That was awesome! Yay Scott!

It makes me wonder if successes like Scott James and Susan Doyle are merely aberrations, or if the general populace is finally getting sick of all the shiny, pretty, extroverted ideals being shoved down their throats. Wouldn't it be great if it was the latter?

I love these sorts of stories :D

I mean, the ending of them (or the real beginning, depending on how you look at it). I don't like hearing that someone was bullied into 7 years of hiding, of course.
