I was a Junior in high school before I saw anyone that wasn't my own race. So, I am strongly attracted to my own race, but there have been a few African American men especially that I could see myself dating if I got to know them a lot better as I am open to dating outside my race, but as far as preferences I can relate to and be more comfortable with dating within my race.

Thanks for reading and liking my story. I'll try to continue it one of these days.

Congrats y'all!

Congrats on the new job! Have fun.

Congrats on the promotion.

Hmm, kissing is just a small part of showing affection. I honestly couldn't describe the perfect kiss, but over all the favorite kisses have come with David. As what makes the kiss perfect really? I mean I could be in an unexpected rain storm after a bus sprayed water all over a very expensive outfit and if David walked up and laid one on me I'd think it the most perfect kiss. So it doesn't really matter about the time and place or whatever, but the person it does.. a lot.

"Stay" How can I bear to wake up and you're not there What will I do when I turn and reach for you I'll lay my tears on the windowsill I'll only cry till i get over you But how long will that take me Won't you save me... and [Chorus:] Stay Just a little bit longer Till I'm a little bit stronger to take all this Stay Just a little more time Till I can find a way Please stay Will I ever smile again When loosing love takes my best friend To wonder where, wonder how Wonder what you're doing One more night just before you break me Hold me safely [Chorus] So I'll be a big girl, and just close my eyes As you walk away don't say goodbye God save me Please won't you [Chorus]

I have never been good at Titles. I an neurotic enough to form a title before I'm able to work on the first chapter or short story though. So I always have a "working title" at the top - I for some reason can't get very far with the top blank or, "Untitled Work." For the most part, I title it with the thought of the story plan in mind, but sometimes when I re-work the story plan the title doesn't fit the story anymore. (Example: Good Guys Finish Last). I do think Titles are important if you want them to be important or a large part of the idea within the story. Like Tiff said though, I don't think it is the be all end all to a story, it may be a reason people choose to read a book or it may be the reason a person chooses not to. People have told me they won't ever read, "Are You Christian," because of it's title. So it takes the first chapter to hook the reader more so than the title. I think the chapter summary does more advertising than the Title, but it is the Title that becomes the starting point of discussion too. Anyway, to sum it all up, I personally don't put much effort in when I'm thinking of a Title.

Not that any of you want to know, but I am body-hair free. Well, I've never really grown hair on my arms, but I don't remove hair on my arms. Everywhere else though is hairless. I've never liked body hair on me so I've always kept it off. Anyway, for guys, I don't mind chest hair, it took me a while to be comfortable with chest hair though, but now I don't mind it. I don't like hair on the butt and back though.. I'll never like that. Also, out of control "you know where" hair is just gross too.

I am far more comfortable writing in 1st person perspective than I am in 3rd. One can argue that it is within the beginner's domain, but I think I could be just as comfortable writing in other prospectives if I started out in them and it would be reversed. It is though easier to write through the prospect of one person I think, than to write a story with the actions, thoughts, reactions of many characters that an Omniscient narrative provides. People seem to like my 1st person perspective stories a whole lot more than my 3rd person, but I've not challenged myself with writing a serial in third yet. I do have one planned, but as far as my writing goes I once wanted to transition myself into completely working with Third person, as I see that as the more accepted style. I won't do that now though as I would see myself not enjoying my writing if I did. Becoming comfortable in both styles would be a good goal to have for myself though and if I write enough in both it would be great.

Now if it was a Wii I believe people would be more understanding.. I don't know about the XBOX 360 though.

It is important to know yourself. It takes time to do that really as people change, but around my age I find that I'm distinctly different from where I was not even three years ago. So, it sometimes takes a lot of life experience to know limitations, true reactions, and such. I would be more interested in participating and being tested through one of the listed not because I don't have a clue about myself, I'm pretty confident I can get by with what I know about myself.. lol.. it would just be interesting for the most part and helpful as well.

I'll be glad to tell you lol, I never wrote the ending, but the outline I had.. ended with Ross running from authorities and being shot and killed in Cancun after being outed by Carrie - Because Scott tells her about his past and she reacts and goes behind the scenes and such. But anyway, so it ended with Ross being killed, shot in the back on the beach - ending then with a funeral scene in Texas. Which ending would you have wanted? lol.

Thanks for reading my story!! You had to anyway, but I'm glad you liked it. The ending wasn't originally the ending at all. I guess I've become a "hopeless romantic gushy" type of writer recently... lol. Oh well, I'll shape up... haha Thanks again!

Yes, the way I write it is difficult to keep a character on track sometimes. Then again, they do change how they are needed as well. As for other stories, I'm busy.. haha. I actually started a story for the Escape Anthology then decided it would be better fitted as a serial.. so now I have to come up with another Escape story. Anyway, thanks for commenting - Again.

Happy Birthday!!

Congratulations, keep up the good work, and good job.

Well, I say, "I love you," a lot. I do it when someone makes me laugh, out of habit, I would say, "You know what, I love you." Of course, I don't mean that version of the words to be too strong. I do also tell my friends that I love them, because they are too important to me for tha to go unsaid really, and we've been doing it for such a long time that it's become second nature and easy. I have never told my Step-father that I loved him, maybe because I was practically an adult when him and my Mother married and I didn't feel the need to be that connected with him - I'm still not all that connected with him, as I don't need the father figure in him, and I don't see him as that really. So that's one person I would never be comfortable enough to say that to. My mother herself, it took my a lot of years and a lot of changes in our relationship for me to say that I loved her, I always have, but she just made it too hard sometimes.. lol. Now though, we're close, so it's a lot easier. I tell the brats I love them every time I put them to bed or if I'm leaving.

Well first I want to comment that I liked the mixture of Poetry within the Journal entries, and as well as the bit of reflection and further telling of the story by the brother in the end. I realized in the beginning that it was going to be heavy read. The parts about being a failure as a father were especially difficult, and, it was easy to feel sorry for him about that. Anyway, one thing about the story that to me, didn't seem to fit was the strong feelings and forced humor in the scene with the nurse. It just didn't seem to follow the thoughts of someone that died or got too weak to write not long after that one entry, but that's just me being picky.. lol. In all, this was a powerful story, that had a strong emotional insight on what it could've been like to be a person suffering from Aids and dying in a time where the disease was new and not well known. So, good job.

I drink in moderation, there are few times in my life where I've gotten snookered beyond my limits as I always hated the next day afterwards, not ever really worth it to be drunk. So I usually just drink to quench my thirst, and then maybe a second drink a little while later.

My throat gets scratchy, my nostrils burn, eyes water and sting, I get head aches, and it lasts until I go home and take something for it. I also do hate the stale smoke smell... on me after I am around it too.. it's something that doesn't leave until the clothes are washed.. and it's only worse if you try to mask it with sprays.

I've never smoked. I think I'm slightly allergic to the smoke anyway. I know I am affected when I go to parties and the rooms are filled with smoke long after I left.
