I am Rachel # 1 and proud of it!

I guess sometimes you have evenings where you don't immediately remember things, and over time it comes back to you. Evidently last weekend was like that.

Last night Will and I were chatting about random things like midnight forest (quite scary) and deep dish vs thin crust pizza when he reminded me of the drunken phone call I had with him on the way back from Camelot (yeah, already blogged about that). But that reminded me of one amusing thing. Outside Camelot they list all the girls dancing that night. One of the girls listed was "Rachelle 1" ...I know its spelled differently but its practically me.

You see in any group of friends names are bound to overlap, and lucky me we know a couple other Rachel's. Pretty soon after meeting the others my immediate friends made it clear that I was their favorite dubbing me "Rachel #1"...I think Leslie is the one that came up with that. One of our friends would trick them into going places on the pretense that "Rachel" was going to be there, and they soon learned to ask for specification if it was "Rachel#1".

A couple months into this we were at a party and one of our friends started flirting with another Rachel, so Leslie and I approached him, looking out for his best interest and said "we wont stop you, but just to warn you that's "Rachel #3" and we don't even know who #2 is, we just know she doesn't deserve that spot". He still hasn't forgiven us for putting on the mental cock block.

So thanks to my friends that made me Rachel #1. And weird that Camelot also has one!
