I am in such a good mood. Riley missed drag night and the second to final episode of the OC, both of which are very important to him, to see me. We snuggled on the couch with Taco House bean and cheese burritos and watched a movie, and the whole encounter was enough to make me cry. It’s been so long since I’ve been with any of Pard that I don’t remember what it’s like to just snuggle on the couch with a bunch of friends and have that be okay. Sure, Tyler and Rue will sit on the couch but it’s always really strange if we’re really close in a lump. Everyone tells me that our group was strange, that the contact was a little more than most people would find comfortable. But I have missed it. Mid conversation he just picked at my hair and was running it through his fingers and almost immediately put me to sleep.

Thank you, Riley, last night was so much fun.

This morning before work Kelly stopped by to say hello and we talked for a bit outside since she was already in town. It also made my day.

And pretty soon I will see Cole, Ben, and Meryn.

It looks like Eric and I will meet our goal for RPGateway/GWing merger launch. And as I sit here, working on a new project at work, writing in an RPG, listening to amazing music, I look out the window: telephone poles with wires glistening in the light, steady like the frozen masts of ships.

But I smile because nothing can stop my ship from sailing.
