original_post:_1/6/2006____________________________ whoomp, there it is! Just as Max was figuring out that he should probably move on, Alli realizes she probably shouldn’t have waited for Max. Forrest was also a character that I wanted to surprise people. Not just because he was gay without seeming it, but also because he would later tell her that he wants nothing to do with the absurdity of the situation. In some ways, Forrest is the most grounded character, or at least tries to be.
