Reveal

No Awkward & Awesome Thursday this week...between starting classes (my final semester), my brother's house getting robbed, and being rear-ended by another car, my week has been pretty blah.

Nevertheless, it's time to reveal the answers to my link-up.
1. I once spit in someone's food. TRUE. In my defense, he completely deserved it.
2. I once keyed an ex-boyfriend's car. LIE. Although, I can't say I never thought about it... When it came down to it, I just never had the balls to go through with it. 
3. My frist drink was at the age of 21. TRUE.

Thanks to everyone who participated--it was a blast!
I'm going to leave the link up until Saturday, so feel free to link-up (if you haven't already). 


Until next time,

Two Truths & a Lie Link-Up


I'm going to give you a list of three things, your job (if you choose to play) is to pick out which one of these items is a lie.  Leave a comment with your guess!

1.  I once spit in someone's food.

2.  I once keyed an ex boyfriend's car.

3.  My first drink was at the age of 21.

(I realize that these choices make me sound slightly psychotic; I could have picked safe, non-psychotic choices, but where's the fun in that?)

After you guess which one of mine is a lie, head on over to these lovely blogs and take a stab at theirs!
Don't forget to link-up!

Hey y'all, it's a Southern thang...

I've often been told that I have the biggest accent ever.  As you saw from my accent vlog, it's not THAT bad; it really only shows in certain words (like y'all & my/mine). 

 At work, we have people calling from ALL OVER the world, with many different languages and accents, so I often find myself wondering if people are judging me for my "hickish" accent. 

Oh well, my accent makes me who I am...
even that is a Southern hick. haha


Furthermore, WHY do people still pronounce my name wrong when I answer the phone "______ Publishing, this is Alana."??  I will admit, I usually cut off the first "A" and say Lana, but that's not the point--these people STILL call me "Alaina" after I JUST said my name to them. Maybe they should follow my lead and just not say names if they don't know how to pronounce them/don't remember them (which is usually the case, let's be real here). 


On another note, don't forget about our link-up on Tuesday!! I'm still working on my two truths and lie, trying to come up with some stuff that y'all will never guess.
