Rub downs are pretty much vigorous massages to loosen the muscles... to keep from cramping and the like.. I've seen it done to a few swimmers.. I didn't think it would be too.. relaxing, but that was during a competition. Also, you may look into cool down methods... a lot of swimmers do multiple events.. so after their event they'll go sit in a different pool (shape similar to a hot tub) or do some "lazy" laps in a practice pool... I bring those up, as it would be good conversational places if you're not going to actually focus on the competition side and want to fill space when those scenes are lacking.. I'm not a swimmer... and that's just what I witnessed attending a swim meet.. but since it is your story, you can get away with being slightly inaccurate as long as you get the basics down... I bet every high school will do something different, I know it was like that in the sports I played..

10-20 years, I think I'll be married, hopefully - because I'm basing it on how well Aaron and I are getting along.. lol, although I'm not in any rush. I'll also probably still be working as a Physical Therapist, if I don't change or go back to school. I don't really want to, but I get bored with routines... I don't want kids, Aaron does, so I'll probably compromise with two (I don't want to raise a single child) - I can't have children so they'll be adopted.. or surrogate carried. Moved into a house that I own and like, although I'm picky.. lol. Let's see.. hopefully I'll still be alive.

You're cute Jensen, so hush.

Hmmm... I would love to be on the developmental team for the second DA, which I hope happens.. lol.. I've already played with most of the people available.

I knew you were a little bit bi-curious. Kidding... lol

I smell a dirty goat.. stinky. How'd you pay the other WST members off, goat? hmm? I know Sharon can't be bought, but the rest I'm not so sure...

Happy Birthday!

Lol, yeah I've... took Alistair's virginity a few times on DA:O, but I've not married him or made him King yet.. seems a bit power hungry to make him a king then marry him knowing he's not the sharpest man out there. But yes, I'm pretty sure the female rogue Liliana is a switch hitter too like Zeveran, so if you have a female character you can seduce her and she'll act on it. You can also go to the Pearl place in Denerim and pick which group of "whores" you can sleep with, doesn't matter they're all in it for the money.. lol. Not that I did that... either

So lovely Viv! I wanna try.

I love that game also... lol.. and it does have gay romance options in it. No where near the level of Sims games where they can marry and adopt and live the life, but DA is far more entertaining.

Happy Birthday!!!

Guilty.

Heh.. I am just a thirty second survivor.. but don't let that fool anyone.. I'm still mean.

It allows us to live by a set of basic moral beliefs... like others have said. It allows for art and expression, it has influenced architecture, governments, migrations to other continents, and etc.. so Religion is pretty defining. The literature is what I like, although I don't agree with a lot of what people translate that literature into.. the bible was for a time one of my favorite things to read.

Feel better soon Lacey.

Happy Birthday Benji!!! Have a great one.

I'm going to be all back woods hick and say it was an unidentified flying object..

Heh.. when I turned 21 oh so long ago... they didn't give me a count down like they normally did.. they just said.. "Ready" and I was like, "yeah..." then before I knew it I was blinded by the flash.. Luckily my ditzy self always has some sort of smile on my face, so I wasn't completely lost.. I would've hated to carry that sucker around if it did turn out bad..

Happy Birthday! Have a great one.

tsk tsk tsk Graeme, how could you? At least there is some hope out there, that some of us authors never use evil cliffhangers.

Its a trust issue really, but I think it would be safer to do it via phone than internet, more anonymous that way if you know the person "in real life" from the beginning. But doing that sort of thing with someone from the internet I would think is what raises all the red flags, because it is more personal, traceable and all that.. I won't be sending naked photos anywhere though.. lol... but I have trust issues, its just too easy to push the send button

Happy Birthday Tim!

Thanksgiving has always felt like the time to sum up a year and recap it a bit.. SO, with Steve's question: "What are you personally thankful for this year?" People can answer it if they want to. Personally this year I am thankful that I finally graduated from Uni with my degree... although I've not really liked the whole "working girl" thing.. lol, at least the pay check is ok.

Have a great thanksgiving y'all.

Heh.. you could always go to a different person? Maybe they'll get your look right.. although you're sexy anyway. and I hate the title, you tease.
