the Internets, because stupid people look up to them as some sort of spiritual advisor but also they need to stop sending me comment spam. in the words of Christine, "The Internet will show titty to anyone. Skank."
also, joe and angie.

first book, but she is, she's just
called "Gillian" -- she's one of the
bullies, the one that says, "Back
atcha, Portland!" Then in the second
book, she plays a larger role and even
solves The Case of the Statues That
Attract Deer by figuring out that the
statues are made of salt. In the
third one, they force her into this
romantic subplot with Hix McStix and
so she doesn't get to do much. She
learns to play bluegrass, disappears
for a hundred pages, dies at the end --
OR DOES SHE? And in the last one,
the main characters are the triplets
she had with Hix: Flopsy, Mopsy, and
No' Mo'. They're pretty clever like
their mom. They figure out that the
radio star was killed not only in my
mind, but also in my car, which is why
they found radio blood all over the

cleared all the hard stuff out of the way,
growing-up-wise. I can't really define what I
mean by hard stuff, but I know that I learned
a lot both directly from her and from
watching her. Read her webpage, there's a
whole person on there!

the same people I hang out with as

she can play that damn game that vexes
my immortal soul... DDR. I need more
female friends like G.B... because that
would move me up to 1 female friend. ;)
