Had a big family get together for my graduation with my aunt and uncle tonight. We went to my favorite Spanish restaurant- the one I went to for my birthday. Sister didn't complain THANK GOD. Sister maybe said 5 words. It was beautiful. It was 3 hours of great conversation with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and her boyfriend about iPhones (my aunt and uncle are now envious and want them), work, school, and things like that. It was such a great time. My aunt made me feel so special tonight by apologizing, saying how sorry she was she couldn't go to my graduation, but how she was trying to make it up to me by tonight. She insisted on paying for dinner, which probably totaled $400 by the time we got through with the tapas, the main course, the drinks, and the dessert. My dad was trying to get the bill, but my uncle arrived to the restaurant first and asked that he get the bill. Anyways, the conversation was AWESOME. I love my aunt and uncle so much. Wish they could make my graduation...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now, since my dad insisted on getting me something I kind of pushed tonight that we go out to dinner before my graduation with the family that will be attending, as well as my friends. This would be really special to me because good friends would be coming together. Dennis and Foot Fetish cannot attend on Sunday, however. Gonzo can. The Guy also can. I shot him an
Shooting my email to The Guy was really nerve racking because he could say no. I knew he probably wouldn't, but I told him it would mean alot to me if he'd come and support me. He said he doesn't see a problem.
I am pumped and excited. My parents are getting to meet my friends, which is nice. My parents know Gonzo as she is always over here, but The Guy is a big one in my book. I get to celebrate with my friends. The Guy will get to put faces and names to everyone. All is well.
A random note on seating: The Guy and Gonzo cannot sit next to my sister- much blood may be shed. HAHA
In a way I am nervous because he is older, he is gay, but it isn't apparent. We have a sexual history together, but that will not come up unless my parents ask later, but I strongly doubt they will because that can't be inferred. I guess more than anything it is my mind working overtime that I am worried in that he is a friend I've had a little different relationship with. Would I have any qualms inviting another friend about his age that I didn't have sex with? No. And from here on out, I'm not going to be... I am not inviting him to make a statement. Remember- I don't want any drama. I don't need drama. I doubt there will be. I'm inviting him because he is such a great guy, and I'm fortunate to have him as a friend. I'm not ashamed of him. My parents know most of my friends are "older." I know my parents will go out of their way to make him, as well as all of my friends, feel welcome.
My only other concern is that my lie that he is a friend from Spanish may come out. He doesn't speak a word of Spanish. I may brief my mom ahead of time it is a different The Guy. I may tell The Guy my mom is going to think you're the guy in my Spanish class with your name, or maybe he'll just play along... WHAT TO DO HERE?!?!?!
I would rather The Guy come than not PLEASE, DO NOT GET ME WRONG- I would be more hurt had I not asked him, not invited him, just as if I had invited Gonzo and she said no.
Gonzo says I have nothing to worry about, and I'm sure she's right. I am sitting here giving myself mad props for doing it. YAY.

Random Thoughts: Anchor Edition
My first question is what the hell is KTLA's Leila Feinstein wearing?

I'm all for wearing something unusual, but I'm not sure what this is, but please, don't wear it again.
Second, when is KTLA going to put someone more competent on the anchor desk like Cher Calvin or Lynette Romero in the evenings?
Oh, and did you know that former Miss America, Lu Parker, of KTLA is now getting dating Mayor Villaraigosa? He seems to get around. He isn't divorced yet. She still has her twangy southern accent. Have you seen her website that seems to advertise more about her sex appeal than her anchoring abilities?
Third, my dad still thinks John Gregory and Lisa Hernandez of KABC 7 are brother and sister because they look alike, and really get along well together he can tell.


Long lost brother and sister? Hmmm....
Fourth, all of the anchors this Sunday morning were wearing purple. Lisa Hernandez had some purple on, Robert Holguin had a purple tie, and nasally Indra Petersons had a purple dress on.

Robert Holguin and Lisa Hernandez anchoring- Robert is quite hot, like John Gregory, in my opinion.
And speaking of Indra, I've noticed that since I complained months back about her not wearing a dress she seem to have visited Ross Dress for Less to pick a few up.

Star Trek Date
Good morning, all! It is 2:06a.m. and I'm wide awake, so alas, I write...
I messaged Chris a few times during the day to see how he was. He was at Disneyland with his son. I messaged him when I saw him online in the evening about 7 and he asked what I was up to. I just finished watching "Casino Royale" and was unimpressed. I wasn't really up to a whole lot of anything. He told me I still owed him a Star Trek date since he wanted to see the movie, but hadn't yet with me. I looked up the times and told him it was playing at 10. He told me to come over anytime up until 10.
I get to his place at 8 and he is working on a website for his lawyer as an exchange for legal fees from his divorce. He can't afford to pay her more, so he is going to wow her with a website. We talked about our days- he was at Disneyland while I was home sleeping in and watching movies. I had spent most of the night at Kaiser and was exhausted all day. He spent an hour doing that while we watched "Law and Order," then he decided we needed dessert. We got our jackets on and walked to Victoria Gardens where we were going to go to Lucilles or TGI Fridays, but the bars were packed at both of those and no chance of getting dessert before the movie. We decided on Coffee Bean instead. We both ordered the same drink.
The movie was good and we held hands through about half of it. This was our 1st month of knowing each other- it was this time last month I was seeing it with Jeff and Jeff. He agreed afterward it was 2 hours of creaming your pants because the action was so great and Captain Kirk was so hot.
Back at his place we watched "Rescue Me," which I hadn't seen, but wanted to because Josh and The Guy have spoken so highly of it. Throughout the whole show I sneezed. I had such a bad allergy attack. It was horrible. I left about 1:15 when he declared it bedtime.

Escaping before school
When I sub, my mom and I carpool together. It is a 30 mile trip, and usually pretty fun. The rule is if I drive I control the radio. That means I may listen to country, oldies, pop, rock, whatever, though my mom may not like the choice.
Thursday morning on our way to work they were playing "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes. My mom says everytime KOLA 99.9 plays it in the morning when she is getting ready for work, she turns it off. And they usually play it 3 times a week she says. She says she doesn't support the drinking or cheating that goes on in the song she joked. Well, they were playing it Thursday morning, so to annoy her I sang along.
"I said that she should sing along too. She said she'd sing to something else. I said no, this was my favorite, so she had to. And so she did. It was hilarious sitting there, singing
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I'm sure we looked like the 2 biggest nuts in the world sitting in the traffic on the 60. We were moving our heads around, bobbing all around, singing as off key as we could. Wild and crazy before we got to school...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And speaking of Music, America is going to be at the Beaumont Cherry Festival on Saturday (A Horse With No Name, You Can Do Magic), and I'm tempted to go since it is only $5.
Sunday I will be going to a concert- either Gavin Degraw with my cousin at The HOB at Downtown Disney, or to see Brenton Wood and the Grassroots at the Cherry Festival, also only $5. I really don't know which I'd rather go to more...

Two trips in 1 day
The Guy has been having a hard time lately, so I texted him Tuesday night since I hadn't heard from him. I told him I missed him and wanted to see him. He said he was free 12:30-2:30. I said that would work. He lied to his parents about being off site testing their network because he is wanting to be alone and away from everything.
He was playing some WOW when I arrived. We talked and then decided to head out to the usual place with the salmon and potatoes for lunch. While driving over we talked about family, then he called his mom to apologize for not stopping by the office to help out, but the onsite testing was crazy. The restaurant closed so we went next door for Mexican food that was rather disappointing. The Guy had a chicken and parsley burrito while I had some enchiladas. They tasted like enchiladas made from canned sauce. Oh well. This is probably the 4th or 5th time in nearly 2 1/2-3 years of knowing The Guy we ate in at a restaurant- actually sat down and ate. We talked about my sister who is still continuing her little antics. We talked about my dad. We talked about school. He talked about Josh. Josh and him are hanging out 2-3 days a week again, but he is not buying him anything extravagant, and trying to not manipulate Josh. He told me how he is now seeing Josh is on a much lower level intellectually and things like that than The Guy. He says he is doing this to be eventually able to break away from Josh. Who knows. Not me. I again just told him how I felt this was not a good idea because he was hurt so badly. Though he says he loves Josh more than he has ever loved any guy, how his intuitions were right that Josh is gay, and things like that, it is not a good idea. I know he was hurt and it did take 4-5 weeks to rebound, but I don't want to see him hurt like that again, go through that. He was a little defensive/refuted those points, but as a friend it was my job to at least say something I felt.
We just hung around talking and playing a little WOW until about 2:30-3 when he had to go to the gym.
------------------------------------------------
I got home about 3 and got an instant message from Chris about 5 asking me what I was up to, what I was doing that night, and things like that. I told him I had zero plans since nobody was home. Sister was with my mom who was getting her hair done and my dad had graduation at school. I said I was alone and planned on running naked through the house or something like that to celebrate. He told me to take pictures. He was watching his son from 5:30-7:30 and invited me over. I made sure I wasn't intruding on his time with his son. He assured me I wasn't because he wouldn't have invited me otherwise. So I made my second trip over to the area...
His son is eating out on the patio. We watch him do that, then grab him, and head to Chick-Fil-A. They have a play land, which we watch him play in while we eat. All the moms with their kids commented on what a cute kid we had and wanted to know how old he was. I felt a little weird- did they think we were gay? There is definitely an age difference of 6-7 years between Chris and I- what did they think our relation was? I didn't really care, but I was just kind of curious. Nothing was going to happen.
Back to the apartment. Chris asks his son if he wants to run around nude before his bath. He joked that I can still do that later too. I was surprised. His son is only 1 and barely speaks, but his kid was around. He runs the water, then puts his son in. He told me that we'll have to take a bath together later. In the meantime, we sing "The Wheels on the Bus" and he washes his son.
He gets his son ready to go home and takes him home. I stay at the apartment and watch TV. He comes back and gets on facebook and uploads photos of his son and himself from the photo shoot he had a few weeks back. He also has to save the day at work because their catalog was going to print in minutes and the picture on the front page was the wrong one. He accessed his work computer from home, then played around on Adobe InDesign to fix it. That was cool- I'm learning InDesign actually right now since my sister (she was actually good for something) got me a copy of it since she was using it in school.
After saving the day, it was bathtime. He filled the bath all the way up, put some bubble bath in, lit the candles, and put on big band music. We got undressed and got in. I held him in the tub, which felt incredible. I love holding him. I loved rubbing his arms, chest, licking his ears, kissing his cheek, and then him playing with my legs. He turned around and we stared kissing, making out, and stuff like that. We did get out before we turned into prunes. We didn't get dressed, however. We got to the bed, got under the covers, made out again. He sucked me a little bit, then more kissing, then turned me over, licked my ass, then back around, more making out, more holding each other. I really like him. I jerked him off and then I got myself off because again, it takes me too long to cum. We talk, then clean up afterward.
We go to the living room and watch an episode of "Malcolm in the Middle," and the Fox 10P.M. News where we talk about how bad Christine Devine, Carlos Amezcua, and Mark Thompson are. We don't care they are on twitter. Mark is not hot. We only watched them because he had it Tivo'd so he could zip through the commercials. I offered to help him clean up the kitchen, but he said no, he had a burst of energy. He was cleaning up his son's mess. He finished and we cuddled for about 15 minutes on the couch before he deemed it bedtime. It was probably about 11:30.
He walked me out to the car and I got home about midnight. I had to get up at 5:41 the next morning, but the night was worth staying out late for. It wasn't too hard waking up actually.

I'm sorry.
