I'm reminded of an interview a writer named Terry McMillan gave. She was sued by an old boyfriend. He claimed she humiliated him in one of her books. It never went any further than a public accusation, I believe. No proof. The interviewer asked the writer if she did base her stories on real experiences. She just smirked and said, "What do you think?"
That made me laugh. I feel that if I made you believe the character, situation or attribute could be real, I've done my job. Whether I've pulled from something real or not should be my secret.

A German word, I can't seem to find a parallel English term for, used to describe the anxiety or fear that one’s life is passing them by and that their future opportunities are diminishing. It is also applicable to characterize the sense of urgency some people have in seeking a partner to settle down as they age.
literally: Panic as the door closes.
When I want to incite him (and it does have its advantages), a well emphasized "whatever" gets the job done.
Sorry love, both of you will need to move over there while I take this spot.
Mike, you did an excellent job with The Price of Admission and choosing Virgo to read was genius. It's flash at its finest. ?
The virginal me believed in love and then sex. But once I passed that first love hangover, I really felt that waiting for sex was overrated--beautiful, but overrated. I'll do sex before love with no guilt or intention of loving. There would have to be something I loved about you (an initial attraction), but I didn't have to be falling in love with you to fuck you. My guy and I started out with the definite clarification that this was a purely sex thing. It made me feel so mature. Did everything possible to keep it that way. LOL Well what can I say, marriage is great.
I think it's important to not get "just sex" and love confused.
I stay waxed and recommend it. It leaves the skin looking better, smoother and softer. I've been getting it done since I was 20. So, I'm what they call trained (no apparent follicles and regrowth is extremely fine). I can go longer periods between maintenance and I don't get that stubble feel. I've never had any type of reaction. I recommend that you go to reputable spots if you choose to have it done. To me, it's one of those you get what you pay for kind of things. I've had girlfriends switch to where I go and the experience has been better for them.
And, I'm already friends with this special lady. Hi Kiera. ?
), you were thinking more like Agostinho da Silva. He felt that nothing is completely new. He was not interested in what influenced his writing; he was interested in "being true" (writing the believable or the realistic).
I've found it plagiarized a couple of times in other places and I find that amusing. I didn't spend very much time on it at all. I can definitely see where I've grown a bit as a writer. Submitting it was scary. Remembering makes me laugh. Once again, you'll have to let me know what you think. I'm cringing already.
