Sunny Days... chasing the clouds away...

I hung out over the weekend at Alan's place for his birthday get-together. 9 people were there; a few I knew, a few I didn't know. Several of them go to Western (sadly, one of them won't be returning--he's off to bigger and better things) It was very fun, during the parts when I wasn't rolling in pain because of that stupid headache.... rargh. But I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I loved it! Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Danny Elfman are as genius and talented as ever. It was a fun flick. We also ate food, played Bocci Ball (I like to call it "Curling meets Lawn Bowling"), and those who were not in pain watched Eddie Izzard. I also got to spend time with just Alan, which was very nice. He says the next visit between us will not be put off for 4 weeks again. In fact, we both came up with a visit in two weeks time. We think alike alot. It's why we are convinced we are twins.

He also bought me Chocolat as a late 6 month present (I bought him a stressball for my late present.) Johnny Depp + chocolate... this is heaven, folks. I got so in the mood for some good chocolate after watching it that I made a chocolate cake. MMMmmm.

I've been doing alright. I feel sad when I think about Alan's party, because due to my persistent and horrible headache, I spent most of the time upstairs trying to get a little bit of sleep to make it go away... and it never worked, and I felt like I was hardly there... but I have to be grateful for the things I did have. I had Alan, for the first time in 4 weeks. That's the longest I've gone without him so far. My suffering may not be much compared to many others, but in my history, it's a significant amount. I hope next time will bring us both much happiness once again.
