Did you end up becoming friends with the girl reading Greensky? It's hard to imagine an unpleasant person enjoying them, but I suppose stalking her might throw a wrench in things.

And yes, freaky odd! I love the phrase, too. I loved the scene where Saaski finds the bagpipes. She's such a good mix of human and not-human, and tries so hard to be a proper human girl for her parents and just can't quite.

Her relationship with her grandmother was probably my favorite, though.
