So today I woke up, and I felt like complete crap. My throat was swollen and I couldn't breathe. I layed in bed and thought about what Dad and I talked about the night before. And about going to Wisconsin over Thanksgiving break to see Tristan. I emailed him, told him I would go, and I told him I wanted to make us a big dinner.

He emailed me back ( Read more... )

So today was a rough day. A REALLY rough day... It was the first holiday get-together since the big D... And it was Dad's side. And it was awkward b/c not only was Mom not there, but neither was Aunt Brenda... So it was like super huge divorce-ville. Yuck.

And when we were leaving Dad goes, "Well that wasn't too bad..." And I go, "Why would it be?" ( Read more... )

Tonight, instead of studying, I went to my old website and started reading my "blog" entries.. I got to July 11, 2003.. And I read this:

Things with Chris have romantically ended for the time being.. Probably forever unless by some stroke of God we end up together again somehow during college.. It's not something I really want to talk about here. ( Read more... )

Ok so yesterday was probably one of the best Saturdays I've had as a college student.. Definitely the best so far this year.

There's kind of a huge tradition at good ol' ISU to tailgate the morning before a game at this crappy old bar on the edge of town called The Tip Top. I always knew about the Tip Top b/c it's been here since my mom went to ( Read more... )

So I'm kind of becoming obsessed with searching for new icon pictures and re-doing my journal every so often. I really like this look. I just think this devil girl is so cute, and for some reason, the color I used to hate, I'm just out of no where becoming really fond of brown. My favorite pants are the new brown chords I bought. Weird. Because I' ( Read more... )

( The complete reason I am in love with Ms. Monica :) )

So I've been watching the tv non-stop.. Hoping we were going to fight this thing in Ohio and still take the Presidency... And Kerry just conceded. Bush for another fucking four years...

Just for the record, I really take offense to the "Haha you voted for a loser" comments I've been receiving. Unlike you, I busted my ass for my candidate. I did ( Read more... )

Ok so as everyone knows things have been stressful lately.. And emotions have been flying high.

Well in case you missed it in an earlier post, not only are my parents getting a divorce, but so are my aunt and uncle. Weird, right? That's what I thought.

Well my cousin Brett and I have always been really close... But in the midst of all of this, even ( Read more... )

Sooo I mentioned in my last post how Leonardo DiCaprio was coming to campus today to talk about John Kerry.... WELL he was first off, joined by Jon Bon Jovi.. So I knew that Kelly & I MUST go.. As we are HUGE Bon Jovi fans ( Read more... )

Ok so I was kinda bummed about mising the BIGGEST POLITICAL RALLY in Iowa history where Josh Hartnett was present.. But I had to study for my statistics test, which I got 92/100 by the way.. YES ALISON GOT AN A ON A MIDTERM.. Fabulous :)

But tonight I'm volunteering down at headquarters, and Erica is like, "Alison, check this out!" and she hands me ( Read more... )
