Am i only supposed to read 150 pages of this book this week... because that's not gonna happen. I can't leave Craig when he needs me the most. Especially when he is thinking he wants to kill himself by hurtling off the Brooklyn bridge into the depths below. Gee... that sounds fun. When Craig goes to the bridge with his best friend Aaron, Craig climbs onto one of the pathways built on top of the trussing that the workers use to fix the cables. He walks across it. which if you can imagine looking down, there is about three lanes of traffic beneath you. Surprisingly he makes it to the other side without killing himself.
But that part is not the part that made me laugh. when we makes it to the other side, he does that titanic move (you know the one where she looks like a bird against the wind on the tip of the ship), he does that, and yells at the top of his lungs, EULALIA! whatever that means. it just made me laugh. i am sure he felt some sense of empowerment standing on the top of the bridge against the wind, and in some respect, i wouldn't mind feeling the same thing.... just in safer conditions. with my luck, the wind would knock me over into oncoming traffic and once i fell onto the bridge, a car would ram me into the water.

| imagine jumping off this... or just standing on top |
This is also the chapter in the book which Craig decides he does want to die and he wants to do there, on top of the brooklyn bridge.
