  1. Actually, at first I was with Joel. But that changed because of his self-pity scene. Believe me, I hear those kind of words all the time. Maybe I just became immune to them that's why I have less sympathy for Joel. It's true people can speak hurtful words but most of those are because of ignorance. They just need a chance. That's my take on it, anyway. Joel seemed to think that to be popular everyone has to love him. Nobody is that loved.

  2. I just read the story (obviously) and I think that (although I may be alone in this opinion) Nick is the better character here. Who hadn't heard any of the things Joel had heard? Did he expect a red carpet to prove his popularity? :icon10: I don't like self-pity that much, but I'm glad that Nick is a good best friend.

    Anyway, nice job. :)

  3. Hey! Great story.

    Thing is, I think Jason's too okay with being in the past. Thinking back, Michael J. Fox (can't remember the character's name) didn't act that worried when he time-traveled in Back to the Future, but he had the benefit of knowing he'd be there. I expected Jason to be more worried. ( I can't think of a more fitting word)

    BTW, light years measure distance not time. I read somewhere that Jason said he's light years away from where he came from. But I guess it's ok because he's not into science but into theatre.

    Looking forward to chapter 5.

  4. A woman and her son were taking a cab in New York City. It was raining and hookers were under the awnings.

    "Mom," said the little boy, "What are all those women doing?"

    "They're waiting for their husbands to get off work," she replied.

    The cabbie turned around and said, "Geez, lady, why don't you just tell him the truth? They're hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money."

    The little boy's eyes got wide and he said, "Is that true, Mom?"

    His mother, glaring at the cabbie answered in the affirmative.

    After a few minutes, the kid asked, "Mom, what happens to the babies those women have?"

    "Most of them become cab drivers," she said.

  5. Fresh from her shower, a woman stood in front of the mirror, complaining to her husband that her breasts were too small.

    Instead of characteristically replying to her it was not so, her husband uncharacteristically came up with a suggestion.

    "If you want your breasts to grow, then, everyday, take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds."

    Willing to try anything, the wife fetched a piece of toilet paper and stood in front of the mirror, rubbing it between her breasts.

    "How long will this take?" she asked.

    "They will grow larger over the a period of years," he replied.

    The wife stopped. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts everyday will make my breasts larger over the years?"

    Without missing a beat, the husband said, "Worked for your butt, didn't it?"

    He lives, and with a great deal of therapy, may even walk again.

  6. Well, nothing ruins sex more than saying the wrong name. Alex confused me. I thought he knew that Delos has feelings for him, but he was still puzzled as to why Delos got upset after their day in the park.

    After this chapter, though, I got the impression that Nicky wouldn't make an appearance in this story, that this would be about Alex and Delos. But a line ("Now why on earth would you come to that conclusion, Alex?") from Chapter One wouldn't allow me to continue thinking that way. Plus, Wibby's mentioned going to UK recently.

    I couldn't help but feel pity for Delos. That's got to hurt.

    P.S. This is a copy of my email to the Raccoon. I was just too lazy to make an original post.:w00t:

    Edit: OOPS! Wrong thread.

  7. LOL. Wow. Just saw this today. Reminded me when I was still little and I thought I saw a ghost outside my window. I yelled for my Dad and asked him to sleep with me. I told him in Tagalog, "Tabi?" Which was short for "sleep beside me" or something like that in English. My dad thought I said "kape" which is coffee. He went out of my room and when he came back he had a cup of coffee with him. LOL. He drank it then climbed in bed with me.

  8. Although, I have nothing to add here (I rarely do), I must say that this thread is really helpful. Thanks, Graeme, for starting this one. It certainly got me to thinking of unique ways to start a story, though as Jason quoted, there is nothing new to write about. I figure that's gotta be the best challenge a writer faces. Finding something new to write.

  9. I really don't have anything to add to the discussion. I just want to congratulate David on a creatively written piece. If I'm not mistaken, it's called an allegory (correct me please if I'm wrong). I really know nothing about writing. Congrats again! Hope to see more chapters. Hehe
