Let’s do the little “recap” thing. Scott = fabulous. Jeremy = fabulous. Scott + Jeremy + Love + Romance = It’s a lovely day for a white wedding. That one lonely dresser drawer ain’t gonna’ do it, buddy. He needs a closet of his own, minimum. Then you have to agree on the decorating (I usually leave it up to the woman, but you don’t have that option). See, you’re both in the “denial period.” You say things like “we’re not _really_ living together,” but no one is fooled. Wait until he starts rearranging the stuff in your kitchen. It’ll drive you positively mad, I promise. You are _doomed_, chief. You are so close to being married that it would take a construction crane to pull you back from the lip of the Abyss. You lucky bastard. The entire post above should be taken with one of these: 😃 Except the “lucky bastard” part. ---

Congratulations! Just watch out for that crackers-in-the-mouth thing at the reception… 😃 And **Potter** , that’s _beautiful_. I never thought of wearing a ring being like that. ---

Does this “Jeremy”–if that is in fact his _real_ name—have _hairy feet_? Is he rather…_short_? And do Dark Runes appear on the Ring when it is heated in a fire? If the answer to one or more of these questions is “yes”, then somebody is trying to simplify his life before the third sequal. ---

OK **Scott** , here I was wallowing in my semi-normal “I hate Christmas” mood. I was trying to get through the holiday and keep my Grinch/Scrooge thing intact. I was really looking forward to January. Then I just _HAD_ to read your post. I’m all teary-eyed now. AND _SMILING_, ya bloody bastard! 😃 > [@](#): > > When a man’s in love, when a man’s in love > ain’t nothin’ too hard or too tough when a man’s in love > When a man’s in love, when a man’s in love > he’ll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man’s in love > > - Rod Stewart Sheesh.
