Happy Fathers Day!

Well, Happy Fathers Day, especially to you pops.
Today Mike came up to visit, and he spent pretty much all day with me. He woke me up from the couch where I slept last night (more details later in this blog), and promptly proceeded to poke me profusely.
I dunno, we caught up on each others' family news in only about ten minutes, and then, it was a big awkward stare for a bit, both of us having trouble finding the 'little things' to talk about. I'm sure both him and I aren't too great at simple bullshitting, but later on in the day, we did okay, and even got good at it.
Showed him some drawings I recently did, my YouTube page, talked about my own career goals...
Mike and I later went out for some food, then drove to the french community across the river from Fort Saskatchewan, Lamarouex or whatever it is, and toured along all the back roads for a bit. My employer had told me that this Sunday there was some races at the race track past this community, and that he had helped sponsor a car. Dad and I went to the tracks, and the only thing racing, was street bikes. Disappointing... Especially since we would have had to pay for tickets to watch them speed around for a bit. Screw that, I got my dad to book us out of there fast, and we did some other things.
We quickly stopped at home for a minute, where Kim and Sam were having a water fight. Kim sprayed me with the hose... >_>
Mike and I went to see his good friend Judy, where we inspected her apartment, and I offered some design tips, since she had a bunch of extra mirrors booting around that needed work done to them.
Had some chats and fun for a bit, then we went out for a drink at the Maple Tree, where the veryyoung and sexy waitress gave us EXCELLENT service. My dad of course was being sleazy, and basically acting like HIMSELF. [Rolls his eyes.]
I paid for the meal/outing, and gave her an excellent $12 tip.
Back at Judy's we talked about a bunch of stuff some more, and hung out on her porch. Before we left, she gave me a very sexy mens leather jacket that she doesn't need in her life anymore. Things like brand new! Looked good on me, especially since my shoulders are wide enough for it to sit on me properly.
After a few thank yous, we loaded up some mirrors that my dad is gonna work on for her into his car, and we took off to my house. He said his goodbyes, and took off.
I am exhausted! O_o

Judy said she'll talk to a lady named Donna, who works at the massage studio my other buddy is getting info for me from. If I can get some practice and training, I don't care, I would be their evening masseuss, as long as I get the job. It is something I want to do, can do, and could tolerate doing. Thanks Judy.
Judy now has me e-mail address, so she can send me news or updates as required.

The night before...
Stephanie came down for another visit, so I let her lay on my bed, and gave her a leg/foot rub again.
She literally passed out in my hands. She fell asleep on my bed... ~_~
With no room to sneak in beside her and sleep myself, I retreated upstairs, and slept on the couch.
Well, not right away...

Jamie and I got to a lot of talking. Mostly about her cosplays and a strange dream she had. We chatted about many things like that, about other people...
Tried getting her Paypal account to work, but for some reason, we can't figure out why it's not setting up properly. I offered for her to use mine, that is, if she wanted to pay me back for making her order and purchase for her. She said sure, and so, I ordered a big order of cosplay stuff for her. Came to just over $400. Ah well, if it makes her happy, and her pride remains intact... Told her she can pay me back in smaller payments. I'm not a jerk, so I don't expect her to make one huge lump sum payment.
It's really comforting to know that she'll still have me as a friend in her busy life. It really made my day. See, she gets in these moods, where she basically gives EVERYONE the silent treatment. During those periods, it makes you feel like she's shunning you from her life. Gah, and it drives me crazy!

I'm typing away right now, sitting in my new coat, chewin' on pumpkin seeds. My broken silk plant and pottery pot lays in a garbage bag beside me, broken today by a bad cat who jumped on my computer when I was away. Stupid thing...
Can't remember what else it was I wanted to blog about, so I'll add it later, if I remember. Later!
