new job perks

since i haven't posted in quite some time, i felt the need to write something....so here are things i love about my new job (that don't necessarily have anything to do with actual work).

1. working downtown. it's really fun.
2. running into other people that work downtown. it's fun.
3. the ice makers on our floors. i know this sounds really stupid, but i love our ice makers. it's great enough that we have ice makers, but the ice makers we have produce the best kid of ice ever....you know, the really small kind of round ice? like they used to have a pizza palors and stuff. i think that sonic has that kind to. if you're a fan of ice, you know what i'm talking about. it just makes me happy.
4. not driving downtown forces me to walk around and enjoy denver.
5. ordering office supplies.
6. having an actual office
7. the stamps i get to use. god i love stamps.
8. getting to make to do lists every day and crossing things off of them

this post may make me the dorkiest person ever, but at least i'm happy.

dodging a bullet

it's the moment so many little girls dream of: a gorgeous bouquet of flowers--perhaps roses, perhaps lillies--gently streaming through the air to land in your open arms. a welcome signal that you will soon be wed to your prince charming.

maybe i didn't dream of that moment when i was little. when i found myself admist a crowd of eligible women awaiting the bouquet toss, and saw the collection of flowers heading toward me, i actually ducked the bouquet.

now before you start judging, let me explain. this was a moment of self-preservation. no, not self-preservation in the sense that i would never get married. but the bouquet was heading toward me awfully fast. in those few, brief seconds, i realized i had a choice: i could either dodge and duck or risk being knocked out by the flowers and being wisked away to an emergency room for some sort of eye injury. i did what every woman who desires to keep her already poor eyesight would do: i ducked. and proudly.

dream a little dream

okay, here's the skinny: i've lately been dreaming about a guy that i've had no contact with for over a year. literally. and when i did run into him a little over a year ago, i was way too forward and he showed no interest. figures we wouldn't have any contact for quite some time.
then the dreams arrived. in each dream, there's some sort of conflict that i have to take care of involving mutual acquaintances. i'm running around like a headless chicken, then he approaches me. he tells me that he's tired of not talking to me and wants to spend more time with me in the future. then i wake up.
why must my subconscious tease me so? what's wrong with my head?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's the day after Valentine's Day. Do you know what that means? It's Allison's Birthday! Wishing you the best!

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day. I love you all and apologize for being so out of touch. It's been a very hectic and overwhelming few months lately and that isn't just because of the high school show. Someday soon I'll be myself again.

chrismakkuh makes people have the crazy

i went to a holiday party last night. there was to be a pollyanna, which is phillyspeak for a gift exchange.

it was decided to play "mean pollyanna" wherein the person after you can steal your gift.

i'm not a fan of gift exchanges but i bowed to pressure and participated.

as number eleven, i picked a bag full of lush products. yay!

and then it happened. another girl ripped the bag from my hands as i was opening it, crowing, "don't bother opening it, i'm number 12 and i'm taking it."

now, i have no problem with her wanting to steal my gift. good for her. but dear lord she was rude! she didn't need to snatch it; i would have handed it over gladly. and as far as i know, it is never necessary to give up your diginity for a bag of bath products.

so i ended up with a sega genesis game system thingie, which is pretty fucking cool. except that it was labeled a "boy" gift and it was verbally assumed that n would be receiving the gift ultimately.

to which i replied, "fuck that, it's my damn video game."

i hate christmas. and gender bias.

i've done it!

finally! after a little less than a year of complaining and writing and sulking and venting, and a little less than four months progressively retreating from anything that resembles a social life, i've managed to finish my "thesis!" (that's a "thesis," not a thesis 'cause we don't have to do a defense.)
of course, now i'm worried that the copies won't be bound in time or that the possible subway strike will happen earlier or that an asteroid will crash into the kinko's that has my paper. of course i'll always find something to obsess over.
but, really, except for the possible asteroid attack, i'm done.
now, i'm going to bed.

reunited and it feels so good!

It's not that I have forgotten about our little blog here....i swear. it's time to get the energy flowing again. I'll start by sharing this story with you all....

so i've recently developed a crush on this great guy. i've been slowly getting to know him better because i don't really know him well. i've been forming my game plan in my head. well, i knew there was another girl interested in him. recently i've noticed them spending more time together and the rumor mills have all lead me to believe that they are dating. there's your background information....
so last night i was at a show, having a great time. in walks this guy and the other girl. at some point in the evening i found myself in a conversation with this girl and ending up asking if they were together (very casually). she answered and then went on a random rant about how much he aodres me and talks about me all the time.
so what's crappier? having the rumor confirmed by the girl he is indeed dating or having that girl tell you that he just adores me? blech. it makes me want to throw up and punch someone at the same time.
