Thursday, April 7, 2005
Before I headed through to breakfast, I had the idea of slipping Dad my 8-ball winnings for him to buy me some more rubbers, but I remembered that I hadn't used any of the rubbers that he'd given me for my first date. I collected them all to give to Julia at school. I might as well keep them all at her place as I wasn't going to need them anywhere else, especially after the scare Mom and Dad gave me last night about reporters and lawyers.
I was gathering my breakfast when Carol walked into the kitchen. I put my arm around her, and said, "I'm going to miss seeing your face on those mornings you're at Julia's."
She hugged me back and said, "I'll miss your face too."
The literal idea of anyone missing my face surprised me, "Haha. Thanks for the sentiment, but I know which one of us has got a face that is FAR better to look at than the other."
Carol looked puzzled for a moment, then, "You aren't fair to yourself. You're a good looking guy."
Chuckling, I said, "Thanks, sis. I appreciate your loyalty, but you'll never convince me that my face comes close to your beauty."
During breakfast Mom said to Donna and me, "Remember you two have martial arts tonight. I'll drop Mark off at his, then I'll stay with Donna. That'll mean I'll be a few minutes late picking you up again, Mark, because Donna's class runs fifteen minutes after yours."
"That's fine."
In the car on the way to school, Carol said, "You might miss my face in the mornings, but we'll see more of each other at Julia's. We'll be able to study together, so it'll be easier for me to get your help with my homework. My grades should improve, haha."
I met up with Julia at school and slipped her the rubbers when we weren't being observed. She said, "I'm looking forward to not having to use these soon."
She saw my horrified expression and quickly explained, "I've already gotten my pills. My period starts in a day or two and I begin taking them then. Soon we won't have to worry about condoms. It'll be great to be able to feel the real you."
Stopping to put rubbers on and disposing of them afterward was a nuisance, so I nodded happily.
Julia continued, "Breakfast was very happy this morning. My family is looking forward to being involved in your life. Dad's given The Boys their orders this morning. Robert asked me to remind you to call him about your study layout tonight. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my life! It's great and going to get even better. How fantastic is that!"
"I don't understand how fantastic it is. I don't really know what's happening at your house. You all think I'm a bigger deal than I am, and I don't understand why?"
Julia reassured me, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad will answer your questions and no one will push you to do anything you don't want to. It's a win-win for everyone, especially you and me. When you come over on the weekend we can all have a good talk about it."
I drew out a rough plan for how I'd like my study laid out. Nothing fancy, just to ensure that there was enough room for two sets of work to be done at the same time, and that each hand could reach for whatever its mind needed without needing the whole body to get up and move. That mostly just needed a deep enough desk area with some handy shelves. I gave the plan to Julia, asking her, "Please pass this on to Robert, as I have Aikido tonight. He can call me after 7 if he has any questions."
It was a nice day, so Julia and I were reclined on the grass in our usual outdoor lunchtime spot when we saw Carol looking for us about fifteen minutes into lunchtime. We called and waved her over to us.
As she was about to sit down next to Julia, Julia said, "Sister, sit on the other side of Mark please."
Carol moved to do so, while asking, "Why?"
Julia leaned toward Carol across my front, so Carol matched her.
Julia answered, "Several reasons. To protect him from other girls. You would not believe how many other girls find him irresistible! He's a hunk and one of the nicest guys ever, and there are dozens of girls whose panties get wet whenever they think about him."
Carol blushed at what was obviously a VERY bizarre exaggeration, but Julia carried on before I could disagree with her, "He's got the two of us, and doesn't need any more for now. And anyway, none of the others are good enough for him.
-- "I want us to get in the habit of sitting and standing on either side of him. He's the most important and most wonderful of the three of us, so he should be the center of our attention. Do you agree with me so far, sister?"
"Yes."
"Good. And the third reason is so we can talk back and forth across him, and have a lot of fun teasing him. Haha."
Carol laughed at that too, until Julia continued, "I think it's only fair. I let him do absolutely anything and everything he wants to my body, so it's only fair I get to tease him sometimes."
Mom wanted Julia's and my being lovers kept low key in front of my sisters, so this was certainly not the time or place for such a discussion.
I tried to, "Shush Julia."
Carol just tremulously asked, "Anything?"
"Shusshh!"
"Yes, and he does it exquisitely. He's a superb lover."
"Julia! Shush. You can't talk like this at school. Please stop."
Fortunately, Julia responded, "Yes Mark, I'll stop." Then Julia looked at Carol again, and said, "You see how much fun he is to tease? Haha."
Carol, seeing my discomfort, laughed back.
Then Julia added, "The best part is that every word I said is true. Anyway, my beautiful sister, did you come here to talk with us about something?"
Carol had come mainly to thank Julia for her friendship and kindness. The two girls - one of them in danger of being demoted to my second favorite after the embarrassment she'd caused me - gushed at each other while eating their lunches, leaning across me to talk with each other. It was quite distracting for me, and it takes a lot to distract me from lunch because I'm usually very hungry by then.
Carol said, "I'm SO looking forward to my sleepover with you!"
Julia had a higher priority, "I'm even more looking forward to the Saturday after that. That's when we'll go shopping for you. We're going to buy you so many beautiful clothes, new swimsuits, nightwear, clothes to wear to school, and heaps more. I need to start making a list because there's so much to get."
Poor Carol (literally "poor") still couldn't believe her good fortune, "Are you sure? It sounds VERY expensive."
"I am absolutely positive. I've already talked to Daddy about this and the money is all taken care of. We've got lots of lovely things to buy for you, but I'll tell you the single most important purchase we are definitely making. Do you remember the dress I wore on my first date with Mark?"
"Do I ever! It was gorgeous!"
"On the Saturday after next, you and I are going back to that boutique and we're getting one at least as good for you."
Carol had to catch her breath before she could respond. She gasped, "I've never, EVER had anything like that before."
"And that's not all."
Carol was almost too afraid to ask, "It's not?"
"No. We're going to save those dresses until Mark gets his cast taken off. Then we're dressing in them and are taking him out to celebrate. He'll have two arms then, and I want them around each of us all night. We can take turns feeding him. We are going to show him how much we love him."
"Oh my," said Carol weakly, as she leaned against me for support.

Julia continued, "I wish we could walk through school dressed like that, with Mark's arms around us both. That'd teach the hundreds of other girls who want him, that he's OURS."
#4:
"There's still more, my beautiful sister."
"There is?"
"After we come back from dinner, we're going to the hot tub. I'm going to put on some soft music, light candles around the tub, turn the lights off, then we are going to sit on either side of Mark, so he can put his arms around us, and we are going to take turns feeding him grapes. How does that sound?"
"Dreamy."
"Yes, exactly right. 'Dreamy' is the perfect word. But I do have one question I haven't decided yet. I haven't decided whether we should wear swimsuits or be naked."
"{Gasp}. Naked? With Mark?"
"Yes. I'm still thinking about that. I'll let you know what I decide."
"Oh," Carol blushed while thinking about it, then she added, "Umm. Do you mean Mark would be naked too?"
"Especially Mark. He looks very good naked because he's got a great body."
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak Julia squeezed my arm hard. Clearly a message for me not to say what she knew I was about to say. I closed my mouth. Julia must know what she was doing, but damned if I did. It must be something to do with the boy that'd turned Carol down, but I couldn't see how teasing Carol about being naked helped with that. I can't understand one girl, so I had no chance of deciphering what one girl was doing for another. I did what I do best, sat quietly and observed.
Carol tentatively suggested, "I don't think Mom would approve of us being naked like that."
Julia answered, "We do things differently in my house. If we have our meals at different times than your family, you wouldn't insist on our changing to your usual time whenever you're at our place. Mark and you will adjust to my family's behaviors, one of which is being treated as more adult than you're used to. Being comfortable with each other's bodies is part of being trustworthy and mature. Andrew came into my bedroom when Mark and I were making love a few days ago..."

Monday, May 2, 2005 (Continued) Describing poor Donna's lesson caused me to skip over Aikido, so I'll go back and fill in that gap now. There were only a few noteworthy points. The first was my raising the Eaton Incident with Sensei, which I did almost immediately. Sensei had seen the article in the paper, and had intended to raise it himself. I briefly described the incident, especially each of the fight scenarios, and asked him what a good aikidoka would have done. [I should explain...
Monday, May 16, 2005 (Continued) Aikido was great, as usual. Every week I learn more techniques, which is great in itself, but its best consequence is not that I know more techniques, but that it's giving me a slowly increasing understanding of Aikido as a whole. Like someone giving me more and more pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, I'm starting to see more of the whole picture. I don't mean to imply that there's a hidden secret that was slowly becoming clear to me, or a final revelation that...
Thursday, April 7, 2005 (Continued) I had to wait for Mom and Donna to come get me, so I walked back to my seat with the books. As I was sitting down I remembered to think about whether I was centered: nope, I wasn't. So I centered myself again, shaking my head to myself over how slippery keeping center is. #1: #2:
Sunday, June 10, 2007 (Continued) It'd be impolite for us to walk into our staff's home uninvited, so I knocked on the door and we waited. When one of the off-duty guards answered it, I explained, "I used to do a martial art called Aikido before I was killed and I spent a while last night trying to get Ron's body to move as well as I used to, but it's difficult without partners. I was hoping I could do some training in your dojo with whoever's around? The girls just want to...
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 (Continued) Leaving school was almost a feeling of déjà vu, as there was a crowd waiting for me in the parking lot, mostly of middle-school girls. We were spotted and mobbed by the hordette, asking, "Is it true?", "Are you really rich?", "Are you really a millionaire?" Etc. They let Julia and me through to the car and my sisters. Thank goodness my mobs have all been made of people smaller than me; hordes would be terrifying if I was Julia's size compared to...
Sunday, June 10, 2007 (Continued) Paul asked Dad, "Steven, do you want Mark to have authority over Security because he's a good fighter?" Prof answered, "I thought of a better way of phrasing it, Paul. As far as I know, no human being has ever had a Guardian Angel before. Not even Jesus Christ, judging by what happened to him. So God thinks Mark is more worthy of protection than any other human being has ever been. The Andersons and Williams agree with God. Mark understands his...
March 15, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “How was your first week?” I asked. “Very interesting,” Stephanie answered. “Obviously, it’s very different from what I was doing at Arthur Andersen, though they offered me a manager’s position on the Enron account if I would stay. But I think this is better for me in the long run. It’s not the same business, obviously, but Samantha is mostly going to let me run things day to day, with her input and control, of course. Thanks for working this out with...
Monday, May 2, 2005 (Continued) At home, Carol pulled Ava's vibrator out of her bag to show me. Carol plugged it in and turned it on. It was an impressive machine, with a little 'thumb' that stuck out and ... Well, if you're a female you know what it did (besides boggle my mind). If you're a male you've got no need to know, and it's kind of disquieting to see, so I'll not describe it. I was tempted to ask for a real demonstration, in our bedroom rather than the kitchen, but Carol...
Saturday, April 2, 2005 The sound of a door slamming and feet running along the hallway outside my bedroom door woke me far too early on Saturday morning. A few seconds later, the running feet returned, and the same door was opened and then slammed again. It was my sisters' bedroom door. A radio came on and was turned up very loudly, and I got the message that it was time for me to get up and be debriefed. God knows how I would describe my date to Carol. I got dressed, then still sleepily...
Saturday, May 7, 2005 (Continued) Once I was sitting at my desk again, with my schoolwork open around me, I couldn't help noticing that this wasn't a particularly thrilling way to spend my first morning as a multi-millionaire, but I couldn't think of what else to do (not strictly true, as Carol was sitting a few feet away and I had no trouble thinking of what I'd like to do with her). To distract myself, I decided to spoil myself by writing the sexy spreadsheet that I'd thought of...
Saturday, June 18, 2005 Two and a half hours of sleep is a ridiculously short period. If I go to bed at 10pm, then it's only half past midnight when I wake up. The night's barely started and I've already finished all my sleeping. I decided to go for a run. Ever since my last merge my body had felt more energized. Not dramatically so, but it was noticeable and I was very curious about it. Now that my casts were off, and my leg seemed unlikely to break in half again (I'd take my cellphone...
Monday, April 25, 2005 I woke after the usual four and a bit hours. I didn't have to turn on any of the room lights to get out of bed, as a dim yellow blob did the job perfectly. I climbed over Carol and went to do some studying via the kitchen. The hallway's main lights were off now. Instead there were those small lights that plug into an outlet to provide a little illumination at floor level. That was useful, as I didn't want to use light blobs walking around the house. The risk...
Saturday, June 2, 2007 (Continued) Saturday afternoon was saner for us, but not for some other people. TV showed us scenes at the main access routes into Corvallis, especially the highway bridges over the river. There were many hundreds of cars parked down the Corvallis-Lebanon Highway (the main road into Corvallis, to the east of the river) that had been prevented from getting any closer by the roadblocks. Consequently there were thousands of people yelling at the soldiers to demand that...
Tuesday, March 22 to Monday, March 28, 2005 My first ever date with a girl - an event of such importance that how this very unlikely event came about deserves its own chapter. I was at my locker after the first class on Tuesday morning when I noticed one of the Queen Bitches - Annette Neumeyer - and her coterie sashaying down the corridor; senior beauty queens all, fully and overly aware of their status at the very pinnacle of school society. They were gorgeous, ruled the school, and...
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 (Continued) Julia and I headed back toward the girls who were waiting for the honor of having lunch with me. They'd sat in the same classrooms with me almost an entire school year and I'd not noticed any of them feeling particularly honored. I should have made myself honorable by making girls cry years ago. Julia had already told me who she'd gracefully permitted to have lunch in my august presence, and I'd seen most of them during the morning. Seeing them all...
Saturday, November 29, 2003 to Saturday, January 31, 2004 I had planned otherwise, but I started showing my apparently increased intelligence at school much more than I'd intended. It started with the teachers seeing that I was bored. They assumed my not paying attention was because I was misbehaving and they used the time-honored tactic of challenging me to answer a question about whatever they were currently talking about. I didn't have any reason to give deliberately incorrect answers,...
Thursday, March 31, 2005 (Continued) Dinner and the dishes were finished later than normal, and I was about to talk with Dad about the problems caused by predatory girls, when I was buttonholed by all the females to talk about my date tomorrow. #3: If I wrote that, "I was looking forward to it", that'd be the same as saying, "the Pacific Ocean is damp." I had spent years desperately longing for tomorrow night. I would've been wildly...
Friday, April 1, 2005 The next thing I knew, I was waking up at my usual time the next morning. #1: I can't tell you much about what I did at school on Friday, as I wasn't able to pay attention most of the time. I know the school's car came to get us at the agreed upon time, and delivered us there. I did meet Julia before first class and apologized for not calling her to say "goodnight." I'd always thought people seemed weak doing...
Friday, April 1, 2005 (Continued) For most of the short journey, Carol sat turned around in her seat looking back at us. She kept an almost nonstop gush going: "Julia looks so beautiful", "Your dress is wonderful, Julia", "Mark is so lucky", "Julia is so lucky", "You two look so good together", "I wish I was older", "I'm going to wait up until you get home, to hear how it went." Mom quickly responded to that one, "No you won't, Carol. Mark won't be home till well after...
Friday, May 13, 2005 (Continued) The arrangement for the pipeline date was that I was going to be picked up from home at 6pm, and I was warned not to eat anything in advance because there was going to be an excessive amount of food. They refused to divulge any other information, but already I liked the sound of this date. Julia reminded me of the colored cards. I didn't really need the reminder, but she was mostly making sure of my resolve: Red: if I never wanted to date the girl ever...
Saturday, April 30, 2005 (Continued) Mom was preparing dinner in the kitchen. "Hi Mom. Do you know that Carol and I are going out tonight, with Julia and Ava? I think we are anyway; I need to check." "Yes, I've heard. This is just for the three of us." I started eating pieces of the ingredients. Mom didn't object, as she always cooks 'too much' (silly concept), as leftovers disappear from our fridge amazingly quickly. Mom asked, "Did you win?" "Yes. Much the same result as the...
Friday, June 1, 2007 (Continued) Before the press conference was due to start, we decided to have it outside the front of the Adults' House. The light rain that'd been going for a while had stopped during the wait, we preferred not to have reporters invade our home (reporters hot on a story aren't the sort of people you want in your home), and having the conference outside meant there was less chance of one of my distinctively Negroid loose hairs being found by a nosey reporter looking...
Thursday, April 21, 2005 (Continued) Lily drove up exactly on time. I met her at the front door, and commented on her punctuality. Lily said, "Julia say very important." "I thought you'd be on time. Julia and I are both impressed by your attitude to what we're doing." "I know you special man." #2:
Thursday, April 21, 2005 (Continued) As promised, I turned my attention to Lily. "Thanks for waiting, Lily. I think we've safely got half an hour of uninterrupted time, so I'll be able to do a good job of going down on you." From Pat (it was nice to know she was still awake enough to participate verbally), "Not half an HOUR. Half a YEAR! {Groan}." Lily said, "I'm scared. You go too long." She did look scared, or at least concerned. "Lily, I stop the INSTANT any girl tells me to....
Sunday, April 10, 2005 (Continued) I got home just before dinnertime, that being an excellent habit to get into. I was impressed with Julia when I saw that Carol was doing some cooking in the kitchen with Mom. Mom was in Teaching Mode, telling Carol what needed to be done, why, in what order, and that sort of thing. Seeing me watching her, Carol proudly announced, "I've decided I want to be a much better cook. Mom's going to be giving me lots of lessons from now on." I would write "her...
Friday, November 21, 2003 Other than tending my wounds and dressing to ensure they wouldn't be exposed, it started just like any other school day. When I got to school, I took Mom's note to the office. They told me that I was required to study in the library during PE periods, which I thought was an excellent alternative. I'd never been beaten up in the library. I found Brent in the usual place with the usual crowd, and handed his class notes back to him. The guys asked me where I'd...
I have several Doms I see often and even now two Femdoms that I visit infrequently. But I like variety and my sexual appetite is almost insatiable so I need to see different people for different experiences. I am upfront with them and my Doms all know about the others. Everything in my life was fine until one of my Doms contracted COVID-19, so I had to quarantine for 10 days and get tested regularly;...
This is a work of science-fiction in a general sense, and is not possible at all. All characters are made up, and are not based on any real persons dead or alive. All characters are of appropriate age in the story context. If this time of story is offensive to you please do not read it. * John was a special child growing up. He had always felt that he may have had ESP or something close to it. He always had this sense that he had been to places that he never been to before, and meet people...
‘That’s what I saw on the TV news just now. So maybe you’d better . . .’ ‘It’s Christmas Eve, Stella,’ Nadine answered, the stubbornness in her voice almost palpable. ‘Those guys were really cute, and I’ve never skied Winter Park before. Gotta do something to get out of here.’ ‘Yeah, well, if the snow really hits up there at Berthoud Pass, there wouldn’t be any skiing, they wouldn’t find you ’til spring,’ Stella said. She was fiddling with the crooked plastic Christmas tree in the corner of...
It’s been said that, once you've left, you can never go home again. I found that to be false. Last week, I returned to my home town to visit my baby sister, Fran. Fran and I are close, and we visit one another a couple of times a year, catch up on old times, and stay connected. After college, it seems we both returned home, living with siblings and parents until we got to the point of financial independence, even though we did it ten years apart. We also never married. For my part, I’m...

It was almost thirty years since I'd visited an Arcade or Adult Book Store, but I was in another city that wasn't afraid the "Adults" might want to see adult things or see Adult movies. I almost felt "dirty" like I did when I first discovered such places. I passed the store ,as another man was coming out catching just a glimpse of a rack of the inside displays. It was early evening and the area seemed saturated with way more people I was used to, at home I would be intimidated of maybe...
I was laying on my bed in my room. My TV was on, but I wasn't really paying that much attention.Truthfully, I was browsing the magazine in my hands. Not the one I appeared to be leafing through... that would be a 'Popular Photography', which was visible, camouflaging the true subject of my attention. Inside the Pop Photo, was the most recent copy of 'Mayfair'.I suppose I didn't really need to hide it. I was eighteen, and legally able to buy the magazine, but I also didn't need to stir the pot...
D?j? vu for a DrowChapter 1So far everything had gone to plan for Liavondra. Despite being unwilling to leave her free and unplanned life, she had agreed to her friend Alcala’s request for help. As a Drow she was not trusted by many, as her kin were notorious for their treacherous, violent ways. Lia was different though, and had striven to be different from all other Drow for centuries. Thus, when an infiltrator was needed for the Drow, she was the first and only choice. The mission had been s...
Now for the normal disclaimers, no kids (under 18), animals, blood, scat, or other extreme things are in this story. If I haven’t scared you off yet, read on and vote. Chapter 1 Suzanne was finishing another day at school. She was a first-grade teacher, and it had been a very long day. Most days she loved teaching, but today was particularly difficult. For some reason today, her kids, who were normally...
Brittany Rogers peered through the store's broad front windows, carefully inspecting each inch of the nearly deserted parking lot. Satisfied, she unlocked the door, set the alarm and slipped outside in the required thirty seconds. She locked both top and bottom locks and scurried towards her car. As she went, she nervously scanned the area, her head swiveling. Twice she turned and walked backwards a few steps to check behind her. Why had she stayed so late, she berated herself silently....
"Oh grandmother, I still can't believe it!" The young blonde haired woman exclaimed as she gushed with excitement. "Two days from now I'm going to be in Europe." "Well it's nothing that you don't deserve." The older woman smiled back. "I'm very proud of you, and all that you've accomplished." "I don't think Mother would agree with you on that." Jenny D'Angelo replied. "She thinks the entire trip is a colossal waste of money." "Your mother thinks everything is a waste of...
PART 1 My company had just relocated to brand new offices downtown in that fancy mega-complex that took up four city blocks. I had just parked my car on level B5 and rode the elevator up to the mezzanine level. So here I was Monday morning, with a map of the complex in hand. A lot of companies' hours are 8 to 5, but I was fortunate to work for a company that worked 9 to 5 and included our lunch hour for "free." At close to 9, the mezzanine was relatively sparse with a few people shopping in...
Sunday when I was pulling into the driveway I had another vision. I saw a bunch of motorcycles in front of the house. I knew that was bad news for sometime in the future. I figured it would be a good time to start building my war chest. I got my cell phone out and dialed the number I had been given in D.C. it was answered with, "6619." I said, "This is the Griz." "Is there a problem?" "Not right now, I think there will be." I related my vision. "What do you want us to do about...
On our way out of Illinois we stopped for the day tour of New Salem. New Salem is where Abraham Lincoln ran a general store and got his first law book and started studying to be a lawyer. It has been restored and is a general tourist trap, to see what life was like 150 years ago. You see Ox drawn carts and wagons. 'New Salem' makes you realize that you do not want to live life back then. We made a leisurely trip to Mt Rushmore. Mt. Rushmore is a very impressive scene. From the welcome...
As Tom and Betty got off the plane in Havana, the Minister of Communication met them. Senor and Senora Wilcox, "It is my pleasure to welcome you to Cuba. Your bags have been taken to the Hotel Tropicana. I am sure you will be very happy there. I have your transportation waiting outside." Once they were in the limo, "Senor, Senora Wilcox, I have been asked to request that you have a private dinner with the President tonight. He will send a car for you." Tom replied, "We will be...
The trip was over and everyone was get back into the swing. Suzy was going to school. The drive to her school was shorter from the new house than from her folks place. Joanne started to sue to get the rights back for my programs. Elizabeth and I decided to open an office away from the house to work from, just so the house was a home and not a place we worked from. We opened an office in Winter Park, about 15 minutes from Suzy's school. If anything happened and Suzy needed something we...
I got an invitation for my High School Reunion in Deland. I asked everyone what I should do about it, go or not go? Jeri and Elizabeth, both wanted to go they loved to dance. Corey said she wanted to go, Joanne decided to stay and keep an eye on Suzy. The girls had fun shopping for dresses. We went to the football game. This was the first time in over 30 years I had been back to Deland for any thing other than stopping to get something to eat or shopping at Wall Mart. I was surprised that...
Elizabeth and I had a lot of work for on Monday. Jeri had joined us for lunch at the 'Big Bite'. Since we had to wait for the hardware to arrive, we decided to leave early. It seemed like a nice day to be lazy by the pool. As we were driving home we drove past the house. We saw several motorcycles in the driveway and a few biker-carrying guns. None of the family was in sight. Suzy truck was in the driveway. We drove about a half a mile past the driveway, Jeri and Elizabeth changed cars....
Tom and Betty came home for Christmas. Suzy spent the holidays moving back and forth. Jenny came back for Christmas and I flew her family in from California. Since we had the room, I got Bill to bring down the family and Dad on Christmas, they could not take off until after Christmas Eve. This is the first Family Reunion at Christmas our family had had for years. Rick told everyone that he was planning on going in the Army. He is supposed to leave in April for Basic Training. He was going...
I was hearing someone call me, "Mister, hey Mister are you alright? You just lay right there. The ambulance will be here in a few minutes. You had me scared." Setting up, I find that I am at the 7-11 where I bought my winning Lottery ticket. I asked, "What is going on?" The store clerk responded with a worried look, "Mister you were standing in front of the door, and some kid came running in and knocked you down, you passed out. That dumb kid took off. I called 911, they said that when...
Monday, April 18, 2005 (Continued) Dinner was very welcome as I had forgotten to have my usual post-school snack. I had just established a good rhythm when Carol told Mom and Dad, "Oh, by the way, tomorrow at school I'm going start telling people that I'm a lesbian and Julia is my bi lover. We'll start holding hands and kissing in public." #1: #4:
Monday, June 20, 2005 (Continued) The last few chapters have featured Savannah more than she deserved. Despite all the words I've written about her, I really only spent a few minutes talking to her. I spent longer talking to some of the other individual girls, but they were generally straightforward and honest, so needed little comment here. They'd come here to meet me, were happy to be in my company, and were perfectly happy to make no pretense about it. The sight of my body in its...
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 I woke at my usual time and noticed that Donna appeared to be still sleeping. I got up and stood by her bed. My proximity sense confirmed it, but as it nearly get-up time I bent down and kissed her cheek until she woke. A good start to the day for her, I thought. It only took half a dozen kisses before her eyes were fully open, and she said, "Good morning, darl... , Mark." "Good morning, darl, Donna." "{Giggle}." I offered, "I had a good night's sleep....
Monday, June 20, 2005 (Continued) I've written many words to describe events at the swimming pools, but nothing about what some people would consider the raison d'être of the Aquatic Center: swimming. My visit was much more about bikinis, but I did do some swimming, so I'll mention that briefly now. Even before we'd arrived at the Center, it'd occurred to me that there might be pretty girls wearing bikinis here, and therefore I should try to impress the bikini bottoms off them. I had...
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (Continued) I loaded my bag with what schoolwork I wanted to do tonight, then headed to the DMV. Corvallis being a small place, it didn't take long for me to jog there. It didn't seem to take any energy either, even with a backpack on. As a little experiment, I tried running at my optimal rate, and the extra weight did cause fatigue to build up, forcing me to reduce my pace significantly. Apparently there are some rational aspects to how I break the laws of physics...
Monday, June 20, 2005 (Continued) Not long before we left, one of the girls asked, "When can we do this again, Mark?" Obviously she wasn't one of my regulars, or she would've asked Julia. I threw caution to the wind by taking a shot at answering it myself, "I'm busy tomorrow, because that's when I'm hoping to buy my new car." Actually it was Julia who was doing the hoping. I was too conflicted to "hope" to buy a new car. I liked the cars we'd been testing, but I didn't like the...
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (Continued) Dinner was a great success. How could it not be? Carol was beaming with pride at having cooked it so successfully, and I lavished her with praise when my mouth wasn't full. Either situation made her happy, and me too. Carol said, "I think I can cook this by myself now, especially if I get Julia or Donna to help me." I wasn't going to criticize that comment at all. Carol's chicken cooking ability put her above petty concerns such as logic. I regaled...
Monday, June 20, 2005 (Continued) I'd called Mom before Aikido to tell her, "I'll be staying the night at the Williams' as I want to show Julia something first thing in the morning." I headed to Julia's after Aikido. As I walked toward the front door, I was amused to see a multitude of female heads through the kitchen window. Julia met me at the door, laughingly telling me the explanation. Soon after I'd left for Aikido, Vanessa had called my mom to say they had too much food, and...
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (Continued) Robert, Julia, Carol and I were going bowling, but not before Prof had a few words, "Have you driven at night before, Mark?" Not even in the dimension where #3 and #4 had got their license, as they hadn't had it long enough before merging away to be allowed to drive at night. "Not on roads, no. In a parking lot to show Dad I could drive, after dinner here a while ago. I don't expect any problems though." "Let's be safe anyway. Robert, you sit in...
Monday, June 20, 2005 (Continued) When Majella, Gina and Leanna were gone, Vanessa suggested, "Clean up, then coffees," so we all returned to the kitchen. Vanessa divided up what dishes were ready, leaving two pots cooking for longer, then we all started cleaning up. It didn't take us long, especially with my helping so eagerly, in a pathetic attempt to look good for Mom. Conversation was entirely food related, which I'd normally think was great, but just made waiting for the axe to...
Tuesday, June 21, 2005 I woke after the usual 2.5 hours, had a snack bar, shut my eyes again, created a sight blob, sent it through to the study, where seven of my minds created a fingertip each for the scrolling keyboard, and we started studying. Other than a couple of snack breaks, that's how we spent the morning. It was a very successful test, especially because we didn't hit a gap in our knowledge that we had to google, so we didn't need to do any extensive mouse work. One of my...
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (Continued) "Mark!" "Sorry Prof, what was that?" Prof asked, "We set your study up for you to study in it, so why would we get grumpy at your doing so?" "Huh? Oh, that's right. If I woke you up at 2:15 every morning to let me in. Wouldn't you lock your frontdoor before you went to sleep?" "Of course, but you don't need to wake us. We'll give you a key and you can come and go as you please. You might as well have a key now, so I'll give you our spare...
