I get accused all the time of having a big mouth. But if you ask me, guys gossip way more than girls do.
Sometimes what you want is right in front of you. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it.
I’ve come to the conclusion that, aside from Nazis, the Taliban, and possibly the honey badger, there is no one on the planet more merciless than a teenage girl once she’s decided she dislikes you.
You can’t turn love on and off like a faucet.
It’s just that the times I’m wrong don’t register in your memory with as much clarity as the times I’m right.
If you really love someone, even if you can’t see where you’ll be or what you’ll be doing twenty years from now, you’d still want that person to be there.
Sleepy pulled the car to a stop in front of this paved entranceway, which was flanked on either side by these enormous palm trees, kind of like the Polynesian Resort at Disney World. In fact, the whole place had kind of a Disney feel to it. You know, really big, and kind of modern and fake.
I think we make our own luck. Our parents give us life, but what we do with that life is our own responsibility.

But if that was really true, why in the name of all that is holy would anyone have ever liked Nikki in the first place? I was becoming more and more convinced she was a cross between Heidi Montag and Hitler.
But I don’t care what Megan Fox or Jessica Biel say: There are definite advantages to being the hottest girl on the planet. Number one was that I got paid for it. A lot.
Honey, some boys stopped by to see you. They had wood.
What did that mean? Where could it go? He was a death diety. I was a high school senior.
