I really enjoyed reading these stories,very interesting! And I love the  long-hair drawings

I've actually come across that site before but have never read it, mostly because I find it rather creepy that one of the main characters of the story has the exact same first & middle name as I do.

Greetings:

Hi, Robin. Thanks for the plug for my novel and Anne and Autumn for the art compliments.

Cairn, I had to check your profile to see which character you refered, (fully expecting to see Kayla Christine, not that uncommon of a name).

I never expected to hear of another Kirby Ann (e)! Kirby is very uncommon name for a girl. I picked Ann for the middle name because it flowed well. Another intersting point is that my chacater lives in southern Illinois and your profile says 'Ill.'. My character has black hair (starting at slightly longer than classic length at first and ending knee length) parted down the middle. She writes and sings. She is shy at the beginning and comes around later due to Kayla.

She is a teen during this story as I see you are as well (just differrent time periods as my Kirby Ann would be 49 today). Much of my art is based on this charater as well, example:



I get search queries, as many as 5-7 a day with 'Kirby Ann' 'Kirby Ann Bauer' 'Kirby Ann hair' Kirby Ann Kayla' and others in the keywords. Many geneology sites come up with my novel but most are Ann Kirby. Never have I seen a Kirby Ann anything in these sites.

I find this fascinating! Please, come read the story!

Note: I have this novel at another server that doesn't have the popups.

KA, Hi. Kirby means 'from the church town', an old English name for a girl. I'm not real sure the exact circumstance when I chose Kayla and Kirby, but wanted an umcommon name starting with an uncommon letter. I think the names just came to me.

The lead for my other full length novel is Perla Dawn, probably even more uncommon.

So, what are your goals for hair length? I see you write as well. It's so fun and a great stress reliever!

Now to get to work on that last chapter........



PS, Robin - I finally got back on the bike. I rode two miles and got yet one more flat tire. UGHH!

My current goal is classic length. I've also always wanted hair long enough to sit on, but I think with my current lifestyle it'd be too much of a hassle to care for. Maybe someday...

And yes, I love to write as well, though I've never finished anything as expansive as you have (mostly for lack of  time). I plan on majoring in either English or writing in college, though I'm not totally sure what I want to do from there; perhaps freelance writing. We'll see.

Sir Rat;
I am happy and sad about this being the final chapter of Best Friends.  I will be sure to read it once January is over and I have a few minutes of my own time back.

As for the gal you couldn't come right out an say what you really wanted to say...... I believe that your warm, positive thoughts will somehow make their way to her.  Many of us receive few compliments on our hair in real life, but we KNOW our hair is being observed, appreciated, and even envied by the many who have no voice.  Your writing and artwork tells us how much you enjoy long hair - You do soooo much more than most in communicating.

How cool is that.
I have an interesting story too(at least I hope you think it's interesting)
My boyfriend has an identical twin. He is getting married in about a month. His bride-to-be has butt length hair and it's brown. People think we are twins. This may be because our hair length or color or our smily personalities. I don't know. Mine is curly and her's is straight, but if you take the ends of both and mix them together in your hand, you can't tell which is which. Kind of fun. The fact that both our boys fell for girls like us is an interesting concept.

Hi, Zaphyre!

I am the author of this story. Thank you for reading. I invite you to read the sequel when you finish.

Part of the story is Kayla bringing the beautiful Kirby Ann out of her shell and shine. The fact that Kirby Ann sings before a crowd later in the novel is a success of Kayla helping her best friend. In the beginning of the novel, Kirby Ann didn't want to join the choir!

-----------------

Robin, on her side of the family, an identical twin cousin married an identical twin girl. Although it was wished (or cursed as some said) that it would serve them right to give birth to twins, they had three single births. As for the other half of the two twin sets, the boy is still single and last I heard, the girl was single, too. So......... (Actually, I think they tried and didn't hit it off too well.) The twin girls have mid back blonde hair and are in their mid 40's. Both boys went bald.

Think this could be another novel? "A Tale of Two Twin Couples"? Has possibilities.......... 8)

Just tried to connect to it, and it's a set of 'hidden links' to extreme pornography sites now!

Oh, and it might be trying to drop malicious content onto the pc - good job I checked it in firefox first, I hope...

OK, that's better

Sorry to hear of your server problems, Sir Rat.  I hope the link I've used is OK - let me know if there is a better one I should use.

Recumbent riding can be addictive - but it looks like you'be benefited from your friends cast offs!  I've got to clear out the space in my "training room" so I can bring my bike back in for the season.  I just hate giving up my outside riding.

I've never done a century ride.  The closest I've done was 85 miles (and it was the 3rd day of a 6 day ride!).  A century ride is an excellent goal for you.  Good luck on training for it. 

The KATY is a rail trail, right?  Minimal hills/inclines?

I ride a lot of rail bed trails in MN and WI. They are a slower pace, but much more relaxing than in traffic!

We have a few trails that are dealing with the legalities of ownership as well..... a real bummer if the trails revert to private ownership - lots of great trails would be lost.
