Ah again you speak out of your ass my dear. Throw in a few vague words like "almost always" and "tend" and you don't think you're stereotyping, but you are. Just shows the level of real thought you put into most of your posts.

So you hate Country music, let's not be an annoying little shit about it.

Favorite to play: Basketball; although I think Volleyball and Football are fun if there are enough people that want to play. I suck at sports that have rackets or sticks so I don't play those often. Favorite to watch: American Football and Baseball (on television, I don't like going to baseball games, no matter where you sit, you're just not close enough for all the cup adjustments.. haha.

Happy Birthday Steve! Have a great one. Don't be a stranger..

Happy Birthday! Have a GREAT one!

Happy Birthday James! Have a great one.

*Holds out her hand* - Leave your man cards here, I'll chop them up for you.

About every damn back road between here and my mother's house... and driving in the city where I live is hell.. probably one of the worst disasters in the state. lol

Yeah, she's hilarious, but to be honest.. that's how many Kentuckians act.. not many of us fear to look goofy and the like.

If only the Mortal Instrument movie had this sort of marketing team.. Not that COB is at this level of grandness though..

Happy Birthday Mann! Have a great one.

Heath Ledger? Amy Winehouse or however you spell her last name. It doesn't really matter which drugs killed these people. Any of them in their most basic form or mixture can kill at any time. Addiction or not.

Yeah, I liked that. MLB really did good.

Likely won't get an answer - him being a Former Member and all. But, Britney, Robbie, and Jason aren't the first.. athletes to come out of the closet. Britney and Robbie are active athletes that are gay (also I believe there is an active boxer that came out of the closet, but I for the life of me cannot remember). So I doubt these four athletes coming out of the closet has changed minds. Read on coming out news posts on Sports sections of MSN or ESPN, and most people are over it. There are still a lot of people that are pretty homophobic, but those people will die homophobics. But, mostly people are more concerned with what their team is doing on/in the field/court/arena instead of what one certain player is doing in the sack. Don't get me wrong, it's nice that Athletes are really pushing against homophobia in sports. I like seeing these people finally stepping up and being role models...

Well people just don't become addicted to drugs for no reason. They are chemically lacking something, physically lacking something, socially, mentally.. something had changed in the span of his life that led him down that road. And false pretenses are a part of all that as well.

Not to be... bitchy? I guess is the word I'm looking for, but he's the only one on that show that's not funny.. Well actually the others have moments, most of them are annoying at times. Apart from Schmidt, who I think does the comedy delivery better. And, New Girl, isn't as widely appreciated by viewing audiences either, so I agree, there would be less RIP threads for him. But that doesn't diminish his life in comparison to Cory's either. The loss of life is the same loss to me.

Happy un-birthday to you!

Happy Birthday! Have a great one.

Nice review JoAnn.

Happy Birthday Layla!!! Have a great one!

Sad.. and so young.

I know.. last part of June and all of July has made it difficult to be a reds fan.. and 2x worse to be married to one... I just hope Aaron doesn't have some weird ritual that involves him stopping the sex until they start winning again... lol. (He is that die hard so I wouldn't put it past him) Oh.. and at least I do like the Braves - until they beat the Reds..

Check yourself Bang, before the Domaholics get their pitchforks. Maybe it is time for some Desert Dropping, I've not read it in years...

I was thinking last night after I read this post, back to when I started posting on GA.. (Hurricane Krista, anyone?) Comicality, Dio, Dom, Viv, and others were going strong. For one reason or another, a lot of them have stopped writing and/or coming to GA. I don't want to say they got a life, because 1. That would mean I never got a life, because I'm here. 2. People that have been here longer than I are still waiting for their life to start. 3. That it diminishes what GA is, which for some, a very big chunk of their life/time. So for what ever reason, the rest of their life took priority over GA's part and they stopped coming here or stopped writing all together. When I started posting, there were a number of other people that I was promoted to Hosted with. Mark Arbour, ShadowGod, Nicholas James, Tiffani Chin, Luc, Gabriel Morgan, CJames, etc. To Shared Hosted with, Razor, AFriendlyFace, Formosa, and ect. And if you look around, a lot of those authors are no longer here as well. I'm not saying that I'm proud to have kept coming here or that I should get some award or anything. It's just an observation. Along with those of us that have been able to keep writing and coming to GA, there are a lot of newer authors that have made big splashes, in big ways. Cia, Nephylim, etc, etc, etc.. another abundance of new authors and new stories. I'd say most of the reading population would like the entire list of authors (and don't get mad if I didn't list you specifically, hopefully you know how much your own contribution matters..), were still here with all the growth GA has had over the years. But in my mind, it is just a natural progression of time. Not all of the newer authors will last. Some of them too will likely leave stories unfinished for what ever reason. It just happens, a bitter sweet cycle... like everything else. Asking for unfinished stories to become finished, to me, diminishes what the author has done for GA as a whole. Also it diminishes what the authors here now are doing. The best we can do now is appreciate them all while we can.

Like a real letter? Because I get little notes and post-it notes all the time.. lol. I used to write letters all the time, now I just text.. and my friends get annoyed with me when I write and write and write in the text message and they get like three or so in a row from me.. they respond with a.. "why in the hell didn't you just call me?" lol.. and I'm like.. "I don't have time damnit.." which doesn't make any sense, since I can talk faster than I can text - still. But eh.. I guess the last real letter I got was a small one from Aaron when we were dating... and I think it was just about three or so sentences.
