Sitting around, waiting for boyfriend to show up. Was supposed to be drinking with friends, but Diva D went to the gay club with a guy, got sloppy drunk and probably won't be joining us. Guess I and the boyfriend will stay in tonight, instead; it seems like we do this a lot, but I don't mind. The weather is getting colder, and I want someone to cuddle.
