  1. Dom, I know you won't read this until the end of the story, but I want to say how much I love it......I listened to A momentary Lapse of Reason while I was reading chapter 2 and it was perfect. This is a total Pink Floyd soundtrack story...i listened to The Wall during chapter 3. You're friggen awesome, Dom!!!!
  2. Actually, our AC works too good sometimes The person below me thinks 66 is way too low of a setting for the AC
  3. I can't concentrate on my work unless the right music is playing in the background. I think it helps to set a mood that I want my readers to feel when they finally see the posted work.
  4. I think when he threw in the safe part he was trying to plant the idea that Ben wouldn't protect him....Of course, Connor's much safer now that he isn't with Ryan the abuser
  5. I'm kinda hoping that Ben and Connor end up together too, but if they don't, it won't be the end of the world.....that'll give Connor the chance to push up on Toby and knock Cody out of the picture once and for all. Maybe Ryan and Cody can hook up or something and Ryan can look into alternative medicines and excersizes for his ADD or something.
  6. Well Well Well..... It looks like Ryan's unhatching a plan to get Connor to take him back. I hope Connor can be smart enough to realize what a good thing he has with Ben and not give in to Ryan's deception. I just can't believe that he's asking for forgiveness. Ben pwns Ryan in every way, as far as I'm concerned, and it'll be a mistake for Connor to fall for his tricks and fall into the vicious cycle of abuse that Ryan had him trapped in that last time they were together. Ben>Ryan all day
  7. Ok, so i finally read itm and all I can say is, I hope this story stretches into Halloween, because it feels spooky.
  8. I look at it like this.......how many stories are out there where someone has to come out? A lot. So if you wrote a story where a son comes out to his family, is that plagerism? Just because there's a time machine in Do Over doesn't mean there can't be one in another story, and I don't think that's plagerism, either...I mean, look at Replay. It has a different plot, but the main character still goes back in time. It's an original story, though(a very good one, too ). I mean, if you just took one of Dom's scenes and used it word for word in the middle of a paragraph, that would be plagerism, IMO, but not using a few words to describe a scene. One of the descriptions Dom uses all the time is that whoever(Rory and Seth, Quinn and Jude, Luke and Grandma Alice) laced their fingers. I've seen it in other stories too, but that doesn't mean they plagerized Dom's stuff. It just means they wanted to use that description in a hand holding scene.
  9. Happy Birthday Coley!!!!!!
  10. Yes!! But only in my underwear The person below me is about to go with their dad to pick out the car he gets to have when he turns 16 and gets his license

  15. Well, we made it back yesterday California was nice to visit, but by the end of our trip, I was glad to be coming home. We had a really good time, though. I dont even know where to begin..... The flight there totally sucked. I started to panic a little when we were about to take off because I thought I could smell something burning, then the lady in the seat behind me asked the lady who she was sitting next to if she could smell smoke So anyway, by that point, we were going really fast down the runway and before I could say anything we were taking off. So now I'm totally freaking out and the plane starts jerking around while we're going up in the air. Finally, we go out over the ocean and turn around, the when we did, the seemed like it was bouncing around and hitting bumps The whole time it was happening though the flight attendents were just acting like everything was normal. Finally it seemed like things were pretty smooth and they turned off the seatbelt sign until we landed in Dallas. When we got to Dallas we were all hungry and grouchy because we had to wait there for 2 hours before we could leave for Sacramento, but we found a good place for food. I had 2 bbq beef brisquet sandwiches and Taylor had 3...they were friggen good So on the way to Sacramento I thought I smelt the same burning smell but no one else could smell it. When we got to Cali the car my dad rented for my cousin was totally wack and it didnt even have a CD player, so we made him upgrade to something else There was no way we were gonna go a whole week with no CD player. Ok, here's where I should stop and tell everyone something........... I guess not everyone in my family knew I was gay. I'm sure they know now, though. I introduced Taylor to everyone and told them who he was. One of my dads cousins was being kinda snotty about it, but when we played football, Taylor put a hard ass hit on him when he caught the ball and knocked him on his fat behind. He got up and looked mad and tried to catch the ball again but Taylor intercepted on him and ran it back for a touchdown. He was HOT after that and he said he had to go inside for something..lol. We had a really good time, though. We went to Great America and Taylor even got to ride on a Bart train. It's kinda like a subway but it's in California. While we were in San Francisco we walked around with my cousin and found some pretty interesting people....lol. There was even this one guy with leather pants on but his butt was sticking out.. He looked like he could have been a biker or something except that he was a total flamer. It ruled!! Then we went to Reno for my great great grandma's 100th birthday party. I can't believe she's really 100 because she looks like she's about 70. She still walks and does things on her own and she wanted to go there so she could gamble. The party was pretty good but me and Taylor didnt get to drink champagne at the toast because the hotel staff was pouring it But there was this guy who worked at the Starbucks inside the place who was sooooo cute My cousin James was totally perving on him, but I dont think he was gay. Anyway he was still hott!! and James had a major crush on him. He kept going back and buying stuff so he could talk to him. I dont really remember much about the flight home because I slept the whole way. I dont even remember taking off from Dallas to Norfolk. I sat down and closed my eyes and when I opened them back up we were in the air, so I just went back to sleep. I studied all day yesterday and today I got my permit That's right....if you live in the Tidewater area you might want to thinnk about staying off the roads for a while... lol j/k ......I think I'm a good driver So anyway, I was excited to see that the anthology was up. I logged on a couple of times when I was in Cali, but we had to go to a library to do it and there was almost a fight between this guy and this woman because he was reading his email out loud and she was sitting next to him and it was bugging her. Also, I got to take Taylor for a walk in my old neighborhood. We had to climb the fence to get on the school grounds at El Vista, but it was worth it. It was just like I thought it was going to be So anyway we're back and I'm totally inspired to start writing again. I already finished a whole short story yesterday and I just need to go back over it to make sure it makes enough sense before I post it...also, Taylor wants to write a story too, but usually he says he wants to do something like that and he never does. We never got to go to Bodega bay, but we're still ready to write the next chapter. The only problem is that i dont know why I picked the city I picked that kevin ended up in at the end of chapter one......I dont really know anything about it... Oh well, I'll still make it work
  16. Dr. Nickolas is writing you a prescrpition....Eat three bowls of grit's with any topping you want a day. Also, have at least one plate of scattered potatoes with onions and cheese and a pound of shrimp a day Don't forget to wash it all down with some sweet tea
  17. lol...no, it was when he tried to reach out for Ryans hand, and Ryan hit him repeatedly in the face. Oh, it's true, it's true :nuke:
  18. Ok, so i'm having a problem, and I'm a little mad at myself because I need help....... I sent in a chapter of My Jump Off to a website, and the webmistress sent me an email back asking for all of the completed chapters. Here's the problem....they have to be in either MS.doc or html format.....I have Word Perfect, so I sent her the first chapter(the one she originally read) in HTML format. Now I can't remember how i did it, and it's been like a week. I'm leaving for Cali tomorrow and I can't send her the other chapters because i don't know how I'm afraid she's gonna give up on me if i don't hurry.....so, here's my question...does anyone know how to resave something in html format???? Otherwise I'm pretty much screwed
  19. I think if i would show anyone it would be my stepmom, but I get the feeling she'd tell my dad and I'd be in deep crap
  20. Sometimes I think Ryan's worse than Connors mom. He knows how Connor was abused, and the last memory Connor has of his mom is of her trying to whore him out, but he still beat him up when they broke up and made him feel worthless.
  21. There was a time when i thought about sharing What's the difference between me and you? with my parents....well, only the begining part right up to my first bus ride to school, but I decided not to because I think the old man would trip out about me knowing he used to smoke weed. As far as my other stuff, maybe I wouldn't mind them seeing Bodega Bay, but it's only one chapter long so far......well, I guess they could see my spring anthology entry too, since there's no sex or anything in it.
  22. My poems, yes......my stories????
  23. Yeah...I have a barracade set up for the goats....just stand over by the stove, will you??
  24. I didn't even think dial up was invented anymore
