"Right. Let's sort the buyers from the spiers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting."

I hate ranch dressing. Yeah yeah yeah, I know that's not the general consensus. Joints smell like sour milk. In fact, I might think less of you if you eat it in front of me.
I like lemons more than limes.
It's impossible to take both of my dogs out at night because if one barks, the other one goes off and then it takes forever to get them inside.
I'm Lao but please don't say "oh cool!...what's Lao?". Also, I don't like saying laotian. I'm not from the effing ocean.
I love Anthony Hopkins's voice but not when it's all *hello clarice* creepy.
When I was in the fifth grade, I got sent to the principal's office for starting a food fight that I had nothing to do with. Sure, I had been throwing pizza sausage off my plate but the food fight thing was entirely on a different table.
Some friends and I were stopped by a policeman when we were running at night. This is what he said "If you were legitimately trying to exercise, that'd be okay but it looked like you guys were just running around." wtf is that about?
I cruise my friends' friends lists when I'm bored. I hate it when I see a cool picture and am c*ck-blocked by a private page.
Pretty handwriting is always great but I get a bigger kick out of it when it's from a guy.
When I quote a movie or tv, I get excited when people recognize it.
example:
"I want to say hello to my parents and my Kung Fu master, but they're all dead."
or "Hah! Sea kelp..I thought you said 'seek help.'"
Don't let me catch a TimeLife commercial for their compilation cds (i.e. maltshop memories) because I'll sit there and sing song snippets until five in the morning.
I prefer Haas to Florida avocados and flat leaf to curly parsley.
I enjoy constructing Ikea furniture.

JH: oh snap! you're buying the donuts! Some hipster probably dropped it.
Me: God bless the hipsters.
Steph: That's what they get for having duct tape wallets.
you learn something new every day:
Jimi Hendrix was left-handed, yet used right-handed guitars, playing them upside-down but re-strung for playing left-handed, so that the heavier strings were in their standard position at the top of the neck. Badass.
lyrics sung high volume at home
(or sotto voce in public):
I'm all for moderation, but sometimes it seems/
moderation itself is a kind of extreme
