I am, for good or ill, often ridiculously literal. And this tendency makes me kind of irritated by expressions that get thrown around a lot. Sometimes I have to sit and pick at them like burrs until they stop bothering me.

“You realize, of course, that you are a complete idiot.
Well, conscience, I'd say that much is obvious.”
― Susan Bischoff, Hush Money
Well, conscience, I'd say that much is obvious.”
― Susan Bischoff, Hush Money
“How could I explain why I'd acted that way? How could I explain how scary it was, to find out that I needed her so much? Was I supposed to tell her how she'd changed everything? Like how U hadn't even realized how bad I felt until she'd made it better, just by looking at me. Like how I thought she was awesome, bad-ass ninja, and what I hated was the fact that I knew I couldn't protect her, when that's all I wanted to do. How could I explain, without sounding like a complete asshole, that I was so afraid of losing her I pushed her away?
I couldn't.”
― Susan Bischoff, Heroes 'Til Curfew
I couldn't.”
― Susan Bischoff, Heroes 'Til Curfew
“Marco, honey, I'm gonna have to wreck your fantasy and tell that not only are Joss and I not involved with each other, and not only are we both straight-which you'd think any straight guy would realize-but I would do her and half the guys at this table before I would even let you watch me change my shoes"
Eric opened his mouth to say something but Kat immediately cut him off "No, Eric. You're in the other half”

And I'm way older than 'normal' YA readers :D They still completely pulled me in, though :)
Thanks, Linda! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks again for your review. And it's nice to have company in the whole dreaming of Joss and Dylan thing. Maybe we can find some similarly afflicted folk and form a support group. Linda wrote: "Susan, I am about half way through Heroes 'til curfew, and I love it.
