It's like a monk kissing a nun. Brilliant. I lean back and cross my arms, enjoying their shifty-eyed embarrassment.

That's not what it looked like'
He hangs his ha. "I know what it looked like. I wanted it to look that way.'

Jason still wasn't sure how he felt about that. He'd acted like an idiot, announcing in front of everyone that she was a knockout. Not like there'd been anything wrong with her before.

I would have thought even a certified idiot like Gabriel here would have taken account of it and notified someone."

"I am not a certified idiot - "
"Lack of certification hardly proves intelligence," Will muttered. — Cassandra Clare

What are you doing?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It looks like a piece of paper."
"And you look like an idiot. — Courtney Allison Moulton

I'm thinking we ought to rethink the whole self-esteem thing. It should almost be a dirty word. I mean, look at Kayla. She has the intelligence of a tree stump, and its sense of humour. She's less about real attractiveness than she is about advertising ... She's the kind of girl who shows how hot she is because she has nothing else to offer, who doesn't realise that hotness has an expiration date. Yet, I'm still a little nervous talking to her like she's holding a lottery ticket she just might or might not decide to hand over to me. It is nuts, if you stop to think about it. I give give her this power, and it's kind of like voting some idiot into office. But hey, we're good at that, too. — Deb Caletti
