The Shack

Wet Dream Of The Week:

Gabe Nevins - Does anybody else ever wonder how many hundreds of really cute boys Gus Van Sant goes through before he picks one for his next movie? This pretty 16 year old blond cutie made the cut for the movie "Paranoid Park", and I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open to see more from him in the future. John Robinson is a hard act to follow in the 'GVS movie blond hottie' category.

This is really embaressing for me to talk about, but I need some advice. -- Irony, 16:38:32 02/08/08 Fri
I don't really like talking about this stuff because I get really awkward about it.

Basically, my boyfriend and I were together last weekend, and we were 'fooling around', and - at the risk of sounding pretentious - one thing lead to another, and we were basically about to have sex. My boyfriend's, how should I say, rather well endowed in the girth area of things.

Long story short, we were trying for a very long time, and it wouldn't work. We used lube, we tried loosening; in the end, we only managed to get about an inch in.
It wasn't the pain or anything, it just wouldn't physically go in.

Just a note, it was only my second time as a bottom. My first was with another guy quite a few months ago, and he was a lot smaller, so I'm not really 'stretched'.

I also realise that I sound like a complete idiot writing this. I was just wondering if anyone has anything to suggest?

You can also just mock me. That's cool too.

This just about killed me!!!

a reminder that adult words are often taken literally.....

> A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently Been circumcised and he was quite itchy.
>
>
>
> The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did and returned to his class.
>
> Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his 'private part' hanging out.

> 'I thought I told you to call your mom!' she said. 'I did,' he said, 'And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school.'

A very loud, unattractive, mean-spirited woman walked into Wal Mart with
her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the door.

Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"

> The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't.
The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think
they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"

little more calmness -- ts88, 17:27:52 02/07/08 Thu
I am passing this on to you because it definitely
works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.
Dr Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished." So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.
You have no idea how fucking good I feel right now.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Today Marks the day of 3 beautiful years together!!! -- TurtleBoy (: D), 12:53:08 02/11/08 Mon
3 years / 1095 days / 26 280 hours / 1 576 800 minutes / 94 608 000 seconds and counting.

We have definitely had our fair share of ups and downs, but we lived through it together.

I just wanted to share ten things I love about you�

1) Hazel eyes, for the way you look at me
2) Laugh, which changes every second week
3) Touch, so gentle, skin so smooth
4) Scent, comforting, sharp, and fresh
5) Pride, no one can bring you down
6) Your TUMMY! Mmmm
7) The way you make me feel inside
8) Everyday events, you can turn anything into a story worth hearing
9) Dancing, for every random moment(weirdo)
10) Compassion, you help anyone in need

The way you crouch to hug me, your sense of style, your crazy raps, tickle fights, Endless chats of nothing, your addiction to cookies, and wings(not together). The way your eyes water when you tilt your head just before you sneeze. The way you describe me, the way you hold me. How every walk to anywhere, can become an adventure. Trips to the mall, after too much caffeine��

�..Sorry, I�ll stop now. I love you Bertram Happy 3 Years!!!

Shack Trivia For 2/7 -- Comicality, 01:19:15 02/07/08 Thu

I am still in the middle of a big 'change' here behind the scenes as far as 'Comsie-Work' is concerned, and that's gonna take the rest of the week. But don't think that I forgot about ya!

Besides, message boards and emails are a pleasant break between periods of insanity! Hehehe! So, here is this week's trivia question! How's THIS one for a curve ball?

In the story, "Whispered Words - Remixed", the main character falls in love with a boy named Nick that works in the same restaurant with him. Three part question:

1) On his first day, Nick rushes into work late. What time does he come in (exactly)?

2) How many times did Nick have sex with his first boyfriend?

3) Do Nick and Jess ultimately stay together in the end?

You've gotta get all three questions right! So give it a shot! :)

A show of hands? -- Comicality, 04:05:10 02/07/08 Thu

Ok...I want to ask a question, and if you've heard anything, please give me an honest answer. Cause I'm kinda curious as to where this came from.

I've been answering emails the last day or two, and there is a pretty big 'rumor' going around that I'm now getting asked about more and more as I go on.

Have ANY of you heard anything about me making a movie version of "Gone From Daylight"? Like...an actual, big screen, big budget, film about "GFD"?

Because the questions I've gotten have been pretty specific, and often from different sides of the globe entirely. And it's not just, "It would be cool if this was a movie!"....it's more like, "I heard..." and "Someone told me..." and "Is it true that..." which has gotten me curious.

So have any of you heard this rumor? Let me know. And you don't have to mention any names or anything, but if you can, let me know where you heard this. So far, the biggest confusion has been because the Cranberries evidently have an album called "Gone From The Daylight", but that's been it. This "GFD" movie talk has got me wondering if maybe I'm the last to know about this. :P

If it were up to me, and someone like the Wachowski brothers wanted to do a big screen trilogy, I'd DEFINITELY say yes!!! (Besides, they're Chicago boys! Psh! How could I say no?) Hehehe, I'd grin for the rest of my life, I swear! But as far as actual 'plans' of me officially licensing the story out to be made into a movie...it hasn't happened. Scout's Honor!

ok new posting being quiet so a speak day question -- moonwolf (waking up), 06:20:02 02/05/08 Tue
ok a quick question I thought to ask you all... some people have certains restrictions when it comes to sex, they prefer to wait for a real boyfriend before doing certain things, it's sacred for them. For others it's all ok, they're able to just let go

Now is there any sexual acts that you reserve only for your special one ? For me my butt is reserved only for my boyfriend... (still single btw) it's a sacred thing, him entering me is allowing him to know me inside out that's for me...

how about you guys and girls ? Is there anything that is sacred when it comes to sex for you ? Do you reserve yourself for certain acts waiting for that special someone or you can let go whoever the person is?

Hey guys, just dropping by to let you know that the GFD Wiki has moved house! I felt that the project had stagnated somewhat, but was also not reaching its full potential due to the limitations of the website we were using. To this end I have now relocated the GFD Wiki to a new website and have recently (with the help of Omeg) been able to migrate the wiki to the new site and am currently in the process of adding new articles and info.

If anyone is interested in contributing to the site then please feel free to join up and start adding stuff. Registration is free and the process is explained on the site. If you have no idea what I'm talking about or don't know what a wiki is, then just drop by the site and take a look, there are explanations and tutorials on there.

Shack Trivia for 1/31... -- Comicality, 04:05:36 01/31/08 Thu

I had to work super late tonight, so I didn't get a chance to make an email announcement today. BUT, "Billy Chase 135" did go up on the site and the Library Wednesday as scheduled. So if you haven't checked it out yet, it's there waiting for ya. Cool?

Anyway, here's todays two-part trivia question!

In the "Blood Bank" exclusive story, "GFD: Nightfall", the main character, 'Cylance', goes out to a night club called the Meat Locker to murder two of the vampires responsible for crossing him over into darkness.

1) What were the names of the two vampires he was coming to take his vengence out on?

2) What extra little 'weapon' did he bring with him from the Talbot house? (No...it wasn't his twin sabers!)

He was about 16 or 17 years old, hair dyed jet black, light blue eyes, rail thin, black mascara, tight grey jeans and a spiked belt. The second I saw him, you were the first thing I thought of. If I see him again, I'll box him up and mail him to ya! ::Nods::

We aren't allowed to smoke in bars anymore (like most other countries in europe), government is allowed to search our computers over internet and log our internate traffic and ips and everything, and other very disturbing laws are being discussed, or in the making...

I honestly think about leaving germany, maybe even europe! So when i read about people talking about leaving USA for similar reasons, where the hell can i actually immigrate to?
Is Canada cool? Or Australia, New Zealand,... what are my options?
Oh, and if your from germany or europe (and if you are not, you can still answer ^^): What do you think about the changing laws, and the general political direction the European Union is going?

Im really honestly interested in all opinions... for its really really worrying me...

Her neighbor replied, "Well, it may sound absurd but here's what to do. Tonight there's no moon. After dark go out into your garden and take all your clothes off. Tomatoes can see in the dark and they'll be embarrassed and blush. In the morning they'll all be red, you'll see."

It sounded strange, but she was very tired of green tomatoes, so she gave it a try.

The next day her neighbor asked how it had worked.

"So-so," she answered. "The tomatoes are still green but the cucumbers are all four inches longer."

ok an easy question this time...

In all the stories Comsie... what is your favorite read ?

ok I guess it is real easy... let's make this a bit tricky if you decide to put an answer like NKIS, GFD, class by himself, billy chase, ect... any series lol then you have to choose ONE particular chapter

as for me... it would be the 2nd chapter of GFD, I laughed, I had tears in my eyes, I got aroused... just a wave of mixed emotions in one read

so what about you guys ?

oh and Big Comsie, I got a question for ya as well

a public apology to someone and a thank you to Casper -- moonwolf, 05:14:09 01/27/08 Sun
since I don't know if you want your name displayed or not as I didn't see your nick on display I'll make it anonymous

I want to say that I am truly sorry for leaving the way I did earlier... I got a call and next thing you know they're ringing the doorbell to pick me up... I should have warned you that I had to leave and then leave, not just disconnecting everything which is what I did... again I'm truly sorry for doing that

now Casper and anonymous gave me this idea that perhaps I should remind people of one little simple thing, it has always been said in a no need to say it sort of way for quite a while now...

I guess I just want to make it public and loud and clear

if you guys ever need to express your feelings on anything that might be happenning in your life just know that we are always here

be it on the Shack, the chat, by e-mail...

we don't judge on personnal matters... ok we might disagree on certain topics (any family does that huh ?) but when it comes to lending an ear or to support one of our own, we're all one big family... and you guys are part of it just by reading ANY of our posts... you don't have to answer it just reading this makes you a part of our family we're just an e-mail away if you need to vent or ask questions or seek advice or just know us

I'm here moonwolf52000@yahoo.com,

so i think everybody needs to pipe up a little bit and share a piece of their minds.

"don't just shrug, content to be a conscientious slug. It's fine to to feel contented, safe and snug, but soon enough contented turns to smug, don't shovel what uncomfortable underneath the rug. speak up! get sore! do something more than just deplore."

and now...

when it comes to dating there are mainly 2-3 basic ways to approach it, you can hunt or you can be the prey or mix it up :P

What do YOU do ?

Do you prefer to be a hunter or a prey ? Or perhaps you just mix it up as it goes ?

How do you like to be approached ?

when it comes to dating, normally there is the basic plans, coffee, dinner, a movie,

sometimes we have a spark of imagination when making those plans

Now what is the most unusual place you went to date someone ?

In my case... it was an art museum :P (not reccommended on a 1st date :P )

how about yours ?

I was watching the local news, and every tuesday they have a segment called "tuesday's child" in which they highlight one child in Rhode Island who is in need of adoption. Well, this week they had a 13 year old boy named Zach....

He's an everage kid, likes climbing and stuff.... But what really made him tug at my heart was this: "I don't care if I have a mom and a mom or a dad and a dad, I just want to be a part of a family" (something to that effect).... Hope some great folks snatch that boy up and do all they can to keep a spirit so bright from dimming one bit.

What else can you say? Kids like this.... they bring dignity back to the world. You'll find love, Zach, don't worry.

I've pretty much been trying to hold back from tossing my keyboard through the screen for the last hour and a half. So before I get myself all riled up, I figured I'd come in and say hello while I try to relax. Hehehe!

Sorry. Tripod is being an asshole today. And a post that should have taken all of thirty minutes is now going into it's fourth hour because I can't get in. I swear, if I ever get rich, I'm gonna get the biggest fastest super computer known to man. I want it to be faster than the brain impulses telling me to move my fingers and type in the commands that tell it what to do. :P

Anyway, as I said in my mailing list announcement last night, I finally got a chance to see the tv show, "Skins", for the first time yesterday. I only saw one episode...but JESUS! I think I fell in love with like THREE people in the first 15 minutes! I think I'm going to like this show! Hehehe! And of course, Nicholas Hoult has always been cute, and getting cuter the older he gets. But that Mitch Hewer....wow, I didn't expect that one. I'm letting you know right now, he's got next week's WDotW locked down! No question! :)

Today is payday (yippeee), and I'm going by the post office when I get a chance. Don't have to go to work until late, which is a plus. But I also come home late, which will make for a super long day tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a much more relaxing week next week. PRAY for me! Hehehe!

Other than that, life has been a bit uneventful outside of work, sleep, and 'Comsie'. But it's relaxing. It's been a decent balance, so I ca't complain.

Anyway, just waving hello! I'm gonna see if I can get into my files again. Wish me luck...

Seezya soon!

I just had a strange dream in my few hours of sleep one was with Elijah Woods and the other was with Matt (my postponed date,(see other speak week reply for info.))Dreaming of doing one and dating the other, all in separate dreams in the same night... go figure :P

it gave me the idea for today speak week question I should say questions

Let's say for a minute that the whole world was bisexual ( As Diva once said in GFD straight doesn't exist,
it's only means they're giving instead of receiving :p )

Absolutely everyone ( I mean EVERYONE) is available meaning we're all single and they would say yes if you asked them out or if you asked to do them
and we are not affected by distance here I mean it doesn't matter if they live in the Us, Canada, the UK, Egypt

Who would be your dream date ? By that I mean really dating you know movies, candlelight dinner, flowers the works :)

and 2nd with whom would you have mind-blowing sex with ? ;)

Now remember there is no ahh shit he's/she's straigth or argh!! why does he/she have someone in his life ?!!

and let's make this a little tricky :) I want four answers by reply because we include actors, singers, politicians, authors
(if anyone says George W bush *shivers* I throw them a book ugh! )
and the 2nd part are people you know in your personnal life friends, co-workers, your step-brothers/sisters :P

so the questions would be
1a who would be your dream date in ''known'' people ?
1b who would be your dream date in your inner circle ?

2a who would you do in an instant in ''known'' people ?
2b who would you do in an instant in your inner circle ?

Now think about it and answer !! :P
I'm posting my answers tonight I better see some replies before :P jk

Heath Ledger Found Dead in NYC at Age 28 -- E.J., 17:49:16 01/22/08 Tue
Heath Ledger Found Dead in NYC at Age 28
Jan 22, 6:29 PM (ET)
By TOM HAYS

NEW YORK (AP) - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan apartment, naked in bed with sleeping pills nearby, police said. The Australian-born actor was 28. It wasn't immediately clear if Ledger had committed suicide.

He had an appointment for a massage at a residence in the tony neighborhood of SoHo, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers gathered outside the building on an upscale block. Ledger's body was still inside, and several police officers guarded the door.

The medical examiner's office planned an autopsy Wednesday, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.

While not a marquee movie star, Ledger was a respected, award-winning actor who chose his roles carefully rather than cashing in on his heartthrob looks. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain," where he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film. The two had a daughter, Matilda, and lived together in Brooklyn until they split up last year.

Ledger most recently appeared in "I'm Not There," in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan - as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.

Ledger had finished filming his role as the Joker this year in "The Dark Knight," a sequel to 2005's "Batman Begins."

He's had starring roles in "A Knight's Tale" and "The Patriot," and played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball." He also played a heroin addict in the 2006 Australian film "Candy."

Before settling down with Williams, Ledger had relationships with actresses Heather Graham and Naomi Watts. He met Watts while working on "The Lords of Dogtown," a fictionalized version of a cult classic skateboarding documentary, in 2004.

Ledger was born in 1979 in Perth, in western Australia, to a mining engineer and a French teacher, and got his first acting role playing Peter Pan at age 10 at a local theater company. He began acting in independent films as a 16-year-old in Sydney and played a cyclist hoping to land a spot on an Olympic team in a 1996 television show, "Seat."

After several independent films, Ledger moved to Los Angeles at age 19 and co-starred opposite Julia Stiles in "10 Things I Hate About You," a teen comedy reworking of "The Taming of the Shrew."

Offers for other teen flicks soon came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.

"It wasn't a hard decision for me," Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. "It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, 'You're crazy,' my parents were like, 'Come on, you have to eat.'"

His movie career caught on anyway, culminating with his Academy Award nomination opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in "Brokeback."

"Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan said earlier this month that Ledger's performance as the Joker would be wildly different than Jack Nicholson's memorable turn in 1989's "Batman."

"It was a very great challenge for Heath," Nolan said. "He's extremely original, extremely frightening, tremendously edgy. A very young character, a very anarchic presence that taps into a lot of our basic fears and panic."

So...there's this guy I used to work with. I haven't seen him in like two years, but when we worked together we were great friends. We had a whole lot of the same interests, I.E. we both are big Stephen King fans, comic book nerds, sci-fi fans, we have the same taste in video-games and music. We just clicked, you know?

And, I'm not ashamed to say, I had a HUGE crush on him.

Like, whoa.

Well, a while back, while chatting online he told me he was bisexual. I came out to him, and we've been keeping in touch pretty well, but I never dreamed I'd have a snowball's chance in Hell with him.

Yesterday, he was dropping hints. At one point when we were talking about art, he meant to say, "You do good art" but made a typo and said, "You do good artist". I fired back with, "As far as I know, I'm not 'doing' any artists."

He said, "You could beee".

He's an artist too.

Lol

At the end of the conversation, he gave me his number and told me to call him. Not in the normal 'guy' way, like "Hey dude, give me a call", but in the flirtatious "Call me sometime" way. Lol.

I dunno, maybe I'm looking too far into this, but I think he's sending out some signals. What do you guys think? We're going to hang out soon, and I'll know more then, but do you think I have a shot?

Either way, wish me luck!
