quotes from class....

"the demand a few years ago skyrocketed...if you could spell I.T. they would hire you." --norton (I.T. as in information technology)

"that first game we underestimated you and we got took." --guy from my basketball class (muwahhahaha...thursday mornings are fun)

and some random quotes from the christmas break .....


sister 1: sharon, i like your shirt. its like retro.
sharon: thanks. but its not retro. its just...normal.
sister1: no, its so retro. dont you think??
sister2: yeah, its retro. ......actually i dont even know what retro means.

small brother: yeah, sharon, have you like ever even been on a, ya know, date? (geeze, is it that bad?? YES, I have, thank you...)
small brother: oh. i didnt remember you ever going on one.

sharon at sonic-
car hop person: that will be $1.61
sharon hands car hop $2 and one penny, in order to get back 40cents, not 39.
car hop person: did you want the change from that?
sharon glares. am i not obviously thinking about the change i will receive if i just handed you a penny? 40 cents goes a long way towards buying my next drink...
sharon: no.
car hop person: thanks! have a great day.
sharon glares, but at least i wasnt cheapskate.

boy in senior level class before semester break: i seriously need to go home and clean my apartment.
other boy: are you graduating or something?
first boy: no...
other boy: so you're coming back to the same apartment?
first boy: yeah
other boy: then whats the point of cleaning it?

sharon at bree's apartment, wearing some clothes of bree's that didnt make the london cut.
bree: "ohh look....its mini-Bree."

sharon selling back a textbook, talking to friend keith about the final we'd just taken.
wait in line--25min.
keith sells his book back, receives $90.
book lady: ohh, haha, you'll get $90 too.
book lady rings it up.
book lady: ohh, umm, actually we just met our quota. would you take $35 for it?
sharon leaves to go stand in line at another bookstore, off campus. receives $60 for textbook. annoyed.

sibling: what brand of strings do you put on your guitar?
sharon: i used to use Martin, but this past year or so i've been using Elixir.
sibling: Elixir?? i thought that was like....diarrhea medicine.



for those of you concerned, i did finally get my room clean and all my christmas presents put away. i had to throw a super bowl party to motivate me though...knowing all those people were coming over got the job done.


i really do like the idea of a 'combo meal' at food establishments. besides the implied cost savings, whether they actually exist or not, i detest ordering. i dont know why, i just hate it. so the ability to simply say....i'll take a number 14....with chicken...mmm rosas. i digress. or any number, i'll take a 5. a 3. much easier, than ordering the actual food you want. but i always feel bad for the person taking my order, because there are so many questions they must ask, particularly at like say fazolis. would you like meat sauce or marinara sauce? garden or caesar salad? and what would like to drink? anything else? i know they must get sick of asking these same questions. so i embarked on a campaign to save them this trouble by saying things like this: i'll take a number 3, with meat sauce, ceasar salad and a coke. then the say, your total is blah blah blah and please drive forward. excellent! but then i have situations like these...

sharon at sonic: yeah can i get a number 3 with mustard and no onions. with tater tots and a coke.
speaker person: ok i have a number 5 with no lettuce or tomato. what would you like to drink?

sharon at taco c: can i get a taco combo, with two soft tacos with chicken, and a coke?
speaker person: ok i have a taco combo, beef or chicken with those?
sharon: umm, chicken
speaker person: and to drink
sharon. sigh. coke.
speaker person: your total is blah blah blah. please drive forward.

so i gave that up. and just let them ask their stupid questions. after all, maybe they enjoy asking those questions? my next plan is to simply avoid the combo meal altogether. i dont really care for french fries anyway. on second thought, maybe i'll just eat at my house.
