Has a Fic -now be surprised l3- Love Is a Many Blundered Thing Contestshippy-PG- Chapter 6 up Here (Very sorry for the delay). Please R&R! ^^
And here we have my little review to your lubbly fic ^^ There's lots to like here and I don't believe you when you say you're not that good at english and stuff...cos this is good!
Chapter 1 + 2
Pushed her off a cliff? LOL!Her parents had tried everything to get her over this hate and fear, even quasi-accidentally pushing her off a cliff and having a Gyarados save her (which was, May found, the stupidest idea ever because it made everything worse).
oooo that would be embarrasing to be present at!"We are going to take a look at this little ice cream shop, which seems to have a lot of customers. Oh, there is a line Lets interview some customers while we wait for our turn! She tapped the man in front of her on his shoulder. Excuse me, sir, what do you think of this little booth?
Great little lineUnbelievable! Drew jeered. Your weirdness has no limits!
I can feel the hottness vibes from here...That feeling changed drastically as soon as the last participant was announced: Drew. Mays smile faded when he came up the stage, grinning more self-confident than ever. The audience (mainly the girls) screamed and squealed when he flicked his green hair. Masquerain, go!
Chapter 3
Love the little Mary thing running thoughIf you say so, Mary.
Chapter 4
yep, true to Ash statement...Ash gazed at her. Is that really possible? he asked.
Chapter 5
Sexy...Bill, in bright orange pyjamas
AWWWWW that's so sweet!! And I seem to be the fourth person to quote that...interesting as only 3 other people have reviewed at this point!She was silenced by a dark-green coat that landed over her head and shoulders.
I love this fic and can't wait for the next chapter
Could you add me to the PM list please?
Thank you and happy writing!
Please read and review to my fics. [All Finished!]

Yes, it has been a while, but I'm back! For now anyway. I'm very sorry it has taken me so long to typ something I've had written out since the last chapter, but I can hardly read, write or do anything at all due a very bad headache - it gets worse especially behind the pc, so typing was a bit of a problem (or reading and reviewing other people's fics, for that matter. I am reading them though, don't worry ^_^; ).
ANYWAY. I didn't re-read this chapter after I finished typing, because 1) I was already glad I finally finished it and 2) I've got a feeling it won't do me much good. Personally, I'm not a 100 satisfied (I know I never am, yes) because there are things which I feel would have been better written diferently or just left out, but I needed them as a buil-up for the next chapter; In the hope it will come out before we're all dead.
I still hope you'll enjoy reading, and thank you all very much for your patience ^_^;
Chapter 6
The further the sun disappeared behind the high buildings of the city, the more crowded the streets seemed to become. More and more trainers left their rooms and hotels, dressed up in festive clothes. The many coloured lights at the carnival illuminated the busy streets and the long lines in front of booths and attractions. That a lot of them had suffered some serious fire damage earlier was almost unnoticeable, even to those who knew.
Even though she was only looking at it through the window, May felt excited at the sight of it all. She couldnt wait to go but first things first, and she still had to get ready. It had taken her over twenty minutes to pick the right clothes she hadnt brought too many, not counting on a party like this and finally decided on a rather simple, yet cute short yellow dress. The top was tight and low-cut, and the skirt was pleated. It was definitely not Mays favourite dress, but it was good enough for tonight.
She got up and walked into the bathroom, grabbing a brush and running it through her hair. Then she grabbed small, yellow elastic and put her hair up in a ponytail, with the exception of a few strands of hair. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. Perfect!
When she left the bathroom, she heard Max pounding at the door. If youre not done within ten seconds, Im leaving without you! he yelled.
Wait! May yelled back. She quickly stepped into her shoes and ran to the door. All done, she said with a broad grin as she opened it.
Max sighed. Great, he said. Ash and the others are waiting for us at the Pokémon Centre. Now hurry up! He turned and walked down the hallway, off the stairs and disappeared out of sight.
May closed the door and locked up. Then she hurried after Max and caught up with him downstairs. Keys, she said, throwing them into the air. I dont have any pockets, so you keep them.
Max caught them and put them away. Im not planning on staying late. The second rounds are at the stadium tomorrow and Id rather be awake by then, he informed her.
Even when you go to bed at two and wake up at six, youre still chipper, May said, but Max didnt hear her.
There they are, he said, pointing at the end of the road. Come on! He dashed through the street and May followed, though in a slower pace.
Misty stepped forward. Hey! she greeted. May, you look great!
Thank you! May said cheerfully. You look wonderful, too.
Misty beamed. Thanks. She wore a short, blue-glittering top and three-quarter length jeans. Her orange hair hung loosely over her shoulders. May glanced at Brock and Ash, but like Max, neither had bothered to change clothes.
Shall we go? Brock proposed and the others nodded.
Are we going to eat something first? Ash asked. I saved some place at dinner just for that!
I could eat, May said, licking her lips, and Max gave a small nod in agreement.
To the food stands it is, then, Brock decided. He looked around as they entered the carnival site. Which one?
May sniffed, putting her nose up in the air. Waffles! She turned around on one leg, her arm stretched and pointing into the direction of a small booth with a few people lining up.
They smell good, Misty agreed.
And Ill bet you they taste even better! May grinned. Cmon! She rushed over and closed up the line. The others followed her, in different paces.
This smell makes me so hungry! Ash said in a tone that implied both pain and delight.
Misty rolled her eyes and looked away from him, but May could swear she saw her smile for a second.
When it was their turn, Brock stepped forward and paid the waffles for them. Hey, I can miss those few bucks, he said when they offered to pay him back. Consider it a reward for getting so far and, uh, hanging on, he added with a small wink at May.
All beamed and ate their waffles in silence.
Whats next? Ash asked after a short while, cramming nearly half his waffle into his mouth.
Max eyes glistered behind his glasses. The haunted house, he said in a death whisper as he wiped his mouth clean with a napkin.
May emitted a strange squeal and nearly choked in a small bite. Th-he haunt-ed h-house? she asked coughing and Misty worriedly patted her on the back. Unlike Max, the haunted house was her least favourite attraction of all. She hated being scared, and hated admitting it even more. Unfortunately, she haunted house always scared the hell out of her.
Oh, dont be such a baby, Max grunted, again.
May pouted, Im not!
Then dont act like one, Max said wisely.
There, there, Brock came between both in a tone that resembled a mother trying to calm a group of toddlers. Lets not fight now, shall we?
May and Max grumbled a last few unintelligible words, but then nodded.
Brock smiled satisfied. Now, who wants to go into the haunted house?
Me! Max and Ash yelled in unison.
Well, I dont mind, Misty said, slowly, her eyes moving unsurely between May and Ash.
Then well go into the haunted house, Brock decided. May, if you really dont want to come, you can just stay outside and wait for us. Okay?
Fine, fine, May sighed. You just go, and Ill wait till you come out again. Thats fine. She followed them to the big, scary-looking attraction and sat down on a small bench in front of it while the others entered. Bored, she twirled her hair around her fingers. Now that she thought about it, what exactly was the difference between now and the normal carnival? She glanced around. The normal carnival wasnt this decorated and closed during night time, but those were the only differences she could spot. She shrugged and rested her chin in her hands. Funny.
I see you are having a good time.
May shrieked and jumped up. Angrily, she turned around to find Drew grinning at her. Up until now, I was, thank you very much, she snapped at him, and dont sneak up behind me like that!
Youre too easy to scare, Mary, Drew grinned.
What about it? May snorted. By the way, I thought we were beyond the Mary-nonsense.
Drew shrugged. Must admit its getting less amusing.
May sent a glower his way. It was never amusing to begin with.
But Drew didnt follow it up. Where are your friends? he asked. You didnt come alone, did you?
May shook her head. Theyre in the haunted house, she replied. I dont really like that place, so Im waiting for them to come out again.
Why doesnt that surprise me? Drew wondered sarcastically and May scowled.
Anyway, she continued, breathing rather heavily, What are you doing? Did you come alone?
As a matter of fact, I did, Drew replied carelessly. Ive found that going to people events alone is a lot less obliging and certainly less tedious, he added.
So you come alone because you find other people tedious? May gaped at him.
Certain people, indeed.
May took that as a personal offence, shot him a death glare and then faced the other way. You could as well have stayed in your room, then, she grouched. I dont believe this is any different than the carnival at any other time.
Drew cocked an eyebrow. Oh, but it is, he said, though May heard a very cynical undertone in his voice. Didnt you know? There are he considered for a while, some tables with cheap candy and punch at the square and I believe theres some kind of karaoke going on, but I have no idea where. Thank God for that. He rolled his eyes. Really, the whole reason theyre doing this is because theyre afraid it wont be festive enough for a festival.
Ah. May nodded slowly. So thats it.
Drew nodded. Well, I dont really have time to chat anymore, so Ill see you around. And he disappeared as quickly as he showed up.
May blinked and looked around to see if there were any fans stalking him again, but nobody seemed interested in following him at all.
Were back!
May shrieked again and leaped in the air. Max came running up behind her.
Oh, hey guys, May said weakly. Had fun?
Loads! Max exclaimed. You really missed something there!
May managed a stiff smile. Perhaps, she said. Her eyes trailed off to Misty, who looked pale and shaky, Ash, who was trying to keep a straight face but failed blatantly and Brock, who tried his hardest to ignore them.
Misty, are you all right? May asked. You dont look very well.
Many bugs, Misty croaked. And spiders nd stuff Awful.
She doesnt really like bugs, Brock explained at the sight of Mays puzzled look.
Ash was still laughing. You looked so funny! he roared.
Misty glowered and hit him rather hard with her fist. Shut up.
Rubbing his head, Ash snorted one last time. Sorry.
May giggled. What next? she asked.
We figured wed let you decide, Max said. Since this was our choice.
Oooh! May beamed. Can we go on the Ferris wheel next?
Max couldnt restrain and groaned. Thats for little kids, he moaned.
If you put it that way, you should love it, May snapped at him. My pick, remember?
Thats what we all decided, Brock said warningly, as Max had opened his mouth in objection.
I really like the Ferris wheel, Misty said. Her cheeks were regaining some colour and she had stopped shaking. The view is always so wonderful. She bended over and picked up Pikachu.
Exactly! May squealed. Its great!
I still think its only for younger children, Max muttered as they walked, loud enough for May to hear it.
Then you think wrong, she said simply. But all the comments on her being childlike worried her unwillingly. Was her mother right, did she really act immature? Did all others think so, too? It would be nicer if they just told her
She swallowed and shook her head. Nonsense, may, she convinced herself. Youre fine the way you are, and you know it.
May, lets go together! Misty said cheerfully. Girls only?
Sure, May accepted happily. Id love to!
The street broadened into a small square. Long cords with coloured lights criss-crossed high over the wooden tables in the middle, filled with plates with weird-looking candy, bowls filled with a red liquid and small plastic cups.
May giggled. It was indeed nothing more than Drew said it was. She tore her look away from the tables and followed Misty to the Ferris wheel on the other side of the square. They closed the short line, followed by Ash, Max and Brock.
Hey, Misty could you give Pikachu back? Ash asked, tapping her on the shoulder.
If Pikachu wants to go back to you. Misty looked at Pikachu, patting it on the head.
Chaaaaa! Pikachu closed its eyes in delight.
Misty grinned. No, dont think he does, she said. She put down some money for a ticket and hopped aboard one of the Pokémon-shaped capsules. See you in a while!
Hey! Ash called after them, but Misty ignored him and looked the other way, s******ing.
Hes a pro at overreacting, she told May, shaking her head.
Well, you did take his Pikachu, May chuckled.
Misty shrugged. He knows Ill give it back soon enough, she said. Pikachu loves his trainer above all. Besides, Im a water Pokémon trainer. Water-type Pokémon and electric Pokémon dont get along too well. She put Pikachu on her shoulder so it could enjoy the scenery. I really love the view from here.
Me too! May stared out of the window. Doesnt the carnival look dreamy?
Sure does, Misty agreed. We did a pretty good job decorating, didnt we?
Yeah. May kept silent for a while to fully enjoy the scenery. Then she asked, Where are we going to next?
Well, Ash and Max were going on and on about something fast and spinning, Misty recalled. I think they had a name for it, but I kinda forgot.
May let out a deep groan. Those things make me so nauseous, she complained.
Im all right with them. Misty put her hands aside so Pikachu could jump on her lap. Either way, thats where well probably go next. Im sorry.
May sighed and shrugged. Its okay, she mumbled. Ill just wait outside again.
Afterwards, well do something you like again, okay?
Okay. May got up as the door opened and jumped on the ground, followed by Misty and Pikachu. They stood back a bit and waited for the guys to get out of the next capsule.
Max was the first of them to set foot on ground. Boring, he said, but the view was nice.
You can see the entire city from up there, Brock said. We really did do well on the decoration.
Pikachu! Ash called as he picked up his yellow friend. Happily, Pikachu hopped on his shoulder.
He wanted to go back to you anyway, Misty grinned.
Ash glared at her first, but then cheered up. Okay, now to the Octopus! he cheered.
Yeah! Max nodded enthusiastically. Thats the kind of attraction I like!
May folded her arms. Oh, please, she snickered, you always got sick in those things. It was quite a relief glances didnt kill.
Thats ages ago, Max told her angrily. His cheeks turned a faint shade of red.
Two years at most, May said sweetly. Im sure you remember. You threw up three times.
Max turned away. Shaddap, he mumbled. At least I got over it. You-
Cut it out, guys, Brock came between both as May was about to defend herself. This is your third fight today. Are you always like this?
May shrugged. Normally a little less fierce, she admitted.
Then please let this have been the last fight today, Brock sighed. Im sure everyone will enjoy this evening a lot more if we all just act friendly with each other. He reminded May so much of her dad she had to hold her laughter; neither Brock nor Norman could be very intimidating.
Judging by his expression, Max was thinking the same thing. Alright, he s******ed. Lets go. He and Ash left to their big, spinning attraction, soon followed by Brock and Misty.
May sauntered after them in a slow pace. She held still in front of a huge machine in the shape of an Octillery, only with many more arms and a cup at the end of each arm. The line was quite long and Max, Ash, Misty and Brock joined in.
May looked around for a bench to sit on, but the only one she saw stood rather far away and was already taken. She sighed and leaned her back against a lamppost. Not quite as comfy, but good enough. For the time shed had to wait, anyway
Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her shoulder. May let out a small screech and nearly tumbled over. She quickly turned around to yell at Drew, but he wasnt there. Three girls from around her age stood behind her instead. May blinked. Uhm, excuse me?
The middle girl stepped forward. She had very pale, blonde hair at shoulder length and ice-blue eyes. She wore a rather skimpy, frilly dress and sandals that might have belonged to the ancient Romans. Are you May Maple from the Petalburg gym? She didnt even bother to make it sound like a friendly question.
Well, yes, May stammered, why?
Were the Drew Fan club, the blonde girl said. Im Kaci, the president. She spoke in a strange accent, though May couldnt make out which one.
Drews fan club? May looked puzzled. I always thought Ayumi was the president.
Kaci pulled her hand through her hair. Not that pathetic club, she said.
Were the real fans, the girl with short, chocolate-brown hair and a short orange dress said.
The others are just drooling nuts, the girl with bright red, nearly pink hair in a short yellow top and skirt finished.
May looked at them with big eyes. Oh, she said. Okay then. She forced a smile on her face. Is there anything I can do for you?
Kaci looked back at her coldly. Dont play innocent, she said curtly and Mays smile faded. As of recent, we noticed your claws in our Drew. What exactly do you think youre doing?
Eh? Mays eyes widened. I beg your pardon?
Oh, please. Kaci swished her hair over her shoulder. Stop the innocent act already.
We know youve been getting awfully friendly with him lately, the pink-haired girl said.
May blinked and gaped at them in horror. Where did they get those ridiculous ideas? But somehow, she couldnt get a word over her lips.
He doesnt have any time for little girls like you, Kaci told her icily. He has his own business to worry about, and they dont include babysitting you.
Mays face, which had lost nearly all colour, now started to turn red. Just wait a second! she exclaimed. Ive never done any of those things! Ive never asked for any attention! Were not even friends I hardly even know him! Hes the one coming to me, not the other way around and dont talk to me like Im some sort of little kid!
Kaci folded her arms and swung her hair in her neck. Weve asked you to give the innocent act a rest already! she snarled and May felt a sudden urge to step back. Were letting you off with a warning this time, but if we ever notice you pull something on him again, well be back. She turned around and stalked off, followed by her two friends. What a waste of time, talking to such a girl, May heard one of them say as they disappeared between the other people.
She just stood there, motionless. She now recognised the girls; they had been with the fan group chasing her and Drew a few days ago. But she couldnt understand how they could think all that, even if they saw them together that day She also hung out a lot with Ash and Brock, but no one ever made a problem of that, even though they were much friendlier with each other. Much more than she and Drew, anyway. And what about Ayumi? She was always hanging around Drew and clinging on to him Did they harass her like this as well? But even if they did
How can they say such things? May whispered hoarsely. Her throat felt awfully dry. Maybe she just needed to drink something. But she didnt have any money on her Then she remembered the free punch back at the square. Punch might not be her favourite drink in life, but for the moment, it would do just fine.
She swallowed and made her way to the middle of the square. Not many people seemed to have touched the punch yet. Only one bowl was slightly emptied.
May grabbed a plastic cup, filled it with the red liquid from the closest bowl and bolted it down in one gulp. She gasped. Not bad at all. Why so many people seemed to have avoided it, she couldnt grasp. Sure, it tasted a little dry, but it was also very sweet. Only the smell May reckoned she recognised it, but couldnt recall wherefrom. She shrugged. It wasnt really important. This was great stuff. She even had the idea her thoughts and worries from earlier were fading away.
She filled her cup again, and again, and again. With every gulp, more worries seemed to fade away. And that wasnt all that changed. A warm, happy feeling spread slowly through her body, making her feel as if she could do anything. But her movements seemed to become less controllable than before and for some reason, the carnival seemed nearly twice as crowded. She shrugged it off. Such weird stuff She put her cup on the table and tried to take a step to the left, but tripped over her own feet and fell over. Luckily, someone caught her before she hit the lamppost and she just hung there, trying to understand what had just happened.
What exactly are you doing? May vaguely recognised Drews voice.
Hi there! she said, strangely slow.
Drew frowned and put her back on her feet. Whats wrong with you? he asked. Youre acting strange, even for you.
May started giggling and nearly fell over again, but managed to stay on her feet with help from the table. Im great! she said, slurring her words. In fact, I dont think Ive ever felt this good before!
Drew took a few steps back as she spoke. You smell an awful lot like alcohol, he stated.
Alcohol? May looked at him with big eyes. No way! She grabbed her cup from the table and wanted to take a refill, but Drew snatched it out of her hand.
Please say you havent been drinking the punch, he groaned.
May blinked. Its good stuff! she said in protest.
Drew sighed. Its pure junk, he said. More than the half of it consists of pure alcohol and sugar. The fact that everyone around is avoiding it like the plague shouldve tipped you off, but I guess even simple hints like that dont work for you.
Do they? May looked up at him, deep in thoughts. I dont remember.
Thats because youre stinking drunk. Drew put her cup back on the table. May tried to grab hold of it, but he stopped her again.
Hey, she said, thats mine!
Youre not drinking one more drop tonight, Drew told her strictly. Or youre gonna end up in the hospital due to alcoholic poisoning.
But Im thirsty! May reached for the stack of plastic cups but tumbled over again. Drew caught her and pushed her back up.
Then get yourself some water, he said. Alcohol doesnt help against thirst anyway. He glanced around. Where are your friends?
May shrugged. Dunno, she said. Around. Her eyes grew even bigger than usual and she backed off. But I cant be around you! she said fidgety. No, no!
Drew raised one eyebrow. What are you talking about?
You dont have time for little girls like me, May said earnestly. Youve got your own business to worry about, not including babysitting me. She giggled dumbly and stared around.
And who said that? Drew asked, frowning.
May tried to remember. A girl, she said slowly. With a really weird name. What was it again? Her head hurt as she attempted to recall the name. Something with Ka I think She suddenly felt very tired.
Drew let out a deep groan. Kaci? he asked and May nodded. That girl is as big an idiot as they come.
May still giggled softly. Oooooh. She yawned and blinked. Im sleepy.
Oy! Drew grabbed hold of her shoulders to keep her from pouring in at the spot. Stay vertical, he said, or things might get a bit nasty. Wheres your hotel?
Somewhere around, May spoke with a thick tongue. I thought.
There are more than ten hotels around here, Drew sighed. I guess you dont have any keys with you?
Max has the keys, May knew, but I dont know where he is. She drifted about on her legs.
I figured, Drew said. And youre sure you have no idea where your friends are?
May thought for a while. No, she then said. Im really tired She yawned and sunk through her knees.
Hey! May! HEY!
I hope you liked it Please let me know what you think!
Has a Fic -now be surprised l3- Love Is a Many Blundered Thing Contestshippy-PG- Chapter 6 up Here (Very sorry for the delay). Please R&R! ^^

and hurray for drew's random pop ups in the story! lol.

This wasn't May's night, was it? At least now she knows the faces of the girls who'll probably be sending her death threats for the rest of her life. Her getting drunk was so cute. Poor Drew's going to have to carry her. ...heh.
The title of this fic still rox my sox. XD
Wow, this really is a great fic!
I'm addicted!
Squee, May gets drunk!
Haha, this May reminds me a lot of myself, except for the fact that she doesn't like pokemon. >_>;
Anyway, I love the story.
Keep up the awesome work!
Wallace's un-official stalker >3
wow Juny I can't believe I haven't commented this yet. I remember before I got my CuteDrew667 account reading this and due to lack of account, i couldn't comment.
I loved that chapter the best! May getting drunk and what she said to drew was brilliant/ Boo! I was hoping Drew would take her back to his place. Could i be on the PM list please?
Can't wait for updates!
I've just read this and it's great! I love the discription and the fact that it IS pokemon but ISN'T the traveling is good. Very nice idea! Loved this last chappie. Here's me and all the other contestshippers hoping Drew will take her back to his room. *jumps around*
I really like this fic. It has tons of description. Yet it was wierd when May gets drunk.
Always and forever be a Pokemon fan no matter wht happens or how old I am.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm is there any point of being happy?
Which character are you test by Naruto - Kun.com
Awesomeness, you finally updated ^-^ Oh May's going to have one hell of a hang-over in the morning and god knows where she's going to wake up X3 You certainly have a way with words, I was hanging off each of them, or maybe I was overly eager since you hadn't updated in so long. Anyways great work and I look forward to further chappie
UH? spam?
First, indeed!But before she could make a proper decision, Drew had noticed her standing behind him and approached. May? He sounded surprised. What are you doing here?
Youre calling me May? May noticed she sounded at least as surprised as he did. Thats a first.
xDMay felt her face glow bright red and quickly turned away. I dont need your sympathy, she said, cheeks colored fire-red.
Im not giving you my sympathy, Drew pointed out, Im giving you my coat. Now be a good girl and shut up. He ignored Mays glaring and turned to face Bill, who seemed to have something to say. He gave a small nod to let him know he was listening.
He's a kind jerk, though
*laughs*Drew grinned. Im afraid Ill see you somewhere at the fair tonight, he said. Until then, see you.
Lets just hope Im not that unfortunate! May shouted after him as the automatic doors to the hotel closed behind him. A deep sigh left her lips. His attitude was definitely still the same as ever, she concluded, though it felt like he slightly eased on her. She also felt she couldnt really hate him anymore, maybe for that reason. Hmph! He still was a jerk.
Absolutely right, he'll always be your jerk.
WOW! he threw up three times?Two years at most, May said sweetly. Im sure you remember. You threw up three times.
Max turned away. Shaddap, he mumbled. At least I got over it. You-
Uh...Well, yes, May stammered, why?
Were the Drew Fan club, the blonde girl said. Im Kaci, the president. She spoke in a strange accent, though May couldnt make out which one.
Drews fan club? May looked puzzled. I always thought Ayumi was the president.
Kaci pulled her hand through her hair. Not that pathetic club, she said.
Does Drew really have so many clubs?
'the caring Drew' moments has come!What exactly are you doing? May vaguely recognised Drews voice.
Hi there! she said, strangely slow.
Drew frowned and put her back on her feet. Whats wrong with you? he asked. Youre acting strange, even for you.
KACI!You dont have time for little girls like me, May said earnestly. Youve got your own business to worry about, not including babysitting me. She giggled dumbly and stared around.
And who said that? Drew asked, frowning.
May tried to remember. A girl, she said slowly. With a really weird name. What was it again? Her head hurt as she attempted to recall the name. Something with Ka I think She suddenly felt very tired.
OMG, I LOVE IT. is there gonna be more? if so please tell me when its gonna be out.
Awesome fan fictions! I'm going to keep on reading them!
Signature coming soon
Wow, so many new replies? The last time I read this fic there wasn't anything new at all. Anyhow, I really would like to read what is going to happen to poor May. Not only because she's drunk, but because of this creepy fanclub. Pretty please with honey, Juny

Make-Ahead Blueberry Pie
The crust split. Blueberries burned on the oven floor. The soupy filling required a spoon to eat. How could freezing an unbaked pie cause so much aggravation?
Individual Raspberry-Pistachio Buckles
Fresh fruit scattered over a cake-like batter forms delicious juicy pockets during baking. Could we streamline and dress up this old-fashioned recipe?

Taipei Pop Music Center breaks ground
Today a groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the Taipei Pop Music Center (TPMC), marking the beginning of construction of the immense music venue. Commissioned by the Public Works and Cultural Affairs Department of the Taipei City Government and designed by Reiser + Umemoto, RUR Architecture PC with local architects Fei and Cheng, the building is due to complete in 2015.
Located on the outskirts of Taipei, the TPMC encompasses a series of mixed-use volumes connected with interlocking bridges and public spaces for the enjoyment of Taiwanese pop music with a design 'that reflects and supports the evolving culture of pop'.
The architects have created a form that retains its artificiality, integrated into the city fabric yet remaining architecturally distinct. Defined by three key volumes - the Main Hall, Hall of Fame and the Industry Shell - the TPMC is connected by an el

Yep, it's a Glam Life I Lead
Skydiving? No…it's too chilly out today. Mountain climbing? No…I get nose bleeds. Explore an uncharted island? Well, if it is uncharted I would spend most of my time finding it…and I only have today.
No…let's keep it simple. I found this morning that I have not cleaned out my email box since early December. 2200 emails piled up to the point where searching has become…tedious. I will clean out my mailbox. I have a spam filter that works very well so there is little need for deleting. I simply need to sort and file. We'll start with the A's. Wow, 400 entries in 40 categories in the A's alone. It is 7:00AM, Stay on task there fella.
I have 2 weeks' worth of laundry to get through as well. Why did I let it pile up? Oh yah, the washing machine was getting temperamental and I need to tweak it. Well no time now! I will slog through it and fix it later when I have time. My washing machine is 22 years old and frankly has grown tired. I have to at times manually assist the agitator in getting started. I know how to fix it, but frankly I only think about it when getting the laundry done is the priority. I need to move the repair up my list of things to get done.
It is 7:27AM, and I am in the C's…only 23 letters to go.
The laundry is in progress and now I need to take care of errands. I am going to pick up coffee and get me hair cut. I am bad about haircuts. I get one about 3-4 times a year. When I get it cut, I get it cut very short and let it grow in gradually. I only get haircuts on Saturday morning, and only when there is little or nothing else to do. I have been going to the same barber for more than 20 years and the routine is when I walk in, she says, "Hello Ron…shall I take 4 months worth off?"
Okay…back home with coffee and short hair. It is 10:00AM and I am on the G's. I still have 1500 emails to file…holy crap.
Checking on the laundry I find that the agitator has taken a break again. I really should stop and fix the darn thing. Nah…coax it again and keep going. I'll get to it…sometime.
It's 11:15 and I am on the J's. Holy Moly…I know a lot of people whose names begin with J. This will take a while.
I think I'll take a break and balance the checkbook…now that is exciting!
11:45 and I am on the O's…getting closer.
The dog's need a bath. Higgy loves baths, Gibby, not so much. I take turns with them and run them each their own bath. It is a chore trying to keep them still while I try to dry them, but now they don't smell like…well, dogs.
It's 12:30 and I am on the S's…sheesh!
Back to the laundry. Only 3 loads to go and frankly I tired of helping the agitator do its job…but it won't get fixed today…only 3 loads to go.
It's 1:15 and I am on the W's. WTF?! I really need to do this more frequently.
The plants need watering. Another thing I need to do more often…hmmmm.
It's 1:45 and I am on the Y's. You know…I am surprised how many people's names begin with Y.
2:00PM and finally my mailbox is cleaned and sorted. I really need to do this more often. Yah, I'll probably think of that again in 4 months while I'm sorting another 2200 emails.
So in the end, I know I have been a total braggart about the immensely exciting life I live and many of you are now consumed with envy. Email me and I will share my secrets to the high life…but remember it may be 4 months until I see your email and respond.
I'm just saying.

hahaha - I look at and respond to my emails every day, but every day there's the one, two or three emails I hang on to. Eventually, my line-up is quite long and I really need to dig through them and try to remember why I thought they were worth hanging onto in the first place.
Lucky you, you have a washer. You have water that goes into it automatically and out of it automatically too. You have no idea how lucky you are. I have a washer, and it does work, but I don't have water to fill it automatically - I have to use the bucket system. It takes 6 buckets of water to fill my washer, and yeah it pumps out just fine but currently my drain is frozen - nothing drains just fine at the moment - not until it warms up a lot more. And where do I get my 12 buckets of water (6 to wash & 6 to rinse)? My only source of water is melting snow and it takes 3 buckets of snow to make 1 bucket of water. You have it lucky. hahahahaha

Hi Brahm - Yep, it piles up. I answer them all, I just don't house clean that well. I wonder if there is a Molly Maid service for email boxes?
Alan - Yes I do, just less "musky" :)
Clare - I do a fairly good job with laundry (some might argue), but I need to repair the machine. I have the parts, I just keep putting it off. I suppose when I have to resort to beating my clothes clean on a rock by the river bank I'll be motivated to get the repair done ;)

Bloody hell Ron, what are you doing getting up at 7.30am on your day off? If I did that I would simply perish.
But, you will be glad to hear we have something in common - we both have lots of friends beginning with 'J'. How freaky is that?
P.S can we have a pic of your new haircut? - March 13, 2011 at 2:23 PM

This was your idea of a day off? I'm exhausted!
You have more patience than I do. I just get to a point with my inbox where I hit "delete all."
Sometimes you just have to cold-turkey the sucker. - March 13, 2011 at 6:30 PM

Grumpy - That doesn't sound like a bad idea you know :)
Anne - I'm almost afraid to tell you that I am usually up by 6:00AM even on the weekends. As for the photo...just imagine Marty Feldman with a brush cut ;)
Jayne - I save everything...but I like your idea ;) - March 14, 2011 at 4:02 AM

"The atmosphere is great and the staff has all been very friendly and helpful."
"hated that they played the music like!"
"great trainers but management\/owner is crooked"
"loved the trainers"
"the athletic club is a great plus for the downtown life."
"great gym"
"poor management, rip off artists"
"the drinks are pretty expensive for a health club,."
The lounge style of workout places.
This is the nicest gym in San Diego - atmosphere, great view of Petco Park, Pool & Sauna, nice equipment.
Some of the cons: they now have a contract with the Law School, so a ton of students in the yoga classes - you can barely breathe.
Not as much variety of the weekly classes in teaching method. Would like to see more cardio classes, Zumba during the week.
** Marissa is seriously the best Zumba teacher I have ever taken. Jen P. is a phenomenal skilled Yoga teacher. George is an awesome Kettlebells teacher.
Pros: Staff is friendly and helpful. Fun music in the gym. Great treadmills.
Excellent Gym. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a workout in a clean and friendly environment.
Best Gym in San Diego. I absolutely love this gym. The Boot Camp rocks! All of my friends workout at Fit—and when I meet someone new that doesn't, it only takes one visit and then they're hooked too.
Fit. Great gym. The fighting program is top notch with people who actually fight. Kettle bells, Bulgarian bag, MMA training—what more do want?
Not your typical gym. Fit is not your typical smelly gym that was designed by some meathead with a dream. I'm pretty sure a real designer was hired to do this space. It's obvious from the lounge area to the locker rooms. Superb equipment, great layout, and high quality people too. It's the kind of place where you would actually want to network with the other people who workout there. I can't imagine East Village without this place.
Quality Gym & Overall Fitness Center.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of Fit and always had a quality workout with the immense amount of quality equipment available.
The location is amazing as its in downtown San Diego overlooking Petco Park so you can watch a Padres game on the field below all while working out.
In addition to this you are provided FREE 3 hour garage parking nearby anytime you visit the gym.
The only thing that is missing from a complete gym wishlist of mine is a basketball court, but all the amenities provided easily overcomes this.
,Michael Martin
More than a gym. Fit Athletic is one of my favorite places to do Yoga, Watch the Padres, socialize, and oh yeah, work out! Gym is beautiful, equipment is top notch and locker room is first rate.
Best Gym in San Diego. This is by far the best gym in San Diego. I used to belong to LA Fitness and Fit Athletic is far superior. They have the best equipment around, the classes are great, and the gym is always very clean. They also have the best training staff. I never used to use a personal trainer but I have been working out with Paul and Glenn there and they top notch. They also have great food and I have been getting lunch there everyday for the past year. Management is constantly doing things to make this place even better. I would highly recommend joining this gym.
Great trainers but management/owner is crooked. Was a member at Fit for over a year, loved the trainers and that the gym was not over crowded. HATED that they played the music like you were in a night club! Also had a problem with paying a monthly fee then being charged an annual maintence fee. Also was charged for waters and food when I wasn't at the gym. I have since canceled my membership with the proper notice and made management sign for the cancelation notice and now I have been charged for my monthly fee for two months after the cancelation
Best Capeoira Class in San Diego.
The athletic club is a great plus for the downtown life. The interior is top notch and I love the equipment. It has such a great modern feel to it. The 2 best classes are: Capeoira with Bruno and Butts and Guts with Connie. I have taken several Capeoira classes and this one is by far the most challenging. The music is
from Brazil and he teaches a completely different class each time. Expect to burn at least 700 calories. You might also be soar for a day or two. Best instructor I have been to in a long time. Butts and Guts...this class is also very challenging and she will work you out like you haven't worked out before. I was soar for days and my hanmstrings were worked to the max. The yoga is pretty good, as well as th cycle classes. The pool is pretty small and just opened so not sure yet. I will need to swim a few laps and report back. Those are the +. The drinks are pretty expensive for a health club, so bring your own water.

Hi to all,
I'm from Spain and this is my first post.
I'm 43, 6'4" tall, 185 lb and average fitness. I used to surf 12 years ago with a beginner to intermediate level though nowadays I guess my level is back to beginner as I've not surfed since then... I've bodysurfed a lot in quite big and strong waves all these years but not on a surfboard since 12 years ago.
I recently ordered a FS Dominator 6'8" at an internet shop, hopefully it will arrive in a couple of weeks. I wonder if I chose the right board, maybe a little too big?, would it have been better a 6'6"?
Wich are the recommended fins according to my weight, size and level?. Should I use quad or thruster set up?.
I wonder if all FS Dominator need FCS fins, or they can be built to use Future fins... Looking at firewire site it seems that Rapidfire tech uses Futures and FS uses FCS, am I right or wrong?....
Thanks a lot in advance for the help and info.

Pretty good. I think the face itself should be facing more to my right, so you'd be able to see more of the neck. This is because you're showing the left ear but not the right. That would fix some of the stiffness/awkwardness of the position. Also the glasses look a bit strange because they seem to be hanging in space with nothing to hold on to (the ears).

It is a little awkward for me to admit that I never really looked at the OT scripture the eunuch was reading. I always pretty much thought it was just an OT reference to Jesus being the sacrificial lamb. "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth." Acts 8:32,33. For me, Jesus is a sacrificial lamb: for the eunuch, it was much more important. For those of you that "got it" a long time ago, please be gentle with me.
1 - As one who is not a eunuch, this passage might help me understand by Philip's example how I should/could someone whose matters sexually are pretty much different than mine. The Eunuch was studying scripture, and Philip explained the scripture to the eunuch, who was then baptized. Philip disappeared, and the eunuch went on his way rejoicing.
2 - The scripture does not say the eunuch was homosexual. While it is a little bit of a stretch to conclude that, we might assume that the eunuch did not go find a nice Christian girl and start a family.
3 - The bible also points out that some eunuchs are born that way, and others are made that way by people. I can't help but see the parallel to conversations about nature and nurture in others naznet threads.
4 - The writer of Acts was Luke, a doctor. Doctors have pretty much been the one who made decisions at the time of gender assignment. Doesn't prove anything, except that it's strange that I hadn't see that part before. Luke may have had more than one reason to note the story of the eunuch's conversion.
If time sequence is accurate, Saul was next to find Jesus.
All of this may mean nothing, but a heightened awareness of individuals different than myself has contributed to my seeing things differently. Perspective? That sensitivity began several years ago when I met a believer eunuch, who admitted struggling with sexual identity in the church.

Holding candles, hundreds pray for Hugo Chavez
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Hundreds of Venezuelans held a candlelight vigil Friday evening for President Hugo Chavez, praying for their leader while he remained in a hospital undergoing cancer treatment.
Chavez's supporters gathered on a large staircase in a hillside park near the presidential palace. They lit candles and sang along with a recording of a healthy Chavez belting out the national anthem.
Some wiped away tears. Others closed their eyes and prayed.
Some said they felt sad, yet still hopeful that Chavez might be able to pull through it.
"We're praying for the president, for him to get through all of this," said Ana Perez, a seamstress holding a candle and shielding her flame from the breeze with a piece of paper.
Her eyes filled with tears as she talked about Chavez. "There is no other president like this one. He's unique," she said, wiping a wet cheek.
"He's going to come out of all of this, and he's going to get better," Perez said. "He's survived many hard things. He's strong."
A group of indigenous people in traditional dress danced around a bonfire at the base of the stairs. One woman blew on a conch shell, while others shook gourds as they danced around the flames.
Chavez hasn't been seen since he returned to Venezuela on Monday from Cuba, where for 10 weeks he was recovering and fighting complications following his latest cancer surgery Dec. 11.
The Venezuelan government provided an update on Chavez's condition Thursday night, saying that he remained at a military hospital in Caracas and that "the medical treatment for the fundamental illness continues without presenting significant adverse effects." Continued...
The government has not given details about the treatment Chavez is undergoing, and hasn't identified the type or exact location of the tumors that have been removed from his pelvic region.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas read the statement on television, saying that a "respiratory insufficiency" that arose in the weeks after the surgery "persists and its tendency has not been favorable, thus it continues to be treated."
The government has said that Chavez is breathing through a tracheal tube, which makes talking difficult. But officials say he still is able to write, communicate with government officials and sign documents.
Foreign Minister Elias Jaua read a lengthy letter from Chavez on Friday to a gathering of African and South American leaders in Equatorial Guinea.
In the letter, which ran for about 1,500 words, Chavez said he was sorry not to be able to attend the meeting. Chavez denounced Western military intervention in Africa and reiterated his criticisms of NATO's military involvement in Libya in 2011, when his ally Moammar Gadhafi was ousted and killed.
Chavez also called for more "South-South cooperation" and said of Africa and South America, "We are the same people."
The letter ended with the words: "We will live and be triumphant!"

Jane O'Gorman
MY ex-partner refused to even discuss having children with me and now his wifes just about to have their third.
I cannot tell you how devastated this makes me feel.
Its not that Im too old to have children of my own Im 31 but I loved my ex so much and thought he felt the same about me.
Its so upsetting to realise that I wasted all those years loving someone with all my heart when he couldnt care less about me.
We started going out at school when we were 15. Everyone said what a perfect couple we were and I suppose I thought wed be together for ever.
We did everything together and aged 18 we rented a tiny flat.
After a couple of years we bought a house and as we had a spare room I thought it would be a perfect time to start a family.
It wasnt as if we couldnt afford it because he was working for his dads firm and I knew theyd help out if we were struggling.
But he wouldnt discuss having a baby.
I used to literally beg him on my knees to let us at least try, but hed go off in a massive sulk and wouldnt speak for days.
Even when all our friends were having babies and getting married, he wouldnt even consider it.
Four years ago, after wed been together for 12 years, he left me for his secretary.
And now theyre married and having another baby. We live in a small town and naturally I see them out and about.
She just sneers at me, but he stops for a chat and seems so proud that hes a husband and a father.
He doesnt seem to understand how he hurt me and expects us to be friends.
But what did I do so wrong that she got everything and I got nothing?
JANE SAYS: You did nothing wrong. But I wonder if your ex ever took your relationship seriously.
You were together from the age of 15 and I suspect that he never really advanced from beyond that point.
To him your relationship was one between two playground sweethearts and that wasnt a grown-up, adult thing.
When he was ready to move on, he did it with someone else.
He has no idea that hes rubbing his kids and marriage in your face because he had never committed to you in an adult way. By refusing even to discuss marriage or kids, he probably felt eternally 18.
Im afraid hell never get it, because hes moved on. And so must you.
Maybe its time to spread your wings and put this small town behind you.
You dont need a constant reminder of how this man treated you every time you walk down the High Street, so consider a move or spend more time with friends who live elsewhere.

Hi GasCzarCO, Noticed your great comment on today's news item, "2014 Chevrolet Spark EV starts at $27,495". In my opinion, all-electric vehicles are not the answer to high fuel prices or environmental problems. Keep posting those good responses. Want to become buddies?? Warren {:-)
Nice horseless carriage.
Hello, GasCzarCO -- You brought up an excellent point in your comment re: the fall of the U.S. dollar -- and the heavy reliance on us by the rest of the world has had a major impact......Definitely food for thought.....You're right, though -- Most people overlook this economic aspect, myself included. -- Thank-you for posting -- Have a great day! : )
Thanks for posting; please take the time to "PumpUp" articles that you feel are worthwhile.
I agree with your post on Obama's rating.
Thanks for the comment.

Further, it introduced many concepts and efficiency tools already well known in the Java community.

WILLIAMSON - If anyone has been driving through the City of Williamson during the past two days, one couldn't have helped but notice the unusually large crowds forming a line outside the Mingo County Courthouse.
This sight marked the beginning of the early voting process offered to local residents, and numerous citizens elected to cast their votes for the candidates of their choice prior to the May 8 Primary.
The voting is being held inside the first floor County Commission courtroom, where two election officials are in place from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with the final date scheduled for May 5.
Election officials Claudette Pyszkowski and Nancy Stacy have kept very busy since the process began, as only two voters at a time are allowed in the courtroom.
Pyskowski told the Daily News that close to 200 individuals had cast their votes during the first two days, and said she expected to have a steady flow straight through the May 5 deadline.
"We ask that everyone be patient and realize that we can only accommodate two voters at a time, so they may have a waiting period, depending on how many are waiting for a turn," said Stacy. "We are only away from the courtroom for short breaks and to try to eat some lunch, but the rest of the time we're there assisting the voters."
A representative of the West Virginia Secretary of State's (SOS) office was present in the courtroom on Thursday, after requests were made for SOS Natalie Tennant to conduct an investigation of alleged election discrepancies. When asked, the female representative said that all complaints were being addressed and close attention was being paid to the entire election process.
If anyone would like more information on early voting, contact the Mingo County Clerk's office at 304-235-0330.

Ohio man stabbed in leg on north side of Morris
Dite: Suspect taken into custody, but was later released
An Ohio man was stabbed in the leg Tuesday night in a field across from the Morris Chili's restaurant.
Morris police and the Grundy County State's Attorney's office are investigating the incident, but no one had been charged as of early Wednesday afternoon, said Morris Police Chief Brent Dite.
At about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night, officers responded to a report of a stabbing. The victim was interviewed at the scene and gave a description of the alleged suspect's vehicle. The vehicle was located on the 1100 block of Cemetery Road.

Ken Catalino is a conservative cartoonist who is happiest puncturing balloons filled with the lightweight gas of liberal idealism. This doesn't prevent him from criticizing conservatives on occasion, if reason and rationality are violated
