    Chapter 8

    @Summerabbacat, despite the ridiculous outfit - only Benny looks "respectable" in this video LOL - I am gaining a new appreciation for Bjorn. Like Benny, he has a great smile, and as my "friends" have told me, I've always been a sucker for a smile (do I detect some Freudian innuendo here???).
  2. Maybe, but you're still lovable @Summerabbacat LOL
  3. Once again, this is new ABBA territory for me @Summerabbacat. So I looked it up - by the time of Visitors' release, I had returned to the States from the UK already, and ABBA was, for me, proved to be part of my UK experience. It must have disappeared from my radio. (I should have stayed in the UK for so many reasons). A missing chunk from my past has been restored...

    Chapter Twenty-two

    Absolutely haunting. Another new one for me. I am indebted.

    Chapter Twenty-one

    Bjorn? Bearded? That's quite becoming! But then, I'm quite partial to facial hair - always have been - and since my BF is East Asian, it's in short supply around here. So I make up for it by growing a thin facial "collier" which is barely visible, now that I've gone all white (I hope the preceding doesn't qualify as TMI).

    Chapter Twenty-one

    That's an understatement! But where is Bjorn? Do my eyes fail me?

    Chapter Twenty

    If @drsawzall says everthing is gonna be alright, I have confidence that all will turn out well in the end ... eh?

    Chapter Twenty

    Actually, I hadn't forgotten, but decided that Barrett was star of the show in this chapter. Speaking of the star, Bjorn looked particularly fetching on this video. WOOF! This, by the way @Summerabbacat - is another part of my musical education: never heard this one. Sounds more naughty than what I might have expected from the likes of ABBA 🙂

    Chapter Twenty

    I was curious how you were going to tie the plot to a musical theme, @Summerabbacat, because I was fixated on Barrett's first bj ... I guess you can see where my mind has been lately "blush"

    Chapter Nineteen

    This is an awesome (sorry for an overused cliche) piece of art I had never heard before. Once again my musical horizons have been expanded. Thank you @Summerabbacat! As for our story: if Todd comes back in after exiting the restaurant, the lyrics would be all the more appropriate. However, if Todd knuckles under to his father, I'll lose a lot of respect for him. To paraphrase a well-known passage of scripture, we are to grow up and "cleave" to our spouse (isn't the Authorized Version delightfully quaint?) when it comes time to leave the nest. I hope Todd realizes his future lies with Barrett (or the spouse of his choosing), and not with Daddy Dearest.

    Chapter Eighteen

    What surprised me was the fact that Anthony was even there while Barrett and Todd were in the next room going at it. The scene reminded me of when I was deflowered (the condom was an electric shade of yellow LOL). I had happily forgotten all about Anthony. I guess I just don't care for him all that much.

    Who said I was thinking? I'm too busy swooning...

    Chapter Seventeen

    I don't think ANYONE is near as good as ABBA *swoon*

    Chapter Seventeen

    Just as I have a "new" appreciation for Bjorn (I've always loved that name anyways). Feel free, @Summerabbacat, to make your confessions with me anytime LOL. Absolution, anyone? It's good for the soul 🙂

    Chapter Seventeen

    Once again, this is a new one for me. Bjorn's lookin' mighty fine, but that bowtie on Benny just blew me away! I have a few bowties in my own collection of neck-wear. Haven't worn any in a long time, but maybe it's time to drag them out into the light of day. Hot!

    Chapter Sixteen

    I grew up in a French dominant household, though I myself am English dominant. My mother was born and grew up in northern France, not too far from Paris, where my relatives live; they are French-only speakers. As a kid I used to feel a bit confused as to what side of the Atlantic I belonged on, but I guess I have finally sorted it out 😉

    Chapter Sixteen

    I have yet to "meet" an ABBA song I haven't liked @Summerabbacat ... and this is one of the better ones. One of the things that amazes me is the thoroughly idiomatic command ABBA has of English - and I say that as a bilingual myself.

    Chapter Fifteen

    Ohh Emm Eff Gee: a slimmed down Benny! I'm in Lust all over again! Bjorn ain't so bad either! And did you catch the Swedish decor on the guitar @drsawzall? Zounds!

    Chapter Fifteen

    It's because I never win trivia contests - and that young Brit really had my juices going. I'm not a hottie or a Catch, so I notice these things LOL

    Chapter Fifteen

    @Summerabbacat I'm coming up a cropper, as they say. Normally I'd say my mind was playing tricks on me, but I remember the "incident" as plain as day. Stay tuned?
  21. Tris

    Chapter Fifteen

    I'm trying desperately to remember LOL. Lemme ferret around...

    Chapter Fifteen

    You've expanded my musical horizons! I'd never heard of it before today - Thanks @Summerabbacat

    Chapter Fifteen

    Yes, Troublemaker seems to have hit gayauthors popularity big time! Kudos to @Superpride ... and thank you, @Summerabbacat for (inadvertently?) picking one of my favorite ABBA hits - a favorite for an odd reason. During a trivia quiz, I got a prize (consisting of bragging rights, only) of knowing which ABBA song mentions a major city in the UK. It's not the only ABBA trivia question I got right, because I also knew which song featured only Bjorn and Benny on vocals. That caught the eye of a hot young Brit less than half my age who wanted to talk to me, but his BF (who was giving me dagger eyes) wouldn't let him, dragging my Admirer away, off the dance floor - alas! Ah, the memories!

    Chapter Fourteen

    This "business" with Dillon I find increasingly disturbing, just like @Cane23 and @Summerabbacat. Troublemakers abound. For what it's worth, "Honey Honey" came out just a couple of years before I moved to the UK, which is where I discovered ABBA (lucky me!) Thanks for the video clip, @Summerabbacat ol' buddy ol' pal.

    Chapter Thirteen

    Even before I got to the end of the chapter, I was trying to anticipate what @Summerabbacat was gonna give us in terms of ABBA. To be sure, I almost never take novocaine (one exception - a root canal) ... though if I ever have a vasectomy, I'd probably go for some valium.
