When we got into office, the thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were.
I was a huge bookworm as a kid, and you could usually find me reading something with a dragon on its cover.
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Now if I could just find something that doesn't kill me.
