Status Updates From Hot Mess

I want more. I want to see Cameron meet the Mama!!

Well I'm glad Cameron got his head out of his ass. He needed a reality check, and Sam gave it to him. My poor Sammy boo, he missed Cameron.

Okay, this Ryan is an a$$hole!! Why the f*ck does Sam sees in him and keeps him as a friend?!?

Well, I really like this so far! A good believable conflict too, at this point, though that Ryan is kind of a jackass!

Got this from DSP #tweetaway ...

This is a frustrating read. I am not in a good place for a frustrating read

This is so cute.

Total book BF material, love it.

I'm in the mood for a hipster/half emo twink...
;)

A Devil's Own Luck and A Promise of Tomorrow are still my frothing-at-the-mouth-enthusiasm-loves of Rowan's, but this contemporary story is damn fine too! She has a sensitive, compelling way with characters. I want Ryan and John's story. Ryan knows he's an ass, John knows Ryan's an ass, so what's the deeper story that connects them? Need to know! *tucks colourful Canadian bills in Rowan's g-strong, begging for more*

Love it! He may still be fucked up, but who isn't? If you can be aware and take control, then you can still have a great Ol' fabulously fucked up life!

This last bit, after the final conflict, is saggy (it's lovely to see a bit of their day-to-day and have resolution with Ryan and John, but it's also not an overly strong "read on" motivator). But--yum!--their dinner sounds fab: pomegranate mojitos, brie en croute with dried cranberries for appetizers; wood plank salmon, rice and salad for the main meal; and if they say Jack Daniel's honey pecan pie for dessert...!

Cameron is empowered! I was thinking it's a blessing he took charge of himself; Sam is, unfortunately, an enabler. In the end, because of Cameron's deep suffering and equally deep desire to become aware, in control, Cameron has more emotional intelligence than Sam.

It makes me so happy! The value of the daily life.

WAH, Ryan! Why you gotta be so hard ass, so unsympathetic? Where your theory o' mind at, buddy? Where it at?! Never so completely judge someone's inside from your outside.

Aw. I identify with Cameron's (destructive and consciously unwanted) visceral response to overwhelming hurt or frustrated feelings that one can barely process. Boy needs some preventative cognitive behavioural tools posthaste.
