My birthday is coming up. I’ll be 24. Instead of making me sad like it normally does, this time, it made me happy. I realized how lucky I am, and how much I’ve grown up. This past year, I’ve had two love interests, which is pretty good for one year. I lost my virginity, which is something that seemed like it was never going happen. Sure, things didn’t work out like I would...

I'm a terrible person.
I should stop trying to talk to guys to make me feel better about myself, when I have no interest in them, and I’m still hung up on someone else. I have a headache, and I just want to go to McDonald’s. Maybe I’ll go do that now… and listen to Death Cab in the car. It’s a Ben Gibbard day, and it’s overcast to boot.
To do today:
Go back to bed for a little while.
Check on my Dad and drop off some stuff to his work for him.
Go get McDonald’s from the drive though, super size everything, and relish in America’s awesome fatness/laziness.
Edit my pictures in Photoshop.
Put all my assorted French and Italian ephemera in my Molskine.
Work on my paper for class.
Give myself a mani/pedi.
Use a mud mask.

I missed you a lot!!! And, I’m going to spoil the surprise present I bought you, but, I found a ruler with your name on it! And I freaked out because I know you never see your name on anything in America (you know, those stupid carousel that sell key chains and school supplies) but I loved finding it in Paris, it was like you were with me, no matter how far away I was. Kind of like Runaway...
"You're so weird, Allison".
I steal the safety information from airplanes. I collect them. Upon discovering this is how I roll, my (future) teacher said I was weird.
Goodbye, America!
I wrote a long post but the delete button decided to take me back to a previous visited site and I lost it. Maybe it’s for the best. I’ll miss Coca Cola most, as I always do when no longer in America. As the wise women in my life advised me (Grandma, Mom and Anaïs) I’m leaving all emotional baggage back home where it belongs. I’m going to be a whole new Allison overseas....
I'd be the weirdest Playboy bunny ever.
Turn Ons: Cemeteries, art supplies, large noses, double murder/suicides, foreign accents, libraries.
Turn Offs: Poor grammar, ignorance, not being true to thine self.
About me:
I’m a walking contradiction. I want to be an elementary art school teacher and ceramicist/sculptor, but if that doesn’t work out, my other dream jobs are becoming a rogue taxidermist, a locksmith, a forensic paleontologist (A.K.A. dinosaur artist), or a private investigator. I’m the kind of girl that loves: makeup, getting dirty, being outdoors, trying all kinds of different...

WatchThe Decemberists preforming The Wanting Comes in Waves on The Colbert Report. Most likely the closest I will come to seeing them live, because I think they are afraid of Florida.
