"There is a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone.
"Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don't have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart?
"Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever . . ." -Meredith Grey, "Grey's Anatomy"
*smooches...wondering how the writers crawled into my brain*

True Dat!
"What was the reason you got married?"
"Oh, when you love somebody and you know it, what else do you need?"
"Yeah, but how can you know that?"
"How can you not?"
-Mike Seaver discussing cold feet he felt about his impending nuptials to Julie, the nanny, with his grandparents, on the TV show "Growing Pains." Realer advice was never given out by a fictional character.

sometimes you need a reality check; sometimes cheesy 80s comedies can be that reality check.

JADED CONTEST: Are YOU The Master Of Movie Quotes?
There's one simple way to find out!
Below are 20 quotes from random movies of a variety of genres. You need to name the character who said it and the film from which it hails. And yes, spelling counts, as does the accuracy of the movie titles and character names. Email your answers to me at rpenzo@thejadednyer.net.
The FIRST email I receive with the MOST CORRECT answers is the winner. I can't stop you from googling the answers, but I should hope that you're trustworthy and that you'll answer off the top of your head with what you TRULY know. Please, for the sake of the contest, don't put answers in the comments. That would be #RUDE.
Your prize? Well, bragging rights, of course. OH, and a signed copy of my book My Ego Likes the Compliments...And Other Musings on Writing and a Jaded NYer T-shirt. That's some good swag, son!
Ready to play? OK... let's go!
1- "You'll stay up til this job shines like the top of the Chrysler Building!"
2- "I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit."
3- "Liking both Marvin Gaye and Art Garfunkel is like supporting both the Israelis and the Palestinians."
4- "If Brooke Shields married Groucho Marx their child would have your eyebrows!"
5- "I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands."
6- "I didn't bring your breakfast, because you didn't eat your din-din!"
7- "You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. Neither one of those is Mexico!"
8- "You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!"
9- "Whether or not what we experienced was an According to Hoyle miracle is insignificant. What is significant is that I felt the touch of God. God got involved."
10- "There isn't a day in my life when I haven't felt like a fraud. I mean priests, doctors, I've talked to them all. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt that."
11- "Well, I see your hobbies include 'drinkin', smokin' weed, and all kinds of ill shit.'"
12- "The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."
13- "A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark."
14- "Maybe if you showed Dr. Zaius the proper respect, Dr. Zaius would stop showing you the POO!"
15- "I want to lie together without clothes on."
16- "When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly."
17- "Don't let them bury me! I'm not dead!"
18- "BREAD MAKES YOU FAT?"
19- "Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy."
20- "This whole baby thing baffles me, I mean you have it, you raise it, you basically screw it up, it resents you, feels guilty for resenting you and then it has a baby, which only perpetuates the vicious cycle."
How many did you know?
