Beth: I'm glad my ideas about Sir's cigars amused you. ^^ Gerald would refuse to eat chili for years to come! The names you chose for his kids are great, too. Will you be doing interviews for them as well? My goodness, but Sir is such an ego-maniac! Was his "I'm the Boss!" line ever mentioned in the books? If not, it should have been.! He was such a jerk in canon, but his comment about Gerald being sweet makes one question just how deeply that negative attitude really goes. Something tells me Lumbermill Day is something Sir made up. XD Michelle: I imagine Maureen looks awesome, with all her tattoos and piercings, and her eye color sounds beautiful. It's interesting that she would have the names of her parents tattooed on her right shoulder blade. I'm planning to get the name of my late aunt with her birth and death dates tattooed on my left shoulder blade, eventually.

Hi, Seymour, formerly known as Freebird! I love that your first interview in Michelle's new interview thread is for Jerome. His answers to questions 3 and 9 in particular are definitely things I picture him saying. "Margaret" is perfect for Justice Strauss' first name. I hope you're planning to do an interview with Seymour in the future. ^^ Hooray for our two Jeromes sharing the same middle name!

Seymour: Your Seymour sounds like such a nice guy. What happened that he broke his arm? Michelle: You know, I think Vince gets cooler and cooler with every new post you make about him. I'm not sure if it's the words, or the way I imagine his tone to sound, but I think anyone who has it in mind to judge them would feel pretty foolish after hearing words as powerful as those. He changes the color of his braces according to school spirit and holidays! OMG LOVE.

Emma: He fell off his skateboard. No. He has some French, Italian, and Irish mixed in. But for the most part, he is German. Does he have a parent or grandparent who immigrated from Germany? I'm just asking because my mom's family is 100% German and they never called Christmas "St. Nicholas Day." I'm sure my great-grandparents might have because they were German immigrants.

There is a separate St. Nicholas Day on December 6th. I live in an area with a high concentration of German-American people, and I know a lot of people who celebrate St. Nicholas Day. Vince's dad is from Germany. Vince's mom is half German, quarter Italian, eighth Irish, and eighth French.

beth: What a doll Charles is! Awww. ^^ It's nice that he has a tight relationship with Sir's two daughters, but unfortunate that they don't acknowledge the relationship between their father and his partner. Considering what Sir said about his ex-wife, I expect that has a lot to do with it. I'm glad coming out was the exact opposite for Charles. I think I can guess why that is. But yeah, kissing someone who smokes, especially as much as Sir does, is the grossest thing in the world. Hopefully Charles had one of those pocket-sized bottles of mouth wash on hand at the time. XD

@seymour: That poor kid! Falling off one's skateboard sounds very painful, especially if it's moving. By the way, I'm sorry for not replying earlier. I only just now saw your answer to my question.
@ Michelle: I'm glad that Willow, Vince and Reverie were able to get their own place relatively quickly. I also congratulate Willow and Vince for getting through school with excellent grades, which could not have been easy while raising a child.

That actually clears things up for me.
