sleep
It's saturday night
Enough of those blues. I called a friend of mine and I'll catch him later.. quite late - 1:00 am - that's when he leaves his shift.
I slept during the day and then I cleaned the house just in time for dinner. I spent the whole time with my speaker system playing some good mood inducing dance music. On its loudest setting. Then I also plugged-in a parallel FM emitter and tuned in with the Hi-Fi system across the house. The place was rocking.
I'm ready for the weekend :)

Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Over the weekend I was honored to have a few Mindsay friends, foreverknight and iverness63, sleep over at my place and then take me home to their place in Janesville! Sunday night was especially magical as we took a late night tour of the country. I don't have enough words to describe the experience. I'm still overwhelmed and in a very happy state of mind over it all. I feel like I owe Rebekah and Josh so much for the joy they gave me! We took A TON of photos during our respective visits. So now I have this HUGE catalog of images to mill through, but out of them all, I had to first post the collection I captured that Sunday night in Janesville. I was hoping to capture a spirit orb, and, sure enough, I did in the first photo pictured above. The second image is a close up of the orb. I know Rebekah will be VERY pleased as the photo features one of her favorite trees! Sometimes little blessings from the spirit world show up to wink at us.
The rest of the images are from the same tree, the forest park floor, and branches of oaks that surrounded us. I love to occasionally take photos like this at night because of how mysterious everything looks in the dark -- to have that bright flash go off like a spotlight on the leaves... what else can I say? I'm happy exhausted. You can see that happy exhaustion in our eyes in the last three pictures. Savannah glows and flies like a ghost on a swing. A lovely long-haired willow tree let us cuddle up to it -- making it appear as if it was swallowing us in the last two photos.
Yeah. Go ahead and say it. We're just a bunch of tree huggers having the time of our lives. I know! *flashes big smile*

White night
Went to a party related to work. It wasn't a boring one at that. They call it white night because at work we always have mexican food. But on white night we have food that white people like (or originated or whatever). It was really fun.
Since mel and I are carpoolers she came with me and all. I was driving so I didn't drink. I only have several glasses of wine when I first got there. It wasn't much considering I was there for 5 hours. Plus I think when my sister and I can split a bottle of Jack Daniels and be fine is something else.
Solfina was pleased that I was there I hear. Her daughter Terisita told me today. Haha. She said I looked like Solfina's husband. That was long ago. But it was flattering I must say. He was a strapping gentleman.
Mel was a little past. and I had to take her home. There was a little mix up or something between her and some of the other people. I pulled up the car and helped her to it. She was a little sleepy on the way home. We got to her place. I grabbed both of her bags and went to the portch. A two story house that rents to several people. I took out the keys and put them into my pocket. I went back to the car and helped her to the portch. I helped her sit on one of the chairs. And told her I would be right back. I went upstairs and got her dog, Maddison. I gave Maddison water and then took it outside to go to the bathroom. Mel was still on the portch and one of the other borders came out to talk to her a bit. After I took care of the dog I went to return him to his room (maddison.) I got a glass of water for Mel because it is always good to have a little water if you have had been drinking. She was hungry so we went around town to find some place to eat. We ended up at a bar where we ordered food. I wasn't severely hungry or had a lot of money on my person. o get there thoShe kept telling me that she was going to die. That she was going to be run over. I had to disagree with her I said because I told her that I had her and that she could lean on me. She ordered an appetizer because she couldn't decide. The ones where you sample about every other appetizer. She said I could have some. We shared. She orded a beer. We did share a deep conversation though. It was very touching even for me. But long story short. We went back to my car. Made a few phone calls. I left my cellphone at my bosses house, Donna. Mel and I went back to her house. She looked at me and asked if I wanted to watch a movie. Obssesed. Heh, I said yes. I never saw it before. We went into her place. Ordered it on the cable. So we watched it. Melanie fell asleep slightly early. I watched a little more of it. I layed on her bed. I looked over at her.She was sleeping. Very peacefully. Slept like an angel. It was cute. I thought it was a good of time as any to leave. I looked up at the cchuckled to myself. I leaned over Melanie and looked at the time. I got up and got my penny loafers and whispered good night. I wrote a note and left it in her kitchen. Vague. But longstory short it was just a reminder for the next day. I patted Maddison on the head. I got home at 3:30 at night. I had a beer and ate something because I hadn't eaten in about 5 hours besides finger foods.

About the Guest
Raymond S. Kopp “was born in the small town of Starrucca, Pennsylvania on September 19, 1951. He joined the Navy upon graduation from high school and his four years of service took him to many places, including Vietnam. Ray left the Navy in September of 1973 and later returned to Navy Reserve duty from 1978 to 1980. He has enjoyed many occupational endeavors, including working as a technical specialist and designer in the aerospace industry, an N/C machinist, a sailing instructor and a skiing instructor.” Raymond S. Kopp is the author of Thunder in the Night: A Sailor's Perspective on Vietnam.
According to the book description of Thunder in the Night: A Sailor's Perspective on Vietnam, “When May 1972 came around, the war in Vietnam was supposed to be winding down. But for a the crews of Task Unit 77.1.2 it was just starting. Steaming into heavily defended North Vietnamese waters the sailors and marines experienced war as they never thought possible. They engaged their foes with crushing, hit and run tactics that helped stem the flow of men and materiel needed for the Communist takeover of South Vietnam. In raid after raid the artillery firefights that ensued showed their adversaries to be well-trained and equipped forces intent on defending the military complexes of the Hanoi and Haiphong region. As time trudged on they found themselves constant targets of enemy fire and inner-psychological warfare.”

Love made in London: The First Night
So we're together now.
I thought I already blogged about it, but I guess not.
And I mean the guy I met in London, whom I had sex with...
He doesn't live in London, though, he lives in Canada, too.
He was on a school trip, same as me.
The two groups just happened to be in the hotel at the same time, which is just amazing.
And it gets even more amazing. Besides that there was two school groups in London, we happened to be staying in the same hotel on some of the same nights, and we just happened to take the elevator at the same time that night!!
And I also, when coming back to the hotel the next night, I just thought to look out the window, and I saw his group coming in!
And so I went downstairs to "look at broschures" hehe. I stood there for I don't know how long, and then he noticed me and came over and asked for a picture.
And then he walks away!!
I was feeling so stupid. I was like, what was I thinking, why would he be interested in me, all he wanted was a stupid picture... and kept looking at him, and he looked over at me.
And then he finally came over, and we started talking, and we sat down in the lobby and talked for an hour or so (didn't look at the time), until one of my teachers told me to go to my room.
Well, I gave him my room number before leaving... hehe!
And later, he came up and we invited him into the room, where my roomate (Sarah) and him and I talked.
And then... Sarah was tired and wanted him to leave... but I got away with just us going over by the door, hehe.
And then...
I poked him and he poked me. Stomach, and then he went up and I went down. And then we hugged, and we kissed. And then I was touching it, and I put it between my legs (still underwear on both) and rubbed it there...and then brought it out and stroked him off. He he.
And...it may have went all over my shirt. >.<
And that was just the first night. We hugged and kissed goodnight...and he asked me what time I would be getting up in the morning, so he could see me.
He got up early just to see me! His group didn't wake up til 10 or so, he said. But he got up around 6, just for me! <3
*title change because I felt it more appropriate, and a double entendre. XD
