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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
