Funny Quotes/Observations from High School Musical 1, 2, and 3

I started this list last fall, when I watched High School Musical (HSM) and HSM 2. Then I recently watched HSM again with my parents, which was funny, because my dad watched it with me originally, probably in 2008. Here are some quotes and funny observations, in no particular order. I tried to list the references as appropriate.

HSM 2: "Did you ever get on a ride and wanna get off?"- Bet On It
This happens to me often when I ride rollercoasters, but I wouldn't put it in a song.
HSM 2: How did Sharpay's parents get so rich? This isn't addressed. Normally people who own country clubs work at them as well, and the Evans family hangs out like it's a second house.
HSM 2: "No more waking up at 6 a.m." - What Time Is It
If I woke up at 6 for high school on a day with no club meetings, I would be very early. My high school started at 7:35.
HSM 2: Chad and Ryan switching clothes after the I Don't Dance sequence. No one addresses this. The fans have a popular theory that I won't mention here. Google it if you are curious.
HSM 2: "Get your Tiki Hawaiian costume on and let's hit the stage, brother!" -Sharpay to Ryan
I'm not sure about the actual quote, but it's still funny.

HSM: Kelsi's tripping as she tries to leave the auditorium and throwing her music everywhere. After this, she meets Troy and Gabriella. This is an exaggerated action for sure.
HSM: "Evaporate, tall person!" - Sharpay to Zeke
What an insult.
HSM: "Do you know something about this, small person?" - Chad to Kelsi
This sentence is odd.

HSM 3: "This tux is too baggy-- too tight. It makes me look weird." - Jason and Troy, A Night to Remember
The dance moves during this part of the song make me laugh, too.

What funny moments stick out to you from these movies? Comment below or on Twitter.

I'm currently reading Love Idol by Jennifer Dukes Lee.

High School Musical Songs Ranked, Part 1

Summer vibes and the arrival of HSM the Musical the Series Season 4 in August led to this ranking. My idea was to list all of the rankings in one post, but it will be too long. Songs are from the original trilogy. I'm starting at the bottom, and these songs are in no particular order. Sunday School Musical tier (yes, this exists)- Humuhumu song- originally only on the extended version of HSM 2, but now included on Disney+ *stuck in your head for days When There was Me and You- 3rd in Gabriella's solo songs. An impressive showcase of Vanessa's voice, but not the best in comparison. High School Musical (who says we have to let it go)- I understand the appeal of this being one of the few "musical style" songs in the trilogy, but I don't enjoy it.

The Waiting, Not Dating Narrative

I was taught not to chase boys, but to wait for the "right one." I heard it from my family and some from my church as a teenager and have carried it with me into my young adult years. It's a passive waiting. I say, "I'm waiting for my future husband" to cover up the fact I'm not making much of an effort to meet men. I'm not dating anyone. I wait for them to come to me, but they don't. From what I've learned this semester through hearing a speaker's story, that's not realistic. Is there a solution? Is it a problem that leaders assure teens that they will find Mr. or Miss Right? Should they change the narrative? As one who grew up on Disney movies and rom-coms, is it possible for my siblings' kids to grow up with another narrative? It will take a conscious effort on the part of those who interact with children to change this. It could be difficult, but it's better for them than being blindsided later in life with the possibil

Review of Riverdale "The Ides of March" and "How to Get Away with Murder"

I decided to combine two episodes for this post. The plot is getting nuts! Spoilers are in the following sections. Season 4 Episode 13 Betty broke in to the "sanctum sanctorum." No Baxter Brothers contract for Jughead unless he writes a great novel by Friday. This is every writer's nightmare. Archie could close one of his businesses. This wasn't surprising to me, because he has a lot going on while being a high school senior. Veronica is struggling to come to terms with her father's illness. She decides to anger him to keep his mental strength up by competing with the rum business. I couldn't help but laugh at this line from Hiram: "You've awoken the dragon. Prepare to be eaten." Brett from Stonewall does have a tape of Jughead and Betty in their dorm room. Is he the one who was taping all of Riverdale? Our main four decide to go to a Stonewall Prep party after Jughead has been thrown out from the school for plagiarism, with sketchy evide

New RomComs Review

Someone at Netflix got the romcom bug and released three romantic comedies in the past few months. I thought it would be fun to compare and contrast them in one post. The following sections contain spoilers . To All the Boys I've Loved Before: This is based on a book by Jenny Han. Lara Jean and Peter's relationship is believable. Although it starts as a fake ploy, Peter falls quickly for Lara Jean (this becomes obvious if you watch the movie a second time), and she soon has feelings for him as well. The actors have chemistry, and Lara Jean and Peter have deep conversations about self-esteem and losing parents (Lara Jean's mother died, while Peter's father left his family.). He helps her to come out of her shell, and she learns that people can be better than one's first impression of them. Lara Jean also learns to be honest about her feelings. This lesson comes about in an odd scene with one of her former crushes listening to her read notes from Peter. If you like r
