In need of a psychoanalyst :P

 - 'God, Mom! Do you think I'd do that? I'm a feminist, you know. I don't need a man to make me happy.' It's just, you know, when that particular one is around, and I smell his neck, my oxytocin levels rise, and I feel calmer and more relaxed than I do when I'm alone. Or with anyone else.
- But there's a REASON I worry so much about her. Sometimes Lilly makes really bad choices. And then she gets hurt.
And true, sometimes she makes good choices – like dating J.P. – and gets hurt anyway.
But making out with some random Muay Thai fighter in her kitchen just one day after breaking up with her boyfriend of six months?
I don’t see how that can be a good choice.
- We're all going to sit down to dinner like a normal family. Just me, my mom, her husband, their kid, and my dad the Prince of Genovia. Oh, yeah. we're a normal family all right. No wonder I'm in therapy.
 - Parents. Seriously. First they get on my case because I won't get out of bed or do anything. Then I do what they want, and get out of bed and socialize, and they get mad about THAT too. You can't win.
- It's amazing how the more times change, the more they stay the same.
- And, OK, I spent most of the time I was dating Kenny trying to figure out how to break up with him. But still. She can't be mad at me for exactly doing what she's doing..can she ?
 Quotes from 'Seventh Heaven'.
Sooo totally in love with it :P

 - Still, I think my story, 'No More Corn!', is pretty good. I mean, it has everything a short story SHOULD have in it: Romance. Pathos. Suicide. Corn. Who could ask for more ?
- Mia: Um, yeah, but unless we’re going to CHARGE them to publish their stuff, I don’t see how that’s going to raise US any cash.
Tina: Don’t you see, Mia? We can charge people for copies of the magazine once we’ve printed it. I bet we’ll sell LOTS of copies.
Lilly: Thank you, Tina. The lack of jadedness in your response is quite refreshing compared to SOME people’s negative attitudes.
- He's gotta be about a HUNDRED now. He's so old, he looks like a cross between Larry King and a raisin.
- Because to me, J.P. is the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli. He's not John Paul Reynolds-Abernathy the Fourth. The Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli doesn't have a NAME. He's just... the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli. The guy I wrote a short story about. A short story that was rejected by Sixteen magazine. A short story I hope to expand into a novel someday. A short story at the end of which the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli throws himself under the F train. How can I talk to a guy I had thrown himself under a train - even if it WAS only fiction?
 - The truth is, I am not even the biggest Coldplay fan, because I don't really approve of the lead singer letting his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, name their kid Apple.
- But that is just how boys are. They are like freaks of nature.
- 'In any case, you're much too young to be so serious about a boy. A princess needs to kiss a lot of frogs before she can say for certain she's found her prince.'
- 'But there's another way, Grandmere. You might want to check it out. It's called being nice to people.'

Totally-like-ly-yours :P

 - Mysteries are okay in books, but in real life they kind of suck.
- If everybody would just concentrate on their personal strengths, the world would be a much better place.
 - 'But, Mia, you're pure and good of heart,' Boris pointed out to me. 'People who are pure and good of heart always beat out evil.' Um, yeah. In books like The Hobbit, for crying out loud.
- Indirect proof = assumption made at the beginning that leads to contradiction. Contradiction indicates the assumption is false and the desired conclusion is true.
Because Lana is pretty, she must be nice. Because all things that are pretty are nice.
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE.
Killer algae is pretty, but it is also deadly.
Postulate = a statement that is assumed to be true without proof.
I can pretty much postulate that I will lose today’s debate to Lana.
You know what? I think I might be getting the hang of this Geometry thing.
 Quotes from 'Give Me Five'.
Like-sooo-in love with the story :D
Dawn <3
 - Has he mentioned to you whether or not he's, um, planning on asking anyone ?
ANYONE? Just who do you mean by ANYONE? His DOG ?
You know what I mean. - [after a long paragraph of Mia complaining about everything wrong in her life]
You forgot to complain about your grandmother. - Helen Thermopolis: 'Frank, I'm pregnant.'
Mr Gianini: 'Oh OK. What do you want to do?'
Helen Thermopolis: 'Marry you.'
Mr Gianini: 'OK.'
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!Where is the romance in THAT ????
 - Great. I get to spend my summer looking up some old mummy's nasal cavity. My dream come true. Oh no, sorry, Mia. No hanging out at Coney Island with your one true love for you. No fun volunteer work tutoring little kids with their reading. No cool summer job at Kim's Video, rewinding Princess Mononoke and Fist of the North Star. No, you get to commune with a thousand-year-old corpse. Yippee !
- She fully deserved to have her Chanel suit ruined on account of being stupid enough to bring her DOG to MY BIRTHDAY dinner. I so wish I had seen this. No one would admit it later - not even Mom - but I bet it was really, really funny to see Grandmere covered in soup. I swear, if that's all I had got for my birthday, I'd have been totally happy.
 Quotes from 'Mia Goes Fourth'.
Like-totally-lovingly-yours :P
Dawn <3
 - 'Mia', Tina said, 'I really do not think you should ask Michael point-blank like that. He might run away in fear, like a startled fawn.'
- How many times in our academic careers are they going to tell us having unprotected sex can result in unwanted pregnancy and AIDS ? Do they think it didn't soak in the first five thousand times or something ?
 - 'What happened to you? You look like you swapped outfits with the sugar plum fairy.'
 Quotes from 'Third Time Lucky' !
So-totally in love with the series :P
Dawn <3
 - Mrs Gianini is immensely gratified to hear this, you can just tell. Old people like to hear nice stuff about their kids, even if their kid, like Mr Gianini is thirty-nine-and-a-half years old.
- All I can say is, be careful what you wish for. It just might come true.
- Or maybe it's just because my dad feels about Sebastiano the way I feel about my cousin Hank: I like him in theory, but in actual practice he kind of bugs me.
- Only unlike my dad, who was born and raised in Genovia but speaks fluent English, Sebastiano doesn't have a real keen grasp of the language. He kept forgetting to put the second syllables on to words. So narrow became 'nar'. Just like 'coffee' became 'coff'. and when he described something as magical, it came out as 'madge'. Even the butter wasn't safe. When Sebastiano asked me to please pass him the 'butt', I had to stuff my napkin in my mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
 - And probably, given my luck, it will turn out that Sebastiano isn't just in town to design me a dress for my royal introduction, but to kill me so that he can assume the throne of Genovia himself.
Or, as Sebastiano would say, 'ass' the throne. - 'Faint heart never won fair lady.'
- 'Lilly', I said. I had to keep my voice down so the driver wouldn't hear, up in the front seat. 'I am dead serious. He told me he loves me. I love you. That is what he said. It was completely random and weird.'
'He probably didn't say that. He probably said something else and you misunderstood him.'
'Oh, what ? I glove you ?'
'Well, of course not,' Lilly said. 'That doesn't even make any sense.'
'Well, then what ? What could Kenny have said that sounded like I love you, but wasn't I love you ?' - Jeez ! What's that Oprah's always complaining about - about how men aren't in touch with their emotions and don't share enough ? It sounds to me like Kenny's been doing enough sharing recently to make up for several centuries worth of masculine reticence.
- I said, 'I know.' I was wishing the floor of the gym would open up, like in It's a Wonderful Life, and that I'd fall into the pool underneath it and drown and not have to have this conversation.
 Quotes from 'Take Two' !
Like-completely yours :P
Dawn <3
 - That is not what you say to someone whose mother is having your baby. You say something like, 'Excuse me, Mia, can I see you a moment ?'
Then you take the daughter of the women with whom you have committed this heinous indiscretion out into the hallway, where you fall on bended knee to grovel and beg for her approval and forgiveness. That is what you do. - I can't believe it. I'm going to have to eat breakfast every morning with my Algebra teacher.
And what happens if I accidentally see him naked, or something ? My mind could be permanently warped.
 - Lilly dared me I wouldn't drop an eggplant onto the sidewalk from her sixteenth-storey bedroom window.
And I said I most certainly would, even though how stupid. Somebody could seriously get hurt. I am all for illustrating the degenerate lows to which America's teens have sunk, but I wouldn't want anybody to get their head bashed in.
But what could I do ? It was a Dare. I had to go along with it. I mean, it's bad enough I've never been Frenched. I don't want to be a branded coward too. - After all, how bad could a date with Kenny be ? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. That's what Grandmere says, anyway. Usually she's referring to slow waiters, but you get the drift.
 I love this series ! :) Princess diaries is full of hilarious lines and quotes. I'll publish my favorites in this section.
Like-Totally-Mia-ish-ly yours :P

 - There are about four million people in Manhattan, right ? That makes about two million of them guys. So out of TWO MILLION guys, she has to go out with Mr Gianini. She can't go out with some guy I don't know. She can't go out with some guy she met at D'Agostino's or wherever. Oh, no.
She has to go out with my Algebra teacher. - How come nice people like Princess Diana get killed in car wrecks, but mean people like Lana never do ? I don't understand what Josh Richter sees in her. I mean, yeah, she's pretty. But she's so mean. Doesn't he notice ?
- So what I want to know is, if my dad's a prince, how come I have to learn Algebra ?
I mean, seriously. - My mom likes to work when the muses move her. Since my dad pays most of our bills, this is not usually a problem, but it is not a very responsible way for an adult to behave, even if she is an artist. I swear, if I ever met my mom's muses, I'd give 'em such swift kicks in the toga, they wouldn't know what hit them.
- What do I need to know Algebra for, anyway ? They don't use Algebra in Greenpeace.
And you can bet you don't need it if you're a princess. So however things turn out, I'm covered.
 - FtLouie: For your information, I did not go mental. I just got tired of your sister always telling me what to do. Not that it's any of your business.
CracKing: What are you being so snotty about ? Of course it's my business. I have to live with her, don't I ?
FtLouie: Why ? Is she talking about me ?
CracKing: You could say that.
FtLouie: What's she saying ?
CracKing: I thought it wasn't any of my business.
I'm so glad I don't have a brother. - Mr Stuart teaches Health. He thinks he's God's gift to women. I haven't had him yet, since you don't have Health until sophomore year, but even I know that you should never go near Mr Stuart's desk, because if you do, he'll reach out and rub your shoulders, like he's giving you a massage, but everybody says he's really just trying to see whether or not you're wearing a bra.
If my mom ever went out with Mr Stuart, I would move to Afghanistan. - Love can do strange things to people.
