Soon We'll Be Found by Sia. Darn those waltzes, so easy to get stuck in my head!! lb.

Aye, I definitely need to work on my dialog. Eli tends to get caught in his head a lot (doubt is a major theme of the story), but I'll work on the chatting aspect some more. Ultimately, I wanted to turn this story into a comic/graphic novel, so a lot of dialog can lead to talking head syndrome, so I'm a little leery about it. Chapter 2 was actually 3 times larger, so I broke it into chunks. Editing chapter 3 now. Thanks for the review!

Heh, well it would have been up sooner had I hit the 'publish' button. Very noobish moment for myself but gotta start somewhere. Thank you for the review! The journey Eli and Chance are on will be pretty zany (I hope) and that shrew called Tiffany never quite goes away. More characters get introduced in the next couple chapters, many of them become the 'main cast'. I hope you like them! lb.

I remember other names I call him. Momo (spawning from Avatar: The Last Airbender), and the natural progression was Momobutt. I tend to make funny names up on the fly, some stick, others (thankfully) do not. Yumyum, Yumyumsauce, Monkeybutt, Lovey, Loveybutt. Yeah, I have the mental aptitude of a 5 year old. lb.

I would definitely consider myself gay, but there was this girl who was just absolutely striking to look at. I was heading from the train to the bus terminal when I spotted her and my head kept following her as my feet kept moving forward. I walk into a telephone pole. Not wanting to come across as a complete goof, I pretend it didn't happen, but my head was still turned to look at the girl and I kept walking. I walk into another telephone pole. The people at the bus stop just gawked at me. lb.

Archer Hairline for me! This was kinda nifty. lb.

Call and Answer by Bare Naked Ladies I think it's getting to the point where I can be myself again It's getting to the point where we have almost made amends I think it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part. And if you call, I will answer and if you fall, I'll pick you up and if you court this disaster I'll point you home I'll point you home You think I only think about you when we're both in the same room I'm only here to witness the remains of love exhumed You think we're here to play a game of who loves more than whom And if you call, I will answer and if you fall, I'll pick you up and if you court this disaster You think it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone It's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home I think it's time to make this something that is more than only fair So if you call, I will answer and if you fall, I'll pick you up and if you court this disaster I'll point you home. But I'm warning you, don't ever do those crazy, messed up things that you do If you ever do I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you Now it's time to prove that you've come back here To Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild ...

Questionable Content is pretty rad, as is Girls with Slingshots. There's definitely a lesbian-feel I get from reading both comics, and as a proud gay man, think is awesome. QC has strong leanings towards Indie Rock, but it got more serialized as it progressed. GWS is just funny. Almost inappropriately so. lb.

I am a horrible sleeper. Can't fall asleep fast enough, can't stay asleep and then I wake up early in the morning groggy as heck. Nothing really seems to help, so I feel for you! My weirdest out of body experience was when I was asleep and dreaming that I was sitting next to me, and my sleep version dream-me said, "You need to wake up now." And I did, wide awake and horrified. I hear mallets help, but I'm afraid of the bumps. lb.

Not a nude beach.

Beast with two backs, intercoursing (thank you 30Rock). I'm fond of the term 'making whoopie'. lb.

Chapter 2 Lifelines and Lovelines A year had passed since that fateful night at Drew’s. Chance and I grew tighter, forming bonds I didn’t think possible. He made the slow advances to move on with his life but would somehow never clear his head of Tiffany. We spent more time together, doing things to hopefully fill that void in his heart. I never told him what I saw, nor did he ever divulge what she told him that caused the breakup. The two seemed taboo and went unspoken. In the course of o

Eli is part of circle of friends whose lives are filled with unrequited love, first love-awkwardness and doubt. Can the second-love ever trump the first and is it ever fine to settle for what's convenient?

Chapter 1 - Chance "Eli, hurry up, the truck's all packed up," Mason called out. I heard his voice while I stood in the basement giving another look-over to make sure nothing was being left behind. It was hard to miss out I guess, the entire house was barren; everything that needed to be thrown out had, and everything I was taking with me had been neatly boxed up. All that was left were memories of my old home in DC. Family, friends, loved ones, each figure imprinted in the brickwork that sus

As dorky as it sounds, I call him Woobie. From Peanuts' Linus' security blanket. lb.

I've read this chapter a good 3 times, each time getting a little more than the time before. Can't put into words how much I loved this particular chapter only that after I read it the first time, I breathed, "FINALLY!" lb.

Another amazing chapter. I like reading out the dialog out loud because of how easily and believable it flows. Chapter 30 brought me to tears, Chapter 31 renewed my love for humanity. Kudos. lb.

I read It Started With Brian a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. Having been a fan of Crosscurrents, both stories seem very similar but totally different. I'm saddened by the authors passing but am wholly glad that you took the reigns and finished it for him. It speaks volumes to your character! Edit: I read the postscript while listening to Sara Bareilles "Gravity" and want to cry my eyes out. >.> That said, I'm really, really, really happy that you're writing more chapters for Crosscurrents. lb.

by Adele I pictured Matt singing this song to Andy. Even though it's a piano piece, I can see Matt changing it to have a guitar accompaniment. When the rain Is blowing in your face And the whole world Is on your case I could offer you A warm embrace To make you feel my love When the evening shadows And the stars appear And there is no one there To dry your tears I could hold you For a million years To make you feel my love I know you Haven't made Your mind up yet But I would never Do you wrong I've known it From the moment That we met No doubt in my mind Where you belong I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling Down the avenue No, there's nothing That I wouldn't do To make you feel my love The storms are raging On the rolling sea And on the highway of regret Though winds of change Are blowing wild and free You ain't seen nothing Like me yet I could make you happy Make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends Of the Earth for you To make you feel my love To make you feel my love lb.
