Allyson, if the rest of the book is half as good as this sample, you're going to take the publishing world by the throat and throttle it silly.
So. Damn. Good.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Language note: Emmett has taken to saying "jacked up" as euphemism for "Fucked up." This was not current during my youth, and I thought "effed up" had taken a commanding lead.
Please verify with anecdotes your observation of this trend, or deny it utterly, or display indifference.
It was "F'd up" in my day (the gay-but-not-that-sort-of-gay 90s). "Jacked up" meant, well, "hyped" or "amped."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
"Jacked up" meant, well, "hyped" or "amped."
In my day, "jacked up" meant the rear end of your car was way higher than the front end.

I was trying to explain this to former officemate. He thought I was being weird. But then, he met his wife when she worked here.
I have a matchmaking friend. She's finally learned to NOT try with me. You can tell she has to work really hard to restrain herself, though. It's funny.

Question time:
The DOCUMENT FROM HELL needs to be published on the web. The main body is nearly 2MB, the appendicies 5MB. I'm thinking I want to break the pieces up by chapter and offer them as individual PDFs. But I'm not sure anyone would want to download what would be 20 separate files.
So... 20 files? 20 files + 2 files (for main + append)? 1 big honking file?
