Ashi

Happy birthday.

You should observe his behaviors.... Don't make hasty movements. Don't move your mouth too close to his, nor stare at his lips too much, no matter how juicy they look. If he really wants you, his hormone will tell him to extend his gayness for another week. But if he is back to straight after this week.... I think there is going to be a lot of drama in school. Many people will think he's a cheat.... So be wary of that. In any case, his girlfriend, current or ex, may not like the news....

Yes... things can turn sleazy.... I think I would too if given a chance. Just kidding. I dunno.... Well.... Okay, stop. People change. Yeah, that's it.

It's a very cute chapter! Yeah, like Scotty, I think you got a great foundation. Keep it up!

Happy belated! Oh my, that cake. Who would get to eat the good part?

The sweet memory of a dear friend is often hard to forget. May he smell your subliming incense up on the heaven.

I remember those! Along with oversized overalls which the suspenders kept falling down. I love the part where the girl said, "You look like you think you look cool." Because I mean, that's why those dudes wore them, cause they're so "hardcore." LOL Disclaimer: I might have worn those, but honestly I could not remember.

He Wore Heart on His Sleeve He thought love was a happy delusion, so he wore it on his sleeve. It made him see things in different light, so bright, it blinded him. He dreamed so hard of the perfect one, he refused to sleep on it. People looked at him with doleful eyes, he thought they were green with envy. Until one day he found the one who sent his heart flying. Dark cloud loomed, our unlucky hero the rejection felt like skydiving with no site for proper landing.

Thanks DrPaladin! Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for helping me editing the story.

The part about rekindle one's interests struck a chord with me also. All the good wishes to you. Just live the life the way it is, and don't expect too much. Be an observer for a while, rather than a participant, and maybe that'll work out for you. Don't take life too seriously.... I mean, seriously.... don't take it seriously.

Thanks Mr. Foster. Haven't seen you for a long time too.... Come to the chat.

Well... don't know if AJ would ever able to read this, but Ashi wishes there should at least be a goodbye.

Yeah, I love to do that, too. It's a very French philosophy.

I wish you all the luck, Lacey.

Anyways, just barging in to take a peek of this thread. Are we still on the 2003-ish era? I just remembered one thing. Since the setting is in Bay Area (SF Bay Area?), remember it's the center of dot.com boom/bust, so it's all nouveau rich look. Not your traditional establishment East Coast members-only look. You might be caught dead dressed in a designer suit. But if you were trying to be a tech executive, you might wear some brand name suit (Hugo Boss, Burberry, Gucci, maybe Paul Smith?) but don't be surprised if the guy matches it with a pair of sneakers. And I am pretty sure he might even have a Palm V in his hand. I had one (don't know why I needed it). If you didn't have the money, you might have a Palm III. That'll surely gives some of us older readers some squeechy giggles. People bought those handhelds devices like smart phones are nowadays (and it couldn't even do nearly as much as a smart phone could). And speaking of sneakers. Did you get to see my new Superstar? Though I'd imagine myself seeing JJ wearing all black Gucci suit with a pair of traditional white Superstar with red or green three stripes, like these: http://www.adidas.com/us/superstar-80s-vintage-deluxe-shoes/B35982.html Though those are Superstar 80s in the link.... I think back in the early 2000s era, Superstar II was more like it. But probably not the more street cred black Superstar... (which the wearers of them often have them very worn and dirty). Though JJ probably would get a pair of limited release Fabrique en France Superstar rather than your ordinary Made in China ones. Though I am not sure if the made in France ones were available around 2003. I just remembered I wore a Kenneth Cole turtleneck back in that era. You could probably top it with a four-button suit (I didn't, but some people would). Most of us college kids at that time wore very street stuff. Could be expensive, but still street looking stuff. Rich people in Bay Area liked Bohemian look (the well-off hippies look). Though I am not sure if that's more of a mid 2000s thing or not. You know the Urban Outfitters look.... There was this girl (who sort had a crush on me) digged the Anthropology (and possibly Free People), so I got her this vintage looking necklace for her birthday from that store. You know, the semi-precious stones and turquoise mounted on the oxidized silver settings type. As for guys, I remember someone told me, "shell necklace..., you think everyone is Californian or what?" But that was the look at that early 2000s era. T-shirt with shell necklace/bracelet (sometimes the bracelet worn on the ankles paired with flip flops). Possibly with a can opener as a decorative item on the necklace/bracelet. And yes..., later on the decade, we got into the more frugal, recession era trend. Though well-off people would wear expensive stuff that looked like they were from thrift stores just to mix in. Of course that later turned into more of a hipster trend. Think Hayes Street of San Francisco. EDIT: Just some addition of Bay Area culture. San Francisco culture is very organic and grass root. I am pretty sure most of you guys won't able to figure us out. We like our stuff non-mass commercial type, organic certified and sustainable. SF people carry Timbuk2 bags, drink Blue Bottle Coffee, and eat Super Duper Burgers. We like our San Francisco brands. As for food, that's the era where everyone would brag about their latest find of cheap sushi restaurants. LOL

Congrats.

Never had sex, never kissed. First serious crush was a guy from English class in college (I think I was around 20 or 21?).
