Cinera 2008-07-10 ch 1,	This is so sporadically beautiful! I don't believe I spelled that right. Anywho, you fit the concept of random thought really well into this story. It flowed well and didn't sound forced. Awesome.
xxbloody-heartsxx 2008-06-20 ch 1,	You have this absolutely incredible way of creating characters that relate so perfectly. Like, each characters insecurities stem from completely different experiences, but the fact is that they're such common insecurities in all of us that it just kinda stabs at my heart, because I feel the same as them. Maybe for different reasons, but it's all the same. It's a little bit beautiful. I may just be feeling sappy, though.
Naomi Schemer 2008-06-17 ch 1,	M..I like this guy. I like all of the imagery as well, but I'm sure everyone who reads this will. Mostly, I'm interested in the character...and as always, I wouldn't mind learning more about him but I say that about most of your one-shot characters, don't I? Oh, but one thing I have to say: "He doesn’t even have to pay a dime for the fuckin’ rhyme which is sugar line wrapped in time and he says STOP." This line reads out just like beat poetry. Well, the whole story does, but this one jumped out at me.

nonaccount 2008-06-16 ch 1,	I love your use of language in this oneshot, story, ramble ... whatever it is. :) The heat "sucked up and spit back dank moisture." I don't know if that was intentional or not, but that line had me thinking about tea, or black tea, specifically. So whether it was intentional or not, I liked it. "it'd been sweet-cold in the shop but heat sapped the strap and nothing snapped back but warm tea and ginger honey." Perfect description of the inability of ice-cold beverages to remain anyting but un-thirst-quenchingly luke warm in the oven months. Plus, I like the alliteration and rhyme in "sapped" "strap" and "snapped". More loveliness, "he was the Cowardly Lion in high school but never, ever went onstage. [...] he dated all the scarecrows in high school. Well, in his head he did. Romantic chamomile and lusty propositions and nobody ever propositioned him." I guess chamomile is romantic, isn't it? But then, I've never liked it. I much prefer Earl Grey for any and all romantic escapades. Actually, Earl Grey is ideal for any and all escapades that require wakefullness and ambulatory movement. Yeah ...
the Berserker 2008-06-16 ch 1,	'Food was fun but mostly boring, and he ate because his body told him to.' Wonderful. That's all that can be said about it.
Erisah Mae 2008-06-15 ch 1,	This is very interesting- a miasma of disjointed imagery that runs together to create a character portrait in a very distinctive character voice. I enjoyed the originality. Very nice work. Erisah
PhaithMcCoy 2008-06-15 ch 1,	You read "Lost Souls"?!?! OH MY GOD! You are my favoritist person in the world now. I thought I was the only one who read that! Very good, btw. I loved the story.
SerialXLain 2008-06-15 ch 1,	Well, that kind of made my head hurt. I liked it... The different words for killing time. The style that...made my head hurt. And the Wizard of Oz stuff 'cause I'm a Wizard of Oz liker. I love PZB. :) And the fact that I finally have you on alerts. I don't know why I didn't do that sooner. I was always like "DAMN IT. I MISSED ANOTHER XANTH POST" and then was too lazy to read it. BUT NOW. NOW! That's over, man. OVER. /idiotic rambling xo
