elephants sweaters scarves
I need to finish this scarf/shawl/blanket thing so I can start something for Emma- a hat, maybe, or a sweater for her stuffed elephant.
mom eye thinking
No, I am never setting foot in this house again it scares me and makes me sad and I wish you could be a mom whose eyes worked but I don't think you can.
recovery taste
I'm learning how to taste everything.
eating-disorder skinny cry
The stuffing/puking/stuffing/puking/stuffing/puking didn't make her skinny, it made her cry.
suicide hurt blood
I open a paperclip and scratch it across the inside of my left wrist. Pitiful. If a suicide attempt is a cry for help, then what is this. A whimper, a peep? I draw little window cracks of blood, etching line after line until it stops hurting.
bucks pockets dollars
I have ten bucks in my pocket - what to spend it on? French fries - ten dollars' worth of french fries, ultimate fantasy.
mom dad smell
What do you miss about being alive?" The sound of my mom singing, a little off-key. The way my dad went to all my swim meets and I could hear his whistle when my head was underwater, even if he did yell at me afterward for not trying harder. I miss going to the library. I miss the smell of clothes fresh out of the dryer. I miss diving off the highest board and nailing the landing. I miss waffles" - p. 272.
skins mouths stuff
I stuff my mouth with old fabric and scream until there are no sounds left under my skin.

I understood what triggered her earthquakes, most of them.
say-anything awful trouble
I don't say anything and I feel awful. I tell somebody and I feel worse. I'm having trouble finding a middle ground.

I breathe in slowly. Food is life. I exhale, take another breath. Food is life.
smell gossip devil
Gossip is the foul smell from the Devil's backside.
lonely excited joyful
I am learning how to be angry and sad and lonely and joyful and excited and afraid and happy.
skins together use
They tied me back together, but they didn't use double knots. My insides are draining out of the fault lines in my skin, I can feel it, but every time I check the bandages, they're dry.
