  1. BTW, this chapter is 10,000 words long, so it ain't exactly pissin' in the dirt. At least it points towards the direction in which the story is about to move. (The story, not the, ah, piss.)

    I'm alive, but my allergy is still killing me. I'm on doctor #3, getting two shots a week, and surviving.

    It's great to hear both you and the story are doing well. :hehe:

    Rad :)

  2. IMHO, it's a "nurture" problem. There's one passage in the Bible that I have always believed in, and it says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." It's somewhere in the Book of Proverbs. If Brandon actually grew up as someone who does not think that he has to need a gun in order to deal with another guy liking him, but instead ask the counsel of a sensible adult, then this tragedy would not have happened.

    But it already had, and I really feel bad about it. If there's a way Brandon would be exiled instead, then I would propose that. (If his family would agree, of course.) But that's just unfair to the other boys who had been sentenced the same way before him.

    Everything boils down, for me, to each of us. It's just a matter of treating everyone right, being polite and all.

    Anyway, I'll stop now. That^^ seemed to be impossible to ask for in this world.

  3. I love this poem! It's one of those things us humans always think about, but never really say outloud. It strikes right to the core of me. Like this one song by John Mayer that says, "But I'll gladly go down to the flame if the flame's what it takes to remember my name." It's an everyday search for me. Which way? This poem has voiced it out so eloquently and beautifully. Thank you, Camy, for writing it. You're one hell of a poet.

  4. :lol: I love you, Des.

    Don't stop talking about the weather on anyone's account, as long as you keep posting those news stories with those hot sunburn victims. :hehe:

    Maybe everyone should be required to post a picture of a sunburnt American, Canadian, Briton, French, take your pick. :lol:

  5. A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened.

    "Well, it was like this," says the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around, noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it -- stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt! That's when I made the big mistake."

    "What did you do?" asks the doctor.

    "Well, I lifted the cow's tail and yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this looks like yours!' I don't remember much after that."

  6. Matt is definitely not a drama queen. That thought never entered my mind until I read these posts. Matt is just a worry wart, and a drama queen is much different than that. Matt just needs a little push. Or shove. Just as Kevin has already been pushing him all this time. I also think Matt has great ideals. I, too, would hesitate to enter into a relationship with a younger guy at that age. I think at that age (16), the age gap seems to be more obvious. Like a year is a decade. And a cross-grades relationship is something that is not heard of. And for it to be a gay relationship.... But when one is in the twenties, those things seem immaterial. I mean, what is a two-year difference at that time?

    And jealousy? I don't know. With the way Matt is, I see him letting Timothy get close to Kevin just to follow his principles.

    Rad :icon_tongue:

  7. A female teenager was taken to the Burns Unit on Thursday after suffering fluid loss because of severe burns to about 90 per cent of her body.

    This is awful! When I first read it, I cussed outloud. Then I looked around and hoped no one heard me. :icon_tongue: I live with Christians.

  8. Is there some other way out of here

    Other than driven by our own fear

    Maybe appeal, of those we hold dear

    Self reliance abandoned, that much is clear

    But am I leaving or running away

    By not moving from where I stay

    Faltering, each and every day

    No, there must be another way

    I must search out the reason why

    More so now that I feel the end is nigh
