Ashi

Just say NO to hemorrhoid. This special public announcement is brought to you by Foot Fetish Federation.

Of course. By the way, I am not trying to pick a fight with you, but this kind of thing does happen... (don't we all hate it, when we are just trying to be building a "trust" relationship, but the other person doesn't play it like that?) I have told my sexuality to a RL friend. We've been friends for a long time and I always thought of her as a very open-minded person. I decided I could trust her and just let it out.... Nope, nothing was like expected. People are diverse and different enough that we just cannot guarantee result, even ones you think you know so well.... I guess telling her of my sexuality was such a big responsibility loading onto her, she couldn't take it too well.... It happens.

I am not a foot fetish! It's just my name (it's short for something else). What does your name mean anyways?

OMG! I love it. And the surprise prince charming made me like, WTF! I like it. And the Fairy Godmother was so funny (have you ever feel like crystalmeth? o_O). The only thing I don't like is the in your face survey at the beginning....

Dangerous proposition.... Some insecure boyfriend would be super jealous, especially if that person is real. Maybe the BF would laugh about it at the time..., but the next time you guys see that person, it'll be awkward. Not to mention he might be thinking what you weren't thinking....

Yeah, better check it first. Back in school, there was a guy who wore a hat with the Japanese character "ashi" written on it. I don't know if he knew what it means. (it means foot/lower leg) That made me smile, but he probably didn't know why I was smiling.

I love it. :-) The faux Mohawk guy is just brilliant.

Happy Birthday!

I have this problem regularly when I write something. But I don't know your situation specifically. Is it due to motivation or due to your perfectionism kicks in so no matter what you wrote down, you feel like to scratch everything out? One thing you could try is...., if you don't know how to make an opening, start from the middle. That is, open the story in the middle of an event or an action. Keep in mind you're going to scratch everything out and edit them anyways, so don't be obsessed with perfect opening if that's the problem.

Cool. I like it when the Latino boy was forced to kiss a girl, he tried to puke it out. :-) Anyways, some friend sent me this.... (I know...) And here is the Yes, it's a real song.... Very shocking isn't it?

Great tips. I believe this is applicable to any type of criticism also.

(*googles*) Oh here it is:http://chronicle.com...oo-Menny/64969/ My reading library is actually not that long, but I guess I managed to cover some of the most depressing books ever.... :-D I even covered "On the Beach" through an old movie. I guess I need to read "Night" to complete the list. Well, I guess we're the Jude Generation.... Yeah, it got me. I am not denying it. That's how I met you. I am recovering though, and I am waiting for you to get out of the grand trench. Anyways, here is another Menny found during I googled the topic: http://en.wikipedia....nny#Discography

Happy Birthday, Cia!

It's just a setting. They might not even be surfers. Texas cowboy surfers? Pfft. Wait, I actually saw a store called that...

I wonder if women would be more comfy if they know their male doctor is gay? Just a thought. The retail store I used to work at, there is a bras section, and a gay guy totally adored to work there for bras fitting. He would totally jumped at the chance to work there, and I am always wondering if women are okay with him, though he was definitely flaming. If it were me doing the bras fitting, I am sure most women would look at me as if I were perverted. Besides, I probably don't have the competency at it. That guy probably had the qualification, because his other job was entertaining as a drag queen, but still don't know what would a woman think. I prefer a male doctor. I am just not comfy if I have to show a little more skin to a woman. It's just awkward. And a much older doctor would be better, since the feeling wouldn't mingle, if you know what I mean. And I definitely would prefer a gay doctor if I knew who he is and could choose. Gay doctors would understand gay issues more.

Send the family dog to be sitting on their laps.

Now I am curious. Is London part of Australia? (or is that just a city with the same name)

(*bangs head*)

I HATE that also! If I said anything other than great, then they gave me a stinky leave me alone face. People just don't really care. So it's not just London. LOL! I was in retail for too long, I keep thanking people, even when I am the customer. I even straighten the clothes rack and fold some clothes sometimes.... And yesterday, another person was trying to get a shopping car at Ross, and I was somehow in the way. She asked me if I wanted to get that cart. I said, "No, no, no." Then she took the cart. I almost thanked her out of habit, but instead I said, "Just kidding." That must have confused the heck out of her.... Of course, I ran out of the store as quickly as I could. F*ck my life moment.

Ugh.... Well, at least jamessavik's avatar is cuter than yours. (*tries to make jamessavik purr*)

My room is a mess. I admit it. Old receipts in Amazon boxes, CDs full of back up data scattered around, all sort of books and research papers, and accumulation of memories from different stages of my life among other things.... I am recovering from the grand trench of growing pain for some while now, but those mementos keep reminding me of such unhappy past, as if they do not want to part with me, in fear I would find happiness. I have been wanting to shake off those who are still pulling my legs from moving forward, but all that piling up baggages of the past affected both my mood and energy, so they remained. Today I decided it's time to clean the past. The project is daunting no doubt and will take multiple days, but it must get started, or I would always remember it. In the process, I found my old medical terminology book, an accounting project, various leftover computer parts when I upgraded my computers, piling Amazon and other online store receipts, and a Costco coupon for 100 free photo prints (ooh hoo!). I dusted various books on the shelf, among them, Jude the Obscure, the wrong edition from what I ordered. I kept it anyways, because no matter what the cover is, it is still the unglamorous story of an overachiever victimized by his own moral integrity (however unconventional he became at the end). Among other more interesting things I found was a pile of peer review periodicals I gathered on small acid-soluble protein (SASP) found in various bacteria's cell wall. I found them for a school project, which later sparked an interest and I started to fabricate a hypothesis on the possible cure (and/or prevention) for skin cancer. Since my desire to go into health care diminished, so if you guys are interested in doing the full research in that field, let me know. I will let you know what I was thinking, so at least that project can be carried on, and perhaps help people out if successful. Another thing I found was the outline I did for an old story I wrote. I made a structured outline because I really thought seriously about becoming an author (no, I didn't join GA for chat originally), so I did quite a bit of online (and little bit of offline) research on how to get stories published. Having a cover letter and a structured outline were among the requirement before sending the whole story to the publisher. On top of the outline pile was the handout "Principles of Screenwriting" (which I do not remember whether I got it online or from a workshop). Bottom of the pile was a chapter I eventually took out from the final story, because it was not told from the main character's perspective. I thought it was a fun idea, but then decided it was just distracting from the main storyline. Besides, that subplot was much darker in tone than the main storyline and involved a theme that might turn off people who were attracted to the main plot. It was a story of a side character who talked very little in the main story, so the entire chapter was about what was his life like, in the mind of a shy boy, and his dark past. It is a good story on its own I think, though with a somewhat disturbing theme (just my opinion). It also needs editing and I am not sure if what I have left is the whole thing, though I have eight pages here with me. According to the outline, there is more to that subplot, but I might have integrated the remaining part into the main storyline, so I am not sure.... Anyways, hopefully my life will be on its feet again after my room is finally rid off past events. Now I think of it, I actually have done more than I originally thought when I was going through that painful (but numbing) period. And what a big spender I was, after seeing all those receipts. Yikes!

I used to like drink something strong like Vodka or some 80 proof and up (40% alcohol), but now I tend to drink something mellow... (if I drink at all). Don't know why. Napa wines tend to be very strong as far as wines go... (some can go like 18%.... Two glasses are enough). I do like margarita with lots of tequila (reposado). Rums (dark) are nice. Don't drink a lot nowadays, if any. Like Japanese plum wine also (and the prune/green plum/ume inside).

Hello.

Yeah nice looking. It looks like pink funnel cake in the sky! Andrea.

It's getting really warm the last couple days....
