As long as there is no incest, I'm down.

I think "Jack" needs to be punished, Mark. In the worst way....*leers*

Thanks, Tiger!

"Creep" by TLC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0tNO3QFoOE -When Brian outs Matt, and people get heated trying to defend Matt to his homophobic parents. "They Don't Care About Us" by Micheal Jackson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vprA46Vf_WI -On the awkward drive back with his parents, when Matt splashes Brian with the puddle. "Karma Police" by Radiohead -When Jeanine gives Matt a talk about how important he's become to the Cramptons/Schluters, and then he gets comforted by Cole and Lou. "Stand By Me" by Oasis

Chapter 35 -When Matt comes in with Max, and meets Marcel and Lou, who promptly flirts with Matt under the table. "Strangelove" by Depeche Mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kurrDKqP3ak -When Matt and Lou hook up with each other, then Lou explains his philosphy towards relationships. "Pleasure Principle" by Janet Jackson -When Matt gets with Max again, then later picks up his parents at the airport in San Jose, who fret over the "gayapalooza". "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WbPlpRBl_Y -When Matt relates to Max the whole sordid ordeal with Brian and Cody, and Max relates to Matt his own relationship drama. "About A Girl" by Nirvana -When Max and Cody apparently get back together, then has a hook-up with Lou after dinner before taking a nap. "Orange Crush" by REM Okay, so I'm calling this my "retro" chapter, since all of the music from this came from the mid/late 80's instead of the mid/late 90's. My reasoning is that since Max, Marcel, and Lou feature heavily in this chapter, I should use the music from "their" era, so to speak. Plus I'm plain running out of songs from the 1996-1998 era to use as well. LOL.

I think the thing is, Marcel is kinda of this enigma. I think the major problem that existed with A Summer Love was that...even though he got his own story, I never really felt like I got to know Marcel. Something about Marcel seems opaque and held back, like we'll never get to know all of him. And yeah, Max and Marcel just never quite fit together as well as couples like Jeff/JP, or Stefan/JP, or Brad/Robbie.

Well, Nico's 22nd birthday won't be until July, so we have at least eight more months or so to enjoy his firm ass. I love this guy's eyes. And I bet his hair feels great to the touch. I'm a sucker for a guy with a great head of hair.

So right now, I'm at this glass-half-full deal when it comes to school. I'm a history major. I'm taking two 300-level history classes. They're both going really good- I'm earning an A in one, and an A- in the other. The problem is that my foreign language class, I'm pulling somewhere around a D, and in my geology class, I majorly bombed the second exam, which was worth 25 percent. Luckily, I did fine on the first exam, and the final is worth 50 percent, so I can probably do well. Still, it's a lot of pressure to deal with. I want to end the semester with over a 2.5 in an acculmulative GPA, and I'm not sure anymore if that will happen. So that's stressful. I guess I'll just have to remember my buddy Steve, and how he told me he will kick my ass if I don't graduate with him in the spring.

Mark, think like JP Crampton. He'd know of how to deal with this "John" guy.

To be honest, I'm not really surprised that Marcel and Max didn't work out.

"Here We Go" by Nsync http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm-pgSF7MaM

It's weird how by posting that picture, I brought that memory back. LOL.

Evan Wadle. Hell, yes. I like that Evan's beefiness contrasts with the leaness of Nico's lithe body. Contrasts are always good. LOL.

Chapter 33 -When Matt and Wade get into some little tiff about something stupid, and then Matt muses about Wade, about John Carullo, and about Cody. "All Mixed Up" by 311 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mtbdk7f8JM -When Matt goes to the gym to work off his aggression, and winds up blowing Gillespie in the locker room. "Outside" by George Michael -At the party, when Gilchrist punches Matt in the jaw, and Carullo comes to his rescue. "People of the Sun" by Rage Against the Machine -When Matt and Wade have good make-up sex, and then Wade tells him some more about his family. "Crash into Me" by Dave Matthews Band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ_Nf7yGxbc

Not a bad-looking guy, but.... 1. Wade is 18. This guy looks like he's 30 at the very least. 2. Wade has to have this refined, blue-blood look, yet also be someone who you could imagine kicking back at a party and smoking a joint. This model doesn't have that. But hey, you're entitled to your opinion. I think Nico Tortorella fit the image of Wade, and I went with it. We chose him awhile back, and it's actually influenced some descriptions of him in later chapters- such as the little flat part of Wade's nose that Matt likes.

Well, you know what they say, different strokes for different folks. I'm glad I have one less to share him with. *wink*

Yeah, Arbour, thanks. Although he's a SOUTHERN blue-blood, not a Northern blue-blood, so he's probably not too pasty. Especially during the summer.

The part of Wade Danfield will be played by actor/model Nico Tortorella. Here are some pics of him- http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/lb/celebrities_outside_the_gramercy_hotel_220509/nico_tortorella_5300360.jpg (on the right) http://images.buddytv.com/battleImages/usr600028052/600028052_54b5a0d5-75f2-468c-8306-a31120f639d0-nico-tortorella.jpg http://www.zap2it.com/media/photo/2009-08/48441568.jpg http://images.buddytv.com/usrimages/usr29547/29547_725fd820-44d8-4914-9e19-68a48cdaffc4-nico-tbl.jpg I love this guy's face. I like how he's got this quality of seeming like someone who could be dressed up and look right at home in a formal function, yet you could also imagine kicking back with him at a party and smoking a joint.

Chapter 32 -At Santa Cruz, where they make love. "As Long As You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys http://www.youtube.c...h?v=8o-i1exXUO0 -When Matt and Wade discuss safe sex, and set up boundaries for their relationship.

"Swallowed" by Bush http://www.youtube.c...h?v=xhGUTu8Q4os **** I really, really, REALLY wanted to use "My Own Worst Enemy" for the Halloween party scene, but then I checked and found out it wasn't released until March 1999. So I can't use it. Damn it. I hope "Inside Out" was a proper sub for it.

Wade promptly freaks out. "Down" by 311 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzqLWPWbixs -When Matt and Cole talk about how he's going to be living with the Cramptons. "Closer to Free" by the Bodeans -When Matt and Cody talk on the phone, and Cody tells him that him and Brian are truly toast. "Roll to Me" by Del Amitri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpBmOtc4Ux8 *** Mark, Star Wars was so 70's. When I think of 90's arcades, I'm going to think about Grand Theft Auto and Mortal Kombat.

Happy birthday!
