1. lol, well... it's not something i've ever experienced myself, so. there are different viewpoints on nirvana. some people (myself included) believe it's not One Point you reach, but rather you get there in stages; you achieve different levels of enlightenment. so i think ryan definitely reached one of those. it was a turning point in his mind, in his awareness of himself; i think it was the moment it finally started to sink in that he was in this pretty deep, that he was falling in love, and -- more frightening still -- that that was okay! lol. ryan has such tremendous fears. but, as for The Ultimate Nirvana, no, there's no way he's in a place at this point to reach that. that's... something achieved by people in much higher spiritual planes. and ryan was right, you probably aren't going to get there by smoking weed and drinking. :P
2. no title yet; i think he mentions that in the fic. those lyrics are red's, so i guess it'll be up to her if she wants to come up with a title. ;)
3. oh, god, that's a very cool idea! i think that's something we can work on for the director's cut, definitely. i'll talk to red.
4. that scene was indeed mine, and thank you so much! it was written in about 20 minutes and then i spent about an hour editing it to get it right. it was agonizing. mostly improvised, none of it was in the outline. my best scenes always tend to follow that pattern. maybe i should plan less. ;)
ahaha, as for nicknames... not sure if the boys would really go for that, but i can see ryan calling him "bear," just... not necessarily in public. ;) but he did call keltie "monkey" in the P.O. liner notes, so who knows. it's possible... brendon totally would come up with lame nicknames, and ryan would be so embarrassed. XD
