Doing another major friends cut.
Congrats if you make it.. this one's gonna be pretty damn thorough.

Giant friends cut...

alisondowns@gmail.com — Sat, 15 Apr 2006 08:50:05 GMT

Don't get offended anyone... but.. I have a TON of people on my friends list that I don't talk to anymore, and lots of people I never really talk to at all.. and I'm having a lot of trouble keeping up with my friends list!

So.. I'm doing a massive friends cut.

Comment if you want to stay. Thanks :)

alisondowns@gmail.com — Thu, 06 Jan 2005 03:49:11 GMT

Post anything that you want, and post it anonymously.

Anything. A story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love, what you really think about me - ANYTHING. Be sure to post anonymously and honestly. Post twice, if you'd like. Then, put this in your LJ to see what your friends have to say.

I've turned off the IP logging feature.

I've never posted this before because I thought it was silly, but I just read some really interesting comments on someone else's page.. so I thought I'd give it a try. Enlighten me.

NYC was great. The bus there was 4 hours though, and I had never been so bored. Luckily Meghan had headphones which I got to use since I had left mine at her house. When we got to NYC i was SOO excited, i couldn't sit back in my chair, I kept looking out the windows and telling meghan to take pictures of things.

The first thing we did were take pictures with statues, and then buy an AWESOME map. Luckily I know how to READ a map.. Will and Meghan apparently have zero navigational skills. We went to Times Square first, ALMOST went to Madame Tussauds [[at one point i REALLY want to go there, Will thought it was a waste of money]], went up the Empire State Building [[the first elevator scared the shit out of me.. the ear popping was kinda cool though]] went to eat and got some sushi, Meghan and I bought new shoes, and we went to Ground Zero.

There was this creepy guy who I think MAYBE didn't speak English.. I didn't think he was homeless, but regardless he was strange.. he just kind of stood near us when we were stopped at a bench out of the rain reading a map. At one point he tried to say something to me and when I leaned closer to hear him he tried to kiss me!!!! I had only seconds to react but thankfully I was able to dodge before he actually came in contact with me... Will jumped up and yelled "HEY!" and the guy moved on to Meghan! Will was like "NO!" and he grabbed the guys shoulder, the man was like 'I apologize' in an accent, and we power-walked away. The guy followed us for a block but then we lost him.

Will and i 'got back together' on top of the Empire State Building. Though it doesn't feel like getting back together.. but is that because it didn't feel like being apart, either? I'm not sure.

times square, complete with the HUGE target billboard

our little rendition of 'kissing the war goodbye'. I swear one day I'll make the EXACT duplicate of that picture.

the haunted train

Oh.. ok.. the haunted train. We were waiting for an uptown train and this train pulled up but it's doors opened only on the side away from us. Also, this train was COMPLETELY empty. Then it pulled away, and another train came back on the same track in the opposite direction. With NO ONE on it. Then the doors opened on our side. And we went to step on... but the lights turned off. And then on. And then off. Then back on.

Meghan looks at Will.
Meghan: Um.. do you want to get on?
Will: [shaking head, in freaked-out voice] Nooo...

Finally we got on, sat on it for awhile, and it didn't move. Another train came on the THIRD track and the conductor was like "That one will take you there first.. go on that one." So we did. That's the ghost train story.

After Ground Zero it started to get really cold out, and it was getting dark, so we ate dinner at a two story Burger King that Will was in love with, and then we went back to the Port Authority. We had to wait about an hour for our bus which sucked.. then there was a HALF hour security check.. and once we got on the bus, the heat was on all the way and we were sweating to death. Then it turned out, it was a SIX hour bus ride since they were making a bunch more stops. It sucked. We didn't get in til 2:30. I fully intend on writing a complaint letter to the Grayhound people.

I think that's all for now, I'll post more as I think of it. Hope you had a good birthday Meghan :)

So much post, they had to start another pile

alisondowns@gmail.com — Fri, 16 Apr 2004 03:49:33 GMT

I've been sitting here typing and posting pictures for so long that I've decided I'm going to split this into two different posts. Here is the first one. Stay tuned for the second.

Okay, so I left after I got home from work the other day and finished packing up all my stuff. The bus ride up was pretty much uneventful, both Will and Meghan were waiting for me when I got to the terminal :)

From there we went out with..fuck.. my memory fails me.. we met up with Chris somehow.. and drove around a lot..we tried to find a place where there was 'smoking and dancing' but Meghan decided she didn't want to go into Legendaries, and Town Line was closed. Danielle F and Danielle G were there too.. we wound up walking through a stop and shop [[i wanted so desperately to find 'strike-anywhere' matches]] and then we headed back to Flavin's house and hung out in her living room.

The coolest picture of me ever, mostly because i look NOTHING like me..

Adorable

Meghan's dad after we attacked him with stars...

That night meghan and I brought Will in on our chocolate-chip pancake tradition. We got off to a bumpy start [[the burner was too hot and we almost set off the smoke detector]] but after we adverted that crisis, the pancakes came out good :)

Meghan shaking the batter

This picture is why you should never trust meghan to add 'just a little' of ANYTHING to a recipe.. lol. Too many green sprinkles= Irish pancake.

Our scrambled pancake

Meghan called this one "Alison being a dehydrated loser". She's not all wrong :)

The next day was Meghan's ACTUAL birthday. Her dad went out early to find a cake but apparently all of the gold cakes with chocolate frosting were no where to be found. We got up and got dressed at some point and had to wait for Kailyn and Mikey to get home before Meghan could open her present.. she got a DIGITAL CAMERA!!! [[the perfect gift.. hurray for smart parents, right?]] once Shanon got there we all went out to Outback and had dinner.. I got Alice Springs Chicken and almost died it was so good. Then we went back to Meg's and hung out there for a little while.. Danielle F and G showed up. We headed off to Goodtimes and some drama insued, but all and all it was pretty fun, especially when some random lady gave Will and I about 40 tokens and 30 tickets that she wasn't going to use. Score. And we even rode the lamest bumper cars EVER!

This just has to be posted: On the way back from Outback Shanon was sticking her tounge out at me so I leaned over and kissed her. I don't think she'd ever been so shocked. Meghan JUST missed getting the picture, but she got the reaction shot!! Check it out:

The next post will be NYC only

Tattoo you...

alisondowns@gmail.com — Thu, 01 Apr 2004 05:30:15 GMT

Went out with Meghan today to get my tattoo :-D We were trying to find "Tribal Ways" but the numbers on Mass Ave messed us up [[and we lost Mass Ave somehow lol]] and we wound up at the Garage.. so I went into Chameleon and got my tattoo there :)

I walked in wanting comedy tragedy masks on my crotch... but then I looked at some of the artwork and decided I wanted CHERRIES.

Then I couldn't decide if I wanted them on my hip bone or my crotch....

so they kinda went inbetween..

Pictures?

Okay, so only ONE of those is of the tattoo.. but isnt it fucking hot?? <3

My story for meghan

alisondowns@gmail.com — Sat, 25 Oct 2003 07:59:18 GMT

This story was created by me at around 2 AM. It amused me to no end. I am crying with laughter trying to pronounce some of this shit.

xKittenofDoomx: Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, there lived a little green girl, on a little green planet called SMOODGH.
AprilRain1384: YAYYYYYY!!!!
AprilRain1384: hehehehehe
xKittenofDoomx: And this little green girl's name was Farphegnugen.. but.. to make things easier people called her "F".. which isn't pronoucned "EFF" as the english language does.. it was pronounced "EGGILLEGAHHOODLESCHWAAAA" but.. you can pronounce it "EFF" cuz it's easier, goddammit.
AprilRain1384: lmao
AprilRain1384: thankies
xKittenofDoomx: Anyway.. F was one day out walking her moon poodle and picking moon daisies [which really didnt look like earth daisie at all... they were made of glass and VEEEERRRY shiny and delicate] when all of a sudden.... something hit her in the head!
AprilRain1384: =-O
xKittenofDoomx: F stood up and gasped "WHAT THE EFF?!" [which was pronoucned EGGILLEGAHHOODLESCHWAAAA, of course] and rubbed her little green head and looked down at the horrendous offender
xKittenofDoomx: It was a ROCK!!! [Which is pronounced... oh.. forget it]
AprilRain1384: lmao
xKittenofDoomx: F picked up the rock and examined it. It was green and dry and blue and wet. She did not understand how one rock could be so many things at once!!
AprilRain1384: neither can i..*ponders*
xKittenofDoomx: F turned to her moon poodle
xKittenofDoomx: "How can a rock be green and dry and blue and wet all at once?!" she asked
xKittenofDoomx: "I have no idea!" responded her moon poodle [of COURSE... they can talk too, silly] "Let's go ask the president!"
xKittenofDoomx: So off they went to find the president
xKittenofDoomx: But first they ran into F's mom. You dont even WANT to knwo what HER name was!
AprilRain1384: hahaha
xKittenofDoomx: "Hey mom!" yelled F "How can a rock be green and dry and blue and wet all at once?"
xKittenofDoomx: "are you on MOON ACID?!" shrieked her mother, throwing a pan at her. F ran for cover.
xKittenofDoomx: [[i'll be a minute.. that totally cracked me up and i have to stop and recover]]
xKittenofDoomx: ANYWAY. . so F ran away and hit in her fathers study. Where she bumped into [guess who] her father.
xKittenofDoomx: "Father," she asked "How can a rock be green and dry and blue and wet at the same time?"
AprilRain1384: [moon acid reminded me of the bleach, lmao]
xKittenofDoomx: Her father looked at her. "Did you garshwitz it out of your farhooogentflarget?"
xKittenofDoomx: "FATHER!" exclaimed F and ran away again.
xKittenofDoomx: "Where are you going?!" her father yelled
xKittenofDoomx: "to find the president!" she yelled
xKittenofDoomx: Then she fell into a hole
xKittenofDoomx: "Weeee!"
xKittenofDoomx: When she landed she was in the presidents Squoval office.
xKittenofDoomx: "MR PRESIDENT!! I have something to show you!!" cried F, trhusting forwatrd the odd rock.
xKittenofDoomx: "Holy McGullicuttyMcGee!!! " he cried
xKittenofDoomx: "I don't understand!! Mr President.. how can this rock be both green and dry and blue and wet??"
xKittenofDoomx: "Where on Moon did you find this rock?!" he demanded to know
xKittenofDoomx: 'I was picking moon daisies and it hit me in the head.. why?"
xKittenofDoomx: the president was quiet for a long time.
xKittenofDoomx: "Little girl... this is an EARTH rock. It can only mean one thing... the..... THE EARTH IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed frantically
xKittenofDoomx: And with that, the earth fell on them and squished them into MOON jam... the end

Pictures :o)

Meghan, me and Will in the car.. on our way to God-knows-where.

My eyes are scary and glowing in that one! And Meghan's in her dork shirt :)

So tired!

alisondowns@gmail.com — Tue, 20 May 2003 14:22:02 GMT

I really wanna say fuck it, and like, go back to bed.. but.. my mom gave me $20 [SO rare] and I know it's gonna get taken back if I don't get my nails done. Plus they're just in bad shape, I can't wait another week.

Goddamn me, having to work at 2. Otherwise I'd just go in leisurely at like, 5, but it's not even noon and I'm awake, hoping Will's gonna call so I don't have to try his house. Too lazy and dreading the walk down my street.

My mom surprised me the other day when she told me she was 'too old' to walk down Dwight road.. and she was serious. I guess I don't realize as I get older, so do other people. I'm practically 20, which makes her just as well 50.. and I don't even know how old my stepfather is, he's gotta be like, 60 by now.. or just about.

Okay, this is random and pointless. Will, if you read this, gimmie a call, I'll be getting dressed and stuff.

Later all :)

I want your picture, I want your picture..

alisondowns@gmail.com — Thu, 17 Apr 2003 03:04:29 GMT

I just remembered that the other day Will and I played within darkness. It was difficult to play within darkness because we could not see each other. So we decided that was stupid and turned the light on.

alisondowns@gmail.com — Tue, 18 Mar 2003 03:16:15 GMT

Here I am getting licked :) I remind myself of a kitten.. or like.. a lion.

Meow...Rahhr!!

Today was fun :) I'm on vacation, so I went to Westfield to see Will pretty early this morning. At like 2:30 or 3 Angie called and we all went out :) The weather was unbelieveably beautiful today, [finally] and I just could not bare to sit inside any longer.

Tomorrow:
Will's coming over at 10 or 11, he gets out of class at 9-ish
I'm shooting the movie from 3:30 to 5. [Possible cancellation]
From 5 on, I think I'm gonna apply for jobs with Will and Angie.

Or whatever.. I don't know :)
I love vacation. Just 2 months left of college..
Then in September Will transfers in :)

..and.. life rocks even HARDER..

Someone is trying to hack into my livejournal. I wonder if I should post more public entries, if they're really so interested in what I have to say.

Kitty..

alisondowns@gmail.com — Mon, 17 Mar 2003 00:34:18 GMT

This is Will and I.. we've both prolly gotten roughly 3 hours of sleep in the past 3 days.. gotta love my sleepy-eyed look. ALL the photos taken came out with my eyes half shut like that, lol.

Dude.

alisondowns@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Feb 2003 19:31:40 GMT

Okay.
Let us get one thing perfectly clear.

Regardless of how you mess up your own life by making your OWN decisions..

It is just that.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is YOUR life. You run it how you choose. You create your own reality, and your own DRAMA.

And when you screw up beyond belief and there's no way out..

BLAMING PEOPLE WHO LIVE 100 MILES AWAY AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SITUATION DOES NOT HELP.

It just make you look bitter because you wanted sex you could never have.

But I must admit it's rather amusing to learn of new relationships I've ruined each day.

I wonder what will come next.. was I responsible for Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's divorce?

And while you're at it.. I killed Mr. Rogers too, didn't I?

I bet I did.
