I like to eat. Sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes both. The person below me is not religious.

Shangri La, but I'd settle for Icheon, South Korea. If you were God for ten minutes, what would you do?

Well, the actress is really 14, so that should be acceptable.

A very merry day of existence to you.

I wouldn't say it's a usual hobby of mine, but I do enjoy sitting in nature and watching wildlife from time to time. The person below me likes meat. (Get your mind out of the gutter, spawnling. )

Morgan Freeman. It doesn't matter that he looks nothing like me, how could he possibly steer my life wrong? If we were going for a celebrity who looks something like me, I'd choose Penn Jillette. Back when I had long hair and before Penn lost a lot of weight, I could have been his stunt double. Same Q

It depends on what you classify as 'sex'. If you're referring exclusively to anal/vaginal penetration then yes, I am still a virgin. If you're referring to oral, I have a wealth of experience. Penetration isn't really one of my interests, either giving or receiving, though my first boyfriend and I were close to reaching that point for his sake when he passed away. Either way, you're definitely not alone. I have a number of friends my age and older who are virgins, and it simply happens to end up that way sometimes. I would blame it on the culture of sexual repression for the past few centuries which we're only starting to break out of. Hell, the kids I grew up with in Mormonville didn't even know what sex was!

How'd you know? Am I the one under surveillance now? The person below me is on GA while at work.

Not yet, but there are a few I really want and one day plan to get. Same Q

Wow, Tim. I am definitely a fan. It only took me, what, three hours to read this because of life getting in the way? I kept coming back for more, though, eager to find out what was going on. You painted the scenes beautifully, and certainly transported me to the places you described. Marvelously done.

I pretty much like the same things year round, though I do look forward to eggnog come winter. Same Q I missed it again. But now I'm going to answer it, so there. The first kind of tea I tried was a peach black tea on my LDS mission is South Korea. it was delicious, but against our religious ethics so I had to stop drinking it. That is blissfully no longer an issue.

I'm looking for help on researching something in Japanese for a story, as what I'm looking for doesn't seem to exist on the English-speaking web. Anyone out there an expert on Japanese culture or able to search Japanese sites?

I believe the answer to your Phoenix question is coming up in the text, though I could be wrong. Just in case I am, a phoenix on their first life will age to maturity, and then remain that age until killed by an external source. Tristan counts as one of these. A phoenix who has been reborn will usually age normally. Nevala is . . . special. Micah is definitely trying to change, now, though it may take him awhile. He's had a hard life and has a lot of baggage to sort through. I'll have to keep my lips sealed about Jacob and Kurt. Saying anything would risk major spoilers. Thanks for the review!

I tried to make it easier on them by creating Indrus Krane, a shapeshifter who hunts shapeshifters. As it is, I still don't know how you'd be able to recognize one unless you had some sort of supernatural sense, or maybe they smell different? Perhaps giving lycanthropes and edge? I don't entirely remember how I handled it, as this was all written over a year ago. Tristan sure has had a hard hand dealt to him, but he's also in the company of some very strong and amazing people who can do a lot for him. Hopefully he'll make it through. Thank you for the review. It totally made my day.

And would you believe it came out of almost nothing? I was very happy with this story once I finished it, and I actually ended up losing a friend because of it... I still can't quite wrap my head around why it happened, either. I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the review.

Welcome, Dylan. Welcome, Starfire.

At the AVEN forums we greet new members with cake. I greet your potential picture with cake.

One final thank you to everyone who posted after my last thank you. You're all awesome.

The door to the cafeteria opened slowly as Kurt and Jacob walked through, hand in hand and thoroughly entranced by each other. Luke was the first to address them as they came into the room. “I’m glad to see that the two of you made it back safely. Did you have a nice trip?” Kurt glanced back and blinked several times before he blushed and replied, “You could say that. But it is good to be back. These old bones can only take so much time camping in the woods, and three weeks was pushing it.”

As a devil, I only have fallen angels looking out for me.

replace 'meetings' with 'work' and you've certainly got me pegged. The person below me wishes they had somewhere exciting to go this weekend.

I work for the guy who has made the best sugar cookies in the state for the past twelve years. But I prefer his peanutbutter cookies with chocolate fudge icing. And dammit, why do I always miss the tea questions? Same Q

If only Michael had decided to approach Moondoggie Chet instead of assuming the worst. I'm sure with how good a person Chet is, he'd be sure to help Michael convince Kendall of his true feelings. But instead that instinctive mistrust brought on by jealousy keeps him away. Michael's mother is an absolute saint. Every word out of her mouth is another reason to keep reading. That Candy girl sure moves on quickly... Geez, one month and she's already engaged to some asshole? Damn that was a nice ending. I'm glad I don't have to wait for the next chapter!

I love the way you handled the physical response of Kendall seeing Michael again. I've been through a similar situation before, and that was definitely exactly how it felt, both physically and emotionally. I don't know that I've ever been on the other side of the situation, but the way your wrote Michael's reaction gave me some insight into how it must be. And then the scene that follows... astounding. The emotion behind the dialogue is fantastic, and certainly perfect for the situation. I'm amazed by the venom you were able to put in Kendall's words when he first confronts Michael, and then the devastation in Michael afterward... very well written. I wasn't sure how I felt about Chet before, but now I really like him. He's doing the honorable thing, and supporting his friend. That's what a good person does, and I'm very impressed by him. He could have definitely taken advantage of Kendall, and I'm glad he didn't. I'm a little concerned about Michael's mental state, what with his willingness to eat cereal with orange juice and then brush his teeth after. No matter what level of masochism you've reached, nothing is worth orange juice and toothpaste!

My metaphorical weekend, yes. The calendar weekend never does my any good. I always work. But Tuesdays are nice. The person below me would love to be at the movies right now.
