Definitely. I don't really mind the incest thing *if* it's written well and written into a story, as opposed to just being incestpr0n, and if it's between similar ages. And yeah, I agree with other folks that the male-female thing manages to tip over onto the taboo side. - dfp

There's lots of ways to love more than one. Even if you're limiting it to romantic love, though, people have more than enough love to share with more than one person. There's a place in my heart that is reserved for my OneTrueLove. He knows that he'll always be The One for me, and I know that I'll always be the same for him. I also know he loves several other people. There are people I could easily grow to love. None of that changes the fact that we are together and a couple if every way that's good and loving.

Hey Dan, I'm enjoying reading all the stories in the pipeline right now, but I have to say - I really loved the characters in Rider's Pride, and I was wondering if there might be any plans for more in that line? - dfp

woooooot

My favorite youtube music videos right now are: KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - showing how she sets up the backgrounds using a time-delay loop in order to do the song solo in a live performance Barbie Girl Lip Sync - A hilarious lip sync video.

I'm currently on a Carrie Underwood kick, but the lyrics to her song "You Won't Find This" really hit me. I don't know if I'm reading something into it, but it really sounds to me like it's about a boy who knows he's gay but grows up and marries and such anyway, and is unhappy. You Won't Find This written by Tom Shapiro and Cathy Dennis sung by Carrie Underwood Did you check the tires Put gas in the car Don't think you'll need too much 'cause you ain't gonna get that far Did you pack the good times Don't forget a map Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back (chorus) You can hold any girl that you like Fall in love when it's easy at night But you'll wake up wonddering why She ain't ever something better When you're lost and you've run out of road Find what I already know In the end close is all there is But you won't find this No, you won't find this Now there's once in a lifetime And there's once in a while And the difference between the two is about a million miles Oh, you might get lucky While the moon is looking on But in the truth of the morning the stars will be long gone (chorus) (chorus)

I don't think it's "weird", but I'm definitely uncomfortable with the idea of kissing friends. I'm not even that comfortable kissing my parents. My kisses are reserved for my OTL.

Love that song. Yeah, me too. I'm listening to it again. I've been listening to Carrie Underwood's "Carnival Ride" album for five days straight now. (Obsessive? Me?) - dfp

ISFJ - 67% 75% 25% 11% You are: * distinctively expressed introvert * distinctively expressed sensing personality * moderately expressed feeling personality * slightly expressed judging personality Some parts of the description (the one by Butt and Heiss, not the one by Keirsey) really fit. * ...for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). (in my case, "Just give me the keyboard, you're typing too slow!") * ...their families are the centers of their lives. (my OTL is my life.) * ...ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones (like taking three months to make a christmas gift O.o) * ...they are often unable to either hide or articulate any distress they may be feeling. (unable to articulate just about any feeling, most of the time)

Even though the colors and sounds and everything were muted, it was still a vividly-felt dream, one that I've had every few months for years. ---- I woke up with the alarm clock, hitting it and wishing I'd gotten rid of it, but it didn't matter anyway. Rolled out of bed, checking that the roomie was really gone before pushing down the sweats I slept in and mechanically getting dressed. Sitting down at the dorm room desk, I realized I didn't even know what I had on. Didn't matter anyway. Looked at the paper on the desk, the scribbles from the last time I'd been to class. Random geometric figures, various renditions of "I hate this", places where I'd blackened the paper with the pen so hard that it had torn holes. Looked from there to the stack of books. Picked up the top one, wondered if I should even bother trying to go to English class today, since I'd only made it twice in the last month. Didn't matter anyway. I was going to fail all my classes and get kicked out of college because of academic probation and it didn't matter anyway. ---- Like I said, it was a vivid dream, if only because of the intensity of the non-emotion. I've never been in this situation. I have no real idea where the dream comes from. The one time I ever fell that far, due to a bunch of stuff all coming down at once, I was suicidal for about a week before I decided I was too much of a wimp to actually carry it out. I didn't want the pain, didn't want to hurt people I cared about. Then sunshine came into my life again in the form of (as Grasshopper writes) my OTL, my one true love, and I've not been down that road in the 16 and a half years since. I guess the only reason I wrote this up is to say that I hope that everyone who's feeling this way can find someone to talk to, someone who can safeguard their trust, help them to see that there are reasons to care about the world, reasons to find a way to get help getting past what they're going through. With love and hope. dfp

Carrie Underwood - Just A Dream

Rafa wins over Nole anyday, looks-wise. But this is gonna be an awesome final, I hope. Djokovic is fast, has great court coverage, and a good variety of ground strokes. Tsonga is fast, has good court coverage, and a great variety of ground strokes. The only question is: Will Tsonga go insane at how slow Djokovic serves before Djokovic goes insane at how fast Tsonga servers?

It's hard to make a button like that without knowing something about the story (e.g. the first one illustrates the fact that he rides motorcycles). The text part is the easy part

Wow, they are really cute. Especially the blonde. Maybe I'll have to start recording this show...

Yesterday, I kissed a boy for the very first time... It was the firs ttime we'd met; we'd only talked on the 'net. Standing there in his hallway, scared of what to do, to say, We looked at one another that long first time together... Me feeling excited, nervous, him closing the space between us, We leaned; our lips toiched at last. I felt like my heart would blast. Now that yesterday is long gone, but the memory still lives on Every time I see that boy, and my heart fills with love and joy.

When I was in high school? In a heartbeat. I was so terrified of being gay that I could absolutely not admit to myself that I really was, and was so guilty about the images that came into my mind during, ahem, night pleasures, that I made myself sick. If there was a magic pill to be normal, I would have done anything for it. In college, after I admitted, to myself at least, that I really was "that way"? Almost certainly. Because I just *knew* my parents would be unhappy, that my mom would be sad at not getting grandkids, that my dad would never speak to me again. After I was introduced to the person with whom I fell in love over the phone, and have lived with ever since? Not a chance. I'd never give up what I have now, and can't imagine not being "me". (And my mom and dad both love him, and, by the way, had known - or at least suspected - I was gay since before I was in high school.) - dfp

If I got onto a snowboard, it probably would kill me! I stay away from things like skis, snowboards, anything that has high possibilities of broken limbs O.o The person below me is going to know that they've forgotten something, but not remember what they've forgotten.

(Edited because I missed the second page when replying the first time) Ewwwwww, what a choice. How about ... Marry Chris Penn (because he's the only normal looking one of the bunch) Kiss ZZ Top, because they're cool Push Vincent Schiavelli off a cliff. Lessee, for my list... Psychologists from the various Law and Order television series: Carolyn McCormick (Dr. Elizabeth Olivet, from the original Law & Order series) B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang, from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) Leslie Hendrix (Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers, from Law & Order: Criminal Intent)

VH1. At least they play videos once in a while. O.o Vegetables! Despite being a fruit, I totally relate to vegetables when I'm on the sofa watching TV. Hmm, how about... Battlestar Galactica - Original series or new Sci-Fi Channel series?

I found GA by following the link from DomLuka's The Log Way and Desert Dropping stories. I was "disappointed" because I immediately read all of those stories (which had been posted in their entirety on GA but were still being doled out to Nifty a bit at a time) - and once I finished reading them, the "disappointment" was that I didn't have that great sense of anticipation and satisfaction of waiting for the next chapter to be posted once a week and reading it. ("disappointment" is, of course, a joke. Being able to read all the other stories by Dom and DK, and eventually Dio and LittleBuddhaTW also, well outweighed that I'd have to wait for more TLW and DD chapters. - dfp

I voted feelings/emotions, in a specific way: I enjoy coming-of-age stories, the way the characters and their relationships evolve as they grow into themselves. But what really makes those kinds of stories "come alive" is empathizing with the characters, which means the author needs to really make the reader feel what the characters are feeling. - dfp

Okay, here's a simple one - "World on Fire in my pants", almost by Sarah McLachlan - dfp

Hello everyone. I've been lurking around GA for a while now, having been lead by the nose from the Nifty archives by the likes of Dan King's "Do Over" and DomLuka's "The Lo(n)g Way". I finally decided it's time to de-lurk - at least enough to get to the mythical 5th post and full forum membership I avidly follow Dan King's non-vampire stories and anything from DomLuka, and recently added Dio Beckstead and LittleBuddhaTW, having read their stuff on Nifty as well. I don't normally participate in forums, really, so I don't know if I'll actually make it to the magical 5th post, but here's my intro anyway. Hi! - dfp

Woot!
