Shaving Mishap

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hey BC, last week I had a go at shaving my legs for the first time. Turns out it was a bad idea as I was unprepared, though I managed not to cut myself at least. My advice if you have lots of hair have a bag full of disposable razors at the ready. I blunted mine before I got past my knees and whilst it could still handle the longer hairs it could no longer get the stubble; that was itchy for a while. I fixed it by buying some hair removal cream so I'm fine now. Probably should have asked for some advice before I tried but whats done is done.

Character Names

Sorry to vent.

But what's with these names? We had Jackson Browne as a black manual laborer a few weeks ago, and now we're seeing James Worthy as a white business executive.

We're talking about Hall of Famers here, authors -- people are going to recognize the names and get distracted when they're inappropriate. I do, anyway.

I need a good author

I am looking for a good author who is willing to help me tell my life story. I am a 32 year old man, I have lead an average life for the most part, except I am ADHD and I am sure I have some other mental issues, after all ADHD is a mental illness. I have had battled with myself and other and life has not been easy. You may want to know how my life will make a good story, well sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll are involved along with drama and love. I am trying to get treatment for my issues and get my life on track. I would like to get started on a Bio ASAP.

Blown Away by Performance - Kelli O'Hara

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Monday on the Capital 4th program on PBS, I was blown away by Kelli O'Hara's voice in a duet with Matthew Morrison singing Tonight from West Side Story. I was not previously familiar with Ms O'Hara. The performance is posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT5VUulLssg . The duet starts about 4:17. It's well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

I'm Kristine Roland's Wife. And you're a great bunch!

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

First, thank you all for the offer of giving me a place in your home. I do appreciate it, I've now created an account, and I may drop in on occasion. Unfortunately, it doesn't really solve the problem.

The problem is this: because Kristy is a CD, because TGs are a (very short) step up from unacceptable in our world, the two of us have decided not to out hir. Which means that, publicly, I can't say anything about it. Which means, it all lives in a box and I can't integrate my whole life anywhere.

Summer, Tesla Coils and Editing

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hey Everyone, college has broken up for the summer and I'm planning to spend a lot more time writing. I'm also, as a slightly random idea, going to build a tesla coil. I'm probably going to build the type that uses a spark gap but it would be awesome if I could build a solid state, which can be used to play music (if tuned right anyway).

I would also like to have a go a some editing so if anyone has a story/chapter that they want editing please send it my way. I wont feel insulted in any way if you send it in for a second opinion as I have never done this before

Gaby Tales

Hi peeps

Over the last few years Angharad and I have written a number of pretty much standalone Gabysodes for various competitions and events. Some of these have been widely seen on the internet, others have only limited distribution.

I thought it would be nice to bring a selection of these tales together in one single volume so if you have missed their previous appearances or simply like to see Gaby in print, this one’s for you.

So here it is, Gaby Tales, ten Gabysodes that sit outside of the main stream of either Angharad's or my own main Gaby storylines.

Story Suggestion(s)?

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I'm mainly posting this story suggestion request because I'm finding it harder and harder to find stories which I really like.

1. The kind of story that I'm looking for should preferably revolve around a main character that's around 12 to 25 years (or ends up around that age through age regression). The main thing is that the character ends up going to a school of some sort (high school, collage or university), this makes it easier to relate to and I just like the kind of environment it provides for the character (will she fit in or not and things like that)

Ignore list

I've got a question about the ignore list function. I just ignored another author by accident again, and I wanted to ask if there is a possibillity to deactivate the ignore button, or have a pop-up-window that asks if I really want to ignore the user.

Yes I know how to remove an author from the list, it is just really annoying.

I Think this School District could have problems with this being what state this happen in! Richard

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A 15-year-old boy has been suspended from school after wearing high heels and a dress to school as a part of a challenge laid down by his mother.

Sam Saurs, a ninth grader at Sedgwick Junior High School in Port Orchard, said he told his mother that wearing high heels wouldn't be that hard. Saurs' mother challenged him to try it and he accepted. To take it even further, he decided to wear a dress, too.

A few days ago, I sent a word document to a friend to give her a smile and perhaps think about a tour of Portsmouth, where I live.

As all you merry band of followers of EAFOAB or ‘Bike’ or even The Daily Dormouse will know, this is where the story is based.

There is Dickensian London, Bronte Country and even Hardy’s Wessex. But we have a new addition; Cathyland.

Many thanks for Puddintane for all the help and advice in making the following possible, the errors are mine alone.

Maine legislature rejects bathroom bill

UPDATE: 11:29 AM ET:

The Maine Senate has just joined the House in rejecting a bill that would have repealed protections for transgender people under the Maine Human Rights Act. LD 1096 would have allowed restaurants and schools to adopt their own policies for restroom use and stripped away the ability of transgender people to file discrimination lawsuits if they were denied access to a rest room that did not correspond with their biological sex.

Unhappy man's suicide from Sissy Boy experiments at UCLA?

This is an account of the effects of experiments from some years ago to try to be keep a feminine boy from becoming gay. It was carried out at UCLA, and this person was not the only one. He did, however, kill himself at 38, a very unhappy man who always felt he was "broken" after the "therapy" and the recommended re-inforcement on a reward and punishment system through physical abuse by the parents. Note that this is just part of the story on CNN tonight.
