Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I have a hard time not doing it, but since I know it bugs the hell out of me when other people do it, even especially family members, I try to make sure it's as brief and inobtrusive as possible. And I'd never comment.

I could tell who my real friends were in college because they didn't mind too much when we were hanging around and I read their magazines, or textbooks, or whatever, instead of talking to them. Okay, sometimes they gave me a hard time, but always in a "she's crazy, we love her anyway" sort of way.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
My niece Laney went through a huge cell phone phase. One time, she grabbed mine, held it up and said "Hello? HeLOOO?" and she kept looking up and moving her other arm around. We couldn't figure it out until we got that she'd learned it from Mom and was checking her makeup and driving with her other hand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's impossible not to read stuff. I'm always reading stuff on my boss's desk when I'm waiting for him. This is why it pays to be able to read upside down.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I have this problem - if there is reading material anywhere near me I have to read it. I can't help reading other people's papers on the subway. I try not to. It's an illness.
Yeah, that's me, too, although I've managed to be pretty good about not reading other people's laptops. Although that temptation most often happens when I'm a on a plane, so I'll have my own book to read anyway.

This is true of so many things. As is the reverse.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's a shame that reading on a plane or train makes me nauseous, because I'd love to take along books like The Dreyfuss Affair or Image of the Beast for when people ask me what it's about.
