Like I said, some people think it’s weird that my best friend is a girl. Sometimes I think it’s weird, too. Mostly people assume that we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, which I guess we could be.

If you ever manage to become perfect, you have to die instantly before you ruin things for everyone else.
