Rachelskirts has been an undergirding force behind my acceptance and continuance of blogging. In fact, she more or less forced me into it.
Here’s a list of things she’s forced me to do (In no particular order):
- Friend her on Facebook
- Blog more often
- Comment on ALL of her new entries
- Get on Pownce
- Get Twitter
- Blog more (again)
- Get Grand Central (You can find my number in my About Page.)
- Use Twitter
- Get Griddlers
- Use Flickr (she even bought my a pro account for my birthday to guilt me into it)
- Get involved in NaBloPoMo
- Create a “Rachelskirts made me do it” category
- Apply all relevant posts to that category (I haven’t done that one yet)
- Read Devil in the White City (It was great.)
- Read The Awakening (It was also great.)
I think that’s most of it. I can’t really be sure. I mean, after all that, who can really keep count? So, thank her or hate her for my new online presence because she’s a big part of the reason.
NaBloPoMo post #4.
Update (7:56 PM): 16. Fix the RSS feed image over in the sidebar.

Hahahahahah. Man. I can’t tell if I’m awesome or horrible. I vote “awesome.”

Rachelskirts: I’m required to vote the same way. “Awesome” it is, then.

Hey I think you should thank her:-) and so should everyone else who chats with you!! (even if its me who doesn’t seem to have time to post much! )

Wow, Rachelskirts has you hooked up! There’s a few things on here that are new to me and I’ll check them out. I guess that means I have to vote awesome too!

Charlie: I think you’re right. I’ve gotten a lot more involved in things online and whatnot, and I’ve met some wonderful people. Additionally, thanks for the kindness in thinking that people are somehow bettered by talking to me. That was a sneaky compliment!
Jamie: She has gotten me hooked up indeed. If you’re interested in Grand Central, or any of the other things on there, let me know! I’ll see what information I can give you about them.

wow, that’s pretty hardcore… have i mentioned yet that i actually really enjoy reading your blogs?
[Reply]
Sethly: Nope! You haven’t mentioned that, but I’m glad that you do! Thanks!
[Reply]
Sethly, come comment on MYYyyy blog! Please, pretty please? You still love me, right, dear LUDC Grammar Police Officer #2?
[Reply]
*whispers to Sethly* I’d do what she says. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I refused to do all the things above!!

Isn’t NaBloPoMofo great? I’m lovin’ all the new bloggers I’m being exposed to! :-)
[Reply]
Sarcastic Mom: Seriously! I’m loving it! Additionally, I think I may take up the new moniker, NaBloPoMofo. That’s just plain funny right there.

Sethly’s right, y’know. Your blog is pretty high on my list of things that are awesome, even if I don’t ever comment.. until now.
Oh, and Rachelskirts has a good taste in books. Kudos to her.

Kristen Hey, lookie there. Welcome to the commenting world! And you’re right. She does have good taste in books. :)

And because of all the things she’s made you do, she and I now know each other via the world wide web! So thank you.
