“you’ve got to see this video. it’s not wishy-washy - it’s got...”
– my mom.
woot woot
i didn’t know, and then i did it, and it was awesome.
problem solved!
goodnight.
you never know
until you do it and find out.
i have social anxiety
and i can’t really determine if it’s because i seriously have social anxiety, or if i am just a wimp and am oftentimes insecure. and by insecure, i guess i just mean not being as cool as i want to be. i think i’m a pretty alright person. but sometimes…i just want to be fucking cool.
ditto
allisonweiss:
Tell me about some cool venues in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver please!!
ditto, please!
and another week flies by
alright, i know it’s not over yet, but it will be in a few short hours.
i got a lot done this week, but i never feel like it’s enough.
tumblr is awesome. but i do not know what i did with all the extra time i had before i became addicted. it’s true. tumblr is now the first site i check in the morning (after my email). is that weird?
today, we worked on what i have dubbed...
i've got me a heavy heart
“Allison, I’ll try not to geek out on how cool I think you are when I meet you...”
– Lauren Zettler
I think we should make the decision right here and right now to just treat each other as idols rather than peers from here on out. Like, when we’re playing that show together in NYC on March 11th at Sidewalk Cafe, we should just scream during each other’s sets and sing all the words....
First impressions and my regrets
allisonweiss:
I once sent a letter and CD to a musician I really respect. Said musician emailed me later to say that they’d listened to the CD and really enjoyed it, and they gave me words of encouragement which I will treasure always.
I don’t have a lot of regrets, but I regret my response. The email I sent back was really lame. I went all numberonefan on this person, when I should have...
oh to be in 7th grade again. er, i take that...
iLife 09
worth it? arg.
note to self
eating a pickle and then deciding to have a bite of chocolate for dessert does not = tasty.
woohoo it's 5am!
and i’m actually awake. it’s kind of a miracle (for someone who usually doesn’t crawl out of bed until 10am).
i can hear my roommate in his room, which probably means that he just got home.
i’m preparing myself for a long day….this week is super packed. which i why i haven’t been tumbling so much. this pattern will continue until saturday i think.
parlor guitars
i really want a parlor-sized guitar. in my dreams, it would be a vintage martin. but my pockets are not quite that deep.
anyone have one or had one that they would recommend?
i currently play a Taylor 7-14 ce. i just want something a little smaller that i can travel easily with. but it still needs to sound real nice.
all i've done today is eat food and make a video...
i had much loftier goals. there’s still time to turn it around, i suppose.
Watchcover of sarah siskind’s “lovin’s for fools” (also covered by bon iver). i’ve had this sitting around for a while and was reminded of it when someone else posted bon iver’s version on their tumblr! it is such a pretty song.
“The thing is, I really like saying yes. I like new things, projects, plans,...”
– Dave Eggers. (via meaghano) (via bryonmcdonald)
I changed the original quote posted, but wanted to give credit to the person who posted the link to the whole rant here.
Saying Yes more was a 2009 resolution. Thanks for reminding me, Dave.

i kind of want a nose ring.
just a really really tiny one.
i just wrote a song
but it sounds really familiar to me. and sometimes that’s an awesome thing because it just means it sounds really true to you. but sometimes it’s not awesome because you just ripped someone else off. tbd….
hahahahah
i’m laughing at myself because i just saw the hannah montana movie trailer and it kept me interested the whole time. i think i even thought “hm, this doesn’t look that bad” once or twice.
time to turn off the television.
things are good
i’ve been pretty sick the past few days, which means i’ve been laying in bed doing nothing. this usually makes me feel pretty shitty/depressed. so i need to remind myself that things are really awesome right now.
i had a pretty kick-ass meeting on Sunday, which should only lead to good things. i’ve got things under control for my new EP. i’ve got some shows lined up. ...
i don't watch LOST
and i’m really happy about it.
am i going to lose followers for that?
nothing against it….it’s actually BECAUSE i’d probably really like it. i battle with tv enough as it is. i’m “trying” to give it up all together.
but that’s not working out too well. top chef is on tonight and somebody hooks up with somebody else. <gasp>
Can we please have an NYC Tumblr meetup during the...

How about March 11th at the Sidewalk Cafe? Ave. A and 7th St. Like, at around 8pm?
:)
Yay for Amie Street!

Just teamed up with them to get all Hype Machine users 50% off on the top 3 records out today by A.C. Newman: http://bit.ly/3xeftB, Animal Collective: http://bit.ly/qwxA & Andrew Bird: http://bit.ly/4uPXzb
awesomeness.
remind me to never google my symptoms
sore throat + nausea is probably nothing. looking it up on the internet will only scare you.
Affordable health insurance for musicians would be a really AWESOME thing.
