Looks like Matt is gonna make Andy beg for his forgiveness. And I'm not sure if Matt using Thomas just b/c he knew Andy was there spying on them, is making the tension between them worse. I do love the bonding Andy had with his dad. I think that's really important and it's sad to think that his folks were never really demonstrative with him while he was growing up. And of course I loved the deal his father thought of. Anything to keep Andy away from sex! lol

"Counting Stars" by OneRepublic - I heard it yesterday on the radio and now it's in a loop in my brain.

Well, that was awkward at the end. Maybe Jake fucked up enough that Caleb only THINKS he wants him, but his mind is already dismissing him. And what's with the 'dude' shit? Jake confessed his love for Caleb and he wants to be his b/f, so what's with the 'dude' shit? lol That's only reserved for someone who has a fuck buddy status. haha And Caleb is definitely NOT a fuck buddy. And besides, panicking or non panicking, what Jake did in the cafeteria was horrible! I was reading it with my mouth hanging open. I don't know if Caleb should forgive him. And Jake's such a damn hypocrite! You always leave me wanting more, furnished! =)

Wow, Trevor, I got all choked up when Miracle and Sterling said their goodbyes to one another. So, Jordan is just as bad as Eric. I can't believe he the took money to help Martha stab and kill Robin and her unborn baby. They're a bunch of psychos. Good thing Miracle got rid of his phone. Although I'm not sure those guys in Arby's want anything to do with Miracle and Jaemin. lol It's funny, the other day I got an email from a friend who wanted me to sign up for this 'follow your friends' thingy and it had to do with following your friends with their GPS. The first thing I thought of of course, was this story! lol I didn't know those things were real. lol

As LadyDe said: well worth the wait! Omg Sui! You made me cry and cry and cry!!!!! What a beautiful story and the epilogue was fantastic! I'm just so glad they worked out a way for them to be together. Well of course with Allegra's help. Even if Alexi made it much more complicated than it needed to be. Terrific story, Sui! I will definitely miss these two.

Sui!!! You updated!!! But is the next chapter the last? How sad...I really love these guys. =) It seems like Alexi and Josh are both caught between a rock and a hard place. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Alexi cannot possibly give up his family and his financial stability. I think it's horrible that his family would even think of doing this to him. I understand that he feels like his family is going to interfere with his relationship if Josh takes the job, but Josh is a grown man and I think he can handle it. And what's to say that if it just doesn't work out, he can't quit? I think Alexi needs to chill out a bit and let Josh decide what he wants to do. Of course all this is moot b/c you already completed the story. lol On to the last chapter. Sniff, sniff.

Omg, I can't believe Greg's back! He just thinks he can pick up the pieces when he just took off to marry Amy. What happened? Amy found out he's not straight? Poor girl. He probably broke her heart. Well, Greg has some competition now. I can understand Clinton's frustration with Corey, but honestly, I think Clinton was expecting way too much. He knows how Corey has been, nervous and unsure of himself. He wasn't thinking of how Corey would feel just whipping out a condom and some lube. He needs to take it slower than that! lol I was also thinking: I don't want Clinton to 'want' Corey only b/c he's the only gay boy he knows. Do you know what I mean? I want him to like Corey and want to be with him b/c he's Corey, not b/c he's the only other gay boy he knows. That's a horrible reason to get together with someone. I just want Clinton to be true to Corey. This was another great chapter, Krista! And thank you for updating so quickly!!!

Kitt, I'll be over in two hours - I love stuffed mushrooms. lol It's 6:25 p.m. on Wednesday. No school today. Been shoveling a lot. Now I have to think about dinner...

Well shit. Not a good sentence to greet someone with. Of course as clochette wrote, it could go either way; Trey's dad may be happy that his son is quitting the army, or he may be really angry. We'll have to wait and see. But he put poor Mark in a bad position now b/c now he's going to feel like he has to defend himself. Never a good thing. I really like Trey's mom; she's sweet and hopefully she can diffuse any tension that may arise. lol Great chapter, Renee!

Damn mom! lol The mental image of Eli's biker dad even 'tending to a wound', never mind putting a Winnie-the-Pooh bandaid on it is pretty funny! Another terrific chapter, Rob! Although, why did they have to order out? Did Noah bleed all over the veggies he was chopping? lol

Wow, Jay, that was really good. It gave me chills.

I see I missed a few chapters. This one was a tearjerker. My heart breaks for poor Tim. And Adam, he had to carry around that guilt for all these years.

I was holding my breath hoping that Will wouldn't just walk out and leave after Basil stopped what they were doing. Basil is being overly cautious, but he has reason to be; he has been left by countless guys who only wanted one thing. He doesn't want to be burned again. Will seems like the real deal though. Maybe Will shouldn't push Basil. I can imagine Basil must be terrified of being so close to someone that he likes so much. He's been w/o companionship for four years; I think that would scare anyone. Another great chapter, Louis!

ANYTHING by Abba!!! lol

Well, at least Andy came clean with his father. I certainly see Matt's pov, where he thinks Andy betrayed him. I'd feel the same way. Andy's dad was smart, calling Andy's bluff. Andy can't pull one over on him! lol I like that Matt is enjoying his grounding time and he's putting it to good use by reading and hanging out with his folks. I'm trying to think of all the stuff I'd get done if I was grounded from reading GA! lol I'd have time to clean, do the laundry, feed the kids, let the dog out...wow, it would really free up a lot of my time!

Louis, that was such a fantastic review! I couldn't agree more; "No Room at the Lodge" was a terrific story which could definitely be turned into multi-chapter story, as Addy said. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Jo Ann. =)

Wow, that fuzz thing is expensive! lol I clicked on it b/c I really had no idea what Nick was talking about! lol But I guess in the whole realm of how expensive electric guitars are, or even bass guitars, it's probablynot that expensive. So...I'm with Suvitar, not sure if I trust Stuart at all. Nick should have tried to fib his way out of that one. But I was confused as to why Stuart even grabbed Matt to dance. Stuart's straight, isn't he? I mean, not that straight dudes don't dance with other dudes, but it just doesn't seem to be something Stuart would do, you know? I thought Jason was cute. Maybe Zoe really likes both Jason and Richard. I remember from the original story that Jason seemed like he really liked Zoe when they first met. Funny scene at the dinner table. You always leave me wanting more, Thorn! =)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HX4SfnVlP4 Luke Bryan - "Country Girl Shake it for Me" - the best kickass country song ever. I look like such a dork when this comes on the radio and I'm in my car b/c I can't sit still. =) I tried to copy the video part from YouTube, but I have no clue how to do that. I clicked on 'copy URL' but when I tried to paste it in this post nothing happened. So yeah, I'm clueless about those things. But you guys should check it out - it's an awesome song.

I think Dr. Rasmus hit the nail on the head: Bernard has to love himself before he can expect anyone else to love him. Obviously he doesn't, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to end his life four times. Doc Jack is definitely helping Bernard just by talking to him and being nice and not judging him. I think once Bernard is able to lose some weight, he'll feel much better about himself.

Sam was cracking me up! He wanted big boobs so he could use them as a tray! lol Cute kid. I can't believe this gender clinic is so disorganized. I can't believe you have to go there to make an appointment! Why can't you just call up like any other place? So you travel God knows how long, make the appointment, travel all the way back home, only to come back again whenever the appointment is? What a hassle. I can imagine Oliver wants all of this done asap, right now. He doesn't want to wait any longer. He finally figured out who he is and he wants everything done right away. At least that's how I would be. I wouldn't want to wait at all. Now he could be waiting years before anything substantial is really done. The good thing is that he has a wonderful support system. He doesn't have to do this all alone. =) Another great chapter, James!

Billy!!!!!!!!!!! You're back!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know how JT did so well in the game: he pretended the football was the murdering bastards who took his folks away from him. Well, his father wasn't any great prize, but still, he was his dad. To learn that his mom was beheaded, that's just horrible. Poor kid. I think Andy and his dad are amazing to open up their hearts and their home to kids like JT and Cody. They are such warm and loving people. There's no way Judge Collins will win an election. lol Ok, just kidding. Hopefully warm and loving is the way to go. =) I hate the foreshadowing you have, Billy! Now I'm on pins and needles trying to figure out what other tragedy these boys are going to have to endure. Excellent chapter, Billy! I hope the next one won't take as long.....=)

You know how Rob's dad tried to beat the gay out of him? I'd like to beat the homophobia out of him! What an asinine, ignorant (ok, that's pretty much the same thing, lol), s.o.b. that guy is! And his WIFE!!! She would rather her husband beat their son to a pulp, then actually be a mother and help her son? What a witch! Poor Rob. Too bad he has to live there. He's working now. He should save up money and get the hell out of that house. He's nineteen. Wait, he's nineteen, he couldn't fight back? He couldn't fight his father? I look forward to the next update. =) Oh, I noticed you're not a big fan of punctuation. lol

Cassie! You did it again! My computer almost imploded from all the heat in your chapter! Mikeal's insecurities and anxieties regarding Adam's lack of a declaration of love are understandable. I think Adam, for a twenty-year old, is pretty smart and mature. Mikeal should feel happy that Adam isn't just throwing out I love you's just to placate him. Adam's also not saying that Mikeal's a 'convenient fling'; he has real feelings for him and he admitted he may love him a little and he can certainly see himself falling in love with him. Mikeal shouldn't rush this for Adam; Adam will only resent it if he keeps pushing him. Mikeal needs to drop the subject and stop mentioning it. As always, Cassie - wonderful chapter!

Wait, what? lol What just happened? Did Brian dream Luc? Did he dream Hil? I'm so confused... Will there be a chapter two? Shoot, I'm gonna Google Mesthap...whatever Hil's real name is! lol Maybe the answer is there. At any rate, I really enjoyed the story, Kitt!

Well, I knew right away when Will kept apologizing to Noah and the fact that he said he wanted to tell him but couldn't, that he had talked to Scott. Jason confirmed that feeling when he said that Noah was having a professional dilemma. Now I am so, so curious to find out what Scott could possibly sing besides, "I'm Sorry". (Isn't that an Elton John song? "Sorry seems to be the hardest words...", something like that?) I am actually shocked that Scott would come up on stage and sort of 'air their dirty laundry' for lack of a better term, for all to hear. It was bad enough that everyone knew about what he did to Noah and Noah's pain, but now he's going up there to sing something, after walking out on Noah and Zach w/o a word, and no contact for all this time, it just sounds odd. I would think Scott being the way he is, and with his history of his bouts of depression, and being sort of a private person, that he wouldn't do this in public. Unless he couldn't face Noah on his own. Maybe he thinks this is the only way to 'communicate' with Noah. Maybe he thinks that whatever song he sings will convey his feelings to Noah much better than if he spoke to him. I don't know. What I do know is that I NEED TO READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!!! NOW!!!! lol So I wait, on pins and needles, for the next update! Oh, and didn't Gilbert O'Sullivan originate "All by Myself" back in the 70's? I didn't even know Celine Dion did it. I don't even think I knew Eric Carmen did it. lol And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Avril Lavigne! Great chapter, Fitz!
