I want to kiss her without counting the seconds. I want to hold her so long that I get to know her skin. I want, I want, I want.
David Levithan
This is the hard part about having best friends that I feel no attachment to -- I don't give them any benefit of the doubt. And being best friends is always about the benefit of the doubt.

Then I go in the den and turn on Law & Order, since the only thing i can really count on in life is that whenever I turn on the TV, there will be a Law & Order episode.
