Hello loyal readers,


On Friday, I woke up early and met up with Noel to get my haircut. It's always so fun to see him. He was quite disappointed I was going for more of the conservative look this time around. After the haircut, I met up with Timineri for lunch near his office. We had Indian food and it was super yummy. It wasn't as great as Kavari on Fair Oaks. It was a short lunch. I missed him. We did a little catching up and then I was off to take the rice mobile for a wash. It was a 20 mins. wash and they didn't do that great of a job either. I didn't have time for them to correct it because I needed to meet up with Shelly to go shopping. I dropped my car off to get my oil change and Shelly picked me up so we could have dinner at Hooters. Shelly popped my virgin Hooter. I've never been there before. I must say, it wasn't as it was all cracked out to be. The place was ghetto where the tables were all wobbly. The bitches were ugly, but had huge juggers. They didn't have a full bar and the bartender didn't know how to make a damn thing. My Blue Balls ended up with no alcohol. The hot wings and deep fried pickles were super yummy though! After Hooters Shelly and I went shopping. I ended up with two super hot pants and two cute long sleeves. We were running out of time so we headed to Target so I could pick up essentials like candy for Shaunners, febreez, gum, tooth paste, and I found these lip wax to avoid shaving. I rushed home to pack and then was on my merry way to San Francisco.

I arrived at Scottie's place in San Francisco. Surprise! Surprise! Daddy Mike was there too. I thought he wouldn't be able to come until Saturday. We all went out to Drunken Sushi for dinner. We had a glorious time catching up and talking about love, life, and everything else in between. Because Daddy lives in Sacramento because of his work and Scottie lives in San Francisco, for the past nine years they’ve only seen each other twice a week.

I asked Scottie, "You're ok with only two days a week for the past nine years?"

Scottie said, "Let me explain it this way and you will understand..." He continues, "Because of his profession, I have never asked for more nor have I influenced his decision for his work. It's like a wife marrying someone from the military; there are certain risks and sacrifice that comes with loving a military man. It's also a way for me to see if we can stand the test of time. If it could last nine years this way, there's got to be something right. There are so many people who think they know each other within months or a couple of years, they move in together and then they fall apart. I thought I knew my ex-partner of twelve years. You'd think after twelve years you'd know someone right? But no Billy, people change even after twelve years. Some people change together... Some people change apart. Do you understand? Love is something you cannot plan for. It is not something that is calculated nor could it be searched for. Love is an art. Love is sacrifice. Love takes time. Love is a choice."


We all talked until the wee hours and then came home for bed.


Scottie and I woke up early the next morning. He made us coffee and we sat around chit chatting about random things, one of which were about families. The more we talk, the more I opened up. He made me even nearly cried. I swear that man is the next Dianne Sawyer. Daddy woke up and said he wanted Irish coffee. We went to Harvey's on the Castro to meet up with Gordan and Miguel for morning cocktails. Man 'O man was it fun. It's always a blast to get together with them. Scottie invited me up for Thanksgiving and Daddy wants to make plans for Russian River. After a couple hours of drinks and laughter, I headed out to the Mission District to meet up with Shaun.


I arrived at Shaun's place and I sent him a text to let him know that I was there. A few minutes roll by and there was no response. I sent him another text. I decided to go bother the dog that was next to me. After a few minutes I still didn’t get a reply so I called him. There was only two rings and it immediately went to voice mail. So that's nearly 10 minutes that rolled by, so I sent another text. "Are you home?" He replied, "Yeah!" and I sent another text, "I'm here..." So he came out and got me. We walked up the stairs in the pink apartment and when he picked up his phone, all of my text messages came through all at once. "That's what you get for having AT&T," I chuckled. Shaun and I went to go have Indian down the street for lunch. It was soooo yummy! We totally pigged and had a great time. We walked back to his apartment, cuddled for a very long time, talked, laughed to Rick & Steve and our lips met for the first time. He's a great kisser. He's very passionate in the way that he holds me, runs his hands up and down my body and makes me melt when he looks into my eyes. We both decided to get out of bed and head to Santa Cruz for the day.


When Shaunners got into the car, I delivered him his surprise. Candy! Mmm! He was happy like a little child. We started rocking out to Pinback as we got to know each other better. The more we talked; eventually we ended up hand in hand. He then played me the music he listens to and I started to step into his world. He even put on bands that he played in and music from his friends. It seems like a lot of the music he played me, there was a story. Eventually, we drifted into the comfort of one another by just enjoying the drive and the music. Apparently, the directions he wrote down weren't too clear. I had to pull over to a gas station and turn on the GPS as he went to get some slushie. I got our direction pinpointed and he returned with no slushie. "Boo! They don't have slushie, so I got a Rockstar instead." We arrived to Santa Cruz and spotted a 7 Eleven.


I said, "Hmmm... Maybe they'll have slushie in there..."


"Maybe..." He said.


"Lets do it!" as I made a sharp turn into the parking lot.


A strange kid came up to us and started rambling. I guess he gets points for talking to people. He talked for nearly five minutes. "You guys haven't asked how I collect points..." So we asked him how. He pulled out magazine subscriptions. We had to turn the poor kid down. I felt kinda bad for the guy. We went inside and Shaun got gross slushie and I got yummy teriyaki sticks. We were then off to the Board Walk. It started to get super cold and the rides were closed. We ran into a one legged bird and started taking pictures of it. Then we headed off to the arcades. I don’t know how much cash we spent, but we had so much fun. I think funnest game we played was some random military shooting game. We stood side by side as we blasted skeleton soldiers to smithereens. We also played that Chuck 'E Cheese roll the ball in the hoop thing. Shaun also squashed a bunch of spiders. We played a bunch of games that gave us tickets. We ended up giving all our tickets to a random Mexican kid that was sooper cute. He was sooo happy when he said, "Thank you." *Sighs* Someday, I'll have a child of my own.


After the Board Walk, we headed to the tea house to relax. It was going to be nearly an hour before we were admitted. We walked down the street and had sushi at Shogun that one of the girls recommended. It was nicely decorated, but completely packed. We waited about ten minutes to be seated. The food was super cheap for sushi, but mediocre in taste. Either way it was sooper fun. We shoved our faces with sushi and washed it down with lots of laughter. Oh btw! Shaun is going to put out a dance CD with random stupid hooks and we're going to watch it climb the Billboard charts. LOL


After Shogun, we headed to the tea house. We ordered ginger tea and we were lead to our own private room with hot tub and sauna. There was a sliding back door that overlooks a garden with lots of bamboo trees. Shaun stripped down to his underwear and I put on my swim suit. We rinsed off before getting into the water. Our lips immediately met and didn't part until it was time to go. It gave me butterflies when he stopped kissing me, pulled away and starred into my eyes and continued to kiss me again. We went from the hot tub to the sauna as passion intensifies. They then dimmed the lights, letting us know it's time to go. We exited the tea house and Shaun held my hand as we walked to the car. We made our trip back to San Francisco. We turned on a movie, cuddled and once again our lips met. We were overcome with euphoria as we picked up where we left off in the tea house. I fell asleep in his arms and woke up that way.


On Sunday, we went to Crepevine for breakfast. We shared corned beef and hash so that was cute. It was sooper yummy. We then headed onto the Muni to zip across town to see the movie: 2012. We had some time before it started so we headed to the mall. Of course, it was a requirement that we visited the Vans store. There was some sooper cute stuff that I wanted to put him in. Hehe. So then we were off to see 2012. We were hand in hand throughout the whole movie. There were times in the movie where we squeezed each other's hands and held our breathe, wondering if they were going to survive. Once or twice he'll look over at me and just smile and I'll rub his head.


We did not stay for the credits, instead, we zipped back across town because he needed to make meeting. It felt like we were secret agents on Mission Impossible. Of course, he was Bond and I was Jinx. Wait... I think those are two different movies. Anywho... We packed up my car and I took him to his meeting before I headed back to Sacramento. We had our parting kiss and then he pounced off as I watched him disappear into the block around the corner. I set my GPS for home, smiled to myself and started driving.


I like Shaun. I actually like him very much. It's too early to talk about commitment or anything of that nature. I however, do truly want to invest more time into getting to know him and date him more. Scottie said on Friday night, "Do you guys even have the same dream? Without that, nothing can survive." We both want the same thing, but the truth of the matter is distance isn't the only thing between Shaun and I. It's a long shot, but if I don't take it then there's no chance, I would be sure to regret it.


I picked up the phone when I was half way there on the freeway and asked Timineri to have dinner. We had Thai and it was great. I told Timineri all about it. Timineri told me about the boys he's dating. I am as happy for him as I am concerned. But I suppose some progress is better than no progress.


Its 9:45AM, I can smell the yummy left over of Thai in the microwave as I contemplate whether I'd have time to pick up coffee before I walk into the office. This blog entry is coming to a close. 'Till next time!
