Gilmore Girls Gems *Cinnamon's Wake*

1) Historically socialising with a Nazi is found to be heinous and despicable. But let's try and remember who the real enemy was there. Not to excuse or justify any Nazism but I'd bet many were fearful to go against the regime so went along with it for self-protection. 

2) Passegiattas that's Italian for 'nice walks' which sounds so SEXYYYY when said in a foreign language. Give in to the passion of a passegiatta. Cats have amore for 'em. I can't stop saying passegiatta and want to go to Italia for a passegiatta with a hot Leonardo, Luca or Luigi. Yes pleasey, MAMMA MIA. 

3) 'I don't know how many French people you've met over the years but most of them are insufferable.' Mais oui, ma cheries. C'est vrai... ISH. I am not opposed to the occasional mocking of the French and their snail-eating, beret-wearing, moustache-twirling ways. We love ya really, Frenchies!!! <3 Gros bisous xxx But I do have a deep affection for my French friends :) You'd be challenged to encounter more fashion forward filles et garcons. 

4) The inevitable byproduct, of a blowtorch in the 'expert' hands of a kooky, accident-prone chef at a bake sale is a tablecloth inferno! Such delicate procedures should be handled with extreme care. CAUTION: Please do not try this at home. Desserts and furnishings will go up in smoke!! 

5) Lemonade is tasty and flame retardant. Handy little pointer for a fiery sitch :D 

6) A Mom dating their kid's teacher is frowned on as an unwritten rule, your child will probably freak out at the thought and parents will have a field day with this kind of thing. No matter how very casual, string-less and obligation free the courting their pants off may be. 

7) Clams will be resented for as long as you live, should it lead to your pet and partner becoming dyspeptic. This doesn't reflect well on the establishment or the coupons you cashed in. 

8) Coming to the corner store to see the boy-type (our favourite kind!) person you don't really know who's working there, buy a lettuce and only a lettuce (as you didn't have enough money for the mouse trap which you didn't need/want either) and shirking from speaking to him all conveys one thing... YOU HAVE A CATACLYSMIC CRUSH. 

9) The Bangles are soooooooooooo brilliant. Even with our Eternal Flame for the band, it doesn't mean you quit your job,  get a guitar and ruin your life. That and they already broke up! Supposing that The Bangles are an abhorrence to your earlobes, you insult me. 

10) The 2 greatest reasons to date: A clear attraction to each other and when you're of similar heights :D It could become the sexiest and dumbest mistake ever made or it could be that one you want to spend the rest of your life with. 

11) 'If there's something in your gut that you know you feel is right, you gotta go after it. No matter what.' When you get that tingly feeling about/towards something/someone, cast any fears aside and make it a reality. 

12) 'Jim Carrey he's just.. he's just funny.' (unless you are not a fan of the man and consider him to be the OPPOSITE of funny! I still like him a great deal more than Ben Stiller - for the rec) 

13) It's totally understandable that your child will be the one to get hurt, if you break up with some guy you've brought home. 'He might not be THE guy but then she gets all attached to him and then all of a sudden I decide that I don't like the way he eats or he hums incessantly or --Or the way he smacks his lips or how his hair isn't really his.' But maybe you should loosen the rules and stop being serious about this, if you make each other happy.

14) It's unobjectionable to go behind the 'sacred space' of a diner counter, when the onions have been forgotten on your 'damn fine burger' by some super inconsiderate, curmudgeonly person. BUT 'You don't do yoga on the Dalai Lama's mat.' 

15) Mourning a very fat, very beloved 260 year old (in human years) cat, is deserving of its very own wake in spite of them licking their privates. This tragic loss will bring the entire community together to support you through your suffering. Outsiders will see this as ten times of weird. 

16) There will be a collision when 2 people are in a rush, with bags of food to come through the same door. 

17) The death of a neighbourhood pet is a reason to forget and an excuse to rain check a date but ONLY if you live in Stars Hollow. Cancelling with your admirer at the last minute leaves him heartbroken. Make a for real promise *cross your heart and everything* that you want to re-schedule.  

18) You never really know how old someone is 'til you look in the medicine cabinet.' and they have been cut free from their chains of debilitating infirmities. 

19) Parents live to take care of your kids, who grow up so fast 'and then they take your clothes'. It's natural to be in a really dark place when you lose a child. Slap the unease out of your skull, that your marriage will go 'belly up from the pain of it all. Even though they loved each other.'

20) Show SOME interest in the great guy who has been bugging you for a while but begun to think its not reciprocated, by blurting out 'I AM interested' and then bolt. You'll know you like him if he makes your head foggy and feel big, epic things or your world stops just for a second when you're around them.  

21) 'You can't always control who you're attracted to, you know. I think the whole Angelina Jolie/Billy Bob Thornton thing really proves that'. But look how well thaaaat panned out. Romantic debacles are the Pitts but you'll be glad when you find your Brad :D

22) It isn't possible to be discreet about the person you're seeing. The information would have come out eventually and the other kids he teaches, probably 'won't be high-fiving me when they find this out'. Heads and eyes will roll. 

23) Debriefing your child over the briefs you plan on wearing the next day is ICK and certain to make them feel queasy. Despite the colourful imagery, don't all women want to possess a pair of panda bear underwear? 

24) You shouldn't be honest about why you skipped out on your own cousin's funeral (though you've never met her) for a cat's one. It isn't going to go down well with a relative and they may have an aneurysm, so you'll want to retract your words almost immediately. Ooops.
