Rest in peace, sweet little pup
Ben | Rocket Dog Rescue
http://www.rocketdogrescue.org
The image beside is not the sweet little pup in question. I don’t believe I actually have any pictures of him. This image is Ben, possibly a distant cousin, who bears a strong enough resemblance to be a stand-in.
The sweet little thing was not my own dog, but rather my neighbour’s. He died last night. Mostly of neglect, but specifically of some unknown illness.
He was a darling, sweet, bright, affectionate, playful little thing always. No mat...

Now & Forever ABCs (Marcus)
5 February 1996
Discordian (Lapsed)
Marcus is a very flamboyant, and effervescent young man. He loves life, he loves to joke, and he loves confusing people.
He will happily inform anyone who cares to ask, and many who don’t, that yes — in fact — he is just as gay or more so than he acts, especially if the person is an attractive male. He, needless to say, has quite a sense of humour where his sexuality is concerned.
When he isn’t acting like the poster child for why and how Drug...

Now & Forever ABCs (Lisa)
21 April 1996
Roman Catholic
Lisa is one of Lauren’s best friends, the two having become inseparable since they met on their first day of kindergarten.
Lisa is one of seven children in a very devout family. Lisa herself, while not as scholarly about it as Lauren, is just as religious and holds her own in the AP Relgious studies classes — even if they are grade appropriate.
Lisa is not the world’s most complex person. She is an avid reader, a huge Wesley Snipes fan (even before sh...

Lucas is an N.D. and certified for surgery. He was educated at the University of Washington and at theNational College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland. He co-owns and operates a naturopathic, homeopathic, and acupunture clinic in downtown Seattle with Yvette.
He tends to look the part of the the hippie doctor with his long hair pulled into a ponytail, and his tendency to dress for comfort rather than professionalism. His office is even...
Now & Forever ABCs (Lauren)
9 January 1996
Lutheran (ELCA)
Lauren is a perfectionist. She is always striving for excellence in anything she puts her hand to, be it her dancing, her studies, or setting the table. Often this leaves her with an remarkable lack of confidence — she’s always worried she’ll mess up or fail.
She fell in love with dance at an early age. By three she had shown such intense desire to dance that her parents had signed her up for lessons, because her wish to learn exceeded her fam...

Kaede is Maureen’s boyfriend, a fellow student at Harvard, and her own student in an English tutoring program.
Kaede is studying to become a paediatric surgeon with a general specialisation in newborns — though his exact speciality he has not yet decided. His dream is to be one of those saving the lives of newborns whose hearts are malformed, or not working properly — or lungs, livers, etc.
He and Maureen met when she was working to tutor him in English, a...

Everyone should go there and check out the site for all theother people they’ve interviewed. A lot of talent and amazing people out there who’ve elected to eschew the traditional publishing model and this is another avenue for finding...
