Life in quotes
Things that are running through my head right now:
"I am Vindicated.
I am Selfish.
I am Wrong.
I am Right.
I swear I'm Right
I swear I knew it all along.
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well.
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself."

A scene from a near final, if not actually final, west wing episode that I haven't seen in full yet: CJ: 'I don't know...' (maybe spoilerish, but from how many years ago?)'>
Toby: "You didn't pick him up in a bar last Thursday, you've been close for eight years."
CJ: "That doesn't mean it magically falls into place once we take the leap.... What? I'm not resisting."
Toby: "You're not?"
CJ: "I'm not one of those women who can't handle a good thing when it's standing in front of them."
Toby: "Good."
CJ: "Why don't you sound convinced?"
Toby: "You spend your whole life working for powerful, demanding men 24/7, that's a lot of testosterone in your world."
CJ: "Which has what to do with anything?"
Toby: "Well, maybe you didn't need to date - you had Josh and Sam and me... and 180 reporters flirting with you day in and day out."
CJ: "Come on."
Toby: "It's a lot of positive male attention. Now you're slotting in Matt Santos, maybe Frank Hollis."
CJ: "So, what, you think this all some sort of Freudian temper tantrum?"
Toby: "You showed up here at eight o'clock at night with a bottle of wine asking me about a pardon we both know is out of the question, telling me about a man who's crowding you. I think a lot of things."
CJ: "You think I came here to take advantage of you before they cart you off to the big house?"
Toby: "I think you don't know why you came here. You're a woman with a lot of options. You're acting like the world's backing you into a corner, bouncing from one thing to the next - from Bartlet to Santos, to Danny, to me. Maybe you should stop bouncing, pick something. What do you want?"
CJ: "I don't know.... I'd like to learn how to make a chicken like that."
Toby: "Stick a lemon up it and throw on some rosemary."
CJ: "Yeah?"
Toby: "Yeah, a little salt."
CJ: "I'd like to learn how to ski. I think would be soothing. Be a ski bum. Operate the ski chair for 6 months, clear my head."
Toby: "It's a chair lift."
CJ: "Well, first I'd learn the lingo, take it from there."
Toby: "I missed you."
CJ: "Yeah. We had it good there for a while."
Toby: "Yeah, we did... You should go."
CJ: "You kicking me out?"
Toby: "Yeah."
CJ: "Okay."
I am so very CJ, but not as good at the job thing. =)
