Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
I find some sort of solace in the fact that Carrie ends up with Mr. Big.
Anyway, Jodi Picoult is my newest favorite author; I just finished Keeping Faith and am already half way through My Sister's Keeper. Here are some favorite quotes from Keeping Faith.
"I wonder if I am supposed to keep this paper in my safe-deposit box, nestled beside m marriage license and my passport, but it is hard to imagine so many years fitting into such a tiny space." Mariah on her divorce papers
"He wonders how you can go in the blink of an eye from speaking words that are so thoughtlessly dropped as pocket change to this, where even the most benign conversation wrings you dry."
"And hello minus the o is 'hell.'"
"A full Kansas moon is a remarkable sight, luminous and filled to bursting as it grazes the plans. It is the kind of moon that coaxes animals out of hiding, that makes cats dance on fence posts and barn owls cry. It changes you, if only for the time you stare at it, making your blood beat thick and your head spin to a sing played on bare branches and marsh reeds."
"But [he] has always had a pull on me, like the moon with the tide..."
"He finds himself staring at [her] the way one cannot help but watch a building collapse or a fire burn out, committed to the tragedy."
"You can believe something really hard and still be wrong."
If more exciting things were happening, I suppose I'd probably write about them, but they're not. I'm going up to the Bruns tomorrow with Ryan, it'll be the first, and probably only, time he meets them... as well as the last time I see them until Kerry/Conor's birthday. I expect guitar playing tomorrow and I am a firm believer that a well played guitar is poison.
The Wizard of Oz is on! <3 Happy almost New Year, L
