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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
