Jamie!!! Don't I get to see? **pouts**

Hope you had an awesome birthday!

Happy belated birthday, Beasty! -Kevin

Yes, I agree that Mika is almost certainly gay. But he's cool with it, spreads acceptance, and manages to be subversive, in a positive way, without being out. So I'm cool with his closetedness. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to completely disagree with Ash, Graeme, and Martin on this one and reiterate what Pai-Chan said. I'm sure the defense he is receiving is motivated by good intentions, but the truth remains that not only did he straight up lie but he did indeed insult his own kind in the worst possible way. He also insulted the intelligence of everyone with at least a reasonable modicum of intelligence. At this point coming out can't help but to seem like a pathetic attempt to re-energize a tired, failed career. He already looks and acts like a worn out old queen, so it's about time he finally wore the hat.

Happy Belated birthday. Hope it was a good one

Hope everything, including and especially your health, is much better now

Oh my!

After the whole Napster thing in the 90s I promised myself that I would never again be a Metallica fan, and so far I've kept up with that. So this album would have to be very remarkable indeed for me to have anything but mild disdain toward them.

Oh man! So sorry I missed it, Mike I hope it was really awesome, dude! -Kevin

Happy Belated birthday, Steve!! -Kevin

Oh man I missed Ieshwar's birthday! So sorry, dude I hope it was even half as special as you are

Oh dear, I'm so sorry I hope you're doing much better now. Let us know what's going on.

LOL, two of my favourite male names! I suppose it shows too since I've used both those names in my stories. I love BlackAdder!

Good advice here. And perhaps the best advice of all. Ideally, I think perhaps you should move along. However, if you feel unable then it may indeed be time to confront him and be forward and find out once and for all one way or the other.

Happy Belated birthday! Hope it was a great one!

Well, I've never been a stutter. At most I might lose my train of thought or perhaps suffer a bit of aphasia.

Hope ya had an awesome birthday, sounds interesting anyway

Happy Belated birthday, Dan! Hope it was a great one!

Well I'm dying to know what, if anything, came of this? In any case, I agree with the majority; if he weren't at least interesting and/or having fun he probably wouldn't have done it

I'm celebrating Halloween

I'm reading "Homo Domesticus", which is a delightful, comical book about gay romance.

Well, I too read this as "public shaving" and while I might be disinclined to do that, I'm all for keeping a trimmed pubic region. A very fresh total shave is fine, but the regrowth looks a bit odd, so it's best to 'hedge' your bets if you know what I mean

Have a happy and special birthday

LOL, with the way the weather has been around here the last couple of days I'm beginning to think someone is trying! Great to hear from ya, Eric -Kevin

I've kinda not been around a great deal lately. I'm fine and there's nothing to worry about. Basically, as I indicated in my forum post a couple of weeks ago, I've just had other things on my plate. LOL, those of you that have been around a couple of years or longer are probably already well aware that periodically I tend to disappear for a couple of months (or perhaps a bit longer)...well it looks like now is that time again. It's amazing how much more I'm able to get done when I don't spend five or six hours a day chained to my computer. So, a little random update on personal affairs in case anyone was wondering. First off, I don't believe I mentioned this, but my very close, very dear friends Megan and Jesse moved back to Houston a few months ago. It's been awesome having them around again I've been having barrels of fun partying and going out with the majority of other random people I've mentioned in past entries. Indeed, my personal life has been quite drama free with one exception. My 'friendship' with Luke is pretty much over. He managed to alienate absolutely every one of his friends, and I was the only person left who still defended him...then he started spreading some very unpleasant rumours about me, which, unfortunately, I think he actually believed. Anyway, I just don't feel like I can trust him anymore, I don't particularly enjoy being around him anymore, and I can't be around him and anyone else at the same time anyway. So when you add all that to the rumours he spread about me (and then straight up lied to my face despite the fact that I already knew beyond a shadow of doubt), it's just not in the cards for us to spend time together right now. I wish him well, will continue to be pleasant to him if/when I see him, and will get on with my life. On another note: boys are crazy. Seriously, they've been driving me up the wall. Not the lovely, kind, fun gay bois whom I consider my extended family, but the wacky, flaky, paranoid ones I've been dating. Granted, I'd probably be crazy about these dudes as well if we were seeing each other platonically rather than romantically and in all honesty the delightful guys I'm such good friends with would probably drive me mad if I were dating them as well. So I suppose it's all fair, but in any case I'm sick of dating guys. Might be time to explore my bi-curious side (I'm only half-kidding ) Work is going wonderfully. I absolutely love it. I haven't mentioned in much, or at all, but I work for a small company that does fashion design. I'm sure you can all see now why I've been enjoying it so much I've been having a lot of trouble with my computer recently. Between the hurricane (and the resulting loss of power/internet) and the fact that my computer only turns on about half the time anyway I've successfully broken my addiction to the internet. Little FYI, I myself didn't actually have to endure life without electricity. Following the storm I accepted an invitation from an old friend in Baton Rouge and spent the following week there until my power was restored (and my area was actually one of the first in the area to get back on its feet). Unfortunately, the cable company here SUCKS and while the rest of my utilities were restored my internet was delayed...then disappeared again for a week. Apart from that though my experiences weren't especially harrowing. As far as writing goes, I'm not planning to stop...I am planning to stop posting for awhile though (sorry ). I do MUCH better when I have everything written out before I start posting it. Also, truth be told, I enjoy writing short stories much more than on-going serials, so expect more of those. WAS will be finished though, and undoubtedly one of several other serials I have in mind will be begun, but they won't be posted till they're done. That being said, while I won't be especially active here for the near future, I plan to lurk and pop in once or twice a week. I'll continue reading a few stories around here, possibly blog now and then, and maybe even stick my nose into a discussion once in awhile. I'll also respond to PMs...but perhaps not quickly (sorry again ). I also intend to participate in the anthologies. Anyway, take care all Kevin
