Sweet tea, yummy! I drink tea iced, any kind, sweet, peach, rapsberry, just straight up tea. I drink hot earl grey. No coffee, I did drink it at one point, but I never really liked it. So I gave it up, and I spend less money at school. So, double-double. That is like, two cream two sugar?

Hehe, this thread is great! Unfortunately I don't have any real stories to tell... I've been caught thrice individually. First

Oh boy. Well, me...I guess I should have voted the 10-13, but I voted 14-17. When I was 8 I had a crush on

I hate my job. Every day I go in I want to leave as soon as I punch in. No, wait, as soon as I put on my uniform at home I want the night to be over. I'm a manager at McDonald's. Just to get myself through school. I would never work at McDonads for life. I'd sooner join the Army. (Which I have been considering) But truthfully, when my boss is that stupid and they just keep dumping new responsibilities on me with no additional pay. I mean, this guy is really dense. Not to mention I've been threatened several times recently by outraged customers. One actually sat across the street and watched the store for hours after the police made him leave the store. Oh, and when I got robbed at gunpoint all they

Hmm, well I do like limonade imported from France, but it is quite expensive here. I mostly drink Sprite at work, apart from sweet tea. Root beer is great of course. Though if I have a choice, 90% of the time I go for lemonade

I've read a couple stories that made me cry. Can You Spare a Quarter? by TigerPaw and

I'm not sure I could agree with you more. There is a good feeling that comes with the piece of plastic and tin (or whatever metal it is...) Plus the smell, oh my. New CD smell is so good. Erm, yes, I am strange. However, I do pirate. I download a song or two, even a whole CD. Then I try to find the CD. That is, however, difficult since I like many European artists and I'm stuck here in the States. I search E-bay and Amazon weekly for artists that I have the illegal mp3s for. I actually just found one recently on Amazon, and I'm so glad I bought the CD. It sounds better legal. Movies, I do not pirate movies. TV shows, only one, and it was actually my dad that pirated it. I watched it though... Software, I admit, I have pirated some graphics software, but I cannot afford to

International adoptions recently have gotten a lot of press, especially with adoptions by Angelina Jolie. True, there are many children in less fortunate countries with no families and a tattered orphanage system. However there are also many children in your country that also have no families. So,

There were a lot of special circumstances, if I recall correctly he had regular contact with the child.

I think I am mostly on the same page as AFriendlyFace. Yes I want kids. More than anything. Caring for another life is what I think is the greatest thing anyone can do, and I want to do it too. It would be nice to have support, but I'm not going to depend on having it. I'll fufill my life's goal with or without a partner. I will adopt, there are plenty of children already born that need to be loved. I think two is my limit though. Boys or girls?

I would. Incest is not something that particularly turns me on, but I don't mind it. So long as it is consentual, I don't see anything wrong with it. Like

Eternally single I posted a card to my friend in Warsaw, with some horribly broken Polish. The card was great though, very dirty and all in jest. My valentine is my sister, I got her a silly little card. My real plan is to get a card to someone I'm not over yet. Just a "friends" card though, anything more would freak him out more than I already have. I'm also changing the oil of my suv. She's my real valentine.

Since your location seems to be fairly warm, as suggested above a picnic/park visit would be a great option. Sometimes your city or county will have special nature trails/city walks. My town has a "Riverwalk" that runs along a major river through various parks and parts of town, for example. Look in the phone book or call your parcs and rec office to find one! Walk one way, take a bus home, walk both ways...whatever. If walks and nature aren't usually your thing, if questioned about being cheap you could always remind that it is a good way to get some alone time, as is your goal. Perhaps even an evening stroll to give it a more date-like feel. Holding hands and slowly strolling down a pretty pathway at dusk is probably the best date you could ever take me on. I'm sure many

Well, math has its own language. There's sine, cosine, tangent, etc for trig, and don't get me started on calc! And of course

Well, I just got my microphone set up. But I can't always talk freely. It was funny seeing my old vent setup with the videogame servers I used to play at on the server list! Edit: Correction, I just destroyed my microphone. =(

For me, only English and French, though I do plan on learning more. No, I wouldn't use an international forum, as everyone here speaks English, and like Menzo said, I think that mostly only people that speak English would stumble

I agree with the first problem being fairly benign, from a professional author I certianly would expect better, but in an amateur novel there's bound to be a folly like this or two. The second problem However it remains one of my favourite stories, and I'm glad you enjoyed it a bit.

My my, poor Hylas! We're all allowed a folly or two, but when you have to struggle to find a decent post by a person, that frustrates me (you don't!). I'm sorry that

Well, several days ago I wouldn't have cared. I would have used one, but I wouldn't have cared enough to ask for one. Now I

Very true. If I were to post another poem I sure would love five or six responses, even if four of them were the same.

You know, I thought about this for a while. I realised that while I see the logic to this, someone may join a forum to get on an update list. Perhaps some people join so they can check on updates more easily. I've been known to join a forum or two to get on a mailing list, and only posted maybe twice on the forum. Oh most definately! If someone is not completely comfortable with the aspect of the personality relating to the forum (in this case gay/bi/ally), then it becomes extremely difficult to register and post. It can be very scary. I remember when I found a "BL" forum, I was very uncomfortable with that aspect of my personality.I

Well, I personally cannot give any good advice, as it depends heavily on the people and situations as aforementioned. However, one of my good friends would present to you this math formula*:

Oh my, don't get me started on Enya, I love Enya and even participate in her forum (well, used to). Lets just say there was a thread on Enya and homosexual men, and now discussing sexuality and politics is forbidden on the forum. Also I noticed Imogen Heap is generally popular as "gay music." My cousin and I love her, and when I bought her CD this gay (I'm assuming) guy was raving about her, and the woman that was checking me out gave me a little smirk. Personally though, I don't think there is a genre of music that is "gay music," just like there is not a certian dress that is "gay dress." Sure it may be stereotypical, but I don't think it should be called gay music, or gay dress. Of course I generally like what might be generalised as "gay music." I always got teased about it in high school.

I could take this quiz 5 times and each time I'd get a different answer. Like any personality quiz. That said, my results

Can You Spare a Quarter? was recommended to my by the author of one of my favourite online stories, Joel. The story was published on Nifty from 2002 to 2003, but an updated PDF was published in 2007 on this site. This story made me cry - a lot. Happy and sad, so if you are not one for crying it is not for you. It is not a sex story. The characters are largely gay, but other than that it is not really a gay story. It's about an abused, homeless boy and the man that saves him. I don't know how to express how much this story moved me when I read it. I don't even know how to give it a rating. I suppose it would be five out of five stars. http://www.gvtc.com/~tedlouis/cysaq/cysaq.html Read it, you will not be sorry. :-)
