Good read, I actually completely forgot about the lack of promised superheroes, comics and fan fiction until you mentioned it in the end!

Wow.

Nothing I can say can add to this, or do it justice.

I am waiting with baited breath to see the next installment here. Incredible, simply ... incredible.

Thank you so much for writing this,

Take it and run,

It doesn't need to have comics or superheroes in it to be good writing. Just more of this.
Looking forward to the next installment...

Said it before, and bound to say it again:

this is why I read this blog.

Damn compelling piece of writing, and I'm looking forward to part two.

Perry, that reminds me of a girl named Tamara, a friend of a friend... Beautiful, smart, and also went to Georgetown.

I knew her (in Atlanta) for months, and when I found out she was about to leave for Georgetown, I invited her out to dinner to say goodbye. As I dropped her off, I admitted that I'd wanted to ask her out for awhile, but was scared to. She told me (nicely) that I'd been a fool, and wasted a chance, and now she was leaving.

It was the first time in my nerdy life that a really attractive woman had told me I had something to offer. Changed my life, it did...

Gotta agree with KMFPL, whether you planned it that way or not, that's a hell of a 'to be continued'.

On the lighter side, this...

â€œHow did you never have the guts to talk to this girl? Sheâ€™s a TREKKIE! Together you could have RULED HIGH SCHOOL!â€

...had me rolling on the floor!

Well, I'm enthralled now. Take your time and post the rest when you're ready.

That's a hell of a cliffhanger, Greg. One HELL of a cliffhanger. You had me on the edge of my seat, dying to know what comes next, and then.... To be continued!

Thanks for sharing something so personal. Can't be easy to write. Take your time and tell the story right. I don't care if it takes three weeks....

(sorry if that seems like belittling a very personal story, it was a very touching read, i just had to say it)

i did think she was going to turn around and say 'face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot' in the middle.
