Saints, those special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't see them, like how you can't see your nose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e2. Misfits, people who don't belong. Like me--the way I don't fit into Dad's brand-new family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother, Mama's-Boy-Muhammad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e3. Monsters.
