- P I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog like that black Lab E brought home after his pony league that dog Sarge.
- (Dropkick Murphys, Dead Kennedys, the Clash, Minor Threat)
- Later that night I looked up Byzantine in the Washington House Commons Room dictionary and it said something about the Byzantine Empire so then I looked up Byzantine Empire and it said something about the Roman Empire and all I could imagine was a bunch of people walking around in togas and feeding grapes to each other and having ancient-style orgasms.
- In the newspaper picture April has big blue eyes and pink barrettes in her hair. She's the kind of kid who you can never imagine dirty. Her skin probably cleans itself like one of those ovens.
- (our lady of fatima)
- I forgive him and so does Jesus Christ and God and Santa Claws. He cries sometimes when nobody's looking, like when he's in the bathroom or hiding behind a car, and that's why I know his soul has gold in it. -Jenny
- Many kisses and hugs. I hope you like my drawing of the little puppy dog. His name is Poprock and he will guard you with ferociousness. -Jenny
- It's simply farfetched to think that that contemptuous academy gives a flying piece of pornography where their boys wind up whenn they get away.-P
- And I'll even admit that as much as I hate the idea of a military school bearing down on any young man's life, I'm sure there were valuable things you were able to take from your brief time there; even if it was the simple dose of fear that might possibly act as a vaccine in your enormous, sky's-the-limit future. I'm not saying that I ever expect you to toe the line or anything as insubstantial and conformist as that; I hope that you will do quite the opposite and question everything-- teachers, coaches, priests, lawmakers, prime-time television shows, magazine ads, top-forty deejays, and any intellectual analgesic that could numb the senses and lure you into rote compliance like it has done to the vast, flimsy-minded flock of sheep that is America. -P
- (Ramones, Liars, Deerhoof, Daniel Johnston)
- There's also this guy called Daniel Johnston who is a schizophrenic and wrote all these songs in his brother's garage with Fisher-Price instruments. His songs are pretty sad and weird one called "Walking the Cow" about him walking a cow. I played it for Branson once and now he thinks I communicate with the dead.
- There were all these families lining up to see the movie. Lots of little kids with Kansas Jayhawks T-shirts and baseball hats. For some reason I felt really bad for all of them. I wanted to yell at them to run away while there was still hope to like get the fuck away from their parents and board a ship to some deserted island or some place where they could create their own society with their own rules but I didn't even open my mouth.

- Plus he used so much punctuation which I am bad at I admit like especially with commas. I never know where they're supposed to go or how many you're supposed to use so I pretty much just leave them out. I guess that makes me a grammar bandit too.
- The rearview mirror had been ripped off so there was no real way I could see what I looked like with the mask on but that was sort of an awesome feeling like I wasn't ANYONE for a second like I could be ANYTHING under the mask like a ghost or a wolf boy with a dead bird in my pocket or some green mist.
- (Mr. Gray's Body Parts = Gray's Anatomy)
- I have no explanation for nature that's for sure like animals and vegetables and minerals are completely mysterious categories as far as I'm concerned and rain and rocks and snow and tornadoes too. I mean God is a fucking trip right P? He invented so much weird shit like fish and Spanish and missiles and underground caves and machines that make cars and faces on the sides of mountains! And nudity and Venezuela and flying squirrels with fangs! And we have to deal with ALL OF IT ALL THE TIME!
- I vowed that I would never turn away from help again...
- (Wolf Parade)
- (Jonathan Livingston Seagull)
- When Kent came back to the LeBaron he asked me if I wanted to drive and I told him I didn't know how but he said he would teach me. I was like "What if we get caught?" and he said "What if what if what if. Too many what ifs will drive a man to church every Sunday."
- She was really pale and had these light blue eyes and long wavy blond hair like the kind of hair you would want to paint if you were a painter but something seemed wrong with her like she moved slow or she was in pain.
- (PJ Harvey)
- I almost came out from behind the tree and walked up to everyone but I couldn't. I guess I just feel outside of their lives now. Like I'm a ghost. Like I need to live everywhere they're NOT. Like I can't ever go back to Cincinnati or my life will get poisoned and I'll wind up living in the fixed-up basement and I'll start to fade into the new paneling or something.
