Wow...this brings back memories. PursaGel, Billy! PursaGel!

You're welcome, luv. I wish I lived closer by. We'd hang out and stuff when shit happens. That's what I try to do for my 'flock' down here in almost Mexico. In the end, we all have to stick together and show the love that we want to get from one another.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to write. I'm glad you are enjoying it with me!

Thank you so much! Yeah, Brandon makes an interesting foil vs. Billy Chase in Comsie's story about him (which I encourage you to read too as it's quite riveting. It brought me to this site! ). Comsie and I have been working together to make this an authentic pairing. Interestingly, and this is where I compare notes with you WE, Brandon is a reflection of myself growing up, so it's semi-autobiographical. I saw me in the boy Billy fell in love with. I saw me like I was looking at yesterday. So I was compelled to write this!

I will occasionally revert to my 1980s youth and put some eyeliner on. I still like the way it makes me look. I went full on this past Halloween in my 'Kitty' costume as my profile pic demonstrates. I put a touch sometimes if I go out dancing. I often get 'noticed' when I do this. I'm not entirely sure if this is 'good' noticed or 'bad' noticed, but I really don't give a flying fig. When I was younger I used to wear cover-up to cover my acne. Later, I just didn't much care anymore, which was sad because I was depressed at the time and for a long time after. A sign of my getting better was that I wanted to use it again. I see wearing makeup as a sign of liberation! Something that I can do and be called 'Gay' and accept that with great pride! I suppose that's also a leftover from the 80s. It was a statement in defiance to the 'Moral Majority'. They wanted to control me...and I wouldn't be controlled!!

Hehehehe! I'm so glad you are enjoying it, Badbart! It was fun to write and so I'm hoping it is as fun to read!

Brian ~~~~~~~~ Well, home again home again, jiggedy jig. Except this time I have a handsome Finnish roommate staying with me who has become enamored of daytime television...particularly The View. What the fuck? Ok, so I'll tell today's tale. It's the first day of my internship at the UCSF Pediatric Brain Center. Orientation took 12 hours today. Meetings with my instructing doctor, meetings with Center Administration to go over rules and policies, meetings to have more meetings. I swear I

Yaaaay!

It is a pity such voices go silent here. They challenge and stimulate our authoring community. It is chilling that such challenges are met with such concern on the Internet.

OHHHH BAAADD! BAAAAAADD! ~starts smacking my head like Rainman~

Holy effing guacamole!

Thank you! Yes, this one is another one of my voices in my head!

Alas, as I put pen to paper I am filled with a sense of stark trepedation. Such an anecdote made solid by the reality of the written word can be and often is a source of evidence. Evidence of things long thought improper or even perverse in our society's appraisal of such. Yet, I am of an age and have been through a time of such challenge that such improprieties seem, at once, absurd as notions of moral accord. The depredations of Herr Hitler and his black bloody minions seem to cast into l

Happy Birthday, Mr. Fashionista!!

This album has inspired my new story The Seashell (https://www.gayauthors.org/story/mrm/theseashell). I think it's the most beautiful concept album I've heard in many years. It is by an artist I've put up before here called Brothertiger. I am blown away by his work! Single: Beyond The Infinite Here is the whole album, Out Of Touch http://brothertiger.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-touch-lp

A Greek Myth, that's where it will go! it won't be one of my longer stories, but I hope it's a fun one. It came to me last week while listen to a new album I bought. Thanks so much for the review!!

Soon! Well...Alexis is going to have an experience no mortal youth has had since togas were all the rage in Athens.

Aww...thank you! Yes, I think Chapter 2 will roll out pretty soon!

Thank you so much! I'm a little verklempt at the moment...your comment touched me so!

My name is Alexis the son of Aristedies, my father, and Zephyra, my mother. We are visiting Chania on the Island of Crete, my family's ancient home. We are visiting our ancient land from America where we moved when I was very young. I am mostly American although I can speak Greek very well and know the ways of Crete. My family here likes to tease me about my American accent in Greek. They tell me it has a 'twang'. I laugh with them, though I do not really get the joke very well. I so very much l

Crete is an ancient land of mysteries and myth. Sometimes myths are not myths at all.
