Ohhh, man... I had this big long reply typed out to you but then LJ decided to eat it! *cries* So I'm going to do it again, but of course it isn't going to be the same... *g*
Anyway, I loved these sentences, and I picked out a few favorites to talk about. :)
They aren’t really good with telephones, because everything they want to say can only be said in person. I liked this one because I think you hit Ryan/Colin on the head... So much of what they say isn't done with words-- it's through touch, gestures, looks... So I could see that as a reason why they're uncomfortable speaking on the phone. :)
They shorten each other’s name in public, but once they’re in private they ditch names all together. I don't know, I just love the idea of them not needing to even use each other's names... It's just... romantic. Or at least, I think it is. *g*
They’re onstage and making people laugh and Colin watches the moment stretch and stretch and still knows it’ll be over in a few seconds. I thought this was beautiful! I know that there have been moments in my life that seem to last forever, but really they're only a few seconds, and I can see Colin thinking something like this about being onstage with his best friend, doing his favorite thing-- making people laugh.
One time Drew brought them all out to an aquarium, just to see Colin try to keep track of Brad. Hee! I just think this whole series of sentences with Brad at the aquarium is a hoot. You should try and make it into a full-blown fic if you're ever stumped for ideas... I know I would certainly enjoy it. :) I can just picture crazy Brad on the loose! *g*
It’s bright in the morning, and Colin watches the sun light up Ryan’s hair. I don't know, I just liked the imagery in this one. And the one about the moonlight in Colin's eyebrows made me laugh, 'cause of course, he doesn't have any hair, so Ryan had to look elsewhere... *g*
Colin never knew Ryan had an affinity for astronomy, but he quickly gets used to early morning calls to come see the andromeda galaxy! This one is my favorite, 'cause it reminds me of ES and Ryan's love of the stars. :) It just makes me happy when other people write about Ryan/Colin and stars. I don't know. *helpless look*
I give these sentences the official Colin Thumbs Up! :D

Have you ever lived with an astronomer? My Dad's one, so he'll drag the family out at 1AM to see a little dot in the sky sometimes...*g*
And yes, Ryan/Colin should be/is written in the stars...:)
*glances back and forth, then pets Colin when she thinks no one's looking...*
