It's a good start. I look forward to reading more about what went down between Asher and his "best friend", Jaime.

I miss 'Queer As Folk'. It was such a good show and you caught the essence of Brian. I can actually picture the scenario you wrote playing out because I know the characters so well. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Welcome to GA, jcswift! There are a ton of author's on GA who I like to read: Dark, Rob Colton, Sasha Distan, Cassie Q, Cole Matthews and that's only a few from my long list of author's. Pick a random story and enjoy! You'll end up with a list of your own favorite author's and stories, who you'll enjoy reading over and over again.

I have several movies but the one at the top of my list is Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves. One of the worst movies I'd ever had the misfortune of ever knowing existed. I love Keanu but this movie blows. I actually wanted my money back because I saw it at the movie theater.

Best: What would you like for breakfast tomorrow morning? Worst: Are you from Tennessee 'cause your the only ten I see

Thank you, Cole, Daddydavek and slytherin!! Your well wishes are exactly what I need at a time when I'm feeling defeated. I'm actively looking for new employment but I really have my heart set on the job of my dreams. I hoping the tide will change and I finally get what I need... a peace of mind because I do deserve better treatment.

Thanks, Zombie, I take all the good luck you send my way! Retail is shitty and I can't wait to leave the industry. I do however have a knack for selling though and that part I will miss. One of the places I've applied is the job I've wanted since the beginning of the year and they're now hiring. I have my fingers crossed that I'll receive a phone call to setup an interview. I'm hoping for the best!

Thanks, Irritable1! It is awful but I'm hoping to change things around ASAP.

For the past few months, I've had the misfortune of having to work three jobs to keep my head above water financially. This is getting increasingly harder to do now that one job is done for the summer season and the remaining two are constantly cutting back on hours. I've worked almost 50 hours a week sometimes working two jobs a day for three months. But now I find myself barely working twenty hours combined for the last two weeks. How am I supposed to pay bills and rent when my jobs are taking hours away due to "budget cuts" but are hiring new employees every week? One job refuses to turn the AC on past 70 degrees. Hello, that's warm air you have blowing in the store. It only gets worse because the front door is constantly opening, letting in the hot air from outside, making it almost unbearable to stand there without getting a headache or feeling faint. Then add the amount of bodies in the store at any given time only adds to the muggy feeling in the store. No matter how many people complain about how warm and uncomfortable the store is the store manager refuses to turn the AC down a few degrees. This same store manager told me he couldn't give me the vacation time I requested to go to a family reunion in Maryland. Okay, I was upset but I accepted it. That's until I look at my schedule and realize he gave me four out of the six vacation days I requested. WTF!!!!!! Which means not only do I miss the reunion because I'm working the days I need to travel to Maryland but now I have the week off from work. I can't stand this place! This place is concerned about the most trivial things except for taking care of their employees. I wish I could mention the store's name but I don't want to risk getting in trouble. One thing I can say: if I didn't need the little money I'm making I would've told the store to kiss my ass as I walked out the door. I'm frustrated and angry that this is where my life is at this point in time. I'm stressing so hard because I haven't made enough money to pay my rent for July. What am I to do? I don't want to ask my mom because she has her hands full already with my dad who's been sick on and off for the past few years. I don't want to move back home but I don't want to get evicted either because my jobs suck ass! I've already placed applications at new places and are hoping to hear back soon. I would like things to work out for me just once this year. I need a save and I need it soon!

Thank you, joann414. I take your hugs and wrap myself warmly in them. It's good to know others have the same concerns as me. Now, I don't feel so alone in my thoughts. I'm happy I found GA, otherwise, I wouldn't have an outlet to get my thoughts and concerns out when I need to, like in my blog. Having others read and understand where I'm coming from is cathartic. I'm able to lose myself here when I need to escape the harsh realities in my world. I love reading the amazing stories by the amazing authors on this site. I love that I'm also able to escape in my own writing. I may not be the most popular writer on this site but those few who are following my story, I write for them. They're interested and that's all that matters to me. So, I'll keep writing no matter what. As to the latter, I hope that I can find someone to share my life with like you and your husband. To find someone who keeps me grounded but allows me to go crazy when I need to. I need that. I have my fingers crossed that I'll find it. Don't worry, you weren't rambling at all. You wrote exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!

I recently suffered the loss of an aunt. It was unexpected and hard to deal with. Ever since I was little, I've had a problem with the thought of death. My first experience came with the passing of my grandpa (my dad's dad). This was the first and only funeral, I've attended in the almost 38 years I've been alive. At the time of his passing, "Thriller" was in heavy rotation on MTV and the radio. So think of it from my POV, I'm six years old, and I'm watching my grandpa being lowered into the ground. I freaked the fk out. I thought he was going to be one of those scary people who crawled out of the ground like in the video. I never properly healed from that. To this day, I cannot watch "Thriller". I've had several family members pass over the years. I've found it difficult to pay my respects and honor them by being at the funerals for them and the rest of the family. I feel like crap for not being there but what else can I do? I know if I go, I'll have a severe panic attack. But I don't want anyone to know that because then, I'll feel like a freak. My father was recently in the hospital. He was released last week. I worried more about him this time around because he's older and it takes longer for him to recover. I hated seeing him hooked up to the machines but it's better than the alternative. I'm at that stage in life when I see my parents and dread the thought of losing either one of them. They are loved dearly by me, my older sister, younger brother, and my precocious 11 yr. old niece (grandpa's baby girl). I love my family and I have a hard time knowing that any minute, they will cease to exist, and that saddens me beyond words. I worry about my own mortality because I haven't accomplished anything worthwhile. Before I leave this mortal plane, I want to do something memorable. I know my family and friends love me and some people don't have that in their lives, so why should I complain. Because I want something more. I should be married or in a committed relationship, at least, but I'm not. I haven't been part of a couple in what seems like eons. My life right now consists of working three jobs, writing and that's about it. I need to do more with my life before I leave this Earth. What should I do? Watch as the rest of my life passes me by or go out there and do something that makes me happy. I'll have to go out and see what I come up with. I've had my eye on my coworker for a while. I think he's feeling me too. Who knows? I might be part of a couple again. I don't want to be an old spinster, like Miss Havisham. Please, don't let me end up like her. Sorry, if this reads like I'm rambling. I just had to get these thoughts out of my head.

I want to change my last review about Deoran. I'm thinking now he might be the one to help Kurt open up to Tahryn. Let me know if I'm on the right track.

I smell something amiss in the horizon with the introduction of the new character, Deoran. He seems similar in certain aspects to Tahryn if I was reading the chapter correctly. If you do what I think you're gonna do, people are not going to like you for awhile.

I'm having such a blast reading your story. To have Kurt bid for Tahryn in wolf form and then have Tahryn bid for Kurt in human form was genius. There's an obvious connection between the two, but it's them finding that middle ground that's going to take time. Tahryn seems to understand that even though he may submit to Kurt's wolf doesn't necessarily make him less dominate or else he wouldn't have made the bid. Kurt on the other hand doesn't seem to realize that fact. There's so much more to both of them and I'm eagerly awaiting the upcoming chapters to see how the story continues to unfold. I love it! Thanks for a great chapter!

It's a good start. I like it thus far. I found myself lost at certain points and had to reread to understand but I do like your story. I agree with knotme. Once you're able to get a handle on your main characters, it'll get easier for you to write them convincingly. You could benefit from having an editor or a beta reader but that's up to you. I hope you continue to write 'cause I would like to see the direction you choose to go. Good luck!

Yay, Eli told Noah, he loved him but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. There are so many scenarios playing out in my head as to where this story is heading and I'm driving myself crazy. I'm looking forward to next Wednesday!

Thank you. I'm hoping it will be.

After one the worst years of my life last year, I look to 2014 with a new attitude and a new fondness for life. 2013 brought about the loss of a friend (they didn't die), an unexpected emergency surgery and the length of my hair. The friend, I'd mentioned in a past blog I'd written, is still a sore spot with me because I never received the closure, I felt I was owed from my ex-friend. I've seen this person but I was in a rush to get to catch the last bus for me to get home. I saw her and I know she saw me but after trying to talk to her multiple times over the year, I kind of treated this moment the way she had prior and pretended I didn't see her. Childish?...most definitely. Did it help? No, not in the least. I still miss hanging out with her and would love for there to be a resolve. Not only for my peace of mind but for her too. Then we can go our separate ways and be familiar strangers. Does that make sense? I'd rather be cordial rather than trying to avoid situations or events that this other person could possibly be. The unexpected surgery throw me for a serious loop. I'd written about that in another blog too. Over the last two years or so, I'd experienced lower back pain that always ripped me from my sleep. It took hours before the pain would subside and I was able to function. Nothing seemed to help the pain except time. The only thing I could do was lie on the couch and try to find a comfortable position. I'd gone to the emergency room a total of four times before I got an actual diagnosis. The surgery had me out of commission for nearly a month and I actually found myself kind of depressed. I was unable to work and that put a huge financial strain on me, I'd just moved to a new townhouse two months prior. Not making money made it hard to pay my portion of the rent and my roommate was awesome in helping pay a little extra. I'm still trying to play catch up. I'm enjoying my new digs and hoping the job interview I have on Monday will lead to another job and make things better. The only good thing to come from the surgery was the way I had to approach eating food. Since this happened, I've lost nearly forty pounds and the weight is still coming off. YAY! My hair has paid a huge price. I stressed so much over everything over the year that my hair fell out in patches. My hair normally shoulder length had to be cut to almost an inch to accommodate for the hair that I'd lost. I'm hoping that once the stress has alleviated that my hair will once again start to grow. FINGERS CROSSED!!!!! What do I want for the new year? To not have a repeat of what happened last year. No more losing friends, no more surgeries and definitely no more losing hair (IT SUCKS!). Plus, I'm hoping to start up a little something, something with my crush, Chad from work. He's so fine. I hope the new year brings about all the changes you'd like to make for yourselves.

Thanks, Lisa! Your opinion means a lot to me. I anticipate reading a review from you. I like Jeff Foxworthy too but his name was the first one to pop into my head and it helped with the flow. I'm onto chapter nine.

Walking into the house, I hear Ma talking on the phone in the kitchen. Not in any hurry for her reaction to my eye, I hang back and listen. “Chris is working half days at the office and at-home to help with the packing. I’m working my last two weeks from home, and Skyping in on conference meetings. I'll only go in if there's a problem that I can't fix over the phone,” she pauses. “Yeah, we’ll arrive in Boston on Sunday, not this upcoming Sunday, but the next. The movers are driving

So happy you posted this story here, I've read this story on another site and look forward to any changes you might add or take away. I would wish you luck with this one but you won't need it because it's an awesome story. The relationship between the two main characters Parker and Colton is so strong and well-written. Oh hell, all the characters relationships are well-written. You'll get a few more fans from this story who may not be familiar with some of your other work.

Loved this chapter! I was waiting for the moment when Eli and Derek would meet for the first time and you didn't disappoint. Derek doesn't have the right to try and buy Eli off. Derek is the one who cheated on Noah, dumped him for someone younger and then wants to sell the home they shared together, so he doesn't get to have a say in anything Noah or Eli do. I really enjoyed the quick comebacks Eli throw Derek's way...priceless. I'm patiently waiting for chapter 16.
