Philistine

IS UP! and also, i like the new banners. they are teh pretties.

yeah, but i don't think it's quite the being stabbed in the back, twisting the knife to-and-fro as dom's tend to feel.

i can't believe i caught it first. lucky me. this was such a good chapter. i sooo can't wait for the next chapter now. here i am, up at 5 in the morning to read a dk story when i should be writing a 10-page essay. oh well.

THANK YOU! i've been trying to remember that show for the longest time. okay, sorry. i'm random.

i think i would've eaten the cookies anyway. and for battlestar galactica, you have to start at the beginning. i remember trying to watch the first couple episodes before the 3-hour mini-series and being totally confused. i totally love it now, of course. if you did start at the beginning and are confuddled...well, i don't know what to say about that.

first of all, you're a terribly evil child (i just read ch. 35). and i've got about 2 months on you, so i'll call you child if i please. second, i'm glad you've stopped thinking about putting the puppy down. i couldn't even imagine putting down a pet. my horrible mother always took pets away from me before i could have them long enough for it to be an issue, but if she hadn't, i wouldn't have. it's...it's not a good thing at all. i wish you great happiness with the puppy for quite some time.

that's not fair, either! i'm waiting on your stuff, too! EVILEVILEVILEVILEVILEVIL!!! i think i'm going to go cry now.

frick. okay, first time i had actual tears in my eyes from reading this story. eddie asking him to stay. i just felt so much for him. i swear. not fair. edit: i'm also really starting to be able to focus on the major issues of the story, rather than the whole r-s versus r-l debate. it just occured to me that i don't really care about that any more. i just want to see everyone reasonably happy in the end, regardless of who ends up with or doesn't end up with whom.

oh man, reallyreallyreally looking forward to the next one!

that was my exact thought the moment they started the trip. it felt so non-event after people had made such a big deal about it. i should stop listening to you people. you get excited over nothing. but this whole grandma alice thing. veeery interesting. i knew something was up when she called and wasn't getting through, but i thought she was dying or something. *shrug*

you say that like lots of people hadn't predicted it 10 chapters ago. you were there. we were there. it was coming. everyone should've seen it. i mean, the gay guy falling in love with his straight best friend is practically a cliche. unfortunately my best friend is a nut job, so that's never happened for me.

you know, it really shouldn't count when the chapter isn't actually up yet.

i'm so glad i thought to check today. damn, that was good. but argh, now i'm desperate to find out what happens. dammit, you're learning these evil tactics from dom, aren't you?! >_<

damn, i was seriously on the verge of tears. so...yeah. just yeah. flashbacks make for the sadness. EDIT: actually, i think i would have cried, only i had to leave halfway through. i think that gave me time to cool down. perfect chapter. seriously.

hmmm, what dictionary are you using? mine doesn't say that. whore: PROSTITUTE =>>> prostitute n: one who engages in sexual activities for money *tries to remember if rory ever accepted money for sexual activities*

f**k buddy (FB) <<=a friend who you also fool around with, or possibly a person who you have sex with semi-regularly without the assumption of a deeper relationship (though i'm sure other people have other thoughts on this) and i agree with you totally, AFriendlyFace. well said.

yeah, and that's the past. this is now. that was then. but fine, n_p. you explain why he wasn't immensely turned on by luke kissing him, then.

maybe luke isn't actually in "like" with rory. this seems like a possibility that simply doesn't occur to the minds of the LRITEs. i mean, all things being equal, there's nothing but circumstantial evidence to support that. even i (a great supporter of seth + rory) remained open to the possibility that luke had a chance. i let go of this after several chapters without what i felt was sufficient reasoning in the face of all the building evidence that seth and rory would be together. and his dick works fine, if you recall his reaction to seeing seth in a towel. it's just not polarized towards luke.

i don't have time for a full response, since i'm late for class due to reading this chapter, but VINDICATION!!!

what theory? i didn't present anything. i was just poking holes in someone else's logic. and as far as not sharing who you have a crush on...if any friend of mine would terminate a friendship with me based on my not immediately sharing any and all information about who i've had a crush on and when, that friendship would be over. it's an unrealistic expectation to say the least. who he has feelings for is his business alone. rory had the right to be mad about them concealing their sexual orientations and relationships with each other. yes. but this isn't dishonesty. luke admitted he liked someone, and it's his right not to have to share anything beyond that. why would not sharing endanger their friendship? and have you ever had a crush on a friend? cuz in my experiences, it's pretty embarrassing. and (if he does like dave, which i'm not saying is definitely so) maybe he doesn't want to seem like the pathetic gay boy who's obsessed with a straight guy he can't have.

first off, i was joking. second, i wasn't even taking either side. it doesn't make any difference to me whether or not dom edits his past work, since i don't reread stories. when i said "i still love it", i was referring to dk's story (dk as in "not dom"). before singling me out for something, you should read more carefully.

i still love it! ahem, but back to dom. i'm an edit-crazy person when it comes right down to it. i can't write anything without editting it like 50 times...per chapter, so i totally understand going back and wanting to fix mistakes. though personally, i can't go back and reread it all to see it improved. in my eyes you're bettering it for the newest fans who've seen nothing yet. and they're worth it, i'm sure. everyone else can shut up about it, cuz they're not the author.

that was actually the exact same conclusion i came to. not the appeasement, but that it was like a way of closing the possibility of a relationship. it was sweet, like something a friend would do, but it didn't feel romantic in the least. *shrug*
