Muse and Quote- December 10, 2009

I'm reading this book called Anything But Typical. I picked it out because I like stuff that is not typical, and it is a very nice book. The main character is a boy with autism, and he writes stories and posts them on a website called Storyboard. He meets a girl named PhoenixBird, a.k.a. Rebecca, and I don't now what else because I haven't finished it yet. That is my Muse for Today.

Quote for Thursday, December 10, 2009:

I bumped into a woman I hadn't seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? 'You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!'

'Well,' I said, slightly nonplussed, 'the last time you saw me I'd just had a baby.'

What I felt like saying was, 'I've produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren't either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?' But no — my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!
