My thoughts, in no particular order. 
 1. Do not read this book if you haven't finished reading all the Hemingway you plan on reading in your lifetime. (Reason becomes apparent about halfway through.) 
 2. One of my friends needs to take me to a major league game, preferably one of the major teams with a big following. (Football or baseball acceptable.) 
 2a. Said friend needs to make sure we have plans to properly tailgate said major league game. 
 3. Take the damn TV back, Dad. No, really. 
 4. Nikki. Pat. Tiffany. Nikki. Tiffany. Pat. Tiffany. Nikki. OH MY GOODNESS. 
 5. I agree with Pat: joking people who have almost died of overdoses is not funny. 
 6. What year is it? *cringe* How long has apart time been? *cringe* 
 7. Apart time. *sadness* *so much sadness* *ALL THE SADNESS* 
 8. Pat's mother, oh how I loved his mother. 
 9. (view spoiler)[I KNEW IT WASN'T NIKKI! I KNEW IT! (hide spoiler)] I didn't want to believe it, but I knew it. 
 10. Why did I resist reading this book for so long? 
 10a. Must rent movie ASAP. 
 11. I need some of Pat's workout motivation. Sheesh. 
 12. Seriously? (view spoiler)[He's reunited with Danny on Christmas Day after getting mugged? (hide spoiler)] *raises eyebrows* 
 13. You should read this.
