comic relief

i went into to the desert to forget about you.
but the sand was the colour of your hair.
The desert sky was the colour of your eyes.
There was nowhere i could go that wouldn't be you.

--Middlesex, Jeffrey Eugenides

im sorry but i think this line is incredibly corny! i was getting into this emo, dark thunderous mood when suddenly this line pops up,

and i laughed my ass off.

still a very good book though.

Jeffrey Eugenides is awesome.
