    RIP - Comicality - May 1975 -- April 2024

    By Myr

    I have been following Comicality since New Kid in School first showed up on Nifty in 1998.  I started exchanging emails with him that long ago.  We've been online friends since.  When the opportunity arose for me to start Gay Authors in Sep 2002, Comicality was the first author with us.  When we opened the forums at the very end of July in 2003, it only took me a few days to get Comicality on the forums.  Back then he was on a WebTV... He continued to grow and grow as an author branching ou

The Spring Anthology

Hey everyone!   I read the Spring Anthology and all I can say is "WOW!" You can really see all the effort the authours put into making it a success! I don't think I could pick a favourite story if I had to! I just know that I feel much richer for having read them.   It even inspired me to give this whole "Day Of Silence" thing a whirl. I'm actually counting it from the time I wake up on the 26th until the time I go to bed (which is a full day to me), thus I don't feel like I'm cheat by

I might have to quit my job

Well, I had it out with the old man tonight. He wants me to wuit my job because he says I'm too young to have a job and to be taking the kind of classes I'm in at school. I told him no way, but he pointed out to me that I was up last night past 3 in the morning finishing my hw. He's right about that part, but that doesn't always happen. Usually I can finish my hw before I'm off work. I do a lot of it while I'm at school and I try to finish it while I'm on break. But last night I had a lot of wor

Cats and pets

Cubby, one of Luc's kittens has died. Now I'm not going to start a diatribe on the cruelty of nature, and I'm sorry about Cubby, but are we, and by we I mean 'pet owners', out to lunch?   I live with four cats I love much too much. They are wonderful distinct personalities, they bring me joy beyond any rational explanation, and I spend a fortune on feeding them ... when there are sentient human beings starving to death, being tortured by inhumane dictators, being bombed by arrogant western lea

Cubby

Cubby died this morning.   First thing, I want to thank everyone for their kind and encouraging words about Cubby. One thing I know is that every moment of Cubby's life, someone cared about him. There are many cats--and people--about whom you cannot say that. His little body wasn't able to contain his spirit. It's free now and hopefully will find a stronger body next time around--hopefully he will be as loved as he was during this short life.   I knew things weren't going to go well last

This blog has no title

The past few days have been really blah, so I don't really have anything to report, since I didn't do anything other than manage to finish up Ch. 15 of SOOTB and get started on Ch. 16. Right now, I'm sitting at work, bored out of my mind. For those of you that don't know, I work part-time for a research group here in Taiwan. The government is on this little "internationalization" kick, so I'm the "token foreigner" in the office. My main job responsibility is to sit here and "look white" ... occa

I have to keep moving

Ok, so a lot has happened this weekend, and it hasn't been easy. But I know I have to keep moving, and I'm going to. Myr just posted the Anthology today, and I was proud to see my story there. I'm not saying it was all that, but to have a story posted on the same page as Lugh and RHawes and Viv was amazing to me. Also, I have goals and I have to keep working to get them accomplished. I started almost a year ago on xanga, posting What's the difference for about 5 readers, but that grew to about

Best of time, worst of times

Sumbloke is getting married! I am delighted for him. He is a sweet guy and deserves all the success and happiness that life offers. For this I am delighted.   As much as this Sumbloke's news pleases me, I am stinging over the loss of Green. I thought very highly of him. Sure he had his issues but he was a bright guy, talented writer and a person of great promise. I am going to miss him.   This my friends is life- joy and pain, success and loss, yin and yang. Treasure the ones you care about,

Sad

The news of Green and David's accident followed by Green's death and Chaz's suffering has me devastated, and I'm trying to work out why. I don't know them in real life, I hardly know them here. It's not as if we talked in live chat. I've only been here a short while and only know of them through blog and stories.   I think it's because this is a site for fiction, and this is not the way the story was supposed to go. I'm very angry at how unfair life is, and very, very sad.   ------ Lo! some

No way to describe it

This was supposed to be a good day. It's a Saturday, I only had to work a few hours and I got to go to the movies with Taylor and 4 of our friends. It was just a guy thing. Later we were going to meet up at Taylors and party and kick it in the pool even though it rained here. Well, when I got home and logged on to GA to see if there was any news about Green, I suddenly felt like I got punched in the belly. I'm sure most of you know by now, and it's probably the worst thing I've read. I want to

A "Wordy" Entry

Now I know what some of you might be thinking, "Oh goodness, this is going to be really long if he's actually admitting it's wordy in the title." However, you'd be wrong. Oh I'm not saying it won't be long, perhaps it will, but certainly no longer than my typical blog entry. No, this entry is in fact about Words.   I love words! They're one of my all time favourite things to utter. The thing about words and expression though, is that if you look at their usual meaning versus their literal

The Taiwanese postal service is evil

So, I've already shipped two big boxes of books back home, and I never thought sending them by surface mail would be so friggin' expensive. I had a third box to mail today, which was considerably heavier than the previous two (I have some massive dictionaries and reference books). It was a miracle that I even managed to get it to the post office without throwing out my back. And so I get there, and they tell me it's overweight (maximum weight is 30kg), and to go home and re-pack it into two sepa

g.l.a.a.d. to be here!

So last night I made myself go to bed at 9 pm since I was supposed to be up for work at 2 am but I couldn't fall asleep so I ended up watching TV and on VH1 they were airing the glaad media awards. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) So I watched as Melissa Etheridge was presented with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. The award is presented to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for

So I might change my profile name

Okay, so I'm thinking about changing my user name for some odd reason. I'm not sure why, but I have this idea that somehow changing my profile name might make my stories seem more exciting and people would want to read them. Unfortunately, I went to change it, and the name I was going to go with (Nick) was already being used by someone who hasnt been on since like 2003. Oh well, I have a few other names in mind....here's the choices I'm considering     Mikehawk(sayitfast) W00t1991 Southside

Wow. It's a schooner.

I'm writing this not so much because I have anything to say, but because if I don't take a break I'm gonna end up curled up in the corner screaming. I'm trying to write this stupid 10 page historical narrative (if you don't know what that is, I still haven't quite figured it out myself) and I have a sneaking suspicion I'm gonna get to page 3 or so and just run out of stuff to say.   Anyway, I told my mom about getting accepted to that school, and she just got mad because it was even farther aw

In their next life, maybe they will be pond scum

I just want to say that I think people who use other people as pawns in head games are the lowest form of life. Especially when they use vulnerable people. There are people like this. They can smell who is useable and who is not. I suspect they spend much of their conscious time sniffing the air

Things keep churning slowly

Real Life's been kind of kicking my ass lately, and I've not been getting nearly the sort of writing done that I'd like. The rewrite of the last two chapters of Yankee, any of Carpe Diem (though at least I've got the background research I need done for that one), Wild Life, What Lies Beneath, any of the little interstitials with Justin and Rob... all just sitting there.   Not that I've been un-busy -- it's been an eventful month, what with having my dog euthanized, the separation, landing a po

Nothing Specific

Well I had a GREAT Easter. I ate so much my pants were tight on Monday but they seem to be back to normal now. Sam got me a pound of my favorite candy that butter toffee that's coated in chocolate and nuts. I've done good though, instead of eating the whole box in one night I've only had two pieces so far! Course I've been kinda busy eating easter leftovers!   I hope I don't offend here but I HATE rap music, more so I hate every damn commercial having rap music in it. Yesterday I even

My Hips Don't Lie

Ok so let's see. Here's a quick recap of what happened over the Easter holidays.   My mom and I went and visited my grandmother and aunt (dad's side of the family). My grandmother decided to give me my graduation present early. Yay! It was a check and it'll really help assuage my financial stress with the move.   Then I found out that my cousin had written this nice little article about romantic love which had gotten accepted and was being circulated in papers all over the country.
