I've seen the ones I was shipped with...
It took a lot to get those images out of my mind.
Mojo:
God, this one depressed me, because it describes my life exactly.
GarandMarine:
I kinda like the description of Marten's life style as a California zen "The Dude abides" sorta thing. Strikes me as pretty spot on.

--- Quote from: techkid on 07 May 2013, 05:02 ---But would it be in Angus' character to just up and go like that? He loves Faye, and knows her history with her father, and as such would have an inkling of what could likely happen if he did leave her behind (which could probably be more dramatic than mere drama).
But that being said, Faye will definitely feel like a bitch for not letting Angus pursue his dreams. But can she then just up and leave her social circle that she had a hard enough time to build (admittedly it is only about 3 hours away (Google Maps is my friend...)), and build a new life in New York?
How the hell do you compromise in that situation?

In some cases, I don't think you can compromise. Love is great and all. But giving up your dream when you still have no real attachments (kids, etc) is character destruction. You're begging out on your development, desires, and happiness...I'd be very disappointing if Angus just gave up his dream. Not healthy. So, not sure if there's a compromise. One person has a family she feels comfortable with and may not want to part from. The other wants to follow a dream....I hate seeing people kill off their dreams just to stay with someone. So I'd rather Angus pursue his dream.
And I hope he still goes to that comedy interview gig thing.
onefish:
Man, I *knew* everyone would be mad at either Jeph or Faye/Dora about this one.
But look. Faye might actually be reasonably content where she is. Marten genuinely IS aimless and kind of vaguely wants to "do more," probably musically, but hasn't really done it (though I had thought he was sorta taking steps). Faye and Dora are poking fun with love, and have talked with Marten about this--they're not sniping at him or putting him down.
Also, I know the QC timeline is not *perfectly* clear, but there is no way Dora and Marten broke up "almost immediately."
