Old-School Quotables

First off, my precious precious nephew T-man graduated Preschool today.... how cute is he!?  I <3 seeing the cap and gown on little kids!

Love him!

Second... fair warning:  This will be a long post... the beginning few quotes are new, then there are several from past FB posts/messages:

"Oh man, this preview is just like... WEIRD STUFF... WEIRD STUFF... WEIRD STUFF!!  And how about a side of weird!?"

~Justin, seeing the commercial for Prometheus (pretty accurate assessment, I'd say)

"Wow, it really brings out your maturity!" -Michael, on Justin's hat (in the pic)

Mom and Dad discussing what groceries we needed for the cookout (this just randomly made me laugh):

"You probably need to get more grated cheese." -Mom

"Yeah, it was already on my list!" -Dad

"You have a list??" -Mom

"Well, in my head." -Dad :)

"They pretended it was a cricket instead of a cockroach... like that's supposed to comfort me!?  Seriously, tell me it was a butterfly if you want me not to freak out!" ~Me, on the cruise party

"Yeah, I had about an hour of free time the other day, and realized I had no idea what to do.  Like, what happened to all my interests and hobbies?  But Adam woke up about 3 minutes later, and I was like, 'oh yeah, I don't need to have any interests right now.'"  -Dentist Neil on parenting a baby

"Fine.  Then you guys don't get any gum!"  -Nathan, after people dared to mock the fanny pack! lol

"There is nobody in all of Tulsa having as much fun as we are having RIGHT NOW!!" ~Blake Fraley, the king of over-hype, at the cruise party

"You are acting like a 2-year-old with that thing!" -Bobbi on Blake's statue

"Can 2-year-olds talk!?" -Blake

"Wow.... solid comeback." -me :)

"What??  Nooooo!!!  There is no way she dies right now.... 

Ok, now I know that they're not gonna kill him off.  

.....Man, this is just a bloodbath!" 

~Jeff's intense reaction (several times through the movie, but especially emphatic on the death of Heath's wife and Heath while watching The Patriot)  It all kinda made me wanna cover his eyes when the town was called to meet at the church. lol  Still, I love that movie!

"If the conduct of your officers is the measure of a gentleman, I'll take that as a compliment!" -Mel (aka Benjamin Martin)

"So how do you spell your name?"

"M-A-L-O-R-I-E."

"Awwww, so close!"

~Chet Lee, taking down the prayer request of a girl named Malorie at LifeGroup who came with her friend, Lindsay! :)

"There were no F names in the Bible, so Ma named him Frankincense, because he smelled so sweet." (-Seven Brides)

"Goin' dancin', goin' dancin', at a fancy ball or minuet! Goin' dancin', goin' dancin', you'll impress 'em with your etiquette!"  ~SBFSB

"It's like I'm friends with Forest Gump.....I mean the part where you run a lot and like chocolate, not the part where he's totally slow!"  -Malori

"Ergo is one of my favorite words.  I don't use it often because I don't want it to lose its pizzazz."  -Malo-riah

"GO FOR IT! Complete with the hand motions and choreography. (I'll just be here cocooning...in bed.)"  
~Laura Allison, cheering me on for the Half, using the transition stages we'd talked so much about, which made me happy! :)

“So I guess that Gouda just walked itself right through the door, sliced itself up, and arranged itself in a perfect semi-circle around not three, not four, but FIVE different kinds of sturdy, cheese-bearing crackers.” -Marshall, love this episode!

"Then we played charades, Lily made some Creme Brûlée-lee-lee-lee-lee! And now that we're best couple friends, there's only one thing left to say: are you free, are you free, are you free, are you free, are you free next saturday!?" -Marshall's awesome song

The next several are Laura, and I'm leaving off the quote marks:

It's the marathon episode of Biggest Loser. Get the Puffs Plus ready.

I imagine Adam Levine lives in a constant state of self-impressedment.

How hilarious do I find it that you remember the Harmony/Melody thing? Don't answer. It's rhetorical.

I just used "chuckly" in my status. My apologies. I would like to buy you raspberry cheesecake to make it up to you."

Catching up on your blog. "Gimmicky vapid shallow fake ridiculousness" is my new favorite phrase!

I've gone through about 4 pieces of sugar-free gum so far today, and guess what? Still prefer the Ho-Hos. 

Aww, how cute to be twinkies. I find us rather precious, don't you?

Secret Life of the American Teenager? Hmmm, too bad that wasn't around during the mid-90s. They could have filmed me sitting in my room writing heartwrenching poetic drivel and eating Cheetos. 

Zumba is also on Monday nights... not sure the Platinum Center can contain all our sexiness!

Just FYI, I'm patiently awaiting a new blog post today or tomorrow.  -Me

In an immortal quote from Princess Bride, "Get used to disappointment."   -Laura

I'm having crazy thoughts. I blame Malori.... I was all set to gear up for a half in May and now, I don't know, maybe I'll get that stupid sticker on my car sooner than anticipated.

Intending to jog (slooooooow) the whole way, or at least once I'm past the hill. (Weird, I accidentally typed "pasta the hill" -- we know what's on my mind!) 

Hey, how was your VDay party? I hope it was fun and festive and cute and that Cupid didn't show up and massacre everybody with his stupid bow and arrows.

Are you super pumped for your birthalicious birthday?

It's hard to explain what this song does to me besides make me cry but pretend that it's just allergies.

He's not the man of my dreams; that's for dang sure. I can't have a guy who's pastier pale than me!  Among other reasons...  (on Edward Cullen)

 I'll bet Chet could really get into this. He's just good people. Swing. Zumba. Blessing people's food. ~referring to his prayer at the first LG micromission :)

The invite said to bring friends... plus you're a Life Churcher, she's a LifeChurcher -- so you practically know each other anyway. You can do the whole "God is good" "all the time" and "Whoever finds God" "finds life" thing with her. :)

 I hope your day has much less ridicudrama in it and much more cuteness like an Australian firefighter giving water to a koala bear.

I'm really excited about how junior high this sentence is going to come off: And I just want to make sure you know I wasn't meaning to imply that YOU had implied it was all about you or that you were selfish. (I'll give you a minute to re-read and make sense of that. Yikes.)

I enjoyed the first two seasons of Grey's. After that, lesbian affairs and fantasties of dead men somehow left me wanting more. 

Thanks for the encouragment! Always good to find someone who enjoys both the serious stuff and the biting sarcasm.
~the first words of the first FB message she sent me in '08. :)

What the crap, Capitol? Did not see that coming.  (message on Hunger Games)

Niles: How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia.

"carnations.....whaaaat a douche bag!"  -17 Again

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

Don't you worry your pretty striped head.
We're gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed.
Then we're gonna find my best friend, Doug,
And then we're gonna give him a best friend hug...

And I have to seem like an ogre. But you know me, and you trust me and we like each other. And we'll always be friends. And I would NEVER take you for granted in a million years..." -Michael Scott

And finally, an encouraging quote from Chet when I was having a rough day:

‎"Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint in the clouds of doubt. You never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."
