One Last Time

So last night Andrew and I were laying in bed, and we wanted to make love one last time before he left.

I went and cleaned and everything, but then checked to make sure it was all good. Damn Cosby Kids didn’t want to go to the pool. Fuckers.

So we just made out and stuff. It was really good to get to do at least that much one last time.

I’m really really going to miss him so much. I put all the pictures on my computer and was doing a quick slide show so that he could see them all, and I just kept crying so much. I held them back mostly, but all the pictures are so cute, and so wonderful. They remind me of what a great guy he is, and was.

I’m so sad to see him going, and it sucks so much that he’s leaving. I have a feeling that Thursday morning I’ll be sitting in my office crying for a while. Hopefully Ramsey won’t be there, so I don’t have to kick him out of my office.

Anyways, my battery is dying, so I’ll have to go.

A Day In New York

Well yesterday was very fun. We spent the day in New York City. So much excitement there.

Though it really wasn’t at all what I was expecting. WE got up about 8 and got ready and drove into the city with Sue and John, got there about 10ish and went to Sue’s office. That was fairly interesting. After that we walked out of the office and towards Central Park. Sue showed us where to go and we headed into the park. That was really cool. I was very amazed at how there could be such a huge park in the middle of such a big city!

I was also very amazed at how many people there were in the park running and such. Very interesting. We headed towards the Central Park Zoo and had a good time there it wasn’t as big as I thought it would be, but it had all the major animals that make a zoo, so I guess it counts. So that was fun.

After the zoo we headed back into the park and found this REALLY cool area, where we both declared it would be a great place to hold a wedding. It was so pretty! We sat there and had a hot dog and pop. After that we headed back towards Central Park West and 77th to the Museum of Natural History. We got there and the line was REALLY long. So we stood in it and there was this Indian woman that kept staring at us. Very annoying. We finally got through the line, it cost me only $9 to get in, so that wasn’t too bad.. $3 less then normal admission.

We got in there and walked around forever! It was really really cool, but again, I wasn’t in the mood to sit and read everything. Museums that big need to be a two or three day thing. I really do think so. Again, it was a really cool museum, but about half way through my feet really stated to hurt, so I sat down for a bit. After that they felt better, but we just breezed through the rest of the place. Good times though.

Headed out of there about 3:30 and towards 5th (back through the park again) and then took 5th from 77th down to about 42nd. We stopped in all the crazy expensive shops. It’s so insane that in some of them it’s like $200 or $300 for a fucking t-shirt. Very annoying. And some of the suits were like $1800, and all they were were plain black two button suits. Crazyness. And of course everyone in the stores was UBER bitchy. It’s like, HELLO, why would anyone shop here, people are far too bitchy.

Kept walking and we ran into these people that we’re like, What are you guys following us it was very weird because we had no idea who they were and they were just like randomly talking too us. They claimed to have seen us in the museum and the zoo, then again where we were. Very scary. We crossed the street to avoid them.

The Gap store was closed, the only store that we could afford and it was closed, How sad is that! Grrr.

Anyways, kept walking to 42nd and then took that down to 7th, where times square is. That was really cool to see, I took a panoramic picture of it and hopefully it’ll turn out well.

We shopped a bit more after that, and then headed down 7th where there was this HUGE street fair. Very cool times. We were a bit pressed for time by then, so we didn’t hang out there too much. After that we kinda headed over to 8th and walked down it a bit, Found more porn stores in like a 2 block area then we have in all of Iowa. Very insane! But since we didn’t have time we didn’t go into any of them, very sad!

Once we found 33rd street we looked for the train station, because it was about 6:30 by then. Found what I thought was it, but since it didn’t say Penn Station on it, we didn’t know if that was right, so we walked across the street to Macy’s and asked. It was indeed Penn Station, so we walked down there and couldn’t figure out the trains, so we had to ask this crazy woman. She was very helpful though and we figured it all out.

The little display that had the info on it as to where our train was coming it at (Tracks 1-12, but who knew which track it would be on) didn’t have the track number on it, at about 6:50 it FINALLY got the number on it and everyone that was standing around stated RUNNING like mad men to the train. So Andrew and I were like, we better run too. So we ran through all the people and got to the door for track 12, and found out that all those people were actually running to somewhere else (I’m guessing track 13-21 since they were in the same area). So we got on the train and just picked the first door that we came too, went in and sat down.

My god was that a BAD idea. It was so fucking hot in there, and since we had never been on these trains before we had no idea if it was supposed to have been that hot or not. So we sat there for a while and everyone that came in was like, OMG, it’s HOT

Eventually someone said that it was cooler in the other cars, so we went and sat in the one behind us.

It was very scary sitting on that train though tell it left the station because we had no idea if we were actually on the right train or not. But once the train stated moving they said that it was going to the place that we needed to go to. So that’s good.

The train ride was all right. I tried to sleep, but really couldn’t.

Got home and it was late, we laid around in bed for a bit, then went down and got cheesecake, then came back upstairs and Andrew gave me a message. That was VERY nice 😉

Today we didn’t get out of bed tell like 11, and haven’t done much since. His grandma came over and she was funny. But she didn’t stay long.

Anyways, I’m out, Laters all!

The TurnPike

So yesterday was tons of fun. Though I did get annoyed a few times.

We got up fairly late, compared to what we normally do. It was 9:30. We have been sleeping in everyday since we got here. This can’t be good for my sleeping habits, I wanted to start getting up earlier then I had been, not later! Lol.

Anyways, we got up, got ready and waited around for Erin to get here,

After a bit, Andrew was like, I need to go clean my eyebrow and as soon as he got up stairs, the doorbell rang, and the phone started ringing, so I went and opened the door and assumed that it was Erin. She looked pretty cool, and I introduced myself to her, and such. Then showed her into the living room where Andrew was on the phone.

They hugged and made crazy noises. After that we were off. First went to the mall here, that was nice, and it was pretty cool. This mall is really nice I think. At least compared to the ones we have in DM. We were there for a while and ate lunch there, then headed off to his old school.

That was fairly scary. The school it self seemed pretty run down, at least comparitivly to North Polk. We went in, after taking a pic of Andrew outside, and stated walking down the hall.

We passed the principal’s office and saw that someone was in there, so just hurried on by and kept walking past, We were about half way down the second hall way when we hear this voice from behind us,

Can I help you??
Hi sister Cathleen, we’re just looking around
I can’t allow that
Alright
You need to leave
This is Andrew Mcgee, do you remember him
Oh, hi, . Where are you going to school?
Chapman, in Cali
Well I’m going to have to ask you to leave

She was an uber bitch! I thought religious people were supposed to be more friendly then that.

After that we went back to Erin’s house and got her change then went off to this store, where they have a machine that counts your change for you! This is insanity!

After that back to Erin’s house where we sat around for like an hour waiting for her to get ready/dressed. It was fairly amusing there. Her mom is crazy!

From there it was off to Joe’s house which is in bum-fuck-egypt.

Taking the turnpike was much like driving a busy interstate in Iowa. It really wasn’t that bad after all. Though Erin had never drivin it before and was freaking out. I really wanted to just scream at her and say, Shut up and just calm down, Her constant, OMG, OMG, etc was very annoying. We were on there for about 30 miles or so. Not too bad. If I had known she was going to freak out so much I would have drivin.

After we got off there we had to get onto 68 South. We were driving along and the way we needed to go was on the left. Well we both say that, after we realize it, but it was pushing it. Though she could have easily made it across the lanes to get there.

So we miss the turn for it and she keeps going on the road that we’re on, it was like university or something, not a really busy highway or anything. But Andrew and I were like, just turn left into a business drive and turn around. Well she refused to do that because you Can’t cross a highway. I was very annoyed at that was well because it wasn’t that bad of a highway,

Anyways,. After we FINALLY got turned around we were driving along on and South 68 just randomly ENDS in Fort Dix, Say that ten times fast!

So we go in there and Andrew and I are like, Just ask the guy for directions, but she didn’t do that, she was like, So you need to see and ID and the guy was like, What’s your business

So we drive and drive and eventually get to the right place, then realize we’re on the road we need to be on, so we turn around, but instead of going the way that I said to go, she’s like No we need to go the other way. But we did end up having to go the way that I said we did.

We eventually find the place, after FINALLY pulling over and calling for directions. Though we only had to go like 2 more blocks down the street.

After that he took over driving which was both a relief and also a bit more frustrating because he drove like a crazy mad man!

We finally got to Sea Side about 6ish and walked around. It was so much fun there, we ate Zeppoles, and pizza and ice cream and I got Salt Water Taffy, and it was so much fun!

There were tons of neat little shops along the boardwalk, and they were having fireworks and we just hung out all night. About 8:30 or so we finally went down on the beach and sat on a blanket and watched the fireworks and made out. It was so cute!

And I do have to say that Andrew and I were the cutest gay couple on the whole beach! Lol.

Once the fireworks were over Andrew and I went for a walk along the beach. It was so cute! We held hands and walked along the shore line and just talked and listened to the waves breaking. So uber cute!

We stood there on the beach talking about how much we’re going to miss each other, and I stated to cry. But held it back. After a bit we went back to the blanket and got our stuff and then went off. We shopped a bit more and then headed out, Even more drama on the ride home. Though Andrew and I slept most of the way. They got lost coming back and it took us like twice as long to get home from the beach as it did to get there. Very annoying. We got home shortly after 1AM.

Once we got home we went right to bed because we were both very tired,.

This morning for some reason about 5:30 or so Sue came into our room and turned on the light and let the dogs in and then yelled at them, It’s like, HELLO, people SLEEPING! We weren’t loud when we came in last night, so why are you being loud this morning!

We finally got up about 9:30 or so, Andrew sat on the bed playing video games and I slept for a bit longer because I was really tired.

I don’t know why, but this whole week I’ve been really tired all week this week. I mean like every day I’ve just been like I’m so tired

Whatever.. Today we were supposed to go over to Andrew’s Dad’s house and spend the day with Mary and the boys, and then go out with his dad after he got off work. Though apparently Mary has a play date, and can’t cancel or something? Who knows. So we’re sitting here all day waiting for his dad to get off work so that we can go with him. I think the plan is to go mini-golfing.

I’m still in awe that I’m in New Jersey.. Very crazy,.

Laters all!

Ok, well I don?t have TOO too much to privately update about, but I promised Chris one, so here goes.

The past few days have been upsetting, sad, and happy all at once. I was very upset w/ the fights that we kept having. I really didn?t think they were necessary in most cases. And it just made me sad that we had to fight right before we were leaving. We went 3 months with no fights, and then suddenly we are fighting seemingly non stop. I know it wasn?t really non stop , but I was really stressed and it felt that way. However, I am glad that we have figured everything out and we are no longer fighting and everything is good between us. I think it was just the stressfullness on both of our parts, and then any little thing would set us off and then we?d fight. But it?s ok now.

Last night was really hard for me. We were laying together in bed, and I was telling Chris how scared I was to do all my orientation stuff. Eventually he started crying, and it broke my heart. Because he started really crying, and letting it all out. I just held him and told him everything would be ok and that I was here to hold him. I didn?t know what to do, I felt so helpless right then, I just wanted to make everything better for him. I started crying too. I?m halfway crying now. This is emotionally harder than I thought it would be. Last night was proof of that. I?ve never seen someone cry so hard for me. It makes me realize how lucky I am. I doubt a guy will ever cry like that for me again.

I don?t want to go, I just want to stay in Iowa, all this change is too much for me. I?m scared, I?m upset, I?m sad all the time, I don?t know what I?m gonna do in Cali. Hopefully I?m just getting lots of pre school jitters and everything will be fine. But it might not be.

Anyways?. Today was a really good day with Chris. There was lots of stress in the beginning with the post office and stuff, but then the plane ride was so fun. I thought we were just the 2 cutest little gay boys in the world, sitting on that plane, laughing and holding hands, tickling, and talking. We looked at Sky Mall and talked, and just generally had a great time. Eventually he left me ?go to sleep? but I really didn?t, I kept opening my eyes and just talking to him more. We laughed and had such a good time, and took cute pics of ourselves. Very cute.

I am gonna miss my Topher insanely after next week. It seems so weird that in a week I will be in California, away from everybody that I know. It?s very hard to think about. In between all my wanting to be sad and crying, I will have to be *extra* happy and cheerful so that I make friends. I just want to skip all of orientation and sit in my room and cry. Maybe I will.

Especially having to say good bye to Chris on Tuesday night instead of Wednesday morning. I don?t want to, but I feel it will make the goodbye easier. Well??. Nothing could really make that goodbye easier. It is very hard to say goodbye to someone who makes me feel the way he does, and to someone who really loves me, and to someone who thinks I?m sexy and sweet and smart. What if I never find that again? What if I don?t want to?

I feel weird being here, more on that later maybe. I just feel so ?? well it?s almost ashamed ? of everything. I just want to go to Cali and start my new life, away from my family?.. But I wish it was with my Topher.

The Day We Leave

Well here we are sitting in the airport. It’s 2:00 and our flight doesn’t board tell 3:30. I told my mom we didn’t need to be here this early, but she insisted on getting here early.

We did however get the woman to change our seats so we get to sit next to each other now, so that s really good. I’m excited for that. I would have been uber pissed if we hadn’t gottn the chance to sit next to each other on the flight.

I’m very excited for all of this, though very scared all at the same time. This’ll be the last time we have in DM tell at least December. Maybe longer.

The last couple days though have been really good. Though a bit frustrating.

Saturday he got home and we had a bit of a fight and a short bit of annoyance with each other. Though we got over it, and I appoligized and so did he.

After that was over we went out with Ginny to the mall and had a good time there, I found the pair of glasses that I want. I’m very happy with them. I will have to get get them though once I get back because the only sale they had going on was a sucky ass sale. You saved $165 when you buy TWO pairs of glasses, which I really don’t want.

Once we were done with that we drove downtown and went to Centro. Very good place. I had called earlied to get reservations, but they said they didn’t have any, so I was thinking that we’d have to sit in the bar. Ended up not having to, so that was good. Though I think the service would have been faster in the bar, so we would have actually made it to my plans.

The food was good, and we had a good talk. After that it was too late to get to where I wanted to go, so we went across the street to a parking garage and climbed to the top (All ten floors!!) And stood up there and watched the sun set. Which wasn’t cooperating with me, because it was cloudy. Affter that we drove to Camp Dodge and sat on the tanks overlooking the city. From there back to Saylorville where I was hoping that the moon would be high enough to light up the lake, but it wasn’t so we just sat there for a little bit then went back to my house and hot tubbed. That was nice, though I kept nearly bereaking out in tears.

Once we were done with that it was off to his house to get to bed. Which we did quickly.

Sunday, was a LONG ass day, We got up really early and went over to beak’s. Met up with them and went off to the fair.

That was Really fun, though iit was such a LONG day. Beak and Leper boy would NOT STOP EATING! Blarg BLARG!

We saw tons of good stuff, and it was very sad.
After the fiar we went back to Beak’s, showered, and then off to the drag show. It was pretty good and Jackson saved the show a couple times. Not the best, but still a really good show!

You could tell one time when the DJ played the wrong song for Jackson, he got REALLY mad and gave hima death stare! It was funny shit.

Once that was over we broke and went back to Andrew’s place, When we left I had turned on the over head lights in the living room to really low. I was hoping that we could come home and just lay on the couch, with the really dim lights and just talk for a bit. But we got home and there was far too much to do, so we just got it all done, and crazyness and went to bed.

I had a major breakdown. I felt really stupid for doing it. Mostly because I felt like Adam crying that much. I know that Angel was very annoyed when he cried when she was leaving. And I feel very stupid about crying so much now. Especially since no one else has cried yet either, and he doesn’t seem to be taking it near as hard as I am. Lol. Just like beak said,.

Ok, so I lied in that last paragraph. Beak cried too. It was so cute and sweet of her.

Anyways, today has been uber hectic. We went to the post office, they rejected us, we had to re-pack, and go back. Went to his school got his yearbook, I went home got my mom, made us lunch, etc.

Now here we are at the airport. The security was very confusing, since I haven’t flown in like 3 years or so. Eh, whatever.

Anyways, the point is that I can’t imagine saying goodbye today. I would not have been able to handle it.

Whatever, there’s a lot more that I should update about, but I just don’t feel like it right now.

Laters all!
