Your picture was nice too, David!  E and E will be in bed soon enough, though I doubt Ennis' back will look quite so perfect tonight...lol.
 

What pic is this?  It is no longer available!!
hey David, what pic did you post there?

I wrote for those who, identifiying too closely with Ennis, and feeling a gaping wound left at the end of the film or story, have to complete the story with a plausible future outcome for Ennis and a step by step resolution of his losses and pains, and doing so in the context of a new, healthier love relationship with another man.  This audience is people who need to have a mirror for the kind of change they personally would like to accomplish for themselves - and not everyone wants to do that, and as we well know, not every fan fiction reader wants to see that unfold in a story. 

Are we are Ennises who want to achieve change in our lives despite our tendency to maintain the status quo or maybe we are a combination of the two - Jacks who love the Ennis within and can make that leap of faith that he can change?

Another deep question. Would Ennis really prefer Ellery to wear a burqua while out in public?

PS Am now back home from my travels and jetlagged. It's winter again but at least I have my own PC at last!

PPS I will still be visiting other dc threads including my beloved symbolism thread.

Lucise - it was a blond guy and a brown haired guy in bed together.  Both wearing denims.  Brown haired guy sitting with his back to the headboard, with his shirt off.  Blond haired guy sort of sitting in his lap, arms stretched over his head, midst taking off his t-shirt...  not that I looked at the picture for a long time or anything...

(I just realized the 'real me' would have said - "both wearing jeans" - that was me doing Laramie speak up there... hee hee.)

Uh, what's a burqua, and how embarrassed should I be for having to ask the question?

Next question - how on earth do Ennis and Ellery know what a burqua is?

They don't. But if Ennis ever finds out, I'm sure he'll demand that Ellery wear it in public!

No, he wouldn't ..lol!
He just doesn't want Ellery exposing his "French Territories" to the world ... hehe
All Ennis is trying to say is:

Maybe. But only the other day he told him to put a shirt on before going into the kitchen. What is next I ask.
