Disneyland Pt. V (Stranger In A Strange Land)
underthehoodster posted new chapter in Truths and Lies
Room service arrived about the same time as Morgan came out of the bathroom. I wondered if he was wearing anything under his robe, but there wasn't any time to find out. The waiter wheeled in a cart laden with four covered silver platters, pitchers of orange juice and milk, strawberry jam, and hot maple syrup. After that, it was pretty much four ravenous teenagers doing what ravenous teenagers do best. Let's just say it wasn't pretty.... It was nearly 9:30 by the time we all got dressed and -
Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 18 Disneyland Part 4 (The Kinkiest Place On Earth) I woke up with the disquieting feeling that I was being watched. It took me a few seconds to remember where I was. The weak light from Donald Duck's smiling face helped to show me a dim outline of the large room we were in, the wooden ceiling beams now casting long and mysterious shadows that blended into the darkness. I turned my head slightly towards the night light and was startled to see Mor

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 17 Disneyland part 3 (The Karate Master) It was a good thing we put on our jackets because there was definitely a chill in the air as we strolled out of the hotel right onto the main street of Downtown Disney. It seemed like an idea borrowed from Universal Studios up in L.A. where the Citywalk was a popular attraction. It was a combination of open air mall, theater complex, and various upscale and casual dining venues. There were fountains, str

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 16 the Happiest F*****' Place On The Whole Freakin' Earth! After we all exaggeratedly screamed our heads off at the awful Disneyized rendition of the Abominable Snowman, we again had to discuss what to do. It always seemed to be Tom against Morgan, with Jesse game for anything and me getting stuck making a decision. I wanted so much to please everyone, and I also didn't want Jesse to get sick from too many roller coaster rides. Knowing that someone

Finally, finally, finally!!! It was Sunday morning, and I rushed to get dressed and pack a few things for our one night stay. My mom had once again ironed my pajamas and I dutifully stuffed them in my overnight bag. While I hadn't ruled out wearing them to bed, I didn't want to be the only guy there in pj's either. At least by packing them, I'd make my mom happy. I had carefully considered my wardrobe for the long and exciting day ahead, deciding that layers would be best since it would

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 14 The End Of a Long Day Gary and Theresa were already waiting in the old, exhaust spewing Nissan, so I got in the back seat, but it didn't seem like we were ready to leave yet. "How you doing, sweetie?" Theresa asked with sincere concern. "I'm okay. I felt really bad for Jesse yesterday, but at least we all got a chance to talk today, and I think maybe we're gonna get past it just fine. He's really strong." "That's good," Gary noted. "Jess

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 13 A Jolly Good Fellow Dinner was great. It seemed that Jesse and my mom had come to some unspoken understanding, at least for the time being, and whatever the consequences of our deceptions and Jesse's violent past, they would apparently wait until next week to be pronounced. After dinner, my mom produced a small birthday cake covered in chocolate icing with a single, thick blue candle in the middle. Much to my eternal ,embarrassment everyone sang

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 12 Truths Or Lies While I wasn't keen on the idea of replacing the watch I had lost, my mom insisted we stop by the jeweler. We perused the glass cases, visually sifting through dozens and dozens of men's watches. But as soon as my eyes fell on it, I knew it was the one: the Tag Heuer 2000 Chronograph with three subdials, a calendar, a tachometer, and a stainless steel case. My mom asked to see it and the balding man with the pencil thin mustache

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 11 My mom waited in the car while I went upstairs to retrieve Jesse and his sister. It was already eleven thirty. After returning from my bike ride, I took a long shower (my foot was really dirty!). Then I showed my mom the crucifix Jessica had given me but not the friendship band. Fortunately, she hadn't noticed that I had come home with one sock missing! I tossed the odd one out and got a new pair. It was a clear but cool December day, and I

Remarkably, I managed to sleep the rest of the night like a rock. It wasn't until I heard someone knocking at my bedroom door that I groggily came back to some form of consciousness. "Huh?" I croaked, glancing at the alarm clock. It was eight twenty. I wouldn't have minded sleeping in a little longer... "Perry, dear?" my mom asked. "Uh...yeah...come in," I said, pushing myself into a sitting position against the headboard. My chest was still a little sore from where Craig had

I woke up with a dull headache. There was something wet and cold on my head and I reached up, quickly realizing that it was a washcloth draped over my forehead. I was lying on the sofa in the den with my sneakered feet propped up on a pillow. I must have fainted at the sight of my sweet angel--how embarrassing! "Earth to Perry..." a raspy voice whispered close to my ear. I turned my head, only to discover that made the ache worse. But there was Jesse, kneeling by my side, an intens

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 8 Hode Ranch Part III He seemed to recognize me as well despite my hood, and the cold and cocky look on his boyish face was replaced first by confused recognition and then...annoyance? "You boys ready to mix it up?" Gus asked. My totally ad libbed reply was a resounding belch full of the potently sweet and sour taste of beer. "I betcha this one won't last a minute!" the Karate Kid sneered in a smug, but undeniably youthful voice. "Word is

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 7 Hode Ranch Part II I didn't know what I was expecting, but it was just a simple office-type room, almost like a small reception area might look at a doctor or dentist's establishment. The room was carpeted and there were light panels in the ceiling. There was a functional steelcase desk with nothing but a clean green blotter on it. There was a small sofa and an upholstered chair taking up the opposite wall, again, much like a waiting area. The

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 6 Hode Ranch Part I We drove through an uncharacteristically dense forest of tall pine trees--mostly spruce and cedar, broken up by an occasional grove of gnarled California Oak. While it was still theoretically twilight, driving through those woods, it seemed like the blackest part of the night. Every towering trunk and hanging branch seemed to exude sinister intentions. At last, the trees started to thin out and our headlights illuminated a large

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter V The Road To Hode Ranch I was somewhat dismayed to see the tired and worn looking Nissan Sentra pull up to where I was standing. It was mostly black, but had some gray patches where body parts had been replaced without a matching paint job. But it wasn't so much the way it looked that worried me as much as the way it sounded. The brakes squealed and the engine ran roughly, occasionally lapsing into brief coughing spells before sputtering bac

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 4 Perry Thompson And The Haircut Of Doom I woke up the next morning thinking it had all been another crazy dream. There had been no Fed-Ex package. There had been no big emotional scene. As I showered and dressed, I smiled thinking about all the things Jesse and I had done yesterday. Somehow, every minute I spent alone with him seemed, in retrospect, magical. I even loved it when we cried together! I wished that I had taken some pictures of him, a

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 3 The Package "Expecting company?" Jesse asked curiously. I looked at him in confused astonishment and slowly shook my head. The doorbell rang again, this time accompanied by a light knocking. Jesse immediately dashed off into the foyer to investigate, probably taking a look through the peephole. I reluctantly slipped my throbbing dick back into my boxers, climbed down the stairs and stuffed my legs back into my Dockers. Jesse, still beautiful

Part V Truths and Lies Chapter 2 Magic Time It was with a great sense of relief early Tuesday morning when I saw Jesse waiting for me in the parking lot, next to the somber grey-white statue of St. Boniface himself. My sweet angel looked absolutely beautiful, his shiny, golden blond hair contrasting nicely with his light blue polo shirt, black Dockers, and black Vans. I knew I was smiling like a crazy person but I just couldn't help it and vaguely hoped that no one would notice

Chapter 1 Tunafish Salad And Mountain Dew Dear Jesse, you won't believe all the stuff that happened while you were gone! Gees, it started right away on Thursday night when Josh and Derrin slept over along with my Uncle Ron. Well, Josh slept with Uncle Ron in the guest room and Derrin slept in my room. Derrin told me that his parents were having problems and stuff (I won't go into all that here, but you probably figured that out already anyway). We played video games and then he sle

Part V Truths and Lies Prologue I was recently doing some research into the nature of the so called mid-life crisis, to see if indeed, that was the proper term to describe my current sense of global disorientation. I happened upon this curious piece of information: the word 'crisis' in Chinese, consists of two characters, one representing 'danger' and one representing 'opportunity;' therefore, crisis='dangerous opportunity.' When considering this bit of philological trivia in combinat

Perry (A fairly rich kid who always seems to be in some sort of trouble) and Jesse (A poor kid who is a blackbelt and has a bad past reguarding his previous schools and his father) find love for each other after Jesse moves to Perry's school from another city.

Part IV Brothers Epilogue re: Satlink 5/19/34 9:02 p.m. PST Burbank, CA, USA/Tai Pei, Taiwan sc:5079383056dat30_630GSatnet0042LR206 (I have omitted the name of my wife for now--even though that name is as fictional as all the others in these memoirs--because I prefer to reveal her identity in the context of the story as it unfolds. I've replaced her name with a random number of ******'s.) Jesse had sent me a text note saying that he'd link up with me at 9:00 p.m. PST. To sa

Part IV Brothers Chapter 16 A Visit With Tom Pt. 3 (Confessions Of An Artist Under Suspicion) My blood curdling screams of agony finally got Tom's attention. He let the whole front of my foot slip out of his mouth. There was drool streaming down his chin. His eyes had that wild, unfocused look that told me that he was much more involved with what was going on inside rather than outside at the moment. His face stretched into that very same grimace I had seen at my house,

Chapter 14 A Visit With Tom Pt. 2 (You Show Me Yours And I'll Show You Mine) It was much bigger than I expected--really big and long. I realized that Tom's room was the whole front of the second floor. There were the three gables I had seen from the yard, with bright sunshine streaming in and reflecting off the smoothly polished wooden floor. I could immediately see that the large area was unequally divided into two parts--maybe a third of it was Tom's bedroom, with a desk and c

Part IV Brothers Chapter 14 A Visit With Tom Pt. 1 When I opened the blinds in my bedroom on Sunday morning, it looked nice and sunny outside, but my mom warned me that it was colder than it looked. Not only did she turn out to be right, the wind was also starting to build into powerful gusts, and that made it feel even chillier. We got to church a half hour early again for my mom's choir practice. It was a strange feeling to realize that I actually didn't want to see so
