Caitlin, I’d like to talk with you more about this. I found your Facebook through your gravatar profile. I am going to friend request & message you there.

Hey Tara,

He was originally sent here to live with his Dad after living with his Mom in Colorado and getting in enough trouble for her to feel he could do better here. The requirements were that he had to have good behavior here. He did. He was doing unbelievably well here (friends who loved him, friends whose worst crimes were hanging out in graveyards at night singing “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” [he has the most amazing baritone, it made me die laughing], and friends who would have done anything for him), but after wearing an outfit to school that the Principal Dr Lisi, (Real name, I would love to see him suffer gangrene if Karma is true) didn’t like, he claimed Adam was a troublemaker and given the stipulations of his move to Massachusetts, just Lisi’s word was enough to have him sent home.

He was arrested for this crime less than a few months later.

Comment on Dragon Age 2 Romance – Anders versus Fenris (Guess who wins!) by Lemoness

Thanks for this blog!
I agree on almost everything. We did get robbed – not enough interaction with comrades in arms. I can’t tell how many times my character kissed Alistar in DA:O. And I loved the fact that I could drive him crazy without actually hitting on him – just by raising loyalty. And kissing him in front of Morrigan – priceless. Good times, good times.
Fenris is a great character, but to go through hundreds of quest just to hear him talk about Danarius and see him kiss Hawke once… well, it’s just so mean on Bioware’s part.
Anders is solid good too. The way he discourages Hawke from romancing him – sweet. His love for kittens – sweet. That kiss – amazing, deep, romantic. Not being able to talk to him after he moves in – just so lame. And what about “home” outfit for him?
Romantic scene with Fenris wasn’t as deeply touching for me as one with Anders. But I only had 1 scene with him so far. I shall see if it gets better.
Isabella is on fire, but playing as a female – I wasn’t moved by her passion. But the scene itself was great. Getting those knifes off of her back – I wish they would have done something similar for Fenris!

Caitlin, what do you mean sent to CO from MA? I’m going to send Adam a letter. I was in an eerily similar situation at basically the same time he was. Only I had someone in my ear begging me not to kill the guy, but to call the police instead. This was in MA in Oct-Nov 1998. Adam’s case brought up so much of the past for me…

No teenager should receive a life sentence. Their brain has not fully developed at that age. That has been proven.
Copied 2012: Right now, juveniles in California can be sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. It is a sentence to die in prison.
The US is the only country in the world that applies this punishment to youth under the age of 18.
Several hundred teens have been sentenced to life without parole in California. Under the current law, not one of them will ever have the opportunity to demonstrate that they have turned their lives around and can safely re-enter society.
If Senate Bill 9 is enacted, California will set up a strict process for a judge to examine these individuals’ lives when they are older and determine if they are rehabilitated and remorseful. If so, they will then have a chance to earn parole after serving a minimum of 25 years.

OMG, I just found this, and I so agree! Anders is wayy too whiny to be a good romance, though I do enjoy the first makeout scene with him. It makes my stomach knot up every time I see it. I wish they could have put some of that passion into Fenris. And I would have thouroughly enjoyed a chance at Knight Captain Cullen. Who doesn’t love a feisty man in uniform?

He’s all over the place & it’s actually pretty fun when you encounter one of the various characters. The actor, Gideon Emery, is on Facebook & actually VERY nice to his fans. He’ll reply to questions & comments & announces upcoming projects. I think he’s got like 10 things being released soon. If you request a signed autograph, he’ll actually personalize it & he just ran a contest that I won…a signed copy of Battlefield 3, where he is the lead character. He’s really just a lovely person.
