Quotes by Carly
I'm a poor man. My life consists of working odd jobs throughout the year. I work in department stores and at Christmas tree farms in the winter, in a traveling circus or amuzement park during the summer, and I live in a shady apartment downtown. I live on my own. I've never felt the need for a companion, nor any jealousy toward those who had one. Until now.
It was early December, and we were in the parking lot of a K-Mart, selling pine trees. A cascade of slush and rain, about seven thirty at night, when a car pulled up. It was black, pretty nondescript. A man got out; I can't lie, he was pretty good looking, even if he was in his early thirties, and much too old for the woman that got out of the passenger seat. The girl was maybe twenty, which immediately brought to my mind a sugar daddy, or something of the sort. But she walked around back and opened the door, and out jumped a toddler, cute little boy. And then she stepped up into the street lights, where we were, where the trees were, and I saw just how pretty she was. I also saw that her pea coat was uncomfortably tight around the stomach.
That was the first time I felt envy for another man. Here I was, working out in the cold and wet, and there he was, not much older than I, with a beautiful wife and child and another on the way.
That was the first time I let my envy get the best of me.

My name is Kayte. That's pronounced like Kate, but much more interesting. Pardon you.
I moved here to get away from my parents, but I was not going to learn a new language. America neemed about like my only option. So here I am.
I guess I'm pretty good looking by your standards, because I get hit on in every god damned pub I walk into. Is that just how it is here? I hope not.
I live in the suburbs outside Buffalo. It's nice. People are ignorant. All is well.
No, it's not.
