    Story

    ‘So, there’s never been a Pride parade in this area before?’ Adam asked, looking at Juha from the passenger seat. ‘Like, not ever?’ ‘Nope.’ Juha smiled, glancing quickly at his boyfriend before returning his eyes to the road. ‘We’re in the Bible belt, here. It’s not like people are violently homophobic, but an actual parade has taken some planning. Thankfully, the city council is sympathetic.’ ‘Wow . . . first ever Pride parade . . .’ Adam shook his head. ‘And you haven’t marched in a Pr
  2. It's been almost a year since Juha met Adam on his little beach in Finland. Now Adam has come over from America to stay, just in time for Juha's home town's first ever Pride parade. It becomes a day to remember.
  3. The HU is the Mongolian metal band who use traditional instruments and throat singing that you didn't know you needed. But you do. Trust me. This will enrich your life.
  4. Morning, DiC! Hope all have a good Sunday!
  5. Off to bed. Have a lovely evening, everyone! ❤️
  6. Hey, all! Hope you're well. Paul wanted to get out of the house so we went out for Indian street food at a place called Holy Cow. My eyes are bigger than my stomach... I only managed about half of what I ordered, lol! Now back home. Have been working on a short story I may post today, if I find it polished enough.
  7. I like it when people let their lawns grow wild. It's pretty. We have a lawn here. The landlords mow it maybe three times per summer or something. The bumblebees love the clover, the bunnies enjoy the dandelions, and there are wild strawberries down in the driveway.
  8. It's okay to whine sometimes among friends.
  9. It was. Time for bed. Night, all!
  10. Hey, everybody. I've had a busy day. Went out with my mum. We went out for Middle Easter mezah (like tapas just, well, Middle Eastern, lol) and then we went to the ballet. I had a nice time. Hope you're all well!

    This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Wayne! ❤️

    Time

    When I did the final proof for this last night, I already knew what was coming (as I helped edit the whole thing a few months back). I knew it was coming. Still cried when Nate did. It's his moment with Chris that really gets me. I remember reading it the first time and realising how there was so much more depth to Nate than I'd thought.

    Jealousy

    Similar expressions have been used elsewhere, though. When I was in high school, the chamber choir sang a really old Italian song, the title of which translated to, 'This is how I wish to die', and the death in that song very much referred to sex and orgasm. There is also a Swedish song by a composer named Carl Michael Bellmann from the 1700s, a very erotic piece where death is also used as a metaphor. (So is 'hold my violin'...)
  15. Morning, DiC! Sunny and warm here today, as of yet, but at 3 a thunderstorm hits. Won't be as dramatic as the ones some of you get on your side of the pond, but all the same. I love thunderstorms, so I'm quite looking forward to it. Hope you all have a good day! Thank you! <3
  16. I'm off to bed, folks. Editing the next chapter of Fleeting Eternity before sleep. I think Wayne will be posting in the morning. It's a great one! Goodnight.
  17. Okay, thanks. I'll see if I can manage something. If I can't, I can't. It's a difficult subject...
  18. Took me a moment at first, too, to be fair. lol @Mikiesboy, when's the deadline again? I wanted to write something but it's not been coming... But maybe I can still put something together if I have time.
  19. Hehe, sorry. Made me laugh so I felt an overwhelming need to share with people who might actually get the joke.
  20. If we do it in late July, I can totally answer it from the sauna. I’ll be at the cabin in Finland then.
  21. I'm going to Finland with my parents for a couple of weeks late July. We have a summer cabin in the woods but walking distance from the beach, so that's always lovely. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has to work. In August I have a week pass to a music festival here in town which, sadly, again will be without boyfriend because I bought it before I knew he would definitely be living here... I feel like the worst boyfriend ever, lol! But we'll do nice things together when he does have time off.
  22. You forget; I'm Finnish as well as Norwegian. I can answer two questions, it's cool.

    Julie

    Julie’s mum is pretty awesome. And Luke’s all right for a nine-year-old. I originally planned on his being a brat about it, but he had his own plan. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

    Same to you! And I will not comment on potential future developments.

    Loz

    Faggot is used with increasing frequency in the UK as well among younger people. Often seen as a stronger term than older slang.
