Being a Northern Virginia native I am almost embarrassed by my lack of knowledge re: fun and interesting things to do in the DC metro area. Having lived here since 1991, minus 5 or so years during college/grad school, I should have a thorough knowledge about the cool haps going on in the city – but I don’t, not at all. I am about as clueless as those guys that still rock trucker hats, it’s sad really (P.S. trucker hats = major turnoff. Justin Timberlake, supposed trend originator, has since stopped wearing them and everyone else should too).
Despite being informational challenged I still find this area to be full of wonder and magical, yet sometimes scary, things (like the Metro - amazing yet horrible at the same time). My intention for this blog is to use it as a journal for all my future adventures and misadventures around the DC area, sharing my experiences and newfound knowledge with anyone that cares (or is just really bored at work). Truth be told, the last time I had a blog I was a sophomore in college and it was basically comprised of entries where I whined about how my boyfriend at the time sucked (he really did). Let me just say that I vow to not let this one take such a tragic and pathetic turn, it really wasn’t cute. One good thing did come out of my old Xanga blog, I met one of my best friends on there and to this day we still talk/hang out regularly. Who knows what good things this blog will bestow upon me…Fame? Fortune? Success? A pony? I guess only time will tell.
Clearly the mundane details of my day at work are not very exciting (yay budgetary data!) and I see no reason why anyone would tune in to read that, therefore, I will be scheduling at least one new adventure/outing/experience per week to help ensure that my reader(s) don’t fall asleep from boredom (I’m being optimistic here with the addition of the "s" huh?). I will gladly listen to any suggestions that you may have, assuming of course that they do not put me in any sort of grave danger, minimal danger is acceptable though. Please feel free to leave any suggestions or thoughts either as comments or to shoot them over to my email at AllisonsAdventuresinWonderland@gmail.com.
First real post to come soon!
Ashton Kutcher started the trucker hat trend...didn't he? Either way I remember JT wearing them and I agree that they look ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYAY for Xanga friends! With this blog, I wish you fame, fortune, success and a pony...all of which are much better than me so it can only get better right? :)
I've "started" a blog too. I haven't posted anything yet but I'm working on it. It won't be as interesting as yours though.

My dear Shanners,
ReplyDeleteYou are far too modest. I think that you just might be better than a pony, especially since you have been there from the start and were my star cheerleader when I had my very modest base of 1 followers (I see that you people are reading it, I don't know who you are but I'm pretty sure Shanners has not viewed my blog 100+ times by now).
I wholeheartedly believe that your blog has the ability to be much more interesting than mine and I look forward to reading it soon!
And re: Ashton and JT's quibble over who started the trucker hat trend, my understanding is that JT claimed that he had in fact been wearing them prior to Ashton (Wikipedia confirms). Either way I don't think I would brag about starting that trend.
Much love,
Allison
