thepnutgallery | Bye Ken. Bye Jason. (Reply)

Friday - Woke up with Ken on Friday, though I drifted in and out of sleep until after his shower. He laid on the bed and kissed me for a bit, and told me it was all going to be alright. He mentioned several times that he was always going to love me, but did not mention that he wasn't going to break up with me. It was nice to have the affection, at any rate. Just before he left, he was going to decorate Justin's door, but his Hello Kitty sticker's were at the bottom of the pile of formerly wet papers. He still wasn't buying that I'd just spilled water on them, so just threw them away and went to work. I accomplished surprisingly little during the day. E-mailed back and forth with him - he thanked me for being wonderful and listening the night before, and I thanked him for opening up. At 3, I finally managed to get up off my ass and buy some more stickers. I went to Ralph's first, then to the Postal Palace, then to CVS, then finally to Target, where they were selling Hello Kitty stuff for $1/ a pop. Bought $5 worth of stuff, then headed home just about 4 min. before Ken got home. He'd only had a half day, but then had golf and the like with his company. He didn't notice the stuff at first, but came back and thanked me for it after he did. We talked for a few minutes before he left, him asking what I was nervous about, and running through a list of possible scenarios. Am I worried he's going to find some rich daddy to take him all around the world? No. Am I worried that he's going to have sex? No, but that's because I figured that was going to happen. This started some weirdness, as he's apparently not planning on having sex at the All World's Resort....All World's like the porn company....anyway, all I said was that he knew very well what I was worried about. He kissed me some more, and then it was time to go. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I popped onto A4A a little after he left. Ended up going over to one of the guy's houses that I've been meaning to hook-up with, which was brief. Headed over to Justin's b-day dinner right after, and met Brandon on the way there. Brandon was a bit upset that Ken had ditched Justin's party, and a bit upset that the decision to go on Friday instead of Saturday was so sudden, but I tried to explain that sometimes people just need to do what they need to do.
The dinner was late getting started, so I hung out and chatted with a fairly tipsy Matt and Chris. We were able to work out a seating arrangement for us plus those friends of ours we knew were attending. The dinner was good, that there was an awkward moment when one of the courses contained some bowls of steamed veggies. By that time though, not only would that have made things awkward from a payment perspective, but I'd gotten into a mindset where I just didn't want to eat. Chatted with Brandon's mum, though I didn't go into too much detail about what was going on. Took Chris and Matt outdoors for a smoke, except that neither of them had one, so I was my social self and bummed one for them. We headed back indoors just in time for the end of the dessert course, and chatted longer as the bill was passed around. I tapped out shortly after that, headed home and made a drink. Jason called, apparently not a block from the apartment (thank goodness he's leaving on Monday)but i love ken...yup...i do...yup yup. he's the best person ever. and he came over for a drink before we went out. Met Dallas over there, gave him my LA Fitness card. I didn't drink anymore inside, though I did have a glass of tap water or two. Alexander was very much on, so we didn't spend very long on the sidelines. The badass dancer girl that is sometimes there was there, and druuuunkdrunkdrunk, and got up on a gogo box, even staying on when the gogo dancer tried to get back on. She also stayed on when her friends and security tried to pull her down. She finally got off, only to come back 15 min later when some little lesbian was dancing on it instead, and respond with holy fury. It was hilarious to watch. Jonathan Cahoon was there, and we danced some, but mostly I danced with Jason and Dallas. I had to tap out on account of my ankle, and was rewarded by a shorter, heavily muscled gent approaching me after a moment. We only chatted for a moment, before Jason and Dallas approached me and his friends approached him and we went our separate ways. It was a little after 1 or 1:30 at that point, so I said goodbye to Jason and went inside. Again, I probably shouldn't have, but I popped onto A4A, hooked up with a gent I'd been meaning to. Not how I wanted the night to go, exactly, but satisfactory.
