Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one, Krista

Let's see, I like the Bio idea. Here's my suggestions: Some stories from other authors that may have helped you in your own writing? Or that you just like. Some causes you believe in. Musical Taste Artists/art works you like?

You can date multiple people. I've dated multiple people at the same time before, it's ok to go on dates with different people. There is nothing wrong with that if they both have qualities that you find attractive. You've already mentioned not sleeping with them, and I don't think you're looking to experiment either. I believe you're wanting to date and dating them both isn't a bad thing to do as you seem to have problems about how you'd be perceived if you done something like that. Anyway, the only problem is, if they both become seriously close and you're stuck on deciding which one you like more.. when they're both serious. That's a negative that could keep you from choosing to do something like that though. Krista

Good luck!! I hope it works out. At least you know you're at least friends first. Krista

Here's chapter 11! Thanks for reading. Come back here to discuss. Chapter 11 Krista

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one, Krista

Happy Birthday!!! Let the Legalized drinking begin! Have a good one, Krista

I just read chapter two, I like how you moved the story forward, while taking time to explain what has happened the characters life up to the present so that we the readers can connect to them and deeper while following your pace of the story. Anyway, another great chapter. Krista

Yeah it definitely depends on the way it's said. You can't really hold the word against him, even though, dough nut would be an odd 'pet-name' to give to someone, if it even qualified as one. I know I've been called some odd things in the past and they sounded down-right insulting, but they meant it as a sign of affection... some people just have different ways to communicate their feelings? I would definitely ask as the curiosity would kill me.. OR.. call him the same thing and see how he reacts.. then you'd have a definitive answer there.. as he would definitely have to explain himself if you used it in the wrong context. (be careful with this method though) Krista

Hey, I happened onto this poem while viewing the "Portal" thing GA has. I'm not one for reading poetry, but after reading it I liked it and I'm learning to comment on what I read now.. lol. It was wrote in an interesting style, and the imagery it created was clear to me. Good job Krista

Well.. I voted for your well-being as well.. I thought you'd get so many votes for your undoing, I was just giving you the sympathy vote... But.. the generosity of others has actually showed up and saved you (for the time being, one more cliffie may just send them over the edge) too bad we can't re-vote. Krista

Hey, Welcome again to GA, I just started reading, this story and I found it well wrote. I like the character development already and I can't wait to get on to chapter 2, the parents in the first chapters struck me as entertaining and original as well as they reacted to their sons. I like the "parallel" beginning of the characters beginning with short glances into Jason and Kyle's life in the opening scenes. Set in Nebraska and New York. You also have a smooth flowing writing style. Thanks for sharing, Krista

Hey!! Welcome to GA! Have fun sharing your work here with us. Krista

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one, Krista

No! Don't ruin the story by making it happy.. lol. Characters that are suffering makes for good reading too. It's ok to let Jamie suffer a bit. Anyway, I just now noticed that you have some stories on eFiction so I'll get to those shortly. Krista

Well the way I go about dealing with this kind of thing.. and.. this may seem slutty, but I just make myself available. You don't have to try to be with the person officially, but just by being in his presence more could get some sort of reaction from him in the right direction. Smothering is different though, when I find someone I like, as I never make the first move, I just become part of his environment more. A person can tell when they're destined to be a rebound, I learned that the hard way with my latest train wreck relationship. When they fall hard and fast right after a break up, then they're an obvious rebound, it does feel good at the time as you're actually seeing them at their best as they're trying to repress their worst to try and recover from the loss of a relationship. Then as time goes by you see their worst because there isn't anything maintaining the relationship. Now you said they were together for three years? That's an extended period of time so I suggest that you move slowly, I say he's not looking for a love interest, rebounds usually happen spontaneously. So to sum it all up and to finally make sense, just be around, but not with benefits attached. He wants a friend, in the long run not a rebound and if you become his rebound you probably won't last long as his last relationship lasted a long time, which means he's looking for a relationship with substance or he'd not be in such a long relationship regardless of who dumped who. No one can really put it into days, weeks, months, years of waiting for him. You kind of have to know the person, if their body language, attire, demeanor, personality, etc. has changed since the break up, then it's probably safe to say he's not ready for another long standing relationship. If he seems similar to what he was during the relationship with his ex, then it may be the appropriate time to make some sort of gesture as he's more himself. Krista

24 straight hours awake and counting. Bow to me.. Krista

A club for postaholics! I am in no such club, for sure. I only have 2 posts a day so, no matter how many posts I've made to date, two posts a day just doesn't qualify. Have fun PPC's, keep up the good work. Oh, and BK good job in putting this thread here as I saw it being moved here eventually with all the postaholics coming out of closets everywhere these days. Now, you need to call this the, "recovering postaholic" thread. OR.. Postaholic Anonymous. Express what makes you a postaholic and seek help for your postaholic ways. Even if it's a quick, "The goat made me," it will suffice as I'm sure there will be many complaints about that goat, and said goats denial, and delusions of his lurker status. Krista

Loved it. Took me awhile to get around to actually watching it and such. There were some annoying parts with the characters that I didn't like, but over all it was a nice movie. The soundtrack was grand as well. Krista

Nope, there are too many people wanting the goat's well-being, that has forced a tie with the leading method of his undoing. So until the mounting or slow roasting out numbers all the other voters then no action can be done. So get to voting.. Krista

Looks like Cj is spared with a tied vote. Even with all the meanness he's been up to lately. Krista

Little Big Town - "To Know Love" Walk with me in the moonlight, babe, Lose ourselves in the star parade, And I will sing a midnight serenade for you. Dance with me in a field of green, Be so close I can hear you breathe, Be the end and the in between. 'Cause to know you is to know love, And to know love is to know enough. To walk with you. through this life. From now until the day I die, 'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you. So put your sun in my silver sky, Put your rain in my river dry, Put your words in my lullaby, And I'll dream. 'Cause to know you is to know love, And to know love is to know enough. To walk with you. through this life. From now until the day I die, 'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you. 'Cause to know you is to know love, And to know love is to know enough. To walk with you. through this life. From now until the day I die, 'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you. --------- Krista

Congratulations Benji!! Good job! Keep up the good work. Krista
