Aw!!! I miss Hoogie something fierce!

Actually, I think it is happy weight. He's (allegedly) been with his man for three years now, and that's all good love he's carrying around his middle. No young single man would let himself go like that unless he's gotten comfortably domesticated.

Well, you're right. Doesn't make me like him, however. ^^;;

I don't hate him -- loved him as a swimmer, and friends who've met him say he's not douchey like he comes off. But seriously, dude has to totally stop the asinine press releases denying any of this, whether it's true or not. It really makes him look like an ass.

I can agree with that. With all of it. You have to respect him as a swimmer, so. I like Ian the swimmer. I don't like Ian the celebrity. Heh.

I made a post to ONTD_O yesterday about the weight thing, complete with pics. It was shocking! I wasn't expecting it when I checked out my usual list of gossip sites and there, scrawled all across the page is fat Ian Thorpe. It's sad; I like him, for no other reason than he used to be very fit and has a lovely accent (I am shallow, yes). Buuuut, whatever!

I like your Pieter a lot. :) He's a lot different than the others who have written him as the ever-sweet, victimized Dutchman. Change is nice.

Favorite lines!

Pieter rolls over; above him Ian's eyes are bloodshot and ugly. Who said that eyes are windows to the soul?

He reaches out and touches his fingers to Ian's lips. Eyes close and there, for a moment, is the man that Pieter had loved once.

That's all from me for now... Haha.

^_^ Thanks. I don't know the ever-sweet, victimized Dutchman... don't read much fanfic. Maybe I'll have to try it some time. I can see it--he's got a sweet face. ^^

Oh, this was wonderful and makes me wish that Thoogie would come back.
As much as I love Ian Thorpe, I love seeing him knocked down, and your Pieter was wonderful and sad but not of being pathetic and moony... if that makes any sense.
I always like your sad stories the best, I don't know what that says about me.

*laughs* Ian just sorta makes it easy, I guess. Glad you liked. ^__^ <333

I had a friend who linked me to the pictures, so I don't know what people are saying. *shrug* It's just a shock seeing a man who was in such wonderful physical shape loose that much definition. People will get over it.

And thanks. ^_^ There might be more Pieter/Michael to come.

Also, gotta give the icon props. Eheheh.

Still, don't know who any of these people are. And that's totally fine by me. ;)

But, girl, you're on a roll. Yay for you! It's good to see you writing.

P.S. The p-spot always loves you! ;)

*laughs and smooshes* <3333333333

Glad to be writing, and always happy to have you reading. For the intellectual and literary stimulation, of course. ^_^

P.S. Someday soon I'll come and rock the p-spot. I swear it.
