Well, after a touch of last minute web searching, I am so not trying to hook up with anyone in Jamaica. I really hadn't planned on it, with sharing a room with Emily and being there with family. But I wasn't going to turn down the idea. But not so much, it's not too gay friendly down there.

Anyway, all packed (except for a new glasses case, since mine decided to break today) and will head over to Em's soon to spend the night. I'll most likely check email and LJ as I'm there.

Gays of Our Lives last night was very funny. It was a bit slow in parts, but soap operas are like that. They pulled off the feel of a soap very well, lots of dramatic poses and plenty of fake sex. Dave didn't show up, his bike ride ended up going long or something. It's OK, I really didn't expect him to show up anyway.

One of my two blinds arrived yesterday, but in the wrong color. So now I have to try and retun it. I'm hopeing they let me go to a store to do it instead of trying to mail it back.

Today will be long, since I had a chiropractor appointment (you'd think they'd be covered under our insurance, wouldn't you?) and maybe work at Apex. I need to get to the west side and go shopping for trip things. Maybe go out after. Tomorrow is the Mary Kay convention at the Hilton, which I really don't want to do and will suck lots. Good money though.

Last night Laura asked me to do a toast at the reception dinner in Jamaica, and then two more at both receptions. I probably will have to write 3 then. And get cracking on it soon. Like today.

I am not getting sick right before I go to Jamaica. I am not getting sick right before I go to Jamaica. I am not getting sick right before I go to Jamaica. I am not getting sick right before I go to Jamaica. I am not getting sick right before I go to Jamaica.

Not really. Not doing it.

Tonight I'm going to see Gays of Our Lives with Dave. Should be funny, it's been getting a lot of good reviews. Might hit the Shamrock after if he's up for it.

[livejournal.com profile] anothersuperboy, what collection was that short film where the two boys go swimming and kiss and then the "striaght" one freaks out? I was looking for it, but since someone doesn't tag their journal, it's hard to find it. :) Thanks for the package, BTW.

Team chooseing last night went well. We are having 11 teams (up from 8 last year). The interest is good, except with an odd number of teams, one team will have a bi each week. I'm not too happy about that, I want to plat more. We are having around 13 players per team, we can field 10, so the extras are for attrition. I had 14 people wanting to be on Orange, so I cut one guy that didn't have any ties to other players and ended up with 3 guys (including me) and 10 women. I feel kinda bad about that, a lot of the other teams ended up with only one or two girls. It's not that I'm hording all the good softball players lesbians, its just that they all wanted to be on the team. We only have two "A" level players, so I don't see us dominating the league. And I will have no pissed off girls at me, which is very good.

Volleyball was fun afterwards. The other team was good, if not a bit whiney. We one two, played hard. The floor was slippery from all the humidity in the air. And the courts smelled bad, like sweat. Ben seemed very tired and down, I think being softball commish is hard. He has to listen to a lot of complaining. He seemed better after some good physical exercise. And like he said, after the season starts he won't have to do much. He can give it all to Marky.

I called the guy that moved here from Milwaukee to remind him that he should sign up soon. He seemed surprised and pleased that I took the time to do it. He's really cute, so I'd love for him to play and thus I can get to know him more. It is getting close to the time for me to find my next summer boy. ;)

Six days and I fly out. I'm getting excited.

On week from today at this time I will be in the air on the way to Jamaica. w00t!

Week is turing crazy busy, I'm very happy I relaxed on Sunday night. I think I'll have to do that Friday night too. Between packing, softball, volleyball, theater and Apex... busy boy.

I'm not sure if I am packing too much for the trip. It has been decided that we will check lugauge (even though I worry about that). But I am going for 7 days, days which will have beach activities, hiking activities, night clubs, shopping and a wedding. So the 6' by 9' area of my bedroom covered in clothes I'm bringing dosen't seem too much. I worry I'm being a bit too gay here... oh well, stick with what you know, I guess.

And I have just been infomred that we are taking a field trip up to Wisconsin Dells to check out the location of the Fall convention. While this should be interesting, I had planned on doing some stuff today. Oh well.

I had an interesting dream last night. There was a lot going on, but the part I remember was that Wendy's cat Isthar was there running around the floor. I reached down to pick her up, expecting her to twist away as usual. Instead she put her paws on my sholders and told me that I needed to play with her. I said yes but that I had to do something else first. I don't remember what that was. Very odd.

Also last night there was quite a party at my house. I didn't know about it or was a part of it. People came over at 2:30am, stayed up loudly until 4:30. I was not too pleased. Tom and Kristin appologised, but it still made for an early 6:30am work shift.

After a nap I hit the gym, tanned, returned some stuff to Target and got a hair cut. Later will be Irish themed dinner and then The Kissers at the High Noon. Tomorrow will be a lot of chilling time, maybe planning what I need to bring to Jamaica.

I saw a little bit of The Day After Tomorrow at the gym tonight. It seemed OK, typical disaster movie. I do see what people were talking about with the facts of the movie being way off base though. I mean come on, like the lead girl would pick that rich kid over Jake Gyllenhaal. Please...

Went off to Village Lanes after tanning and working out to sub for a team in Sam's league but no one from the team showed up, so I couldn't even sub. So now I'm home watching Supernatural. 14 days and I fly to Jamaica.

Last night was OK. Got roped into more Apex work, and I was pissy enough that I kinda snapped at Em over email. She doesn't deserve that. It's not her fault I hate that place so much. I have decided that if they don't let her go on the trip to Jamaica I will never work for them again. Got Laura's wedding invitations done though, and some BSG. I should have gone directly to the extended cut of Pegasus and not watched the original. I did buy the piolet for Fallen on iTunes (being as it was $4). So now I will see how it works to watch shows on the iPod screen. Almost bought Season 2 of Avatar, but didn't want to wait for the download.

Today seemed it would go well until after my shower. Then I had to watch 10 minutes of Anna Nicloe and her death. I'm sorry she died, it's bad when anyone dies young, especially if they have dependents. But I'm sure a lot of people died yesterday. And a lot of them were more important or tragic than she was. So having the top story on the morning news her death, and then have it go for 10 minutes is stupid. Then we finally get to actual news, like the war. And 8 minutes later, back to A.N.S.

Then I get hit with more theater stuff on the poster I'm doing. This will be the last one I do for a while. I'm not enjoying it and need to drop activities. Being too busy makes me a bitch.

I've kinda given up with thinking I'll enjoy this job. But I do not have the energy to look heavily for a new one yet. Hopefully it won't take me 2 years like it did at Apex.

I don't think me getting on the softball executive board was a good idea. Now instead of thinking "fun, friends, exercise, new people" when I hear about softball I think "work, people who don't follow though on commitments, last minute scrambling, gay-politics and drama". I'm not sure I even want to play next year at this point. Probably should talk to someone about this.

Working out at the gym once a week isn't really helping, I don't think. The membership was a waste of time and money, I think. I'm sure it's helping not to get fatter, but I'm not getting into shape. And seeing other people who are in shape just discourages me, not drives me. But I don't think I'll get much of a refund if I try.

We played decent last night. I just have to accept that most of my team dose not have my reflexes on the court. There were many times where the ball just dropped with everyone standing flat footed, not moving towards it at all. We won all three, and there was some good playing on our side, but it was closer than it should have been. But starting next week is the string of trips. Kiki is gone for a week (along with Gina, so no sub there), Em is gone to Herdon every other week or so, then me and Em (at least I hope she can still go, I'll be upset if she has to stay and work) are off to Jamaica. I can see our high ranking spot drop quickly as we get subs that aren't used to playing with our team.

All yesterday almost everyone I dealt with pissed me off in some way. Today isn't looking any better. Not sure why I'm so crabby, but I am.
