  1. Sorry, but that was not the only one. I still say Chapter 19 qualifies, and most members agree. That chapter is what earned you the title King of Evil Cliffhangers.
  2. Kevin, I do happen to think there are some situations in which sex without condoms is acceptable. However, those are a very slim minority. It requires a level of honesty, commitment, and trust that many are unfortunately uncapable of in today's society. Thus, people often risk their lives by engaging in unsafe sex with someone they trust. I will not mention names, but one of our members was in a situation where he narrowly escaped being diagnosed with HIV. His former partner was HIV+. Fortunately, the guy who dodged the bullet was strictly top. Otherwise, he definitely would have been infected. I can say that the member was not me.
  3. I can certainly identify with that kind of emotional state. While sad, those were good poems, Rose.
  4. I left a review. That was a good chapter, Dan. I do have one mild complaint. It did seem a bit rushed and like it was a bit of a summary. Other than that, it was good.
  5. Procyon, it does not hurt to take an extra shower on the really hot days. I certainly do at times. June is hotter than... <insert crude cliche>. Anyway, I really am not a summer or winter person. Spring passed way too quickly.
  6. I'll have to see what happens, Gary. I hate needing medication, but I definitely need it for a while. I realize a lot of it has to do with my past. It still eats away at me. I really should go to therapy.
  7. Garbage "Cherry Lips"
  8. Cody certainly has a lot of issues. His mother may be partly to blame because of her maltreatment of him. However, there comes a point where a person needs to face the issues and work towards resolving them. At least he is not completely in denial about it. That's more than can be said of a lot of people, both real and fictional.
  9. Jamie, I agree whole-heartedly. I could never risk my life like that. Condoms break, and then it starts. I will not allow that to happen to me. I have stated emphatically that if anyone infects me with HIV, there will be a murder/suicide. I am not one to kill, but that would drive me over the edge. Besides, I figure I'm just speeding up the process at that point. I know I am being overly blunt here, but that is how I feel about the matter.
  10. It's more of a matter-of-fact outlook. Until I am on the medication I need for long enough, it will happen. I guess I need to see a therapist... ever notice what happens when that is separated into two words after the first three letters?
  11. I am well-aware of that. I am not going to try to match him tonight. I'm trying to wrap up my short story. I'm getting close.
  12. Thanks Krista. The seasons were both literal and figurative as the represented actual seasons as well as stages of life.
  13. Yeah, I guess that means I have not felt depressed today. I know it's bound to happen again though.
  14. Well, it's not as difficult as you think it is. If one posts ten to twenty times per day, it's easy. Kevin, you really need to mentor Jack a bit. He seems to be a little obstinate.
  15. Tiff, I believe I have figured out how to combat the need for feedback. There's always writing a short-story, or letting a good friend read part of a chapter for that. Anyway, I have the same goal in my for my next project.
  16. I agree! Jack, it's okay to be a postwhore. Ask Kev! Oh, I forgot. 5,000 does not qualify him as a postwhore. I guess 2000-4,999 does qualify me as such.
  17. Kev, I don't want to either. I've just had such a bad week. I need a healthier coping mechanism. I guess nervousness brings out a bit of an oral fixation.
  18. Linkin Park "My December"
  19. Wellbutrin it is then! I have to be sure of it. Along with the low risk of sexual dysfunction, it will help me not want to smoke. I'm sorry to say, but I have smoked some cigarettes lately to calm my nerves and because cigs are supposed to be good for depression. It also is supposed to lower appetite. What more could a guy want?
  20. I can understand that, Jamie. I happen to live in hostile territory as well. While I will always consider this region home, there is a part of me that eventually wants to leave. That is a personal decision I have to make for myself. However, I can understand sentimentality, because there is a side of me that would be content with living closer to the city (Kansas City) but still in driving distance to where I live now.
  21. I agree, Gary. The fact is that we need plenty of feedback for the anthologies. Mine is a poem, but most are short stories I look forward to reading. I think there are going to be some good ones. I'm probably looking forward to CJ's most of all.
  22. Elliot Yamin "Wait for You"
  23. Train "Drops of Jupiter"
  24. Only in his stories, Gary... He's actually agoraphobic.
  25. Gary, if I remember correctly, east Texas is flat. I have serious doubts about cliffdiving being available there.
