We do not talk to the virgins and under 18 folks in such a way. I was not cussing out James the virgin

It was a bit different Other One :king: Snow Dog <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think if we do enough of these, someone's going to be able spell our real names

The meaning to the title of the story 'The Lo(n)g Way' is answered here in the Domaholic's FAQ Take Care, Vic the Domaholic

James, Dom also has a short story titled 'The spirit of James'. The Log Way (TLW) is my favorite, but I'd also read The Ordinary Us (TOU). Vic P.S. - I'd also read Desert Dropping (DD)

Happy Birthday fruitloop!!!! Happy sweet 16 Xan . Hope you have a great birthday with friends and loved ones. And good luck on getting your drivers license. Take Care, Vic

Lore are you serious? Mine just came from the mailman and I haven't even opened the box yet. You weren't doing a speed reading things where you were just making a Zorro Z with your finger over each page were you? Vic

Shadows, I ordered my HP book from Amazon and the mailman will be delivering it later this afternoon. So I have time to answer your question I suppose I'm a late bloomer, I didn't come out to myself or anyone else until I was 27. Now looking back on it, I know I was gay at like 12-13, but I didn't admit it to myself until I was 27. Once I came out to myself, I lost 60 lbs (I was fat at 215lbs, then got down to 155lbs) and over the course of the next year I came out to some of my friends, then my sister and cousins, then eventually everyone else (including the folks). Most of them while surprised, did say they always suspected. As others have mentioned you should come out at your own time when you feel comfortable doing so. At least you are out to yourself at this point (and you are out to all of us online ). I don't know your situation, your family, your town, etc. But I think you should hope for the best if you plan on telling anyone, but prepare for the worst. My opinion is that you should be prepared for rejection and should only come out to your family when you are financially secure/independent. You don't want your folks kicking you out of the house or not paying for college or sending you to a camp if they don't take your gayness well. In coming out to a friend or friends, same advise. Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. Will your friend reject you? Will they blab? Hopefully you will find other gay guys your age in your area that you can talk and relate too. My coming out experience actually went well. Most of my friends and family were and are supportive. My BF comes to all the family functions and when my folks took the entire family on a cruise, there was no question that the BF would not be joining us. Looking back on things, I wish I would have come out at least to myself and others much sooner, probably during college would have been ideal for me. There is so much I missed out on in college being closeted, including this 'guy'. I know now that he was interested back then (we laugh about it now), but at the time he didn't know I was gay, I said so many homophobic things, and he was scared I would reject him. And for the kids and moms in the forums, cover your ears (check, make that your eyes), I wish I came out earlier because I missed being gay during my sexual prime. I never had my 'whore' phase and I could have been having regular sex with 'the guy'. Take Care and good luck with whatever you decide, Vic

All it takes is a naughty post from Dom and JC comes out of hiding. Good to hear from you JC, it's been too long Vic 'Dom's #2 fan after JC' the Domaholic

2 in the left ear and 1 in the right ear. Very vanilla now a days, but back in the day, it was very 'gay'. Vic

I'm starting to put together a list of names for your intervention. It's quite the who's who of GA. Vic

It's almost here I can taste the marshmallows myself!!!!!! Latest word from Dom about TOU Chapter 14 I'll be a little torn because I get my Book Six of Harry Potter on Saturday, I hope TOU Chapter 14 doesn't come out at the same time. Vic the Happy Excited Domaholic!

Actually, having spend most of my life in the Chicago area, I call it pop. And for 'highways' we had names for them , The Dan Ryan, The Kennedy, The Eisenhower. But I digress, It's pop fools! Oh, and here is a Mizzou-ism. I was visiting a friend in St. Louis and we were dining at White Castle. I ordered a Diet Coke and my friend and the girl at the counter proceed to let me know that they hated Diet Coke, that no one drank Diet Coke, and that the only diet pop they would drink is Diet Dr. Pepper. It was one of those WTF type moments and I was thinking 'You inbred idiots', but since I was planning on sleeping with the friend, I think I just smiled and took the abuse. What are you teaching your people there Mark? Vic

I believe the only added benefit of getting to 250 posts is the new 'advanced member' title. I would hope that people aren't getting 'posting envy' and will post just for the sake of posting And to keep on topic, I sure wish Dom would 'Catch Up' and post his next chapter of TOU. I've been stuck with an image of Quinn grabbing Jude and kissing him on the lips (which are covered in marshmallow) for all too long. Vic the Domaholic

Mark & Snowey, You two are starting to sound more and more like Dan & Trebs. Get a room <Jeez, now it's love poems to each other >

Figernails removed and skin flayed away? Gulp DOM OR DAN, PLEASE POST A NEW CHAPTER SOON!!!!!!!! And not soon soon Dom, but SOON! <puts his hands in thick gloves, which sucks because it's going to hit 100 degrees today> Vic

Bitch -- oops, that's name calling -- Bitch :king: Snow Dog <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But weren't you happy/excited, even for just a few seconds? Your welcome Vic

Hey Snowey, haven't you checked the website yet for the new chapter? Maybe you should try refreshing the page. Vic

Hey Ben, Can I reserve space in your Flat for the Summer of 2012? Just me and a few friends. Thanks, Vic

Rating:(on a scale of 1 to 10) 10/10 Not only is Dom my all time favorite net author, but TLW is the best of all three (TLW, TOU, and DD). Favorite Character(s): Nicky & Ryan Why?:(what did you like about the character(s)?) Nicky & Ryan because they are the straight, loyal best friends. Both are positive influences and will back up their friends no matter what. Plus they're both hot (as described by Dom). Least Favorite Character(s): Mrs. Knightly (Aiden's Mom), Anna Crossle, and Janie Why?:(what did you dislike about the character(s)?) - Mrs. Knightly is selfish and lies to her own son, always looking out for her best interests at the expense of her son's. - Anna Crossle because she betrayed her friend and outed Owen to his folks. - Janie because she betrayed her friendship with Aiden and outed him to EVERYONE. Best Moment: Owen in the Hospital reuniting with his brothers for the first time in 3 years, telling Chris & Tony that he's gay, and then finding out that Tony's a mo too. That's still my favorite scene and it's when I became a Domaholic. Loose Ends?:(anything you're unsure about or left you confused) I guess there is a bitter part of me that wants some of Owen's nemesi to 'get their justice'...Like Owen's folks, Anna, Shane, Phil Clayton, etc. Comments on the Story: I LOVED IT! This has been the best net story I have ever read (and boy have I read a LOT). It's also turned me off reading so much of the 'cr*p' on nifty. I find myself not reading as much as before because they don't meet my new and higher standards. Vic

Trouble in paradise?

We may be "sphinctor (sic) spasmed" but we did help populate your nation and begin your modern civilisation (only you'd call it civilization I'm sure). Cheers, Neil <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So who r we gun a blame 4 the way sum 1 like Mikie types when he rites to Mr. Luka? Vik the Dom a hall ick

Hey Ben, I don't think Mark meant to include 'Phone Sex' in your total Vic

I just read in the paper that LOGO, Viacom's all gay channel will start broadcasting on 6/30/2005. Their website lets you check if your local cable provider or satellite provider will be broadcasting it. Logo's website
