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.

(stopped at page 121)
