Why no update? D: (I am hanlouliv by the way-just to lazy to log in).

quick correction:"The worst thing is that Grace’s friends seem to have noticed Kal’s little love issue; the crappy preps have been staring at us ever since we got here, and are now looking at Kal as if he bashes puppies for a living."

don't you mean "Olivia's"?

Being a nerd myself (hold the applause),i fell in love with this story! please update soon!

Haha, very cute! Kal's funny. :) Superman, eh?

I think this story is good so far. I like how it's progressing and I think the characters are well developed. I love how truly geeky they are and not in the cool Hollywood Seth Cohen way either. I salute you though in being a biologist since having done biology last year, freshman year, I hated it and I had a pretty easy teacher.

Nice job!

Wow, I love this story! Please (please!) update it soon.

Grace is my absolutely favorite character (what's her secret?), and I hope that she and Ed get together... I like Olivia when it's her thinking/speaking, because from her point of view she's just funny and a little sad, but not as much from other people's points of view... and... urgh, I just forgot her name. Tyler? That's not right. Long-hair girl is definitely very funny.

So... update? Please?

[“Do you bind cyclic AMP and play a role in the regulation of the expression of the lac operon?” he asks.

“No,” I say slowly, wondering where the Hell this is going. “Why?”

“Because you look like crap!”

CRP, cAMP receptor protein. Funny; thanks to yesterday’s lectures, I know I’ve just been hit by the nerdiest insult of all time. I am oddly flattered.]

I about died reading that part. oh my gosh, so bad! and yet, so, so good. god, ed is amazing.

oh by the way, that reminds me about how you asked me about what english classes are like. well, when I sneaked into them, I found myself oddly attracted to the idea of being an english major, until I remembered I would have to give up all my sciency ness unless I did a double major. they ANALYZE and stuff to no end, it's amazing!

and the students are really weird. like very artsy. it's not in a bad way, but just different.

ANYWAY. BACK TO YOUR STORY. haha sidetracking.

[“You forget that I’ve seen your wardrobe, Grace,” Ed says, smiling as he brushes his hair.]

Oh man, that is unfortunate for Grace. He's right! She can't pull this one past him. Oh, and I love Monsters Inc.

[Craptacular.]

haha. I usually say Craptastic, but this works too.

[Sorry, liver, but it’s you and me against the world tonight.]

this is cute.

poor liver, though.

[“Super,” he says lightly, before giving the barman what he clearly believes to be a piercing look that will allow him to get served instantly.]

okay, so you don't need to know this, but I read "barman" as "batman" and I was like, wait, this story just got really weird...

and then I laughed when I realized my mistake.

does showing off your cleavage get you drinks faster? HMM...

[What’s an epilator? Do I want one?]

HAHAH. okay, sorry, had to laugh.

[I could eat them up, straight out of her head holes. ]

ED. I LOVE HIM. him and his weird creeptasticness. it's awesome.

[I blink at her. What could she be implying? “I own you tonight,” I say calmly. “If I tell you to do it, do it.”]

haha. oh dear.

[I check my memory quickly to check that we don’t have too much in common; I have a lot of cousins I don’t know well and I don’t want to make the same mistake twice. ]

THIS. line is perfect. hahahah. oh my god, where do you come up with this stuff?

[I snigger. “I’m not clever. I just got here by…” I lower my voice, as if I’m spilling out a dirty secret. “Working my arse off.” The shame. I have an IQ of less than 140. Maybe I should be culled.]

sob. I think my IQ is under 140 too, judging by my old SAT scores... and I am not that clever either! she and I... have so much in common...

[“You’re beautiful,” Ed says slowly.]

:D SHUCKS. they are too cute. in... a not cute at all way. but you know what I mean?

[“You mean Laurie?”]

HAH. She caught him. But now I want to know more about it! How could you just leave it here? hah. don't worry, I'm not going to go psychotic about it... yet...

all right, so I'm finally caught up, and I love this story. it is so awesome!

god, I love ed so much.

I mean. yes. let's start from the top. first off, the tattoo! that was so funny. I've never gotten a tattoo while drunk, but I'm sure it would be something stupid I'd be ashamed of the next morning.

and HAH. battle royale. oh dear.

Love tracy. man, she is great. okay, so the whole matchmaker thing finally comes in, but it doesn't seem terribly cliche because youve set up for it well, and you characters are such... PEOPLE.

ED IS GREAT. is what happens next. that's really all I can say. there are so many classic lines!

I love grace so much that its kind of silly. I dont know who I want to fall in love with who, though. I mean, Kals a dork for liking this girl olivia, but maybe she's not so bad?

[“Went down the wrong hole,” he explains through pants.

“Reminds me of my first sexual experience,” Tracy says blandly.]

hahahaha. tmi, tmi. ps, love that she picks 3 and 1 in honor of pi and yeah. oh gee.

kal really is such a girl. I think its hilarious that he won't be called Caleb. like, why? haha. Caleb's not that bad.

[His ironic smile looks most psychopathic.]

oh dear.

[“Darling,” says Tracy. “I’m a Music student. I only came to your lectures because nerds are hot.”]

this tracy girl is a real character. love it! I admit I occasionally sneaked into lectures in the past because I was curious what english classes were like.

[Olivia sips from a glass of red liquid, her pearl-pink lips sucking delicately on one of three twisted black straws. ]

what a description! he must love her... haha.

oh geeze, he makes such an idiot of himself. It's all right, I'd be hermione too. I love how ed reacts to all of this too. oh my.

so, I'm not signing in because I'm lazy, but you know where to go if you want to curb stomp me, since I've reviewed with my signed in self before.

okay, so olivia and ed might not go well, but at least he's trying, with his freakish barnacle hands, right? poor olivia... and I love Colin; thats just brill. I didn't know those existed.

I mean, do they?

Grace is wearing a TOP CAT SHIRT AGHH. My heart. I would apparently go gay for a girl in a top cat shirt thats so random. and he calls her TC!

[I have no idea what to say to her next because I have never really hated anything except the Daleks, and I don’t think that evil dustbins count.]

hahaha.

[“Yes, vanishing can be a **, just ask Frodo. Well, she seems nice,” Grace says coolly.]

oh dear. I wonder what olivia's deal is?

poor ed! haha.

Oh man, it's a good thing you reviewed, or else I would have forgotten about this story!

er, other than the other reasons why reviews are good things, like encouragement, concrit, etc.

[It is a big wardrobe, large enough to hide a body.]

hahahaha. AND THEN HE ACTUALLY DOES IT.

[The girl is a masterpiece, the exact shape of a butternut squash.]

that is such a great line. I wonder if girls would take that as a compliment.

grace seems quite cool.
though it was weird of her to sleep in whatsisfaces bed from the last chapter.
batman duvet though... dont blame her.

[I've searched through her drawers and looked at her photos and even read some of her diary. I don't tell her this.]

this kid is hilarious! hahaha. I totally know someone like this.

[and the little in-growing hairs that hide away like surprise gifts.]

AGH HEEBY. hahaha. whatta creep.

[Oh no. I remind myself that I most definitely have not read any of her diary.]

you slay me. hahahaha. oh my god. I LOVE HIM?

[...or perhaps they're a gang of thieves trying to break into my room and steal my most prized possession.]

oh definitely.

[Yes, wheedle, wheedle, wheedle. Easy does it. Endosymbiosis never happened overnight, after all.]

snerk. this guy is amazing. oh, and olivia. she was mentioned before, right? small world.

this is unexpected and original! love it to pieces. you've always been great, but this might be my favorite yet! it has a nice, quirky feel to it, and I dig it.

I'll be back to read more soon :)

This chapter is definately toned down quite a bit with all the scientific stuff. I didn't sit through this with the huh? on my lips.

It is fun to see how much Grace hate Ed and how clueless he is to it all. It makes them both all the more endearing.

I have to feel for Ed and all his problemss with the family. Six husbands, oh my. I had a neighbor once who went through 9. Thed fact that Ed's stepdad is only a couple of years older than him reminds me weirdly enough of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but it was Bill's stepmom, and he had the hots for her.

Ed can't win either. He makes the hit on his cousin. James told me that he went to a funeral once and he accidently did something like that. All the same, poor Ed.

Fortunately, Grace is too drunk to hit Ed over reading her diary. I take it that Laurie is a common British boy's name. I have a doll for Little Women called Laurie (I obviously haven't read the book) and he's a boy.

The thing about Grace being fat was fun too. At least she is at ease with herself on this, not like Rose from the Jack story.

Oh, and Ed is definatley a monster in the closet. Sully would be fun. I thought Randal was rather cute in that villainy sort of way.

Oh, who's Laurie?

Heyo there! It's me again lol! :D Anyway, glad to review this one again and glad that you've updated it as well. :) Well, basically, I'm not an expert in nerd jokes, so I can say that some of the humor here got me lost. Apart from that, it's a good story you've got so far. :) I don't know if it's me, but Ed seems like a total jerk. And yeah, YMCA lol! :D I remember the song with the body movements. XD Anyway, I'm not sure whether this is a filler or not, but still, it's an interesting chapter. I can really forsee fireworks between Grace and Ed in the future from what I've seen here. Apart from that, nothing much to say. Hope to see you update this one again. Bye! :)

I feel really sorry for Grace. Ick! That almost sounds like all that Ed is interested in. i think she should have smacked him.

Tracy seems like afun character. Somehow i think she would do Ed. it seems like it is Tracy and all her exes.

Poor Kal. Well, I guess I sort of get what a koch is other than Crawdle of filth's record label. It could have been worse. he could have gotten a pretty butterfly. The remembrance of the drunken state was rather funny.

The only real problem i have with this chapter is all the bio-chemistry. I don't get what they are talking about half the time. I will happily admit that I am not the brightest bulb in the fixture, but i would think that this technical stuff has confused quite a few readers. That is the constructive criticism for this one.
