Hah! This is some of your best work yet.
#7 is awesome. #8 is scary. Kirsten Dunst has fangs and will kill all three of those animals.

I think that I love all of these.
And also that you’re awesome.
November 16th, 2007 at 12:40 am
Truly creative. Why don’t I think of things like this?
November 16th, 2007 at 2:17 am
Oh honey. Fabulous writing, and yet I hope things turn up soon.
November 16th, 2007 at 3:32 am
Hilarious and a little scary.

# 3 is my favorite. i have an exam in less than twelve hours and i cant sleep. god help me!
November 16th, 2007 at 6:47 am
Watching the office is way more important than an exam…I probably shouldn’t tell my students that, though.
November 16th, 2007 at 6:49 am
8. C is the one I’d be most likely to run away from in a dark alley…
You win at blogging :D
November 16th, 2007 at 9:18 am
This is awesome.
Glad to see you’re keeping up on it. I totally lost on Day 9! Embarrassing. I hope you’re able to finish.

#6 was my favorite. I want to know how you are managing to post everyday and not only make sense but be brilliant and entertaining. You must share your great blogging secrets with this lowly grasshopper. :)
November 16th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
Thanks for all the kind words. :)
I think I just have a lot of time on my hands…
November 16th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
On #2, I would use C to bludgeon your neighbor to death. Far slower and more painful that a mere spearing.
Oh, and this post just even far more awesome in my eyes.

You know on #2, when you want to hurt the guitar playing neighbor? When I become a guitar prodigy, I will never play that loud. I plan on being a very considerate guitar prodigy. Until that time, I would go with B.

this made me laugh - thanks!
November 16th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
This made me LoL. #2 relates to how I feel right now… I think my neighbor plays bass tho… It carries so well through our paper thin walls. Also, I survived on Ramen Noodles, $1 microwave pizzas and Multi Vitamins when groceries became scarce. I have some cheap recipes if you want them. :P
November 16th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
I LOVE THIS! hahaha So glad to have found your site :)
November 16th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
(q) all of the above.
November 16th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
You are great:) Hope tomorrow will be a better day.
November 16th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Regarding your date - was it a left hook or a good solid right? And how many teeth went down his throat?
Yes, this was awesome!
November 16th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
you know what works with shitty neighbors?
Throwing trash outside their door anonymously. Just a little bit of trash is enough to make even the most self-absorbed person nervous.
November 16th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
lol! brilliant post. 7. Is just plain hilarious to me. I’d be running scared specially if it looks anything like 8C :d
November 17th, 2007 at 12:13 am
oh dear, hahahahha.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:05 am
This was very clever and very funny. Many years ago I once watched the first episode of The Office and thought it was a documentary - ooops! It did seem as if everyone were a bit weird but well, UK offices are like that.
Good luck with your college work.

Hahaha, have you seen this yet? It reminds me of this post … http://www.jamphat.com/rap/
November 19th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
Yes, Ashley! I del.icio.us’ed that last week! Thought it was hilarious!

Rachel, this has to be one of my favorite blog posts that I’ve read. Thank you for using your powers of wit for good rather than evil! ;)
