Sentences of the (2) week:

1."Jamie didn't care much about outward appearances, because she was always looking for things like "inner beauty," and I suppose that's part of the reason she looked the way she did."

This sentence came from page 21 in A Walk to Remember. Landon is talking about how Jamie is a very plain Jane type of girl, and I think when he says inner beauty is the reason "she looked the way she did," it's kind of insulting to her.

2. "No matter how you sliced it, reading Paul's letters to the Ephesians wasn't nearly as much fun as flirting, if you know what i mean."


Also from A Walk to Remember. I just think this sentence is funny....and kind of true.

3. "I barely slept that night, I tell you, which was just about the strangest thing I'd ever experienced. I don't think anyone ever fretted about asking Jamie out before."

Landon is having trouble finding someone to go to the Homecoming dance with, and his only option who is somewhat decent is Jamie. However there's another guy (weird guy) looking  for a date as well, and he's scared that guy will ask Jamie out before he does, and knowing her charitable heart, she'll say yes to him and Landon will be left "passing out punch and cleaning up barf."
