what sums up my weird relationship with harold is this : strange as it may seem , knowing what i know now , i would probably pick harold to be friends with instead of amy , who was mostly dizzy about boys with nice cars and clothes from sweetie 's , and who was ( god forgive me for saying cruddy things about the dead but it 's true ) a real ogunquit snob , the way only a year-round townie can be one .
