That's a good point, Christine is a good egg, bumpy parts on her chest notwithstanding. As for a Scandal, not sure if that's even a word I understand. I can honestly say I never heard that Bowie song. Haven't ever been a fan. I can say I first heard a song a long time ago, My First Trip To Mars by a band called Atticus Fault. They had a minor hit with it maybe in the late ninities. That song is not about being gay, but I have always changed the words to make it gay. I've been referencing my first trip to mars ever since. Are you sure about that? Doesn't he say he's just interested in doing gay things with a certain gay boy? Maybe he's hetroflexible She will go down in history with that distinction.

Oh, and I’d be happy to host you for thanksgiving. Though in my house clothing is optional, but for me mandatory 😜😜😜

Fried peanut butter and bannana sandwich’s are a different story. And something I find disgusting. my fried banana hail from South Asia, and my peanut butter sauce has ginger, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, peanut butter. Salt, not the same thing!

Bah, I never like Thanksgiving anyway. I don’t like any of the food that comes with a traditional thanksgiving dinner. if someone ropes me into it, I always make honey roasted chicken, Mac and cheese, fried asparagus, spinach salad, and fried banana with a peanut butter glaze. good news for rod j

Devin Jenkins sat on his younger brother’s bed as he played Red Dead Redemption 2 while Tyler Scott looked on boredly as he scrolled on his phone. Tyler asked, “Where’s your brother again?” “He’s staying at a friend's house tonight and my parents are at some benefit for something,” Devin explained for the fourth time as he concentrated on stalking the ever elusive moose in the video game. “When are we leaving for the movie?” “In like thirty minutes,” Devin said as he gave up and

Family dynamics have always been a fascination of mine. I’ve seen families who openly hate one another yet they stay in the middle of that chaos because their family. So I wanted to explore that a bit in this story. Should you stay because you’re related or is there a point when you should just cut them out of your life for your own sanity.

You can't get over Brandon and his smellypants. Brandon and his situation gets more detail and clarification later on, maybe. The scene with Dylan and Billy was a very late edition, I think last week or maybe the week before. I wasn't sure if I wanted to include it or not. And the first version ended differently, but I didn't think it fit the tone so I altered it a bit. I might have changed it after even @Lee Wilson had looked at it. To show you how bad it is with me constantly changing things, Chapter One got a re-write yesterday, I needed something to work in chapter one to foreshadow something in part two. Part One consists of 21 chapters, for now. Part 2 TBD. Not sure if part two will be gigantic or if I'll break it into two parts. The plan is for three parts, 20ish chapters each. But I'm not normal and change my mind constantly.

With parents, sometimes everyone is caught in a cycle of their own making. Its like not being able to see the forest due to the trees blocking your view.

I just sent you a DM before you said this. So disregard my rambling plea, It was just explaining my mania in greater detail.

It's the whole triangle device, Carey with Harper, then Carey with Bell, and the aftermath. There was so much meat on the bone in that storyline, you have basically two short chapters dealing with it and then Carey moves on because that was the story you were telling. My story is based on that idea, but it's not a stepping stone in my characters life, it's the defining weekend that sets in motion the rest of his life. I am planning on giving you credit as I freely admit I stole the idea from your story. J

So I knew you were going to do this, I didn't not think you could have topped your first one, but you did. My cap is doffed. J

The sun had already slipped behind the mountain, but not before giving one last burst of warmth to the valley floor. As if to say, for now you’ve won, but I shall return tomorrow. As the last ray of light disappeared into the September sky, the mild temperatures plummeted to the mid-fifties. All across the valley, children rushed inside to escape the weather as smoke rose lazily into the sky from hundreds of chimneys that guaranteed a haven of warmth inside the four walls. As if to taunt th

Hmm, 22 wasn't finished. Just FYI, if you see anything that is highlited orange, that means I am not happy with that part and haven't "finalized" it yet. But thank you in all seriousness,

I love this, I saw this last night on the train but I couldn't respond because I forgot my reading glasses. I hereby challenge you to bring us a wonderful poem based on each chapter?!!!!! Just kidding, J

Good then finish chapter twenty and twenty one. 😜

Thats his way of saying he doesn't want anything to do with parts 2 or 3. 😜 I think editing this part almost broke him.

I'm not going second after either one of you.

I am very slutty, or was before I got married, now I'm only slutty with him. But the principle is the same, I haven't forgotten my slutty nature. Brandon is kind of slut, who knows what type Tyler turns out to be.

Um, I was first

What are the stakes? J

This might have been the funniest thread I've read in a long time.

I didn't do anything to prepare. I'm going to make a confession. For the last ten years, I have flatly refused to change time. I don't spring forward, I don't fall back. I stay the same no matter what the rest of your weirdos do. So I've been on this time zone now for a while. When everyone else thought it was 9am yesterday, I was on 10am time. It gets a bit confusing for my friends and my husband, but I don't care. My guests at my restaurant were very confused when I opened at 11am my time and everyone else was mistakingly thinking it was noon. But after a month or so, people caught on and it's kind of a san francisco thing that I'm known as the restaurant out of time. It's weird and different just like me. J

I am glad the personal tragedy of my younger self can be amusing for you! 😜 😜. Considering all these stories are based on me and my friends, expect many more examples of stupidity. Matter of fact, expect them Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Book 1 has 21 chapters,

My first real relationship/boyfriend that lasted longer than a few weeks, when he was a child/teenager, would create power point presentations to convince his parents why he needed "X". He would put so much effort into why he needed a new X-Box, his parents would eventually give in. I felt it fit the family dynamic in this situation. In the next chapter, we get to see more about how and why Brandon lives the way he does. As for Tyler's parents, they are the parents I desperately wanted/needed when I was seventeen. That being said, Tyler needs to have a good home life for the challenges ahead. I think many of us had that teenage friend that didn't shower frequently, my friend was named Jake. The first time Jake and I fooled around, it was in the church's parking lot. Somehow we got onto the subject of jerking it, and he pulled his out. He smelled so bad, I could smell him on my hand later that night when I was sleeping in bed. He might have showered once a week, and yes, I was that dumb horny gay boy that continued to play around with Mr. Smellypants until his family moved away a year or so later. While Jake and our antics aren't really featured in this story beyond the inspiration for Brandon's smelliness, who knows if I will revisit that well sometime in the future/past. (that's a hint for what's in the pipeline concerning Glacier Bay and it's inhabitants)

I had debated on whether or not to include it, but @Lee Wilson convinced me. So there's just another thing we have to thank Lee for. J
