Hey! A Brand New Blog! or, In Which Rachel and I Affirm Each Other's Craziness and Start Blog Titles With Pretentious Shit Like "or, In Which..."

Welcome to Spite Cake! This is a blog that is really a conversation. A conversation between two friends, Mary and Rachel, who are great friends, and NOT just because everyone else thinks they're nuts. That's not true. No one thinks that. Except sometimes they do, and then Mary and Rachel need to rant about it. Because people are stupid and no one gets it but us.

We get it. Because we're awesome.

This is Mary and Rachel on the last day they lived in the same city (sad). It's fuzzy and you can't really make us out. Just assume that we're much, much cuter than we look from this picture. And thinner. We're like models in real life.

You probably aren't going to see a lot of other pictures of us, so just imagine us any way you like. But thinner.

--Mary

p.s. Maybe Rachel will do her own Welcome Page in which she explains the origin of the term "spite cake." It will be a good litmus test to see if you will understand this blog. Honestly, spite cake is the best thing ever but I'm not sure I can do the story justice. Plus, I don't have the photo of it and she does, so I'll leave it up to her.
