My Legendary Girlfriend: Half way

(page 89) "He might be a one-eyed donkey, but he was my one-eyed donkey (IN MY PANTS!)
and that was all that counted. "
-Sorry I couldn't help myself.

(page 100) "He hadn't realized that life couldn't always be reduced to a three-and-a-half minuet pop song. "
-And that is seriously what I don't get about music. I mean, it's great and all..BUT COME ON! You cannot summarize a whole relationship or marriage or whatever into a song and expect that to be it. I mean, I know sometimes i'm like "oh this song reminds me of..." but never have I or will I ever only remember someone or something because there was a stupid song about it.

- Actually I'm kind of surprised that Simon hasn't written a song about Aggi and Will's relationship..I mean...it is a heart breaker and would make for a hell of a love song.

-OMFG I really hate to spoil this for anyone who hasn't read this and wants to...
but AGGI CHEATED ON WILL WITH SIMON OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG whaddahbitch. That is malarki on the reals. Will didn't react how I expected though...clever clever. Soooo I guess thats why Simon never wrote a song about it hmmmmm?

(page 103) " Ignorance wasn't just bliss, it was the pillars that kept the roof of my sanity from crashing down. "

(page 108--he's talking about how he had watched a robin struggle with a twig too big for it to carry back to the tree, but still tryed nonetheless.)
" Those five minuets the robin had spent tugging away at that twig, well, those were the three years I'd spent trying to get her back. Like God and McDonald's, Aggi was everywhere. "

- Not only does the last sentence bring a little humor to the situation, it makes fucking sense. I don't know anyone who has gotten dumped that doesn't look at the things around them and think about the ex. Hell, I've done it. Super lame, but it happens.

My Legendary Girlfriend

August 6, 2008 was when I started reading this book, this post is a little late--but oh well.

I started reading this book because my computer was out of the house being fixed.
this particular set of notes were taken from 2 separate nights of reading it.

I'm only on page 12 and I like this book a lot. The description that's usually on the back wasn't on the book when I picked it up so I'm just going to guess what happens.
- He's single and depressed, he'll probably meet someone.
-He teaches middle school kids, and hates it. Maybe after he meets someone they'll help him enjoy it?
- He smokes a lot..kind of makes me want to smoke...(hahaha)

(page 44--Kate speaking) "And then one day I just woke up. I said to myself, I can spend the rest of my life mourning his loss or I can get on with my life. Which is what I did."
I marvel at her confidence as well Will.

(also on page 44) Kate continued: "I've never understood why people insist on saying things like, 'There's plenty of other fish in the sea.' My mum actually said that to me, you know, after I was dumped by the person formally known as 'my boyfriend.' There's me crying my heart out and all she's offering me by way on consolation was a fish metaphor!"
To all of you who offer help by throwing the fish metaphor at people, now you know that it REALLY doesn't help.

-Seriously..it took me like...maybe 30 some pages in the book to realize he lives in London....LOL

(page 77) "Sometimes the effort to resist can be as passionate as the compulsion to succumb."
Ain't that the truth. Easier said than done I'm afraid.
ps: I don't care AT ALL that Martina might be pregnant. I want to know more about him and Kate!
