“I didn’t really look at it as teen-speak but more like weirdo language! Ellen Page just presents it in such a saucy way too and I’m kind of immature myself and although this sounds kind of cheesy, being on the internet a lot, as I am, I’m actually obsessed with it to the point I’m undergoing hypnosis to cure my internet addiction – I’ll spend 19 hours a day on the internet if you let me. Because of that, you get immersed in the youth vernacular. Every week I learn some new word the kids are saying and I try to integrate it into my vocabulary like some pathetic old person!”

Great quote from Diablo Cody, but 19 hours a day on the Internet??? Wow. Call me old fashioned, but I like to people-watch instead. Sometimes, it's unintentional, like when I commute home from my day job and all these teenagers are causing ruckus on the train. Then you realize: are all teenagers annoying at some point? Just my two cents.
