That's sooooo good!!!!

I'm not going to say don't tell them, because that's your decision and I totally get what you're saying about wanting to be yourself, but make sure you do it at a safe time. I mean, I don't know what your parents are like. My mum totally hates that I'm gay, but she deals with it, and I knew I'd never have to worry about them disowning me or not helping me financially (I know no one likes to think about money etc but realistically most kids wouldn't get by at all without their parents help). Anyway, that might be the same kinda thing for your folks, like you know that they'd never do that so even if your dad took it badly, the worst outcome would be some awkwardness between you and him. If however you think there's a chance your folks could over react badly, then yeah, maybe have like a back up plan or something. Sorry if that's really depressing but I just thought I'd bring that up. Hopefully you read that and thought 'Oh my parents would never be like that'!!! Also, like someone else said, maybe you can talk to your aunt or uncle, or your gay cousins and see what they say? Either way, take care and do what you feel will be best for you

I'm not very good at analysing the point of movies most of the time, I tend to take things just at face value, but I think that was part of the point of the movie Kevin, I think you're meant to want to shake Ennis and tell him to wake up and take the chance he has in front of him. And I also think that they were in a situation where it wasn't just a little socially unacceptable to be gay, but something people could and did get killed for. I mean, was that why Jack ended up dead? Would it have been both of them if Ennis and he had lived together? I also don't think the characters are meant to be overly likeable, and it still works imo, I mean, even though you might not like them, you certainly felt for them right? I think that's a big acheivement for the writer/director/actor, to have people feel something for characters that aren't the most likeable, that are flawed and make bad decisions. After all, it's easy to feel for a character that you like, but when you feel for one that you don't, you know some pretty serious stuff is going on. It adds to the impact...anyhoo, that's just my thought on it

They're soooo cool!!! I'd love to see your idea of the other characters. For some reason when I read stories a chapter at a time I have trouble imagining how the character looks, so these were really cool to see. And Dom himself said he likes them so that must be extra cool!

Amazing chapter Dom!! Totally emotional!! I don't have enough brain power to say anything more eloquent. Me too, like maybe he won't feel like he has to cling on to his previous life to preserve memories of his mother, because maybe he's seen that he has them with him wherever he is. Also maybe Gina's (that is his mom's name right?) diary will explain clearly why she wanted him to go there.

Hehehe

That halo is mine and both you and deb know it so there!!!

Lol, I too was intrigued by the fly opening question, so I asked my female flatmate who has pretty long fingernails how she manages and she said you use the pads of your fingers instead of the tips...I'm not quite sure how that works, but apparently that's the way its done...wouldn't really long nails get in the way at other times too??

Lol, I think I got confused when I read the bit before the story but I'm glad to hear there'll be more of the story

I think if he was trying to make Aaron jealous the most effective thing to do surely would have been to let Rory blow him and then he could have told Aaron that...I think he just knows that Aaron is uber-manipulative and was worried about how he might have manipulated Rory.

I'd love to read what lead up to that scene? Are you really not going to write anymore of it?

I think that Rory's mom really wanted Rory to go and live with his dad, but Alice doesn't, and whatever's in the box will make him really want to stay with his dad. So that's why she's been reluctant to give it to him, buuuutt, she couldn't not give it to him because I mean, how guilty would you feel not giving a kid the last ever gift they'd have from their mother??

Noooo, it can't end soon, they still have to go on vacation!!!!!

That definitely isn't secret crush behavior. Don't get me wrong, just a few chapters ago I was sure that Luke and Rory would end up together, but now it's seems like that ship has sailed. ... I totally agree, if someone I really liked was telling me about some else that he'd kissed I'd be so...not smiling and stuff.... And I'm not sure who I want Rory to be with now, I think Seth is sooooo sweet, and thoughtful. Not many guys his age, when in the position that he was in (i.e. about to get a bj) would be responsible enoug to stop so that his...are we calling Rory his bf yet??...didn't get in trouble for being out past his curfew! And also the fact that he stopped Rory before that so that he could do Rory was really sweet too imo.

Just wondering is story of the year meant to be on the list twice? I only quickly read through so I might have misread...

Happy Birthday!! Hope it's a good one!!

Hey!! Well done!! I know how scary that is, I'm glad it went well.

He's hardly whoring it up, he's given one guy a bj and has kissed seth lol. That not being a ho imo.

Oooh, you know about this stuff Tim?? My bf's a capricorn/aquarius, what would that mean? Also, it's really cool to hear about Jim.

Hahaha

Cats scare me, I got scratched by one when I was little and now I imagine that they all have claws like small daggers

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

Loved it Dom!! I actually gasped when I got to the end, lol. I loooved the scene in Seth's room, they're so cute together even if they're not going to end up together at the end of the story (I kinda hope they are though, they're so cute, but then Luke...hmm...) can't wait for the next chapter!! I wonder if Aaron's actually going to be dumb enough to drive away with not just Rory in the car but Gail too?? Oh yeah, the other day I heard someone call the name Rory and immediately thought of DD

I know that this is more or less what everyone else has been saying, but things do improve...a few years ago my life felt so awful and I thought it could never improve, but now things have changed so entirely, a complete 180 degree turn. I guess that's not really helpful, but I just wanted to let you know that changes are possible.
