To help keep things organized, I am reposting the most up to date versions of all The Weight of Love videos I have so far. Hopefully this makes it easy to watch and follow along in the timeline of the story, especially for new members that may not know where to start :)

(Episode 1) Chapters 1 - 4

Quotes:

"End is near, the plague in comin'!" - Mystical Homeless Man

"Hey you're like really hot." - Catcaller #2

"I have trouble getting close to people." - Autumn

Notes:

-Was really happy with the way chapter 4 turned out. Figured out a few new things...when Autumn tries to squeeze into those jeans she outgrew since being with Mike.

-'Neumos', as seen in chapter 1, is a small music venue in Seattle, just blocks away from where Mike and Autumn live. Neumos was home to many memorable music performances and a place where up and coming bands performed on their way up, including; No Doubt, The Presidents of The United States of America, Pearl Jam, Oasis, The Wallflowers, Garbage, The Goo Goo Dolls, Bush, and countless others.

-When Autumn tries to hop up on the ledge to have a cigarette with Mike, she gets confused and frustrated because she can't do it. She's already heavier than she as ever been in her life, having put on significant weight since her injury, and her body isn't used to it, not to mention a touch of muscle atrophy. She still thinks of herself as the somewhat athletic 130 something pound girl she used to be. When she says "God I'm so...", she was going to finish with "out of shape."; but she didn't want Mike to think that she was getting chubby or anything...

-I liked the way Mike was dead set on making sure Autumn got her dessert after he did the dishes on that rainy night. :)

-Liked the way Autumn and Mike joined hands when the homeless man startled them. The first time a couple starts holding hands in a new relationship always seems special and romantic to me.
