OK, I'm home from work and all caught up on Nickey and Jeremy.

On the way to work I heard an old favorite song on the radio.

No, not a mushy love song.  But an classic from 1982.

I had to change just one Letter in a name!   


MICKEY
- written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman
- #1 hit for Toni Basil in 1982 (released August 1982)
- lyrics as recorded by Toni Basil with cheering provided
by the 1981 Dorsey High School cheerleaders

(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey, hey Nickey)
(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey, hey Nickey)
(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey)

Hey Nickey!
You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't you say goodnight so you can take me home, Nickey

'Cause when you say you will, it always means you won't
You're givin' me the chills, baby, please baby don't
Every night you still leave me all alone, Nickey

Oh Nickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Nickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Nickey
Oh, what you do Nickey, do Nickey
Don't break my heart, Nickey

Hey Nickey!
Now when you take me by the hooves, who's ever gonna know
Everytime you move, I let a little more show
There's somethin' we can use, so don't say no, Nickey

So come on and give it to me any way you can
Any way you wanna do it, I'll treat you like a man
Oh please, baby, please, don't leave me in a jam, Nickey

Oh Nickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Nickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Nickey
Oh, what you do Nickey, do Nickey
Don't break my heart, Nickey

(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey, hey Nickey)
(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey, hey Nickey)
(Oh Nickey, you're so fine
you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nickey)

Oh Nickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Nickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Nickey
Oh, what you do Nickey, do Nickey
Don't break my heart, Nickey

Oh Nickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Nickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Nickey
Oh, what you do Nickey, do Nickey
Don't break my heart, Nickey

Are they appropriate for our Nick and Jeremy or what???

A fair bit to discuss with Nick and Jeremy.

First from a physiological point of view. Ellery seems well able to cope with Ennis’ depredations – eg pushing in with a single thrust – so presumably Jeremy body will adjust. Or perhaps each person has different pain thresholds - and Ellery does like it rough! I wince every time I read about Ennis’ bone shattering entry on that first night together.

From an emotional point of view. Obviously Nick has been subjected to exploitative, even abusive treatment, by the chief petty officer and, as so often happens, he has replicated this behaviour with others. Now he has found himself in a relationship type situation in which his sexual experience can only take him so far. And even this sexual experience has been tainted by the exploitative aspect. So even while he falls back on what he knows to further the relationship sexually, that very same experience undermines the trust aspect. Jeremy could very easily start feeling used and manipulated – that his emotional vulnerability and sexual inexperience have been exploited.

Yet things are not that clear cut. Nick found himself making a declaration of love which must have shocked and confused him. He knows his past behaviours are not appropriate in a proper relationship but he doesn’t have any other models of behaviour to follow – so ironically Jeremy will have to take the lead here – as he begins to demonstrate in that last chapter. But Jeremy has been in a state of sexual and emotional confusion himself so it may be the blind leading the blind for a while.

Jeremy will probably have to be the one to set the right tone for the relationship  - if indeed that is what it is going to be - or whatever interaction they have in the future, and perhaps act as a healing influence in Nick’s life. He is a very loving and decent man with a bit more emotional maturity than Nick. Once he gets his bearings again he may be the one to take the lead.

Ooo!  One of my fave retro hits! 
Very fitting indeed!

A fair bit to discuss with Nick and Jeremy.

Jo .. great points as always! 

In his past sexual relationship, Nick was the prey and how he wants to shift from that position to become the hunter.  But it is not so simple to change gears because he has feelings for Jeremy that he has not experienced before.  They are new to him and he is feeling confused and insecure.  In the last chapter he wonders if he is even worthy of Dupree.  Seeing as Dupree himself has never been in love before, he does not know whether his budding feelings are love or lust (seeing as they have been having a very intense, physical relationship).

I love what Louise is doing with her characters, they are not one-dimensional and certainly not black and white!

Ooo!  One of my fave retro hits!

I was singing along in the car on my way to work when I realized the lyrics were all about Nick and Jeremy!   

Then of course it hit me that it should be Hey Nickey, not hey Mickey!

[louisev]

*whew!*  I'm glad you folks didn't get out the pitchforks before I got a chance to give a glimpse into what I was doing with Licky Nicky!  I had to find out the verdict on whether Nick was coming across as the complicated character he is.  It is all well and good for Lance to size people up in terms of the sharpness of their shark teeth for his own purposes, but that is a relatively simplistic view - but then again, Lance's perspective reflects his own rather more simple demands of life and of lovers.

That was really insightfull. thanks. .. the situation is really complex.
