So Far, So Good

I’m waiting on my towels to dry, so I decided I’d update the ol’ blog. I’d say no one reads it, but my blog stats says otherwise. (Blog stats also infers that the general public thinks I am an expert on Kellie Pickler, but that’s definitely not true. I just like [...]

Qui Suis-Je?

I started taking French in seventh grade. We used a book called Allons-y (French for “Let’s go!”), and one of the first things in the first chapter was a section called “Qui suis-je?” (That’s French for “Who am I?”) I think that might have been the section about how to introduce yourself, [...]

Oh, and …

Someone commented on my About Allie page, and for the life of me, I cannot determine whether it’s for real or a spam comment.  WordPress is usually really great about getting the spam comments under control, but one slips in every now and again, and I just don’t know if this is one or not.  [...]

Just Happy

I thought about titling this “I could die right now, Clem.  I’m just … happy,” which is a line from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I don’t really want to die right now.  I don’t feel like I could, either.  I’ve got too much living to do to stop now.
Tonight was one of [...]

Putting the Pro in Procrastination

I am one week into school, and I am already putting off homework due tomorrow.  For my only class.  That I’ve had a week to do.  I might chalk this one up to senioritis … or just plain laziness.  Tiredness?  If that’s a legitimate word, I’ll go with that because I am exhausted.
Today was probably the [...]

Hey, Mr. Postman

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for more unsent letters.
Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you for introducing me to the glory that is Friday Night Lights. I am in the process of developing a full-on addiction, and I’m okay with that. NBC has been partially redeemed for cancelling American Dreams by airing this fine program and [...]

Welcome Back

I’m hanging out at Elizabeth’s, watching Friday Night Lights, waiting on dinner, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to update.
I’ve been back since yesterday afternoon, and I’ve yet to finish unpacking. In my defense, I ran out of hangers, and I can’t exactly hang up clothes without those. [...]

What I Did Over Christmas Break

Here’s a list:
- Drove between six and seven hours to be with my family for the holidays
- Slept at least ten hours almost every night
- Baked twenty dozen cookies
- Walked thirty to forty-five minutes every day (minus four days)
- Succumbed to the PR tricks of Matt Nathanson — and loved it
- Discovered the joy of [...]

I’m So Excited! I’m So Excited! I’m So … SCARED!

I hope the blog title brought everyone back to 1990 and the episode of Saved by the Bell where Jessie Spano got hooked on caffeine pills.
Tomorrow and Tuesday are my last days at my parents’ house. I’m ready to get out of Indianapolis, the city of endless road construction and needlessly cold weather, and [...]

(Anti)Social Network

Let me start out by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I don’t know how 2007 was for y’all, but it was only so-so for me, so I am welcoming 2008 with open arms and a great sense of optimism and hope for another fabulous year in the life of Allie.  I hope y’all have an amazing, [...]
