I never have anything to do in the afternoon, and I get bored... I can never motivate myself to write though, I a decent writer... but I get like two chapters into a story and just leave it for "later", ya later never comes. Well, anyway, I've been coming to Iomfats for about... well about a month before Just Hit Send was first posted... I just joined the forum because I felt I should probably start talking to people more. I'm interested in talking to everyone that talks on the forums and see what affilation you have with the site, I've written a few poems under the name Skylor and I always try to write a full story but I never can  I have good ideas just nothing to keep me on track unstead of lolly gagging around and never finishing my crap. The most of a story I wrote was about a hitman and I got about 5 chapters of it done then just quit writing it... I don't know where I'm going with this post except the fact I want to say hi to everyone and get to know who you all are.

Hey Skylor,
Yeah i know what you mean about writting, well sort of anyway. I think of myself as a good writter too but i have the opposite dificualty to yours. It takes me a while to start a story but once i have about two chapters done then i just keep writting, usualy i put in about an hour and a half each night until it's done. I think of writting a lot like i think of reading; i can't wait to find out what's going to happen next. That kinda sounds funny but it's how i feel. Anyway, the reason that nothing i've written is posted on this site or for that matter published anywhere is because it's hard to give up my writting for others to read. It's kinda like when you're child moves out (i'm guessing there cus i'm only 18 and i don't have a kid)
I have started several storys in the past that i only write a chapter and a half before i put it aside for latter and never write it. I think it's because i could't get into the story, and if i can't get interested in the story and i don't care about my characters then why should i force myself to write, my audence isn't going to care about those characters if i don't.
I am currently working on this amazing story that i've been thinking about considering to have posted on this site but it'll need some more work before then, it's 21 chapters and counting. an adventure set in the mountains of British Columbia (not far from where i live) and involves these two boys who....and then they....while at the same time....... 
Well give me a couple of months, i may just post it. If i can get over my unwillingness to give it up for others to read. My grandpa told me once, "You should share your writting with the world becuase your good at it and because it is art, art is made to be shared and when someone creats something beautiful it is a credit to us all."

Quickly,
I'm Pyro, i took that name not becuase i love to burn stuff (i got over that years ago) actualy i took that name to remember someone who...(i'm not sure if inspired is the right word.) well it's complicated, perhaps another time.
I'm 18.
Male and gay
favortie color is green (like forest green)
favorite number is 4 (born at 4:44PM on the forth month of 1986 but i'm a science geek too so i also like that four is an even number and the square of 2 and the forth dimension is time.)
I have a parrot, his name is Dexter, he's mean but cute and he owns me i don't own him.(that's the secret to a sucessful bird relationship)
ummm...single.
like ridding my bike in the park and curling but that's about it for my sports ability.
Did i mention that i like to post really long messages on the forum? i think i get a bit carried away. hmmm...yeah, this is rather long, i'm gonna stop now.
Take care,
Pyro.

Hey Pyro--
I know the feeling of being reluctant to send that story out into the hard, cold world to make it's own way. it's a hard step.
I'm looking for practice in editing. I'm working on one guy's stuff now, but i'm looking for a couple more. If you're interested in having another pair of eyes look over your work before you send it out, let me know. I've got a couple things posted on here if you're interested in seeing samples of my writing, and i'm more than happy to give one chapter of what you're doing a 'sample edit.'
cheers!

Thanks Pyro, very detailed, I like that
I'm 17 from the midwest US, I enjoy reading and spending time on the internet, and one really interesting thing about me is that my parents split and I moved with my dad, and soon after we moved out together he came out to the family which made it like 50 times easier for me~! (I think homosexuality is herititary btw)
I'd be very interested in roughing it with you to a complete story (Editing and Revising) I am brilliant you know, we all are as a race of humans.

Hey guys (Skylor & AJ)
Thanks for offering to help me with my story, I hope you understand though, that i'm going to need time to think about it and also there are some corrections i want to make on my own (to most of the 21 chapters i've already written) before i share it. That coupled with all the school work i already have means that i'm going to need some time before i'm ready to share.
Skylor, that story about your dad being gay, that's very interesting. In my family there is only one other gay person, (that i know of) and he's pretty far up and over on the family tree, none the less we are geneticaly related; (my grandmother's brother.)
You believe that being gay is herititary, that's very interesting also. Personaly i haven't given it much thought though, i'm gay and that's about all i really think about, the reason that i am this way never really entered into my mind. I do have a friend though who belives rather strongly that sexual preference is the result of a combination of major life events and therefore is a learned behavior. He has a few interesting arguments to back his opinion but i have a hard time accepting his idea because in my opinion, such a theory could lead to dangerous thinking on the part of the straight comunity. Their logic would be that if being homosexual is a learned behavior then why not simply "unlearn it." I don't think it's that easy and besides even if it were, to be honest, i would rather not 'unlearn' being gay, it's who i am and for better or worse it's not going to change for society. *steps off Blue's soapbox*
Godspeed,
Pyro.

I do think it is heritary but I also think it has to do with a part of the brain that is chemically and physically different. Like I was watching a show on Transvestites and a study they did resulted in noticing that a certain part of the brain in women is smaller than a man, and for males who want to be females they linked it back to that part of the brain being smaller, vise versa for female to male... I think it has something to do along those lines, but it's all in genetics baby! I happy being happy (gay) lol... I've never had a hard time really with being gay and i've grown up around gay people... I have two gay uncles who both have partners and my dad, It just wasn't hard for me to come to terms with myself... My dad's b/f / roommate said it took him 15 years to finally tell himself that he was in fact gay, he said he went through the phase were he thought being attracted to guys just a phase. Anywho, I gotta go sleep.
I'm glad you guys make me feel welcomed.

I wish i were sorounded by fags...
truth is, i probably am but i live in the conservative capitol of Canada, (we don't talk about such things, except in wispered conversation) so while other provinces are marying gays and throwing massive pride parades our premier is using his not-withstanding clause and saying publicly, "Over my dead body will two men marry in this province." (the part that pisses me off the most is not so much what he says as much as it is that the majority of people here think he's a great hero for doing this, and he's abusing the not-withstanding clause (feel free to read up on canadian provincial law but basicaly, although he can technicaly use this law for this purpose it really is an abuse of it.)) There is light at the end of the tunnel, this article for the Calgary Sun for insance, hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
Take care,
Pyro.

Not to give you a bad image of where i live, the people here are really nice, just a little homophobic. The country is beautiful, it's a great location, a very nice city. and we actualy do hold a yearly pride parade, (i lied, sorry.) it's rather small though, but still there. But to balance that, did i mention that there's a colony of white supremisists who own about 300-400 acres of land a few km out of town? there is. no one really talks about them either. I've always wondered what they do there, now that shooting and linching black people is illegal. Do they stand around and just be white? i dunno, people are weird.
Perhaps i'm not the best spokesperson for tourism Calgary, what can i say, it's great place but it has it's ups and downs just like everywhere. Tell you what, come visit, you'll be glad you did. (just don't show up at my door smilling and say "guess who needs a place to stay this weekend.")

> I'm surrounded by fags.
> I wish I was... Maybe I am...
Haha... and sigh... I know the feeling.
Even if the perfect guy threw himself at me and declared his undying love, I have no idea if I'm comfortable enough again to believe him. Well, alright, in any case, I'd want time to see if it were true. That would be a bit sudden. But, blast, I want love and, er, sex too. 
I envy you guys, being so comfortable with yourselves.
> white supremacists... what do they do, stand around being white?
LOL, probably they spend a lot of time cutting eyeholes out of white sheets. Life in the land of the brainless folk.
> learned behavior, genetic, chemical...
Hey, Pyro, glad my soapbox came in handy.  I don't think it's entirely learned. I was too interested for that to be so.

It doesn't just lead to dangerous thinking of the type you describe, it HAS led to that kind of thinking. Exodus International springs to mind--check out "The Drama Club" over on awesomedude.com if you want to read a little tale about that...among other things.
And don't worry about taking your time--it's all good.
cheers,
aj
