Well, since *somebody* mentioned on friday that he wished everyone a great
weekend, and since I did, I figured this is worth sharing ...

This was a rather strange weekend, in some ways ... it started on friday
evening when I went on a hiking trip to go up a local mountain ... we
started at 7PM, and got to sleep at about 4AM, woke up at 8AM and started
hiking up, but things didn't work very well (drinking a diet coke while in
the middle of exertion can really cause nasty things ... trust me, I know
this.  Now) ... so we came back on saturday rather than on sunday ... 

This is where things got a *bit* strange ... I'd been talking with a friend
of mine who was feeling rather depressed because the person (actually, the
man) he felt he wanted to spend the rest of his life with basically told him
that their relationship had to be open for him to be happy ... whole can of
worms there for various reasons, but the offshoot of this was this lovely
little email message where this friend asked me how I felt about him having
sex with my SO ...

OK ... this was, umm, weird ... took me a few hours (and talking to this
friend) to figure stuff out (things ended up much better) ... then yesterday
was my 21st birthday (Anyone want to hug me? *hint*) ... ended up going with
my SO to this really cool (and small) Indian restaurant, after which I got
my birthday gifts ... a cool little teddybear wearing leatherstuff and a
really nice collar (little inner debate there whether to ask for a key) ...
night ended with some serious cuddling, hoping my straight roommate doesn't
come home *right at this point* :).

Ah ... but monday ... 

Monday was pretty much as good as it can get, I think ... 

Finally got to meet Mike Lloyd (for the people who are not intimately
interested in my life story and haven't been following it (read: all of you)
Mike was the one person who was an incredible help during the two weeks
that I went through from being straight to being bi ... I owe him a lot ...
one of the three net.people who I owe *A LOT* to ... other two being the
person who made me ask myself why I was straight (thereby starting the
aforementioned two weeks) and the person who told me what BDSM was all about
... thereby starting a strong interest in it) ... 

Anyway, it was great meeting him ... *really* nice guy ... pleasure to talk
to ... (fun to look at also :).  Also met two friends of his (Hi Muffy! Hi
Dan!) ... Mike seems to gather very nice people around him (with me as the
possible exception) ... Muffy and Dan were no exception ... both were a
pleasure to talk with (not that I got to talk much with Dan ... )

Well, I'm rambling.

Synopsis: Great weekend, great birthday (great gift :) ), great SO, great
net.friend, great friends of net.friend.

Life's good.
