Quotes edit
-
“I was a fat kid. I had no friends and spent all my time watching television, hoping that one day I would find my calling, any calling (that didn't involve doing math)... Then when I was twelve, our teacher gave us an assignment: keep a journal... I was a fat kid and had not friends... so I wrote to my favorite TV star instead. Not Magnum, Remington Steele, or even MacGyver. I wrote to Bob Uecker's overweight, surly, vaguely gay butler: Mr. Belvedere.”
Steve Scaia -
“My group of friends were very important to me. We were all "girl crazy." Unfortunately, girls weren't "us crazy." But of all my friends, I was the girl craziest, and I had to find a girl who would no longer let my crazy go unrequited.”
Mathew Harawitz -
“I loved being "in like"-not love, like. Like is pretty much love with training wheels.”
Mathew Harawitz -
“<When> Mrs. Richardson, my guidance counselor...visited my class to discuss career goals with students...I told her that I wanted to be an OB/GYN and when she smiled and asked me if I liked babies I explained that I couldn't stand them but I enjoyed "squishy things," and the idea of being in it up to my elbows was thrilling. This gurgle came out of her throat and she quickly got up and went to speak with my homeroom teacher who also became distressed. They left the room together and were gone for a very long time.”
