Alright, I'll start us off. My parents and I were at an open house, and I had my iPod on. We ended up getting separated, since we were going to the same place, the basement, and I ended up going the wrong way. This ensued. #QUOTE#'''Tropers/RedWren''': I thought, "Okay, the monster's gonna pop out now." Since an upbeat song was playing, it was gonna be coupled with Musical Dissonance. Then I realized it was Christina Aguliera's 'Fighter,' which didn't fit that, so I was fine. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': Not really. It could mean you were going to beat the monster. #QUOTE#''song changes to 'Everywhere' by Michelle Branch'' #QUOTE#'''Tropers/RedWren''': Except the next song was a love song, and so the werewolf would turn back into my boyfriend, and I don't have a boyfriend. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': Talk about changing the world.

This troper, on a date: #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' Well, you're certainly brave, aren't you? Not many guys would go for the cuddle five minutes into the first date. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' RefugeInAudacity, my dear. If confidence is sexy, turning it up to 11, maybe giving it the Tim Taylor treatment would be even sexier, right? #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' I've...umm...never thought of it that way before. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Go BeyondTheImpossible. It's more fun that way. And besides, what's the worst that can happen, you slap me and tell me to go to hell? Then I find out we're not compatible and knock off for lunch. #QUOTE# ''I lean in to steal a kiss. It works.'' #QUOTE# '''Girl:''' You got any other nuggets of wisdom I should know about? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Yeah. You know how they say all's fair in love and war? Well, by that logic, I am to love what ColonelKilgore from ApocalypseNow was to war. And...*pause*...I love the smell of whatever shampoo you're using in the morning. Smells like...victory.

You sir, are MadeOfWin.

But This Troper™ thinks that that last line could've used a little more sunglasses, one liners, and '''[+++YEAH!!!+++]'''

This Troper thinks that perhaps the original Troper is lying. It all sounds a little too...fluid to be real. Then again,it could just be that RealityIsUnrealistic

A conversation this troper had on the bus with a 22-year-old friend of his after said friend had been mistaken for a 16-year-old: #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Well, theoretically, it could be a societal side effect of DawsonCasting. #QUOTE# '''Him:''' Hmm, that's an interesting thought. #QUOTE# (Pause) #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Do you actually know what Dawson Casting is? #QUOTE# '''Him:''' No actually, but I didn't want to look stupid.

This troper, Intro to Old Testament class. #QUOTE# '''My Professor:''' You'll find a lot of elements from the Bible in classic tales. Like Pinocchio in the BellyOfTheWhale. #QUOTE# '''Me:'''Or like Job and JackAndTheBeanstalk, where they're dirt poor and become WealthyEverAfter? #QUOTE# '''My Professor:''' Yeah. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' And then there's Jonah himself with his RefusalOfTheCall. #QUOTE# '''My Professor (to the class):''' There's a lot more of these story elements you'll find everywhere. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' You mean tropes? #QUOTE# '''My Professor:''' Yes, tropes.

Me and my siblings were watching the beach episode of Avatar... #QUOTE# '''Brother:''' In fiction, people do this thing where they psychoanalyze each other the middle of a conversation... people don't do that in real life! #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I don't think so. I think you're just saying that because your mommy didn't love you.
