Now I'm getting hilarious mental images of you lying on your back and just spitting straight up in the air only to have it come splatter back down on you. Practice makes perfect! How would getting it in your eye NOT sting? Dude, you get eyelashes in your eye and it's like excruciating pain, so imagine something like (totally just typed lime instead of like, I'm stellar) saliva getting in your eye- it just sounds painful. :S

Ooh. I've never seen Doctor Who. But! His TARDIS machine sounds awesome; I'm moving in.

Haha, awwh. Why?! I never got into Fleetwood Mac, but I do enjoy some Phil Collins. :)

Don't worry. I took like a three/four month hiatus from my story. I'll still read whenever you post.

Bahaha! Feel your pain, man. I looked up ancient Pinto models for Tre's car for nearly an hour before I realized that no one really cared. I also looked up apartment layouts and I googled newspaper headlines from '93 just so David's paper could be realistic. I think I have a problem.

And now I must be off to work. :( But then I get to go out afterwards, so :)

The mental image of him doing that is actually hilarious. I'm just so graceful that I'd attempt to do it and end up spitting in my eye. Then I'd be on the floor, screaming and writhing about because my eye would be stinging and that's just how it goes.

... is it bad that I have no idea what a TARDIS is? :S

Haha, I was totally sitting here going, like, I thought she said something about her parents still being together... but then I couldn't remember and I didn't want to make any assumptions. But I'm glad that he's still around. /awkward sentencing.

Yeeeaah. My mom listens to like Susan Boyle. Or Cat Stevens (who, to this day, I still detest because she made me listen to him in the car nonstop growing up). But bright side, she introduced me to Michael Jackson and Phil Collins, so I guess the Cat Stevens thing is forgivable.

Ahh okay good. I'm glad she gets awesome again. I hate when the OFC's best friend is stupidly annoying. All I can think about is Mean Girls, haha.

Yesss:) I overthink the simplest things because I'm a sucker for things like that. I overthink and then stress out and worry that people will catch things like that when they most likely won't. :|

Stupid comment box cut me off. I didn't even write that much! Actually I did, but whatever. Damn rules.

ANYWAY. What better way to do so than make her comfortable enough to take food off their table without even asking? And I mean, it's not like I could make her make, like, a bagel or a bowl of cereal or something. They weren't convenient enough, haha.

I like how I'm overthinking this completely....

Haha, I'm constantly lamenting the fact that I wasn't born earlier. It amuses my mom so much- she maintains that there is no way I'd be into the same music that I'm into now and I'm convinced that I would. My friend saw Green Day back when they were playing to like 20 people and it cost him five bucks to get in to see them. I just... dude, I'd have been right there with him.

I also feel like you make an amazing case for being born then. It's settled then. I'm off to find my flux capacitor... /BTF nerd. :)

BAHA. That is actually epic. I'd probably just blush furiously if Tre Cool winked at me and then try desperately to control my squealing until I was safe in my car... or just far away from him, haha.

Ooh ouch. That's horrid. He really thought that that was going to work? Christ.

Ahh yes, pride. I'm really not sure if my mom would be okay with it or if it's just another thing that she'd think is weird about me. Honestly, I genuinely think I could pass Billie Joe off as an original character-- she doesn't know any better. She'd just freak out because of the swearing and the drugs and the sex because she's a bit of a Jesus freak. :|

Errm Tracy. I dunno. She just... it depends. When she's with Jean, I totally don't mind her. But this past chapter, it was like ahh. Like I said, she reminds me a lot of my best friend, how she's always teasing me about someone I like. And that irritates me to no end. It's like we're not in middle school- don't make a big deal about it. Does that make any sense? Haha.

I'm not even kidding you! I was reading it and I just bust out laughing. My dad was watching TV next to me and he kept giving me these strange looks. Totally worth it, in my opinion.

Aaaaaand no problem about the plug. I really, really like your story and I think you deserve way more readers/comments. I don't plug things ever and I find it a bit obnoxious when writers do it, but I just had to with your story. I'm glad that you're alright with it though. And hopefully you get more readers/comments. It's tricky getting faithful commenters and it drives me up a wall.

Ahahaha. Why does the fruit bowl thing make you laugh? I can see Mike being the one to buy the fruit bowl and keeping it stocked. I really just wanted Abigail to make herself a bit too comfortable in their apartment (and irritate Billie at the same time) and so I figured what better way than to make her take

Ooh. What makes 1970 such a good year? I'd be okay with being 30, I think. I could totally make a move on Tre and not have it be creepy. :) OR the sexy DJ in my city. Yes, I think thirty would be amazing, haha. I'm not weird, I promise.

Haha, it's not aging that scares me. It's the fact that I might grow old and not ever be able to really truly live my life. I'm terrified of blinking and suddenly finding myself married with kids and I've never really done anything. If that makes sense.

Yes! I just updated. Someone owes me ten bucks. :D

Ahaha, that's amazing! My best friends and I all started writing fanfiction back in high school, but they've since stopped. But I never stopped writing. Obviously my writing's grown leaps and bounds since then (sometimes I go back and reread some of the first stories I started writing and I just wince at how shit it all is). I don't think I'd be embarrassed in front of them about writing fanfic. It's like... my parents, I'd be mortified. I mean, they know I write since I'm constantly in front of a Word document and typing. But I've never really shown them anything. Haha. I'm shy. :S

Dude, I totally wish I could have been born in the 80s. Because honestly, everything was better back then. Music, clothes... well, not technology. But the important things. Except this would make us 30. And that kindof scares me. :S

Awwh, thanks:) You always have such sweet things to say. Truthfully, I feel like I'm going to have to pick it up a bit; otherwise, things'll end up being like 95 million chapters long and I doubt anyone'd want to read that. Plus I feel like if Billie and Rilla were to get together, their relationship would be... explosive and fast. Does that make any sense?

I think you're doing a good job of detailing things. A good story needs more to the plot than just the romance aspect of things. Because really, romance doesn't take up one's life completely.

Haha! That's such a good observation. I have this horrid fear of either someone I know finding out about my fanfiction OR I'll meet someone I'm writing about and I'll either confuse my "facts" with reality or I'll blab it to them by accident and embarrass the crap out of myself.

Now I'm just picturing me like hovering over my grandmother like 'Why don't you just DIE already!?' 'What's that, Alex?' 'Uh.. nothing, Grandma. Love youu' Baha, I'm so mature.

Being really picky with your writing is a good thing; otherwise, your writing comes out really crappily. I have to have everything planned out before I start writing or else I lose interest. I'm afraid I've gone into too much detail in my Billie story- I literally have a notebook with three years sketched out in GD history. I'm trying to stick as close as I can to the real thing, but at the rate I'm going, I'll most likely have to skip massive chunks in time and speed things up a bit.

BAHA. I literally just burst out laughing at that story. That is actually awesome; your friend sounds amazing. I want to befriend him too. That is just ridiculous and kickass all at the same time. I love it.

Also, don't worry about it, it totally fit Tre and his crazy personality. :)

I was on the morning show of a really popular station here in my city with my best friend. It was really cool- the one DJ was super sweet and nice and talked with us after we went off the air, but the other was busy with putting the show together. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to speak to him because he's hilarious on the air. But yeah, we talked about school and music and other things. My friend was kindof hogging the mic, so I only got a few words in. But it was alright, I was content with saying my little bit.

But really, I don't have an interesting life! I'm actually a really boring person, no lie. My life's like school, work, friends, eat, rinse, repeat.

Haha. I've already staked out my grandmother's, though it's more modern than I'd like it to be. But beggars can't be choosers, right? I'll just have to be content with that. Now if only she'd die... just kidding! ;)

Haha, don't worry. When I get nervous, I just ramble and the majority of the things that tumble out of my mouth are, in fact, inappropriate. Case and point: I was on the radio a few weeks ago with my best friend and I was so nervous, I made a joke about the Hulk aaaand no one laughed. Thank god I didn't have a mic near me so no one heard it on the air, but both DJs definitely did and probably now think I'm retarded.

I've greatly influenced him, much to my mother's chagrin. The only thing I can't quite seem to instill upon him is my love for Green Day. He only likes a few of their songs and that makes me sad. :(

Yeah, I know what you mean. I did too. But they're super nice. I promise.

Ahh no I haven't but I'll have to check it out now. I love finding new things to read, I go through books so quickly.

THANK YOU! That bothers the shit out of me when, like, the girls pull out their iPods and they're blasting MCR. It's like.. first of all, they weren't even formed yet, secondly ipods aren't real yet. Jesus christ. Learn your timelines!

Haha, well I'm glad I could make you happy. I know how ridiculously exciting it is to log on and see story comments. :)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The thing that just irks me about the whole thing is that I've no idea who the girl is and she like tried to correct my story. I dunno, I find it to be horridly rude. I don't think I'd ever do that to someone that I didn't know...

Honestly, I didn't even set out for Abigail to be such a huge character and she was originally just going to be a distraction to BJ, but she somehow morphed into this flirty, bold, cut-throat bitch and I love her, to be quite honest, haha. See, she's so sneaky she slipped into my story without my knowledge! ;)

Bahaha. Your kids are going to be awesome; I think you're going to be a fantastic mom. I have one niece and two nephews and I swear a lot too. But you learn to filter really, really well once you're around kids all the time, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. Also, I once called my mom a bitch when I was little because I was mad at her and my dad scrubbed my mouth out with soap. I never called her a bitch again... to her face. ;)

Ahahaha! Dude, your parents sound awesome. I frequently alarm my parents too. I've even started to influence my brother. My mom has learned to just sortof shake her head and walk away. She frequently mutters something about the crazy coming from my dad's side of the family, haha.

I thought that too. I was a bit nervous showing up, tbh. I don't know why- I had this horrid mental image of them freaking out because I was very clearly from out of town and they just don't sound very accepting. I'm not sure if that's because we know what they did to Green Day and how shitty they were treated, so we just kindof labeled them as knobs in our minds or what. I'm not even sure if that made sense....

I REALLY want one of those old-fashioned record players. I have been scouring shops for at least two years looking for one and I have yet to find one and I'm devastated over it. I'd love to be able to play vinyls and whatnot on them; I think they're awesome. Plus I have the perfect little nook in my bedroom for it. I must find one! Life goal right there.

I totally get what you mean. I first read it my sophomore year in high school, I was like 15, I think. I hated the english teacher so I just skimmed it and I was like 'oh yeah, great read.' And to be honest, Holden just made me angry. I hated him the first time I read it. Plus I found Salinger's writing style really boring and choppy. And then I sat down and reread it like a year later and I was just floored that I was that blind. Maybe it was because I was being forced to read it by someone I hated, so I wanted to hate it so I never gave it a chance. But I'm really glad that I did as it's one of my favorites now. Ooh, cliche, hi.

I'm actually reading Franny and Zooey now. It kindof saddens me that the only novel by Salinger that people've heard of is Catcher in the Rye as he really is quite a brilliant author. I wish more people'd look into his stuff- his short stories are amazing.

Also, I invaded your story page, haha. I'm babysitting and the baby passed out at like eight so I'm super bored and waiting for my sister to get home from a wedding. And there's nothing on television... I'm half tempted to go rummage through her freezer to find some ice cream. I lead such an awesome, productive social life as a 19 year old, haha. :)

Ah, I meant to reply to your story comment along with your last comment earlier, but I had to leave to go meet my friend up. So I wasn't ignoring your lovely comment! I absolutely adore the mental image of Abigail becoming the classic villain, though that wasn't my original intention. I just think... girls are catty bitches, especially when it comes to a guy that they like. Rilla and Abigail just so happen to like the same guy for vastly different reasons. If that makes sense.

I also have a hilarious story about the story title. Okay, not so funny, but it is to me. A random girl commented me, like, "Okay so, your story title's REALLY bothering me because it's improper grammar. It should be eaten, not ate." I was like... "A) It's a Green Day song [and tbh, my story isn't the only one with this title. Did she really think we all had shit grammar?], therefore it fits with the story and it is actually cohesive with the plot line. B) Where do you come off randomly commenting my profile and try to boss me around with my own story title, mate. For real?" And she was like "Oh, I guess it's just the grammar nazi in me coming out. LOL." Uhm no. Sorry, I'm just really irritated over it, haha. :S

Anyways! I am actually terrified of having children. Some days I think I want two or three kids and other days, it's like ahh wtf, no! It's just... having children is so daunting- it's literally the most frightening thing in the world to me. But yes, I get exactly what you mean. I frequently promised myself growing up that if/when I had children, I would never ever do whatever to my kid. But now that I'm older, I can actually see the sense that my parents had in how I was raised. I feel like I'm betraying my younger self or something, haha.

Totally used the kangaroo line at dinner tonight. I win. My parents now think I am stupid as all get out, but I'm perfectly okay with it. :)

AHH YES! I think one of my favorite, favorite songs by him is Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. It's just-- gah. His lyrics are amazing. Yet another phenomenal artist that my father got me into, haha. :)

Haha, nooo. I don't think they'd throw you out. They're all really, really nice. Everyone kept asking me where I was from because I guess my accent was really noticeable, but whatever. Yeah, they were just really sweet and nice. I'm sure they get a lot of traffic from Green Day fans, though it sounds just like something they'd not exactly be thrilled over. However, I met some really cool people that night. I can't wait to go back in August.

Haha, San Francisco'd be screwed, to be completely honest. Don't worry, we can chill out in record shops for a few days and then I'll drag you into a bookstore and drool over everything. ;D

Baha yeah, I got that lecture too. It was always "If you come home pregnant, you're giving the baby up!" I wasn't even willing to put up a fight about it just coz I wanted my mom to shut up. Never mind the fact that I would have kept the baby had I gotten pregnant, unless of course I was like 14. Though to be honest, sex was the last thing on my mind when I was that age. Also, your dad sounds awesome- I love those awkward jokes where you're not sure if you want to laugh or cower. My dad's from Germany and he's a big dude. So he just kindof looks at you and guys would just scamper. It's probably why I've never brought a guy home. That and both of my parents have their gun carrying license and they're not afraid to use them. Soo.. yeah, haha. :|

That's awesome! There are a few places around here to play and my friends and I used to rotate every weekend at each club to see a new band. It got a bit old when the same bands were playing the same sets.

WHAT?! Kangaroo means I don't know!? Mind. Blown. That is actually fantastic. Now every time someone asks me something I don't know, I'm just going to say kangaroo and walk away. Ahahaha. PS- Billy Joel is a fucking god. I love him so much- my friends all make fun of me for having his albums in my car.

Yes! I just need to pitch it to them and then collect royalties. :)

Haha, true. It's mostly just because my family is still over there. Like my dad's family is in Germany and my mom's family is in England. They always come here to visit us and I've always wanted to go visit them, but my dad hates flying. And traveling in general. Which is weird because I love it, haha.

I was just turned 19 when I went. I felt like I was on a Green Day pilgrimage- I went to Gilman's and saw some really terrible band play, haha. It was awesome; I kept freaking my brother-in-law out (he took me to Gilman's because my sister apparently thinks I'd get myself raped and then killed or something. Go figure) because I would pull him over to the wall to see a random Green Day graffiti, haha.

Yes! Come stay with me! I'll be like "No Kendall, I promise she's not a random girl I met online and that she's really 20 and not some 75 year old pedophile who wants to wear my skin like a body suit." ;)

I know exactly what you mean. I'm number five in our family, so my parents were pretty relaxed with their standards by the time they got to me. The only crap thing is that I'm the baby girl, so I kindof get the overprotective card played all the time by my mom especially, if that makes any sense.

I think that'd be so cool! I love smaller venues- I've not yet seen a big band in a small venue, mostly just local bands and a few of the bigger groups and I just love the atmosphere. It's a lot more cozy and amazing. But that's such a cool idea to do an alias name and see if anyone catches on and shows up to your gig. :)

Dude, I would LOVE to be able to say fuck it to college and just play music for the rest of my life. It's not realistic though unfortunately and I have to make a living for myself, so I kindof had to let that ship sail. I'm just content with playing with my band here in my city with our fistful of fans. It's so funny! It really just started off as me and my two best friends jamming in her basement one day and then it seems like the next, we were playing at a party for a friend of ours. I dunno, it's just really cool. That's how people recognized me in high school, haha, as the girl in the band. :| Also, Generation Kangaroo is a fantastic name; I love it. Ours is Honor Roll. Yay for coming up with band names when you're 14 years old and in your freshman English class and you're trying to be "edgy", bahaha.

Ahh the boys are perfectionists so we probably won't see this album for another two or three years unfortunately. What I want to know is, you see all these interviews where they go "yeah, we wrote like 50 songs in preparation for this album"-- where do all of those songs go!? If you've written them all, record and master them and then release it as, like, a bonus disc to tide all the ravenous fans over. ;)

You're so close! I'm really jealous, haha. I like to comfort myself with the fact that I'm legal in Europe, as pathetic as that now makes me.

Uhhm that sounds killer, dude. I love Cali though- I went last summer for the first time because my sister and her husband might move out there for his job. If they do, they just had a baby and she doesn't want to move by herself so I'll move out with them. Luckily it's in San Francisco, so I feel like I'll be right in the middle of it all. Anyway, I'm going again the second and third week of August and I'm like ahh, crazy stoked. It's so pretty there. :)

Ahaha! Oh my god, that's hilarious. Blackmail photos, those are the best. My friends have loads of them. And quite frankly, I'm not too bothered by this fact. :)

Oh man. That's such a shame. You're absolutely right- your 20s are to cut loose and go crazy; it's practically what's expected of you! It just really, really freaks me out when my friends are trying for babies and starting families or whatever. I'm like STOP! You can't even legally drink! Stop trying to grow up so fast, please. :(

That's awesome- your brother sounds really frikkin' cool, dude. My parents were strict enough to keep me from going off the deep-end and going crazy about "finding myself", but also smart enough to let me go off enough on my own in order to find out who exactly I am, if that makes any sense. Granted, my mom's super uptight and it's alway my dad who's encouraging me to do whatever. But I think they did a good job- I think I'm an alright kid, haha. I'm one of six kids and I think I'm the only one who really took after my dad in the music department, the only one to really, truly connect with music. And I know it scared the hell out of my mom when I started my band in my freshman year because all I talked about was foregoing college and just playing gigs all the time. But I grew up a lot and I realized that the chances of me being able to play music full-time as a job are, like, slim to none. I mean we still play shows and we've got a decent following in my city, but it'll never be enough to do for the rest of my life, you know? And now I want to be a writer! Just shows you how much I go for the more """"alternative"""" (as my lovely grandmother so kindly put it) careers. :|

Yeah man, didn't Billie say it would be at least two more years. And I'm like awh. I nearly went crazy waiting between AI and 21CB, haha. Maybe they'll shake things up a bit in this next album? You can tell that they're growing in leaps and bounds with each album that they put out and it's really exciting. Maybe it won't as closely follow the act of a concept album? I'd give anything to be able to chill with them and just talk too. Like it would blow my mind to just pick their brains- it's astounding how fucking brilliant they are musically-wise. I just-- ahh. It would be amazing, haha.

Oh man, lucky. I turn 20 in August and all of my friends are turning 21. It's crap being the youngest in the group. But awesome coz they can buy me alcohol now :D I hung out with my best friend last night and we bought beer at like three in the morning- it was epically disastrous and yet awesome. I'm obviously not legal yet and I knew the cashier knew I wasn't but she sold us it anyway. I was like ILY!

I'm also really jealous that you get time off of school. I'll go back to school in the fall and then I graduate with my Associate's degree in ten weeks. So I'll be barely 20 and have a college degree. And I'll need to take a break from school until the university that I want to attend changes over to the next semester, so I'll have, like, a 15 week break or something. I jokingly said I wanted to just take that time off and travel the world. Mom flipped out completely, haha. I claimed I was just embracing my European roots. ;)

Bahaha! Totally busted out laughing at that story- that's hilarious. Alcohol does crazy things to people, man. I've kissed a girl (or two) while under the influence. It just happens. It reminds me of the first time I went out on a date with a guy. He went in to kiss my good night and I was not feeling him at all, so I turned my head and he kissed, like, my chin. Ahh, good times. :)

Ah thank you! I totally feel like.. I'm almost 20 and if I want to cut loose and party and make out with a few guys, it should be fine. All of my friends are busy looking for a boyfriend and getting into super serious relationships and having kids. And I'm like... we're in the middle of college; shouldn't our main concern be, like, living life to the fullest and having fun? Who wants to think about marriage and babies at 20? You're just starting your life out!

I also feel like your family has a massive part of shaping who you are as a person. Like I got into Green Day because of my dad and he's the one who introduced me to the Who, the Ramones etc. I'd never have started listening to them on my own. And that's what lead me to the Sex Pistols and Operation Ivy and the New York Dolls and stuff. I dunno, just me rambling, I suppose.

I get exactly what you mean. I played my Dookie CD so much, it's warped and I had to buy another copy. It was like my high school anthem, dude. I do wish that they'd go back to their Dookie roots, but at the same time, they can't. I mean they set the gauntlet so high with AI and 21CB and it's almost what people expect of them, you know? All the political stuff. It's cool, but it gets a bit much at times. Sometimes you just want to listen to music without being bombarded by the wordy political crap. If that makes any sense...

Yeah man, I have no idea where the week went. I feel like my time goes by so much faster now that I'm on summer break then it would while I was in classes. It's frustrating. And now my job is inhaling all of my free time so it's like blaaah. I just want to be able to lay around and be lazy. But that's so sweet that you were a bit worried- I'm totally fine. Thank you for the concern though. :)

The hug part is absolute real life, man! You know that tense, awkward part after you hang out with a cute guy you really, really like and you're not sure if you should hug him or place an innocent kiss on his cheek or something. Totally hate that moment personally. :(

Also ack! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply back to your comment. I hope you didn't think I was ignoring you or anything. Honestly I wasn't. Life just snuck up and kicked my ass the past couple of days. :S

I've grown up listening to Green Day because of my dad and older brothers, but I didn't really get into into them (if that makes sense) until I was a freshman in high school. I know what you mean, they just seem like relatable guys and I loved that there was someone out there who knew how things went and didn't try to bullshit anything.

I love Shark Week! But I'm cool with it 'cause they're on a tv screen. In real life, I'm a bit paranoid and panicky, so I was flipping out. I kept going to pet the pregnant one and this massive black one kept swimming by so I kept ripping my hands out of the water and flipping out. My 16-month-old niece was more brave than I was, haha. I'm such a pansy.

That sounds like such a cool idea! That's kindof how my songwriting notebook is--it's got really awesome lyrics that I love scrawled all over it and then you've got my songs written in there too. A lot of the lyrics are Billie's, I'm not ashamed to admit, haha.

Oh my god, that's horrid! I can't believe you got left for Jesus. Awwh, your situation, man. That's so shit. I'd love signs that just label guys that are awesome and would be suitable to date-- it would make my life a hell of a lot easier. I wouldn't have to waste all my efforts weeding out the obnoxious jackasses.

If it makes you feel any better, my best friend turned 21 this past Saturday and she had this massive blowout. I blacked out for the first time, but that's not the point. I sobered up a good deal at the end and apparently, this guy had been flirting with me hardcore all night and drunk me decided to lead him on. So I ended up making out with him on the sofa topless.... and then I crawled off him and left early the next morning, at like eight. There's a part of me that wishes I had left him my cell or something because from what I can remember, he was really, really sweet. And he was cute. And he was a fantastic kisser.

.... wow, I don't sound like a whore or anything. :(

Haha, yes. That was a really good way to describe it. It's very rare for me to find a songwriter with lyrics that really speak to me- I actually find Billie to be one of them. But I get exactly what you mean. :)

I totally just busted out laughing at that. The mental image of someone chilling at the top of a tank with a fishing pole is hysterical. I did have fun, thank you. I pet a shark, all the while freaking out completely. I'm petrified of them and I kept thinking they were going to rip my arm off, haha. I'm a bit dramatic...

Fantastic. I definitely had to write that down in my songwriting journal. It just speaks to me; it's a really cool quote. I'm glad you showed it to me, haha. /lame

I don't get why guys are either complete assholes or utterly clueless. I just-- blaah. I had a relationship with a guy I really, really liked and as it turns out, I was the other girl. I had no idea, but I was overpowered with these crippling waves of guilt when I did find out. Guys just aren't too great at times unfortunately. :S

I gave their myspace a listen and I actually really liked their stone mason song. I can't remember the exact title, but it was so nice! His voice is so lovely, it put me at ease immediately and I love when I feel comfortable with a song. :)

I'm leaning towards a Friday posting actually, because I've already written 26 and I'm anxious to see how everyone reacts to it. I'm not sure yet; I might be going out with my sister and niece tomorrow afternoon to the aquarium (there will always be a small part of me that reverts back to a six-year-old whenever I go to the zoo/aquarium/wherever) and I'm horrid at getting out of bed before, like, noon. :| So we'll see how well I manage to make that happen, haha.

Holy cow. I really like that quote- who is it by?

Yesss. Billie has no idea he likes Rilla. I mean he thinks she's cute and really intriguing but he's not as blatantly attracted to her as he is to Abigail. He's more in lust with Abigail than he is with Rils, if you get what i mean. He just doesn't seem to realize what exactly he has in front of him in the form of Rilla. Am I making any sense with this? Haha.

I shouldn't have busted out laughing at that story, but I totally did. I can only imagine how awkward it must have been to have all of the drugs in your pocket fall out in front of someone. Like "Err, I can explain..." Ahh definitely, I'll check them out- thank you, I'm always up for hearing some new music! :)

When I was reading that quote, I just got the sudden mental image of Rilla shouting it at Abigail or something to that general effect. I think it'd be a really cool scene to write and I'm deadset now on incorporating it into the plot. Hopefully I can do it justice. :S

Awh. I think I get what you're saying. And it means so much to me that you think so highly of my writing. Sometimes I think I'm moving things too slowly, so it's really refreshing to hear that it's not that slow. And I love your metaphor at the end- I actually loled. Coincidentally, I'm listening to the Ramones as I type this to you. :)

I'm actually off to post Chapter 25 right now! I'm really excited; I love this chapter. I think it's my favorite so far.
