so matt submitted his resignation as a&e editor. he made many good points when he submitted his resignation to me. there's one thing about rampway that would even do me in. it's the fact that no one cares. i feel like i'm the only one who gives a damn about rampway. it has been very tempting to turn in my resignation and just write and not worry about everything. with the exception of matt and arica, matt now gone, i feel as if i can't count on my editors. hunter never sent the december 19th update through which of course makes me wonder if he really cares either. matt's resignation leads me to recognize that maybe i'm not that great of a leader and maybe i should step down even though this magazine has been everything to me the last year. maybe i should.

Current Music: Just a Ride - Jem Subject: for my cdoftheweek secret santa... Time: 11:03 pm Current Mood: amused

whoever that may be... i know, i know...it's been a while since i've updated this thing. i essentially switched blogs (http://blog.myspace.com/marzipan1230) and just use this for my communities like cdoftheweek and steelerfans. but now that we have these secret santas in cdoftheweek, i felt the need to let my secret santa know a little bit about what's up with me (unless they want to skip this completely and go to my myspace profile. no matter though.) my last update was in august...and that wasn't even a real update. and some of you read this instead of my myspace and that's unfair to you because you haven't known what's been up with me. this past summer was spent up in pittsburgh watching my nephews, now 4 and 2 (on my birthday in january). it was a fantastic experience actually. sure, i was stressed out and i missed my friends, but i was able to bond with my nephews, deadlocking my position as the greatest aunt of all time and spending time with my sisters who are, as most of you know, 14 and 10 years older than me. it was a great time. i got back and jumped right into the journalism cirrculum and rampway online (rampway.org). needless to say, running an organization like rampway isn't easy...especially with some of the staff. but we're managing. and i especially have to manage. i'm also holding not one, but two retail jobs at lenox. the body shop and express. it's exhausting and it definitely caught up with me this week since it was finals week. my parents keep telling me to come and visit them which i will on the grounds they'll stop asking me if i have a boyfriend yet. no. i don't. i don't have time for a relationship. i can find two hours for sex, but not 24/7 for a relationship. that brings everyone up to date. and i'm going to try and keep both of these and we'll see what happens. ~allison

yeah. it has been a while. woot for a while. not too much has happened. i'm up in pittsburgh for the summer watching my nephews. it's exhausting. especially when cameron's yelling at the top of his lungs. sheesh. i was home in augusta for a week. not too much hanging out since i had to pack up again for pittsburgh, but i did get to spend a little time with chris and it was actually a lot of fun. i didn't once want to strangle or verbally abuse him for once. :) i'm so exhausted. i'm ready to crash and it's 10:22. ((i started this entry at 10. i had some things to do.)) i gots my new chuck book. but i haven't started it yet. i still want "haunted" but i don't buy hardbacks especially when i know the paper is coming out in the future. oh! i'm also writing for another online magazine. digsmagazine.com wants me to write a review for art spigelman books. i'm excited. speaking of online magazines...hunter, i want to talk to you about something that's not about rampway but our future endeavor on atlanta. hopefully, you'll answer when i call. ;) but that's it. later guys.

so...johnnie cochran has kicked the bucket. you know what this means...two more will die soon. my money's on the following two (in order): terri schiavo jerry falwell (he's in critical condition right now...viral pneumonia) i may be psychotic for this. but i'd rather be psychotic and right than sane and wrong. and i know i'm not the only one who believes people die in threes.

it's only tuesday but it's shaping up to be one hell of a week. yesterday was a long day. fortunately, i didn't have to go to work. i wouldn't have wanted to anyway...one of my friends was having a hard time and is going away for a while. i'm not sure how long but he'll be fine. i promise. today, i'm skipping a class so i can get some rampway shit done before the poetry reading tonight. i'm meeting with pam to go over the budget, i'm interviewing nick for the showcase editor position, and i'm checking mail. when i get to it. i'm tired already. i hope a lot of people show up to the poetry reading tonight. it would be good to feed my ego. tomorrow there's another media advisor interview, work, and finishing the budget to send to pam and a story due thursday. thursday is the meeting. friday is the presentation to the fee council for the budget. i'm going to lose my mind.

Current Music: Numb - Linkin Park Time: 08:42 am Current Mood: grumpy

so it's 8:42 on a monday morning. what the fuck am i doing up so early? let's just recap on my day. i couldn't get to sleep until 3:00 because i just could not get comfortable. at 6:38, i get a phone call from latoya who has left her access card at home and needs me to come downstairs and let her sorry butt in. now fully awake, i decide this is a good time to go downtown and put up rampway flyers promoting the drag show because no one else will. i go up seven flights of stairs at gcb and back down putting up flyers in the main stairwell and the side stairwell. i go through kell but there's really no good place to put up in kell. i put up in sparks. i come back to the university center and put flyers up here. there's still that bulletin board in alumni hall, but i'm not touching it until tomorrow. but when i'm done with gcb and come back to the office, i realize it's 8:00. i honestly thought that it was around 9:00. so i'm here for another hour than i should be. at 11:00, i have the media advisor interview. at noon, i have to have lunch with them. i go home. i might be able to take a nap but that's highly doubtful since i have to be at work at six and i would have to get ready. maybe i should call in today. I'M SO TIRED.

i feel so much better after reading hunter's post. i think he's right...i think rampway will shape up to be a fun place to work and an awesome online magazine. the meeting last night was so productive. i was really proud of everyone who showed up and contributed. we redid the whole storyboard and we have new, fresh ideas up there. i'm really excited for all the stuff going on in april (drag show, poetry contest, etc.) because latoya's organization is going to help us out as well. woot. i can't stress how excited i am for rampway. it's the first time in a while. sigh. things this past week have been nuts. the actions of many of my friends concerning relationships has left me to reminisce about my same problem they've been encountering just recently. in a way, i have to thank chris for what happened. i now feel wiser and stronger because of it. i know it sounds silly, especially if you know what chris did to me. but i can't explain it. it's just...there. a sense of gratitude in a way. huh. school's done. thank god. i really am starting to dislike my italian class for the simple fact that i can't understand the language. of course, i realize this now. i just worry about the final interview at the end of the semester because he's expecting me to know italian. i shudder for my grade in that class. i have work tonight. it's nice going to work. i mean...it just feels natural to go in there and work. i've done a good job of fitting in too...not only with the staff but with sales. ooh. i get a free mini body butter tonight. tight.

sigh. another day at work. but i love it. i really do like working there. it's a lot of fun. and the quotas aren't that bad. especially when i sell more membership cards than the managers. i still have an account on open diary just so i can check my other friends' diaries. i kinda wish they would all convert over to livejournal. it'd make it easier for me to remember the fact i need to check in on their diaries. but i was reading one of my friend's diaries. she's a year younger than me and has a problem with her mother. she can't wait to leave. i think that everyone who's still in augusta can't wait to leave. it's nice being on your own. speaking of which, apartment searching starts this week. there's one place that i really like and dallin really likes. we just have to find out what the other one thinks. hm hm hm...not naming any names. i have two tests tomorrow that i haven't studied for. i'm not worried though. they're in theatre and jour 2500. piece of cake. reminder!!! poetry reading tuesday at 7 in the gallery lounge. EVERYONE must come!
