Jody, I've been so swamped with life beyond MSCL too that I haven't read your stories in a while. You see, that's how I keep myself preoccupied when I'm craving these characters and their world, but I'm not in the mood to view "Why Jordan Can't Read", for instance, for the hundreth time. I look forw...

I think that much more time would have to pass before Jordan emerges from his malaise and engages with the world. I completely agree. Jordan takes baby steps in the series towards caring about others than himself, but it would take years to chip away enough at his stoic shield for him to become pas...

Jody, are you working on an episode #25 after "Turn and Face the Strain"? Your fanfiction is the best I've read, especially because of the way you capture the essence of Catalano, and I simply cannot get enough! I also loved the way you handled Brian and Rayanne's fling. After "Halloween", I've been...

I know the last post was about four years ago (oh, how time flies), but I just want to say that I understand Jordan. He does act like a jerk, but these behaviors are learned. His futile attempts at connecting with Angela are big events for him, too, because he views sensitivity as a weakness. To mak...

This is one of my favorite episodes. After reading that Winnie would have made Angela more politically active in a second season, I wonder if Jordan would have become closer to Angela or turned off to her because of it. Jordan was genuinely excited by Mr. Racine, enough to call out to the other stud...

The Clash will always have a place in my heart. Me too! When I put on The Essential Clash DVD in the background or listen to any of their music while trying to do something else, I always end up abandoning my task to dance and sing along. The Clash were/are special. For me, they can never be topped...

Interesting article. Thanks!

I'm not offended by any challenge of my ideas. What source are you paraphrasing in regards to the Clintons making a deal to run Obama? I'd love to check it out for myself. I wouldn't put it passed Hillary and Bill to do something like that. After the underhandedness involving Hillary's campaign fina...

I'm a political cynic. In my 24, going on 25 years of life, I've never once trusted a politician. There's something about Barack Obama that draws me in, and through the political darkness I feel hope. Genuine hope. I don't want to get caught up in the excitement of a charismatic man, only to be disa...

I totally agree with you! Wow, I really don't think I could've said it better myself. Jordan is a guy who lost out on a lot in life; he's always done things because he thought he had no other choice and that he'd never fit in anywhere else. When he meets Angela, I really believe he started to think...

Thank you! Wow. I hadn't thought about Devon Gummersall actually being into Claire Danes. So it must not have been hard to act jealous when she was making out with Jared Leto. Speaking of Jared, he must have been an awesome make out teacher. They probably practiced a lot off screen to prepare for th...

Yeah, if only we knew rumors.

That's the two sentence version. There's a longer one I could cook up if anyone wanted to hear it. I know this message is old... But, yeah, I want to hear it. Here's my take on Brian and Angela: Brian's affections are reassuring to her, but I don't think Angela would be the best lover for him. I'm ...

I love the whole Angela and Jordan scenario and I am too a HR and I know we all have our different interpretations of what we ALL saw but I want to believe that he truly had feelings for her. Me too. I had a conversation with my closest friend on New Years while we waited for the clock to strike mi...

1. anyone notice that angela baasically invited herself to the band practice? quite cheeky if you ask me :) Haha. Yeah, she did, but I think Jordan was hinting that she should come. With his "whatever happens, happens" philosophy, he didn't want to make too big a deal out of it though. Did you noti...
