I still exist!

Why hello there! It has been probably about a month since I blogged. Man, I really am bad at this. I somehow find time to check my facebook every day... (well, lately even that has been slipping lower and lower onto my to-do list) but I can't even write a paragraph long blog? Pathetic. I really can't write long though, because
1. I have my first APUSH (ap u.s. history... oh yeah i forgot to update my "about me" side note... i'm a junior now.. and ap euro has been replaced with apush. yay. *note sarcasm*) test tomorrow that I desperately need to study for.
2. After I study for that I need to go church and to....
3. WATCH GLEE! What can I say, I'm a gleek! It only took me a year or two, but I'm finally hooked. My good friend Olivia gave me her entire season 1 dvd thingy magigy and I have already watched 8 episodes in two days. That's embarrassing.
So.. yeah. Aren't lists fun? They instantly make EVERYTHING more interesting! Take this sentence for example. I enjoy singing disney princess music, biking around my neighborhood aimlessly and eating ramen noodle soup. That's interesting.. but look at it now!!
THINGS I ENJOY:
1. Singing disney princess music
2. Biking around my neighborhood aimlessly
3. Eating ramen noodle soup
The cool factor just went through the roof. Oh man, there is actually no point to this post at all. OH WAIT YES THERE IS. I need your help. You. Yes, you! I have to keep another blog for AP Composition this year, (I've already started blogging... it's really not that great but it's called "advancedplacementblogging" if you want to waste your time) and part of my assignment is to find a blog to follow throughout the semester. Any ideas? My teacher would also prefer for the blog to be related to something I'm interested in... so maybe theatre, singing, dressing up in chicken suit costumes and singing soulful ballads to the elderly....
If you have any blogs you LOVE and you would like me to check them out, comment!! Or if you have your own blog and I don't know about it, tell me. Because you're cool. Okay, well my eyes are watering because my contacts  are butts so I should stop looking at this bright screen. Have a good day!!

T.V. Show Reviews

So I've decided to give you all a little trip into my mind... and specifically the part of my mind that views and comprehends television. Each show will be rated on a scale from 1 to 5 in the following categories: humor, plot, characters, emotion and believability, and A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S. (a word to describe the amount of time someone will actually be inclined to watch that show.) These are all based off of my personal opinion... so sorry if my beliefs contradict yours.


1. That 70s Show: 
Been around since the late 90s up until the early '00s.. Known for it's theme song and the catchy line, "HELLO WISCONSIN!!!" as well as its many sexual undertones and drug and smoking references.
HUMOR: 5
PLOT: 4
CHARACTERS: 5
EMOTION AND BELIEVABILITY: 3
A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S.: 3- (I love the first couple of seasons but once Donna and Eric get engaged I don't really like the show.)


2. Good Luck Charlie:
A newer Disney Channel show... viewer age demographic probably ranges from 7-12.... oh whatever. Has a very cute baby as a "lead" (Charlie) and a bunch of other mediocre actors portraying a typical American family.
HUMOR: 4
PLOT: 2
CHARACTERS: 2
EMOTION AND BELIEVABILITY: 1
A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S. 5. (Even though my personal ratings were poor, this show makes me happy and I always get excited when I watch one I haven't seen before.) 


3. The Simpsons
Been around forever. Seriously... I feel like I heard once that they have like over 500 episodes? Hold on I just checked on google.. as of 2011, they've had 22 season and 476 episodes. Talk about longevity! 
HUMOR: 4
PLOT: 3
CHARACTERS: 5
EMOTIONS AND BELIEVABILITY: 1
A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S.: 3. (I'll watch it when it's convenient but I don't go out of my way to seek out new episodes... especially the new ones, because by the 476th one they get a little dry.)


4. The Secret Life of the American Teenager
A break out series hit on ABC a few years ago, intensely dramatic story of a girl who gets pregnant at band camp. And then everyone starts hooking up and getting pregnant or dying. You know, just like every other American teenager.
HUMOR: 2
PLOT: 3 (Gets a little crazy as it goes on.)
CHARACTERS: 3
EMOTIONS AND BELIEVABILITY: 5/3 (5 for emotions, 3 for believability)
A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S: 2. (I got pretty into it for the first season and then it got ridiculous- hence the 3 for believability- and I lost interest.)


5. The Glee Project
My newest T.V. interest! I don't actually watch just "Glee", but instead I watch the project, which basically is a talent competition based on dancing, singing, acting (and the attitude) of a bunch of teens contending for a spot on a season of Glee. Intense.
HUMOR: 2
PLOT: 5
CHARACTERS: 5
EMOTIONS AND BELIEVABILITY: 5
A.W.T.D.T.A.O.T.S.W.A.B.I.T.W.T.S: 5. (I've never "followed" a T.V. show before this. My life has been changed.) 


Well, there you have it. All of these shows I am or have been interested in at one time (and have taken the time to actually watch for more than just one episode.) I hope this wasn't a complete waste of time for you. Now go watch some T.V.

Life Update.

So, as I have been gone for like 8 months, I think it is only fair I give you a very brief summary of what I have been up to for these past few months. My favorite part is the pictures. Didn't someone once say they were worth a thousand words?

Winter Formal: Being myself, I went with friends. My friend Mari here went with our friend Michael though! Pretty anticlimactic.

The worst class of my existence ended... A.P. Euro. Here is me celebrating. 

Funny Girl: A show I was in, performing at the end of June! Me with my friend Kara, who played Mrs. Strakosh! She was amazing.

Confirmation: I got confirmed!! Here are some of me and my other newly confirmed friends! Don't we look classy. (:

Romeo and Juliet: Casted as Juliet! This picture makes me really uncomfortable... so I'm just gonna skim over it. All the other ones were of me in the dressing room with people half clothed behind me so...

Summer time: Chillin like a villain. I was at the zoo with some friends in this picture... go youth!!












Well, I'm sorry if that was was too much information for you... it was probably more fun for me than it was for you... once again supporting how tragically pathetic my life can be at times. Have a good day!! That was random, but I really do hope your day is good. Hahahah....


Peace (Y)

Procrastination problem...

Well. It's been quite a while. Since at least December I believe.... I sort of went for several months either forgetting about my blog completely, reading other people's blogs and being reminded of how pitifully pathetic mine is, or remembering it and thinking to myself, "i really should get back to that about now..." well, as you can see, option three finally won. So here I am, waiting for my pal Jack to skype me.. (another reminder of how sad and boring my life can be... I'm blogging and WAITING  for someone to skype me. Really- why do I have friends?) and my blog suddenly seemed extremely appealing to me! However, for the .00001 percent of you that actually missed my blog, I apologize... and I think it's time for me to come to terms with this.. but I have a.. slight procrastination problem. Hence the title of this blog. BUT I would like to say... that there IS a reason I stopped blogging for a while. If you recall my last blog, (or even if you don't.. just go back and read it, or take my word for it) I was talking about my winter break experience at my aunt's house with my family. I thought it was a pretty decent blog... but when I write these I typically don't think about what other people will think when they read it.. I just like to hear the sound of my own voice. Or... the sound of my own fingers drumming the keyboard. Lame. Hahah! Anyway, after retreating to my bedroom.. or my cousins bedroom, I was heading back down stairs when all of a sudden I heard the unmistakable sounds of my own words from my latest blog... coming out of my mother's mouth! As I sat down on the stair case, hidden by a large wall, I could hear all of my aunts reading my blog to eachother! And the worst thing was.. they were making fun of it!  My mom was actually defending me, saying stuff like "I promise, she really is a talented student!" and the rest of them were, (most likely quite drunk off of festive beer) saying stuff like "who would EVER read this?" So, horribly offended, I came down stairs and crossed my arms at them, (HA. I'm sure THAT really got them good.) and told them off for invading my personal privacy and criticizing my thoughts. And crushing my dreams. Okay not really that last one, but I wanted them to feel guilty. Turns out, after I shut off the lap-top, they clicked onto the internet and clicked "back" over and over until they found this. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? So... I laid low on the internet scene for a while. I think 8 months is a long enough break though. Well.. sorry for boring you with this. Hopefully you didn't have quite the same reaction to my blog as my aunts and mother! *mutters darkly to self as she hits the "publish post" button*.
Peace. (Y)

A String of Coherent Thoughts...

*Stands on conveniently placed footstool and cups hands around mouth*- HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I was just announcing my presence... it's been a while! There's certainly a lot more pressure as to what to write now because it's like... what do I pick? There's so much to say! Hmmm... I could talk about winter break and life down here in New York and Connecticut, I could write a long and vengeful talk on the newest horrors ap euro has haunted me with, I could talk about how I want a pony and my own personal rainbow... (haha naw, just kidding. That's weird. And we all know what I really want is another cat.) Or I could entertain myself by typing up an incoherent string of sentences using my nose. Or elbow. And no, I have not done that before. .... hahaha (:

This is weird. I'm writing this blog in the middle of a crowded family room, (well, crowded if you count my two aunts, dad, and mom) with a fire crackling dead ahead of me. So a part of me is saying "don't write anything embarrassing or weird. Cause they don't know this blog exists and if anything catches their attention, they're going to follow it." And THAT certainly can't happen! And the other half is saying "psh, they're talking about flight times, Allison, they don't give a rat's cat about you! Go wild! Talk about drugs, smoking, RUNNING WITH SCISSORS!" Knock on wood. 

... Oops, I knocked too late. My mom just acknowledged my presence. And uttered the dreaded, "what are you doing Allison?" She must have sensed the mischievousness in my mind. Or my eyes? I don't know. 

Wow... this is a record- I've written exactly 137 words without actually getting to a point for this blog! I haven't even come up with a title yet- the sole decider of a blogs ambition! I think at this point, a clear-cut topic is a lost cause. Whatever, more freedom for me! There's no outline to hinder me from my true thoughts! [An insider on Allison's intriguing- haha!- mind: It's hilarious to hear my adult relatives talking about John and Kate Plus 8... and their insightful views on reality TV. I want more chocolate. MUCH more. It's just SO GOOD! The weird bruise/bump/bite on my aunt's hand is freaking me out. She needs to get that checked out- a list of symptoms and their corresponding sickness or detrament on google is not the same as going to the good 'ol docter! I should probably go join my cousins in the other room..... but- oh look.. they're doing manual labor in the form of dishes. Hmm.... maybe  I can afford to blog just a little longer.

Hahaha! That was fun! Once I get started it's sort of hard to stop! Just like coffee! Haha just kidding, I'm not a coffee drinker. How can something that smells so good taste SO bad?? 

Alright, I really should go now. I hope this is an adequate blog for such a long absence from writing! If not, I thoroughly apologize, and if you dial the number at the bottom of this screen you can receive a full, money-back guarantee- as long as this free scented candle!

Peace. (Y)

 

p.s. i didn't actually count 137 words... i guesstimated. Surprise!!

p.p.s. due to limited internet ability, i couldn't get a picture for this blog! Here is a box of virtual tissues for you to cry into for this loss.

Feliz Cumpleanos.

Birthdays are so weird. Have you ever thought about that? I don't know, like today it's my friend Sophie's birthday, (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIZZLE!!) and I just got to thinking about the actual thought behind someones birthday. If you think about it, the "birthed" didn't actually do any work. It's not like they were the ones who had to do all the pushing, or sit there and watch it all happen with a look of pure horror in their eyes- yeah, men. You have it easy... don't complain. - they just... popped out! I guess the conclusion that I've come to about birthday's is that it's really not like gratification for how many years you've actually been in existence, (unless you hit like the 90s and the hundreds... then people are just struck with pure awe that you're still pumpin' blood through those old veins!) it's more like the one day out of every 365 where you get a little praise for just being "you". I know that probably sounds super cheesy... well, that's because it is. But still, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think anybody really looks forward to their birthday because they're "just so excited to manifest in the 16 years to have experienced the emotional roller-coaster and physical obstacles of life!" although I'm sure that's definitely an important point of it. I think people are more focused toward the attention they get from other people. The positive attention. Because nobody is mean to someone on their birthday. If they are, they're either soulless creatures who live under rocks, or invisible leprechauns.  Like, oh my gosh.. traumatic and life-scarring story example time!!! Gather around children! *Fastens wire-rimmed glasses on tip of nose and begins to read from a dusty story book* In 5th grade, I woke up one birthday morning and, as I had gotten in a fight with my mom the night before, there was no card or balloon waiting for me at my breakfast plate like past years! To make matters worse, when I got to school, I didn't see a cute little note in my lunch-box from any of my brothers, mom or dad, and nobody said happy birthday to me! So when some random 5th grade teacher said, "happy birthday Allison!" in the hallway, I burst into tears, because (in the hype of my tear-stunted 5th grade rationale,) I was thinking "that's so terrible.. my family and friends don't even care about me... only some random teacher man cares about me enough to offer a feeble 'happy birthday'". (Later I found out my mom actually did plant a card in my backpack, and my day brightened from there.) Anyway, moral of the story was that I didn't actually care about turning 10, or 11 or however old you turn when you're at the insignificant grade of 5, I really only cared about the attention of people. Oh, and that everyone should be nice to the birthday boy or girl... because that is what is acceptable in society. 'Tis true. Hahaha, I just went back and reread everything in this blog... I think I need sleep. This is the epitome if bull crap tied together with a bow in an attempt to look slightly presentable.  Whatever, there are my thoughts on birthdays... which by the way, I don't intend to mean as dig to anyone who engages in normal birthday festivities or anything.. more just as shedding light on a new perspective of them. Mmmm...... all this talk of birthdays has really got me a craving for cake.... *licks lips as starts towards the door, mentally locating where the nearest batch of 'cake and bake' is*..

104. 22. 56. 234. The Picture Game.

Boredom... it comes with a price. Today, the price I had to pay was coming up with the idea of picking random numbers out of my butt.. (please don't take that literally. Just save yourself the mental image.) and finding the corresponding facebook photo that matches up to it from my albums. But to save myself some time, and effort, I am restricting myself to 2 sentences each for each picture. This is probably going to totally fail, as most of my ideas do, but for now it seems like a good idea. ("It seemed like a good idea at the time" has proven to be a quotation drawn up from many failed stunt artists, convicts in jail, and people at their death bed...... hmmmm...)

Oh, pish-posh. I don't give a poop! Here I go!

104: Me playing piano this past spring at my 9th piano recital ever! I love piano, singing, dancing, acting.... anything theatrical- you could say I'm a wee bit dramatic at times.

22: Me and Sara at the Wayzata Trojan's Championship game... needless to say, WE DOMINATED!!!! There's me representin' my trojan pride, and of course illistrating the basic relationship of me and Sara together. (:

56: Me rope-swinging it up at my biffle Mari's cabin... her brother James, my "sonny" (odd joke that has progressed over the years) awkwardly trying to hit me with ball attached to a rope is standing behind me? Haha i love the moroz family.

234: Hmm.. lots of out door pictures? I didn't plan that. (That counts as one sentence!!!) This was at my cabin, with my friends Paige and Janhawi... I don't know why I was hugging this particular tree, I mean, I'm all for the environment but i would never really consider myself a tree hugger.... gneh?
