MILES!! Dion's a great character too, but I know from experience that long distance relationships don't always work out. Plus Miles has the charm of being a best friend first and lover second. Either way, I am loving this story... and already want a new update.

So happy to be caught up! I feel like all the updates for the stories I'm following have gotten buried under the new GA Stories announcements. I really liked the flashback scene and getting to know more about Brad's bio-dad. Also I love hearing good things about my beloved little city, New York! Having lived here all my life I can't even imagine only seeing it once but I'm happy you guys left with good impressions! New Yorkers get a bad rep but most are really friendly, helpful people who are, above all, completely accepting. Nobody even bats an eye at PDA--gay, straight, or otherwise.

Just to weigh in a different opinion on the older parents thing. My mom was 40 (born in '49) when she had me and just tonight she chided my brother's girlfriend for being "close-minded" about rap. She, uh, definitely gets the hip hop thing. lol

Very sad parting/chapter. Even more so to remember that neither of them live for very long after this. [On a side note, though: I'm really curious about the use of the word punk at this time. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I've never heard it used to mean sissy or gay as it seems to connote whenever it comes up. So, if you know, where does that word come from?]

Hey all! My name's Beck. I've been a GA lurker for almost a year now and I felt it was time to make myself a profile so I could finally write nice comments to the authors I've enjoyed over the past few months. Um, I guess I should do a little introduction? I'm 20 and a university student studying anthropology in good old NYC. I love reading and writing and if I had my way I'd just try to make it as a novelist. Maybe one day I'll do just that.
