Since my last post, a lot has gone on, of course. I've been terrible about updating; been so busy and haven't really had the energy...
The weekend after I last posted, on Saturday, the 19th, Patrick rented a limo and Robert and he picked Shane and I up at Justin's house. We were also with two other people who went home after the first stop. We drove around, listened to music, oh, and drank. A lot... We went to Z109, but it had apparently been closed down. So we went to Grand Central, then Alibi, and then we went to the Male Room. I barely remember being at the Male Room at all. It was a blast though. I had such a great time. The only bad thing that happened was that I broke my digital camera... 
On Sunday I slept. On Monday, I felt sooo tired, when I came home from work, I slept some more. lol. On Thursday I went to Alibi on a date. 
I went out with a guy I had started talking to online. Meeting him in person, I realized that I had actually seen him out before and thought he was really cute, but was too shy to talk to him.
On Friday evening, Austin convinced me to come pick him up and take him out. I really didn't feel like going out, spending money, etc. Mostly I was just tired and lazy, didn't feel like leaving the house. So I went to pick him up. We had a drink at Grand Central, then drove to Alibi. Kevin called and said he was there while we were on our way. When we got there, he was nowhere to be seen, which was kind of strange. lol
After Alibi, we headed over to Tampa. I had called to see what Mark was up to and he said that he was at Baxter's. He met us at Cityside. Cityside was pretty dead. We were only there for a brief time. Robert was on his way home from a dance competition in Naples. We had talked about possibly hanging out when he got in.
Robert called around 3 to say that he was tired after all, and was just gonna go home, but that we'd have to hang out later on in the weekend. I said goodbye to Mark and his friend and took Austin home, then drove all the way back to my house and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning with missed calls from Robert and a text message saying he had something to tell me...
Though the text message didn't say that he had something bad to tell me, I assumed the worst. I went downstairs for some coffee before I called him. As I was pouring it, Shane walked in the door, home from work. I heard the door open and went out to the foyer, he asked me if I heard, and I said no. Justin had overdosed on prescription medicines, and Patrick found him on Saturday morning.
Shane and I had tickets to see Mary J. Blige that night, though we both felt horrible. I went to Justin's myspace to try to find Candace's daughter's page so I could get in contact with her. I tried to stay as busy as possible after I found out. I took Shane with me to the post office, and then we went over to Tampa really early before the concert, mostly just driving around, but we did stop at the Citrus Park Mall for a few moments.
The concert was amazing, though bittersweet, and pretty emotional. I think I'm gonna do a separate post about her though.
This week, I'm focusing on getting myself ready to go to Pennsylvania. I'm going to visit family. It's been over a year since I've been up. I'm also driving, which I'm not looking forward to. Tropical Storm Ernesto is moving north through Florida right now, and will probably leave lots of crappy weather for me to drive through... I can't wait to get a new car... At least the drive back will be in a new vehicle.
