Coping Strategy #2

Making a replacement Rachel.

When your friend leaves you with only a gaping chasm where she used to be, the obvious solution is to create a surrogate friend.

Because Wilson seemed to be such a pleasant companion in Castaway, we decided to make a similar substitute for Rachel... only with paint, not blood.

So on Sunday we set to work.




So you can see, paint + volleyball + a little ingenuity = admirable substitute for an absent friend.

She almost immediately jumped in and began participating in our activities:

Doing homework



Watching Firefly



And just chilling at Megan's apartment



We think she's very much like the real Rachel, if a bit rounder and more body-less.

Also, this version of Rachel can be thrown, spiked, hit, and generally used to vent pent-up frustration. The original version is far less well-suited for this.
