Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging

Not eating. Jas. Jas not eating. Things are bad. I said, “What, not even Pop-Tarts?” and her mum said, “No.”
Things are much worse than I thought.

but then horror of horrors DAD RUFFLED MY HAIR. I pretended even harder to be asleep.

Watching TV Mum said, “Do you miss your dad?” and I said, “Who?”

“Look, Georgie, you’re a young woman now [what was I before? a young horse?]..."

Angus has eaten some of Mum’s knickers. She says he’ll have to go. Why can’t she go, and Dad go? Or am I being unreasonable?

I know why they don’t want me to have a lock on my door. It’s because it would be a first sign of my path to adulthood and they can’t bear the idea of that because it would mean they might have to get on with their own lives and leave me alone.

"У Хитон вообще плохо с чувством юмора.Ей,наверное, лет двести,а она всё еще не замужем,поздняк метаться.А вдруг я кончу тем же?
Превращусь в биологичку,буду жить с котами ,пить теплое молоко с печеньем и носить панталоны с начесом.А еще буду слушать радио и собирать сплетни...
По мне ,лучше застрелиться."
