Hey Maya! Aww thanks LOL and yup those are my furry roommates LOL Timmy's the bad one Have an awesome day and take care! Kevin

Hey Demetz, I had many things I was going to say to you after reading this entry, but in the end I've elected to keep my mouth shut for fear of saying the wrong thing and making it worse. So instead I'd like to just offer you a and my best wishes. Hang in there, things will pick up. Kevin Edit: uhhh somehow I seem to have posted this twice by mistake....but I guess you've already figured that out

Aww thanks, Baru!

Sounds fun to me! I love learning new things

Grrr, that always irritates me too. That's like saying, "Straight people don't care which member of the opposite sex they have sex with." or, "gay people don't care which member of the same sex they have sex with" (which I guess is something alot of straight people believe ).

I just wanted to wish David (Boxerdude) a very special and happy birthday! I hope you find each day in the upcoming year a little happier than the last -Kevin

I DEFINITELY would fancy a trip to Scotland... and I bet I could get foxy here to tag along All kinds of cuties in Scotland it seems! Yep, if it's a trip to the UK I think someone would be able to twist my arm enough to make me go Scotland is a wonderful place from all I've heard about it!

Awww thanks Zarcie!!!

Hey Rob! awww thanks! LOL I've got all sorts of (minor) issues regarding having my photo taken, and I don't even particularly like the pictures I did end up posting. Thanks for the kind words though, I really appreciate it Kevin

That's exactly the understanding I always had of it too. However, lately I've heard so much about it being to the contrary, plus I think the other guys know what they're talking about, so I guess it must vary by state, maybe that's just the popular belief or something. Although I definitely thinks it's the most sensible way to do it (at least of the ways mentioned above).

I certainly don't mean to upset or offend anyone, and I realize that many gay people have endured much pain and suffering as a result of their sexuality. I think that's awful and dispicable and I'm immensely sorry it's happened. I certainly couldn't fault these people or anyone else for choosing to take an easier path had the option be available. However, I for one wouldn't change it if I could. Obviously I can't say I'd have choosen it going into life since who can really say what they'd choose if both options were completely neutral to them. Perhaps if only presented with the information, "this'll be harder and less popular" I'd have said, "well I'll have the other option then", but I can say more positive things than negative things have resulted from my sexuality (in my own life). Sure there's all sorts of social and legal injustices which I'll probably never be able to overcome, but given the choice I wouldn't change. Of course I have to say I have been exceedingly fortunate in my experiences, so perhaps I have no right to make such statements. I do know this about myself though, it's more important for me to feel different than it is for me to feel the same. I have a much bigger fear of being "typical" or even "normal" than of being "strange" or "different". For me being gay fit nicely with that agenda, in fact when I was first questioning my sexuality the question I had to keep asking myself to be sure was, "are you sure you're not just doing this because it's less common?". Of course I don't claim to be "in my right mind" as Umbathri put it either, I probably am, but I'll be disappointed if I don't at least qualify for eccentric. Anyway I fear my post will offend someone; this is most assuredly not my intention. I can only speak for my own life experiences and preferences, I in no way mean to question or marginalize anyone else's beliefs, experiences, or decisions. I definitely don't claim my attitude or thoughts are correct in general only correct for me. I also recognize that from a political point of view it might matter, and I'll rally behind this for the greater good. I just don't happen to internalize it. Take care and have an awesome day everyone! Kevin

It seems a bit silly that it would ever come to the attention of any authorities in the first place. The girl in question must have been quite troublemaker/drama queen. Granted I've never been a teenage girl , but it seems to me any reasonable one would have said, "well I was asking for it" and brushed it off (actually I should think a reasonable one wouldn't have been engaging in such inappropriate behaviour in the first place). Still what do I know, I don't even have breasts. :king:

LOL! Awww thanks James!!

Hey Kitty! LOL thanks! They're my babies! and WOW! You're so observant! That IS the infamous bathtub fan! I didn't even realize it was in the picture! Did you guys notice the blinds in the background? They're really odd (to me at least) I've never had any like that, they open vertically, anyway I have two big matching windows in my living room and the really strange thing is that the ones for the left window stop at the base of the window ledge, but the ones on the right go all the way to the floor :wacko:

Hey Peter! Thanks, I've always been camera shy **shrugs** LOL and I'll definitely fight to retain the hair and keep the traces of my chocoholism hidden :2hands:

hey Colin! lol yup, most of the time anyway

LOL that does sound like quite a hike! Get a good night's sleep tonight for sure! Kevin

Awwww thanks Viv!! You're the best!

Hey Camy! I'm also really looking forward to reading your entry! I'm so sorry you had a down couple of days, but at least the midsummer is over now Take care and feel better! Kevin

Hey everyone, so I was thinking maybe you guys might want to see what I actually looked like. So dispite my extreme dislike of just about every picture I've ever taken, here's a few. I also have some Lucky and Timmy (I didn't let them look so I don't know if they like them or not, but I think they're adorable ) I'd just gotten out of the shower in this, thus I'm sure you guys can appeciate why it isn't a full body shot. My hair isn't this colour anymore I had it a little darker in an attempt to look more "professional" while I was looking for a job. Okay so I'm not the world's greatest photographer, this is about the only where I manage to not be half out of the picture or cut my head off ....ohh and my hairs a mess in that picture That's my new current hair colour Timmy is the orange and white one on the left, and Lucky's the one on the right. They're brother and sister and as you can see quite close Lucky sleeping with Timmy in his chair. Lucky in her own chair. hehehe she's there right now too. Timmy kicking back. Anyway that's us. Have an awesome day everyone!

They were the ones that did "Venus" didn't they?? I know they have a song I really like if it's not that one.

My gosh, how ridiculous and disgusting these laws are!

Well personally I've always hated the idea of nature just spitting out a bunch of traits and characteristics and everyone just always turning out predictably. In the nature vs. nurture debate I'm definitely pulling for nurture. However, that's just my personal preferences (anti nature; pro nurture), I actually believe they're intricately interwoven and completely different from person to person. In other words using homosexuality as an example I think a different and unique combination of genes will mean a completely different reaction to life experiences. Say Tommy and Billy both have the "potential" (based on their genes) to be gay, and Tommy spends a good bit of time growing up engaged in sports for example (though really I obviously think it's an infinite number of variables), as a result Tommy's experiences and socialization lead him to be straight. Now say we take Billy and put him in the exact same situation, and the exact same experiences and socialization have the exact opposite effect and Billy turns out gay. Say Tommy had instead spent a good bit of time playing video games or reading, maybe he'd have ended up gay, whereas if Billy had done those same thing he's have ended up straight. Anyway what I'm saying is I don't think (in most cases anyway) people choose their sexualities, but I think life experiences and environment do play a role, just in completely unpredictable ways. This is also basically what I believe about everything else as well a tendency to be: spiritual, angry, happy, sad, a leader, a follower, jealous, secure etc. I hate the idea that people are just born to be a certain way and whatever happens to them that's how it's going to be. Different experiences affect different people diferent ways. I definitely don't think it matters though. I mean in the case of sexuality for example I really don't care if people choose it (which I don't think is usually the case), as long as they enjoy it and accept it. Who cares why I like guys? They're hot and I'm glad I do . And I definitely think it's ridiculous (just my opinion) for people to try to change it or influence it's course (which I think is way too complicated and unpredictable to begin with -think Oedipus trying to escape his fate). That's like saying, "I hate that I like like oranges! I need to stop liking oranges and start liking apples!" I mean what the heck, why would not want to like oranges if they taste really good to you? Besides they're perfectly healthy and so is homosexuality Just my thoughts, Kevin

aww thanks! LOL blue's my favourite colour and I have alot of it in my wardrobe, so hopefully it does look good on me.

Hey Nick! So did you have a good time in Carolina? I'm sorry you've been bored, and all that stuff about Taylor and his mom sucks! It's good though that he's there for her even if she isn't really there for him, I mean she definitely should be, but at least he's being the better person and making the effort and doing what's right etc. I'm really looking forward to reading your summer Anthology entry! I'm sure it'll be awesome! Take care and have a teriffic day Kevin
