I might have to think...OMG, Phoenix and his curls!! I might have to think about that one. That sounds like a possible love connection.<br /><br />I wonder what the first boy Cully ever kissed looked like. :P Kidding. <br /><br />That is an interesting question. Alexander was pretty frosty with both Dina and Isabella when he was a child. For Dina, this made little difference since she had her own crap to deal with and rarely saw Alexander anyway. He spent his preteen and teen years at the Dewilliker Academy. For Mortimer, Alexander was an after-thought. Isabella looked up to him as a child and wanted very badly to be friends with her big brother but he brushed her off. Today, I would say that Alexander is only really a nodding acquaintance with Dina and Isabella. He's probably friendlier with Adelaide than he is with Dina and Isabella. I will need to ruminate on that one.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-81476830447021411562010-09-09T12:55:48.252-04:002010-09-09T12:55:48.252-04:00Maybe Elmira could get with Phoenix and his curls ...Maybe Elmira could get with Phoenix and his curls :D<br /><br />Now that I think about it, short-haired Cully bears a slight resemblance to the first boy I ever kissed. Same sort of facial structure. Very different eyes, though.<br /><br />Completely random question for you: do Dina and Isabella get along with Alexander at all? Or is it kind of awkward?Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-23746793237218887712010-09-09T07:19:24.848-04:002010-09-09T07:19:24.848-04:00Yes! He does have a brother. His brother introduce...Yes! He does have a brother. His brother introduced me to the Sims... Which I think technically makes him a Simmer but certainly not to the degree that you or I are Simmers.<br /><br />Yes and the nemesis is a strong basis for Enoch. :D :D<br /><br />Woe betide the boy who comes calling for Elise. But then again maybe Kvornan would be okay if he could sense that she really, really likes this one and please can they go to the malt shop and please can they take a walk together and KVORNAN, I AM 48 YEARS OLD BUT YOU NEVER LET ME GO ANYWHERE! <br /><br />Oh Enoch is obvious. Madeline knows how much he likes her. He's just a toad.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-81513839874418714402010-09-08T21:31:25.603-04:002010-09-08T21:31:25.603-04:00Are you telling me you have your own Laurie? D: Do...Are you telling me you have your own Laurie? D: Does he at least have a brother I could borrow?<br /><br />And your boyfriend has an archnemesis? That's adorable!<br /><br />I remember Enoch's conversation with Ian about Laurie's sexuality, but I didn't remember that Elmira had overheard! She really is a mouse.<br /><br />I have a feeling he'll get along really well with Elise. I hope Kvornan gets jealous. Maybe that's how they could meet!<br />Kvornan: Stay away from my girl/soulmate/secret love/pseudo baby sister, pretty boy.<br />Cully: I have a boyfriend.<br />Kvornan: ...Oh.<br /><br />I'm sure you can do way better than that, though. ;)<br /><br />Lastly, I hope Enoch grows a pair and tells Madeline how he feels. She'll be appalled, of course, but it'd be interesting to watch to say the least.Maruutsuhttp://maruutsu.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-73350471166350992422010-09-08T18:47:18.107-04:002010-09-08T18:47:18.107-04:00As a matter of fact, Elmira does know he's gay...As a matter of fact, Elmira does know he's gay: <br /><br /><a href="http://draggingbluelake.blogspot.com/2008/11/chapter-31-elmira-is-mouse.html" rel="nofollow">Chapter 31: Elmira Is A Mouse</a><br /><br />*hehe* And no, she is a grown woman and does not have a crush on Laur-Laur. Maybe if he were older though. Aww, it would be so cute if I could find someone for Elmira.<br /><br />Heh, it's funny that you would say that about Laurie being straight for you because Laurie is partially based on my boyfriend. When I first imagined Laurie and Enoch together, I wanted them to have the same dynamic that my boyfriend and his arch nemesis have. Funnily enough, Laurie even looks a bit like my boyfriend, particularly when I age him up to adult.<br /><br />Cully will meet people that we know while in Veronaville! That is all the spoilers for now. Although, no current plans for him to meet Kvornan. What would that conversation be like, I wonder?<br /><br />I loled! Well, to be fair, if Enoch had never decided to prod Troy into billiards, this moment would not have happened at all.<br /><br />Heh, I like to imagine that once Enoch got home, he called Madeline and hung up before anyone answered multiple times. Poor Enoch. :DPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-58094064796275408512010-09-08T17:15:42.015-04:002010-09-08T17:15:42.015-04:00OK, now that I've read it like fourty times, I...OK, now that I've read it like fourty times, I can form some passably coherent thoughts. In chronological order:<br /><br />1) Laurie is one indie kid.<br /><br />1.2) He's friends with Elmira! Does she know he's gay? I hope she isn't getting her hopes up or anything.<br /><br />2) LOL at Laurie being embarrassed at his half-nakedness.<br /><br />3) Cully looks both adorable and smexy in that hair. I don't know whether to tussle his curls or make out with him. Maybe both.<br /><br />4) Cully's nervousness is endearing, as is Laurie's OH SHIT DID I JUST CALL HIM PAL moment. Yay for teenage awkwardness!<br /><br />5) Awww he wants to comfort Cully! Laurie, please be straight for me.<br /><br />6) Noooo! Don't leave! Well, okay, I really want to read about the fun times you'll have in Ethelden, but still! Nooooo! (Will he meet Elise? Oh and Kvornan? And Tara?! I really want him to!)<br /><br />7) Confession time! I actually had to read that several times and think about it, just like Laurie. It's got to be the best confession I've ever read.<br /><br />8) OMG CULLY KISSED HIM. CULLY! Who would've thought he'd wear the pants in this relationship?<br /><br />9) My first kiss now seems a little less messy and awkward. And a ton more innocent. Damn this is hot!<br /><br />10) DAMN YOU ENOCH, YOU HORSE-FACED BASTARD. GO STALK MADELINE OR SOMETHING.<br /><br />11) That last sentence kills me.Maruutsuhttp://maruutsu.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-6790932346280586612010-09-08T06:44:44.250-04:002010-09-08T06:44:44.250-04:00D'awww. <3D'awww. <3Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-72568492346797483852010-09-08T03:06:18.078-04:002010-09-08T03:06:18.078-04:00All I can do right now is SQUEAL and grin like the...All I can do right now is SQUEAL and grin like the goofy idiot I am.

I need to think of a way to sneak in more of that horse-faced fellow.<br /><br />And just think-- Out of the two of them, Cully is the shy one! I think he knew that if he kept waiting for Laurie to work up the nerve, they would both be old and gray before they got anywhere.<br /><br />Thanks, Meryt! And now to post 72. *poof*Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-66225928777043626012010-09-07T21:18:33.258-04:002010-09-07T21:18:33.258-04:00This was just awesome.

I might post tomorrow (for though it is finished, if I say that I will post tomorrow, something will definitely come up and then the posting will not happen). <br /><br />ARRGGHHH! When did I first writing this story?? Like 2 years ago?? That is how long I have been waiting for those two to get it together. Very happy to have this chapter done and on the interwebs.<br /><br />Those poor boys. SOOO much drama ahead for them-- And not all of it the direct result of their secret relationship.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-66397094578094129122010-09-07T01:08:20.304-04:002010-09-07T01:08:20.304-04:00Gayl:

Eegads, it just occurred to me that I have no idea what my LJ login is.<br /><br />Yeah, that shower scene had me snickering when I first imagined it. As did the sound of Enoch's voice in my head, yelling, "Yo, Mickey Lickey."<br /><br />It is bittersweet that Cully is leaving just as he worked up the courage to say how he felt but therein shall lie the tension! And they still have another month before Cully goes. He has to finish out the Fall/Winter semester at Pleasantview Private. During Spring Break, Siren might loosen up on her motherly leash and let Laurie visit Cully. Provided, of course, that Cully's grandmother lets Laurie stay since Laurie is after all the son of "The Tellerman Boy" (as Troy is still referred to in certain circles in Veronaville even though he is well into his forties). <br /><br />Cully is more magically gifted than he should be. More on that as Dragging Blue Lake continues.<br /><br />Thanks, Gayl!Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-83991439498313369972010-09-07T00:39:16.749-04:002010-09-07T00:39:16.749-04:00SQUEEEEEEE!!! :D :D :D

I'm over the moon right now! :D<br /><br />God, I just can't express how cute these two are together. Such a beautiful love story is about to unfold here, regardless of whether or not they end up together permanently (hey, they are quite young). I wonder how they'll cope with the separation... but I have a feeling they should be okay :)<br /><br />Great chapter, Pen :)Vanhttp://kingdomofnaroni.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-54937403772793460642010-09-07T00:37:09.169-04:002010-09-07T00:37:09.169-04:00Pen, oh how I have missed you and this story!
Sho...Pen, oh how I have missed you and this story!<br /><br />Shower scene cracked me up. The rest...well it was about time they finally showed their feelings although the idea that Cully is leaving is bittersweet.
