Interesting start, nerdy! I'm looking forward to reading more.

Wow, that gave me chills. It was a very powerful poem, crusader. So, so sad. I was a little confused since this is the only chapter and the date on it said August.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARK !!! I hope you're having a wonderful b-day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUI !!!!! I hope you have a fantastic b-day, Sui!

Ah, that was so my bad with the Mark/Eric mix-up! I thought I caught them all too!! Sorry, Addy! Yes, and how clueless is Jonah? I mean, c'mon! When Ren looks at him strangely and asks him if he knows what his name means, that was a HUGE hint!!! lol I thought Ren was wonderful in this chapter. He really proved how much he likes Jonah. After all, how many people would go to the trouble of riding someone's bike home, bringing them breakfast and then figuring out a way to get back home? lol PLUS, he has a sense of humor! Enemy, lol! Can I borrow that? I'll change db to Enemy! lol Great chapter, Addy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GHOST!!! I hope you're having a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!!! I hope you're having an awesome day!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXX!!! I hope you're having a great day!

Wow, I can't believe nobody reviewed this. I think this is better than the two before it. It really made me sad. I can feel for both the narrator and the person he wants to touch. I'm just like the person he's in bed with; I want my own space in the bed. But I can also relate to the narrator because it is nice to be able to reach out and touch your loved one (even if for just a little while). I hope he was able to satisfy his craving. =) Terrific poem, Thorn. You really have a way with words.

Wow, that gave me chills. At first I thought the narrator was talking to somebody in his house or apartment. I didn't realize he was talking to a homeless person in the street. I found this to be a very powerful poem - a very powerful thorny poem!

Love your thorny poetry, Thorn! lol I really enjoyed this poem b/c I am a lover of books also. Maybe not the books you love (Shakespeare, Ibsen, etc.), but books nonetheless. =) And my absolute favorite thing to do is read. You will never find me without something to read, even if it's just my phone. lol Ok, on to the next poetry reading...

I didn't realize that Bill had started this Happy B-day thread...so now everyone can wish you a happy b-day twice! lol Hope you're having an awesome day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSTLE !!! I hope you're having a great day!!

Owl!!!!!! I finally read the chapter!! Yay me!! lol Like central Texas' hairy sub above, I had to reread the Valentine's Day chapter to re-familiarize with what had happened previously. I can't believe that dirtbag Tim works at that hotel! Of all the hotels in the area, he had to be working at that one! I was so proud of Max for sticking up for himself and defending himself. He shouldn't let what that asshole said get to him. He was trying to provoke Max, trying to rile him up. It was good Max walked away from him (after pinning him to the wall and practically choking him to death - yay Max!!! ), and not got wrapped up in getting into a yelling match with him. I think he should tell his mom though and they should hightail it the hell outta there! There are plenty of other hotels they can go to; they shouldn't stay in that one. Excellent chapter, Owl!! Hoping the next one won't be next year!! Just kidding! The chapters and Indiana Summer chapters are well worth the wait. And did you check out the video one of your reviewers posted in his review for Indiana Summer? I definitely think the main guy, Mark, could also be Max or Josh. What a cutie! lol

What a great chapter, Sasha! What a pleasure to read about Kier and Sparrow getting along! I'm sure that Kier falls more in love with Robin when he sees Robin playing with his dogs. There's nothing greater than having your b/f or g/f hanging out with your kids or your pets. The wedding seemed great except there was one minor itsy, bitsy problem - named BECCA!!!!! How the hell does she get off talking to Kieran that way????? She is such a BITCH!! What does Shastan even SEE in her? I'd like to join your GUOR group and bitch-slap her myself!!!

This whole thing is weighing very heavily on Matt's mind. He's having trouble focusing and that's not good. Emily is a smart girl and she's figuring out their secret, well, Andy's secret. Nobody believes Matt would have the same secret. I'm looking forward to the party. It's not sitting well with me; I sense trouble in the air. lol

Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, turning down good money just b/c Ren recommended you is not good! Now he's letting his personal feelings get in the way of business. I love the roses Ren put on Jonah's handlebars - so romantic 'run, baby, run...' He'll find him anyway. lol Great chapter, Addy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MJ!!! I hope you're having a terrific b-day!

I like it! It seems that Sky may be bi also. Lol, Sky and Ky may be bi. Anyway...Sky should really tell Kyle his feelings - they are best friends, after all, and he already knows Kyle likes him. At least I would think he would have figured it out by now. lol

I like these two! I'm glad you went for the challenge.

What a shit Eric is! He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Poor Jonah. It takes quite awhile to get over something like that. And then to have to see Chris and Eric all lovey-dovey. Ugh. Even though they broke up however long it was, still, Chris should know better. Don't bring your new b/f who is the ex b/f of your very good friend. No bro-code for them? lol (I think I wrote that in the last review, I can't remember! lol) Great chapter, Addy!

Sui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (haha, count all THOSE! lol) I absolutely LOVED this story!!! I'm so happy J&T got their happily ever after! Now Toshi can spend time with his husband and his parents and know what real family is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOUDINII !!! I hope you're having an awesome b-day!

I think I like this chapter better than the last one. The way Kier is with Robin now is so sweet. The way his stomach flutters and his heart beats faster when Robin's around or the way Robin looks at him is definitely more than just lust. He's really falling for little Sparrow. So was Shastan's punch for Kier not telling him he decided to go back to racing or for deciding this w/o talking to him about it? Or both? But now how does he feel? I suppose he knows that he can't stop Kier but it would still be nice for Kier if he had his cousin's approval. Although I know how Shastan feels; I'd feel the same exact way. But I'm a worrier. I loved this chapter, Sasha!
