13 Things I Wish I'd Known

So this probably isn't the most original idea I've ever had, but some days it is made incredibly clear just how lucky I am. And just how far I've come from my gawky high school self. But sometimes, I wish my high school self had known a few things ahead of time, because it would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Dear Allison-at-14,

Hey! It's me, Allison. More to the point, yourself at 19. I'm currently watching Batman: Under the Red Hood (It's a fantastic animated movie coming out in 2010. You watch cartoons without hiding them now, by the way), I go to the local community college, I am single, I am a co-captain of the Improv team and a leading member of the theatre program there. Life is...interesting, to say the least. You're beginning high school dear, and I think there are a few things that you should know before you start this endeavor.

My feet hurt...

I'm not sure if that's because of the hideous shoes I'm forced to wear for work or if it's all the walking required for work. Either way, this whole sitting business feels very very nice right now.


Speaking of work, as I'm sure you're all wondering, it's going quite fantastic. I mean, it's work. So obviously I can't stand my manager occasionally and sometimes I'm like WHEN CAN I GO HOME?! But all in all, it's not a bad deal, especially when we're busy. As long as I have stuff to do, I like the work. Waitressing, in my book, is a great job for me. Keeps my ADD self busy, doesn't require too much time sitting on my arse being bored, and there's even some acting involved. Smile...always smile. Even when your manager is yelling at you for not setting a table because you were too busy SERVING THE CUSTOMERS...


I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so loud, I'll behave now...

Hi my name is GG and I will be your blogger today!

SO GUESS WHAT!!!


...NO I did not find out Batman isn't reawaitWHAT?! ...I will deal with YOU later.


No, what I was going to say was...I got a job! Huzzah!

On the Hunt...

So I recently went Job Hunting. It kind of sounds exotic, doesn’t it? Job hunting. Going after the ever elusive beast, the noble, majestic animal known as the Job.
