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.

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

female friends like G.B... because that
would move me up to 1 female friend. ;)
