About

My family calls me Rachel, but most call me Cookie, Princess, Skirts (short for Rachelskirts), or Wenchie (short for Pirate Wench). I'm a native to the Chicagoland area, though I'm in Texas for college these days. So far, I've learned that Texas has horrible pizza, horrible milk (it's like white water), and insane bugs. The ants bite, the cockroaches belong on a leash, and I'm pretty sure I saw a cat flying around my room disguised as a bee.

I probably won't update this much, only because I have too many sites clamoring for my attention as it is. If you're looking for random updates on my life, check out Rachelskirts.com. Direct any questions, comments, or concerns toward the trash can. I don't have time for your shenanigans. (Unless, of course, you take the time to draw me a picture with crayons. Then, you will have my undivided attention.)

Invitez-Moi Jun 2

I'm at a place in my life where I feel incredibly insecure all the time. I grew up being "the smart girl" who excelled at school, but here I sit with several years between myself and a college degree and with a growing number of universities who don't even want to look at...

Green-Eyed Monsterskirts Jun 1

This is how it should be. I am in the front seat, blinding people into submission. My brother is in the back seat, quietly reading manga. REMEMBER THAT, "SuperSanko," while you sit at your computer and woo the internet with 140-character quippy statements on Twitter. ...

Things to Love About the Ocean's Eleven Soundtrack:

George Clooney's voice on several tracks.
The instant Badass Boost(TM) included with each song. You could be doing laundry the boring way, or you could crank up the stereo and do some badass laundry.
Brad Pitt's voice o...
