One single fact
If you could find out one single fact about every person you met, what fact would you want to know, and why?The happiest moment in their life. I know, that makes me sound like a total sap, but see, I get to know most of the other crap anyway. When you meet people - well, when I meet them, or did during the majority of my life - it's in a fighting

Subject: Why can’t we take a new name altogether, like Summers?
Though I’m becoming somewhat fond of Osborn. No, the first one was kind of an anticlimax, because I was expecting him to kill me. I had dreamt about that all summer. It was the second one that stung. Just out of curiosity, what are boarding schools like? The guy who provided me with happy-go-lucky memories had absolutely no intel on that, and there weren’t any where I actually grew up. Were you trying to get kicked out or did that sort of happen?
Tucker: my thoughts precisely. Just be careful of any rats in the near future. He can do some conjuring tricks, and that’s how he retaliated against my mother’s annoying hanger-on, only the guy who actually got bitten was his lawyer. (The hanger-on’s lawyer, not Tucker’s.)
Screwed-up relationships: in the interest of owning up, I’m going off strike here. Yes, Angel was the other guy. Not that he actually ever dated Cordy (as far as I know). But he was in love with her back then. She was also his best friend, and whether or not she was in love with him I don’t know, she never told me. But as I said before, she was the first woman I ever fell in love with, and just when I thought I’d never have a chance, she - well. You know. Anyway. Considering what you told me, there are some weird parallels there, between you and Angel, again. And Cordy and Peter, perhaps. I don’t know him, but just for the record, Angel almost killed Cordelia, but didn’t, and now they’re friends again.
Speaking of weird parallels, though: the other woman I fell in love with - other than Tracy, who was the girlfriend I got courtesy of a W&H sorceror and his fake memories - used to be in love with my other father. And before you say anything, I don’t know what it is with me and my relations and the people who date them. I truly don’t. Did I mention we’re all pretty screwed up?
Hell Hath No Fury: I should have guessed your millionaire types are all possessive. But okay, I’ll try to say monogamous.
Profit: If they actually give you that kind of money for printing the insanity - yes, sure. I’ll soon have to pay for college myself anyway, and so it could come really handy. Am curious what Kara says about splitting it, though.

Subject: How about Keating just for the sense of irony?
The question is have you grown fond of being called wonder boy yet? I can see why that would sting. I never got kicked out. My father could be in the same room and pretend I didn't exist. He was pretty talented. Boarding schools are like college in a way except you know those rich frat boy types that you probably wanted to kick the shit out of? 90% of the people in boarding schools are that type. I'm serious. Mostly it was a bunch of rich punks with a sense of entitlement and more daddy and mommy issues than you can imagine. I purposely got myself kicked out because I kept thinking he'd want me to stay. It took five schools for him to give up. Point set match to me.
Tucker: I'm standing back and letting him make an ass of himself. He's being transparent and I have confidence that Kara will see him for what he is. Now if she chooses to remain loyal to him despite the fact that he is a prick and apparently wants her for his harem, then I will just bite my tongue and respect the fact she truly is one of a kind when it comes to loyalty.
Next time on Jerry Springer: Wow. That had to be tough. You know the I never game that we won't speak of? I was so pissed because you saw right through to my core issue. See, my father adored Peter. Like if he could have found a way to adopt him or sacrificed me to make Peter his, he'd have done it without a second thought. Peter was everything my father wanted me to be and it's strange how it turned out to be his golden boy that took him out. I sometimes wonder if the reason I wanted Peter so bad was so my father couldn't have him. You and I should book a family issues tour of talk shows to go with our book tour.
Well, I think life has a sick sense of humor, man. I mean, I'm guessing you never saw either of them as a mother figure, but hey if you did I've heard of stranger things. It seems like maybe genetics came into play on both sides if that makes sense. I'm guessing you are at least somewhat like both of your fathers, one who raised you aka nurture and the other who is bound to you by genetics, aka nature. It would make sense that you would be attracted to the same type of woman they would be attracted too and if you possess certain qualities they have, then it makes sense that the woman or in your case women would be attracted to you as well.
You know the how it goes. They say boys are looking for a girl just like mom and girls want a guy just like dad. I don't know if that is true, but now you have me trying to remember my mother and debating how much she is like the people I've been attracted too. Thanks a lot, dude.
Mine: I just had this talk with Kara. I'm an only child and hopelessly spoiled. I don't share well with others, but I do believe in pampering the object of my affection or you know my friends.
Money for nothing (hah): I will bring it up to her. She's sixteen so I'm sure the mature thing for me to do would be to put her share in a trust. I don't know. I don't like the idea of treating my girlfriend like a child. Yes, I know I just left myself wide open for a variety of remarks. Have at it.
