You Can Quote MEme
Okay, that's enough of the sappy from me.
Back to typical Shell.
Supahmommy and MommyBrain's All About MEme subject for the week is: What is your favorite quote and why?
Well, because every quote I can think of- with the exception of As Good As It Gets' "Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here." which is our family motto- are sappy, I'm going with something slightly different.
Once upon a time, at the end of my college days, I was addicted to a little show called Dawson's Creek. The whole will-they-or-won't-they and then Pacey-or-Dawson thing had me riveted. I thought I could have been Joey Potter in another life.
Every Wednesday, from 8-9pm, no one was to bother me. Ah, the days before dvr.
A boyfriend once called me at 8:55 on a Wednesday night: right at the end of the show- critical defining moment/cliffhanger time. I answered the phone by screeching, "What the hell are you thinking? It's not 9pm yet!" And then I hung up on him.
In case you're wondering, he later apologized profusely for that. And then I dumped him shortly after that for being spineless. *Shrugs*
But, back to my love affair with the show. I would watch with anticipation and end up sobbing my way through many shows.
Even if you never saw an episode how dare you, you can still appreciate some of my favorite quotes from the show. Remarkably deep, coming from teenagers.
Dawson: But what good is their love if it's not strong enough to overcome those circumstances?
Joey: Because in spite of the circumstances... they never stop loving.
Jen: Don't give up on your lost causes, you never know when your luck will change.
Jack: I don't believe in perfect love. But I do believe that there are people whose lives are inextricably intertwined.
Btw, wanna see how Dawson's Creek had far reaches? Check out this quote from the show from May of 2001: Dawson: It's become obvious to me that in life, you're either a Mac person or you're a PC person. The choice defines you.

Mr. Brooks: Do you know why so many great pictures are about love triangles? Simple. For every piece of happiness, there's also a piece of unhappiness. If you haven't told both sides, you haven't told the whole story.

Pacey: I don’t regret anything because it’s life’s little twists and turns and bumps and bruises that make you who you are. Why would I regret that?

HAHAHA My daughter use to make me watch DC with her! Glad your outta SappyVille.. my single butt didn't even go there yesterday!
Oh yeah- Dawson's Creek. All my roommates watched it religiously. I used to make fun of 'em until one day I say down for an episode... ahhhh, Pacey!!!!
I LOVED Dawson's Creek. It was part of our "routine" in college. We'd watch that and 90210 together in our dorm room. LOL
Great quotes.
I was more of a 90210 girl... And I've got a lot of my favortie quotes in my blog's sidebar!
I like Mr. Brooks quote, that is very true, even if you aren't talking about love triangles
I loved that show!
The last quote from Pacey is great!
I wasn't into DC. I was a 90210/Melrose addict. I still get lost in marathons of those shows.
Now is that the show where they did that absolutely hilarious SNL spoof with the shooting? OMG, I loved that!!!!
Aww I loved that show...I also loved 90210...ok, basically, I loved every soapy teenage drama on TV during the 90s. Great quotes, I think the last one is my favorite.
Oh I am sorry I never got into that show. I knew about it. I am so like that with Grey's and some other shows. I do love my t..v. I hope you have a great week. On Friday I am hosting my Family Fridays. It is a time to share a story about someone in your family if you want to stop by..
OMG Dawsons' and Felicity,,, all phone calls were TOTALLY banned the whole two hour stint.
so much joy!
I loved Dawson's Creek too. Those kids were deep.
total flasback!
I was too "old" when that show was running.. have seen a few reruns.
I was into, dare I say, Falcons Crest..
great quotes!!
and oooo pacey i miss your pretty face!
Okay, I love that Jack quote too. Also, I get totally irritated with Andy if he is away from the house, and either calls or shows up in the middle of a show I watch. I don't watch many, so when I do, I want peace and freakin' quiet.
I LOVED Dawson's Creek. In fact, I used to watch it with a "guy friend" on the phone. That's right. We'd have a phone date to watch DC. I was obsessed.
I used to be a PC person. But ever since my husband got a Mac I have changed sides, I think its a better definition.
I never really got into Dawson's Creek, but I think its mostly because we could never get it in clearly on my old TV back home. Thank goodness for cable....
;D
I'm too old for DC. I was more a 90210 girl. But I'm trying to hold on to my youth by being a MAC!!!
I'm ashamed...I never watched it :(
Dawson~ swoon~
I loved dawsons creek too...pacey was a cutey! never was a big fan of jen....was always team joey! :)

I never got into DC! :-(
But speaking of quotes, I actually spent sometime online trying to find this one certain quote, and I found it! Its now the marquee on my screensaver at work.
Oh you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that, its called EVERYBODY and they meet at the bar. -Drew Carey
Oooh, I really like Jack's quote. Nice vocab. ;)
ok well i never saw that show - i was too old for it to appeal to me. i think. i am the 90210 generation. and am profoundly embarrassed about THAT.
thanks for sharing the quotes
Hate to burst your bubble but those quotes aren't by teenagers, but by the script writers who are adults. Unless of course these were said outside of the show.
I never did get into the DC thing. My guilty pleasure was One Tree Hill. There are some classic lines in that show, too!
Ah yes, wisdom from The Creek! :-D But the line from "As Good As It Gets" definitely works for so many people! ;-)
I have to admit I never watched Dawson's Creek. I will say those are some pretty good quotes though.
Oh how I LOVE Dawson's Creek! I am a big fan of Pacey :) I watch Fringe just to stare at him and hear his voice! This show - as evident from your quotes - was ahead of its time and a classic!
I never got into Dawson's Creek, however, I was a HUGE Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fan.
We all have our weaknesses!
I never saw that show...I was more a funny sitcome type of gal...still am.
I *gasp* never watched Dawsons Creek. Not once. Zilch. Never watched 90210 or Friends either (well, I have watched Friends reruns - just never watched them when they came out!)
Some very powerful quotes though! I am guessing teenagers didn't actually come up with them... oops... hope I didn't ruin it for you... LOL
well I am PC in transition to a Mac...scary world to move from one to the other. My fav quote at the moment is a bit more brief -- I can only please one person per day, today is not your day and tomorrow does not look good either.
I remember the quote from As Good As It Gets. Very good movie....funny quote!
I have never watched Dawson's Creek though.
I've never seen Dawson's Creek, but it seems like they had some decent writers for a high school drama!
dearest shell. i thought you were really drop a bomb when you started with "in college i was addicted to:"-- wait-- i guess you did.
i also love that you can't just have ONE favorite quote from dawson's creek.
my quote is regarding the just dance competition.
“My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.” Arnold Schwartzenegger
oops! wrong one!
here, i found it:
“If it bleeds, we can kill it.”
that's right, bring it bitchez.
Oh, Dawson.
I didn't start watching that show until it was well into reruns on TBS. One day, I accidentally saw the very first episode. When I realized what they were doing, I set my alarm for 8:55am every day so I could watch that show before class.
One of my family's favorite quotes is from Bull Durham: The world is made for people who are not cursed with self awareness.
We say that whenever we run into someone stupid.
I've never seen DC. I think I'm in the same Melrose group up there
I try to retain quotes but they just run right through me like mexican food (-:
I never saw Dawsons Creek....
I love the sell crazy quote tho! My family needs that one,especially with the SIL's!!
Oh man, I don't even know what I'd put as my favorite quote. There are just TOO MANY CHOICES
Hi
My name is Daffy and I'm a PC
Never watched Dawsons Creek...I'm guessing it would play on that thing people call a T.V. I'm not real sure I remember what that is, its been so long since I've seen one in action....
This cracked me up! I used to love love love Dawson's Creek. And isn't it funny to think of those days before DVR? I'm so used to having everything right at the tip of my fingers!
I have never seen that show but they are great quotes.
I still love Dawsons Creek! I was so sad when they stopped playing the syndicated episodes! I so loved Pacey!
I should have joined today! I was just not online! Darnit. I love quotes and I love Dawsons my roommate and I did the same thing. We would sit on the couch with a bottle of lotion each--oh, that sounds so wrong ha ha well we would each lay on one side and we would give each other foot rubs while we watched and we would NEVER let our boyfriends call during the show!!!!!
You make me laugh! I never watched Dawson's Creek, I know, how dare I, but I still watch Friends and quote them often! The good shows never die!
Mmmm, The Creek. How I loved/hated you. Often at the same time.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Moonstruck and is said by Cher:
In time, you'll drop dead and I'll come to your funeral in a red dress!
I have always wanted to say that to someone.
those are fabulous!heehee!! I liked that show!! they were all so cute!
I love that show.
Yes, I used present tense, love.
I haven't seen every episode, but I've seen a lot of them...hm. Maybe I will buy the seasons...
xoxo
Ha hahahahahah

I just made fun of it.
Damn that Katie.... she got tom cruise out of that.
