1 " That’s what I feel. Really pissed at myself for ruining my life, and… pissed at the world for going on like normal. "
― Bonnie Dee , New Life (New Life, #1)
2 " The first thing you need to know about me is I’m not retarded. Or mentally handicapped I guess is the polite term these days. But whatever you call it, I’m not that. I have a mental disability, but I wasn’t born this way. It took extra stupidity for me to get this way— driving drunk, shooting through the windshield, landing on my noggin, and scrambling my brains permanently. I don’t babble and I don’t drool, except sometimes on my pillow when I’m sleeping, but everybody does that. "
3 " Because, Jason isn’t someone you can take lightly. Whatever happens between you is going to mean something. "
4 " I had to work out a new sequence for how my date with Anna would go. I reviewed what bus I’d take to get to the dog park, where the station was, how much change I’d need in order to ride. I even wrote a list to refer to in case I got confused. "
5 " Sorry. Whenever a new memory pops up, it sort of takes me by surprise. It’s like finding a lost piece of a puzzle. "
6 " I tried to walk less like a gimp. The last thing I wanted was her sympathy— again. What I really wanted was to kiss her. A lot. And to have sex. A whole lot. "
7 " It may be old news to you, but it’s new to me. I’m uncovering bits of my past and finding out I don’t much like the guy I was. "
