Taken from (ramona4jake)

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I just met Mark Sheppard this past weekend and now I find myself just a bit smitten with him so I'm trying to watch all his vid's.
I just finished watching some of his BSG episodes (yes I freely admit to not having watched before) and love his character of Romo Lampkin. I've been searching on line for any and all fiction featuring his character (both slash and general) but have come up short. I'd love the pairing to be with Lee Adama/Apollo but will take whatever I can get.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Last Wednesday I made a veggie omlet with cheese and hot salsa (all low fat and/or fat free). Been on a diet and have lost over 43# so far (pats self on back).

Hi there!!!

So sorry I didn't wish you a happy birthday on your birthday. My area was hit by an ice storm and I've had no power (i.e. tv, internet, HEAT) for over a week. Still don't but one of our restaurants has WiFi.
Hope you had a great day and I wish a a wonderful year.
Judy

I can't believe it. The terrible news of today has left a hole in my heart.
I feel as though I lost a member of my family. I can only imagine what his family is feeling and my heart goes out to them. Especially little Matilda.
I have a BBM calender above my desk (still on Dec, 07) and when I came home from work I just sat there and stared at it and cried. It's a wonderful pic of Ennis sitting on a rock on the mountain, with the 2 dogs at his feet,
Heath, I'll miss you and think of you often. Bea at peace our friend.

Just a quick note to Maidenofthesea. I notice that you posted a new one shot in the NB universe. I've asked this time and time again but I'll ask again. Could you please friend me so I can keep up? You've been on my friend list for ever. I don't know what the issues are that keep you from doing this but if it's something I've done let me know and I'll try to fix it. If it's not then please stop punishing me for someone else.
Thanks,
Judy

I just wanted to wish everyone here in the U.S. a very happy Thanksgiving and to thank each and every one of you for all the wonderful stories that have filled many lonely hours. You guys are the greatest.
Judy

I hope I can do this and that I do it right. My cousin sent me this link and I had to share with everyone on my friends page.
When i seen it I almost burst into tears and immediatley thought of 2 wonderful stories in the BBM fandom. Roconner's Tour of Duty and Jen's Got Me Good.
I hope you like it as much as I.

I hope the link works. My just have to type it in manually.

This is for Maidenofthesea. I'm sorry that you felt you had to do this. I am still using my original name and I am confused as to what is going on lately with all these locked journals. All I want to do is read all these wonderful stories. I haven't been a member for long but I've enjoyed my time with everyone. I don't write (I'm worse than Jack with his harmonica) but I love to read all the stories. You are already on my friends list so could you please find it in your heart to friend me back. I'm right in the middle of your stories and I don't want to miss any chapters. Please.....

A while ago there was a story called 'All Time Love' by Brokeback Maniac. Does anyone know what has happened to the story/author? It just stopped at chapter 13 and it's been months and months since an update.
This was a great story and I hope Brokeback Maniac has plans to finish it.

Has anyone noticed the slow respose time on the LJ? I thought it might just be my computer but I don't have the same problem with any other site, just BBM LJ.
Sometimes it takes up to 25 seconds to get to a page or back and it seems to freeze up any other site I'm on at the same time.

This is a question/favor to all the QaFfans out there. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to send me copies of the UK QaF? I found 1 copy of the final show at our only local vid store and since I already was in love with the US series I bought it, loved it and want all of them. Unfortunatley, I can't find any more. The one source I found only has the DVD's that will not play in the U.S.
If someone can do this for me I will pay for the postage, & buy the blank DVD's/VHS's.

Hi everybody. I think after months of trying (I'm kinda slow at this, I admit it)I finally figured out how to post on more than my journal. I wanted to thank all the great writers who have filled many lonely hours with your wonderful stories. I read every one of them as long as they don't include dead Jack, they're just too painful.
I don't leave too many comments because I never know what to say, just know that I love & appreciate all of you.
I also have a problem/question that hope someone out there can help me with. I was off line for a while & just got back. When I went to check all my BBM sites I couldn't find or access 'Brokeback Got Us Good. I don't know if it's gone or if Yahoo is acting up again. Does anyone know?

This is my first posting to LJ so I hope I'm doing this right. I read a story about a year ago called 'Port in the Storm' and it's 2 sequels 'Devotion, Sweet Life' and 'Devotion, Aching Heart. Aching Heart was never finished and I was wondering if anyone knows about it's author 'Sparkofire' and if she ever posted any more to the story & I just missed it.
And on a side note. Thank you to all the wonderful writers and their awsome stories. You have filled many lonely hours for me (that I should have spent doing more aggravating things such as housework, mowing, etc.LOL) All of the stories from the shortest drabble to the longest story have my deepest respect for your talent. I don't leave many comments because I never know what to say so this is for all of you that I missed.

Hi everyone. I just recently joined this community and am enjoying everyone's stories very much. I don't comment often because I'm terrible with words and just saying 'great story, can't wait for more' must get a little old fast. Just know that I love all of them, even the ones that make me cry.
This is my first post and I'm writing because I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.
I don't get a lot of time on-line because we only have one computer so I download the stories to my laptop (no internet there). To save space on the hard drive I usually edit them through my Front Page or Word. Today when I tried to do this the stories all came up with these little things and letters where all the punctuation is suppose to be and the headings on the top of the page (i.e. my LJ, Journal, Pictures, etc. are all open and I can't close them.
I don't know if it's my programs or a change to the LJ community. Can anyone out there help me?
