Hello, all

Welcome.

Have you ever struggled to make a decision? Felt like you’re spinning your proverbial wheels in the mud of life? Wandered listlessly through the house on a Saturday? Not had the job/apartment/boyfriend/girlfriend/life you want… because you’re not even sure what it is you actually do want? Asked too many slightly awkward rhetorical questions?

Well, this is where we are- and by we, I mean two buddies who met in college and who have been trying to pull it together since. This is our blog- wavering raised to the level of an art. And this is us:

Mandy is a young, lithe writer who likes They Might Be Giants more than can easily be explained. Her favorite writers include and are limited to Stephanie Meyer, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Stephen Hawking and the poetry of Walt Whitman. Mandy is easily recognizable at a distance by the puce polka-dotted scarf that she wears knotted around her left arm at all times. Mandy’s favorite meal is what she refers to as the “triple burrito special”, which can be purchased for less than five dollars at Taco Bell (other taco retailers are available). Given the task of describing Mandy in one word, her friends often say “IHOP.”

Rebekah, on the other hand, is the world’s most prolific watcher of reality TV. When she’s not watching classics such as The Bachelor Pad, she enjoys I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, and Jersey Shore.  The mere sight of a puppy has been known to reduce Rebekah to tears, but upon witnessing any sort of rodent, she will burst out in a high-pitched squealing noise that will render the animal unconscious.  On weekends, Rebekah can be seen in thrift stores, searching for that perfect addition to her large collector’s plate wall.  She is seen there so often, that it has become known as her “natural habitat.” 

Well, that’s what we would like to be known as.  Sadly, we’re no where near as exciting and cool as those descriptions make us out to be.  Then again, this is the rest of our lives, right?  (Awkward rhetorical question number five.)  We could aspire to be all these things and much, much more.

… If only we could make up our minds.
