Jinkey...just, jinkies. I am going to go into a small dark closet now and let all the squee out.

Go Eames! Slow and steady wins the race. I like Freud the dog by the way- very compliant.

O jaw drop!AMAZING story!thank you..and yes now you are my writing story telling god/dess(?)forgive me havent checked your profile..

LOL

This is just hysterical, sweet, cute and touching:D

Well done!

Wow! This was such a sweet story. It gave me some good laughs and made my heart melt in all the right places.

This is so cute. I love it.

I'm a little late to the party, but . . . Brilliant. You have gotten that snarky-inner Alex voice down pat. You also have some of the best one-liners I've read in quite some time. That whole moving-the-furniture-to-disrupt-the-feng-shui-thing had me cry for laughing so hard. Thank you.

I loved it. I couldn't stop laughing through most of it, but even with the humor they were both perfectly in character. Nice job!

This story was absolutely amazing...besides the fact that I was almost drooling over "Bobby smell", it was so funny! It was so cute. Great job!

The first thing I have to do is apologize, because I have enjoyed this story about fifteen times and haven't reviewed it yet. I had a good reason though: This is one of the best things I have ever read and I wanted to take some time to write a proper review. This is going to be so much ridiculous gushing you are going to think it's your mother reviewing. (Pinky swear, I'm not) First of all, this reads like a regular short story instead of a fanfiction. It reminds me of some of the stories I've read by Sharyn McCrumb.

Alex's thinking is not only very in character, but sounds the way a person might think if woken up at 2 in the morning (I find this is when most good fanfiction is written). Keep in mind that I mean Alex's thinking sounds like it's 2 am, one great thing about it is that I can hear the differences in Alex's thinking/speech, Bobby's speech, and the narration. Little quips like the one about supporting the mayor's campaign give a sense of reality to the story, showing that the characters' lives aren't kept entirely in this story. Giving us the thumps and shuffles was a sign of great writing, and considerate bastard is exactly something she would think. Her frustrated thought about Psyche is smart, in character and very funny. Little touches like that and the notes to self give this story such a sweet feeling. The only thing I didn't understand in the whole story was exactly what Alex wanted to get drunk enough. Oops.

The Be(etc)p and the answering machine felt so natural to read, not to mention being very witty and entertaining. The passionate monkey sex line is the funniest thing I have ever read online, and I nearly bust a gut the first time I read it. Bobby smell and Bobby kisses are some of the sweetest funniest phrases I've read.

I can't even say how glad I am that you mentioned that he has to get himself tested for schizophrenia and that that thought is the terror of his existance: believe me, you're right about that. I don't think the potential that he could get ill is something touched on enough in these stories.

I don't know where you come up with things like Tahiti, or now in Minti-fresh blue, but they are absolutely wonderful, and the way you can have those here then go back to writing something so sweet and touching is real talent.

Will someone please tell me who Derek Jeter is? Sorry, that's not part of the review, but I'm getting really confused about that name. Moving on...

Mentioning the song "Slave" again at the end was very Dave Barry. You have some amazing talent.

You think you have finished with the gushing. But you would be wrong. Now I'm going to review Schmuck.

I think I may've forgotten to review this one. Oops. Oh, well. I adored the premise. And you've got Alex's inner thoughts down to a T.

this is great! I LOVED it! SO funny and well written! I'm impressed, you really did deserve that award :D

keep it up

Space

wow i really liked it. you did really well with keeping them in character the entire time, i loved alex's little comments and jokes...SO FUNNY. really well done.

You've managed to get into the characters in a way that I don't think I've ever seen before. Awesome job.

I am barely to the middle of the first chapter...I got to the line about Alex" fantasy of "him taking her jeans down with his teeth". Nearly dumped that hot tea on myself for laughing out loud.

May I borrow that line to work into a story somewhere? It is priceless.
