That is so Valley.  Exactly what I do, when I remember not to say "like" as
much.  This makes me want to watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (the movie) or
"Clueless" (the movie or the TV show) again.

  I actually use the word "all", or strictly speaking, the verb "to be all":

  I tried to look at his drum set, just because I admired it, but he was
all, "Don't touch my third-hand expensive 1973 Zildjian drum set". Then I
was all, "Just touching it won't hurt it. What makes it different from any
other drum set?" He's all, "This one is vintage, man! It was made in 1973!"
So I'm all, "But you play it every time the band plays a song! And it hasn't
been damaged!" Then he's all, "Yeah, but I don't really like having to wear
it."

  And *I* happen to be from California, as a matter of fact.
