Aww, thanks (:. Thank you :D.Maddy

Weee, thanks for the welcome, guys (:. I can honestly say that I rofl'd at every single response. XDD.Maddy

This same thing happened to me around October 20ish. I had a car accident, the cops determined i lost control of the vehicle, and I rode the back of their car *very uncomfortable for someone as tall as me* to their station. I think I had a bruise on my back from the seat for about three days afterwards. hahaMaddy

I'm not very good at introductions. *clears throat* I'm a very troubled person with many secrets. When it comes to communicating with others [self-communication is possible when you're so emotionally unstable, if you're wondering], I am either a minimalist or the opposite. I like to run in the rain, and I quite enjoy the occasional and ill-intended splash of cars. I like to take sick days when I'm completely healthy and the weather outside is great. I grab charcoal, watercolors, and their respective sheets and head off to the nearest park on my bike. I was once a very heavy individual, to the point that my right knee busted out of nowhere; I now feel extreme pain when the surrounding temperature drops below 30F. I am now very healthy. My life is rather hectic. I'm sort of a workaholic, and even though I love writing, I barely ever find time to write anything but poetry. I am a sales associate for Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Claiborne, and several other collection brands at a fashion square. I was a math/English tutor for a while, and I've realized that I could possibly become a teacher, though I probably won't due to the lack of 'monetary' incentive. I am rather jaded, or so I have been told. I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of life, but I enjoy it as much as I can. The people I meet are the only thing that keeps me going. I have had a long time to think, and therefore I know much more about myself than I probably should. Philosophy is my life, and vice versa. *looks around* That was easy. Well, it is nice to meet you too. I hope we can be friends. Just try not to hurt me. ;] Maddy

I wouldn't publicly insult Dickens if I were you. He's been known to wake from death only to punish those who don't appreciate his works. Beware! Maddy

I find that I feel the most inspired when I'm depressed. I don't really get inspired by people/places/phrases... but I'll say that even though they're not what 'trigger' the process, they do help. I wrote 'Train' when I was depressed. I wrote Silent Hearts when I was depressed. I wrote Silence when I was anxious. I wrote Wicked Possessions when I was confused/depressed/angry/anxious. I do seem like a big, bipolar mess, don't I? I'm happy most of the time, though not happy enough to feel 'inspired' to write anything. I guess I do art in general when my sensibilities are most... distraught? haha I have never completed a novel-length story. I have two on hold, because I pretty much lost grasp of whatever feeling I had while (oh god, I almost typed 'whilst' in there) writing them. I find it so much easier to write sequels to my short stories... only because they're short enough to completely exploit whatever chemicals are flowing through me before my muse extirpates them ^_^. Oh... and I never decide what I'm going to write about before I finish off the first paragraph. I just let my mind work itself on paper/wordsheet. Even for anthology entries, I almost always end up not thinking about the plot up until the second half. Whoopsie. Maddy

^_^ Well, in any case, I hope things work out for the better. You might very well get a lifelong friendship out of this O:.Maddy

I haven't read any of the comments, I just skipped down to the bottom. I don't know how things worked out when you were in your late teens/early twenties, but nowadays straight boys are a big bi-curious mess. They're not really bi-curious, but some of them are very comfortable with snuggling up against a boy (gay or not). Is he interested? Perhaps, perhaps not. But then again, 'Mark' is a recovering homophobe.Would it hurt the relationship if you 'asked' him?I don't really care how lame this sounds. Hope this helps, even if it only prompts you to think a bit more.Maddy

Hehe Only half? And I thought 10% was a good deal! Ha! Maddy (:

Hope you don't mind, but I just copied this into a word document for future reference :eyes :P. Maddy

But it would be unfair to completely ignore something that happened in such a similar scenario. It would be like feeding someone blowfish without telling them of the risks first. Maddy

Yes, I do remember that. In fact, it didn't stop at the GA chat; many members used msn as an outlet (and non-therapeutic, I might add) when the chatrooms went down. Bottomline is, you can't stop people from talking if they really want to, but you can hopefully give them enough time to think while they search for another way to talk. Maddy (:

Child Molester. Maddy

I would say yes, if and only if, there is a mod present at all times. This would be impossible, of course, unless chat sessions are scheduled to the convenience of mods and members, which I believe would be a good setup. I've been in chat rooms and things can get really ugly. Yes, I know everyone here is very nice, but having a chatroom would attract a lot of new members, and while this would be a good thing for the forums, many of those members won't exactly be 'agreeable'. Having said that, you also have to take into account that there will be people of all ages, and if you don't have mods or admins present at all times there could be an exchange of vital personal information between minors and adults. (not to mention other, more 'private' information) Chatrooms are also breeding ground for 'chesters', because they know that minors often visit these places. Beware, for chatrooms can be both a great thing and a bad thing. More than anything else, they can be a real pain in the ass to admins and mods. Maddy

I almost fell out of my chair reading this... twice.XDAnd don't worry about the kid, just take it as a compliment to looking young :).Maddy (:

I got a 9/10, though i honestly thought i wouldn't do so well. I must confess I don't know the exact meaning of too many words O.o. Maddy

*searches dictionary for anamorphic* Nope (:, I'm pretty sure I meant amorphic. But anamorphic would make much more sense LOL. And thanks for the comment (:. You're always so nice. Maddy (:

Meh, this is a sensitive topic for me. WHen I first started writing fiction online, I thought that I HAD to include a sex scene in every story I wrote, for that seemed a very prevalent theme in all the stories I'd read. Now I look back at what I wrote, and I feel ashamed. Not because I think sex scenes are 'distasteful', but because I wasn't writing it for me. It was a sort of peer pressure. Let me reiterate. Do I find sex scenes distasteful? No. Do I feel like writing about HIV, promiscuity, and 'the scene'? yes, but definitely pg13 rated. I have found that having written that against my own will has left me bitter. If I'd received that email I wouldn't have been so nice about it. Kudos to you. Maddy

I didn?t notice you for long; But don?t misunderstand, for I was wrong In thinking you were dust on the panes of an ever-darkening sky. To the star that is Codey. Maddy

:yay! Thanks for the linky! :D Maddy *reads comments :D*

That's too awesome!! :D Maddy (:
