Movies that pepper my speech

If I ever had creepers following me, it would be movie scripts. They always seem to creep into my conversations so nicely and at inopportune times. For example, when I am in the car sometimes I get an overwhelming urge to quote the opening lines to Pulp Fiction (or listen to Misirilou by Dick Dale for clarification). So in honor of this feeling, here are the movie scripts that I use in most of my conversation, and the quotes I use most:

one. First and foremost, Mean Girls. Is that really a question for anyone?
-I cannot stop this car, I have a curfew!
-You go Glen Cocoa!
-Oh heck no, I did not leave the south side for this!
-Don't have sex because you will get pregnant and die!
-She's a life ruiner, she ruins people's lives.
-You cannot do that. That is social suicide.
-I'm from Michigan...great!
-She doesn't even go here!

two. She's the Man. I love Amanda Bynes, and hey she unretired! Partay!
-Screw you guys, I hate high school.
-Welcome to Illyria, Welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome to Illyria!
-What up bro? (pronounced brahhh)
-My favorite's gouda.
-Word, g money.
-She's got a little somethin' somethin'.
-I'm brilliant, shh.
-My intensity scares people.

three. Baby Mama. Clearly I think Tina Fey is hilarious....
-Biscuit, I don't know your life! (biscuit replaces the other word...)
-Can I just spray a little pam down there? You have to admit, it's a valid suggestion.
-Oh that's just Hellboy. (ps, Hellboy is the name of my car as well)
-Cats can do this!
-What is this??? It's water.... It's disgusting!!
-Uhhh, I don't know.... I DON'T KNOW.
-That don't make no sense. I don't have time to explain arithmetic to you!
-Your stupid space car locked me in!
-It's in the thing!
-This one's for the ladies! Alright, a slow jam!

four. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yes, I'll even put a sensitive one in hurr.
-It's going to be gone soon... what do we do? Enjoy it.
-Paaatttrickkk, babbbyy boy.
-I prefer to be Ruth, but I'm flexible.

four and four quarters. Garden State.
-Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
-Can I have something to chew on? F, bamboo! Whatever!

Passtimes in Classes

We all get to a point where we want to shank the professor and everyone in the class because we're so bored. Though that is a great idea, here are a few alternatives:

one. Download the cat piano app on your iPhone or iTouch. It's an app that makes cat meows. Just set that sucka off during the middle of lecture and act like nothing happened. People will be scratching their heads as they try to find this invisible cat.

two. Bring a typewriter to class to type your notes. That's just plain entertaining.

three. When asked what your major is say something classy like "baby making" or "lion taming."

four. Serenade your teacher with showtunes. Why not?

four and four quarters. Speak in a British accent all semester and then confess to everyone your actually from America. Nothing like lying to a group of people.

Secrets to ordering at Starbucks

one. Modifications: There are so many modifications that you would never know about. Some of the useful ones: no whip, half a shot (ristretto), types of milk (nonfat, 1%, whole, soy, cream, etc), upside down (putting the shots on the bottom of a macchiato), con panna (with whip cream- for straight espresso), and decaf (yes ALL drinks can be decaf).

two. Bring your own cup and you get 10 cents off, and usually more drink.

three. Always ask for your drink in the next size up. An example would be a grande coffee in a venti cup. That way you have more room for cream. Many times the barista will forget and give you a venti amount of coffee for the grande price. Either way, you have more drink for a cheaper price.

four. Always say the size of your drink first. The barista can't put in your order until they have a size. Chances are, you're drink could be wrong because they've been trying to memorize the order until you say the size.

four and four quarters. Get a gift card and register it on Starbucks.com (and it's free to register). You get some nice rewards: free refills, free syrups, free milk (soy and cream is extra) and free wifi. Though they act like you can always get free wifi, the only way to get it is through a registered Starbucks card or an AT&T internet account. If you use it a lot then you'll be invited to get a gold card. You get tons of rewards like free birthday drinks.

Songs I wouldn't want anyone know I listen to

one. "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. I know, it's shocking, but it's just so dang catchy. Between her unrealistic lyrics and moving her hips and head to the word "yeah," I can't help but not my head along.

two. "Can't Fight the Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes. Next time you find yourself in a bar full of coyotes, you'll know exactly why this song fits into your current environment. Not only do I want to be best friends with Piper Perabo (Violet in Coyote Ugly), but I want this to be playing at all times.

three. "The Power of Love" by Celine Dion. When those violins start going in those insane in the membrane (another song that I "don't like) sixteenth notes, I can't help but wanting to rave. Celine, you can be my lady and I'll be your....fan, any day.

four. "4ever" by the Veronicas. Though this song is slightly graphic when read aloud, it's utterly addicting. It's in She's the Man so maybe I'm a little biased, but hey random news: anyone hear that Amanda Bynes retired? I cried.

four and four quarters. "Mayberry" by Rascal Flatts. I was obligated to choose at least one country song. Truth is, Rascal Flatts isn't too terrible. I just love stuttering by saying "cherry...ccccoke." Just a question RF, are you an animal, cause there is NO way you can just see things in black and white. Ebony and Ivory (another solid song) isn't always the way to see things.

Time for some Change

Hello all,
I have decided to redo my blog. I believe I can talk about much more if it's in jest and in a list. I mean, who doesn't like that anyway? Essentially, I will be posting the top four and four quarters about things (ex: top four and four quarter songs I don't tell people I like). I hope you all enjoy the changes!
