To be honest **WordMan** I really don’t want to reveal where I live. All I can say is that it’s in Northern Europe somewhere. Sorry about this.

I’m 18 so that still makes me some sort of teenager, or just a very immature adult.

I have no intention of becoming a writer, the thought has never occurred to me before. Even if I don’t understand it myself I’m very grateful when people say they like my writing style. Also I must admit that my head is getting really swollen at the moment. I just wish my teacher felt the same way.

Thanks again people, you are the best!

Somebody should adopt this for a sig!

Skewbald: If you \* ad-hoc\*‘ed(How did ya’ like that one) your above post in two hours, at some point in your life, your writing talent and an opportunity will come face to face. You may not be planning on serious writing, but the level of talent you are demonstrating will not be denied, in the long run. Don’t plan on it, if you don’t want to, just don’t be shocked when you find yourself doing some serious writing. .02 from me.

Sounds like you got the ‘American-style prom’ thing down to a science. That’s pretty much what I did at the only prom I went to.

De-ticking the cat! Now THAT’S romantic!

Skewbald- The story is great, and you deserve much praise for it. Not to mention that English apparently isn’t your native language. What language do you speak where you live?

Well **Daoloth** that’s a secret, I’m sorry but I’m just trying to preserve some sort of anonymity. I don’t mean to be arrogant or anything, just a bit careful.

I seriously doubt that I’ll post those pictures **chief** , sorry again. I haven’t seen them myself yet, I look forward too it. Even if I look like a complete dork next to her.

There’s nothing like having free from school and hanging out at the SDMB with a nice cup of tea.

Skewbald,

I have commented several times on your writing ability in this thread, and the fact that you have done EVERYTHING RIGHT so far. You seriously have talent, especially if English may not be your first language. regardless, you should start writing a lot more. You observe everything, and you file it away. that is what makes a good writer. Your prose flows, it takes a life of its own and carries the reader with it. Everyone reading this is EXACTLY there with every word you write.

If your writing ability hadn’t already marked you out as one excellent addition to the Doper family, its the fact that in a picture of you dressed up in a suit, with a beautiful woman that you love on your arm, **you made the metal sign**.

Sir, My utmost gratitude to you for entertaining me. I can think of no greater compliment other than to say that you can entertain.

You, quite frankly, roxx0r.

Kudos.

If it’s what I’m thinking, it’s what you see Ozzy (and other heavy metal artists and fans) do:

make a fist  
straighten your thumb out (some leave the thumb in)  
straighten your index finger out  
straighten the pinky out

Skewbald-  
I love your story and you really are an extremely talented and engaging writer. I find it very hard to believe that your teacher doesn’t agree. However, if you say so, maybe it’s because in school your writing may be forced, dull assignments, not from the heart, etc. One of the foremost rules of writing is to _write what you know_, and when it comes to that, you are one of the best, professional or not, that I’ve ever read.  
Keep us updated!

I kind of understand why you want to keep your anonymity, but on the other hand, if she reads this thread, she’ll know it’s you and her…if anyone close to you reads this thread, they’ll know it’s you and her…and anyone who isn’t, will probably not care. Except us, of course, who are DYING to see what she looks like. 🙂

Anyway, we do respect your privacy…and if you wish to remain low profile, that’s perfectly fine with me. Thanks for sharing any of this in the first place…it’s been wildly entertaining. Keep us posted! We all can’t wait to find out what happens next.

This is what SDMB is all about isn’t it? This is all about love and we’re feeling ya’ young fella. Your writing style: I’m not sure about others but it causes me to smoosh my face as close to the monitor as possible with a slack-jawed gaze. You may not have thought about writing up to this point, but the length and intensity of yor posts show there’s a writer in there dying to get out. You WILL be successful if you decide to write. Heck- publish something write now and your guarenteed the following of the entire SDMB Teeming Millions! I would even suggest submitting this story (or a fictional one very close to it). Could this be published in “Reader’s Write”? PLEASE keep us updated

WOW, this has been a great thread, I’ve been hooked on it ever since I began, and I do remember the original, NICELY DONE. Just wanted to echo what everyone has said, keep up the good work there bud. And part of the reason it has taken me sooo loong to get to a point to be able to reply is because your writing is so engaging. The minute details are great. I had to read thru the whole damn thing. And nice job with the girl too.
