Currently Watching While You Were Sleeping see related

Doin' alright

Well, things are going alright.  I'm sitting here watching While You Were Sleeping.  I just love Sandra Bullock, she's so pretty.  So I've been talking to this guy online.  He lives off of Slaughter Rd, which is just a half mile away from here and we haven't met yet, but I really like talking to him.  We have a lot in common and want the same thing out of a relationship.  And for some reason he likes me.  We're planning on meeting sometime next week, not too sure when since I'm still in training at Carrabba's and don't know when I'll be done with it.  And he can cook, I mean, hello!  A boy that can cook!  You can't let those get away, lol.  (Oh, did I mention that he's incredibly cute?)  I'm just enthused about how things are going. 

Oh, in other news my parents and I sat down and discussed boundries and such with me living at home now.  We figure that I'll be here for about 6 months, rent free and such while I work on paying my bills and everything.  I'm attending church with them, which I'm actually okay with, I like Asbury.  It's a good church and I know that I'm accepted there, hell, the minister and I sat down and talked about homosexuality and how he feels about it.  I'm happy there.  So my parents and I also discussed dating (can we say, oh my god?) which was always a taboo topic for the most part.  But they actually said they were okay with me dating which is phenominal.  It was just a very good conversation, which segwayed into religion which was also a good conversation. 

Anyway, that's all I've got right now.  Oh, and the guy I've been talking to is cool with the fact that I go to church.  It's not easy to find too many guys around here that respect religious beliefs.  In fact, I invited him along to church with me sometime and he said he'd like that but that he was worried how it would look.  He didn't realize that I'm out at everywhere, I mean in my personal life, at work, at church, I'm not afraid of who I am.  I'm certainly not going to push him to go with me but I do want him to know that he's always welcome, and I think he might actually go with me sometime (which to me is kind of a big deal).  He just seems to me like the kind of guy you could build something lasting with, and someone I would feel proud to one day introduce to my parents.  That's always been something that's been a big deal to me.  I think I'm starting to ramble now.  Anyway, I'm just very hopeful and I would like things to work, but I'm not going to try and force anything.  But anywho I need to get ready to go to work.  Hope everyone's doing alright.

Home

Hey guys, I don't think too many of you know about this but I'm back home in Madison for a while now.  Wed night I attempted to take my life.  Thankfully some friends of mine that I text messaged a good bye to called my parents and they drove down to Bham and banged on my door until I opened up.  I spent the night in the psych ward of Carroway Medical Center and I'm now home in Madison.  I'll be here for a bit at least while I get things back on track.  I don't think I've ever been so happy to fail at something.  I'm looking at this as a new start, a way to start with a clean slate.  I have to thank all my friends for their messages of support.  It was very touching to find that so many people cared about me.  For some reason it had never sunk in before.  Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone here as to what is going on with me.  If you want any more info you can check out my myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/jondaniel83 Anyway I'm going to do some laundry, get a haircut, and start picking up applications for a job up here.

Warning, sex stuff in here, reader beware!

Alright, so this weekend was pretty crazy.  First off, no one is allowed to judge me on what happened, I won't have it, lol.  So it started off with Friday.  As some of you may know I have a myspace account which I've become addicted to.  I'm not one of those folks that has umpteen thousands of friends that they never talk to but I enjoy it.  Anyway, last week I got a random email from a guy that lives in Pinson, about 30 minutes outside B'ham.  We got to emailing back and forth and I thought the boy was quite cute so he asked if I wanted to meet.  Now here's where the non-judgmental part comes in.  He's still in high school, he'll be graduating in about a month so he's a senior but he is about five years younger than me.  I happen to really like him.  We met in the lobby of the hotel that his school was having their prom at.  Yes, I met a boy at his prom.  After the prom ended (I didn't go to his prom with him, I just met him there as it was ending) we went with a bunch of his friends to a bowling alley in Pinson.  That was a lot of fun, I got to sit and chat with him and meet a bunch of his friends.  After that we went to one of his best friend's house and hung out there.  The girl apparently lives by herself because her mom is always staying over at her boyfriend's.  So we hung out there until late in the evening and we had a few drinks and such.  Brian and I ended up cuddling on the couch that night (well, it started off cuddling... then making out... then um, well, he blew me)  Man, that makes me sound so trashy...  Anyway, we woke up the next morning and then he had to head home (He lives with his parents, who don't know that he's gay btw).  We saw each other again on Saturday night.  He came into Birmingham and we went to eat at Panera Bread and then we were gonna walk around my neighborhood but, um, lets just say we got side tracked...  We ended up at my apartment and in the bed and I'm sure you smart cookies can figure out the rest.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves though.  After that he headed home because his parents wouldn't let him stay out since he'd stayed out the night before.  We met up again yesterday and he told his parents he was staying at his friend Matt's house (I've met Matt, and Matt's boyfriend Cory, both of them are pretty cool).  So he actually spent the night with me instead.  I'm not usually one for getting into the details of my sex life, but let me tell you, that was some of the best sex I've ever had, oh my god.  He might be stopping by again later today because he's got a meeting in Vestavia that he has to go to.  Oh yeah, he's out of school today, for some reason Pinson has a school day today, not sure why, but hey, we didn't knock it.  Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm now more relaxed than I've been in several months, LOL.  I'm thinkin' this boy is going to last, I really like him and he really likes me, and it seems that his friends love me, what can I say?  I'm just a loveable guy, hehe.  Anyway, I'm off to run some errands, then clean myself up and go down to the Grape to talk to my friend Jeff.  Have a good one folks!

Going Once, Going Twice, and its Sold to the Developers!

I'm fairly certain that Watts Realty is selling our apartment complex.  They gave us a one day notice about an inspection and I'm pretty sure they were developers looking to buy the place, gut it, and turn it into condos.  That's been happening a lot in the Southside area recently, I can off hand think of about 7 or 8 places that its happening and I'm sure that's not all of them.  I'm not too thrilled with that, because that means I'll have to start looking for a new apartment.  I might just move cities if that's the case, nothing like starting over new somewhere better   Of course I don't know where I'd move.  But at this point its starting to sound fun.  So we'll see.  Anyway, my laptop finally bit the dust, though I'm still trying my best to get it working again.  I think it may be a lost cause.  Anyway, have a good one folks.
