d+b 34.639 words five parts [ prologue. ] Ever since puberty hit him, full-force and right between the ears, Dom had this problem . It wasn’t serious and he didn’t need to take medication or anything of the sort. At least, he didn’t think he had to. He never saw a doctor about it, but sometimes he thought maybe he should. The first time it happened was with Shelley Fisher. Dom thought she was cute, and one day in science class, she sat next to him and ruffled his hair, then she—she kissed...

His hair is light and fine, straight strands that cling desperately to my hands with static electricity (don't let go!), simple hairstyle and straight bangs gone crazy beneath my fingertips. When I pull them away, he is sulking in that sullen way he has, the one that no one recognizes unless they spend too much time watching him (as you do), unless they are his friend (which you are not, not really), and I smile at his indignancy, too caught by the scent of his shampoo to answer him with anything...

Title: Failure By Design Pairing: Matt/Jere Rating: NC-17 - for themes, content and sex Disclaimer: not real. thought up by my sick mind. Comments: first time i wrote an ED related fic with a relationship involved. And I wanted to write something sick, but not in the conventional "bloody" type sick. I kinda like this fic, which is why I kept bothering with it and got it beta-ed. Sorry if you hate me for this fic ._. it was just something i wanted to write. And it's just a standalone/oneshot. Big...

The incredible Tina Fey wrote a great entry detailing the joys of www.datejesus.com. Check out his book and other product recommendations, find out about bathing with him and/or going on a date with him. Apparently he's in the Northern Virginia/DC area these days. Perhaps I should give him a call or IM him ( Automatic Jesus ). According to his website: In most cases Jesus will be available and eager to speak to you about spirituality if desired. If you are not spiritual, Jesus will share a...

Thanks to blackfelicula for the black bean chili recipe . I fiddled with it a little to make meat chili suitable for kareila . Start with 1/2 lb ground beef over high heat. Add 1 tsp taco seasoning (storebought, or keep a bag of mixed spices around like I do -- I'll figure out my recipe if anyone's curious) as the meat cooks. When nearly browned, lower to medium heat and continue with Maureen's recipe, skipping the oil. I also used two 15.5 oz cans of black beans, because that...

Well, its an interesting bunch, the word 'populist' has been thrown around. I think the three strong female vocalists here (Joss Stone, Jamelia and Amy Winehouse) will cancel each other out. Ditto the two Coldplay heir apparents (Keane and Snow Patrol). Basement Jaxx and Belle & Sebastian are veteran acts who I don't think have a shot at winning, but its nice to see them here. My money is on Mike Skinner's The Streets walking away with it, he is hot at the minute, much in the same way that Ms Dynamite...

Yule/Alban Arthan: Dec. 19-21 2003. Red Oak Grove Alban Arthan was held at a cabin in the woods somewhere in southern New Jersey. Again it was celebrated with ROG, and it consisted of an entire weekend at the cabin. The specific ritual was an entire vigil from sunset to sunrise. At sunset, we gathered around the altar, which had eight large candles on it. As each hour passed, one candle was blown out an hour. There was no other light allowed in the cabin at all, except for the fire in the fireplace...

Imbolc/Canol Gaeaf: Jan. 31, 2004. Red Oak Grove For Imbolc we gathered at the house of a member of ROG and held the ritual indoors at noon (started later than we thought it would). We called on our main deities—Don and An Dagda, Brigit, Lleu, Rhiannon, and Cernunnos, which included channeling Brigit and Cernunnos during the ceremony. The rite consisted of the usual liturgy I’ve seen at ROG, including the honoring of the kindred, the acknowledgement of the Outdwellers, the honoring of Misingkalikan...
