Greetings, loved ones.
Before I start talking, here's my plug for you to scroll down and check out the section on voting! Check your status, get an absentee ballot, please vote. I'm not telling you how to vote, (though you all know how I will be voting & that if you vote differently I don't want to hangout with you) I just want you all to participate in politics. Its important 2 me. thnx.
No one is at work today so I am CHILLIN and very lonely - blog post time. It's not that I've been particularly busy, I've just been so tired and uninspired this past week or so that like, what was I going to write about? "Sup guys. Been fallin' asleep on my couch while watching baseball for the past two weeks. Back is really bothering me. Still don't have an I.D so...its been quiet...alright, until next time." You don't need that. I'm trying to stay consistent with blog posts but, quality over quantity, people.
When I haven't been slipping into the ole 7th inning coma on my floor/couch, clutching a trough of popcorn, I've been working on somewhat of a re-brand for my blog. Tryin' to get professional over here. A big struggle has been coming up with a blog name that I feel appropriately represents the mood of this blog and the way I want this space to make people feel. I'm actually laughing to myself while I write this because I've legitimately sat here like "who knew branding was so difficult" as if I'm not the assistant to the two Executive Creative Directors at an ad agency. If I ever in passing said to one of my bosses "yeah the creative aspect of branding is kinda tricky, huh" I think he/they would legitimately open the window and tell me to jump. That being said, their CD told me a few days ago that they told him I am the funniest writer at this agency so stay tuned for my SNL audition. Me? A comedic genius? Can't believe I'm just out here making jokes for free. Being silly at no cost to you.
My agency is coming up with a new name right now as well, so I've been watching that painful process carefully & taking all the tips I can get. Branding's a bitch. Finding a name that's unique, intriguing, evokes a specific feeling, and is memorable? As if someone who was named Allison in the late 90s should know anything about unique monikers. TOUGH. I feel very fortunate that I've been around the creative process of re-branding my agency - DEFINITELY has helped me in my own undertaking here. I know the vision I have for my blog and now its just listing off names until something sticks (I *think* I have one but, tbd).
Other updates on the week!
Sox are in the World Series and my new ID hasn't come in yet so that has, in the word's of our Human Refuse in Chief, been my own personal Vietnam. Please pray that my ID comes in soon. I want to have fun.
A man with an apparent trash/financial exploitation fetish (speaking of human refuse) reached out to me early this week so that was sobering. Should've probably just not responded to him but it was phenomenal group chat content that I couldn't pass up. Apparently we had different definitions of exploitation - I just wanted money for nothing and he wanted me to give him my old shoes and garbage. God has abandoned us.
Election Day is coming up! I don't think I can emphasize enough how important this election is & how crucial it is that you make it to the polls! You can check your registration status here, download an absentee ballot here (Massachusetts) if you've moved and aren't able to get to your polling station, and check out the ballot questions here. As you all can probably guess, I will be voting Democrat across the board, but I'll do a more comprehensive breakdown of the ballot questions closer to the election! Here is a list of your rights as a voter in Massachusetts - PLEASE remember that if you are in line at 8pm when the polls close YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO TELL YOU YOU CANNOT VOTE IF YOU ARE IN LINE BY 8PM. I know life is busy and these midterm election lines are predicted to be particularly long - if you're there before 8pm, stay in line! They can't make you leave. Please, please vote - make it fun, bring a friend, bribe yourself with red and blue m&m's and a glass of merlot after, just please vote.
I dropped the ball with Halloween costumes yet again, surprise, so I will be some unenthusiastic version of the devil. Honestly I've wanted these Alice & Olivia pants for so long that I'm pretty much just being the devil so I had an excuse to finally buy them. These will also be my voting pants.
I watched Friends for the first time last night. You read that correctly. Spent 3 episodes of Friends plucking my eyebrows if that's any indication of how rough I was looking.
My hair is growing so quickly & my stress-induced bald spot is gone! I started mixing Vital Proteins collagen peptides in with post-gym protein shakes & I kid you not NOTHING has ever helped my hair before like this. I've taken soooo many different hair supplements/treatments and nothing has worked as well. It doesn't have a flavor so you don't get that disgusting fish taste in your mouth & it also comes as a creamer for your coffee which I will 100% be trying.
One bars continue to be God's gift to earth for those also in the gluten/nut-free zone. Just tried the cinnamon bun flavor - That is #confirmed that good good.
I think that's it! That's the news! Everyone send good vibes that my ID is going to be in the mail with all of my clothes when I get home & that all of my clothes are going to look hot on me. For any blog name suggestions before I just go with the one that I have in my head, please slide into my DMs. I'm going to go back to watching raccoon videos for the rest of the day! I love raccoons, ugh.
Happy World Series/Halloween weekend! Beat LA! I regret buying that Dodger's hat!
