u r relly good but i wish u would hurry up

So. Meat Loaf is my ALL TIME FAVORITE band EVER. So when I saw the title I was like 'lol Meat Loaf' thinking it was an unintentional thing cause not many people like Meat Loaf anymore cause they're lame. But then I saw the summary and was like 'omgyay Meat Loaf!' and I HAD to read it. cause it's a Meat Loaf reference. This is good so far. :D Sorry I can't not know the song till after but whatever. :P

i have no words left, except that i'm so glad you're working on this again! and i hope the next update is soon(ish), cause everything is starting to build and build and it's getting TENSE and - and - well i need to know what's going to happen next! simple as that. please oblige.

i've really enjoyed rereading this. the title is perfect. MAN. ughh. i'm going to be thinking about it for awhile! get writing, miss. mis. etc. u r the best.

love,
keza

as though clouds were crawling through his head.. another great line. mush is soo trashed, zomg.

blink is jealous. uh oh.

UH OH.

oh. oh, jeez.

Look at this kid! I can review under my name again, because all this stuff comin up is BRAND NEW. AWESOME.

omg race and his messy game of solitaire is like the saddest image i can think of right now. and him watching as they go out the door - noo! also, jack kelly cameo! /intro.

boots cameo! yow! the whole gang!

the fun! i can't wait!

here i yam!

but HAD blink forgotten, mush? HAD HE?

i kind of like your portrayal (at least as it seems to me) of racetrack as a loner. i feel like most of the time in fic he's surrounded by friends etc. but this portrayal of him is really interesting. it's making me think about his character.

"They was looking for Racetrack. They found me."

awesome, AWESOME, line.

ok this is a bland compliment, i apologize, but your description on the rooftop here is top-notch. (actually if you say it with a british accent, it doesn't sound so bland.) everything seems so natural! all the little things each of them are doing - not too much detail to drown in, but instead just these asides to let us in on the scene. it plays out so easily in my head.

i'm still a little confused about the beats stuff, but i like it that way. i mean, i think i know, but i'm trying not to let any assumptions color (translation: colour) how i read them.

mush, as always, to follow. sad face.

ok, last chapter for now because i actually have homework now (semester just started.. boo) and if i don't start reading all my spanish stuff now, it'll never be done by, um, thursday. (but seriously. UGH. MY LIFE. MI VIDA.)

I don't really really want to do anything. ohh mann. ok, so this might not be the best place to stop reading for the day, but it must be done. only one class tomorrow afternoon, so i know what tomorrow morning will be..

anyway, so glad you're updating this again, mis, and i can't wait to get to the new stuff (i know there are at least 2 chapters i haven't read, but there might actually be more).

love,
kez

your hangover and insomnia descriptions are trying to give me a headache. also i kind of need a nap so i just feel really bad for mush right now.

also one thing i really like about this story is that it doesn't follow the trajectory of boy-realizes-he-likes-bff-boy-faces-difficulty. not that that isn't a great path in itself, but i like the fact that Mush KNOWS he's in love with Blink, and has BEEN in love with Blink for 8 years! ridiculous! and so much more painful. and we get to bypass the self-discovery bits, which can (can) be tedious.

the other thing i think about when i think about this story. insomniac Mush and how it's the most awful thing in the world. Mush! it's so painful to read, which means you're doing a good job, but also means it's so painful to read! TAKE A NAP, BOY!

ah. what a lovely end. before that, even, man, that breeze. i could feel that breeze. but what a lovely end.

haha, eyepatch tan! bummer, man.

two great lines here: that peculiar sensation of falling forwards .. and "The knocks vibrated deep in his chest, like a heartbeat."
MAN. O. MAN. you've got it. great descriptions of Blink and his vitality.. all the details etch him more firmly into my mind, more clearly - there's never "too much," you know? and mush doesn't need any description, his thoughts and feelings manage to do that well enough.

ok the show is about to start. THIS i remember SO WELL. actually i'd thought it was later on in the story but that was false. gotta read and see if i'm remembering things correctly.

MUSH IS SO HIGH.

this whole thing - the show against the hands thing going on with mush and blink - this is what i remember so clearly when i think about this story. and now, rereading it - wow. WOW. this is just one of the most incredible ff scenes i've ever read. the most incredible. and it builds and builds and BAM. seeya. i don't know what to say except WELL DONE. well done.

lovin blink's bravado
lovin mush's constant worrying + love for kloppman
and the scene between them and knipes!!

"almost as though the alcohol was a lullaby." wow. great line.

haha, i also love specs' one, completely annoying and cheesy line. it so fits him, that gangly bastard.

i remember the whiskey, but not all the details. just them on a corner being real sloppy. and the fact that they stole so damn much. crazy kids!

BAH BAH BAH BOOM BOOM BA-DOOM.

not sure what that's supposed to sound like.

i'm rereading this S.O.B. so i can read the new chapters and i'm so excited.

there's so much i don't remember! like this entire first chapter. there are certain parts that are still pretty vivid in my memory, though, i'll let you know when i get to them.

oh, meatloaf.

Glad to see another chapter. I'm enjoying the story; hope to read it all the way to finish. So please keep writing.

Thank (insert religious figure here) you updated this! This has got to be the best Blush story I have ever read, and they haven't even gotten together yet! The writing is amazing and your attention to detail is impeccable. I seriously hang on every word. I love it and I hope to see an update sooner rather than later. Can't wait for more!! (seriously...)

I...love...this...story...so...much...it's like...insane...

Poor Mush. Blink's such a little hypocrite. Pooey on him.

Drunken!Newsies are so fun, though. Can't help but love 'em. :)

PLEASE update soon. PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!

!love!

me

It has been such a long time since I've ready any of this that I don't remember a darned thing that's going on. Aside from being confused, I'm extremely impressed -- you captured the feeling of drunk confusion perfectly (brilliantly, even) and damn but that ending was ominous. As soon as I have time, I shall go back and reread to refresh my memory.
