But, oi...I'm so happy for Ricky! Jasper is hot.<br />But, oi! GoT spoiler alert! LOL we don't have HBO and I have to wait for DVDs to come out to see GoT. But, no worries, I've read the series, I knew the Red Wedding was coming. I just learned they changed things up so Bolton does the deed.<br /><br />I'm a big Duchamp fan, myself, urinal included. He was obviously poking fun at the art establishment, and it worked.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-72513643702881466912013-07-01T02:57:19.768-07:002013-07-01T02:57:19.768-07:00I think I'm the one that understands the urina...I think I'm the one that understands the urinal. The urinal, such a fixture in any public restroom...yet it tells a unique story. A story that each persons adds to, I mean just think about all the people that have used that one urinal? Mind-blowing? I think so....and so that urinal stands boldly on that art wall, asking...PLEADING for someone to use it....<br /><br />I got sidetracked there, but that's good for Ricky and this chapter released right on time with current events happening in the more tangible world.Aeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103860984381123885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-21062963906808452382013-06-29T12:43:42.207-07:002013-06-29T12:43:42.207-07:00Ricky is very very oblivious sometimes, I swear.

It would most definitely be one of my traits were I actually a sim.<br /><br />The painting will come up again, trust me.<br /><br />The urinal discussion was completely impromptu. It was in the Bridgeport gallery and when I first saw it I debated taking it out, but then decided it would be an entertaining discussion point.<br /><br />Jasper is a Chatty Patty. I am too once I get to know someone a little. You'll end up getting my life story from DNA til that afternoon.<br /><br />Ah yes, the kiss that told them all they needed to know.

Poor Ricky was afraid that he was going to have to go on Match.com soon!<br /><br />Jasper is one of those people that as you'll see is able to draw people out. He grew up in an atmosphere of love and acceptance and being told you could be whatever you wanted in life. Ricky, not so much. His mother could be loving, but was often preoccupied and his dad, well, we all know his deal. It may end up being the quality that Ricky both loves and hates about Jasper.<br /><br />And yes darling, there will be lots of hot sex! Glorious man love for all!<br /><br />The sinuses are slowly getting better.

Jasper is hot, wow. Kudos to his creator. LOL. LMAO at the urinal being in an art gallery. I think that was awesome you put that in there. I love that their reactions to it were "WTF?" LOL. Pretentious people who are like "this is art, it is beautiful because the gleam of the handle where you flush the *continues babbling on*" make me want to *fake throw up* LOL!! I love how nice Jasper was to Ricky and just kind of like saying things to make Ricky more comfortable. That kiss at the end, HOT.

The actors playing Catelyn and Robb were amazing. I'd read the books so I knew what was coming, but yes, people who just knew the show flipped out!<br /><br />Exactly. Ricky is an artist and he tends to move in fairly sophisticated circles as a result. Granted he doesn't care for many of the people in those circles, but yes, he thinks it's made him worldly. Until he met a guy who pretty much surpassed everything he had expected he might have for himself.<br /><br />Jasper won't hurt him, but, and I'm not saying spoiler alert just yet, Ricky's cynicism about family might hurt Jasper.<br /><br />Thank you so much for reading!NernersHumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159261422405512570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-88904235845894858442013-06-27T20:02:25.698-07:002013-06-27T20:02:25.698-07:00Ricky fancies himself fairly self-assured (you kin...Ricky fancies himself fairly self-assured (you kind of have to have a thick skin in the art world) but yeah, he was so taken by surprise that he was completely and adorably flustered.<br /><br />Jasper was hesitant to just flat out ask him out because one, Branna was always there, and two, he wasn't sure if he'd be rejected. Because Ricky first came into contact with him in a professional capacity, he wasn't sure if he'd want to be more than platonic. But when he saw him alone he decided to go for it.<br /><br />Jasper is a product of his environment, he grew up with love and support and he's very caring as a result. And don't worry, you'll see plenty of him. *wink wink, nudge nudge*<br /><br />Thanks so much for reading!NernersHumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159261422405512570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-58245322139393918442013-06-27T19:45:29.364-07:002013-06-27T19:45:29.364-07:00Yeah, it's funny. Ricky does consider himself ...Yeah, it's funny. Ricky does consider himself worldly in a lot of ways, but sometimes the obvious flies over his head.<br /><br />He didn't make the first move for the very reason you stated: Branna was always around. And like Ricky, Branna can also be oblivious, and it didn't occur to her that Jasper would have any kind of issue putting the mack on Ricky when she was there. <br /><br />Yeah, Jasper actually came to me with a backstory already pretty much in place. His father was the creation of my friend Miranda, so all I really had to do was add a few more details and give him an individual voice. And he came from a home where there was a lot of love so he's naturally pretty open and caring, which Ricky didn't have as much growing up.<br /><br />And yes, he did! I really need to learn how to take better pictures.<br /><br />Thank you so much for reading!NernersHumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159261422405512570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-33579387656734824622013-06-27T19:00:16.314-07:002013-06-27T19:00:16.314-07:00I am so happy to hear you approve of how I'm w...I am so happy to hear you approve of how I'm writing Ricky.

I can understand him feeling like a third wheel around Branna and Ciaran. I know he's happy for them, but it made him even more conscious of the fact that he didn't have that special someone in his life. Lo and behold, Jasper shows up, and he was right under his nose the whole time.<br /><br />I love the way they opened up to each other. It shows that there's definitely something there, possibly long-term material. <br /><br />Hmm..I wonder where this is headed? More hot sex perhaps? Please say yes! :P<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your sinus problems. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I haven't seen any of the series though--die-hard book reader, tis I. <br /><br />Bless Ricky's adorable little heart. He's been lonely for some time now, and he and Jasper aren't in *that* much of different worlds. Both were fortunate enough to make something of themselves young...and of course, both happen to be single. I was thoroughly giggling at Ricky's responses. He comes off as so worldly and smooth and experienced, but got all twitterpated trying to interpret Jasper's advances. <br /><br />Ricky's got a sensitive side, so I hope Jasper doesn't hurt him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-87952983383340564442013-06-27T06:14:00.673-07:002013-06-27T06:14:00.673-07:00Aww Ricky was so cute.

Man oh Man Rick hold on to that one. <br /><br />I'm glad he's possibly found someone. I know he's happy for Flaky but seeing her with her guy I'm sure was hard. Nothing points out how lonely you are faster than that. <br /><br />Jasper seems really easy going and a flirt. I wonder why he waited and didn't ask Ricky out if he had the crush??? Maybe they will bring that up at a later time. <br /><br />Well other than Ricky's cute nervousness, they seemed very relaxed around each other. Jasper talking openly about his family and then Ricky talking about his. All that typical first date crap got skipped right over. Can't wait to see more of Jasper!jazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791862222656796075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402249482309589929.post-90897070125550084562013-06-27T05:40:40.560-07:002013-06-27T05:40:40.560-07:00Ok Ricky is too cute!

I had this Cheshire cat smile on my face the whole way through. <br /><br />I love that he has found someone...someone who was standing in his face the entire time! So we know Jasper was always interested in Rick, my question to him is why not make the first move? Although technically he did. He was just apparently waiting on him to be alone. Branna should have bugged out sooner so that Ricky could have some brown chicken brown cow of his own :P<br /><br />-- You know that sound that they play on sitcoms, the sound of the needle scraping across the record? I heard that sound in my head.<br /><br />I totally heard that as I read it LOL. I reread that "one of my dads" part too like Ricky's "double take" because I wasn't sure I'd seen it right. Jasper is really sweet and open with Ricky though and that right off the bat is a great sign! I already love seeing these two together and can't wait to watch their romance blossom!<br /><br />Also, did that old guy steal Ricky's tablet? Dude just because you're a senior citizen doesn't mean you can get away with shit like that!
