“Its a good thing I'm here, big guy, because you have shit taste in friends."Okay, I said the last part intentionally, knowing how Aaron would react. And right on cue, Aaron said:"He's not my friend!""Well, I guess that settles it, Nick. You're not going to be rebound guy because, despite your predictions of woe, Aaron and I aren't breaking up. I'd say that we'll see you around, but I doubt that'll happen since you don't even rate friend status.”

So you know what, you've got to let go, you've got to know that things don't happen the way you think they're going to happen, but that's okay, because there's always the bus, there's always the next station...you can always take a cab.”

“Didn't think I had it in me, did you? Well, Ha!”

“Hey you know what they say you should do when life gives you lemons?"The sudden change in topic made my head spin, "Make lemonade?" I answered weakly."Lemonade? Who the fuck do you hang out with, Girl Scouts? No, when life gives you lemons, you add vodka and make a lemon drop.”

“Did I expect him to think sucking my cock was anything other than disgusting? I‟d never even kissed a girl, and believe me, if someone forced me to take part in some below-the-belt mouth-to-vagina action, I think I‟d probably vomit.”
