Well since one of the items is technically a bit more private, I'll just focus on the second item which ... some may or may not agree with me on.

So, did you guys catch another thing ... unNathan-ish about that fiancé (WHOA) tweet? Little Google search reveals that Grangestone 25 is a scotch/whiskey blend. I think this is the first time Nathan's publicly acknowledged on his Twitter that he's drinking. However, that isn't to say he hasn't been completey quiet on IG since last October. Doug Brochu makes a bunch of homemade beers and meads, both of which Nathan occassionally happily comments about. (IG Link 1 & IG Link 2)  There was also a fan pic on the night before his last mall signing in November, in which the lady said she was happy to serve "Freddie" a beer. (Plus, we all saw the wine and champagne in the engagement picture.)

Okay, let me just say that typically I wouldn't have an issue with this. He's grown, and there's nothing wrong with having a drink here and there. However, it's the timing that concerns me. He didn't seem to show an interest in alcohol until the obsessive/desperate behavior started to kick in post-Nadisen breakup and post-ITS slump. Also around this time, it felt like his tweets were constantly focused on not only "MUST FIND THE ONE - CHASE CARLY" but also on the idea that he had to act a certain way in order to appear to be an adult. I just don't like the idea that he might have eaned toward drinking in order to cope with whatever issues he was dealing with last fall ... which seem to be rolling over into now. Also, is it just me, or does scotch/whiskey seem a bit strong for a happy relaxed celebration? Maybe I'm concerned over nothing, but that detail just adds another layer to everything that's going on lately.

I still wish Nathan wasn't so obsessed on finding the one so fast and early. Looking at everyone in his family's history ... that never seemed to be the trend. Neither of his older brothers are engaged or married, and his parents didn't marry until their late 20s/early 30s either I believe. And I think Cheetah mentioned it earlier, but why isn't he looking at college!?! His dad's a UCLA grad, his mom graduated from Mississippi State. Kevin has a bachelor's in theology, and Andrew received his Masters (I keep thinking in Poli-Sci but I may be mistaken) at John Hopkins University. He used to talk about different college paths when he was on iCarly, but that seemed to disappear afterward. I just wish he'd find something outside of this relationship that'd give him some sort of stability and balance.
