I'm glad you asked...
"yeah, so i've been inundated with emails lately asking me questions! i am so popular!! so here's a FAQ section to sink your teeth into!"
i think it's really hilarious when people put FAQ things on their blogs because i have never gotten an email from someone i don't know asking me anything about anything. i don't know why they would need to ask me anything though. but who cares . i will now interview myself because i will ask the really tough questions...
Question: Alison, why don't we skip the small talk? Alright, you seem to have a lot of "pet peeves" if you will, and you are pretty easily annoyed. What gives?
Answer: oh. yeah. i guess so. i don't really know "what gives" and i don't know how to answer this question so i'll just list some things that bug me. BUGGIN" ME!! OKAY. to start : this is easy because it's on the radio as i'm telling you this: Postal Service or the Guy From Postal Service Who Sings in other bands too. he has pretty much ruined any other death cab for cutie song. but postal service pretty much sucks because it's just bad. i can't explain why but it just is. it's that simple. the songs that i will tolerate are the one about "broken ribs" where the girl feels that she "must interject here". the guys voice is pretty irritating and it makes my eye twitch and i hate that.
anyway. other things that bug me include not gettting your butt wiped clean enough, hang nails, throat boogies, fingers that smell like garlic, "DJ kaola" the evening DJ from KISS 106.1. i hate his voice. he sounds like a butch girl. i hate him. or her..? oh. and i don't like jennifer garner either. i hate her dimples and everything else about her face. i also hate lyndie england. she's ugly and mean. okay. i'm done with that now. what else do you need to know?
Q: Shit Dog. Okay. You seem to be obsessed with butts and farting and everything else like that. Why? WHY?
A: i don't know dude. it's funny. and corey likes to talk about it too. it's something we have in common. farting and stuff. quote from brad:" farting is the new black"
Q: Sure. Speaking of Corey, he's pretty hot shit. Can I have a piece?
A: NO. get off it.
Q: Okay. Jeeze. So how did you two meet anyway?
A: the first time i heard of corey was in the spring time of 2002 at ceramics class with eva. she was talking about him. she has another friend named cori who is a girl. so i made her re-name them so that i wouldn't get confused. the girl corey was "Cori One" and the other Corey was "Corey Boy" . i still got confused though. because she'd say "something something cori one blabhalhb" and i wouldn't remember who was cori one and corey boy. sheesh. THEN i went to alaska and the "only gay eskimo" read my palm and said that i would be "getting married soon" and that he "didn't see me living around mountains" and the person i would marry would "have a pony tail" and "be a lumber jack" he also said he would be a "jack of all trades". so after i got home i decided that i would move to iowa city. ( no mountains..???) THEN on august 3 (or maybe the 2nd i don't remember) eva had her birthday at brad's old house. i went there. i walked in the door and corey was standing in the hallway and i was standing on the stairs. i shook his hand i think. he had a plaid shirt on (lumber jack...???) but no pony tail (yet) we followed each other around all night. and brent tagged along too. i knew corey was for me when i made some kind of joke about 7th heaven and he said he had episodes taped. WTF?!!? (he didn't actually. but the fact that he knew about 7th heaven really got me going) anyway, that was how he got me downstairs to his room. (brent was there too. so there was no funny business) then he showed me his yearbook from first grade or something. i don't know why. he also gave me a stack of feminist magazines to read. i was unsure about this but i still liked him. when i was leaving for the night he jokingly said "we should get married!!"
we all went out to dinner the next weekend at aqua verde. it was was a disaster. that was the last time i saw him until christmas time!!
Q: That story is still tugging on my heart strings. It was really beautiful. Really, really beautiful...
A: yeah. tell me about it. is this done yet? i have to go to work soon. what else do you need to know?
Q: Do you eat a lot of fiber? What is your daily intake? Do you eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day too?
A: are you serious?
Q: Where is you favorite place to eat out?
A: we eat at hatties hat and i always get the country breakfast. it has biscuits and gravy. i have been dreaming about it all weekend. i am hungry for it now. so for right now, hatties bungly is my favorite place to eat. because i am hungry.
Q: Can I smell your armpit smell please?
A: only if i can smell your belly button lint!
Q: Why do you make up such hilarious words? Are you like, some kind of genius or something?
A: um. hilarious words? YES. genuis? PROBABLY. my current favorite phrase is "fungly bungly" or any combination of "mungly fungly bungly" but i will give credit to corey for that one (except mungly. i just made that up) he's my words inspiration. in fact, i steal most of my material from other people. they say it once and then i turn it into gold by saying it over and over and over and over and over....
Q: What is your favorite outfit?
A: is this interview for ladies home journal or something? favorite OUTFIT? i guess it would have to be corey's elastic waist comfort pants and my favorite blue cashmere sweater. the pants are big and the elastic waist band doesn't constrict or leave that ugly elastic mark on your skin. and my blue sweater is really soft. so that is my favorite outfit.
Q: You're getting married soon aren't you? That is a lot of stuff to plan. How is that coming?
A: fine.
Q: Fine? Are you getting nervous or anything?
A: yes i am getting nervous. and thinking about getting nervous gives me IBS. when i was in kindergarten i either threw up or shit my pants because i was so nervous about my first day. why do you have to ask and make it worse?
Q: Sorry.
A: "sorry" is not a question. it's like, a statement or something. i don't know.
Q: Yeah. So what are your hopes and dreams?
A: i dream of having kitty paws instead of hands. then i could touch my face the way a kitten does when it's telling you it loves you. kitty paws are the best. i have no hopes though. my expectiations of life are pretty low. yeah. that's about it.
Alison: Okay alison. Thanks for letting yourself interview your..self... we'll see you laters!!!
alison: smoofy.

sunday review
this is a picture of birds eating a dead squirrel.
fart stain. this has been a really long weekend. friday i made corey "shrimp skampee whatever" (recipe from scooter) and my hands STILL smell like garlic.
saturday i had my "bridal shower" and got tons of cool presents. and it's not even my birthday! after my present explosion we went back to the 'rents house and did stuff over there for a while. THEN we went home and unloaded all our pressies. after that we went over to duke's to see nick. they had FREE food and CHEAP drinks. after a long time there we went home and finally went to bed. today we helped eva move from a closet in the Udistrict to a closet in capital hill.
now it is the end of the day. corey is watching lars van trier's "kindom" and i am getting tired. there is only three weeks till our wedding and i think now i'm getting stressed out because there is a lot of crap to do. i am really busy all this week. i think i'm getting fat too. i think i have a "food pregnancy" from all the food i've eaten this weekend. GROSS.

i'm still tired
last night while i was trying to fall asleep corey kept talking into my ear. i don't remember what he was saying but i finally said "will you shut up! i really want to go to sleep!!!" and then he just laughed and i went to the bathroom. then he went to the couch to sleep. i went out there to tell him he could sleep in the bedroom but he said that i smelled like "panda B.O.". the first time he said it i didn't know what he was saying because i was tired and the words blended together. then he said it again. "you smell like panda B.O.!! haha" i really don't know what to think. i didn't really think that panda's got B.O. but i guess if they do it probably smells pretty bad. what's more, earlier he told me i had "salamander breath". HOW DOES HE KNOW THE ODORS OF ALL THESE ANIMALS?
anyway, i think it was unfair for him to tell me i had salamander breath because A) i had been sleeping, so of course my mouth is stanky. B) i made shrimp garlic noodly stuff for dinster. i'm probably breathing and sweating out garlic fire. BUT SO IS HE!
today i get to go open presents and it's not even my birthday yet!!

Posted by alison at 06:01 PM | Comments (0)
i hate you.
okay. so that interpol song that i hate is acutally called "slow hands" not "my hands". i am dumb. but it's not my fault that the songs sucks. it is on kexp NOW and it was on this morning before i left for work. TWICE TODAY. i'm pretty sure that i heard a different song that sound exactly the same. interpol smells butt holes.

something else
if anything could be worse than spilling apple juice all over stuff in my car it is probably this.
Posted by alison at 02:42 PM | Comments (2)
something awful
this morning i bought apple juice for breakfast. i opened it and drank some and then closed it and put it on the seat. then i got to work and it had leaked ALL over the seat, my purse and my food. there was actually a little puddle in the crotch of the seat. i didn't know what to do so i just left it there. i only had a few drinks out of it too! i was pissed. now i have to deal with it when i get back in the car. i hope it doesn't smell. i left my purse and stuff in there too. i hope nobody steals it.
fart.

it's a good thing we're getting...
our insurance will actually go down $80 if we are married. if we do not then it will stay the same.
BTW: will someone please tell me why every radio station keeps playing interpol "my hands"?? i hate this song. it is stupid and dumb and it is ruining my life. i hear it every afternoon on the way home from work. then i heard it last night on 107.7 when i was coming home from shopping. now it is on kexp this very second. I HATE THIS SONG!

right now
i am eating a donut with coconut on it. i have never seen anything like it before in my whole life. i got up early this morning so i could take corey to the drivers license emporium so he could take his written test. we thought since he waited so long to get it changed that he would have to take the driving test too. but he ran out with a paper copy of a REAL drivers license. i can't believe it was so easy. now i have to put him on the insurance so he can drive too. this whole thing is weird because i have only been in the car when he is driving TWICE. once last year when we were coming home from m-ville really late. there was a lot of constuction on the freeway so it took forever. i fell asleep. the other time he drove the mini van from his old house to the new one which is about 3 blocks away. so i really have no idea how he drives. maybe this is something i should know before i marry him. HMMM....
anyway. i went to nordstrom last night and bought a skirt for kristina's wedding. i bought a shirt too, but i don't think the shirt looks good with the skirt. i have a tank top thing i can wear instead so it's no biggie.
i'm going go see how much corey is gonna cost in insurance. BAFF.

my wound hurts bad
i put a bandaid on my burn after i got to work. it was staying on fine for a while but then it started to get all floppy so i took it off. now it is throbbing with pain. i think it is also causing me to be tired. because i'm not usually so tired at work... it is smaller than the last picture i put up. the skin looks like it's stretching itself back together. weird.
i want to stay at this hotel. it's the coolest thingy doo i've ever seen. i hope corey says "yes" to staying there at lease one night.
i went to market time this morning and they were having a 2 for $3 odwalla sale. i bought two. i also bought a day old muffin, which was scrumptious, and a toffee bar. i ate the muffin on the drive to work and then the toffee bar over a span of about two and a half hours. i only ate half as much soup because i'm so full!! i'm not lying!!!
i am supposed to be getting paid today. but instead i got a $150 cash advance because the lady who usually cuts checks is somewhere else. i hope $150 will last til september 2nd!!
when i get home i want to pinch a loaf and take a nap. but i should really just pinch the loaf and go to the mall to get a dress for kristina's wedding thing. or an outfit for my shower thing. i really don't feel like shopping.
i am going to go pretend i have oversized kitten paws instead of hands.

only in dreams
i almost had heart failure from the spider nightmare i had this morning . i woke up at about 5. i had been cleaning and i saw a big spider which i tried to vacuum. it didn't work and the spider jumped and was no where to be seen. i started to do the "spider dance" (sort of like the pee pee dance only WORSE) and told someone to get it off. i jumped around some more and i guess they said it was in my hair and then flicked it out. then i woke up. my heart was beating really fast. and i got up to go to the bathroom. i don't like spiders in real life that much but really HATE them in dream life.
i should probably dress my wound. i just accidently touched it and it hurts. i will wait till after shower time though. TIRED!

the flap is off.
i don't know if this is the best picture. i think it looks different "in person" so who knows. maybe my eyes see differently than yours. maybe my ears hear differently too and i wouldn't know what that has to do with anything. i left the bandaid off all day. i hope that was the right thing to do.
i need to wash dishes and cook dinner.

band aid off
okay. this is an "after" picture. the pictures i took after it happened didn't turn out very well. plus the skin was really light colored so it didn't look to bad. now it is red and oozing yellow goo. it leaves a goo stain on the band aid. my arm hair is long.
do you think it will leave a cool scar? i kind of hope so. then i can add it to the scar by my eye from when i fell on my face and got stitches. scars.

skin flapper
yesterday i burnt my wrist on a hot glue gun. i was trying to help corey glue paper flowers and i was waving it around, probably trying to detangle the cord when it happened. i started saying "ow. it hurts." (really droan-y) i looked down at it and the skin was flappy and the under layer of skin was all raw looking. it was grippa grody. so i went to the b-room and held it under the water. then i thought about the metal tip of the glue gun touching my skin, my skin melting onto the tip, my skin ripping away from my other skin and THEN i wanted to cry. and i almost started to. corey made me an ice bucket to keep it in for a while. after i took it out and it dried, i noticed that it was oozing yellow stuff. gross. then we went to the store and corey bought me band aids. then we went to dicks and got hamburgers to celebrate. only not really because we were just getting dinner. anyway. i pomise to post a picture when i get home. it's grippa grody. like i i said.

my mouth tastes like garlic
last night i went out to eat with kristina for her bachelorette party at buca di beppo. i got home and scrubbed my mouth out my when i woke up from being asleep for a while it tasted like i just ate a piece of pizza and it still "tasted good" inside my mouth. anyway, i brushed my toofers again this morning but i'm out of toof paste. also, my tummy hurts and i either need to fart and barf OR poop and burp. i'm hoping it's the "poop and burp" deal because i just pooped.
i'm going shopping with momela today at ikea. i might get a special "outfit" for my "wedding shower". not at ikea though, because they don't sell cothes...

quick notes
our crate and barrel registry says there is 36 days left until corn-dog and i get married.
wtf?
i am still at work. there is a surprising number of people that call after i usually leave.
last night They Might Be Giants played at the fucking zoo. the same zoo that is about 5 blocks away from where we sleep every night. and where we've been listening to dail-a-song non-stop for two flipping weeks. the first time i wanted to see them was back in 2k1. me and scoots bought tickets and then the whole 9/11 thing happened and the concert got canceled. i was pissed. they didn't reschedule. then i think they were here twice last summer while i was in alaska. then this, which i wouldn't have even known about, because i don't keep up on concert happenings anymore. i left work about 20 minutes after i usually do and the girl on the radio said "TMBG is playing at the zoo. i think its sold out but maybe not"
fart sticks is all i have to say about it.

my god. i'm in need of doing some stuff. not in any particular order.
-deposit money
-work
-shoppping (very, VERY important)
-DO PICTURES NONSENSE
-brush toofers before work
-take lunch to work
anyway, last night corey and i went to drop off the stragler invitations. we stopped at market time to get ice cream. we got "rocky road" and i don't know why. corey told me to pick one out and so i picked out of the sale ice creams. there was rocky road, cookie dough, chocolate chips!, and strawberry.
i picked the cookie dough first but the box was "damaged" . so then i picked rocky road when i should have picked chocolate chips!. i especially hate the little tiny mallows in it. that's all wrong. they should have put mallow cream in it. because that would be better.

stuff to do
these are things i need to do after i get home:
-send out straggler invitations
-
what the fuck. i just got up to distribute the mail. someone got a jcrew catalog and i read it and now i forgot everything i need to do today. oh wait. now i remember:
- send out straggler invitations
-get pictures from eva's b-day, lisa's b-day, and misc. stuffs resized and whatever else needs to be done
- make and eat dinner
-go on a walk with core-dog
i might need to stay late today though. which is good, because i like money, but bad because i'm grippa tired.
i'm going to go look for coffee.

suggestions
okay. so i was talking with greggle last night. and he mentioned something about asking people to suggest a song for corey and i to have our "first dance thingy doo" to which i'm really not looking forward to because i don't want people watching us dance.
sometimes we dance at home and it is not something i want other people to see.
anyway, the other day brent said we should dance to "you're the inspiration" by chicago.
other songs i was thinking about are:
venus- air
how does it make you feel - air
i keep forgettin - michael mcdonald(my idea. not corey's)
the seed 2.0 - the roots
i'm serious about "venus" and not so serious about the other ones. except for the micael mcdonald song. i could bop my head to that song forever.
i know someone somewhere will read this and have one song that they can contribute. all will be considered. none will be used. i just need some ideas.

no is always no. when i say no it means a thousand times no
i am in need of a nappy. i am bored at work. i forgot to bring my magazine that i thought i put in my bag. i wonder where i actually put it. i look forward to getting home and laying on the couch. last night i didn't sleep very well. i was sleeping on my arms funny or something and they fell asleep a lot. i really hate that feeling. some times if i sleep on the couch my arm will fall asleep even though i'm not laying on it. the other day i asked corey if my arm would fall off if it didn't get any blood circulating through it. i think he answered "yes" but it could have been "no". i don't remember.
last night we went to happy hour and mccormicks and schmidts. i was full before we got there but i ordered a half pound hambugler anyway. it was grippa good. then we went home and slept on it.

done and done
i just took the invitations to the post office and dumped them (gently) into the mail box. before that i ate a cheese and pastrami and tomato sandwich. it was very scrumptious. before THAT i opened a package that corey recieved from nordstroms. i got two sweaters. they are both cute, but unwearable until it gets colder out. and even before that happened i crapped the hugest dump in a long while. it was probably about 3 or 4 days of waste all clogged up and waiting. i'll spare you the details. unless you really want to know and in that case you can email me.
we got the wedding website done also. it can be viewed by going here.
now i am going to go finish watching the ring. i couldn't watch all of it last night so i stopped it and went to bed. then i had weird dreams which may or may not have been related.

wake up corey
it's 9:40 and corey is sleeping like a babe.
i have nothing to do. except fold directions papers for the invitations, cut paper strips for the invitations and address a few more envolopes. i don't want to do that though. so i won't. i could be watching tv, but corey will wake up. that and friday night tv is a dump. i have the office:season two on hold at the libaray and it was ready to pick up today but i didn't get it after work even though i make a mental note. hindsight is 20/20 i guess.
ben& jerry's ice cream is onsale at market time. 2 for $6. i'd go get some because i'm hungry but we bought two last night. i had "mint cookies and creme" or something. it was HELLA GOOD.
okay. i need something to do.

botched e-pizza-otomy
earlier this evening we bought a pizza from market time for dinner. red barron. supreme style. corey put it in the oven and was babysitting it. when it was time to take it out, i was sitting at the computer and corey went to get it. i was just sitting, doing whatever, and then i heard "oh SHIT" and a loud, prolonged sizzling noise. i got up and walked in there and saw our pizza flopped over on it's "front side" on the bottom of the oven. most of the topping went between the crotch of the door and the bottom. first i tried to turn the light on, but it had gone out when i tired to turn it on when we first got home. then i ran around looking for the camera but then corey yelled at me to get a light bulb. so i rummaged around for a light bulb. corey tried scraping the cheese-sause-pepperoni-sausage-goo off of the door with forks and put it into a pan. i watched. it was awful. he was so mad that he didn't want to eat it. so i ate most of it. i just realized now that i think that the pan he put the cheesy sause stuff in was a DIRTY PAN. which would be much grosser than just eating a flopped over pizza scraped off the oved door.
in other news:
corey took the invitation things to the printer. they will probably get printed tomorrow and the day after that and then the day after that day!! then i can put them together and and send them out.

things to talk about
my pants are too tight so i'm going to go put comfort elastic waist pants on.
i just sat down to write something thinking "oh. i don't really have anything to write about" and then "oh wait. yeah i do" then i sat down and now here i am, sitting, and my mind went blank.
um. while i was out walking to the mail box i picked up a crate that someone left out for free. i intend it to be used as a plant stand, but i will need to get more plants for that. so maybe for now it will be a magazine holder.
i vacuumed today. when we moved in the carpet was new, and now it has "stains" on it. i thought that one was a water stain (does water stain?) because water spilled there once. but i'm starting to think it might be something else. gross.
if corey would get off the other computer then i could do my picture putting up.
if eva ever calls me back and tells me if they are going out then i will take my camera and put picture up later.
corey and i have been listening to dail-a-song since saturday. almost non-stop.
at one point he wouldn't let me listen to it out loud because it was getting stuck in his head. my favorites right now are "mammal", "i can hear you", "pet name", "man, it's so loud in here" and i'm starting to like "fingertips" more than before. i told corey and my brother that i'm going to get little paws tattooed on the backs of my hands so that it's easier for me to "raise a paw" when i listen to mammal. corey said i would never be able to get a job after that. then he drew paws on me with yellow sharpie.
bah. i am unable to put a link up for the dail-a-song because i don't know why. so oh wellllll.

R.I.P.
i totally forgot the coolest part about going to carkeek park yesterday. WE SAW A DEAD SEAL!!!
when i first saw it bobbing in the waves i thought it was a log that looked like a dead seal. i said "gross is that a dead seal?" but i wasn't really sure. then i got closer and then i saw that it was a dead seal FOR REALS!! i took a picture. it looked like it had soars on it's body. i was surprised that no kids were poking it with sticks. it seemed that nobody else had noticed it was there. sad.

eva had her b-day party on saturday. i took some pictures and i will try to get them up by today or tomorrow. i was looking at them and noticed that there is only a combination of about 5 or 6 people in each picture. but no one else... i know there was other people there but i guess they weren't worth talking a picture of. smoofs.
yesterday we went to carkeek park. it's weird. there is a little beach area but you have to walk over a foot bridge thing that goes over the train tracks. while we were there two amtrack trains passed. the first time we were sitting and eating at i saw this middle aged mad run up to the tracks to make sure there wasn't any kids up there. the second time a train came we were on the stairs of the foot bridge and only about 5 feet from the train. i'm not lying. if i had been wearing my running shoes i totally could have jumped on it.
i just remembered that the other day when eva and i were walking out of the downtown bon-macy's there was some ding-dong giving interesting facts away for 25 cents. he was naming all these things he would tell you and one of them was "the difference between wolves and dogs" so i turned around and told him i didn't have any money but i wanted to the the difference between wooves and dogs. he said that wooves don't bark and dogs do. but i think i already knew that. so oh well.
