“I have a total girl-crush on Miranda July (which means that I want to be her, mostly). This book was sold in two colors: yellow and pink. I'm glad I got the yellow one. July constructs some really interesting characters in really interesting situations, many of them totally unbelievable in their awkwardness... But then something makes us see that we're like them. For some reason this bit is my favorite:
"That is my problem with life, I rush through it, like I'm being chased. Even things whose whole point is slowness, like drinking relaxing tea. When I drink relaxing tea, I suck it down as if I'm in a contest for who can drink relaxing tea the quickest. Or if I'm in a hot tub with some other people and we're all looking up at the stars, I'll be the first to say, It's so beautiful here. The sooner you say, It's so beautiful here, the quicker you can say, Wow, I'm getting overheated."”
