“She was going to hell, she had the straight line to spiritual nirvana. Her mother was a hack, her mother was a witch. Blue dressed like a hobo, Blue dressed like a fashion mogul. She was untouchably hilarious, she was a friendless bitch (...) The disheartening and lonesome upshot was that Blue Sargent was the strangest thing in the halls of Mountain View High School.”

[...] Orla wasn’t wrong, of course. But what she didn’t realize about Blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another. She was no less obsessed with them than they were with her, or one another, analyzing every conversation and gesture, drawing out every joke into a longer and longer running gag, spending each moment either with one another or thinking about when next they would be with one another. Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn’t all-encompassing, that wasn’t blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she’d had this kind, she didn’t want the other.

“what a glorious and fearless animal Blue Sargent was.”

she recognized the strange happiness that came from loving something without knowing why you did, that strange happiness that was sometimes so big that it felt like sadness

She wasn't interested in telling other people's futures. She was interested in going out and finding her own.

Yes, a three hour tour. But just a calm day from #SolomonsIsland to #Annapolis up the #ChesepeakeBay. Lots of debris warnings due to the recent rains but we only saw a couple and the water was practically glassy at times. Lots of fisheries activities and the marinas were abuzz. Captain Per guided us smoothly and keeping watch just allowed for more #bluemine uptake. Despite being “local” these last years I had never been up the middle of the bay and seen the sights from the water - #CalvertCliffs, #ChesepeakeBayBridge, #USNavalAcademy, #StateCapitolBuilding, that house I wanted with the doc... :) Hopefully there will be more work and play in the future here. #MD #Chesepeake (at Chesapeake Bay)
