  1. My guess is: - scent - old souls recognizing each other - similarity in personality ... But hey, those are my quesses of what might explain the phenomena. Does my guessing count if I don't believe in love at first sight?
  2. I'm a woman (at least I think I am) and I'm allowed to change my mind. For a while I thoughed I was straight. Then it turned out I like the ladies and really thoughed I'd be lesbian instead. Then came the "I must be bi". Now I'm just thinking outside the box. Love is love is love. So putting myself in a strict box is just boring. I will, in the honor of this thread, go and take the tab "bisexual" out of my info box. That just doesn't tell the whole story of me. I haven't read that story yet myself.

    Dinner with Gran

    Oo-ooh! I'm nearly speachless... my stomach hurts from laughing. The granny and the itty witty sister were amazing! And who liks someones face when there are relatives whatching? The sex was like fun-fun-fun too! Can't think of anything negative to bring up. I love stories that make me smile!
  4. Plaah. Stupid gal... Lily darling, what do we do if you fall in love with me at the first sight?
  5. Ohhhh... so that is the infamous Justin Bieber... he doesn't look so awfull at all. It's not the poor boy's fault that everybody is making fun of him... is it? He actually does seem sweet and cute and young.
  6. to meet the tempting
  7. Would it have been the happily ever after without ll the obstacles you faced and growing as a person in the middle of it? I'm so happy for you guys. I have to believe there is love too, just not at first sight though.
  8. Well, I know nothing about musicals and I do realise I was generalizing way too much with my comment ... Maybe I'll start with them when I'm finished with GA stories
  9. I read Renee Steven's story Scars of the Soul. I chose this story because I had not yet read anything from author Renee Stevens and I wanted to read a shorter story first. Sort stories are quite difficult in my opinnion. What to tell, what to leave out and where to focus. To see how an author handles his/her short stories is always such an interesting task. Short summary: This was a story of a young student Alex, who had been hiding scars both in his soul and his body and finally revieled them to his compassionate roommate Brent. There are physical scars lft, but can Brent help Alex heal emotionally too? Strengths of the story: This shorty held me in it's grip tightly from the start to the end. Scars of the Soul has a strong message against hate crimes (obviously) but it also deals with matters like self acceptance and living with marks of a crime dealing with life's dark side in general. I think the most important thing this story had, was hope. There is always hope, no matter how dark things get. Weaknesses of the story: I thought the story's ending was wrapped too quickly to my taste. I would have wanted to read a bit more about love's heeling power on Alex. The boys moved from friends to lovers in a little bit of haste. How could the story be improved: The Scars of the Soul was really touching, I was in near tears for Alex. There was definitely a lot of psychological issues going on in this story. I really don't think there is much to be improved. This is a really good and solid story that I'm happy to have read. I'm also going to read more from Renee now on! My favorite part? I'm a succer for sad stories - with a happy ending. I felt raw after reading what had happened to Alex and the end Renee offered was so needed. So yes, I would have wanted a longer ending scene since I loved the developement between the boys.
  10. What a horrible, horrible secret Alex had been carrying. Hate crimes make my guts turn, this story didn't. It didn't leave me jumping for joy since it was quite a sad story, but the ending gave me hope. I'm leaving only this short note here since I'll be giving my more deatailled review in Dark's thread 'Improve and Encourage" in writers corner. http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/31363-improve-and-encourage/page__pid__289528#entry289528
  11. I have no passion for musicals. Classics or modern. I did love Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge, but I'm not a fan of the genre at all. Most of the musicals seem fake-happy to me.
  12. I used to be addicted to shopping. I bought stuff to fill the void in me. Now, I hate going to shops, trying on new thigs etc. I only buy what I need and I have sold everything I bought at my manic shopping years. Things don't make me happy anymore. They make me sick.
  13. addicted by the boy's taste

  19. Don't lick until it drops... My boss has to approve the songs first. As much as I like the idea of playing Rocky Horror song in my class, she is a prude... I hope she has not seen the classic. I'll let you know. -Sigh-
  20. . The transformation had begun:
