Eh, I don't really believe in regrets. The past is the past and it suited its purpose at the time. The present and the future are the only things worth stressing about. If I'd have to pick though, I say that broadly I regret the things I didn't do, not the things I did. A missed experience or opportunity is vaguely worth regretting, but a 'mistake' is just a learning experience...and half of those are too fun to trade away

I wouldn't say she inspires me per se, but I do believe she's a committed and fairly powerful force for gay rights and tolerance and that alone earns her quite a few points in my book. I'll probably buy her new CD, just to support her, even though from what I can tell so far I don't think I'll like it nearly as much as her previous work. She has a pretty good accumulation of good will with me though so I'll get behind her latest effort. "Born This Way" and "Judas" aren't really among my favourites nor do I hate them, but her previous CD rocked and I do think she's good for the gays, so I'll support....her next album had better rock nail it though

E.T. by Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West! That song totally rocks!!

Definitely city! I like nature as much as the next guy, but for me having easy access to a wide array of services, arts, stores, and a diverse community are more important. I really don't have any desire to live somewhere that doesn't have 24 hour services and entertainment. My partner prefers the suburbs though so I suppose we may end up living in the burbs and I guess I can deal with that as long as we have a major city fairly close by, but it's not my first choice. Currently I live in and enjoy a nice metropolis.

Would You Allow Your Son To Play With A Barbie Doll?
AFriendlyFace replied to methodwriter85's topic in The Lounge
Absolutely, I fully intend to expose my son and/or daughter to toys and hobbies that traditionally appeal to both genders. Best to let them choose their interests and hobbies while I simply facilitate a supportive environment. -
Happy Birthday, Myr! Hope it's a great one!

Aaron doesn't get involved in drama...At least he didn't until Ben and his friends suddenly got involved in his life. Now Aaron has to adapt to completely new situations and make changes and compromises for the sake of his relationship. But where will he draw the line? Where should he draw the line? This is the second story in a two book tale about love, hate, dependency, loyalty, romance, friendship, alcohol, drugs and much more.

Chapter 2: A Cosmo Mixer “I don’t want to go to Daisy’s party.” That’s an understatement; it’s a bit like saying, ‘I don’t want to burn to death.’ “Sweetie, you have to go. It’ll look bad if you don’t,” Ben says as he metaphorically strikes a match. “It’ll be bad if I do,” I retort crossing my arms defensively. My pyro boyfriend is undeterred. “Honey, please. Matt’s my best friend. There’s no way I’m missing his party, but I really don’t want this to cause us any problems. Everyo

Chapter 1: Something to do on a Quiet Saturday Have you ever watched someone flex their back muscles? I mean really watched them do it? The way the shoulder blades gradually pinch in and bunch up the skin and muscle along the top region. The way the whole torso slowly tapers off to a narrow waist as the muscles along the side of the spinal column seem to bend the whole back gently in or pull it out respectively. The way the whole glorious thing gradually descends into their shorts. It’s a wo

Reflections Over Coffee Part II: Prologue Ben likes to be touched, I pondered as I sat on our balcony sipping my coffee. He likes to be touched a lot actually. It doesn’t matter where we go – even places that aren’t exactly the safest for two guys to be touching – Ben still likes to be touched. He’ll lean on me, or take my hand, or snuggle under my arm. It doesn’t really matter to him as long as there’s that contact. At first I thought he was simply trying to seduce me – and quite often he is

Joel and Bobby grew up together and have been extremely close their entire lives. The two guys are now in college and sharing an apartment. When Joel’s cousin and his girlfriend come to stay for the weekend Joel decides to give the couple his room and share with Bobby during their visit. Bobby is gay, and naturally as his best friend, Joel is aware of this fact. One night however, as the two are going to sleep, Bobby decides to tell Joel the full extent of his feelings...

A handful of characters try to walk the line between hurting and protecting. The nature of love,friendship, lies, trust, hope and dispair. Follow Jeff & Michael as their life together play out. Watch Donny & Beth care for each other and attempt to support the others. See if Nicky can begin to put together the pieces of his shattered life. Watch as Brad just tries to survive. Can a father change? Can a mother heal the pain? Can any of them hope for their lives to be same ever again?

Indefensible Chapter 3 – Lying, Crying, and Flying A Plateful of Excuses “I won’t be home tonight. I’m staying with Babs so we’ll be able to hit the boutiques early tomorrow. Some new fall lines are being released,” Cassandra was saying as she put the finishing touches on her shoulder length blonde hair, then sprayed on some expensive perfume. Don sighed and rolled onto his back as he watched his wife sitting at her dresser getting ready. We’d all be happier if yo

Indefensible Chapter 2 - Best Friends Pt 1: Donny and Brad "Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying, Mr. Prescott?" Don Landry demanded sternly. "Sorry, Mr. Landry, I was just thinking about Mikie again," Jeff said as the smile faded from his face and he looked back at the man sitting across from. "Michael Kesler is dead, Mr. Prescott," Don said shortly. Jeff sighed and, propping his elbows up on the small metal table, leaned forward into his hands. As he roughly r

Indefensible Chapter 1 – Hungry Souls Jeff couldn’t figure out where he wanted the sautéed vegetables. Logically the grilled sea bass should be in the center of the table, but the vegetables were on a larger platter and placing them anywhere else would throw off the symmetry of the table. He wanted everything to be perfect; it was a special night. Exactly one year ago tonight his dreams had become reality; he had wed his soul-mate, Michael Kesler. Well technically it was a “commi

John has just turned eighteen, he’s about to graduate from high school, and he’s made an important decision; he’s going to enlist in the army, but how will his ultra-liberal parents and siblings react? This is a short parody piece.

Going in “I’ve got something I need to tell you,” I said as I wiped my sweaty palms on my thighs and nervously surveyed the table. My father was just finishing his lentil soup, my mother was looking at me patiently, my brother Mark was sending a text message, my brother Keith was picking at his salad, and my sister Doreen was looking at me curiously. “What is it, dear?” my mother inquired. “I’ve...I uhh...Well I’m,” I muttered unable to get the words out. “You’re what?” Keith asked i

Aaron doesn't get involved in drama. Instead he prefers to sit back night after night in the local club and watch OTHER guys become ensnared by life, and the A-gay's, little games. All that unexpectedly changes one night with four simple words, "Buy me a drink?" Now all Aaron can do is hang on and see where this ride takes him.

Chapter 10: Breaking up with my Boyfriend. “But you’re not in love with him, Aaron” Jake says gently. “You’re in love with Ben. Mick is just your fall back guy, your safety net. He’s the sensible choice – and I’m not saying he’s the wrong choice – but I’ve seen the way you look at both of them and for better or worse it’s Ben all the way right now.” I can’t think for several minutes. When I finally do… “Jake?” I ask in a dazed voice. “Yeah Aar,” he responds putting a consoling hand

Chapter 9: I Can’t Even Think Straight I don’t think Mick has ever kissed me before. Like, I’m really trying to think back and I’m pretty sure this morning was the first time. On Monday mornings we have a philosophy class together at 10:55. So we usually get up about 9:00, stumble down the stairs at 9:30, eat some breakfast, and head out about 10:00 (you never know about traffic, parking is always a bitch, the building is on the other side of campus, and I’m paranoid about being late, so

Chapter 8: Turning Japanese I think I’m turning Japanese…I really think so. There’s this beautiful area of Hermann Park called ‘The Japanese Gardens’, it’s got this wonderful little stream thing running through it, and all these pretty rocks and trees, and it’s spring so all the flowers and stuff are in bloom. It’s gorgeous. Only, as lovely as it is, I’m not looking at it. Or anything for that matter. Instead I’ve got my eyes closed and my tongue down Ben’s throat. I won’t bother boring

Chapter 7: The Greatest Story Ever Told “Don’t pick up, don’t pick up,” I mutter quietly to myself as the phone rings on the other end. I really don’t want him to answer. I guess that sounds weird since I’m calling him and all, but my heart is in my throat, and I think what I really want is to be able to see him at Bender’s next Friday and just be able to say that I had called him. Or maybe I wanted to be able to look Mick in the eye when he gets home in a few hours and say ‘yeah man, I c

Chapter 6: The Truth Hurts “What’s my nickname, Aaron?” Ben asks, repeating his question as he looks at me expectantly. I should lie. I know I should lie. I should say ‘it’s Hottie’ and kiss him. Or maybe ‘it’s Sexy Ass’ and wink at him or something. But I know he’d see through that. He already seems to have developed a very disconcerting habit of calling me on my bull shit. Anyway, I guess when you think about it ‘Hottie’ doesn’t really fit with ‘Cosmo’, ‘Daisy’, and ‘Giorgio’. “Wel

Chapter 5: The Name Game “Didn’t you say Robbie used to date him?” It’s about 2:30AM and I’m sitting in Frank’s having cheese fries with Mick, just as I would any other Friday night. Damn it! “Who’s Robbie?” I ask him. “Amanda’s friend. The one who opened a can of Pygmalion on your ass,” Mick clarifies, as I glare at his insulting ‘literary world meets WWF’ reference. “Ronnie,” I correct rolling my eyes. “Ronnie then. Anyway, didn’t you say he used to date Giorgio?” ”Yeah s
