Clia was almost ready to graduate. It was the day after her 18th birthday. The summer months were coming in the night. They were coming so fast she could almost hear them. Soon she would be able to pursue her horseback riding dreams at university; at the better one. Right now she had a few more weeks before she left and one more week before her classes here...
It had been weeks since I had my first experience and encounter with Ty. Amazingly, I was still on a high from it. I couldn't believe how much fun it was. Just imagine, here I was thinking I was home alone in that sexy new black dress only to be surprised by Ty the maintenance man. I went from scared, to be embarrassed, to turned on all in a short period of...
I woke up feeling accomplished. Yesterday, William had come by and I gave him the final program from the project. It was about 2 months late, but he had continually pushed the deadline further on... even though I had been finished for a couple of weeks. William had come by weekly to get an "update", sometimes two or three times a week. We talked about the...
I needed a little time for round two. So I suggested that we take a shower and then have a snack. Diana gave me a kiss on the lips and agreed. "You go first" I told her. There were only three towels in the apartment and I'd been using one already that week. I got up, opened the mirrored cabinet where all the clothes were stored, and pulled out a thick fluffy...
Hello Journal! I believe that sometimes we do not open ourselves up to opportunities and this can rob us of some of the best experiences. We develop a tunnel vision focusing on one or two things and miss all these things on the sides. Lucky for me I have usually been good at keeping my eyes open. There is a man in one of my classes that is nothing special w...
One Saturday it rained around sundown. Karyn and Joe sat in the garage, a fire in the driveway, and watched the lightning off in the distance. As they sat enjoying the darkening skies, Sheila popped over from across the street. "Hi guys!" "Hi Sheila, how are you guys doing?" Karyn asked. "Great! Thanks to you guys." Sheila responded as she sat in a chai...
"Construction sucks," Kurt said out loud. Taking a deep breath after the call with the building department, he pulled into a fast food place's parking lot and called the customer from his truck. He had to tell them the inspection of their deck footings was rescheduled, and that the project was stalled until the city got out to the site. The lady of the hou...
Having studiously avoided reunions in the past, I think a lot of people were shocked to see me walk in the door 27 years after graduating. Why the change of heart? I had made friends with a lot of my old acquaintances from school. Some were friends; some were close friends, some I did not know at all. But thanks to Facebook our lives intertwined again and ha...
I was lost in finding the best way to express a coding problem when I heard Julia behind me. "The cab's here" she said softly. "We're off now." I spun around in my chair and hugged her to me. "I don't know how I'll get through the next six weeks without you." "You'll manage," she said. "You always do." "But six weeks is longer than you've ever been aw...
All I wanted was to go to university. As you can imagine, in high school I was a simple guy, a bit different from the rest of the people where I grew up. I had always got along with every one in my class but I had a grand plan I wanted to go to uni & study business. Perhaps become an accountant or financial planner while my mates were interested in going to...
