Hmph. (b/c the appropriate emoticon is not available here) All considered, I have been practically a saint. (I can't believe it has come to the point where methodwriter85 has to stick up for me. )

waiting for something to patience is not my strong suit.

Yes, yes you are. And so am I. So I google translated too. (it takes two seconds! why wouldn't anyone take the time?)

I"m just glad someone else is just as impatient as I am for Adam to hurry up and write!! Sheesh. You'd think he had a life or something. I s'pose I'm one of the few who's not disappointed he called Angie. She's... 'safer' and maybe Andy needs to shore up his courage before he tackles the problem with Matt. It seems to me this chapter was setting up... well. That's Andy's done hiding his "true" and "real" self with all the sexing-drugging-drinking. And that he feels "real" when he's with the people he loves. He has less crap to wade through with Angie. And I hope that she'll help him get to the place where he can have THE TALK with Matt. Hmm. This sounds like a lot of hoping and wishing on my end. Too much for a self-avowed defensive pessimist. Thanks, Adam. (grumble). You made me cry. And I don't think I will forgive you anytime soon. (at least, not until the next chapter is up,

This one is a bit too hopeful for Chapter 28, but maybe it's a song for Matt's side of things. lyrics: Come to me now And lay your hands over me Even if it's a lie Say it will be alright And I shall believe I'm broken in two And I know you're on to me That I only come home When I'm so all alone But I do believe That not everything is gonna be the way You think it ought to be It seems like every time I try to make it right It all comes down on me Please say honestly you won't give up on me And I shall believe And I shall believe Open the door And show me your face tonight I know it's true No one heals me like you And you hold the key Never again would I turn away from you I'm so heavy tonight But your love is alright And I do believe That not everything is gonna be the way You think it ought to be It seems like every time I try to make it right It all comes down on me Please say honestly You won't give up on me And I shall believe I shall believe And I shall believe

Wow. that was quick!! the color of the sky as evening approaches is so, so, so very gorgeous, isn't it? could be inspiring, maybe. you're a far better person than I am. i must've skipped the line when they were handing out this virtue.

I was just engaging in some rabble-rousing to stir up the troops. It's been too quiet in here. I'm willing to wait (not that I have a choice), but I don't have to like it.

You're heartless. Just cruel. Cruel, I say. Wait. Maybe If I want more CC, I should be buttering you up and begging. Offering a goat? A duck? What will it take?

Glad we are entertaining you, too. My heart broke for both Matt and Andy at several points in the story. There were also several times where I wanted to yell at them both or lock them in a room together. Originally, I wasn't going to re-read the story until Adam finished. Then, I let him convince me to read each chapter as they were re-released. I suppose I could be using this time to (a) work on my schoolwork, ( read the other stories Adam has recommended, or © get some sleep. nah.

Anya- I have an idea of what happens in the storyline, but I don't know details. You think if I knew exact details, I'd be posting in this forum BEGGING Adam to write faster? I can say that if I knew it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad ending, I would be warning y'all off from the damn story. I'd be treating it like it was ebola. But I've been busy peddling this story as if I were getting royalties or something. (so the ending better be good, dagnabit!) However, I think Adam is a terrible, terrible tease. TERRIBLE. It is my belief that we (us lowly fans patiently/not-so-patiently waiting for new chapters) are very entertaining to him, and I think he is dragging out the publishing of this story to keep us in agony. I"m sort of kidding. We're not too far off from the end, and I know Adam's been just a little bit pre-occupied. I s'pose I'll give him a pass.

Hopefully everyone is as fortunate in their friendships, old and new. I know I am. Perhaps this is the one time of year during which you do not prescribe to theory of defensive pessimism?

Mark's CAP saga is a good read (with lots of installments). Good reading for when you're waiting. As for the proposed ending... I don't know if 7-8 more chapters is gonna get us up to Matt'n"Andy as adults adults. I'll be happy if we can just get them to TALK to each other.

Yes Adam, please do!! I don't know if there's much logic behind it, actually (speaking personally). I just prefer to be pleasantly surprised than bitterly disappointed. Pretty sure that's how it works for most of us defensive pessimists. Anya- have you any other favorite authors? I've complied a list of recs from this board (mostly from Adam) and Dom Luka seems to be a fave for the teen angst theme.

It's always good to be in the know. And you, dear sir, know damn good-and-well that patience is NOT my strong suit. He is a sneaky one, but he's good for his word on things like this... Let's be cautiously optimistic for once (I'm a lifelong subscriber to the school of defensive pessimism).

I don't remember what chapter it ended on before...? Somewhere in the early 20s, I think. Chapter 22, maybe? I just remember being very very very upset at the author. I think Adam's promise of "you won't want to slit your wrists" when we get to the ending is about as good as we're gonna get about a happy ending. I trust him to keep his word. Let's take it a chapter at a time. I'm eagerly awaiting chapter 28.
