"It was the last dying echo of a desperate cry for help that was never made and thus never heard."

~ Me about one of my songs

"I'm shameless, but I'm not that shameless."

~ Nikki

Me: Matthew, what kind of animal is this? *holds out Jude the hamster*
Matthew: *thinks* Jude!
Me: No, that's his name. What kind of animal is Jude?
Matthew: A PET!
Me: What KIND of pet?
Becky: A ham -
Me: A hamster!
Matthew: He's a Judie-Jude!

(Trying to teach my 2-year old cousin what kind of animal my hamster Jude is.)

"You know, when I look at the moon, I think of toenail clippings."

(Uncle Gary, upon looking at the moon as a white sliver.)

"Too many people don't know what they're doing."

"These happy homes do not look so happy."

(My sister Becky, while driving through the desert on holiday and seeing a few houses. Nobody said happy homes, however, until she did.)

Me: Hey Joy, remember that one band you like, the *whispers* "Naked Ladies"?
Joy: Yeah...
Me: Well, I have a solution! The song you like is appropriate, right?
Joy: Yeah.
Me: Well, just call the band "The Ladies". Like, "The Stones" or something...
Joy: But they're all boys.
Me: So what? I like a band called Queen, and they're all guys too!
Joy: ...But they all have pierced ears!
Me: ....I like Queen....

(Me talking to a friend, Joy, about a band apparently called the Barenaked Ladies which she is hesitant to listen to due to their name.)
