Two months pass...

This update, about a short passionate affair, then a secondary attempt with a long term affection, coincided with damaging a long term committed friendship... I really screwed up in June of 2008!!!

I've edited out the overly specific details, and will move on from here!

Two months since my last post...

Short but passionate affair with a handsome young professional, got my hopes up then ...

Though I have admitted to being a better person within a relationship, than without...

Then to make matters worse, my love of last year, offered to help rebuild our friendship...

The last roommate I had robbed a dozen men here in Atlanta, as well as Florida and California perhaps, and then sent out an email claiming he had killed himself.

And though I have friends reaching out to me, I simply don't have the strength to explain everything to them so I'm walking away for a while.

I've got time to make up with my family, some camping trips planned. I'll try to spend as much time as possible outside the city of Atlanta and see if that jars something loose...

Certainly won't go back to older groups of friends, as they were all drinkers and I'm not interested in that anymore either.... so lets create some new healthy friendships...

Looking forward to the INMAN PARK FESTIVAL

Will be hanging out with both family and friends, new and old...

I love the people watching...

And having both my nephews and my good gay friends around makes it amazing...

Great Parade... etc

I'll tell all how it was after the fact...

and ask me about Stephen!

FTX weekend continued my good weekends trend...

2008-04-01T12:18:10Z

Frolicon was great and then I got to spend a quiet weekend killing people in the woods east of Atlanta. The Stargate Atlanta LARP "Field Training Exercise" FTX was great. Weather held out until after we were done with the adventure... the actors as well as players were amazing... Theresa's food great as always... I have to thank Susan again and again for getting me involved with these folks.

I look forward to the Stargate Atlanta gathering and the Outworlders' Game Night this weekend. Perhaps I can continue the trend into the summer.

Need to organize that Torchwood retrospective at my place, and at least one camping trip up to The River's Edge.

But first Shannon and Shaunnon's Wedding Dinner... Tonight!

Frolicon!!!

Recuperated yesterday, and back to work today... Frolicon was amazing again!

I spent Friday evening with last years boytoy Brian, and hope that we are hooking back up again (after much drama due to long distance between us)... It was great spending the Green Fairy Party with Brian, Robert, and a bunch of new friends.

Then Saturday I went hot tubbing, played games, visited the dungeon, and partied with Seannon and Shannon at our spontaneous Cuddle Party!

Werewolf for an hour while the girls got busy on the pushed together beds... Pretty new for me, and I've seen much in my years...

Sunday I hung around for the post con discussions, then rushed home to bathe and fall asleep in front of the TV...

Thanks to everyone that made it so special for me!

D&D

2007-11-30T13:01:15Z

Last week the D&D characters got the boy out of the druid camp, so this week they went up against the Temple of Imad (worshipping Dagon). But much to their surprise they were intercepted by an evil little friend of theirs, the Lord of Mischief, Darklock.

They didn't take it very well, and I suppose they are feeling that I'm being a bit heavy handed about the plot line at this point. The fact is I was caught by surprise again by their choice of missions. I give them too many options I suppose, but I should have had some effective guardians in place before they got all the way in there.

It's another fine Thursday...

Tonight I get to DM my long standing D&D campaign once again. They will be up against a crew of mislead Druids protecting a boy-prince. And these Druids are gonna fight to the death.

Unless they don't.

Late night tonight. Just finished a long-winded, all role play, D&D session. My team gets so cranky when I don't let them kill anything all night long.

Looking forward to a quiet weekend at home, with a possible bowling night out!

Then back to the grind on Monday.

Stuck inside the grind...

2007-06-26T10:05:39Z

Pride is over with. And I survived.

My old bones made it through three days of walking, hugging, smiling, and flirting.

And I had a great time.

Too busy the week before to journal, and still too busy to think outside the box...

Too many pans in the fire...

Monday I worked 'till 5pm, then tried to go buy a window AC unit, to tide me over until I can afford the repair of my house AC. But, as I was comparing prices at Sears, my father called to say he had been in a car accident. He was fine. He'd been slammed sideways by a foolish teen driver ricocheting off an SUV.

Once I got him home I went right back to Sears, got the AC and took it home. Slept well for the first time in weeks, though I awoke through during the night concerned about possible pneumonia. I shot it up from 65 back to a reasonable 69.

Yesterday, I worked 'till 4:30, then raced home to put the second window AC unit in the kitchen window, as they were on sale and I had talked myself into two of them.

The house was back to a reasonable 73 degrees by nightfall.

I was feeling pretty guilty hosting D&D every week with my players looking red and uncomfortable, even in my basement, which is always 10 degrees cooler than upstairs.

Today, I'll work a long day, as tomorrow I'm leaving early to set up for Screen on the Green at Piedmont Park. "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid".

Starting fresh... kinda...

2007-06-11T18:50:15Z

I have blogged before... usually centering on my need for a loving relationship, as opposed to finding the right man...

Now I'm starting this blog with a bit of a twist.

This blog I'm gonna actually update, and suffer the consequences of.

Let's see how that goes.

I'm at work now... so 'nuff said.
