Not much has happened since Wedneday. My health has continued to improve, with a smattering of random coughs being the only lingering sign of what was, last week, a very annoying illness.

I talked to my friend Paul, who lives in San Francisco; he's coming to visit his friend Michelle, who is getting married again, in a few weeks. He should be here May 18 - May 24; he wants to hang out, and maybe see Episode III. On a side note, Paul & I both went out with Michelle's first husband, Dean. My life used to be such a soap opera. lol It will be good to see Paul; he even mentioned he might be able to bring me to the wedding as his date. lol That would be amusing, though I have no idea when the wedding is per say, or if I work.

Mark's twin brother, Marcus was fired from his job of 7 years; he & his wife just had a baby; this pisses me off more than I can say! But he makes a fairly good sized amount of money from some software that he designed, and he'll be able to collect a good sized unemployment, so maybe he'll be ok. Maybe he'll find a better job, and get to spend a lot more time with his new son. That's what I'm hoping for anyways. ;-0)

I've been working on my D.C. Animated Universe character guide, and I believe I'm done with Justice League, as it is at this moment in time. I wish the 3rd Batman Boxed set would be released NOW, but I've only got about 24 days before it arrives, and I'm sure I have more productive things to do in that time.

I'm still single. Still not having sex. And it's still ok. But it's still kind of odd too. And I wouldn't mind meeting an interesting guy right around now. One who is not taken, and who is not going to intrigue me right away, and then disappear just as fast as he arrived. But I can wait. Apparently, I can wait. My hand's getting quite the workout though...

Mark e-mailed me some links to stuff he wanted for his birthday; a subtle form of blackmail. "Get me one of these things or else!". I feel bad that I didn't get him anything for his birthday, but I suck at birthdays. I used to tell everyone I knew that I didn't do birthdays; I would even give them something small, but meaningful the day before, or after, maybe to selfishly set myself apart? I don't know; I want to connect with people, and giving them something they want, seems...lame somehow. Like it's too easy. Like it lacks depth. So I've kept my eyes peeled for something more impressive. I thought maybe a cd, with poetry and the like, which I do have started, but I've been so uninspired in that arena as of late, that nothing has really come of that. I don't know. When people give me things that I want, I tend to find it anti-climactic, but maybe I'm just really weird. Mark gave me the most amazing birthday party last year, and the gifts that I got weren't anything that I could have wished for, and were therefore, welcomed. Just seeing everyone together was enough for me, actually; that was the thing that still haunts me... And the thing that finally destroyed my friendship with Darla, at least at my end; but that's another story; one that I still don't feel like telling.

Back to Mark, he made me some chocolate chip cookies yesterday (without the chips, which I can't have), from scratch, but they ended up just tasting like sugar cookies. I've been trying to not eat as much crap lately; trying to eat a little more healthy, but I tried one of the cookies, and I didn't really like it. I did like the effort though (it was sweeter than the cookies themselves); but something kept us from connecting, I think... I don't know what it is lately, but we seem distant, somehow. I should set aside some time for us.

So I'm awake, and showered, and Mark needs to be at work soon. Maybe I'll drive him, and then visit my sisters, or Mollie & Carrie, or...I should take Dad some clothes; I washed them for him, but then I was so miserable last week that I didn't want to leave the house at all. We'll see. I actually feel kind of tired. And I have no idea what today may bring.
