I was on the poll topic about what our favorite Dom story of all time was, and it made me think about Out with Harrison Polk........so, Dom, if you read this, I have a question...... Are you going to start it back up again or is it gone indefinitely. I really enjoyed it a lot, and I'd love to see you pick it back up. Just wondering..................

Lizards are kinda cool.....the only way I'd get a cat was if it was a rat or a mouse......I'm freaked out whenever I see one. Otherwise, just leave it alone....maybe buy him some food(whatever lizards eat) and put some water out for him.

Maybe someday I can get enough people who are willing to stand up for our rights and we can march to Washington and stage real boycots like MLK did. I know there's nothing I can do right now, but in a few years, I think I'll try.

Here's the problem, Little Buddah........ Defense of Marriage Act (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate) --H.R.3396-- H.R.3396 One Hundred Fourth Congress of the United States of America AT THE SECOND SESSION Begun and held at the City of Washington on Wednesday, the third day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six An Act To define and protect the institution of marriage. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Defense of Marriage Act'. SEC. 2. POWERS RESERVED TO THE STATES. (a) IN GENERAL- Chapter 115 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding after section 1738B the following: `Sec. 1738C. Certain acts, records, and proceedings and the effect thereof `No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.'. ( CLERICAL AMENDMENT- The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 115 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1738B the following new item: `1738C. Certain acts, records, and proceedings and the effect thereof.'. SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE. (a) IN GENERAL- Chapter 1 of title 1, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: `Sec. 7. Definition of `marriage' and `spouse' `In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word `marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word `spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.'. ( CLERICAL AMENDMENT- The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 1 of title 1, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 6 the following new item: `7. Definition of `marriage' and `spouse'.'. Speaker of the House of Representatives. Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate. This bill was supported by Democrats and Republicans.....President Clinton (D) signed this piece of garbage. My point in chat was that that Bush is no worse than Clinton was when it comes to gay rights. I haven't heard any of Clintons supreme court nominee's come out and say they were in favor of gay marriage. It's all the same, and I have no respect for anyone who chooses to support either one of the two "Republicratic" party's when it comes to gay rights.

This I'll never be sorry for Having my own opinion Being different from other people Telling someone that they're wrong Demanding facts when somoene tries to change my opinion or prove me wrong Winning political debates in the chat room (and I did rather easily) Well, for everyone who forgot why Myr closed The Soapbox, if you were just in chat with me, you now know why I'm never going to let someone tell me that my opinions are wrong without an argument, and then have them make statements they can't back up with facts. If you want to say someone did something, go ahead. But I wont believe you unless you can provide proof. Things got pretty weird in the chatroom tonight, but who cares?? I'm happy it happened, because I don;t want people to think Im just some dumb kid who cant stand up for himself in a political debate. Everyone just assumes that because I'm gay that I'm automatically supposed to be against our president. Well guess what.........that's not going to happen. I hate stereotypes, and one of the worst ones is that gay=democrat. What have the dems done to earn the support of the gay community?? Have they come out and said they would legalize gay marriage across the nation?? Did they oppose the Defense of marriage act?? Did the democrat who ran for president in 2004 say he wasn't opposed to gay marriage?? It's pathetic, and so is any self respecting gay person who supports the democrats or the republicans. As far as the president goes, I don't support him either when it comes to gay rights and abortion. he's wrong about gay marriage, and the fact that he says he wants to use the constitution to ban gay marriage shows how little he knows about the constitution. The purpose of the constitution is to limit the power of the federal government, not the people that the federal government serves. Of course, this is the same idiot who said that the United States is a democracy. We aren't a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. It's disgusting that our own president doesnt even know that. My point is that as gay Americans, we shouldn't be supporting ether party. Civil Unions are worse than a ban on gay marriage as far as Im concerned because they say that we're "seperate but equal". Sorry, but that's discrimination. The same type of discrimination that blacks went through in the 50's and 60's. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now. I just wish that the gay community had someone like Martin Luther King to wake us up and make us stand up for our rights. We have the right to marry, and we have the right to live free of harrassment and discrimination by our president and congress. Ok, I'm off my rant now. I just get so upset when ignorant idiots try to say that Bush and the republicans are the only ones who hold us down. It's basically turning the other way while the dems do it too. Have a good week everyone I'm off for spring break but I have a feeling that I'm going to have to work a lot. I dont have to go in tomorrow till 4, but then I get to see the schedule for the week and find out what they want me to do (hopefullly, I'm off ) Kisses Nick

[Lugh] Erebi Seeking -- Love it or Hate it
NickolasJames8 replied to Lugh's topic in Promoted Author Discussion Forum
What I love about Jiovani is how he took a sacrafice(doing Hunters job in chapter one) and turned it into a growing sort of experience. I really don't want him to join the guild, and I really want him to be with Micah. My problem is, the way you ended the last chapter, I don't know where you should take it. Everything seems soooo tragic in his life right now. So, I cant wait for an update -

Warning...rant ahead Ok, so I'm at it again. Yesterday someone told me that 20-30 people said I was mean, so I put up a poll (it's still open, btw) and the results are in..........including me, 3 people think I'm mean. One person didn't know who I was and 19 people said I wasn't mean....out of those 19, eight said I was sweeter than July Jelly. So, I'm now asking the "messenger" to please round up these 20-30 people, and have them come vote and also leave comments if they would. I'd like to know what makes me so mean and rotten to the core. Also, I talked to someone in the chatroom tonight and I just wish I could give that person a great big He deserves it. He's such a good friend and he seems like a good person, too. There are a few people here I feel that way about, and I'm glad I got to know him, because now, he's in that category too. I posted my very first piece of poetry tonight. It's a little dark, but I was listening to a song on the radio and it made me think of relationships that are so bad that people can't let go, and out came that poem...I hope you like it, but even if you don't, and you've read it, even if you hate it, please leave me some feedback. Even if its in a pm Kisses Everyone Nick

Well, I dont know about everyone else, but I think GA ought to create a banner that can be posted on other sites....I know I would be willing to put one at the top of my site. They would just need to give us the code in html and it should be simple. Also, talk about GA on other forums. I was on a different forum when one of the members posted about this one. I always mention GA on all the other forums I belong too ( I know I have no life).

Ok, so appearently, I'm mean. This is according to a source who says that 20-30 people have told him that I'm mean. So, I want to know.....is it true?? Be honest, too because if I am, I don't want to be mean. Normally, I don't care what people think of me, and really, if it was just a few people, I wouldnt worry.....but 20-30 is a lot. So, if you're one of those people, and you think I'm mean, please tell me why.

I have a prediction............ Jame is going to go off when he learns that Caleb, Nelson, Joe and Hailey went to that party, and that's when he's going to start following Milo and Nelson around. He'll go to Caleb, Joe and Hailey with what he's found, Caleb will put a stomping on him, and in the middle of trying to break up the fight, Milo and Nelson admit to their relationship. Caleb, Hailey and the goat stop talking to Nelson and Milo, but Joe is supportive. Eventually, the goat realizes that his relationship with Nelson shoudn't suffer because he's gay, but it's too late. The Trusts and Nelsons family (I cant remember their last name) slaughter him and eat him for din din

Where I work we have a radio that plays through the speakers in the cieling, and they always play old rock music. Well, lately, I've been hearing the same song a few days in a row, and I'm really starting to like it. I think it's called Find 100 Ways, but I'm not sure who sings it. Even though it's a breeder song, I still think it's soooooo sweet The other song I always here at work is one that I think is called Just a Song before I go.....it's really good. I know it's all old and stuff, but I think the people who sing it might be gay. But, it's a breeder song too, so maybe not. Either way, I'm on a mission to find these two songs and get my dad to buy the CD's, only to download them later and never actually listen to the CD's I think I might have caught a cold at work too. It was storming yesterday and I had to take people's grocieries out to there cars and then the AC was on in the commisarry and now I'm coughing and sneezing and it's hard to catch my breath I'll get better though Ok,I'm done.... Kisses Nick

warning....not really a rant, but possibly an offensive post ahead I go into chat a lot. I havent been here since last Monday, but I got back on Sat night and went into chat on Sunday afternoon and chatted with someone i really like a lot as a friend. I guess something happened the day before in chat that hurt someones feelings and the person I think of as a friend was involved..... Well, I'm not going to comment on what happened between them, but I know that as a result of whatever happened, at least one person has gone off and said bad things directly to my friend who had nothing to do with the situation, which is why I'm making this post. So, to my friend....... (name edited), don't let ignorant people bug you. I think you're great, and I want you to know that. I wouldn't like going into GA chat as much if you weren't there. I don't know if anyone has told you that, but I am. You make it fun to be here, and I hope you always stick around. Like I said, I don't know what went down, but I don't care. I don't have anything bad to say about you or the person you had it out with. I just want you and everyone else to know that I like you a lot and that I support you. I'm proud to call you my friend and I want everyone who reads this to know that. Don't pay attention to haters who call you names, especially since they have no idea about what actually went down. Personally, I think it sucks that someone wants to leave GA because of what happened, but that's his choice. He'll be missed, I'm sure, but there are lot's of other authors here, and there's the new hosted authors here, too. GA will survive, I'm sure. If we're lucky, though, he'll change his mind and stick around. But, no matter what happens, I just think it's important for my friend to know that he has my support and that I'm down to stand by his side till the bitter end.

You're right...I meant Nelson, not Milo...btw, I like your sigi .......You've almost accepted reality 100%
-
Milo's about to be outed. I have a feeling about it. That's when he's going to have to turn to his support group, Joe and the Goat, along with his family. But I know he'll be ok

Yeah, that second one was pretty gay too
