Very cool, I love them. I liked the one about Randy best; don't really know why. . . Maybe it was the analogy between coins and words- that was great. Anyway, great job!: D

I really enjoyed the one about eric, very well done. Keep writing!

this doesn't seem to match the rest, but that's okay. it's good.i like the idea of this. i might do the same on day after i'm done being lazy.

i really like the one about eric, it's so gorgeous. it's one of those things you dream of happening (atleast i do since my idea of romance can sometimes be a little random).

simply brilliant. three and four, both. lovelove.

Sounds like quite a rebel. This series of past boyfriends/crushes kind of reminds me of the book 'The boyfriend list'. (where half of the boys are crushes,or made up) Very funny book, you should go check it writing the good stuff

*Inserts many o's and ah's* I really like the comparison to coins, it worked very well. (especially how you used the word 'pursed' beforehand. Thanks for reviewing again on what you thought about 'broken'. I muchly appreciate it, and you're interp isn't far off so the dead fish isn't necessary. :)

I love this. It's so simple and yet, its reeks of complexity. It's uglybeautiful. I like the use of graffiti.

I adore your second chapter, michael. It is short and to the point, with absolutely beautiful metaphors.

And maybe I'm biased for crushing hard on someone for sevenorso years as well. :)

This is even more charming for its simplicity.

Aww! So short but so much meaning..

sad, boring, and deprived don't fit this at all. i love the style and the metaphors, and it's a subject i think many can relate to. bravissimo! ;)

sad, boring, deprived all words to describe this
