Thanks for the comments Jess.
I think it's common for the lack of memory of a traumatic event, but it's usually temporary. We'll see if it starts returning, maybe in pieces.
The cover-up will be a problem. It'll never completely work, but after a month or so passes, it'll be old news...or so they hope.
Thanks for the review Parker!
David IS in a bit of turmoil right now, more so than his usual , especially with the growing Matty connection - not just the fantasy, we'll hope DR K. can help.
I hope David doesn't break Twoey's heart, but It's a good guess he'll put pressure on it. Of course, in a way, Twoey is doing it to David TOO. It'll be interesting, anyway.
Haha ...no worries CG, I don't think David is ready for sex with ANYBODY yet!
The room worry is valid. Who could be in his room and why?
Yep, and there's Matty again.
He's started to worm his way into David's life. Remember when we were introduced to him with Twoey's famous line, "Matty Too?"
Haha ...I'm glad I found this little gem!
I'm not normally a 'cat' person Val, being a dragon and all, but this was such a darling little story, and so well told.
Thanks for sharing!
Our heart and mind will always trump our will.
“You’ve done it with her, haven’t you.”
“What?”
“That’s why you’re kissing her in class, isn’t it? You’re marking your territory.”
“Gary, you’re watching too many chick flicks.”
“You can tell me. I’m your best friend.”
“I know. OK, here it is ...I’m telling you: I haven’t even come close to doing it with Kathy.”
“Really?”
“Really. Best friend to best friend.”
“Well, best friend to best friend, you suck at boyfriendism.”
“Gary, that’s no
Thanks for you comments Valkyrie!
I think you have Erik pretty well figured out.
Yep. David's cluelessness. You will be pulling your hair out because he keeps getting close to figuring things out when he's suddenly hit with something from left field. We'll go through periods of frustration, hope and pity. Are you sure you want to keep going?
Thanks Valkyrie!
Oh, if it only were Erik in the Buick. We'd feel better.
It does seem Twoey is only a new toy for Erik, which might prove unfortunate.
Thanks for soldiering along jess!! (and for sprinkling in some comments).
You haven't missed anything about the deadline. It hasn't been issued yet ...we will be surprised by whom!
Let's see: 122 - 37 = yep, lots to go
Oh dear! Nicknames. Don't get me started!
I'm happy you found this and are enjoying it so far. Warning: it becomes hopelessly convoluted, but by that, we learn a lot about our friends in this little town
Thanks again Valkyrie, for the comments!
Eyes
Eyes opened, joined it seems
unmistaken of what flows through.
I, then He realize.
He, then I recognize
neither can forestall this certain new
element in our dreams.
I, not He drown mid streams
of tears shed for fear become true.
He, not I closed our eyes.
Hmmm ...I'm late to this tim.
I don't share the opinion of any of the previous reviewers. I guess that makes me wrong. But hey! You can't be wrong about interpreting poetry, because poetry speaks inside you, no matter what the poet may have had in mind. Do I make sense?
OK, time for the dragon to stick out his neck. This is the same poem. It is two sides of the same coin. The change of font is significant in reinforcing my belief. It is beautifully crafted and eloquently described, but it describes the same thing. To me. Anyway.
Thanks tim
Thank you for the welcoming review, AC!
A very interesting comment on the lovemaking scene. We're not quite sure what to make of that, since we only have Toph's POV. This will be our (as readers) weakness throughout the story. Probably something to keep in mind.
Your fourth paragraph comment is insightful too. Toph needs to be freed from the straitjacket of his Euphoria to be able to stretch into what I'm sure he's capable.
Ha! I guess it was a day of surprises.
CG, your description of the attic prowling was so realistic, I could feel the heat and understand the erratic search pattern ...hehe. Mike resembling Brad Majors was a surprise. You always picture characters in your mind ...that was not my picture! The older boys seem to be a great couple for Jay and Miles to have stumbled across.
Nice chapter CG.
The nice thing about usually being first, is I get to say whatever i want without seeming to hitch onto everybody else. The terrible thing about reviewing so late, it everybody's said it all. Great day for me to be absent. OK enough ranting.
I was surprised Andy attended classes, but was happy he did. No surprise he stayed away from the friends ...not at all. I was worried he might try to shovel during the middle of the storm. No one with snow sense would bother until after it was over. But obviously Andy didn't have that. I hope he survives, but the way the story begins, it leaves this wish open to conjecture.
Well put together Parker. Nicely done!
Thanks for the kind review Parker!
This, of course, only showed us Toph as he was in the prison (his mind) of Euphoria. It will be interesting to see if a new Toph emerges.
Yes, a super chapter W_L !
Victory and Failure so near each other ...not to mention the loose little Jesse cannon.
Very entertaining. Can't wait for more!
