I’m kind of obsessed with Pinterest, even though I’m sure that since its been around for more than a year all the cool kids have moved on to something new. About three months ago I got the idea to do a little round-up of the frequently-used pin captions that drive me crazy, so naturally I’m just now getting around to it. Maybe I need to make myself a spray-painted mason jar calendar so I can keep on top of these things. Anyway, here they are:
“Pin now, read later!”
What if I need to fight cramps naturally RIGHT NOW? Don’t tell me when to read my pins.
“Genius!!”
OMG genius! I’m sure Albert Einstein wishes he had thought up the towel rack pot lid holder instead of the dumb old theory of relativity.
The life story
Thanks, Nathaniel Hawthorne. I was hoping to find a narrative about your friend Elana’s family and your Easter traditions when I searched for Monte Cristo sandwich recipes.
The repeater
Why, why, why?
This post kind of makes me sound like a crotchety old lady. GET OFF MY LAWN, PINNERS.
Are there any Pinterest cliches that give you the sads?
The title for this post should have been “pinterest, pinterest, pinterest”
OMG, GENIUS!!
and Brilliant! people say brilliant! way too much on pinterest. funny
You’re totally right, I can’t believe I forgot that one!
Haha
Pinned this, but will have to read at a later time. Seriously though, I very rarely change the captions. So… don’t hate me because I’m lazy.
I re-pin your stuff all the time and they’re always good
I also just joined the pinterest crowd… so I’m hoping there’s still enough cool kids on there to make it worth my time!
Well if we all love it, it must still be cool!
I go a little crazy at the double-DIY. “Do it yourself instructions for a DIY project!”
I usually just use pinterest to promote the recipes on http://www.thatrecipe.com. I really don’t need another time sucker.
Although Pinterest can certainly be nothing more than a great way to waste time, I’ve actually found a lot of really great ideas on there. I’ve made several of the recipes I’ve found, used how-tos from there and even bought a few things that I saw there first. Basically, it’s up to the user to have it be useful or not.
I agree. I pretty much use my recipe board instead of cookbooks, and I get a ton of outfit ideas from it, too.
You crack me up!
