Hollywood Hooplah (with a little bit of Face Punch grouchiness thrown in)

While most of us normal citizens of the world are going about our unimportant little lives, the royalty of Hollywood continuously gives us excellent material for watercooler chats - or, more appropriately, blog posts.  Here's what's happening in the land of the beautiful this week...

Paris Hilton arrested for drugs......again

Looks like Lindsay and Paris are playing Prison Tag.

The infamous hotel heiress was busted last night in Las Vegas with COCAINE.  According to police, a vehicle was spotted with smoke wafting out of it that smelled suspiciously similar to marijuana.  A routine traffic stop revealed Paris and an unnamed male driver enjoying some reefer while they drove aimlessly through the city.  The arresting officer then found a substance in Hilton's pocket that was later determined to be cocaine. 

Wait, don't tell me....she'll use the same line Lohan used: "It wasn't my pants!"


Heidi has a change of......uh.....heart

With the attention from her split with Pratt dying down, the attention whore needed a new subject to whine to the press about, and this is it:  she regrets having her boobs done. 

Heidi has whined to MSN, MTV and anyone else who'll listen about her post-surgical enhancement depression.  She says, and I quote, "I'm desperate to go back to normal......It's heartbreaking. I can't live an everyday life." 

Oh, I'm so sorry that your huge fake boobs make your life miserable, Heidi.  You know, the ones you just HAD to have, along with the new nose and various other alterations.  God forbid you spend your money on a worthy cause, like, say the homeless or starving kids in Indonesia.  Nope, you spend ridiculous amounts of money on surgery to look like a Malibu Barbie, only to change your mind less than a year later. 

On top of this, she's COMPLAINING becauser her plastic surgeon DIED.  Yep, poor Doc dies in a tragic car accident, and all she cares about is that she now has to find a new doctor.  Could she be anymore selfish?

It's the Sean-Jean Battle of Words

Sean Penn is not happy with Wyclef Jean.  Not at all.

Penn made remarks about Jean's attempt to run for President of Haiti when the singer first made his intentions known.  Jean's candidacy bid was refused, which calmed activist Penn down a bit.  Earlier this week, however, Jean announced his plans to fight the decision and do whatever needs to be done to run for President.

Penn has really good points defending his position on the matter - I agree with all of them - which just makes Jean all the more angry and increases the name-calling.  Penn believes that Jean has used his celebrity in a useful way for the earthquake assistance, but that's where it should stop.  He made references to Jean's absense in Haiti during the last six months, as Penn has been there with various other celebrities participating in the relief effort.  Penn feels, as do I, that just because you're a celebrity does not mean you're qualified to run a country. 

Well that's all of the stuff going on in Hollywood right now that's even remotely interesting. 

Toodles!

Fantabulous Friday

Oh, happy day.

It's CHICKA CHICKA YEAH Friday, y'all. School was great. I think I'm finally getting back into the swing of things (hey, don't judge, it's harder when you get old). Had my first test since starting back and ACED it like the genius my Mom thinks I am (love you Momma!). But enough of that...

I was pleasantly surprised to see stories popping up in the comments of my
post. I also received additional stories in my private email, and have had people asking if they could post a story in my NetworkedBlogs feed on Facebook. Before it's all over with I should have a plethora of stories to read to hubs, which is just FANTABULOUS. Apparently you folks like t-shirts. (But who doesn't?!)

So, although typically I'd make some sort of list of fantabulous things for y'all today, I have massive amounts of homework, studying and a project to work on, which will take up the majority of my weekend, so you'll just have to settle for this:

This dude - and I call him dude because he's obviously smoked something in his life - was out surfing with his buds and noticed

GREAT. WHITE. SHARKS.

swimming around beneath them in the ocean. So what does he do? Does he jump up and run across the water (which I think I might be able to do if I saw a shark - I fully believe Jesus would help me out on this one) to safety, never to return to the water again? Oh, no. Not this dude.

He goes home, rigs a camera to a pole, GOES BACK OUT INTO THE WATER IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT the next day and records the GIANT SHARKS (there's two) swimming around them in circles. For thirty minutes.

I'm convinced this guy is missing brain cells, because honestly, WHO does that?! Did he never see Jaws?

Anyhoo, the video is below, so check it out and form your own opinions of crazy dude.



Oh and hey, if you haven't submitted a hilarious first date story yet, go to my previous post and DO IT (like Nike, but without the cool check mark).

And have a FANTABULOUS weekend!

A Celebration, A Giveaway, An Anniversary & Another Blog Award

First up, let me give a big 'ol

MUCHAS GRACIAS

to Philly Girl over at Confessions of a Philly Girl. I gave her the Awesome Blog Award a few weeks ago, and when she selected her favorite blogs, she picked me as one! So....I have been awarded the award that I made!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

Here it is, in all of its awesome glory:
blog,blog award,awards,blogging award
I'm just uber-excited and feel all warm and fuzzy inside about it .

But enough of that...

There are two - count 'em, TWO - big announcements I need to make today.

Number One:

In a mere six days the hubs and I will celebrate our third anniversary.
Yep, three years ago September 1st we tied the knot, signed our lives away, bought the cow, made the big leap, said adios to the single life....and any/all other marriage-related phrases.

(You don't need to share congrats or well-wishes or anything, I just felt like sharing it with y'all since we're all BFFs here.)

Number Two (and the announcement YOU, THE READER will be more interested in):

In a few days I will hit the milestone of

100th POST!
This is me when I realized I'm nearing 100 (minus the fur and whiskers).

In ridiculously dramatic celebration of this momumentous occasion, I have decided to do a GIVEAWAY.

I never thought I'd do one of these, but we've all gotta cave sometime, right?

So, here we go with the contest explanation and prizes...

I want YOU

(You)










to comment (on this post) your most hilarious first date story. To be specific, it can be hilarious in a good way OR in a bad way (because sometimes bad can be funny). Include details, but don't give me a mini novel. I'll read the hubs all of your stories, and he (in his infinite wisdom) will pick the best story, aka Most Fantabulous.

I decided to go with first date stories partly because of our anniversary, but mostly because I like to laugh and you people are all so wonderfully entertaining.


Our Most Fantabulous winner will get their choice of one of the following AWESOME t-shirts from 80sTees (I will order whatever specific size you need):

(Note: If none of these tickle your fancy, feel free to browse the 80sTees website and maybe we can get you another t-shirt of your choice - be considerate and pick one of the $20 shirts though, please.)

The Most Fantabulous winner will be announced in my 100th Post Celebration (in about five days or so), which will be a post ALL ABOUT ME.

I know, you can't wait. It's okay to be excited.

So, if you have any questions (which you shouldn't because this was pretty detailed) about the contest or my general awesomeness, feel free to comment me or hit me up on the email: jb_parnell@yahoo.com

Love, peace and chicken grease, y'all!

Why the 80s rocked

For those of us who grew up in the 80s, looking back we always refer to the decade as lame, in general.  The clothes were awful, the hair was really awful, and most of the music sucked, too.  However, if you really stop and think about it (or use the help of YouTube to jog your memory)  you'll realize the 80s weren't all that bad. 

The movies (for the most part) were excellent.  The cartoons were awesome, and, I'll admit it, those jellies were pretty cool too (even though they KILLED if you stepped on a rock).

I'm sharing with y'all a few videos I found that explain the greatness of the 80s - videos, movies, people, etc.  



This video lists basically everything good about the 80s (although it did leave out some stuff, obviously):




Some of the music:


And, of course I HAVE to add a John Hughes tribute:


What do you think were the best parts of the 80s?

Ways to effectively agitate me

First, let me just say that I'm not an aggressive person.  I'm not short-tempered, ill-humored, moody, grumpy, mean or prone to PMS.  Sure, I have occasional bouts of complaining that occur - but who doesn't?  I'm generally a laidback, mellow kinda gal who just likes to laugh. 

That being said, there are a few specific things that very easily annoy me and will quickly turn me into sarcastically rude Jess (we don't like her, so it's best to keep her locked up). 

NOTE:  These will all be rated on a scale of  1 to Chris Brown, with Chris Brown being a 5, Mel Gibson drunken rage a 4, Mommie Dearest "No more wire hangers!" a 3, Kanye West proving a point a 2 and Elizabeth Hasselback rant a 1.


Not saying "Excuse me" when you bump into someone

Granted, this is a minor thing, but it's a pet peeve.  If you're walking down a hallway at school, or in a building, or if you're at a store, in the mall, wherever, and you bump into someone, just say, "Excuse me."  Please.  It's really not that hard to do, and it's common courtesy.  You know, that thing your momma taught you. 

Rating:  2













Interrupting me when I'm on the phone

Now, I know sometimes it can't be helped.  Let's say I'm chatting with my mother about the weather and the hubs is trying to pull a hot pan out of the oven before the dinner burns.  He might say, "Hey, where'd you put the oven mitts?"  That kind of interruption doesn't bother me.  However....

Let's say, for instance (this is completely hypothetical, by the way) I'm at work, and I'm in the middle of a phone call with an automated system - which I hate - and have maybe three more buttons to push before I reach the person I'm trying to get.  If you bust up into my office and insist on talking to me about something non-important (even after I make it quite obvious that I'm on the phone) to the point that I finally just give up and hang up the phone.....this is bad.  Very, very bad.  Because not only will I soon learn you interrupted my call for NO REASON WHATSOEVER, I will also have to redial and go through the tedious, time-consuming steps all over again.  Thank you very much.  You've just ticked me off. 

Rating:  4












Bad drivers

In the mood for a "Sunday drive" on a Monday?  That's fine, but don't do it between the hours of 6-8 and 2-6, please.  Some of us have jobs to drive to, school to go to, etc.  Most of us have a certain time to be there, so pretty please, could you save it for Sundays? 

(By "bad drivers," I'm referring to people who drive a good ten miles under the speed limit, take entirely too long to make turns, come to complete stops at stop signs - honestly, who does that?! -  and go 10 mph in school zones instead of the acceptable 25.) 

Rating:  1

People who are rude to servicepeople
(Waiters/waitresses, store clerks, checkout people, etc.)

We've all been waited on poorly, or had someone not be able to help us in a timely manner.  We've all felt like someone was incompetent at their job.  However, sometimes those people are just having a bad day, or a stressful day, and you're the jerk who decides to take it upon yourself to make them feel worthless and stupid.  I have to say to you:  GET OVER YOURSELF.   

I firmly believe that everyone - and I do mean everyone - should have to work in some form of customer service job for at least one year of their life.  Preferably as a young adult.  After dealing with a-holes for twelve months, you will never be rude to another serviceperson again.

Oh, and P.S.  Tip 15% people!!  If not that, at least the measely 10%.  Wait staff doesn't get paid as well as you would assume, and those tips are what makes up the difference.  If you don't want to tip, don't eat out!

Rating: 3
Last but not least, the straw that broke the camel's back:

LIARS

So you did something you didn't plan to do.  You screwed up.  You hurt someone's feelings, gossiped, stole, cheated, basically something awful and now you're ashamed.  We all make mistakes, that's true, but when I ask you about it

DO. NOT. LIE. TO. ME.

A few reasons:
1.  I'll know.  I have actually studied the telltale signs to look for (the same ones detectives use in  
     interrogations).  Plus I can smell BS. 
2.  Once you lie to me, I will (probably) never believe you again.   Ever.
3.  I will lose all respect for you.  (Respect is earned, people, not given out.)

Basically, just tell me the truth.  It may suck at first, but eventually the bad thing will be resolved and forgotten, and you won't have to keep telling lies to cover the original one (which always happens).

Let's all just be honest for a change, eh? 

Rating: 5

So, now that we all know what NOT to do around Jess, we can go on and have great, wonderful, fantabulous friendships. 

Toodles!

Movie Delight Monday

I woke up this morning in a great mood - don't ask me why.  Yes, I'm aware that it's Monday. Maybe I'm still on the "I'm a college student again" high I've been riding since last week. 

As has become Monday tradition here, today is


MOVIE DELIGHT MONDAY



For today's pick, I'm going with an 80s movie based in the 60s.  It stars one of my favorite 80s chicks, Phoebe Cates.  The soundtrack is rockin and the clothes are awful.  That's right folks, I'm talking about


The film starts out with four best friends heading off for one last weekend together as young single women.  Carson (Cates) is getting married soon to a doofus named Harlan, and her friends want her to let loose and enjoy herself.  Bridget Fonda plays Melaina, wild preacher's daughter who just wants to meet boys and be famous.  Page Hannah is Luanne, the senator's daughter and a terribly uptight girl.  Annabeth Gish is Pudge, the formerly fat friend who loves to dance. 

The girls tell their parents they're going to Fort Sumpter for the weekend, but instead head to Myrtle Beach where Luanne's parents own a summer home.  They immediately meet two local guys, Buzz and Chip, and shenanigans ensue.

While Melaina is worried about winning Miss Sun Queen so she can meet celebrity Jimmy Valentine and get revenge on two slutty locals, Pudge is befriending Chip, Carson is fighting off advances from Buzz and Luanne is fussing over everything.  Pudge decides to teach Chip how to Shag (a popular dance) so they can enter the big end of summer shag contest. 

This film has always been one of my favorites, mostly because of the soundtrack, but also because of the friendship between the girls and how each of them learn something pivotal about themselves over the weekend.  It's about knowing who you are as a person and who you want to be, despite what you were taught and what's expected of you.

Face Punch


First of all, I want to say

THANK YOU

to all of you sweet, wonderful people who left comments and gave much encouragement after my last post.  I sincerely appreciate all of you taking time out of your days to not only read my blog, but also comment frequently.  I'd make out with all of you if it wouldn't upset the hubs.


Secondly, I've been given the
AGAIN by the lovely Serena at I Left My Heart In London.  That's the third time this week.  It's so great to get recognition from people like you, Serena, as well as the others who have recently gifted me with awards.   This is for y'all:
Anyhoo, enough of the warm & fuzzy.  I've recovered from my exhaustion and found that I have plenty of energy to be annoyed today.  So let us begin with today's FACE PUNCH....


Lady Gaga


I know she's, like, EVERYONE'S favorite singer right now.  She's the twitter queen.  She's setting records and selling out concerts and will probably win every MTV VMA there is come September. 

So I did like "Bad Romance,"  but that's it.  The rest of it is all just terribly annoying to me.  I can't stand her ridiculous outfits, the hair, the makeup, the videos ALL over YouTube.

Basically my affection for Gaga has gone down the drain.  Our romance has gone bad, if you will.  (Hehe)  

Sorry Lady G, but you get a small face punch from me.  The only way to redeem yourself would be to scare Justin Bieber right out of the music business.  


Nascar

I've never liked Nascar.  Ever.  I don't understand at all why someone would want to watch fifity cars drive around in circles for hours on end.  Yeah, I get that the crashes are cool.  Still, that's not enough to convince me to watch. 

Nascar isn't pasted all over the news or anything, but I was unfortunate enough to overhear a thirty-minute conversation about it yesterday, and that was all it took for me to want to give them all a nice big face punch.



Speidi

I had to use this picture because it's proof that Heidi is a big fat liar.  Or, rather, a tiny, bleached-blonde plastic liar.  We all know they're attention whores.  We all know they'll fake a divorce just to get their pictures pasted all over magazine covers.  Basically, we all know they suck. 

I wish everyone would protest Speidi, just long enough for them to be banned forever from Hollywood, television, magazines and Entertainment Tonight. 


Government Officials and their spouses taking advantage of their positions by going on many unnecessary and frivolous vacations and calling them "visits to address situations"

I'm not naming any names (mostly because I don't want the CIA reading my blog.  They have no sense of humor), but there are some people  - who are high up on the importance list -  I feel are taking advantage of the free plane and accommodations set aside for political use, and instead using them for vacations. 

Now, it's true that if I had the opportunity, I'd probably want to take one or two trips to some exotic locations.  However, I would not take trips to places dealing with natural, ecological and other disasters with the front of a political visit, and instead go shopping and lay out. 

Just saying. 

So, teensy tiny face punch to you, unnamed people, because I want to continue to use my right of free speech via this blog.  Also, I don't want to be put on anyone's watch list.

Multitasking. OR Reasons I need a clone

So I don't know why I thought I was talented enough to transition into mommy, wife, housekeeper, church secretary AND college student smoothly.  This past week has been craziness. 

I'm exhausted.

Yesterday I thought Okay, I've made it to the weekend.  I can rest.  WRONG.  The laundry had to be caught up, house cleaned, et cetera.  Then this morning I had the bright idea of taking down the girls' cribs and going on a hunt for new beds.  That took almost all day (we just finished putting the new beds together about an hour ago).  So now I've used up an entire day off.  A day I was supposed to rest

Tomorrow is church, and it's also my children church team's Sunday to teach.  On top of that, I promised my sister and cousin I'd go to the movies with them after lunch.  We're going to see Vampires Suck, which I really want to watch, but I'm just so tired at this exact moment that I'd honestly prefer staying home and napping.  

I even planned on doing a Face Punch post for today, but didn't have the energy to be annoyed with anyone.

Aside from all of that nonsense, I feel like I didn't see my girls hardly at all this week.  I'm working longer hours since I went from three days to two, and of course school takes a good eight hours a day.  (Before school I was working a mere 12-14 hours a week, and the rest of the time I was stay-at-home mom.)  I also had a get-together with an old friend Thursday night which lasted from six until almost midnight.  No wonder I miss my kids. 

I know after a few weeks I'll adjust and be fine.  It's the initial changing that's the problem.  I'm a creature of habit.  Give me boring repetition - I'm happy with it.  

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this...

Fantabulous Friday

Wow. What a week.  New work schedule, started back at school, my youngest busted her teeth, my oldest hurt her foot, and on top of all that I stayed out entirely too late last night catching up with an old friend.  Sheesh.  I need a vacation.  Good thing it's

FANTABULOUS FRIDAY

Woo.  Hoo.  Although I suspect my brain cells are hiding somewhere deep in the recesses of my skull from shock, I'm going to attempt to find some inspiration for y'all.  Don't expect too much out of me today, though. 

I'm going to share the most fantabulous places that I've never been - but someday dream/pray/hope to see.

The Great Barrier Reef
Although I'm terrified of snorkeling and all things that involve going into the ocean - thanks, Spielberg - I think I'd be brave enough to risk a shark encounter to see this beautiful Australian wonder. 

The Louvre
Yeah, yeah, it'd be cool to see the rest of Paris too, but frankly I'm more interested in what's inside this place:  an art lover's dream come true.

New York City
Times Square.  BROADWAY.  Madison Square Garden. Central Park.  The Statue of Liberty.  This is one of my more realistic locations, so I know I will go soon.  Very, very soon (got that hubs?  SOON!). 

Ireland
Blame it on my heritage.  I really have no specific reason for wanting to go, but I always have.  Maybe it has something to do with Colin Farrell's sexy self...

Venice, Italy
Of course it's beautiful, but I mostly just want to ride a gondola. 

Hawaii
Who wouldn't want to be on that beach with a cool drink at this very moment?  I'd go right now. 

There are also a few more places in the U.S. that I'd really like to visit:  The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Seattle, Boston, and Washington, D.C.  (I went to D.C. with my family when I was 18 months old, but obviously I don't remember it.) 

Where would you like to go/What do you want to see?

First day of school review and blog lovin'

Had my first day of school today.  (I was so excited/anxious that I woke up at 4:30am and could not go back to sleep.) I know first impressions aren't always accurate or necessarily a good indicator as far as professors go, but my initial opinions were good.  I'm taking six classes - all lecture classes.  Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm wondering what was I thinking?!, but I'm not going to panic.  Just yet. 

Of course, with my new super-busy schedule (school MWF and work T/Th) I will have a huge chunk of my blogging time cut out, which makes Jess a sad girl. 

So imagine my great delight when I got home to catch up on my bloggin pals' new posts for the day and discovered I've been given another blog award - by not one, but TWO of my blogging pals!

was given to me by both the wonderful Meg at O is Me and Amy at Life's Journey with a Smile.  THEN my pal at Jumble Mash gave me some Blog Lovin' today in her post, which is always awesome.  Nothing like some good blog lovin'! 

Thank you so much ladies!  I really enjoy reading your blogs and hope everyone will wander over and take a peek, because they'll love reading them too!

Note:  Since I just did the whole award/7 things about me/give the award away thing last week, I'm going to ask for a bye on this one.  However, in the next month or so I will be making another award and giving it out!

This day has just been a fantabulously awesome day! However, now I have to go read two chapters of my Psychology textbook and two chapters of a novel about Philosophy for Friday's classes. 

Cheers!

Back to School

Yessirree, I am going back to school tomorrow.  I know I've talked about this incessantly the past few weeks, and I apologize.  It'll be over soon, I promise. I've got my stuff all ready to go, my morning schedule all figured out (because I am having to completely change it up since I won't be able to sleep until 8 every morning anymore.  Sigh).  I haven't picked out my wardrobe for tomorrow yet, but I'm thinking casual.  Jeans, cute shirt and flip flops, maybe.  Don't want to overdo it and act like that creepy chick who has pocket protectors and a highlighter in ever color available (I only bought yellow, thank you).

Because I've been in education mode for months days, it's worn off into my subconscious. I'm dreaming about school-related movies, probably because I've wanted to watch nothing but school-related movies.  Last night I watched Dazed & Confused, followed by Porky's.  Starting to think maybe it's a sickness.  Or an addiction of some sort....

It wouldn't be right to keep my current affection for the institution of higher learning all to myself, so today I'm going to share with you my top 15 favorite college-based movies.

Editor's Note:  I originally thought about including high school movies in this list, but it would take forever to rank them, and there'd be way more than 15. 

15. Sorority Boys
This film is probably not on most people's favorites list, but it cracks me up.  I think maybe it's due to a lingering crush on Barry Watson from his 7th Heaven days.... 

It also has Heather Matarazzo, who I love.

 
14.  Sidney White
One of my guilty pleasures.  I think Amanda Bynes is just adorable in general, and she's super-cute in this film as well.  Modern-day Snow White, only at college and with sororities, dorks and an evil blonde girl. 

13. Back to School
I was a kid the first time I saw this, and it was shortly after "Ladybugs" came out, so I thought Rodney Dangerfield was pretty cool (hey, I was too young to appreciate him on his own). 

12. Dead Man On Campus
Zack Morris returns, but as an older, much hotter dark-haired version who parties.  Hard.  Tom Everett Scott is great as the serious student who gets mixed up in roomate suicide scheme. 

11.  Rudy
Poor kid who just wants to go to Notre Dame more than anything in the whole world.  It takes him practically forever to finally get grades good enough to get in, then he's so tiny that the football guys just beat the hell out of him for two years before he gets the chance to play ball for what, 9 seconds?  I just love Sean Astin.  He's like Scrappy Doo.

10.  American Pie 2
I know the majority of this film is over summer break at the beach, but it starts the last day of college...so there.

This is my most favorite installment of the American Pie movies.

9.   The House Bunny
I'm a huge Girls Next Door fan.  I also like Anna Faris.  I knew from the previews that I'd love this movie.  Pretty funny.  Not to mention Colin Hanks plays do-gooder love interest.  He's so adorable.

8.  Road Trip
Can't stand Tom Green.  LOVE Breckin Meyer and Seann William Scott.  Hilarious movie.

7.  Son-in-Law
One of my all-time faves.  I think I'm probaby outnumbered against the people who hate Pauly Shore, but I can't help myself.  This movie is great.

6. Revenge of the Nerds
I didn't see this one until I hit my twenties.  Don't know how I went so long without watching it, because I love it.   I'm a sucker for nerds.

5. Animal House
No explanation needed.

4. Accepted
First time I saw Justin Long in a film, and loved his character.  Jonah Hill is also hilarious.  Not to mention funnyman Lewis Black as a professor is awesomeness.

3.  Legally Blonde
Reese Witherspoon is one of the cutest chicks Hollywood has ever found.  Great movie.  Also, Luke Wilson is in it. Cutie!

2. Van Wilder

Ryan Reynolds - one of my addendum freebies.  YUM.  One of the best National Lampoon movies ever made (next to Christmas Vacation and Animal House, of course).

1. Old School
I think I love this film so much because the idea of partying with Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson is just crazy.  How fantabulous would that be?!  Plus, Will Ferrell doing that ribbon gymnastics routine is hilarious. 


Since I feel like it would be a disgrace to have a school post without mentioning my favorite high school films, I'm obligated to include them.  I'll just give a quick list because otherwise you'd be here all day.  In no particular order, my top 30 favorite high school movies:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Dazed & Confused
Can't Buy Me Love
Breakfast Club
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Grease
Clueless
Porky's
Bring it On
Better Off Dead
Never Been Kissed
Weird Science
Teen Wolf
Hiding Out
Varsity Blues
Say Anything
Hairspray
The Hot Chick
Scream
Just One of the Guys
10 Things I Hate About You
Mean Girls
Cry-baby
Superbad
John Tucker Must Die
Once Bitten
The Faculty
American Pie
Carrie
Juno

Do you have any idea how many high school films there are?  It's ridiculous.  It was REALLY hard to only pick 30!
