I had an awesome time the past couple of days with my mate. Tuesday (the day before my birthday) we got some housewarming gifts for my mom (she just moved in her new place a couple of weeks ago), got lost in D.C., had dinner at the Melting Pot (a slightly expensive fondue place - meal for two was about $110), got home at about midnight, had some awesome sex (we've had a two week dry spell because he was with family and I couldn't afford to pay my way) and collapsed asleep.

In the morning, we woke up and had even more amazing sex, then headed out to Kings Dominion (a theme park in central [?] Virginia) for most of the day. Got to ride in the front seat of the roller coasters (we were determined to get front row every time no matter how long the wait), and later enjoyed the water attractions... though that got cut short when it started raining... we weren't too worried until we went back to get our money, and they were closing the park because the Weather Service announced that there was a tornado possibly heading toward the park. It was a huge thunderstorm, I wish I had gotten pictures (the clouds were black and the lightning was incredible!), eventually he and I got out of there, sopping wet and scared as hell but very excited too. So we got out and eventually got to IHOP for dinner at almost ten at night, if not past that, even though the sign said they close at ten. By the way I recommend the banana macadamia pancakes! We left around 11, got back to my place at about 11:25 and crashed around a quarter after 12 or so. He stayed the night because he didn't want to wake his folks up coming in at almost 1 AM, so he got up and left this morning at 5:30.

In a couple of weeks, we're going to Salisbury and Ocean City ^^ I saved the rest of my birthday money for that :D
