Chapter 3: The Guys
"How then, you might ask, do you believe a narrator who openly admits that he's going to lie to you as much as possible? It's like trying to read Catcher in the Rye, but with less soul-searching and a lot more gay sex. Well, hopefully. I mean, one always hopes for a lot more gay sex." – Jay, J-5ive, from "The Memoirs of Jay-5ive: I Was A Teenage Pop Idol."
[I told them it was a mistake to let Jude watch The Island, and I was right, because now he's convinced that his clone (or Ewan McGregor's—Jude's theories are never very clear or understandable) is going to show up on his doorstep. They can write music in their underwear together, and if their robot sex slave revolts, there's always the panic room.]
Chapter 2: The Rules
"I really think relationships, like serious ones? Are just too hard for famous people. Because like, it's all, the press on you constantly, and you can't go to dinner or have a date or make a sex tape without someone finding out, you know? And at the end of the day, is it like, even worth it when you're under that much scrutiny that you can't even tape yourself having sex? It just sucks, man. It totally sucks." -Jude, J-5ive, from a 2002 interview in Rolling Stone
[So I wake up, and it's another hotel room. Just an anonymous hotel room like all the other hotel rooms I've spent half of my life sleeping in, except really lavish, with like, fake Louis XIV furniture and these crazy fur rugs all over the place, and someone forgot to close the drapes last night so the sun is like, really fucking bright. Oh, and there's a heart-shaped hot tub in the corner, and a passed out born again pop princess lying next to me on the bed.]
That's right bitches, the last character sketch is UP over at

mellymbrosia. Just a reminder that my original fiction over at that journal is locked, so let me know if you want to read it and I will friend you.[How then, you might ask, do you believe a narrator who openly admits that he's going to lie to you as much as possible?

Character Sketch - Jude
[Jude is possibly the most incomprehensible person I have ever met. Sometimes I think he's such a genius I just can't understand him, but mostly I think he's vaguely retarded, and out of all of us, needs to be on some serious medication. But really, it's not his fault. That's just what happens when you grow up in a cult.]
For those of you who haven't been paying attention, this is at my original fiction journal,
mellymbrosia, which is locked. But I haven't turned anyone away yet, so you know. Do that thing.Also, Gilmore Girls premiers tonight! Does anyone know if the rumors re: Jared being in a few episodes are true or not?

Character Sketch - Jesse
( Out of all of us, Jesse was the mean one. I guess most people would say he was the bad boy, all motorcycle-riding, leather-wearing, tattooed and pierced to within an inch of his life kind of guy. But I just thought he was a fucking asshole. )
In other news, so I was reading on MTV.com the other day about the 15th anniversary of Nevermind, which I would say is arguably the most significant and influential album since, I dunno, the Beatles maybe. And then last night I went to see The US vs JOHN LENNON, and it really sort of shocked me, ( both to realize just exactly how crazy paranoid Richard Nixon was, but also how different and strange my generation is. )
Okay, I'm done rambling now. Back to the grind.

mellymbrosiaSo if you want to read it, go over there, friend the journal, etc. Everyone will get friended back. I'd post it here, but I like to have all my original fic in a journal I don't care about so that, in the unlikely event that I ever get published, I can just delete the journal and be done with it. And yes, it will all be locked. I'll link stuff from here, so you don't have to watch the journal. With that in mind, here's the first character sketch.
Jamie: The thing about Jamie is, he's completely insane. No, really. You look at him and think, "Awww, he's so cute and cuddly," or well, that's what I think, but probably most people just want to fuck his cute little brains out. And he's a sweet guy, too. Super nice. Like, tooth ache nice, until you (and by 'you' I really mean 'I') just want to punch him in the face until he really, really understands that the world isn't all rainbows and sunshine and hugs and puppies. His eternal optimism is almost nauseating, and what's worse is that he has perfectly good reasons for his fucking always cheerful attitude. That bastard.
