Happy Birthday MattieCakes! Hope WWDP be today as a present!

Yeah, Milo's being determined (stubborn). Nelson's assuming the worst (that Milo will leave), but I really think Milo has something else up his sleeve. However, I think he's trying to make sure that Nelson is committed before he takes on a big risk I'm wondering what's 1000 miles away..military/boarding school, ex-gay camp, mom? Even if Milo does leave, it's only a relatively short amount of time before he turns 18. We know Nelson will be turning 18 by next summer. I don't think we found out when Milo's birthday is, but a maximum 1 year leave of absence isn't that long.

So I've been working up the nerve to go and start a conversation with this guy at the gym whom I've had a crush on for ages... But reading your blog helped me decide not to . I don't want to be called a creep (and would thus have to find a new gym due to shame/embarassment). Welcome back to GA activity! I too recognize you from AD.

I'm curious Tim, isn't this the purpose of the Q&A Forum? Wouldn't it be better to just ask questions as individual threads? Having multiple questions and multiple answers in one big thread sounds difficult to read or to keep track of... Just my thoughts .

haha! I don't mind, I have WT 20 to read! I had already gone to bed, but something told me I should login and check. I knew I had a feeling!

Perhaps he'll send it to you after you complete the domluka website redesign you started in 2006.

You didn't have your 'Caps Lock' set, did you?

Jame in With Trust is quite the character. It's still not clear (to me) what is motivating him to do the things he's doing. Is he a complicated character such as Dennis of TLW/ITFB, where we just don't have all the information to pass good judgement on him? Or he is more like Kyle of ITFB, butting into his friend's business? Or perhaps another theory? Please cast your vote or share your thoughts.

I'm not sure Milo intended to go as far as he did, but I think he got himself on a roll in the parking lot. Milo seemed pretty determined to 'fix it' and his stubborn streak seemed to give him more energy to do things that were 'out of the box' for Milo. Not only was Jame trying to stop him, but so was Nelson. That fed his courage. Now even though Milo initiated the kiss, Nelson did notice he was nervous, probably shaking even. I'm sure he'll have some bits of regret later, but not enough to regret to wish he didn't go as far as he did.

And then ask him to explain how hanging out in GA chat will also bring the paper closer to perfection .

I was feeling the same way, WT feels like it's drawing to a close. But anyway, I'm sure we're in for a few more bumps in the road (Hopefully not to the extreme where one of the main characters get killed off). I'm liking the new, butcher, take charge Milo. Me too, MNITE/BNITE is soooo Domaholic's 2006

Good to know that Brandon's not as closeted as some may have thought. If Christina knows, maybe other girls know too. No wonder Brandon is surrounded by girls.

Nice not to feel like being on an edge of the cliff after that one . What a great feeling after reading 19!

He's available, and it appears he likes long walks on the beach...

That's what my mom was thinking -- although she probably thought grandkids

That's what my mom said

Yeah, once you lose the trust, justified or not, it's not a good situation for either party to be in. Trust until you get burned, then cut bait.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Apparently, a picture can elicit phone calls & emails to my mom and sisters... A HighSchool friend was visiting for the weekend and we took a day trip to Santa Barbara. This picture is of the two of us...on the beach...on Valentine's Day. I was pretty sure everyone knew I was gay, but I guess this confused a few relatives or perhaps gave some of them hope that I switched teams again . I can imagine my mom wistfully pondering what it would have been like if my friend was their daughter-in-law (we had gone to prom together back in H/S), what the pontential grandchildren might have looked like. Kinda nice to know that I can pull off straight acting/straight appearing . P.S. - It was sunny and 79 in Santa Barbara. Nice ocean breeze...*sigh*

I'm liking positive, optimistic people lately. I find myself being more drawn to them and avoiding or spending less time with negative, debbie downer types. Whenever I get exposed to negative people...you know, the ones who seem to complain or find fault in just about everything....It sucks the life out of you. It's no fun to hear how this is pissing them off, or that's bothering them all the time. Don't get me wrong, we all gripe. But the glass is not always half full. Positive/encouraging people are just more fun to be around. For example, we were running intervals last tuesday and after a particular grueling set, one of the guys smiles and says 'good job'. No big deal, but it did make me feel a little better (especially as I was gasping for breath). The opposite happened at a dinner party on saturday night with a bunch of friends from work. It turned into a giant complaint fest and I probably walked out of there more drained then when I arrived. That's not what dinner & drinks with friends was supposed to be. But instead of just hanging around with positive people and get the benefit, I realized that I had a resposibility to be positive too. That other people might be drawn to the same things I'm being drawn to. So in honour of lent, I'm going to try being less bitchy and try to be a more optimistic/positive person. You know, try to smile more . I'll also try to avoid negativity (or at least not acknowledge/encourage it). Take Care®, Vic

Nice pictures 2nd most senior domaholic. And you look cute as a boy too!

Hey Now, that was way back in Chapter 11, like 10 years ago. Milo's brooding self has kinda grown on me.

Yeah, I'm not sensing that Joe's gay. His avoidance of not only Nelson, but of Haily & Caleb makes him seem really uncomfortable with the whole situation. There's probably pressure from both Haily & Caleb for Joe to be more protective of Nelson. Jerry's probably going to replace Joe in their little clique.

I liked being surprised and happy in the end. Oh no, look what that acronym spells --- SHITE

Yes yes, it appears we have the answers to all of our questions (well, at least from Ch 16). It wasn't until I re-read the chapter that I realized that it was Jerry who gave Milo the bruise. Nelson will probably get blamed for that one too. The interaction with Jame was pretty funny, but I think Nels pretty much has Jame figured out. It doesn't matter whether Jame's attraction to Milo is platonic or not...it seems like Jame is doing what's best for Jame, and not Milo. I wonder how Milo will react to Jame when he realizes what Jame had done. I'm hopeful that Mr. Trust will take some of what Nelson said to heart. Maybe Juanita & Emily can help in that regard. I didn't really see the ending as a cliffhanger . You know the boys are going to find a way outta there (maybe with Leanne and/or Chad's help). Overall, nice chapter. Makes me feel hopeful. I don't feel so anxious . Take Care®, Vic

It's up!
