layout malaise
I think I changed my layout about 10 times the last couple days; finally settled on this as the least offensive. (1. If a layout doesn't let me edit the sidebar, I want nothing to do with it. 2. Apparently I really like pink and green together at this time of year, because iirc it was the end of winter when I last adopted that color scheme.) But srsly, LJ, maybe it is time to load up some new layouts? Because every time I look for a new one I fee like I've seen every preview about 500 times. I guess they're too busy running header contests to have another style contest or something. And don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying this chickadee right now, but I have other needs and zero design skills, help a girl out.
Moving on: For some reason today I was thinking of this old rant, and I wondered if said sequel had ever been published. And, lo and behold, it lives! (And has since last fall. Where have I been?) So I check out the reviews to see if I am going to bother with this or not. In the first review I see this:
Yeah, I am not going to read that. EVER. I'm not even sure which paragraph turns me off more.
However, I continue to read the reviews and you gotta love stuff like
and
haha, oh man, I haven't even read this book and I hate it with a fiery passion. I'm sorry, fellow fans of fidelity who read this book, thanks for taking one for the team. I only wish I could do more than marking your review as helpful.

So I check out the reviews to see if I am going to bother with this or not. In the first review I see this:
As David is forced to prostitute himself to a sadistic government official to obtain information about Callan's whereabouts, Callan and his fellow prisoners endure torture, disease, and death as they attempt to hold onto hope and remain true to themselves.
Though both young men eventually find comfort in the arms of another, it is their enduring love and faith in each other that carries them through their tremendous hardships.

What ruined everything for me was David falling completely in love with another man while being completely in love with Callan! No guilt, no second thoughts, just total abandon to his desires. And Callan's reaction to it at the end? Come on! I would be hurt beyond words if my husband did that.
and
Then he invites his new love to join him to get Callan. Oh yeah that would have went over wonderfully. "Sorry you've been suffering love! Here's a guy that's gonna live with us and sleep with me because I love him too! Doesn't diminish how I feel about you. Promise!"
