Tonight starts to prove that it's the season for miracles...**( The Gift...Collapse ) (1 comment | comment on this) Thursday, December 9th, 2004 6:18 pm - Point of No Return...

So far, it's all been about comfort, learning to trust each other. Tonight, even though they're scared, they both take things a little further toward building their new relationship. ________________________________( Luke's apartment is starting to feel like home to Logan.Collapse ) (comment on this) Monday, November 8th, 2004 11:51 pm - Mark & Danny enjoy the late afternoon. Sunday, October 10th, 2004 2:54 pm - New journals at LA journals edgecity Hi everyone! I'm writing to announce the arrival of two new journals at la_journals. lukerush has existed for some time but Luke is just starting to post now. digitalwave is writing his journal, starting from almost a year ago. She is backdating all the posts but you are welcome to comment as much as you like. I'm sure Luke would love to hear from you. By reading his journal, you'll get to see the story of the man who saved Bobby's life eight years ago, who is just now trying to come back into life, only to find that Bobby has moved on. merely_a_player is a brand new character created to provide an outsider's observations of Mark "Adonis", Danny "The Artist", and Bobby "The Musician". merely_a_player, or Logan, uses code names for all of the character except himself, including Luke, who he's calling Atlas. Logan will be integral to the moving on of all three original LA Journals characters and of Luke as well. Logan will probably write more about his background in his journal, but feel free to comment and ask him any questions you like.As usual, we welcome all of you to read and participate in the la_journals because it's you, the fans, that make the journaling experience complete.

Saturday, September 18th, 2004 1:31 am - An anniversary joanne_c It was a year ago today (wow, it honestly doesn't seem that long) that I was on a long bus ride and a song I hadn't really listened to in years came on. I spent the rest of the bus ride after the song finished happily daydreaming about two men, separated by circumstances. Their life was hard, but they'd loved each other and were separated for reasons beyond their control even if they thought they knew why. By the end of that weekend, I had what I thought was a plot idea for a novel - which I'm still considering writing.About a week later, I was in a chat room and one of those characters ended up having what I thought at the time was a random cyber encounter with another original character. Luck or fate dictated that I choose the character I chose (it truly could have been either and it was random that I chose the one I did - it did feel more right, but it was more...that one will do than any great thought).When that turned out not to be the only encounter between the characters, I thought - great, a chance to develop the character through web chats and cyber encounters. I never intended the two characters to fall in love, and neither did the other writer. It wasn't at all planned. Of course, the characters had their own ideas.The character I came up with a year ago was Bobby McGee. Thanks to everyone who's ever read one of his entries, commented, or just been here through this amazing year with him. No matter what, every one of you has been a part of his growth and development.Special *hugs* to edgecity without whose Mark Bobby wouldn't be who he is today, and to digitalwave for bringing Danny and the other character I came up with that day, Luke, to life. Bobby wouldn't be the same without either of you, and neither would I.The lyrics to the song, for those who don't know it.ME & BOBBY MCGEE Written by Kris Kristofferson Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains,Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans.Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,Took us all the way to new orleans.I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandannaAnd was blowin’ sad while Bobby sang the blues,With them windshield wipers slappin’ time andBobby clappin’ hands we finally sang up every songThat driver knew.Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free,Oh, but feelin’ good was easy lord, when Bobby sang the blues,And feelin' good was good enough for me,Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,Standin’ right beside me lord, through everything I done,Every night she kept me from the cold.Then somewhere near Salinas lord, I let her slip away,Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll find,And I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine.Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,And nothin’ left was all she left for me,Feelin’ good was easy, lord, when Bobby sang the blues,And buddy, that was good enough for me.Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.current mood: good (comment on this) Wednesday, September 8th, 2004 4:13 am - Bobby and Danny talk after class on Tuesday Monday, September 6th, 2004 5:51 pm - Danny's schedule for Fall 2004 UCLA and Physical therapy/ Rehab digitalwave Design for Interactive Media 2pm - 4:50pm Monday, Wednesday**Advanced Techniques - Life Drawing Mixed Media: 1:00pm - 4:50pm Tuesday, Thursday______________________________________Physical Therapy with Josh: 9am - 10:30am Monday, FridayCognitive Retraining and Rehab: 10:30 - 11:30 TuesdayMonthly Physician's clinic appointment: 11am - 12pm 1st Friday of month (comment on this) Thursday, August 19th, 2004 3:46 pm - It's a quiet morning, but something's not quite right... Friday, August 13th, 2004 1:19 am - Today we'll talk of many things... Saturday, August 7th, 2004 1:01 am - Silly Me edgecity Earlier today, Mark made two posts. One was supposed to be for Bobby, the other was supposed to be for Danny. Only I didn't pay attention to what I copied so I said everyone except Bobby or Danny could see the respective posts.I have corrected the mistakes and I am sorry for any confusion.On regular friends locked posts, and public posts, you are all free to comment on any of the character journals. Enjoy!
