Why this story must be read:

As the author says: Normal is relative.

I adore this Clark's relationship with mother. When I think of Clark and Martha, this is how I see them interacting. Teasing. Loving. Normal.

Clark is still having problems with stopping without falling when using his superspeed, and can't quite get the hang of walking when he's using his x-ray vision. I love the idea of Clark practicing his new powers and thinking he looks dorky doing it.

I also love the semi-honesty in his relationship with Lex (which leads to some good sex). No, Clark doesn't tell Lex he's an alien, he just tells Lex about his feelings. This story makes me think about could have beens.

This story is a perfect Sunday afternoon read.

Oh cool. I lost my email and for some reason I thought there was a 15 rec limit. I was afraid I was never going to reach it after going on vacation for a week. Whew!

So now all I have to do is the video rec on the last day of the month, right?

Vids are last Friday of the month, so this Friday. I'll put up a reminder on Thursday. Thanks!
