With all the drama of smith's recent decision, I thought we might need something that makes us smile, if perhaps only for a moment.

THIS is something most gay guys feel greatly worried about if they have themselves, it seems. Many would not even consider being with another gay guy who has this.

Personally though, I find it rather cute and adorable I have to say. Smile

I stumbled upon that Gilbert Grape movie on TV just now and for some reason I decided to google it so I could find out what the heck it's about (it's so weird if one starts watching it in the middle it could practically be a David Lynch movie). I found this review on Amazon and just found it extrordinarily funny. I had to make ASCII graphics for the single star the reviewer awarded it.

I'm sure none of you will see the funny in it, but I'm making this post anyway in a sort of "what the heck" manner. Tomorrow, probably not even I will understand myself. Smile

*oooo Utter Crap, May 17, 2004
Reviewer: Richard Baas from Tallahassee, Florida USA
This movie was disgusting. It makes jokes about obesity & retardation. I find neither one of these issues to be humorous. I also found the movie to be quite depressing. I expected so much more from Johnny Depp. Also I never believe it to be a good idea for a non mentally handicapped person to portray one in movies. To think Dicapprio was nominated for an Oscar is enough to make me doubt the sanity of the Oscar committee.

The world does not end when someone leaves. We have light things and dark things here. The prayer for Sammy is a serious topic. smith is merely loved. Sammy has a fight to win. And levity has its place.

I'm not about to wear a black armband because a friend has felt it necessary to withdraw his stories. Smile

You know, the stories are just stories, and smith is just a guy. Just like me. I don't see why we all should wear black and mourn him like he's dead, because that's what you seem to want to do.

I wear black every day, Sparks, in my mind. My life is constant misery, hopelessness and despair, with a few weakly shining bright spots here and there that I try to cling to as best I can to not get completely lost in the darkness that surrounds me. I need a smile or two just to be able to continue existing, do you understand?

I can't imagine people showing HALF the interest in me and mine as they've done so far about smith's withdrawal, even if I *did* die. Am I bitter about it? Yeah, a little probably, but mostly because I thought we were friends and he has chosen not to speak to me in more than half a year for no particular reason (that I can see anyway). That hurts, you know. I'm a person too that needs friends, and I don't have enough of 'em that I can just lose some of them along the way, you know? You probably don't know this, but I was the one, or at least ONE of the ones, who convinced smith to send in the first part of "Just Hit Send" to Timmy.

You can think whatever you want of me, but in the future I would prefer if you keep your opinions to yourself, because I have a right to exist and express myself too without permission, and I don't need any grief from YOU. I have enough of that from myself, thankyouverymuch.

Now you've made me angry, and I sit here stewing, alone in my glum little apartement that I haven't stepped outside for the entire day. Haven't heard from Asian Boy either and I don't expect I ever will.

When I get angry, I get depressed. It's seven minutes past midnight, and this is my life, such as it is. I sure hope yours is better.

-- because i haven't been able to catch you on any of my messenger program bouncing today, particularly MSN.

i hope you're doing okay, and i read your story and i LOVE it, i love (though not the situation itself) the situation involving the babysitter. not because it happened, but because you don't normally see the assault coming from a person like that--usually it's an adult male. this gave a good twist that actually happens more than people know. and the interaction between the two characters concerning it gave me sad shivers but also smiles.

it's been a very bad day with no one to talk to (or, willing or wanting to). you are not the only one who is one of the left-behinds. i seem to be popular, now, for being the one to talk to when no one else is available. and when they are? screw me. i say this because through a particularly bad moment today, it was finishing reading your story that made me forget about things for awhile.

so thank you for that, and thank you for writing it. hopefully i catch you soon.
