"I don't know why I felt the need to present any excuse at all. Except
for the original owner of my pink jacket, my leaving affected no one.
I'd spent several months there and they had added up to nothing. Seeing
as I was not the type of person to make things happen, my only option was the let
things happen.... Things wouldn't be any different in North Carolina
than they'd been in Oregon. I thought of those people on the bus, going
from one shitty place to the next, expecting nothing to change but the
landscape. Soon I'd be sitting beside them, sharing my potato chips and
thinking of them as my kind of crowd."
