Nothing like being back in Seattle, after a few very much needed months away. No reason to rehash old nightmares or open those old wounds, I didn't come back to chase old ghosts. I came back because I shouldn't have been chased away anyway. Going back to LA did me good, I recharged my batteries and got my head straight again. But now I'm back, got the house almost settled in again (lucky I didn't empty it out when I left), and the Seattle branch of Wild Cherry is just as successful as when I left. Maybe the people i meet this time around will be a lot better for me. We'll see how it goes.

House is finally settled in, thank God. Quick enough to move out of it, but moving back in and putting it back together was nerve wracking. I can go to sleep at night knowing everything is back as it should be. Being back in the shop is going good, few people were hired in while I was gone but for the most part my gang is back together again. Met some awesome people already, and this time around things are going smoother. Guess I need to find Mars, say hi, finish this pack thing.

I guess this warrants a journal entry, or at least something to give me a laugh about later on. Got to do Rachel's tattoo last night, which came out amazing. Got to meet Alex and his wife, which was awesome, and they were both cool people, so we talked about their tattoo ideas that they wanted. They liked the rough drafts so I've gotta get the transfers ready by Saturday. But then we had a customer come in that just defied all sense of logic and reason, and I could tell Alex was a pretty straight up guy but she even ruffled his feathers so to speak. It's rare that I get a customer I don't know how to respond to but that baffled even me. I still don't even know what to think about it.

It has definitely been an eventful week, I think. Glad to have a few minutes to sit down and write this, I haven't overworked myself, but kept myself busy enough that I'm glad I'm taking a day off. Pretty excite though, Alex loved his tattoo and we got a pic for the customer wall to put up, right next to the celebs of course. And his wife Meghan only got her outline done but she was thrilled with it too. That's the point of what I do, making a good enough product to make people happy. But also last night I got a voicemail from Shay, telling me the owners of the Rendezvous wanted to hire me. She went all out for me, I think, so I owe her one. Looking forward to seeing how this goes, I think I'll do all right though. The shop is helping me meet a lot of new people and hopefully the new job will too. Here's to hoping... *tips imaginary glass for a toast*

Planning a party is kinda exciting, really. Never felt like having one when I was here before, but now it just sounds like a good idea. Styx helped me come up with a Why Not party. Just for the hell of it, no reason other than just to get people together to have fun. Hopefully it all works out, I've met some awesome people this time around and the house is big enough that we'll have room to move around. Work is going good too, shop's running smoothly. And hopefully that new friend of mine will be able to come too, we'll see how that goes. I'm happy though, all around, so that's all I could ask for.

Vacation is nice, especially when it's well needed. But being back in my home was needed too, though I wasn't running away from Seattle this time. Damn those nightmares for creeping back up on me, had to see that face again. But it's over and done with now, no more nightmares and the time away helped clear my head. Least the business was left in good hands and I'll get to see familiar faces when I get back to work, and play. Home sweet home, that's all I can say.

I can write now and say that I am truly enjoying Seattle once again. Life has slowed down to a tolerable pace, and since I'm taking less hours at the shop, it freed me up to get a side job that I think I am going to love. Desk girl at Alex's studio, or would I be declared an assistant? Pretty much a jack of all trades but it's an atmosphere that I am very comfortable in. And Alex is a good friend so it's a perfect fit. Not to mention the party coming up, since I had to cancel before...inviting some good friends, Alex and the band are going to play some music, and let everyone just chill out. Hope everyone can come, looking forward to it. I'm just glad things are working out.

Just a quick entry, even though I'm not that busy right now. Day of the party! But i'm not anxious, it's not like it's a big fancy affair with waiters and elegant decorations. Just a gathering of some awesome friends, some good food and drink and Alex and the band are gonna play some awesome music. Wait, did I just use awesome a couple times in one sentence? WTF! Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, just hanging out with little to no stress. Maybe i won't have to act like a teenager tonight, because i'm pacing myself as far as he is concerned. But damn, he did look good in a suit at Jake and Shay's wedding. He's coming though, so that's a good sign. I'm sure I'll have some kind of witty story to tell after it's over. Until then...

Things happen, right? Of course they do, and they happen for a reason. Too much has happened within the last month or so to dwell on it again, but if a person like me could reach a breaking point, I believe I did. But I think at least the nightmares are disappearing, and I don't have to think about him anymore. Not that the battle at the garage didn't put me back there with him mentally, but thanks to my friends, I don't have to settle for it anymore. At least I have my friends and even if I lost another person, I hope that in some way he will still be in my life. All I know now is that I need to focus, go back to work and get my mindset out of the gutter where it has been. Stop letting people ruin my life even just by memory alone.

Is this what it feels like to fall for someone? To care about somebody and not having to worry about them turning into some selfish prick? I'm really not sure, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have someone around to give a damn about. I almost started to think I wasn't worthy of that anymore. Logan was able to remind me even though he wasn't around all that long and I still appreciate him for that. But Axle just seemed to find his way into my life and work out a place there. It's been quick, I admit, and some of our times together have been a little...well, unscripted, but then again, whose life makes perfect sense? The age difference doesn't matter, and neither does the fact that he's a brother to my friend (well, not too much), but what matters is that I think I might have found a mate that will want to be here. I hope he stays, because he's making life good. Is he just a housemate or a friend anymore? It doesn't seem like that, and I know we need to know a lot more about each other, but I'm pretty sure now it is so much more than just a physical attraction. That part makes me want to shiver already, but more important is the fact that we bonded already and I care. Yeah, that's me admitting I care about someone. Feels like I want to know if he does, but for now, I don't have the guts to ask. Maybe after a little Patron...I'll let you know how that conversation turns out.

Now I write and I'm just...shocked. Or maybe stunned is more what I'm looking for. Yeah, waking up alone bummed me out but after what happened last night? I'm just worried that it's all gonna crash down again. Alex, Kaly and I were having a fun time in the shop talking (and frankly, making Alex cringe which was kinda fun), but then Axle showed up and all hell broke loose. I don't know what happened, if it was something I did, or something someone else did but it scared the shit out of me. He wanted to hurt me, I could feel it, and if Alex hadn't been there to make me see reason, either I would have gotten to Axle or he would have gotten to me. Did he mean it when he said he wanted to burn the shop down with me in it? He said he would get revenge and I prayed pretty damned hard that he didn't ever go that far. Now I'm just waiting, waiting to see if Alex might call me back and let me know if he's okay. No matter what happens, even if he doesn't come back, I hope he gets the help he needs.

It's a waiting game now, I do believe. Haven't heard anything yet about Axle but I have a feeling after that 'dream' I had, he's going to be okay. I don't know when I will get to see him, but I'll try and be patient. She assured me we would both be okay and I want to believe it was just a dream but then again, I know that it wasn't. Now is definitely not the time to worry about those insignificant people who try and intimidate me, their power is only as good as they say it is. Those little things are unimportant, the weight of this whole thing, I feel, has been lifted off of my shoulders.

#13 This is what happens when I feel creative at home and keep seeing a certain face. A person that I am anxious to see again because I need to know that he's okay. My birthday is Friday the 9th, that would make a nice present I think.

Dinner tonight, since party had to be rescheduled so friends would be able to come. Left the house decorated too. might not be as big of a party but hopefully we will still have fun. Had to get Axle's things together today, Alex took them to the condo. It sucks, and it hurts, but it had to be done. For me, and for him. I hope wherever he is that he's okay. Haven't talked to Jordan yet today or I would ask him if he felt like eating some good catered food with us tonight.

Back home and it feels damn good. Spending that time in New York helping out at my friend's shop did me good, and it gave me some time to think and I feel a hell of a lot better. Got a lot of work done, saw a lot of sights and just got to keep busy but sane at least. Had a great time but I was glad to come home, get my little Jericho back from his awesome puppy-sitter Alex, and just get settled in. Less stress, less baggage, it's going good right now.
