Thank you so much!

We all know that? 😈

I love it when I get cherry posts! Thanks Sam!

So you can find out about everything? LMAO. Like I'd wrap things up that quickly. 🙂 A red herring. Hmmm...... LMAO. That's priceless. Will's like the lawyer teenagers should call when they really want to fuck with their parents. 🙂

February 21, 2004 Santa Cruz, CA Will “I am so glad you know how to cook,” I said to Jake. He had just finished putting together a decent breakfast for all of us. Of course, they’d smirked when Bongo came out of my room with me, but they were cool enough to make sure he didn’t notice. “Good thing, otherwise we’d starve,” Jake said. “Probably,” I agreed. “I’m planning to have a party tonight.” I had thought about phrasing it as a question, but that imp

February 20, 2004 Santa Cruz, CA Will “This place is awesome,” I said, as we sat at a table looking out at the fog-covered ocean. The sight and muffled sounds of waves crashing on the rocks gave the scene a foreboding beauty. “Even if the food is crappy, the views are worth it,” Dad said, then chuckled. “It would be really romantic if Will weren’t with us,” he said to Jake. “I’m glad Will is with us,” Jake said, and smiled at me. I gave Dad a smarmy loo

Actually, you are all wrong (except Mike). Brad was the one who put the sledgehammer through the windshield of the Ferrari in the garage in Malibu (Millennium). Will etched the words "asshole", "douche", "bitch", and "pussy" in acid on Robbie's Ferrari and Brad's Porsche in Paternity. As Mike noted, both incidents happened in the sanctity of the Malibu garage.

I think it's inaccurate to call Susannah his fag hag. JJ's sexuality appears to be bisexual at this point. But I think you're totally on track by noting their immaturity. As I wrote the stuff on AbFab, I had Stef's reaction: I love the show but they would have bugged the shit out of me. You make some great points about JJ, but I'd disagree with your societal comments. JJ isn't trying to break into the New York society group (he's not looking for Mrs. Astor) but he's chasing the elite jet-setter and fashion group. He definitely has the pedigree for that.

February 19, 2004 Santa Cruz, CA Brad I sat on my bed, thinking of how badly I’d fucked up my life, but I couldn’t even do that right. My mind was flying from one thing to the next, while my body was exhausted. I took off my clothes and put on a robe, then paused to study the walls. It almost seemed like they were moving. Maybe we had a small earthquake or something. I got a lot of shit from my family for being a control

May 22, 1801 HMS Calliope The Baltic Sea Granger stood in his chart room, staring at the poor schematic of the Gulf of Finland, wondering if these were the only charts available or if Smythe had been frugal when stocking maps for his deployment. Based on Smythe’s focus on making Calliope comfortable, he suspected it was the latter. The only useful piece of information he derived from it was that their location was some five miles south of Russaro, a Finnish island in

February 19, 2004 Santa Cruz, CA Will “I told you, even before we got serious, that I needed my independence,” Jake said defiantly. “So that means you can just pick up and leave me?” Dad asked. “I can’t see where you being on active military service was part of the deal.” “No, what I thought would happen is that you would realize how important this was to me, the ability to clear my name, and you’d support me,” Jake said. “Dude, you both bring ba

February 19, 2004 Santa Cruz, CA Will “Divorced?” I asked him stunned. “You haven’t even been married for three months.” He gave me a foul look for pointing that out. “It just didn’t work out,” he said, like that was enough. “What happened?” I demanded. “Something had to trigger this.” “I don’t have to talk about this if I don’t want to,” he said, trying to browbeat me, but instead sounding like he was 12. That he had shifted from being relativ

Not at all. Darius seems more than happy to keep his family at arm's length and has limited use for their drama (unless he creates it). He'll hear about this, and maybe tease Brad in a snarky way, then let it die. You forget what a gossipy bunch they are. In the end, they rarely end up keeping secrets from each other for long. None of them can keep their mouth's shut (both to things leaving and entering). JP would say nothing at this point, but he will know, and he will, in his own way, hold it over Brad's head, most likely in the event Brad tries to claim some level of moral or experiential superiority.

There is no way that Stefan, JP, Will, or Brad decide to move to Texas or Arizona. First of all, a lot of people who made that move did so because of the cost of living. I doubt that will be a problem. More importantly, I cannot see any of them living in a 'red' state. I think if they moved away from California, it would only be temporary, and I think they'd be more likely to go to a different country than a different state. But then again, who knows...

February 19, 2004 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will My big objective for this afternoon was to take Psyche on a long ride, and I’d managed to achieve that goal. She’d been so excited to see me she’d been stomping and jumping in her stall just like a puppy. I’d pretty much let her set the pace on this outing, and she was in a mood to run, so she did. She’d been tearing across the open land when I pulled on the rei

February 19, 2004 New York City Will “Too bad you can’t stay longer,” Patrick said as I stood in front of his mirror getting my appearance in order. “I think we should both be happy that I made it down here yesterday and we had last night together,” I said in a fake bitchy way. Stef had called me yesterday and told me he was leaving New York this morning in case I wanted to fly back with him. I’d been so done with Boston, since after I’d bought that stock in F

Jorge fucked Will during the Goodwell invasion, right before Will fucked Alex.

There is no fast track to admirals rank. It’s solely based on seniority.
-
At the angel stage, financials are relatively unimportant. What is important is having good leadership and a good product. Will understand this, having been around VC funding his entire life, and he's trusting his instincts, something he undoubtedly learned from Stef.

I think it will be even funnier to see Brad's reaction when his son ends up richer than he is.

Peter Thiel is an asshole, but as Canuk points out, he wasn't always as bad as he is now. I suspect Will's attitude will change towards him, especially around 2016.

February 17, 2004 Boston, MA Will I walked into the kitchen, hoping that I could scam a late lunch, and hoping I could warm up quickly after my frigid outing. It was one o’clock and I’d spent the morning wandering around campus, getting my bearings for fall when Harvard would be my home. “You are back!” Rosa said and gave me a big hug. It was so awesome to spend time with her. JJ never talked about her, probably because he

I don't see JJ spending much time with the artist community unless they're rich artists. He's enjoying taking his place among the New York elite, and he's not about to sacrifice that to go hang out with Bohemians. He's too much of a snob for that. I think having Susannah around will just exacerbate that.
