| "You think you've got problems? Last Tuesday, I died and came back to
life for the fourteenth time in three years. Fourteen. In three years!
Everyone's getting pretty sick of it. I mean, the first few times... it
was pretty cool. A miracle, you know? A real piece of divine
intervention, each time. But after those first few times, people just
started getting confused, exhausted, just... I don't know. Whenever it
happens, I guess they don't know when or.. even if.. to grieve. And
then I come back, and it's just... they don't really understand why it
happens. Or why it keeps happening. Or how they might be able to help
me finally stay dead for once. Without coming off as a bunch of jerks,
I mean."

| Good:
- I love Danielle Fessenbecker.
- I just saw King Kong and loved it (but not as much as I love Danielle Fessenbecker).
- I'm home for Christmas break and I love it (mostly because I get to spend more time with Danielle Fessenbecker).
Bad:
- The doctor gave my grandfather a six-month prognosis. No,
seriously. It took him six months to give the prognosis My grandpa sat
there for half a year listening to the damned thing.
- I joke around about things I shouldn't joke around about. See above.
- I do not get to be with Danielle Fessenbecker as much as I would like to.
