Since I am a nooooob, I had trouble before. I think I may have figured it out!

"It’s also funny to note DM writes this to a bully who teases all the girls. Is he jealous that this dude interacts with the girls more or just protective?"

Easy, DM is the gay boy who is friends with all of the girls and who will stand up to the bully for them with some witticisms and a snap. *Nod* (I just have witticisms so, really, I couldn't pull that off).

Also, did Ann write this one or was it a ghostwriter? Because holy hell did they make Logan the worst person alive. Every book I've read with him in it he's been fine and yet in this one he is a controlling creeper. Just... What? I mean, I can't expect much since the author(s) make everyone hate Jenny and love Karen so they clearly have no logic and shit-ton of bias, but still.

<3 I love DM. My favorite BSC sibling along with Andrew! (that's not saying much, I know)

According to what I could find online, Ann wrote this one herself. I've never seen him acting like this in any other book. IIRC, when they rekindle the relationship he's perfectly nice. (Going off of this book I thought it would be advisable to caution MA to run though :P )In every other book I recall him being fine. So I don't know what's up with this one. To show that MA can be "strong" or something. I'll re-read the FF snark someone did of the big break up and see what happened there. All I remember is that they both cry.

DM is my favorite character pretty much.

Yeah, Ann, you may want to rethink how you completely 180'd a character for the sole purpose of some really awkward lesson. Puberty only screws you up so much.

Halloween III is this piece of shit called Season of the Witch, and is literally one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. It has nothing to do with Michael Myers, and the most memorable thing about it is a Halloween mask jingle set to the tune of "London Bridge Is Falling Down," which sounds like it's being sung by the Chipmunks and is as prolonged, synthy, and obnoxious as humanly possible. The fact that there is even a reference to it in this book is just hilarious to me. Even as bad slasher films goes, it's the pits.

Is this guy high? . . . . Mr. P has to tell HIM to go check his truck for the right one because the guy just stands there all herp derp on the steps like it’s no big deal.

Dying over here. Great snark (and icon)!

I wonder if Kristy really said "What's wrong, Karen?" or if she actually said FOR THE LOVE OF PETE WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM like I would have, after Karen's fifteenth faked sigh.

^This! So much this! I would have been laughing my ass off at some dumb kid emoing it up over their fake husband. But I'm a huge jerkass at times and especially with kids.

My dad is a Type 1 brittle diabetic, and he doesn't have to watch his diet so carefully now, because he has an insulin pump. But in 1991 or so? Yeah, he really could never eat a bite of candy (unless his sugar was really low and needed to be brought up) and he had to be extremely careful with exercise and carb counting, and he *still* had major highs and lows in his blood glucose. For a while, I was calling an ambulance for him just about every month, because his sugar would go high and then crash really low and he'd pass out and convulse.

He never had to watch out for processed cheese though.

Same with my husband's first wife. She was a brittle diabetic since birth. Basically, she was everything that Stacy said diabetics are. Then again, most young folks are Type 1 diabetics and it's really awful. Unfortunately, she passed away at age 28 from her diabetes.

EDIT: My husband does agree that maybe in BSC land "diabetes" is really just code for gohnasylphilherpelaids. In the Marines, they were told to watch out for catching ALL THE STDS!

[awishfuldreamer]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm really sorry to hear about your husband's first wife, how awful. I've heard about people having major diabetes and passing away young and now I definitely understand what it is to be "brittle" more than before. I know we laugh about Stacey and the one M&M and Ann throwing in that detail to correct herself, but what a terrible thing. My friend just got diagnosed as Type 1 and he almost ended up in a diabetic coma because he had a terrible diet and walked around without knowing he had it. Now he takes insulin shots five times a day and is doing a lot better.

I love the STD comparison, ha!

[sidndnancy]

I don't think she would have fainted had she had an M&M but her blood sugar was hard to control. My BFF works for the American Diabetes Association and she also said that kids with diabetes do have a harder time keeping their blood sugar in check. Party it's because they forget and partly is because their bodies don't know what to do.

Seriously though, I think Stacy just had something funky that she picked up from that 40 year old lifeguard she mooned over. ;)

This. What's WITH that? :/ No wonder MA assumed they were going to see The Music Man, she probably didn't think they would get into Halloween. They shouldn't have.

[duchess_julia]

In what theater would both of those movies be playing at the same time in the early 90's?

[momofquacker]

I don;t think it is the same theater. Logan said that they will be going to see Halloween III and MA says "I thought we were going to the Music Man at the oldies theater?" so.. stoneybrook has 2 theaters?

As for two 13 year olds getting into an R rated movie.. depends on the theater. The town I grow up in we had a little 4 screen theater and they didn't care about ID. I went and saw Jerry Maguire in the theater when i was 12 which is rated R. As wells as many other R rated movies before I turned 17. So i can picture a small theater/small town not caring much as long as they have money
