Hi to yous, Ari! ;p
I'd actually forgotten this was around, again.. 'til I got an e-mail from Ari adding me to her list. <3
Currently, I'm killing time at work, cross stitching and (secretly! shh) talking on msn webmessenger. And now this, I guess.
Last time I looked thru this journal, I noticed a lot of whining. ;p I've since got on anti-depressants, and I'm wicked happy with my life.
I moved away from Washington state, and I am now living with someone I have known for many years, and we're absolutely, completely in love with each other. His name is Mark!
We're temporarily living with his mom, and that has more downsides than up.. but we're capable of saving monies for our own place. Living close to work, 'cause I'm still of the loserly persuasion with my lack of driving skills.
His brother, Eric, is also staying with us in the 2 bedroom condo that also contains 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a fishie tank that has shrimp! As well as a tetra and a 'sucky boo', sucker fish. Shrimp are fun to watch. They breed worse than rabbits.
The dogs are a corgi/heeler mix, named Domino. As well as a minature Pinchur, Kiwi. I heart Kiwi.
I got a job at a hotel doing Night Audit. Basically, I'm the on that makes sure no one else messed up during the other 2 shifts, I charge peoples, and then sit around watching cartoons/movies online the last 5 hours of my shift. Or, cross stitch. I might have, on a couple occasions slept for 10 minutes in the back office.. The shift is 11pm-7am.
In addition to the Eric, Pam (Their mom), and Mark, there's an Audrey. Which is Eric's daughter, and she's the most adorable girl I've ever seen. Ever. Mark also has another brother, Bryan, and a sister, Kari.
As for stuffs previous to my leaving Washington State.. I lived with my mother for 3'ish years. She had a house made to care for her grandparents, and I ended up taking care of them, too. Grandmother was wicked frail, and died 3 days after I moved away, in May of this year.
Before I moved, I'd visited Mark twice. Once in February, and then again in April. Around November'ish, I'd decided to get money from the state to pay for a visit to see him since I was busy with my grandparents.. Took a long time, but I could finally afford it! The first time, I decided to go Greyhound.. I do not think I'll travel by bus ever again.. was interesting, though. On the way home, I was seizured on by some dude that was sat next to me. Was a first for me.
For the one in April, he paid for a plane ticket instead. So much faster..
I'd flown out of Spokane, to Phoenix direct. Then on the way home, I flew to Seattle. My brother picked me up, and I was to spent the night with him because the next day, he was moving his crap down to Pasco (Where I was living). So it worked out great!
'cept, they had some "going away" drink fest at a bar down the street from where my brother was living at the time. Went there at 8, and left at 3:30am. I drank. A lot. Everyone had. I decided that I didn't want to get into a car with people that had been drinking.. so I decided to walk.
Unfortunately, so did a random guy that doesn't feel the need to ask for sex. Ended up with bruises *everywhere*, but nothing serious.. Had an HIV test immediately, and that was negative. Woo.
Mark and I basically decided that it'd be best to wait for pretty much anything, for 6 months, 'til I'm able to take another HIV test.. since the immediate ones aren't accurate.
It's not very easy, living in the same bed with him and not able to do ..anything. We're frustrated at times. :p grumpy, even.
I get to take the next test in a month. Making him take it with me... Of course, if he has anything, I'm screwed anyway due to what our sexual acts are limited to..
He's 22. Well, just turned 23 September 11th. Not easy for a man that age to not do anything, but he's absolutely amazing about it. Not always happy about it, but understands and agrees.
M'kay, it's 6am and that's breakfast time here. Which means it's busy 'til 7 when I leave. So I have to go!
