Remember back in the day when I shared my theory that everyone is either Friends person or a Seinfeld person?

(but clearly Friends was the correct answer because something like 67 people agreed with me out of 95 comments)

Well after a day of watching Friends clips on youtube, I decided I could no longer live if I couldn’t watch it whenever I wanted. So I ordered the complete series box set, and after a THREE WEEK shipping ordeal that was supposed to be THREE DAY shipping because I am very impatient and need things right this second, it finally got here. And I didn’t have to punch anyone in the throat even though I really wanted to because the package bounced from Iowa to Kansas City FOR OVER A WEEK.

So yeah, it’s here and I’m probably going to disappear forever so I can watch the whole thing. And when I return I’ll probably end up speaking in Friends quotes and talking like Chandler. And you’re probably going to think that I couldn’t BE anymore annoying. And you’re probably never going to talk to me again, especially if you like Seinfeld and for some reason just don’t appreciate the amazingness that is this series.

The PIVOT! scene is one of my favorites but I just about died watching it in this blooper video.

Anyway, now you should share you favorite Friends episode/scene/quotes with me so I can be on the look out for them because I’ll probably be watching it every single waking moment I am at home!

Three years ago, I started this blog.

After years on Livejournal and a couple scrapped WordPress blogs, I decided on Oh! How Lovely! And well, it’s stuck ever since then. It’s been revamped a bit along the way, but this is it.

It’s kind of hard to believe that something started on a whim has changed my life so much.

This blog helped get me through some of the hardest times of my life so far. Through The Break Up. Through my parents’ messy divorce. Through more Tyra gifs that any sane person could handle. Through ups and downs. This blog has helped me find my voice.

This blog has taken me to Los Angeles to drive Ford Mustangs through canyons, on epic road trips to Denver and to Las Vegas for launch parties. It’s taken me to San Francisco and New York for conferences. It’s led to fantastic sponsorships and to a freelance writing career I’m proud of.

This blog is the reason I have met some of my favorite people in the world. It’s the reason I have friends all over the country (even beyond!) and I can say I’ve had the pleasure to spend time with many of them. And those I haven’t had a chance to spend time with yet? Well, I hope that changes. I’m ESPECIALLY looking at you, Tia and Ben.

For all of that, I really couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you all for taking the time to read this silly blog, whether you’re a long time reader or just passing through. I appreciate the support more than you’ll ever know.

Here’s to three years and hopefully many more.
