Wow...Poor Duck. I have to admit though, that I laughed out loud during that whole scene. I had the same damn smile lines Seth had. And, prior to reading your story, I wasn't terribly fond of the name Seth, but now I love it. Its all about the personality, eh?

If it were me, I'd go for Seth. Hands down. Robin's nice and all, but he's too...well damn. Cliched I guess. He's too much perfect and not enough real for me. Seth is closed off and careful and every time he offers anything to you, its to be treasured for the true gift that it is. Seth all the way!

You've done an amazing job with this story, its written from a unique perspective and I love the way you've drawn the characters. Bravo to you, I look forward to the next chapter! ^_^

hi. I like that you're 19 and still writing like you're 16. I mean that in like your view of the world, not writing style. I'm 18 and glad I am- but I think I can't really relate to your happy memories of your 16 year oldness bc I keep thinking I wasn't fully conscious when I was younger, that I was only a shell that somehow without me noticing becomes more, idk, substantial. But dreams were easier then.
Anyways, I think I love how you have this unknown person noting all the different facets of mimi that he likes, that he sees her as human, not some idol to be worshiped. God this is so OT but I follow kpop and one thing that esp gets me is how an idol is elevated to this goddess/god level, and it's depressing and
I also love how you write the awkwardness of the first date. Augh! I am also by nature an awkward person and even now I maybe compare myself to someone else who is possibly more calm/at peace with their surroundings. Also I think people mature at different rates, and it is okay to be a bit slow in maturing. ^_^
also disney underwear -> disney store? don't feel embarrassed buying it xD D<
I quite adore your writing style, I hope that if it does become more intricate or stylized, that you don't lose the emotion/voice you have now. Thank you :'D

Hihihi. Really good story! I like the main characters uniqueness. I would really like to read the rest so...ya, you know what to do.

Read this story: /s/2724588/1/Crescent_Lane. This author is awesome but she hasn't gotten any reviews :(

I really like the story you've got running. I can't wait to hear what you're going to next with this...

I'm sorry I haven't reviewed any of the previous chapters, I've just been stalkery-ish and have read it all up until the last chapter before I review...I absolutely positively LOVE this story! It's so funny, romantic, cute, and keeps me guessing on who mimi will end up with!! (my guess is seth, just cus she's so much more comfortable and can be herself around him) I love the short little thoughts of mimi's about love, they are very deep and extremely well-written. its definitely made me ponder more than usual about love. i cant wait for the update, keep up the awesome work!

love it.
UPDATE

I have to say, I'm incredibly impressed that you managed to crank out this long and quality chapter during college. I just started my freshman year of college, and it's been crazy hectic--I haven't been able to read or write very much lately. i also can't leave you a really solid, long review, but I'll do what I can. :)

There were a lot of things here that were well-written and/or just comic genius. One of my personal favourites?
"'Awful things happen when we’re together! Dogs die. People vomit. Pants vanish. Inanimate objects go berserk. Etcetera. Pattern recognition, hello? Obviously, Armageddon is just one more casual hangout session away.'" HAHAHA I laughed SO hard.

I'm not sure how I feel about everything. I love Robin, but I feel like Robin and Mimi act kind of suppressed around each other, which makes me sad because I feel like maybe they could work well if they were both more open with themselves. I feel like I don't really know Robin. I like Seth, even though he's not a Prince Charming type like Robin, but I'm not sure who I necessarily like better. I like them both a lot, and... yeah. I don't know.

Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this, as always. Sorry that this is so short/incoherent, but thanks for a great chapter, and all the best in college! :)

I feel like Mimi.
Totally socially awkward in terms of dating.

ho-kay. i feel like i have a lot to say but it's probably going to be less than i think and most likely pretty insignicant to you, but whatever, i'mma gunna vomit words all over yo 'puter screen anyhow.

the way you write is equisite, so unique and your own. it makes me want to read more. it's so wonderously beautifully written. how one moment can be light and carefree, and i feel like i'm a part of mimi's group and laughing along with her friends, and the next sentence sounds so deep and i want to re-read it all over again because i KNOW there's a hidden message i'm missing. your characters don't jump off the page, they freakin' flying ninja tackle you.

and it's so obvious it's painful that mimi needs to be with seth. robin is amazing and all, but he's slightly cookie cutter - exactly what mimi's daydream-guys have always appeared to be. seth's where it at, yo.

wow i'm way good at rambling.

this is the longest review i've given by far. feel loved.

~irdw

wow wow to your story! absolutely amazing! i don't really like Robin though...too perfect...she will end up with seth right? I really love your writing style, especially with the little inserts of "someone's" thinking. =]

This is such a great story! It took me forever just to read this one chapter because I was laughing hysterically all the way through. Love it!

YO! Being a hardcore, street thumpin' gangsta how could I do anything but answer to your call to review?

I love reading this story so much. It's like eating a warm gooey chocolate cookie. It gives you that kind of happy satisfied feeling. I loved so many lines in this. The duck bit had me cracking up (Only Mimi, only Mimi.)

I also loved these lines-

“However, I have written songs about my cold blended dairy drink that brings the males to the grassy area outside my home, and they declare that it is far superior to yours, absolutely superior to yours, it is an art upon which I could instruct you, though I would have to demand compensation.” SO FUNNY and so Seth. I would find it really hard to describe Seth if I was put to it, but at the same time, I feel like I get his personality, if that makes sense. That humour is just so typically him.

"Two long, bony fingers salute me and I take a moment to feel his imprint in my consciousness as he settles there, like Jess and Liv and Kevin and Lilly, to make a home. He is there to stay now. I clasp them all to me like little golden lockets". Really beautiful imagery, and so the perfect beautiful way to describe that moment when you become friends with someone, like truly start to love them, and you just always want to remember them in that moment.

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE this line- "For a long time, I was quite convinced that this would happen, because I was too special to have a dull and normal life. If nothing else, my letter from Hogwarts would be arriving in the mail shortly.

Then I settled."

It's so heart breaking and funny at the same time. Also can totally relate. On my eleventh birthday, I kept a secret eye out for my owl from Hogwarts. Like I knew it was just a story, but it was so real to me (still is, I suppose hahaha) that a small part of me remain convinced that Harry's world was real. I LOVE that line in book 7 when Harry asks Dumbledore, right before he's about to return to from his near-death/outter-body experience to the forest to kill Voldemort- and he says something like, "is this all in my head?" and dumbledore says "of course it is, but that doesn't mean it can't be real." And the eleven year old in me went YES YES! So true! This story may be in my head but Harry lives! Somewhere! hahaha Yuck. I too am going to be 20 next year. This terrifies me. Twenty means business. Twenty means your life is sorted and you're heading somewhere and potentially you can't even think of yourself as a girl anymore, but a woman. I'm pretty damn sure I'm not at the "woman" stage. I'd like to stay a girl forever.

I think you're doing a good job with Robin- making him seem so perfect that it's scary, and just plain wrong (if that's the angle you're going for). I wonder how exactly the relationship between him and Seth works. I love Seth and Mimi. They have such a great chemistry. And I think they both scare each other cos they've never had a friendship quite like this with another person, which is really cool. Seth has a kick arse sense of humour, and he has this really strong sense of self, which I dig. I think Robin, confident as he is, relies a lot on how he's seen by others to get his self worth. Hence the uber nice-ness. But I could be wrong. Potensh.

On the last bit Mimi talks about- wanting to be rescued... I don't know. I don't know if I can really relate to that. I don't think I've ever romanticised that feeling. I don't know what it is that we love about fairy tales and rom coms. I think more than being rescued it's just that- the happy ending. That even if you screw up or a locked in a tower or have to sleep for a hundred years- you still deserve to be loved.

Anyway- I finished reading the Secret History today, which was brilliant, but had me thoroughly depressed, but this has perked me right back up. So thank you :) I'm SO SO happy that you continue to write this. keep on cranking this out woman! haha much love x

Lovely chapter. Glad to see an update. Haha what a funny date, Seth = awesome.

I miss this. I LOVE Seth, Rob is kind of boring? I hope you update soon! This story of yours is really funny. Hah.
