The Pudding Story

I'm not sure if I've ever told this story on this blog before... but I'm going to talk about this now! This is an actual story too! So this is a real Scribble about my Real Life. Scary! I feel like I never talk about that anymore! 

So when I went to 6th Grade it was a new school for me. It was a Grammar School that I just started in 6th Grade and I went to public school in kindergarden-5th grade... so I was the new kid and the school was a bit different for me. And the group of friends I made were very nice and I'm still friends with most of them today... so that was good. But when I first met them I was sort of known as the girl that laughed a lot. I laughed at the end of every sentence... I don't think I do that anymore- but I'm not sure. I did that pretty much all through high school and some of college. But I laughed a lot... and I had a funny laugh too. I would try to laugh like Karen from Will and Grace because she's my idol... Seriously- as a kid I dreamed of being Karen Walker when I grew up... and I actually think I'm doing a good job at that. 

Anyway... so I would laugh a lot and my friends somehow took that as "Ohhh Shannon will laugh at anything! She'll laugh if you say pudding." So I laughed when they said pudding... and here's the thing... Pudding is not particularly funny or unfunny. I laughed at it because that's what my friends wanted and I liked them... so I made it funny. 

Then flash forward many years later...I'm still friends with most of the same people- and we were all at lunch together and it was brought up. My one friend said "Hey remember when you used to laugh at Pudding." And I said "haha yeah... you know I didn't think that was particularly funny..."

*Glass Shatters* 

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!!?!?! YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FUNNY????" 

I was pretty shocked that this was the reaction so many years after the fact... and I don't totally understand why they thought I thought pudding was so funny... it's just pudding... I don't really think many people find it that funny. It sounds a little funny... the way it moves is a little funny... but the word itself is nothing to crack up over... I thought that a group of women over the age of 21 would realize I hadn't exactly found it that funny... but they were pretty shocked and they felt a little betrayed. I think everything is okay now-I don't lie at all... but they wanted me to laugh at pudding... so I laughed! lol. 

Anyway I'm not saying don't be yourself just to get others to like you because I don't think the girl that laughed at pudding was someone other than Shannon... it was just a little exaggerated and I was just playing to my audience. So... yeah. 

And I did laugh a lot... and in retrospect now I think Pudding is a little funny... although I don't really laugh out loud when I hear the word. I'll laugh quietly in my own head sometimes when I think of pudding. 

And I don't think that the laughing at pudding is why these people are friends with me. I like to think it's more about me laughing hysterically at pudding for them that made us friends and why we're all still friends today. 

So yeah... I do have some pretty interesting stories with how my friends and I all came to be friends... so I should probably talk about those stories too because... I feel like no one else would have stayed friends with me for with these types of stories... so that's kind of funny. Not that I did anything bad- but it's just stupid stuff like talking about the existence of time and things like that that most people would be like "Nope that's the crazy friend!" 

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
