I'm starting off! Let's run this shit into the ground, alizep !

( It's so ironic but not too corporate, yet. )

Heehee I love it! Am I really supposed to hate Ace, because I always kind of loved him in Sailor V, and even your characterization of him makes me kind of love him in a perverse way. Your heavy inserting of brand names and pop culture very much remind me of Douglas Coupland if you have heard of him, and this story particularly gives me vibes of his book Shampoo Planet, which is about a post-hippie kid who aspires to be as shallow and consumerist and corporate as his mother is not.

Ace is definitely underexplored, but the only way I know how to use him is as a plot device. And I'm going to check out that book!

He totally is. But now you make me want to see him strutting around in skinny jeans and headphones.

Do check it out! It's pretty dated, though, as it's from way back in 1992. If you want real bombardment of pop-culture ridiculousness, I recommend jPod.

Oh my God he's EVIL. I hate him, I hate him like I hate Woody Allen for being a comic genius, but one I can't like because he practically married his daughter.

If there's one type of person that just irritates me, it's the hypocrytial, pretensious, self-righteous indie who buy STARBUCKS and uses and iPhone. Get OVER the fact that you're a whiny b!tch who's jealous at other peoples' success!

Can you tell that I love this piece already? Every little detail is genius.

I LOVED this! And I am so jealous that your half started out better than my half....I'm working on something though. It's going to be a tough call. Your Adonis' pretentiousness might be too much for my Adonis to bear....

Oh please. Your Adonis kills and eats people. Mine collects vinyl and drinks Starbucks and High Life. The only way Ace will win is if he annoys your Adonis to death.

Your Adonis kills and eats people
Hey now! He doesn't eat people - he only eats their souls. This is how rumors get started.

The only way Ace will win is if he annoys your Adonis to death.
It's like you are in my head. :)
