Re: conversation between me and the boy

Rachel — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 23:00:06 -0000

I still laugh with an ex-boyfriend over a conversation we once had while dating.

"Would you still love me if I were ugly?"
"How ugly?"

Re: womanizer video

Rachel — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 15:57:09 -0000

She does look great.

Re: hair therapy

Rachel — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:37:39 -0000

Very pretty! You're lucky to belong to the >1% of the female population who loves their hair.

Free bang trims? That's a dream I could only...dream...of.

Re: important ramblings

Rachel — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:07:02 -0000

I find that picture of Miley to be extremely unflattering.

Anyway.

Blogger BFF's are the best!

Re: hi weekend!

Rachel — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 20:33:29 -0000

I was addicted to Facebook for a little while, but haven't touched it in a couple months.

And your design? Oh! How lovely! :)

Re: What the hell is going on?

Rachel — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:24:41 -0000

Yes, poor Matilda.

That's what I keep thinking.

Re: I have officially lost my mind

Rachel — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:44:43 -0000

Best of luck with that! It would absolutely make me crazy.

Be strong! And happy 2008! :)

Re: Do you know what today is?

Rachel — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 01:20:01 -0000

lol @ the dog comment!

I remember seeing that movie preview last time I was at the movies with my boyfriend to see Saw IV. As soon as it was over, I leaned towards him and said, "10 bucks that the dog dies."

Re: Lists

Rachel — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:58:01 -0000

God I hate Christmas shopping.

I am looking forward to I Am Legend, though.

Re: Confession time

Rachel — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 18:32:57 -0000

Knock offs?

I think you won.

Re: Pampering myself

Rachel — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 03:03:46 -0000

That sounds wonderful. I would so be there.

Doesn't it? I really want to go!

Re: A real entry this time?

Rachel — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 19:08:43 -0000

I keep hearing good things about Enchanted.

2 more days!!

Re: The days of black

Rachel — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 00:44:29 -0000

I will never work in retail again.

I didn't even realize they were linking "Black" with other days now. I could do without that.

Re: Hip does not mean ugly

Rachel — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 00:08:50 -0000

Oooh! Are you coming out of the blogging closet?!

I'm glad you posted the picture of the Nikon. I may have thrown up otherwise.

Re: Oh Sunday

Rachel — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 23:28:20 -0000

Aw, poor puppy! He's so adorable!

Re: Project Runway: 401

Rachel — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 00:12:57 -0000

Wow.

If I end up being hooked on this show without even watching it, it'll be because of you.

Re: Do you know what today is?!

Rachel — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:34:45 -0000

This was my favorite night of television! But only because...

Kid Nation
Kitchen Nightmares
South Park

All new.

Re: I’m feeling rather bookish today

Rachel — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:22:27 -0000

Hmm... I second David Sedaris. Not the best lit, but addictively funny. My favorite is Naked.

Have you read any of the recent Phillipa Gregory's? I have a thing for historical fiction. The Constant Princess and The Other Boleyn Girl are my favorites.

More classical - The Good Earth was fantastic. Just finished it.

Re: Kanye West’s mom dies

Rachel — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 23:31:08 -0000

Wow, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more publicity, aside from MTV.

Cosmetic surgery complications? Wow.

Re: Sunday

Rachel — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 15:50:17 -0000

Ahaha. Decipheration.

Did you see that episode where Tyra completely lost it on that girl? For hardly any reason?

Over-dramatic.

Re: Fridaaaaay!

Rachel — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 21:12:21 -0000

That's a great question!

I don't think there's one song I'd be able to pinpoint, but it would probably be something by 3 Doors Down. Or Wonderful World by James Morrison.

Re: Douchebag sextape to be released?

Rachel — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 19:59:07 -0000

I think this is the reason I've never watched an episode of The Hills.

Re: Lighten up, it’s just faaaashion

Rachel — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:31:09 -0000

I really wish I had gotten more into that show.

Re: Day 5

Rachel — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:29:37 -0000

Congrats on the new domain! This theme is lovely!

And the time change has me really messed up as well, mostly because it's dark at, oh, 4pm.

Re: Things Not to Do at The Club

Rachel — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 20:49:12 -0000

A double polo?! I've never seen that one, thank God.

Re: So official

Rachel — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 14:53:18 -0000

Sounds to me like you're just exhausted!

Congrats on your web space! Big step! :)

Re: Best Halloween Costume EVER

Rachel — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:17:23 -0000

Awesome!

Good luck with NaBloPoMo!:)

Re: Vote For ThatNight In The 2008 Bloggies

Rachel — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:49:23 -0000

Hey, you're the greatest.

A crushing low blow? I was thinking more like a crippling foot-stomp. And then a push.

Thank you, I'm flattered. :)

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - How to know when your professor is a reincarnation of Dr. Seuss

Rachel — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:58:58 -0000

lmao! That's classic. And a perfect example of professors that aren't taken seriously.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - To the Haters

Rachel — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 21:02:41 -0000

lol!

I've always really liked the idea of tumblr. I need to look further into it...

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - Open letter to my throat and nose

Rachel — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 23:22:51 -0000

lol!

Body parts (orifices?) get crazy this time of year.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:51:03 -0000

I agree. Fabulous.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 20:24:38 -0000

Wow, that's a great find. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea it was going down like that.

It's insane that they stream the full episodes online but don't pay the writers because they're "promotions." Crazy.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - August 15, 1990

Rachel — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 21:42:55 -0000

Wow, what a story!

I hope he's ok, though. :-X

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:23:13 -0000

Haha. The Godfather Theme really adds to it.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - 7 Things About Me Meme

Rachel — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 23:20:10 -0000

#6 just made you my hero.

And I would also totally rather have a shopping spree for books over clothes. Unless I'm naked.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - Use your powers for good.

Rachel — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 00:05:08 -0000

Hahaha!

I do admit to having an iPod "sock," but the idea is indeed redundant. How about a purse cozy? A mitten cozy? A body cozy?

Re: The Infected Paper Cut - I am only minorly grossed out by this post.

Rachel — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 23:25:39 -0000

That second paragraph had me cracking up.

You know, I wasn't even fully aware of Lyme's Disease until I spent a summer in Maryland.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 01:06:25 -0000

It's oddly sensual.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:51:12 -0000

I don't think I've met one true *crazy* at any of the blog things here.

Craigslist, though? Totally unrelated in my case. Craigslist really freaks me out.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 19:49:36 -0000

I concur. LOL.

Re: The Infected Paper Cut

Rachel — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 01:53:36 -0000

I <3 Threadless.

That's where this came from, right? I think so...

I was worried for the bird there for a second, but really, poor pug.

Ha.

Oh my God, could you believe that? I would be completely freaked out.

Re: Counting down the days.

Rachel — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:15:34 -0000

The last couple months of winter always put me in over-sleepy, over-worked, high-anxiety mode.

Here's looking forward to Spring.

Heaven.

Re: Google Reader Updates

Rachel — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 05:50:04 -0000

I just started using Google reader yesterday. I was using NewsFire, but as far as I know, it wasn't as friendly with iPhone.

Re: 24 Hour Creative Marathon - Completion

Rachel — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:02:14 -0000

I was so happy to finally meet you!

I missed a lot of the artwork, but I really loved your North Star piece. I think it fit the theme perfectly, especially with so many others being abstract and deviating. I'm not surprised it sold. :)

Re: Work And Other Stories

Rachel — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 01:03:48 -0000

So glad to hear the new job is going well! :)

Good luck with NaBloPoMo! I'm happy there's such a large group of people taking part. It'll make it at least a little easier to find the motivation.

Re: Happily N’Ever After

Rachel — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:18:33 -0000

Ever After is probably my favorite Cinderella movie, and I thought you were talking about that at first, and I was like, "Hmm, it must've been a *really* long time since I've seen it." :)

I'll have to check that out though. Sounds fun.

Re: And Now Is The Time When I Complain About…

Rachel — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:58:20 -0000

Haha! I didn't know about not having DST in Indiana! Hmm. It is a hassle, you are so right. BUT! That extra hour did worlds for me last night. I'm not sure why, but I really needed it.

Re: First Snowflakes

Rachel — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 14:22:33 -0000

I can do without the snowflakes until winter. :)

Re: Finishing Lists

Rachel — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:46:03 -0000

I can't say much about Bond, but...

Have you started Harry Potter? If so, do you enjoy them? Number 4 is my favorite.

Re: Geek Relationships

Rachel — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 20:56:49 -0000

I love xkcd. :)

Sorry I missed you last night! Hope you had a good time...

Re: Stranger Than Fiction

Rachel — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:18:28 -0000

I liked this movie, but really only after I watched it a second time.

I really enjoyed the feel of it. It was so clean and shiny. And soft, somewhat.

Re: Android OS, etc.

Rachel — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:49:52 -0000

No iPhones in your future? :)

Re: Apartment Hunting

Rachel — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:21:45 -0000

You know, during my hunt, I was hard-pressed to find a single nice website that listed local apartments without being solely concerned with advertising. I shouldn't have to sign up with a site to view listings.

If you want to explore outside of Craigslist, the PPG has some decent classifieds: http://classified.post-gazette.com/realestate/r...

Re: The Other Boleyn Girl

Rachel — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:05:36 -0000

You just made my night. I had no idea that a trailer was leaked, or even that the film was coming out anytime soon.

I read the book as soon as it was released, and it sort of rejuvenated my interest in Tudor history, even though I've always been somewhat obsessed. This book in particular is quite fictionalized, based on Phillipa's opinion of the emotional reactions of the characters she portrays. Of course, there are a lot of things that people still aren't completely sure about based on that time period. I do love this series.

My next favorite, after this one, is The Constant Princess.

Anne Boleyn was alway my favorite wife, which I guess was obvious with my Halloween costume this year.

Re: FreeRice.com

Rachel — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:42:41 -0000

This is a cool concept.

I wonder how much rice 1000 grains really is. Enough to feed a few people?

Re: 3D Pinball

Rachel — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:15:23 -0000

Ok, so, this is exactly how I wasted my first year of college.

I remember looking up those codes, especially onces having to do with the lights at the very top and the deploy tricks. Sometimes I could get a good flow going with the left flipper, although it seemed to come and go, much to my frustration.

Re: Now What? Music

Rachel — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:53:28 -0000

That's A LOT of Christmas Music! I think I have maybe 4 songs.

Have you ever played around with Garage Band?

I've always called those hip lines "dingos." I'm not sure where I heard it, but I know at least a handful of people who use it.

Great compilation!

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Re: Presentation Slide Deck

Rachel — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 06:10:03 -0000

Most stylish PowerPoint I've ever seen, and that's after three years of college.

Of course, the dialog presented along with it added a great deal.

This year was my first PodCamp (Pittsburgh! Holler!) but I have some great memories, including sitting in the common room and watching what's popular on YouTube and these:

Re: ‘Tis the season to be married?

Rachel — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:36:01 -0000

Oh man! I have the opposite problem. I'm so ready to be engaged, and all of my family members are always saying, "you're not engaged yet, are you? You're too young. I'll be really disappointed."

I feel like if I do end up becoming engaged within the next year, I'll have to hide it for a while.

Re: To the dog owners in my neighborhood

Rachel — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:02:22 -0000

I seriously do not understand these people, especially when I'm out walking my tiny dog, on a leash, and suddenly there's a massive beast staring us down the sidewalk. It's like, what? You just open the door and let the dog out, and that's it? You don't watch it?

Infuriating.

Re: A roundhouse kick to the face

Rachel — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:18:35 -0000

It's good that you're surrounding yourself with supportive people! Things always find a way of working themselves out. You'll do the right thing no matter what.

Re: awkward family night.

Rachel — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:21:34 -0000

That. Is. Awesome. Are you sure they weren't 20-year-olds in costume?

I'm almost jealous of your family situation. Growing up, my mom thought it was totally OK to walk from one room to another topless, and I would be the one screaming.
