Back in black
Today I found my missing pictures from my Balkans trip, which makes me incredibly happy. So I was browsing through them, and was surprised to find that almost all my Europe-related bitterness has evaporated. Time (almost a year) has healed that wound. When looking at pictures I no longer rail a litany of invectives in my head, but instead think "Aw ( Read more... ) -
Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm addicted to my boyfriend.
Just a quick entry to let y'all know that I am in fact still alive. I've been spending pretty much all my free time with Adam and am basically living with him. It's not official and most of my stuff is still home, but I spend almost every night at his place because it makes me sad to be apart from him. I know. I know dammit, leave me be! There are ( Read more... ) -
It's for science dammit.

Fitness decision
I have to make a couple decisions about what I'm going to do, fitness-wise, for the rest of the summer. I'd like to sign up for another belly-dancing class and pole-dancing class. I'd also like to get my own pole. Altogether that'd end up being about $400. Much as I want to, it's hard to justify spending that when there's so much free/cheap stuff ( Read more... ) -
Play
Through an incredibly convoluted series of shift changes, Adam and I suddenly have Friday off together. This almost never happens. So naturally I've decided we need to take a mini road trip. We'd like to play outside, but the gods continue to spit on upstate NY (which I really never cared about until starting parkour), which makes life difficult. ( Read more... ) -
Full circle
My favorite band for a long time, my first concert, and my gateway band, was Moxy Fruvous way back in 9th grade. Since then they've broken up and I've found tons more music and gone to loads of concerts, eventually expanding into some international music and dancing. I was wandering YouTube looking for some bhangra music today when I stumbled onto ( Read more... ) -
The hammer of justice is unisex!
Brave and the Bold E16 (S2 E3): Night of the Huntress is, without a doubt, the most brain-breakingly wonderful episode of any animated show ever. It might even be as good as Superman driving a Cadillac across a desert and then becoming the leader of a wolf pack.
It's that fucking awesome.
My one issue with it was Huntress flirting with Bats so ( Read more... ) -

Parkour is French for "ow"
Yesterday I went to my first parkour...I'm not sure what to call it. It's not a formal paid class or even a club, it's just a guy who's really good at parkour who gets a bunch of people together to teach and practice. So I went to that. It was awesome! The teacher is great, he's really good at giving you the advice you're ready for and encouraging ( Read more... ) -
Vertex
My totally kickass fangirl friend Lefty will be visiting me this week from the far away lands of the Midwest. You all want to meet her. We're gonna hit Vertex on Thursday, so get your butts out there!
Kendall, this would be the perfect time to show up with that candy. Unless you've already given up and eaten it. ;)
