real done happens
Breaking up isn't something that gets done to you; its something that happens with you.
believe done force
I don't believe in prom,' I reminded her as she rounded a corner. I expertly angled my raisin bran to accomodate the g-forces. I'd done this before.
should-have done four
It was not an eventful day. I should have done extraordinary things. I should have sucked the marrow out of life. But on that day, I slept eighteen hours out of a possible twenty-four.
lying baths done
Colin had always preferred baths; one of his general policies in life was never to do anything standing up that could just as easily be done lying down
stories done moral-of-the-story
And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you; it's something that happens with you.
knowing-better alaska done
There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.

...it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.

I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met.
fun sadness gone
The times that were most fun seemed always to be followed by sadness now, because it was when life started to feel like it did when she was with us that we realized how utterly gone she was.
smoking too-much cheetahs
I ran like a cheetah - well, like a cheetah that smoked too much.
bit good quality strange stuff
It does have a kind of byzantine quality to it. There is a good bit of strange stuff going on.
answers divinity found minister notion offered others people questions quickly school suffer
I was enrolled in divinity school and thought I was going to become a minister - I'm Episcopalian - but I was disavowed of that notion pretty quickly while working at the hospital. I found myself really unfulfilled by the answers that are traditionally offered to questions of why some people suffer and why others suffer so little.
