Is it worth it? PART 2

I came home a couple of hours ago. Green and the kid were seated on the floor with big headphones listening to music. Green makes me angry some times I will admit. Before he took this kid in he called me and told me he was doing it. He didn't really ask me he just said he was doing it. I know this is his house ultimately but I feel like he and I are a team right now. I think it's great that he can help this kid and I find myself helping the kid too it's just well I would be nice just to be asked

How long should a story be

I am frankly amazed at how some authors produce huge quantities of quality writing week after week, so I googled and thought I'd post some facts from Lee Masterton's article: 'How long should should your story be' Short Story 1,000 - 7,500 words The 'regular' short story, usually found in periodicals or anthology collections. Most 'genre' zines will features works at this length.   Novellette 7,500 - 20,000 words Often a novellette-length work is difficult to sell to a publisher. It is co

Life's a Conflagration

Life Rox

I feel better than I have in a really long time....maybe ever   Life is really going well, i knew certain things in my life were good (like the degree of acceptance towards my sexuality), but it seems everything is going in my favor now.   Tomorrow, I am going to Max's house. Today was a little weird, because he didn't get home until like 10:45, so I didn't know whether I was going or not. Happily, it turned out in my favor.   One of my friends, who I've been talking to more lately, see

Is it worth it?

Hi guys I know Ive been a little silent for the last couple of days. I've been dealing with a lot these two days and it's left me very emotionally drained. I through some circumstances I cannot mention as it affects my personal and professional life have taken in a homeless teen of the street. He's was living in a park for two weeks until I was made aware of it by other kids.   My friends are somewhat cautious and Chaz is treating me like I don't exist right now. I am being cautious trust me b

I didn't see Rory, but I found Milo...

Home Sweet Home~ My own bed, my own pillows, back to sleeping naked ahhhh! Sigh of relief!   Well, the trip to Arizona in a nutshell...   We, left here around 9:30 am, an hour and a half behind schedule by the time we stopped for gas and air in the tires and breakfast and some medicine for my son who had a runny nose and we drove... About an hour into it we see this accident that had just happened. It was one lane on an interchange from one freeway to another and they had these cement ba

Mosquitoes suck

The mosquitoes are now out in full force, and they have invaded my apartment. I hate having to burn that awful-smelling mosquito repellant incense, but it's the only thing that seems to keep most of them at bay (somewhat). Those little plug-in kinds don't work ... at least not on Taiwanese mosquitoes, which I'm starting to think are some kind of super, genetically-altered mosquitoes. So anyway, my legs are like totally bitten up and itch like hell. Not fun.   Yesterday, I bought my one-way air

Max

OK, today was...interesting.   First, my parents found a thing I had written a little while back about depression and suicide--lets just say it was vivid. Apparently, my dad found it and faxed it to my mom, and they both came down early because they were worried. Long story short--they had an "intervention." Everything went well though.   More importantly, I came out to Max today   Seriously, I thought I had gotten good reactions before, but his is by far the best. So he (ironically)

Buxom Babes

I've spent a good portion of the last couple of days thinking about the form of the human body and why it is that I'm attracted to guys rather than women? I love women, and to use a cliche a lot of my best friends are women, but...   I work with a bunch of people I really have nothing in common with, which is annoying. In the UK we have a paper called 'The Sun' and on page three everyday is the naked breasted babe with coyly arranged knickers hiding nothing. The paper is left (I get in late so

Life after Annie, hehe

Sooooo, Thursday, Friday and Saturday were our performances for Annie. Each night a sell out. I think Thursday was our best night, it all went along smoothly and perfect. Friday and Saturday were a little less perfect, but we still got standing ovations. It was great, really it was. Thursday night we went out to this restaurant and celebrated, and Friday night me and a few others did the same thing. Saturday night, we had the cast party at one of the servent girls' house. We got done with the pl

Seeking Nirvana

Well, I posted my first short story, "Seeking Nirvana," and so far, the feedback has been kind of mixed. I didn't expect that many people would get the "deeper" philosophical meaning I was getting at, and since it's a subject not too many people are familiar with, I can't say I'm surprised that the number of responses hasn't come close to SOOTB.   At any rate, two of the important things I was trying to get across were: 1) at all the points where Nicky thought he wasn't "getting it," he actual

No apologies

This I'll never be sorry for     Having my own opinion Being different from other people Telling someone that they're wrong Demanding facts when somoene tries to change my opinion or prove me wrong Winning political debates in the chat room (and I did rather easily)   Well, for everyone who forgot why Myr closed The Soapbox, if you were just in chat with me, you now know why I'm never going to let someone tell me that my opinions are wrong without an argument, and then have them make

Chronicles of My Life

I Believe...

I'm scared.   It was bound to happen soon and now it did. Basically I just realized (well just felt) that in slightly over a month I'll be moving to a new city. Hundreds of miles from anyone I know. I won't have (or at least don't yet have) a job. I'll be all but broke having payed for the move and the first month's bills and deposits. And I won't even have an officially structured way to meet new people (like school, or work....well until I find a job).   A little under two years ago

Birthdays and such

Hi y'all-thanks for wishing me a happy birthday   Jon slept over from sat to just nowish when my dad and I brought him home.   Materialistically-I got an iPod, a new fan, a pen (its a thing between my parents and me-milestone=pen), and iPod accessories   Mentally-My dad has realized he's been kinda distant and is attempting to fix that (I came out to him--apparently he "thought" he was gay when he was my age--so i had a helluva time explaining that one   Overall, considering that I've b

I'm putting it all out

Warning...rant ahead   Ok, so I'm at it again. Yesterday someone told me that 20-30 people said I was mean, so I put up a poll (it's still open, btw) and the results are in..........including me, 3 people think I'm mean. One person didn't know who I was and 19 people said I wasn't mean....out of those 19, eight said I was sweeter than July Jelly. So, I'm now asking the "messenger" to please round up these 20-30 people, and have them come vote and also leave comments if they would. I'd like t

My mother is a psycho apparently the white horse thing is her idea. I want to puke (Green did) all over this idea. We need some more questions we were hoping on

Depression and Suicide

Hey y'all, thanks for all the comments, but I've got to explain things a little better....   First off, Max is not gay...I am literally 99% positive   Second, I am not the type of person who just goes up to someone and hugs them, in fact, I have very little contact with other people in general, so just going up to him to hug him would have been a very bad idea.   Currently, I am content with (hopefully) becoming really good friends with Max.   Now the bad part, for the last (give or take

Am I mean?

Ok, so appearently, I'm mean. This is according to a source who says that 20-30 people have told him that I'm mean. So, I want to know.....is it true?? Be honest, too because if I am, I don't want to be mean. Normally, I don't care what people think of me, and really, if it was just a few people, I wouldnt worry.....but 20-30 is a lot. So, if you're one of those people, and you think I'm mean, please tell me why.

This week David Gilmour is my God

Since it seems to be de rigueur to have a track of the day, which btw I think is wonderful, I thought I'd waffle on about my album of the week. And definitely in my list of all time favourites.   I'm obsessed with Pink Floyd. Always have been I guess, though this week I'm hugely into 'The Division Bell' Two songs in particular both fit the me of now, and the lifestate I'm in.   'What do you want from me?' is the first, especially the lines: Do you want my blood, do you want my tears What

YOU CANT DO THAT TO US>>>> NO!

So my mother and Chaz's mother finally met. FIASCO was all I could think to describe this. My mother and Chaz's mother are opposites in every sense of the word. My mom is very shy and reserved while Chaz's mother can out yell a crowd of opera singers in full soprano. I was definitely nervous as we waited for them to arrive. I can also tell that my mother was nervous. I mean the woman made the Liar disappear.   So we see them pull up and my stomach is upside down. They meet and they greet and m
