Sometimes I wish I were a character in a book and there was a writer out there giving me things to say.

The future is a trickster rabbit, full of surprises. Only the past is predictable. -Bobby Goodspeed

Another thing I think about names is that they DO hurt. They hurt because we believe them. We think they are telling us something true about ourselves, something other people can see even if we don't. —Bobby Goodspeed

So, this is a rabbit, I thought. He sort of looks like Chester, only he's got longer ears and a shorter tail. And a motor in his nose.

So does being cool mean you get to go around calling other people names?

When you're living through it, though, especially when you are twelve and you think the whole world is changing until you realize it isn't the world, it's you, no piece seems little. It's all so big you think it can kill you. But it doesn't. Which is why the story goes on.

Life is short and there will always be dirty dishes, so let's dance.
