LoL! I should warn you guys: I’m a Knottie! (Please see theknot.com) We’re an evil group of Bridezillas, who have nothing better to do than talk smack about other people’s weddings all day and night!! =) I’ve learned the art of snarkiness from these crazy women!

Christen, forget what Patrick or Annette (because you’ll be hearing from her, no doubt) has to say about appropriate clothing for the blog. I’m in charge here–not Patrick or Annette, despite what they think–and I say come as you are, wearing your ratty old robe if you want to. My standards are only fresh breath. Oh, and wearing a bra if you need one. Otherwise, no dress code at all.

Hmmm, I have actually never read the Count. I’ll have to add that to my list!

Barry… sorry! I’ll cancel my hold (yes, there is a waiting list for your book) and I’ll go out and buy the book!! What was I thinking?!

Patrick, I have no idea what you mean by “wear appropriate clothing” =) And thanks for the welcome! Hahaha

Diana, totally agree with you about Count of Monte Cristo. That man was such a manly man, plus the book is such a perfect revenge novel, plus plus plus–just loved it.

Annette, didn’t realize you were “fluent in the Irish.” Or that that’s how you say that. Once again I have learned much from you.

Um, 20th century. But yes, I haven’t studied ANYTHING in the 30th century.

I’m all for advocating Classics That Don’t Suck. I want a crush on Dickens, too.

Number one on my Classics That Don’t Suck List would be The Count of Monte Cristo. Words cannot describe how much this book ROCKS. I also really loved Lolita. Anyway, there are lots.

Sadly, most of my entries are pre 30th century. That’s where i find that I’m really lacking.

really, not even one person is impressed–what a sad, sad, little life…oh well i quess i’ll just go re-read an old favorite like “ulysses”.(untranslated of course, as i am fluent in the irish.) even with my great hair, what i wouldn’t give to have patrick’s self-confidence.

Oh, and of course, Robin.

Step 1: Be Perfect
Step 2: Remind everyone endlessly.

Those are the basics. After you master them we can move on into advanced hair perfection. What to do when your hair doesn’t cooperate in strong winds, etc.
