After a six month hiatus, a friend has convinced me to reinstate my blogs with a few drunken words of encouragement. I don't know whether I should be flattered or offended by her laughter about my life chronicles. But I figure, if you can't laugh at yourself... I don't know how to finish this sentence but anyway... Not much has changed over these last six months; I'm still single, though I have had several new inadequate suitors. I've also dealt with more interesting NYC living situations. To summarize: SuperTard knocked up his desperate (and much older) girlfriend within two months of meeting her. After less than one year after meeting, they are married with a child. SuperTard is now a legal US resident and the country is stuck with his crazy ass for the long haul. Needless to say, SuperTard is no longer my roommate. And for the first time, I can happily announce that I have a great roommate who is a fellow graduate student at NYU. We are both dance education students and she is super sweet. But I'm sure you don't want to hear about my normalcies so I will continue with a synopsis of my dating life: (pause) Sigh! ... Well that about sums it up! On a positive note, I received full marks (4.0) after my first semester of grad school! Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be enough to merit a scholarship at NYU... cheap bastards! I'm pretty sore about it so may cut back to part-time and work full-time to avoid ridiculous student debt. Sooooo frustrating!!!!!

Last year, I began an experiment to explore the world of online dating via a free website called Plenty of Fish. My plan was to go on 10 dates--with 10 different men--to determine whether the douche bags I meet organically are more or less douchy than those online. After ten dates, I've come to the conclusion that douchebags are omnipresent. However, the douchbags I meet organically are much more attractive than the douchebags I've met through POF. As a matter of fact, I recently rejected the... Continue reading...

This past weekend in the Hamptons was... interesting, to say the least. Some friends and I decided to rent a 'house share' for 4th of July weekend. A house share involves multiple groups and individuals that rent a big house to share. (Think adult co-ed frat house.) Shares are quite common in the Hamptons and I was thrilled to find one at the last minute. I met the woman who arranged the rental. She is about my age, has a grown-up job at S&P, and seemed to be mature and fun. In addition to me... Continue reading...

I recently came back from an amazing trip to Chicago! I met my adorable little nephew, met up with friends from high school, and even had a sleepover with my elementary school best friend! I forgot how hot Chicago guys are too! I may need to move back there at some point... just sayin'. Continue reading...

I finally did it! I completed The POF Experiment! I went on ten dates with ten different losers that I met on a lame dating website, "Plenty of Fish". It only took me a year... I met CT at The Empire State Building on a rainy Saturday afternoon. He had tickets for the Skyride at the Empire State Building, which was pretty fun. We were guided into a roller coaster-like ride that simulated an exciting guided tour of New York City. Since bad weather and zero visibility prevented us from enjoying ... Continue reading...

I just drank a bottle of wine and have been staring at the computer screen for ten minutes. (Deep breath.) ...I can't believe how many morons habitat this planet. It seems that most of them reside in New York City. They also seem to LOVE me, and gravitate my way--no matter how much I try to avoid them. First it was Crazy, then Douchbag McDouche, and now... I don't even know what to call him. I suppose SuperTard will suffice. I met SuperTard when I lived with Crazy. He leased an office space i... Continue reading...

A mere mortal, I am powerless to the influence of Oprah. After She challenged her audience to follow a vegan diet for one week, I accepted! 'What the heck, I'll give it a go,' I thought. Well, it worked! I felt healthier and more energetic at the end of the experiment. Although I have incorporated some non-vegan foods (like Greek yogurt and fish) into my diet, I would say that I am still about 80% vegan.
To complement my new, healthy lifestyle, I joined a hot yoga studio, where all of Aspen's... Continue reading...

It's mud season here in Aspen, which means the ski slopes are closed, town is dead, and melting snow is creating a muddy mess on the hiking trails! Practically a ghost town, Aspen is free of tourists and most retail stores and restaurants are closed for the next two months. While most residents leave town during this time, I am stuck here and will be as busy as ever. With a dance show approaching, I'm busy at the studio. It's actually a great time for me to focus on improving my dancing skill... Continue reading...

My best girlfriend in Aspen recently returned from a two-month hiatus to film Season 7 of The Food Network Star. Though I was super stoked for her, I was pretty bored when she was gone. She's an amazing chef with the energy of The Tasmanian Devil, and I'm sure she's going to win and get her own cooking show on The Food Network! It's always cool to see people you know on TV! It seems everyone has been on some sort of reality show... everyone, that is, but me! The first time I saw someone that I... Continue reading...

Back in December, I decided to visit Aspen for the holidays. Four months later, I'm still here. Though I make occasional trips to NYC, the doormen at my building rarely remember me. Though I miss The City, I can't complain about my time in Aspen. I'm working, yet have plenty of time to ski, snowboard, dance, practice yoga and spend time with friends. I've met tons of great people-- both locals and tourists. I've been hottubbing with super buff rugby players, did tequila shots with 'Mexico's m... Continue reading...

About Me
| Rachel Scott |
| New York, New York |
Originally from Chicago, I migrated to Boulder,CO in 1997. I've been in Colorado ever since- leaving only when contracted for work by Club Med Resorts. I had contracts in Mexico, Saint Lucia, Turks and Caicos, and Florida. But after a long-time of being over-worked and under-appreciated as a choreographer, I quit and moved to Miami.
After nearly a year of living in America's butthole, I went on an emergency vacation to Aspen, CO for X-games in 2006, and never left... until now. Goodbye quaint little mountain town; Hello concrete jungle!
