Blog Envy

So, I know I don't have to look at every blog out there.  But I really enjoy looking at them.  I just get so annoyed with all these blogs showing these picture perfect lives, with staged photos of everything from "what I'm wearing" to "this is what I whipped up for dinner last night".  I mean, come on!  I get it, these blogs are for people to get inspiration and so forth, but it is a little frustrating to see nothing but perfection.  Wouldn't it be enlightening to see a not-so-perfect life on your computer screen?  Like, if Liz Lemon wrote a blog.

Maybe I'm onto something...

Here we go!

Hello!  My name is Allison, and I'm in the middle of an existential not quite mid life crisis (sort of).  A bit of background for you:  I just recently moved to New York City and am still trying to find my footing, in short.  The long of it is that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing with my life.  I've got two college degrees, a (fantastic) boyfriend, two cats and a dog, yet I feel like I have nothing that I'm truly proud of.  Maybe its societal pressure, maybe its familial pressure, or perhaps its all made up and I just think there is something missing.  What I do know is that one month before my 30th birthday I feel like I have miles and miles to go.  This blog is more or less acting as a journal for me (since I always seem to lose my journals), while I go through this process of finding that something that I am looking for.  I hope this will be a forum for me to experiment with ideas, find a calling, collect my thoughts, vent about everyday frustrations, etc etc.  Above all else, I just want a place all to myself that I can ramble on about whatever I want to, and maybe someone will see it and say, "hey, me too!"  For now, its just me, some wine, and my thoughts...
