Hello carousel world!!! Allison here back at it yet again! Please hold back the applause (I know it will be hard). Life has been pretty sweet lately! I’ve been working a lot which is good and bad because I’m tired. I work again today at three. I rewatched Little Miss Sunshine yesterday but talked through most of the movie (which I tend to do) so idk if I should still technically say I watched it? But I logged it on my letterboxd anyway. If this is a letterboxd sin and I’m ruining the purity of the app I send my deepest apologies to Mr. letterboxd.

I’ve been really slacking with my movie watching lately which is disappointing, I started off the year watching at least one movie every day. Some days I would even watch two or three! Now it feels unlikely I will get one movie watched in the whole week. Womp womp. Tomorrow Maddie, Sophie, and I are running around doing fun stuff all day which I’m really excited about! Any day Allison, Maddie, and Sophie get to hang out is going to be a good one because it’s just written in the stars that way. Then at night, tomorrow I’m going to see some bands play at a bar near me! Woohoo! That’s all I’ve got for today people. ttyl xox

Howdy ho! Allison here yet again. I’m home at Maddie and Sophie’s familial home for the weekend! Woohoo! It’s been super fun, today we went to an antique store where I got a Dalmatian Pound Puppy stuffed animal which I am very excited about and a shelf for my wall! I have been saying “I really need a shelf for my wall” for at least 7 months and just never bothered to get one…. so today was the fateful day… it finally happened…. and it has puppies on it! Huzzah! finally a place for all my trinkets….. mwahahaha.

I also bought a word search book at a drug store and I’ve been doing it all day. I can feel myself getting smarter with every word I search. Okay that’s it kind of I think! I work a lot next week which is good but I know I’m gonna be pooped about 2 days into the week. So i’m mentally preparing myself for that. Bye! Thanks for reading :) xoxo

I have decided I should be a beer drinker. It feels like adults drink beer. I don’t really know where I got that idea from but, I keep telling myself “Well girl, you are almost 23, it’s time to stop telling people you think beer tastes like a fart in a can and suck it up and drink some”. I figured it would grow on me like how kombucha tasted bad the first few times I drank it and now I think it’s sooooo yummy. But how long would it take? Would I have to suffer through a million beers before I actually enjoyed it?

No. I drank two and suddenly the heavens opened up and it tasted almost okay! It was not torture! So now I can be a real functioning adult and drink beers at my leisure. I think in my head drinking beer makes me a “cool girl” and I will confirm I do feel slightly more cool now that I enjoy beer. This is adulthood, baby!

Well, that’s it. I have to go to work later since the dreaded restaurant slow season is over and I’m once again scheduled more than 3 days a week. It’s also almost my birthday so that’s exciting too. Okay bye! Love you!

HIIIIIII!!!!!! Allison here yet again…. I was a major adult today and got many major adult things done like updating my address on my ID and other adult things I’ve been putting off for at least a month. But that’s not even the most exciting part about today… later tonight… I will be seeing… the Book of Mormon!!! Like the musical… not like an event with a bunch of real Mormons or something. This will be my third time seeing it but I have not seen it since 2017 so this is pretty huge. My friend Rachel saw the same touring production a few months ago and said there were some changes made to the script I am NOT too excited about. But that’s okay. We move on. It’s still my favorite musical probably ever. Of course, that ranking is tied with Spring Awakening and Falsettos though but that goes without saying.

So basically yes… This is me coming out as a musical theater nerd. I’m not ashamed. This is my truth. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. So judge all you want.

kk that’s it. BYE!!!!!! xoxo

Hi!! Allison here!!

Who’s excited for April fools day tomorrow? I know I am. I have to work in the afternoon so i’m expecting some hijinks to ensue and I WILL be prepared for whatever the day has in store for me. Maddie and I went to Ann Arbor today and I got two cds from the record store… They Might be Giants - Here Comes Science, and the soundtrack for the movie Kids. Which is an extremely eccentric and worrying group of cds to buy. I was expecting someone with a straight jacket to be waiting for me outside the record store, but I made it out without being captured so it’s okay. I have a date later which makes me kind of want to throw up but in an exciting and happy and good way wahoo. Currently watching TPM Vids top 10 animatronic malfunctions to calm my nerves before I must leave.

That’s it! Bye :P

Hi!!! Maddie showed me the diary she was making and I told her I actually want to do that too so now I did it.

I don’t have a lot to say about crazy things that have been happening in my life because I have spent the last two days at home from my waitressing job watching HBO’s Girls and it’s completely taken over my mind. My close friend Rachel told me that how I feel about all the characters makes sense for my life and who I am as a person (love Hannah and love to hate her, hate Marnie, love love love Shosh, and Jessa looks like Fiona apple). She said what makes the most sense is my new mind numbing obsession with Adam Driver. Rachel can usually read me on these things pretty easily, she knew I would love Dan when I watched Reanimator, and I can’t think of any more examples but that’s a pretty important one. and she’s always right about it. Whenever I am not watching Girls i’m sitting and thinking about Adam Driver and how perfect he looks with his shirt off. it’s an illness I think.

that’s kind of it! la la la everything is awesome. ttyl.

love,

Allison
