Summary:
Well, it beats living in a cardboard box all to hell.

Just out of curiosity, do you have to fill out any forms or get any licences to become a dominatrix?

I already own a riding crop.

"Well," said Rosemary. She turned her head completely away from Gentian, tugged fiercely at her hair, and said, "I don't like boys."

Gentian considered her..."Well, I don't know...if you don't like them now I'm not sure if you ever will, because as far as I can tell, they just get worse. It's all downhill after they're eleven."

"It's all downhill after everybody's eleven, as far as I can tell, " said Rosemary.

"The other week, I was at a function where I didn't know anybody, but I took my boyfriend with me. He didn't know anybody, either, so he ended up watching me do my 'I don't know anybody' dance, which involves me changing seats, looking around for where I'm 'supposed to be,' and freaking out about whether I should get some food, or if I'd lose my good seat, if that's even a good enough seat. 'Are you okay?' he asked. 'You're just watching my life when you're not around,' I answered. 'It's scary,' he said. 'I know,' I agreed." (1)

Poor tiger. What will it make of Ohio, now that it's seen the big city?

"The extra ingredient is otter!"

....there was a witch.

{Aren't witches more interesting than princesses? I mean, we all know what happens to the princess - there's a curse, or a tower, or a ...witch... And then there's some forest animals and a prince and a sunset. And then silence. That's what happens to the princess. Things happen to a princess.

Witches just...happen. All right, they never quite make it to the last chapter, that's not great. But in the meantime, they get to do stuff. Someone has to do all the cursing and imprisoning! You can't leave it to the prince, he's always the last to know. If it weren't for the witches, the princes would be wandering around the woods, wishing they had a hobby.

Though, it's the princess that gets the good wardrobe....

Can a princess be a witch?}
