Things that make an update.

Boat trip cancelled…Hair smells like smoke…Critters down the road…Mum at work…Boy gone already (though that means the pest he brought with him is gone as well).

Bloody hell…Well, as I was up way too late last night (or should we say into the way too early hours of the morning), & there was one person too many in the vicinity, & I don’t think Todd was still too keen on the idea of going down a river [Scaredy Cat!], the boat ride was cancelled. Mum & I are suppose to try for this Saturday, since the Critters will be gone. Hopefully it works. What really sucks…It’s a great day for it today.

Todd called last night, he and his friend Victor were bored and wanted something to do that wasn’t hanging out in Gaylord. So they came over here. Really could of lived without the additional pest…I’m sure he’s a nice guy, or what not…I just really don’t care for him…Especially drunk beyond drunk him. *can really only tolerate one drunk person*

We made a bonfire…& when I say we, I mean me. *laughs* Todd did gather some wood a couple times, brought a couple really good pieces over the one time…But I built the fire (again without aid of flammable liquid…Which is why I did it, as males seem incapable of building one without *rolls eyes*), & I gathered most of the wood that we burnt. Which also entailed me, a lantern, and going into the woods after dark (& after hearing the coyote’s howling & yipping in full force at one point).

I know nothing happened…Which it’s a damn good thing nothing did, as I really don’t want to test out that bottomless pit is a good place to toss a body theory, or have to deal with cops either one…Anyway…Victor had disappeared into the house, and Todd & I decided it was probably a good idea to go looking for him. I was NOT impressed as to where I found him. He was passed out, head resting on Sonja’s bed, of which Sonja was in. *grits teeth-growls-glares* I told Todd to get him out of there or I was going to get the gun.

Todd was…I couldn’t ask for anything more in that situation. He was determined to make sure nothing had happened. He laid into Victor majorly…Told him he would kill him with his bare hands. He kept after him for quite a while, trying to get a reasonable explanation, just to make sure. He was quite tenacious. Even had Victor in tears at one point. *hugs Todd tightly*

Back to things on a lighter note…At one point last night Todd told me the fire was pretty, and that he had me to thank for it. *smiles*

Not so light note…He keeps talking about going somewhere…Anywhere…Mainly, he doesn’t want to be at B.C.P. forever, and making $9.00 an hour hardly pays for stuff. [*yells: Stay out of the bar!* Which he’s said he’s going to do…We’ll see.] Crystal’s fiancé had told him he can get a job paying $22.00 an hour in the U.P. In between talking about that and a few other things, said something along the lines of “You wouldn’t be willing to move to the U.P.”

He also mentioned going to Florida again…I think he’s just got that whole ‘stuck in a rut’, ‘need to find something fun/enjoyable’, with a trace of wanderlust thrown in for good measure.

He also talked about taking a year off, going off into the woods, and living off the land. Still in Michigan though…Winter in Michigan! Boy is crazy, but he was adamant about the thought…Said he could get his mom to record it, and put it on YouTube.

He also talked about starting a band…Actually, finally, got to hear the boy play guitar! He says he does better sober, as he forgets parts while drinking. I recognized Kryptonite immediately. He also played bits & pieces from Stairway to Heaven, Knocking on Heaven’s Door, something by the Smashing Pumpkins, some other stuff that I know I should know, or at least recognized as being something I’ve heard…As well as some of his own tossed out there for good measure.

I got a bit chastised for spending so much time on the computer, and not doing the things that I’m suppose to be wanting to do…Meaning I should be writing &/or drawing, instead of playing games at Neopets all bloody day long. [I did draw a picture this morning…Mainly because Victor was on my futon, and I didn’t want to get close enough to get my laptop out from it’s drawer.]

Todd also said something about coming up with a mock menu, and having me ‘order’ from it, and he would cook me whatever, and I could tell him if it was good enough for him to have his own place. He’s mentioned that before…His mom and sister have both told him he could make a living out of cooking.

Anyway…*wonders how many people are sick of hearing about Todd yet* *laughs*

Apparently Arte quit B.C.P. yesterday. That place is loosing people left and right. Not sure what that is going to do for Todd’s days off. He already ended up working his Monday this week, and that was before.

Despite the fact that I don’t know how/why, or even understand it myself…I do love Todd. There are these moments, when he does something, says something, and the feeling I get just confirms it even more. [Like last night when he was being protective of Sonja & making she was okay. & of course the music thing.] I know he’s not perfect…Far from it I should say. I know he drinks WAY too much, which he knows too…& that he needs to do something about it…He’s just not ready to, and it’s not something you can push someone to do before they are ready…But…He means so much to me.

Well…Should probably end this up…Nearly two pages of Todd, Todd, Todd. *laughs* J

Oh, and for the record…She who can not spell managed to spell ‘tenacious’ right without spell-check telling me how too. *grins* *laughs*
