(watch that queer as folk video on youtube if youve never seen it!)<br /><br />and it's hard to believe you're really 18 because you are sensitive and articulate, and you can spell :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604283118620259209.post-49743568729987623862009-09-06T14:37:37.133-04:002009-09-06T14:37:37.133-04:00God, I hope he doesn't stumble across it! I ha...God, I hope he doesn't stumble across it! I have a second blog that he knows about, which only gets the general posts or the posts about him. I don't think he has any reason to know about this blog. There are problems, mostly related to his issues about my age.Ciaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034110860496139365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604283118620259209.post-64844460681198132922009-09-06T13:50:35.506-04:002009-09-06T13:50:35.506-04:00i don't know you, so i'm not really sure y...i don't know you, so i'm not really sure you exist...this is almost too good not to be itself a work of fiction. but even if if it is, i don't care. can a young man really feel this way about an older one? if the one i love had a blog like this, i'd sure love to stumble across it. and if it's real, wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604283118620259209.post-68780386173486493572009-09-06T03:46:22.496-04:002009-09-06T03:46:22.496-04:00Nice to see you are making connections.
