At this very moment, there are billions of lives being led today ----
That is billions lifestyles, thoughts, breaths, decisions, plans, mistakes, and hearts.
It is impossible to keep track of every second of every life and every death, but we can try.

The Church and Wellesley neighborhood is one of Canada’s most vibrant communities. Because of it's diverse atmosphere, the neighborhood draws in a fair share of activity and has a growing number of residents. As with any community, it is both a struggle and a pleasure to call it home. Though, the general message, one that you'll pick up on almost instantly, is no matter where you're from, or how you happened upon Church and Wellesley, you're welcomed. It's just that behavior, the indiscriminate kindness and underlying sense of safety, that has drew in so many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered residents. Needless to say, it's a place to just be yourself, and never have to worry about what the next person has to say because, nine times out of ten, they're going through the exact same thing. Everyone that drifts into Toronto's gay village has their own story, be it that they've always known who they were, what they like, and have always been proud of it, or rather, if they've oppressed their feelings in denial and, when the torture finally became too much, they chose to turn over a new page in life - and ended up in the quaint little community with too many blinding rainbow flags.
"While all of the girls had crushes on 80s heartthrobs, I had it bad for Christie Brinkley[/b]."
Naturally, life isn't all rainbows, even though you may mistake it as so, considering the amount of pride flags and signs on display around town. The majority of residents hope for tolerance and acceptance, but not approval, as there will always be discrimination. Although the community may not be as safe as it claims in tourist brochures, the residents don't really take that into account; instead, they're too busy trying to make the best out of life. When a nine to five work or school day doesn't consume the majority of the time, you can bet that there's always a festive celebration happening on Church Street, some a little more questionable than others. Shame on you for thinking that Pride was the only time the community let loose and party. Nearly every night is spent, or should be, dancing in the street, but alas, it's doubtful that anyone is that gay. A lot of the activity does rely on the nightlife. If it's one thing that Church and Wellesley has, it's a lot of bars and clubs, some specifically catering to men, while others cater to women. Sounds fair, doesn't it? The clubs are especially helpful if you want to have a nice fun hook up. Not to mention, if you're that in the mood for love, there are a handful of community programs to help you find someone.
"When all my friends were joining sports teams, I not only memorized the cheerleader's routines, I performed it better than them."
Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk, named after the song by the amazing Rufus Wainwright, has been in business since March of 2008. We've had a host of members and characters during the time of the boards existence, but we're always looking for new additions to the board. Even as a real life rpg, we try to focus on actual character development and diversity, as opposed to only relationships. No, we're not just a board for roleplaying, we're a community of writers; prospering and growing as writers, and having fun while doing so, is one of the goals of c&cm, so don't be unfair and cheat yourself out of becoming a member.
