In English, when we recount a story we often say this phrase 'and I was like...'
'and I was like, 'Really! Are you serious? How did that happen!?'
'and I was like, 'Well... no, I don't think it's a good idea'
etc...
Can you say in Spanish
'Y estoy como...'

Oh, I surely hope not. That is one phrase I will be happy to see go out of style. Even though I use it, too.

I agree with Leslie. This is, like, Valley Girl "birdbrain" talk. It should not be encouraged. - Moe, Apr 12, 2010

We were here once before with the word "like" and its many uses.
Someone in the USA did a thesis on this word alone. Amazing like! 
I tried to Google it but no luck.
