Writing short stories is one of my biggest weaknesses. I just can't. I am more of a novelist. It's not that I haven't tried. It just doesn't work well for me. That's why most of my anthologies tend to be poems rather than short stories. I really do understand the desire to expand a story, because I find myself always wanting to write a novel or novella. My advice is just to go for it. It's okay to write a sequel.

Happy birthday! I hope you're having a good one, Jacques.

Yeah, this show is great and full of hotties and is sci-fi. What more could a gay guy want?

Actually, I was thinking Kansas City, Missouri, or one of its bigger suburbs like Overland Park, Kansas.

I don't like to pick on anyone, but you really come off as closed-minded. Not every gay guy is as masculine as you are. Wearing a dress is something some guys like. Perhaps you should get to know some fems, like in a friendship kind of way. Maybe you'd understand them better. As for the dress, I agree with those who say you should let him choose the dress. You're not supposed to see the dress until the big moment.

Hey guys. I wanted to recommend a program called Last Pass. The program stores your passwords without storing them in your browser, which is less secure. Last Pass is also good if you have any websites of your own, allowing you to log-in automatically. You won't have to remember a difficult password. Last Pass will do it for you. You can find it here. I hope I'm not coming off as someone who's advertising. I simply want to recommend free software that can protect your passwords from hackers.

You are : Coffee You are invigorating and exciting to be around. Although people who hang around you might become addicted and have headaches when you're gone.

Yay! I am too. I guess that doesn't mean we always like the same thing. It seems you like Sasuke Uchiha. I don't.

Crotch. That word just sounds so disgusting for some reason. Call it a dick or a cock or whatever. Crotch just sounds gross.

Happy birthday.

This really is horrible. I found a news article. These are some sick bastards. By Henry Chu, Los Angeles Times Los Angeles Times Staff Writer July 22, 2011, 7:20 p.m. Reporting from London— A horrific shooting rampage at a youth summer camp left at least 80 people dead as Norway reeled from apparently related terrorist attacks in a nation long known as the home of the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition to the shooting at youth camp attended by hundreds on the island of Utoya, a massive bomb exploded in downtown Oslo, killing seven and injuring dozens. Police director Oystein Maeland told reporters early Saturday they had discovered many more victims after initially reporting the death toll at 10, the Associated Press reported. Maeland couldn't say how many people were injured in the shooting. The summer camp was organized by the youth wing of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labor Party. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attacks, but speculation swirled around both Islamic militant groups and domestic right-wing extremists. Al Qaeda previously has singled out Norway as a target, and a shadowy group affiliated with the terrorist network reportedly claimed responsibility, a statement that could not be verified. A suspect was arrested in the shooting, and reports described him as a tall, fair-haired man who spoke fluent Norwegian. The justice minister identified him as a Norwegian citizen. Friday's double attacks, which police said were linked, recalled the dramatic 2008 siege on a hotel and other sites in Mumbai, India, that raised international fear of coordinated, sophisticated attacks on "soft" targets unprepared for a large-scale assault. The rampage on Utoya, a small, heavily wooded island not far from Oslo, was a particularly harsh blow. A youth convention of the ruling Labor Party, the biggest political event of the summer, was underway there. Hundreds of young people, some of them teenagers, were in attendance. Authorities witnesses described the assailant as a man dressed in a police uniform. The suspect, a 32-year-old Norwegian, was arrested on Utoya. Police later found undetonated explosives on the island. The prime minister's office was heavily damaged by the bomb blast in Oslo, which killed seven people. Norwegian news reports said that Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was working at another location and was unharmed. In a nationally televised address, he urged his compatriots not to be overcome by fear. But the shock and scars from the violence will probably run deep in the normally placid, close-knit Scandinavian nation of about 5 million people. Authorities closed Norway's borders shortly after the attacks. "Norway will stand together in a time of crisis," Stoltenberg said. Addressing the attackers, he said: "You will not destroy our democracy and our ideals for a better world.... No one will bomb us into silence; no one will shoot us into silence." At the White House, President Obama sent his condolences to Oslo and called for stronger global cooperation to combat terrorism. "It's a reminder that the entire international community has a stake in preventing this kind of terror from occurring," said Obama, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. "We'll provide any support we can to them as they investigate these occurrences." Mattias Carlsson, a Swedish journalist, said he saw as many as 15 to 20 bodies on the shore and in the frigid waters around the island. "Some have blood on their faces. There is clothing lying around at the shore, as if someone has tried to swim away," Carlsson said in a telephone interview. "There are four people and they are lying together as if they are hugging."

Depending on how things go in my life, I may be interested in going. I've never been to LA, so I would probably just plan a whole week or so and just happen to be there at the right time. Personally, I've always thought one somewhere in the midwest would be good, because it would be meeting in the middle. (Just saying...)

I'm versatile, but I favor bottom.

Great story, Sara! I'll have to read more of your stories in the future. I really liked the ending of it. It makes me wonder what happens next. I hope you someday write a sequel or something. It'd be wonderful. Of this I have no doubt.

Happy birthday to a fantastic author and fantastic woman.

Who cares? I like fighting. I wish there were some sports based on real fighting... black eyes, punched out teeth, etc. Hockey has always been a hardcore sport. If anything, it should be encouraged. Yeah, I know some might think that violence is bad. However, I see it as entertainment.

This is one of my favorite country break-up songs, Leave the Pieces by The Wreckers. The video has the lyrics, but I'll post them anyway. You're not sure that you love me But you're not sure enough to let me go Baby it ain't fair, you know To just keep me hanging 'round You say you don't want to hurt me Don't want to see my tears So why are you still standing here Just watching me drown? And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine Don't worry about this heart of mine Just take your love and hit the road There's nothing you can do or say You're gonna break my heart anyway So just leave the pieces when you go Now you can drag out the heartache Baby you can make it quick Really get it over with And just let me move on Don't concern yourself With this mess you left for me I can clean it up, you see Just as long as you're gone And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine Don't worry about this heart of mine Just take your love and hit the road There's nothing you can do or say You're gonna break my heart anyway So just leave the pieces when you go You're not making up your mind It's killing me and wasting time I need so much more than that Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine Don't worry about this heart of mine Just take your love and hit the road There's nothing you can do or say You're gonna break my heart anyway So just leave the pieces when you go Leave the pieces when you go Oh yeah, leave the pieces when you go Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah Leave the pieces when you go

But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. - Matthew 24:36 (King James version) I guess they forget about this Bible verse. If you're going to be religious, then read the so-called good book more often. @ old bob- This is what the rapture is supposed to be: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 (King James Version) Okay, I just quoted two Bible verses. That is disturbing

I still haven't heard anything from him. It really makes me sad. He's a stubborn fellow though.

Well, I was watching Latter Days, and I wondered if the underwear he was taking off was the real deal or not.

I wanted to know what Mormon underwear looked like, so I did a Google search and found this.

This is me with shorter hair an with my new glasses. I have a bit of a sunburn too.

That's freaking hilarious. I don't know if that guy is for real or not, but he's funny as hell.
