Happy Birthday!!

Aww, that's sad news. My thoughts are with you Emoe.

It could've been just a lot of Hosted Authors posting a chapter? Maybe Com, Dom, and etc. Or it could've been when an Anthology was posted.. lol. I went away right after that I think? Or a combination of the two. It could all be summed up to just plain boredom, lol.

I love McDonald's salads.. hmm.. I believe I'll keep getting them when I'm out and don't have enough time to sit down to eat at the better places.

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one!

James, my gay friends recently got "married/engaged" well.. as Married as one can get in the state of Kentucky... They exchanged different things, Derek bought Greg a ring and a necklace. Greg bought Derek and ring and a bracelet they both matched in style and design. Small tokens that show love are romantic to me and I would like seeing gay couples do this, but I understand why some don't. For me personally, I have two engagement rings.. lol.. One from David (the first time me proposed, the second hasn't happened yet), and from Jared. I no longer wear the one from Jared as it would look extremely weird.. and really the ring no longer holds any emotional attachment with it.. BUT! David is incredibly wrong if he thinks he doesn't have to get me another ring.. lol. Anyway, the first time I was engaged to David I got him a bracelet, which he still wears. More women should buy their husbands engagement gifts in straight relationships.

Aww thanks! I'm glad you've kept up with me too.. lol.. I've not posted to Nifty for a long time.. I hope to have a few new things ready in a couple of weeks.

Happy Birthday!!

Yes. A best friend normally has some of the qualities you find attractive in people or want. Attraction could develop or it could not. It could just be someone who you have a lot of things in common with, but usually best friends are someone that is at least similar I think.

Even though David isn't the perfect guy, I've attempted to answer this thread a few times and I've not really been able to do it.. lol. I mean it's difficult to say something that David doesn't fall under. So anyway, he does do things that annoy me, but they aren't massive. Like when he wears dress pants he pulls the legs up before he sits down, which is ok but he does it to where the bottom of his legs show.. they just seem to be up more than what other typical men do.. lol.. as a lot of men do that for some reason... He also bites his nails when his mother annoys him, I've never seen him bite his nails around me when we're alone, but when she's in the room being her chatty self usually either making fun of him or giving him pointers on how to treat me he starts biting his nails... haha.. I guess it's better than arguing with her. He also used to be a perfectionist, but being with me has actually stopped that stressful need that he has.. lol. I mean I even got him to play tackle football with me and the friends in the back yard when he had it in his mind that we would get all dressed up and go out... so that's a really good change in him. So anyway, he may not be perfect, but he fits.

I am celebrating a few weeks of freedom! The family is on vacation and I have the home all to myself... ahh. Also, I am HALFWAY finished with my Anniversary Anthology.

Lol, that picture was amusing, and thanks for commenting about the Newsletter.

Aww, Happy Canada Day!! I want to visit parts of Canada one of these days.

Aww, thanks for reading my stories and I'm glad that you enjoyed them so far. Welcome to GayAuthors!!

Thanks for liking Roommates Tiff! I liked writing it. Sadly AYC is still on hold though.. lol. I am currently working on other things.

Happy Birthday!

Are you wanting a person we know personally who we admire for their accomplishments and attributes? Personally I would have to say David. He's in his first year working after completing his residency and medical school and shadowing and such as a full fledged doctor in one of the best hospitals in the state. I admire all the challenges and stress he goes through. He gets a lot of rewarding aspects, but also a lot of stress and sadness in his line of work, still though he moves forward every day. He has his hardships dealing with a lifestyle like that, but he has learned to manage them and he offers me the time I desire from him with no complaining, so what can I say.. lol.. I admire him a lot for what he does, but I'm biased 'cause I love him. Another person I admire is my Physical Therapy division chairwoman. She is extremely warm and intelligent in her field. She is accomplished as a physical therapist as well as a professor. Her accomplishments intimidated the hell out of me until I got to know her, she has been very helpful and I have succeeded well above my own expectations in this field with her help. She calls me her bothersome brat because I'm always calling her up and asking her things, but deep down I think she enjoys it.. lol.. Well she's told me that she does and she called me a few times over the summer to make sure I was still practicing and reading up.. I have her for three classes next semester and she said she's going to be pretty brutal.

As I've said before, I'm primarily a 1st person writer. I'm a romance writer so I feel that those for me are easier to write in first person than third. If I wanted to write a Fantasy/Sci-fi, which is completely out of my comfort zone, I though would want to write it in third. Third to me is only better for those authors who like detail. They are more free to express detail and explain the happenings outside the character's mind in a more open way. First person limits an author because the character is controlling what the readers see and such like that. I no longer think it's the beginner's level of writing, I think it's whatever you start out doing, it's just more first time authors will use first person and then branch out. It's what I've done, but I keep reverting back to first person because I like writing in first person.

Happy Sweet Sixteen!!

Lol Michelle.. Welcome to GA! And, let Joe regret it all he wants. I like writing and being hosted here, that includes doing the anthologies. Live chat is nice and addicting, and I enjoy the sense of community the place has as well. I've made some friends, met some amazing people, and I've enjoyed myself a lot here this year. Hate to see it change in any way.

My avatar is getting old. I should really think about getting another one now. The other one was of a blue flower and the rain one is only because I thought it looked pretty, no real reason behind it I guess. I haven't found that perfect one that fit my personality yet, but I'll keep looking. Krista

People are already annoying me with their Fireworks, and we don't have any close neighbors so I'm having to go investigate to see if they're actually on their land or mine.. bleh.. and I'll actually be alone for the 4th of July. My family have officially started their Vacation to Hawaii. So this holiday has always been my favorite for that reason. I don't have to cook for a lot of people or light those scary fireworks off in the field.... shew.. So I'll definitely be going out with David some since he's taking the whole first full week of July away from work. Just sitting around and relaxing will be quite nice.

Woot!! Go you Tiff!

Any positive change small or large is a step in the right direction Timmy. Just keep up the good work.

Aww, that's a cute new name Mike..
