So with this in mind, the next "5 on the fifth" is a few days away and you are very welcome to take part. You can either take 5 random pictures of anything that happens to you on the 5th of March (or the days leading up to it) or perhaps go for my suggested theme. This month, the theme is... People (perhaps pictures of people you have met this week or even the first 5 people you see on the 5th?)
The Guy promised he'd treat me to dinner one night this week for taking him to the airport and picking him up this past week. We were planning on Friday, but I didn't hear from him so I texted him Friday afternoon to see if we were going to Saturday. He said we were going to hang Saturday afternoon. He texts me a good morning in the morning, a few texts back and forth, and we agree on 4p.m.
I get to his place at 4p.m. as the workers are finishing most of the tile near the front door. I make my way in to the office where THe Guy is playing WOW. We chat about our day, our week, and stuff like that. We hang there for 45 minutes or so until he says we have to go get the dogs. The tile guys are finishing up. They are done for the day, so he locks up, and we drive to get the dogs. On the way we talk about my bedroom and we are in agreeance that candle sconces are nice, maybe some nice artwork, but again, we don't know what. We may visit Target.
We get to the doggy daycare and The Guy's husky has blood on him. It turns out it is from another dog that got into something it shouldn't. The Guy said it wasn't a big deal. He asked the worker at the counter how her Saturday was going, and she could barely talk. She nearly broke down in tears. She finally got it out that her 5 month old puppy died this past week. She lives with her boyfriend's parents, and they kept the dog in his kennel with his food, and his stomach was bloated. The Guy told the girl at the counter that he was so sorry and if there was anything she needed to give him a call. We left and both felt bad for the girl and then having to be around the other dogs, and probably thinking about hers. We drove back and The Guy tried to call in the sushi order. The place opened at 5. It was 5:20, so he dials, but they don't pick up. He dials back close to 10 times and waits probably a good 2 dozen rings each time before he gets someone. He then asks why they took so long to pick up the phone, and it turns out they were taking reservations and couldn't answer the phone. The Guy tells me we're going to pick Casey up too. I knew that since they were texting earlier. The Guy tells me about Josh on the way. The Guy's friend Joe is on a soccer team, and apparently Josh is too, now. Josh and Joe talked. Joe never brought The Guy up, nor did Josh, which kind of hurt The Guy that Josh didn't. As the two of them were talking, Josh's female friend, his best friend, who is married that he is banging came up and told Joe that he was fat and had gained a lot of weight since he stopped working out at her gym. I was astounded he said that. Joe is the argumentative type, and thankfully replied back that he was busy getting his PHD, going to school and working full time, maybe he has a life outside the gym. Props to him! But I guess that pretty much ended the conversation.
We get to Casey's house and The Guy's dog is growling at Casey's cat, which is pretty funny since he is outside of the car. Casey gets in and is stuck in the back with the dogs. He is on his phone texting, talking about a guy he is sort of dating. This same thing happened the last time in the car where he got in and would talk about other guys he was dating or getting fucked by. I was kind of turned off by that because who does that? The Guy goes in to get the sushi and Casey and I hang out in the car. Driving back to The Guy's place the topic of older guys came up and my Target Date disaster came up. The Guy told Casey about it, and somehow I bring up that the crazy worked at Disneyland. It turns out Casey does too, and wanted to know the crazy date's name. I told him, and he knew who I was talking about. He has 2 friends who dated this guy and said that he was very out there as far as being scary, doing outrageous things, and being inappropriate for a first date. I understand.
Inside the house we cordon off a space so the dogs can't go on the tile and enter through the living room door instead of the main door. We cordon off the living room and kitchen so there is only access to the bathroom, bedroom, and office. I joke that using the dog bed is not a good barricade for the dogs because they'll knock it over and sure enough, THe Guy's husky knocked it down almost immediately. They calm down and come hang out by our feet once we gather in the office. We debated whether to eat the sushi, the 3 of us, on The Guy's bed, but decide to eat at the desk in the office. We joke about possibly playign musical chairs, although The Guy is selfish because I was left sitting on the amp far away from the sushi. I probably have 7-8 pieces of the various types from the tuna roll, salmon, peppered salmon, shrimp roll, and more. I tried to sample everything this time. After eating The Guy and Casey start playing WOW. The Guy put on Lady Antebellum's new CD that he downloaded so that I wasn't so bored and had somethign to listen to. Casey and I were again being argumentative about everything. If he said something was blue, I said it was green. We argued about everything it seemed. The Guy joked that we needed to calm down, love, and he was going to break us up. It was all in good fun, though. I decided I'd get my computer after a while and I could possibly join in on the fun. I go through the many updates and then come to discover that it would not work because The Guy never kept the account I was using activated. We talked about my internet issues and how I will never play WOW at home because of that.
The Guy wants to go in the jacuzzi and invites both of us out about 8p.m. I go with him because I thought Casey might go, but also I wanted to chat with The Guy. I could sense he was bothered by something. We get out to the jacuzzi and he starts off- he is bothered- he kind of likes Casey, Casey will text him saying he is horny, come over, then not be. The Guy has to always pick Casey up since he doesn't have a car, then Casey is always texting, texting other guys at that, and talking about guys he is chasing and guys fucking him. The Guy talked about how he keeps letting people walk all over him like that. He talked about how he was bothered by Matt who texted him the other night he was so horny, yet came over and was just as tired as when we played. He said he needs to reevaulate guys and how it is not fair to him. I agreed. I was going to bring this Casey thing up to him because I know Casey is the kind The Guy likes, and I realized after talking to blogger JC on the internet when WOW wouldn't work for me. The Guy is attracted to Casey because he is young, needs help, and a few other things that causes The Guy to come in, fill that void, and makes The Guy feel good. I was just bothered because of the fact he talked so openly about other guys. The Guy tells me we would hang out again today or tomorrow, but he really wanted Casey to just go, and if I'd say about 11p.m. I just had to go, so Casey would get the hint and leave. I said sure. We talk about The Guy and his weight issues. He is lacking motivation to keep the weight off without Josh in his life. He tells me about how great the Utah trip was, the guy he met on that, and how his mom paid for the entire trip, including his snowboard lessons. It was a good chat.
We go back in and I play around on Grindr since WOW didn't work. The Guy hears the little Grindr message sound and asks me who I'm chatting, then he logs on. We take a few minutes to show each other hot and not so hot guys. Casey is still engrossed in the game. The two of them play and THe Guy buys Casey some weapon , and they play for about another hour. The Guy then announces he is heading to bed and is tired. The Guy turns on the heat, waits around for Casey to make an attempt to leave, and then heads to bed. It was about 15 minutes before Casey was finally ready to leave. I agreed to take Casey back home since he was on my way. In the car we chat about him working for Disney, the Disney gay guys who work there, and other random little things. It was midnight when I got home.
Foot Fetish has been talking about buying me new shoes for the longest time. I tried to stop him, but he did. He had them shipped to my house via amazon, and a gift note that said he was going to find a way to get me shoes. I called him and told him I'll treat him to dinner as a thank you. It'll probably be near his Spring Break since he is so busy with school trying to create an iPhone app and some other random stuff for classes.
Accompanied with pics since I guess it didn't upload right... Thanks Bruce for pointing it out!
I had just settled down for a nice slumber at about 11:10, I'm in my bed ready to fall asleep when the dang Avon lady calls at 11:23. I am annoyed because who the hell calls the home phone after 9p.m.? We haven't had a call after 9p.m. in months, and the last time I think was probably when my grandma died. I was almost kind of worried when we got this call tonight.I get up to see that it says Carla the Bitchy Avon Lady and realize I need to take care of this.
I spring over to the phone, pick up the receiver, and the conversation goes like this:
Me: You rang? Carla The Bitchy Avon Lady: Um, well, um, yes, hello, is your mom around? Me: It is 11:23p.m. Carla: Well, um, is she home? Me: Shouldn't you be asleep like most normal people? Carla: Young man, I am not going to stand for this and let you insult me. Is your mom home? Me: It was only too easy to do (insult her). Um. No. Carla: Oh, I forgot your mom goes to bed early. Me: I thought so. (I hang up the receiver.)
By this time my parents are up, sister is still awake, and my dad is cussing my mom for letting this woman call so late, and how much he hates the woman.
I swear, this woman is so annoying. She gets up at like 2p.m. and goes to bed at 5a.m. or so. She is this old woman constantly complaining about this and that, and her life is so bad, and she needs to go pray this and that that her life will get better. This woman is one of those psycho religious people. She calls and leaves messages on our answering machine that says she is going to church to pray for her plumbing because her toilet is backed up and wouldn't be home if my mom were going to stop by to pick up her Avon. Personally I understand her dilemma- she is full of shit- and well, if it keeps her from calling us, go and pray, by all means. She's too much. The woman just sets me off.
Oh, and it probably didn't help she was at Kaiser when I was today getting her allergy shot also. She asked me to give my mom an Avon book and I remarked something along the lines of I was not her slave, and if she wanted to give it to my mom, she should do it herself.
This guy stands from about 12p.m. to 4p.m. or so daily at various points along the highway that I live off of wearing brown overalls with a white shirt or a black suit with white gloves ringing a bell and holding what I presume to be a Bible. He also always has a walking stick.
I found a pillow that I like finally. My dad and I went to Kaiser with my mom to get the H1N1 vaccine yesterday. My mom had plans with Linda, so we drove separately. I conned him into going to the mall with me. I told him I wanted to go to Macys and look at pillows once we were there. I basically just went, picked out one that looked firm and expensive, and voila, a nice new $120 (BUT it was $60 on sale) Charter Club Damask Dot pillow. I slept well on it last night. Yay.
I also found a couple new accessories for my bedroom in my neverending quest to decorate my room. I want to buy some black curtains for both windows. I added a black bed skirt and black rug to the area to unify it over the past couple days. I still want a nice photo or artwork for the wall to the side of my bed.
