Do I need to become one of 'Charlie's Angels' to find out now? XD bad joke I need to know more. Period. Derek has got enough clues to figure it out. He seems like he's in denial. Poor stupid boy. The world's playing him. You too. Get a heart Hamen Cheese.

It's beautiful Bee! Just like your other work.. keep writing.. your poetry tells us more about you. We are glad to find out

OMG! Ambiguity at it's best! The mysterious boy 'converting' the innocent boy for a night (I wonder I'd like that theme). But figures I did. You had a way of simply stating the darkest of things that happened that night. We know everything that happened, but do we really? The descriptions were vivid yet vague. I don't know how you managed it but you did. I'm glad I decided to read your story. I'll definitely want to know more about the Stetson boy. Or probably not knowing is perfect. Tara.

Yes, Pitchan. I read that one too. It was all over the newspapers. I couldn't believe it was true until I went and researched about it for a bit myself. In Indore, about all of the surgeons testify to having done the genitoplasty about 100-200 times. That just shows the spread of ignorance which is highly unsettling. It's done at a meager amount of money which makes it accessible for the most mediocre of households. They state something like hormones are injected in the baby during the operation. This will only lead to a partial male development which can confuse the person and attract unnecessary ridicule. To satisfy their own need of a 'baby boy', parents could go on to being as selfish as making their children 'infertile'. It's a shame such things should happen in an educated society, in areas where education is prevalent and where people are raised to distinguish between right and wrong; not just morally but even scientifically. Tara.

OMG! I love that one!

Once a boy named Lew Fancied a girl called Drew His love for years was not debauched Although he was persistently watched By her children as they grew.

Lawl!! This sounds fun!! I should try something when I'm smarter! I'm gonna keep coming back to this though.. haha

I really feel for the insomniacs.. A good night's sleep is so much refreshing and it kind of drives you to do things the next day. I look forward to the wonderful time of night when I virtually drop dead on my bed. I won't wake up even if an elephant walks over me. I can go without any amount of rest through the day and till very late but it becomes difficult waking up sometimes. I used to be a light sleeper myself. So I'm pretty sure it's not how you are for eternity. Stress, over-work, lack of exercise or too much of introspection could be some of the causes. I hope you don't create ideas in your head for your stories when you go to bed. It might distract you. Do not worry about anything and try to feel that you will be able to sleep. It might not work initially but eventually it will. It did for me. Changed me as a person. Yoga really really works. It helps you control your breathing and rejuvenates your senses. Take it seriously and you'll be free of the problem, KC. Tara

Thank you so much for the replies. I needed them to know if I was the only one who felt like that. Figures I was just being lame. It's more difficult for me to approach directly since I'm very shy when it comes to matters like those and also a bit cynical since I had a bad experience. I'd not think about it if I weren't a little more serious than I thought I'd be for a long time. But unexpected things happen and you can't ignore them. I'll try to be a better sport about it and go for it. Cheers!! Tara

I have been looking at a guy (and he at me). I like him. But I don't know if I should approach him before knowing him. I'm kind of skeptical like that. I don't have any other way than to make my friends do the dirty work for me. Is it ethically okay? It may sound stupid but I'm a worrier and I feel like I need to do it before it's too late.

I am straight. I don't trust straight relationships so much. I have fallen out of a bad one myself. That kind of led me to doubt them and I started looking for ones that weren't so much like mine. I am a girl but I like to read lesbian stories as well. As for gay, well they include two of my favourite gender people. I don't know and don't really care if it really is how I like to think it is, but I feel that having a straight relationship that's void of true love is so much more possible since it's so easily achievable. It's easy to experiment and move on. But same sex couples are not so fortunate. If they're ready to get together even once to see if it's working, it must mean something. I'm a sucker for romance. So probably I search for all the places where I can find it.

I have more than 5 posts but I'm not in any way enjoying any full features!! I'm so confused here it sucks or maybe I do!! :wacko:

Though negative rep is a bitch and is very similar to the 'dislike' option which does not exist fortunately, I personally feel that positive rep gives the new readers like myself an insight on what should be read and what should be ignored. It could do more harm than good since some really good stories are ignored. Star ratings are easily given by many but rep points need more credibility, I think. At least I give them only when I feel that the story content and the writing are worth them. This marks the story of 'the' author as a distinct one as against around 1000 others 'with good star ratings' on the site. So I think I see the rep points in the shades of gray!!

I've read all of his tales too!! They are especially good for the teens!! Always a little in the hopeful and dreamy side!! who doesn't like happy endings??

A Class by Himself has me hooked!! I hope all your technical and time related problems are solved. Its been quite a while I've been patiently waiting.. I guess my impatience is kind of breeding anxiety. Sorry to bother you but if you'd please consider

Since no one else welcomed me here, I might as well welcome myself!! Thanks anyway guys!!

Is there more??? Really?????? I want more then!! If it makes any difference at all, Crosscurrents is my only favorite story on the site, needless to say out of so many amazing stories.. But I think I'm hard to please and your story was so good it touched my heart in more ways than one!! :worship:Thank you so much!
