Always Alexandria's Greatest Hit #3:

Post Title: 'Listen Here...'

Posted: December 14th, 2009

I am 99% positive this is my all time favorite post! Enjoy friends!

a little pomp and circumstance...

I have SO much to blog about, I am very much behind. I decided I will catch up on old posts in between telling you all about the road trip Bff Jil and I just took. If you are not aware of this trip click here and play along in a lovely game I created for you all.

In May something kind of epic happened, I became a college graduate. I was not down with participating in the commencement ceremony at all. Why? Well because I am going to grad school and I feel like I am not even done with school yet...but I gave in and walked to please the family. I was SUCH a picture failure on this momentous occasion...so epic of a failure that I have not ONE picture with my mom from graduation. I am still bitter about that fact. So here is a picture explosion from graduation and the party that commenced that same afternoon. Enjoy...

Sometimes...my school has a cheesy slogan around the stage. "Today Decides Tomorrow." Wow. Brilliant. I totally wonder who came up with that little gem...

Sometimes...I leave graduation early and book it home to take pictures in my cap and gown instead of fighting the crowds in the stadium. Sometimes I also change out of my pretty graduation dress into jeans without thinking they could be seen in this picture with the grandparents, one of which is apparently coughing up a lung...

Sometimes my niece is the cutest thing on the planet (okay she is ALWAYS the cutest thing on the planet)...

Sometimes my mom's friend Julie sets up a bar in the backyard...where Bff Jil, Connie, and I proceed to make (and drink) mango margaritas. Yum...

Sometimes Julie is a terrible example...such as letting Bug be her bartending assistant for the afternoon. *facepalm*...

Sometimes I almost die of shock when I find a picture of my brother Jon-than, and he is actually smiling AND looking at the camera. He is probably smiling in this picture because Lisa is being inappropriate and making him uncomfortable...

Sometimes the calm adults sit around the patio table and shoot the breeze....

Sometimes the wild & crazy adults stand around the 'bar' and do straight shots of tequila...

Sometimes those same wild & crazy adults do more shots of tequila...and more...and more...and then a few more...just for fun...

Sometimes the calm adults and the wild & crazy adults come together for just a quick moment to eat some delicious cake. Seriously, it may look like a cheeseball cake but Costco makes THE best cakes ever. Don't hate...

Sometimes Bff Jil and I take a picture, and sometimes that picture is our 'signature pose'. If you look at every picture of me and Jily it looks just like this one. Faces smashed together and booty's out...we also seem to be wastey faced in a lot of the pictures we have together...

Sometimes my mother's friends attack me when I am taking a nap (aka passed out) in the chaise lounge. Yes, they are crazy. Yes, I grew up with these two around me. Yes, I will need years of therapy because of Julie and Lisa...

Sometimes Jon-than and Bastina hang out and just witness all the crazy that is going on around them (okay I am not going to lie...Bastina joined in on one or two of the rounds of tequila shots)...

Sometimes I feel as though I have to break down a picture for you all. What exactly was going on in this photograph? Well there is a word Bff Jil hates. I mean she screams when she hears it and I am 99.9% certain that it makes her ears bleed as well. What word? Well I like to keep this here blog PG-13...let's just say it starts with a 'p' and is a sicknast word for female genitalia (are y'all picking up what I am putting down?) Everyone decided to start using said 'p' word just to drive Jil crazy...including her dad and her mom...which is who Bff Jil is yelling at in this picture. As for what I am doing in above photo, well I am minding my own bidness drunk texting in the background...

Sometimes I am ridiculous and do dumb things. Sometimes I am responsible and slightly uptight. Sometimes I make my mother proud by getting wasted and then passing out on a lawn chair at my graduation party...in front of all of her friends. Sometimes I get a SUPER bad hangover that lasts for THREE days. Yep. THREE whole freaking days. Sometimes I know I am never drinking again...

So there you all have it. I am a college graduate. I am done with school for the next year. I am a real life grown up now. No more passing out on lawn chairs for this gal. It is time for me to pull on my big girl panties and face the real world. Wish me luck...

listen here...

So I started this blog in August basically out of boredom. I had nothing better to do until school was back in so I thought, 'Hey...write a blog and then you will become Internet famous like Lauren.' So this here blog was started...and I figured it would be around for like a week before I tired of it. No such luck. I freaking adore my blog, and I actually really enjoy posting on it most of the time...

Here is the deal my friends. I get anonymous comments from lamespice people (actually I am 99% sure the comments are coming from one person; the other 1% come from my friend Jen who refuses to make an account). There are certain fangirls who are taking me to task because of my 'off color humor' with my twitter friends. Would you all like to know what I have to say to THAT?!

.......

Yep, all I have to say is that. Well, that and there are no more anonymous comments allowed at this blog!

Moving on...I need to mansplain something to you all.

In case you didn't know, my name is Alexandria and this is MY blog...

Sometimes I wear glasses. Glasses that I sorta needed to read...but not really. Glasses that I feel make me look smart, and to be honest I mean I am pretty darn smart. However, on this blog I say made up words, abuse punctuation, and pay proper grammar no mind. Also, sometimes I buy glasses just because they are Dolce & Gabbana...

Sometimes when I go out to celebrate Jil's birthday I get drunk. For some reason when I get highly intoxicated I close my eyes A LOT. In order to see straight one eye has to be open while the other is closed...it is ridiculous...but also hilarious...

Sometimes I make really bad fashion choices (granted this picture is from when I was 18). Notice the hair...the WAY too heavy eye makeup...the french manicure, that had an airbrushed heart on them, my date. I can however be grateful that I did not have on a bright orange dress like the lady behind us...

Sometimes I think this picture of my niece holding my Grandpa's (EMPTY) beer can is funny...and the other times I think it is freaking hilarious....

Sometimes I try things even though I know I am not going to like them...such as camping. Yes, I went camping with Jil and her fam (only overnight, in a trailer, on the beach) and it was not awesome. However, I smiled and tried to have fun and therefore I ended up having fun! Also, sometimes I love a hoodie and jeans and a face that has NO makeup on it...actually most of the time that is true...

Sometimes if I feel like I am having a stellar hair/face day I will document it via my camera (this was NOT a good hair day...it was all about the face). Then when I get home and upload said photos onto my laptop...I realize that I wasn't having a 'hottness monster' day at all. I was having an 'If looks could kill I would light you on fire with my eyes' day...

Sometimes I love my best friend so much that I agreed to be her Maid of Honor at her wedding when we were 18, even though I strongly dislike weddings. But, I love her so I let her try to make my hair big and fabulous...just to make her happy...

Sometimes I say how much I dislike children and then I remember how much I love my niece. Srsly. This amazing 4 year old is my favorite person on this planet and I cannot even begin to express in words how much I love her. She is a brainwashed Democrat (or 'Democrack' as she says), she is beautiful, and wants to be a doctor...or the president when she grows up. She loves peace signs as well...

Sometimes I stand up for what I believe in...actually I always do that. I also respect that my beliefs are not in line with other peoples and that is okay. Sometimes I just have to do what I think is right, all while respecting what other people think is right, sometimes I am okay with that...sometimes I am not...

Sometimes...I make the. hottest. faces. ever. Jealous? Sometimes I make inappropriate jokes that are full of innuendo...sometimes I drink beer only from the bottle...sometimes I swear A LOT in real life, but for the sake of being a nice person AND respecting the people who read my blog I do NOT swear on here. Sometimes...I make TWSS jokes ALL day long. Sometimes the only person who actually calls me 'Alexandria' is my mom...or my older brothers when they are mad at me. Most of the time people call me Zander, Alex, Amie Amia, or Auntie Hammie. Sometimes I turn my head phones up really loud on my iPod while listening to musical soundtracks so I can sing and pretend that it is my ACTUAL voice. Sometimes...I make Vlog's (well I only made one) where I have no makeup on AND my hair isn't done...also I talk like a valley girl (no I am not linking to it because it is heinous).

There you have it folks...sometimes I do those things. But ALL of the time I am who am I. I do not apologize for it, because I am pretty darn happy with myself. If YOU do not like me...then please don't take the time to read my blog...it's cool.

To all of my lovely friends who have decided they do like me AND my blog, thank you! I heart you all something fierce!
