Thank you, Peequa. Did you have another name before? <BR>
I was diagnosed with major depression. I've always thought I was manic depressive but no one's ever given me that diagnosis. Sometimes I just have these insane spurts of energy and I talk really fast. And I do too many things impulsively. Like road tripping to Las Vegas from Texas with a sociopath and getting married at a drive-up window. The party never ends. It's the hangovers (consequences)that are killing me.

Just watched "Vanilla Sky." It's my new favorite movie. I love the scene where Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz are drawing each other.

Stephen, good call that it could use a link bar there.  Though in my tests, even when it does that little "auto-redirect" trick, my back button still works the way I expect it to...at least in IE. What browser are you using?<BR>
<BR>
In any case, I added the link bar. Looks pretty good, though it's in a relatively unusual place.  Also I might still tweak the lay out of the search boxes.

Vish - Malaria, always a good excuse to drink Gin and Tonic! and you lose loadsa weight too - hurah! (- although thats not so good for you babes)<BR>
<BR>
Wordley - loved the bump!<BR>
<BR>
Just watched Captain Corelli's Mandolin for the first time. Beautiful. Broken hearts all over the place. And I was so glad it had a happy ending! I was  convinced that I was going to be pissed off at the end cos one of them died or something. The book's been sat on my bookcase for ages, maybe I'll finally get round to reading it now.<BR>
<BR>
Wish me luck for tomorrow Peeps. I've been doing a Post-grad course this year and get the results tomorrow!

Oh no!! I left the name off my 55 word story!! The title is meant to be "that summer"<BR>
<BR>
I wanted to know if the stories have to be exactly 55 words or if they just have to be LESS than 55 words?<BR>
<BR>
Take care of your hearts,<BR>

Vish and Deeva~No it doesn't have to be exactly 55 words. It can be less. But why not use up all the words you can? Hehe. ;-) 55 words is just the max, and it must be fiction.<BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that blow stuff<BR>

This 55 word thing is driving me nuts.LOL, but now I can't seem to write anything that is over 55 words. It's addicting. Thanx Jon for introducing this new genre to us.<BR>
I am loving your stories people, they are great!!!
