Oh Hey
My name is Lyndsay Rush.
And I’m having a great time.
I like puns and wordplay. Also, shenanigans, rabbel-rousing, and tomfoolery.
Here are some things the critics have been saying about the blog:
“The funniest thing since ‘Son of the Mask’” – Emma from Chicago
“A fast paced, nonstop, rip roarin’ thrill ride into the sunset”–homeless man
“What is that?” –Steven Colbert
“Very often the singular reason I get up in the morning.” - Annie F. Downs, Esq.
“So refreshing, I dump out my glass of water and drink her words instead” –man in a desert
“MESMERIZING”– my mom
”I want to go to there”–Megan Longo
“More interesting than numbers.” – Nichole Ocepek
“Emotional rollercoaster”–waitress at Chilis
“The motivation behind every single thing I do and write.” – Mindy Kaling
“Inspiration wrapped in honor dipped in truth coated in hilarity. Within a dream.”-Allen C. Perry, realtor, ladies man.
Feel free to write in your own reviews and I’ll post them!
**Editor’s note:
I know I’m supposed to have a nice, clean ‘theme’ for what I write about, but that’s never really worked out for me. So, I’m just going to write about whatever I feel like telling you.
Because I am the boss of my own life. And also of this blog.
I’m glad you’re here!


Hey Lyndsay. I stopped by your blog today. Am trying to do a better job of introducing myself and making real life connections while flying through the blogosphere.
My name is Sarah. I teach at-risk high schoolers and write books for Z in between changing diapers. And one thing we have in common is a love for Anne Lamott. I’ve read everything she’s written, seen her in person and am looking forward to her book Imperfect Birds which will be released in 2010 (though I like her spiritual memoirs most).
Blessings, girl, stay the course.
Sarah

Dear Lyndsay.
All I can say is that if you were at my school you would be my best friend.
I totally love your blog.

And your hair.
And I promise I will come back to read more.

Hey, I read and enjoyed your post on the SCL blog! I was poking around your blogs, and saw that you went to KU, so I thought I’d just say hey as I’m currently a senior at KU myself! Library computers are still slow and Parking is still the worst thing ever except Housing, but hey all in all it’s a fun place to be, learn, and make friends!
[Reply]
just stumbled upon your blog, and i’ve decided to make every single person i know read it. because it’s hilarious.

When I was 12 I had a huge T.V. crush on DJ Tanner from Full House – thanks for being the second person I’ve crushed on without meeting.
