just found your site…. i’m a Georgia girl living in Mass now, and i KNOW the quarter life crisis!
i’ll stop by again.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Have a nice day !
March 5th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I don’t know about the quarter life crisis but I can sure tell you about the 3/4 life crisis. Just found your blog-will stop by often.
March 10th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Buddy – glad you are here. You can be a guest blogger from the 3/4 life perspective.
March 12th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Wow- your new site is great!! So refined.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Thanks Kenny. We like it too – the book image is temporary. We’re not sure what to do there though.
March 13th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
loving the book image woolfolk. can’t wait to read about the rest of your “favorite things.” totally agreeing so far, especially on smartwater. also, when I woke up sunday morning with dirt on my face and hay in my hair, it hit me: you must blog on Hatchechubbee. Former New Yorker’s perspective on the small town, country way of life? juicy.
March 13th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
p.s. congrats…. 4,395 hits!
March 14th, 2008 at 3:11 am
ha! good suggestion, but….we might ruin friendships if we blog on that. kapiesh?
March 19th, 2008 at 1:06 am
laney…random that i wandered into your blog world. the boohers got me hooked. i especially love and relate to the quarter-life crisis headband wearer. so fun to read and distract myself from whatever else i should be doing. take care!
March 19th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Heather – thanks so much for reading! Welcome to our friendly but jaded world. xo
March 20th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Laney, I have enjoyed reading your blog today. I don’t know how I found it, but it is magnificent! Hope all is well for you!
March 20th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Kirbey – thanks so much. Hope you are well too. Please keep reading!
March 20th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
elizabethlaney, I truly love reading your blog. Please keep up the great entries. One question, though. Is your blog’s server based in the Pakistan? I ask because all comments are shown to be made 9 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. For example, I’m making this entry at 10:40 a.m. EST. Just wondering… And thanks again for the great blog!

I am interested in traditional link advertising as well as using link “blurbs” on certain pages of your site, or on certain articles. Perhaps even submitting articles. This includes but is not limited to purchasing a post also. We are open to any idea that would allow us to capture interested readers, but would prefer to avoid the traditional “Ads by Google” and “Sponsored Links” sections.
Please let me know if you’d be open to discussing advertising possibilities further.
Thanks in advance,

10,000 HITS ON YOU BLOG!!!! Congrats, elaney!
April 5th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
thanks c-handler!! we’d probably still be in the triple digits without you and g-love
April 9th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Laney,
I wandered to your blog after someone raved about it. Love it and glad to know others are going through the quarter-life crisis. Keep livin’ the dream! (and running with the dream!)
April 9th, 2008 at 4:33 am
Dom! So glad you like it. Congrats on ATL – that’s awesome. Was that #2 for you?
April 9th, 2008 at 9:21 am
‘Twas #2! Is it too masochistic of me to already be looking forward to #3 and all that is accompanied by it???
Congrats to you as well! I didn’t know you were running the 1/2 until after you ran it…we could have run together for a bit.
April 9th, 2008 at 9:26 am
It would be masochistic if you felt that way on mile 25, but anything post 26.2 is fair game. Do you have one lined up?
April 10th, 2008 at 2:47 am
just read this intro for the first time. must say i love it. so you. so hemingway. so glad to be here at elizabethlaney!
April 10th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Trust me, at mile 25 I was singing a much different tune
. Not sure which one to do next…Disney? Country Music? I want to look at some in the fall…Any thoughts?

Chicago! Huntsville is flat too.

What happened to the books?
April 20th, 2008 at 10:06 am
The books were never meant to be permanent. I take it you liked them better?
April 21st, 2008 at 5:51 pm
I did like the books but the new collage is growing on me.
April 21st, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Is it too dark?
April 21st, 2008 at 9:00 pm
just a little bit. Is that one of Erin’s photos?
April 21st, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I see the books are back. I like the books. They put me in an introspective mood.
April 21st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
We hate the books, but we like the color scheme. We will figure out this whole image problem at some point.
April 21st, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Yes – that is one of Erin’s photos
April 24th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
i love the header! don’t change again!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
One thing I’ve noticed in the past day or so is that now when you scroll to the bottom of the home page, there is no longer the option to hit a “next page” link to take you to the previous set of posts. Is it just me, or am I just not seeing this link now? Was I hallucinating, and this was never an option before?
April 30th, 2008 at 2:25 am
C-handler, wordpress is having a problem with that. Whenever you can’t click to the next page, just use the monthly archive function.

Hi,
I think you’re so adorable and I applaud you for your work. I wanted to let you know that the term “Aging Backwards” is my trademark, so if you use it, please give credit and/or link to me and my Web site.

I’d be happy to be a guest blogger to tell your readers what’s in store at “half-life!” It’s not all that bad…LOL
Thanks and have a super day!
Best,
Jackie

Laney, very impressive. A great insight into your ecclectic interests. Mack and I are honored to be privy to your external monologue. Keep up the good work! KhapunKha – Rosa and Mack

Thanks Rosa and Mack! Hope you are well.

elaney- pick a race and lets run soon!

Hi Elizabeth,
I don’t know where to turn and I need your help for some grassroots advocacy. I run a small self-esteem blog and so I’m prone to noticing things in the media that help cause the self esteem issues of women and girls. And I’ve got a serious social issue with the way Perez Hilton bashes Rumer Willis on her looks. It has gone beyond entertainment. I was hoping you could draw attention to our campaign to stop this cruelty by sharing it with your readers.
I want to start a grassroots campaign to get Perez Hilton to stop his assault on Rumer. I believe the self-esteem of our women and girls is in jeopardy. Go here to just make a quick comment of support, and maybe we can bring awareness to this issue of beauty and value.

And I’m sorry if this is wrong forum in which to ask for support but I feel really strongly about this and ya’ll are my peeps to help bring about change.

For people who enjoy reading fragments.

kdrix, we assume you are complimenting us on our ability to write concisely – not criticizing our grammar. so thanks!

Who is this ‘we’ you refer to?
September 10th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I like the new header!
December 24th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Great to see you on Sunday, elaney! Merry Christmas!
January 29th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Yo! I can’t believe I haven’t said anything yet… Congrats, elaney, on surpassing 100,000 hits on your blog! Keep up the good work.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Wow, why have I not found you until now? I just love your site (insert chorus singing “Hallelujah”). Keep up the great posts!
January 30th, 2009 at 9:11 am
liz – welcome to elaney!! we are glad you are here.
February 8th, 2009 at 5:38 am
Hey elaney! I must admit that I am new to the world of blogging and this is my first blog post EVER! I feel so strangely metro and more aware of the world around me. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dear Elizabeth:
I am a reporter and graduate student at the Columbia Journalism School, and I’m working on an article about Google Talk, a.k.a. G-chat.
Specifically, it’s about the fact that when two Gmail users email each other, they automatically show up in each other’s G-chat sidebars — which can result in virtual strangers, or people like our bosses, clients, or grandmothers’ best friends, appearing on our lists. It can also create accidental stalkers out of us, granting us with what feels like intimate information about when someone is at their desk, what they’re having for lunch, etc. The article is meant to be a lighthearted look at this slice of online life and the etiquette it requires.
I’m writing it for a news wire called the Columbia News Service, which distributes content to more than 400 newspapers across the U.S. and Canada.
I read your post on G-chat invisibility, and I was wondering if it might be possible to set up a time to speak with you for this story, to get your perspective on the situation described above. Would you be available to talk for a few minutes in the next few days?
I can be reached at daf2132@columbia.edu.
Thanks very much.
Best regards,
Danielle Friedman

Hey,
Haven’t been to the site in a while and needed a “favorites” fix while wishing I were still able to have a quarter-life crisis! Hope all is well with you.
March 11th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
hey amy!!! hope you are well too!
