Quotable Quotes

(Given to me by my friend Beth H....thanks Beth, this is great! Let the truth be told): Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy...The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Now MEN...Men are like fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have with dinner. (My brilliant idea for Juan's brother's band "256"---by the way, buy their CD when they get famous!!!): You know what you should do when you're checking the sound, you should say "Check, check, 256, check, check". So, Randy did that & it was so great! So, now I can officially say that I started that tradition! GO 256!!!!!! (From my friend Mallory M....also a good one!): Never make someone your priority while allowing yourself to be their option. (From Janessa Rae, my twin of course!): Oh and Joy, remind me to tell you the funny story about how people think I made you up---that I photoshop all my pictures of us in my room so it looks like I have a twin....no has ever seen you before so you are pretend, hehe. (Speaking of the people from Ball State) (From the movie "Elf" with Will Ferrell, quote by Will aka Buddy the Elf): "I just like to smile. Smiling is my favorite." (The following 12 quotes are from the book "He's just not that into you" by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo.....writer and consultant for Sex and the City show.....by the way, these aren't meant to bash on men or anything, just my favorites from the book which by the way, every girl should read!!!!): "When it comes to men, deal with us as we are, not how you'd like us to be" by Greg "The guys get to pick. We're supposed to put on our little dresses and do our hair and bat our eyes and hope they choose us. Why don't you just tie my corset too tight so I can faint in front of some man who'll swoop me out of the way just before the horse-drawn carriage runs over me? That'll get his attention." by Liz (speaking of how Greg thinks girls should wait for men to ask them out instead of the being the pursuer) "I don't give our my phone number because guys rarely call me when they say they're going to. My name is ______, and if you want to call me, find my phone number." by Greg (speaking of a girl he met in a bar once and what she said to him when he asked for her phone number) "Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just THAT crazy! Bullshit. With the advent of cell phones and speed dialing it is almost impossible NOT to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. We may try to make you think differently, but we men are just like you. We like taking a break from our generally mundane day to talk to someone we like. It makes us happy. And we like to be happy, just like you. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you." by Greg (speaking from the chapter called "He's just not that into you if he's not calling you....men know how to use the phone" "The word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes" by Greg (again from the "too busy to call" chapter) "1f you don't believe Greg...100% of men polled said they've never been too busy to call a woman they were really into. As one fine man said, 'A man has got to have his priorities'" by Greg "You picked a lemon. Throw it away. Lemonade is overrated" by Greg (speaking of pitching a guy that is so into you but somehow just disappeare from the face of the earth, face it....he's just not that into you if he doesn't have the respect to either break up with you or let you know if he's moved out of state) "No answer is your answer" by Greg (written in the "What you should have learned from this chapter"...if he doesn't answer your calls or you never hear from him again, that is your answer.) "If you date, you will meet your share of weirdos and jerks. That is as sure as death and taxes" by Greg "You already have one asshole. You don't need another." by Greg (from "What you should have learned from this chapter"....from the chapter titled "He's just not that into you if he's a selfish jerk, a bully, or a really big freak"....hmmmm reminds me of a few people!) And finally, at the end of the book, here are the Standard Suggestions that you should set up for yourself (i'm talking girls here) for your standards: 1. I will not go out with a man who hasn't asked me out first. 2. I will not go out with a man who keeps me waiting by the phone. 3. I will not date a man who isn't sure he wants to date me. 4. I will not date a man who drinks or does drugs to an extent that makes me uncomfortable. 5. I will not date a man who makes me feel sexually undesireable. 6. I will not be with a man who's afraid to talk about our future. 7. I will not, under any circumstances, spend my precious time with a man who has already rejected me. 8. I will not date a man who is married. 9. I will not be with a man who is not clearly a good, kind, loving person. (Quote from the movie "Elf", quoting Will Ferrell again): "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing it loud for all to hear" (Quote is from an Unknown Source...got off of Janessa's profile): "You hate school you say? Well, they have groups for that. It is called everyone and they meet at the bar." (Quote from my friend Saba!!!): "Wait for the guy that pursues you, the one that makes every day seem magical, the guy that makes you feel so amazing about yourself and can make you smile every minute you are with him. Wait for the guy who shows you off to his friends when you are in sweats, but appreciates when you get all dolled up for him. Wait for the guy who puts you at the center of his universe, because obviously he will be at the center of yours." (The following quotes are from the Dec. 2004 Reader's Digest): 1."You have to be first, different, or great. If you're one of them, you may make it" by Loretta Lynn 2."If you're lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send teh elevator back down" by Kevin Spacey 3."My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better" by Marlo Thomas (Quote I got off of Janessa's profile, yet another great one...) "I know it hurts...But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got" by Garden State (Read this driving the other day on a bumper sticker, thought it was interesting...) "I bet you that Pro-Choices are glad that their parents weren't" (A classic...LOL): "Shit happens." (Great quote from my cousin Keri): "Well sometimes a wedding is just like Prom with presents." (Quote that I said the other night at Milcreek Tavern regarding the 256 T-shirt I bought....by the way, 256 is an awesome band!!!!): "Well, ya know how it just says 256 on the front....well, we should keep that on the front, and on the back, we should write 'I'm with the band.'" (Got this from someone's profile on Instant Messenger): "Today we salute you, Mr. Stressed Out College Student During Exam Week. As you sit in your lonely cubicle in the library, doped up on starbucks & aderol, you think to yourself, am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life? The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage, and I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you have checked your buddy list 800 times. Christmas break is just days away, and your prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold bud light after that last exam, because for most of us, christmas will be spent in rehab." (The next three are from my friend Saba's profile): "Life would be perfect if sweatpants were sexy...Monday mornings were fun...junkfood didn't make you fat...girls didn't cause drama, boys weren't so confusing...you always had time to do what you wanted... nothing was regrettable...and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow" "I wanna be the reason you smile" "As we grow up we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to let you down will. You will have your heart broken, more than once and it will get harder every time. You'll want to break hearts so just remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for something an old love did. You'll cry because you feel alone & you'll cry because people won't leave you alone & you'll lose someone you love. So take pictures, laugh too hard & love like you have never been hurt because every minute you spend mad or upset is a minute of happiness that you can never get it back!" (New Years Eve quote from my good friend Chad B): "I'm a photographer! I'm a photographer!" hahahha, inside joke (Not so much a quote, rather a memory from New Years Eve): Adam Kieft doing the Harlem shake! LOL Now that is a sight to see! Wonder where he learned that.... (Found this on www.comedy-zone.net): "Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." by Charlotte Whitton (Quote from New Years Eve from Shelia): "Stop bullshittin'."            ******http://joyvanoeffelen.tripod.com/
