Seen it. Read it. Waiting till wednesday.......

Chapterrrrrrrr 26! Why do I have the silly feeling the whole "Drama Queen/kick in the butt" discussion is going to be started again?

I can imagine what everybody says. It's dark, it's heavy. For me, it grabs me. Maybe a bit too much. That can only mean one thing; it is very good and well written! But I am thinking about the option to wait a few chapters, just for the ability to read on, to the more happier stuff. Nah, I can't do that. Too eager to know what will happen next. Thumbs up!

I've started it. Yes, I will never learn, Trab. Small spoiler about it;

Since today it is. And after this chapter, I really don't have a clue again where it will go. Well done, Cole!

So far for the topic-title. Silly me..... *Thinks about translating one of his stories into English and sending it to Trab*

Got somebody who can translate from Dutch to English? btw; where did you find that article?

Nice Uncle, nice move. Something like 'get even with the family after I'm gone'. I would like to say it out loud, especially to the sister-in-law. But, with respect for the uncle, probably wouldn't. If he has chosen to not tell, I wouldn't give it away. But, like the answer of Amy, still fight for his silent right. Dude, I am amazed reading this. I am playing with an idea in my head for a story somewhat similar to this. This gives me extra clues to finally start with it. Ehh... thanx!

And still working. That's the one.

Try to find the serie of Top Gear where they are testing an old Toyota Hi-Lux. "They say it can't be destroyed. Is that so?" Hilarious was the car they made out of washingmachine's. ("Many people say about a bad car that it drives like a washingmachine. How would that really feel?") Weels of drums out of tumbledryingmachine's (incl. laundry of course) and a soapdispenser as glovecompartment. They even made a wheelspin with it. I am watching it for years now. We've got the BBC on cable, but they also do reruns of it on Dutch television.

Top Gear is the greatest and most funny tv-carshow ever!

That's really cool! And you found it on a Dutch website. That's really cool.

We call that silver, my dear. Silver.

*Agrees with Insomniac's black lines* We'll see.

And the Dramaqueen was.... who?

Great chapter again! Extra dimension to it, we don't know how many chapters will follow. With a book you can see how many paper is left; "the clue must be coming soon". Now, we don't know. It is like you are feeling more of the insecureness (is that proper english?) Matt and Kevin are feeling. Keep it that way, don't tell how many chapters are still coming. (Yes, deep inside I want to know, but no, you shouldn't tell.) Cole, I don't want to tell you what to do, but since you are the writer; can't you give Matt a kick in the butt for being so... so... insecure?

Cole, I hate you and I love you.... (next chapter, puhlease!) Wonderfull how you build up this story. *Takes a deep bow*

Why should we do that? Can't inmagine that can give me the right answers to this quiz.... (I guessed the cemetery and Pearl Harbor right, out of the first answers. And that for some stupid European......)

*topic bump* (More people should read it!) I just finished chapter 8. It really gets interesting now. Can't wait how much more surprises you've got. I like the way you build op things. Kevin is still one big mystery to me. Yep, you got me hooked again.

Could be fun. I always like to 'talk' about funny things and life in general. (Or a combination of those...) A chatroom here could work, for it is a serious community, without the fear of being asked fot the size of my you-know-what-I-mean after a few minutes. On MSN, my profile has the same undersign for years; No webcamsex; my cam has no zoom-option. Poeple always laugh at it, but they understand the hint. A chatroom here will mean late nights for me in the weekends, because of the different time-zones. I can live with that. But not every weekend. The international chatrooms I have been in, gave me always a nice look into life at the other side of the ocean, and I had some interesting conversations. I you could combine that with writers... Sounds like fun.

Rceiving e-mails with great thanks for helping people dealing with their feelings is the greatest thing that can happen to you. I got several, and every single message is as special as the other. Beside that I got a lot of mails and messages in my guestbook with questions about myself. Who are you? How old are you? And more... That made me think. For me, the most special thing about a story is that there are no pictures. As a reader, you make your own interpretation. Its like radio against tv; you hear a voice, you can make up your own mind how the voice is looking. So I like to be a little... ehhh... mysterious. After publishing around five stories on the internet, and getting more and more questions about myself, I wrote a short story about all the characters from those stories, who organised a surpriseparty for me in an restaurant, and a bar later. "Thank you Oliver, for making our lives." They had questions along the evening; "why did you make me the way you did?", "am I like you?" In the story I told a lot about myself, answering those questions. Believe me, it was great fun to write. At the end of the story two of them (a very happy couple) drove me home, drunk as I was. My car stayed at the parking of the restaurant. The next day one of them, Luc (that is the Dutch/French version of Luke, I presume), picked me up to get my car. He was always the person of all my stories I felt the most related to. I had put a lot of my own doubts in him. We talked about that. In the end I kissed him, saying goodbye. That end of the story gave me the most rewarding reaction from one of the readers. He was mad. Furious! Where on earth did I had the nerve to kiss him?! I didn't had the right to disturb the beautiful relationship he had, I should have known better. From that moment I knew it; the persons that I create are alive for some my readers. And that feels good.

Cool. Now I am in the middle of this discussion. *pets the raccoon* Good boy, good boy. P.S. No thanks, Cole. You deserve it. (And thanks for the link to that very handy website.... )

You got me with "Prom" and I think you are doing it again. It gives the feeling the caracters are really alive, right around you. Somebody was talking about 'Give it until chapter five'. Well, I can't wait. Well done Cole!

Jeumig..... Don't know what to say. My condolences to everybody. Wish you all strenght. Have a good journey, Codey.
