She sent me Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger for Xmas, and I totally love and adore it. I've never fallen in love with characters in a book this quickly before.
And it has the best lines.
This is one of the scenes that make me giggle.
TRAVIS: You just don't understand.
GORDO: Don't I? Travis, if you'd taken Trig with me like I asked you to, you'd know by now that it doesn't matter if you like boys instead of girls because the formulas are the same.
TRAVIS: I never said I like boys!
GORDO: Ever beat off to Penthouse
TRAVIS: No.
GORDO: Ever collect baseball cards?
TRAVIS: No.
GORDO: How old is Barbra Streisand?
TRAVIS: 36. Three weeks ago.
GORDO: What do you need, a fucking blueprint?
*****
I just love it.
Now I must go back to reading and begging the Gods to either a) take my sinusii away or b) let me die al-fucking-ready.

But, only if she teaches me the mystic art of the ninja.
P.S. Should I get my tongue pierced and a Happy Face w/Bullet Hole in Forehead tat before, or after, I hunt for a desk type job?

*and for the record, I DO know his name is Milo Vsomething or other. I just can't spell it.
Seth wants to go with us when we go see it. There's fire in it, so you know he's all "Preeeeeeeetty"

However, if you want to do another Heroes marathon, only with Jake 2.0 instead of Heroes, we could do that. There's still an adorable main character with super powers in it. ^_^
