hot in town, no a.c. dog-sitting for erick and d tonight. having another date with kendra. cooking for her this time. need to pick up a couple of odds and ends still. then prep dinner and bathe. mel was down last night. what a mind fucker, wish she'd leave me alone sometimes. after she canned my ass and put me through a swirling shitstorm for all those months. can't understand why she feels the need to stay in contact all the time. i want her to be happy, and care about her and all that shit, but i'm happier when she leaves me alone. if she weren't with that douche-bag it might be another story, but i want nothing to do with their train-wreck in the making. it's fucked up, but what're you gonna' do? anyway, all in all things are good. meeting quite a few new people, and reconnecting with old friends lately. off to prepare for my lady caller, now. hope it goes well, she seems cool as hell (even taking into account the complicating factors).
