A Curly-Headed Coca-Cola Enthusiast (entry no.32)

I'm watching the Olympics with my dad in the living room as I write this entry. We're currently watching a women's basketball game, it's Canada vs France and Canada is currently being obliterated. I've never really been into the Olympics but I'll watch a couple of the events here and there. Personally, I have always preferred the winter Olympics, specifically figure skating. I grew up watching Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir dominate in Ice Dancing from 2010 to 2018 at the Olympics. I'll never forget their beautiful dance to Stay by Rihanna, the chemistry between those two skaters is unmatched. I was so convinced that I was going to skate exactly like them when I was little. 10 year old Abby would be thoroughly disappointed in me if she found out that we grew up to become someone who can neither skate nor dance. It's funny when you think about it, I love music but I can't dance and I love the winter but can't play any of the sports associated with it...

A Strawberry in the Rain (entry no.31)

 I have been up since 6:30, I am running on a solid 5 hours of sleep and it is currently a quarter to midnight. I most definitely should be sleeping but what can ya do when you love to write as much as I do. The last few posts have very much centered around soccer, specifically England's journey throughout the Euro's. However, now that they are over I find myself preparing for the Primer League season to start up again. Arsenal recently released their new away kit for the season, they are black, red, and green. I definitely like them better than last year's away kit but it's honestly nothing to gush over. However, do you know what is worth gushing over? "POR QUE SERA" by Grupo Frontera and Maluma. Oh. My. Goodness. It is such a good song, perfect summer heartbreak vibes and instantly iconic.  Speaking of music, whoever was playing music over the speakers at work today was killing it. I swear I thought someone had taken my playlist or something. We went from ...

It didn't come home (entry no.30)

 Nearly two weeks later and I am back! I took an unintentional break from my entries simply because I wasn't really in the mood to write. For once I decided not to force myself into doing something I didn't want to do. That being said, I actually had to re-read the last entry I posted since I had no idea what I last wrote about. Now I remember talking about the England vs Switzerland game which at the time had not happen yet. I watched the first half with a friend of mine at a sports bar and it was pretty uneventful, it ended 0-0. Then it went 1-0 for Switzerland in the second half but my guy Bukayo didn't let things stay that way for too long. It was then 1-1 all the way until the end of extra time meaning that we were in for a penalty showdown. England is notorious for losing in shootouts so I was supppppeeeeerrr nervous. I was especially nervous for Bukayo given what happened to him in the last Euro's penalties. I recorded my reactions to each penalty for my sister a...

Can they go all the way? (entry no.29)

 Bruh, I thought it had been ages since I last wrote an entry but I now see that it's literally only been three days. That being said, because I thought I hadn't written an entry in a while, I was going to write one last night but I was way to tired to write more than a couple sentences. I ended up deleting that little entry because I refuse to write these in more than one sitting session. The Abby who wrote last night is different from the Abby today and has different things on her mind so the entry would be incohesive if it was written in two sessions. For example, today I am thinking about getting my hair trimmed in a month or so. I want it a little shorter with some layers. Maybe I'll get it done at the end of the month, what can I say I'm a sucker for short hair.  Today I had to walk to work, it takes me about 30 minutes and I genuinely don't mind the walk since I have my comfy Bluetooth headphones and awesome playlists to accompany me. However, it does leave m...

Cuz after all these years (entry no.28)

 It's almost 1 am, I don't feel like going to bed and to be honest I don't really feel like writing an entry but here I am anyways. I worked an 8 hour shift today, chilled for a little bit when I got home and then proceeded to pass out on the couch for nearly 3 hours. I was exhausted, I didn't sleep too well last night and got up early for work after an extremely busy weekend. Not the greatest combination but I digress. Anyways, since I don't really have anything I want to talk about in particular, I guess this will be another music entry. This one will be dedicated to Camila Cabello. I've been listening to her since her first album as a soloist. Needless to say I have seen her grow and change so much throughout the years. I know nobody asked, but I wanna talk about one of my favorite songs from her. My number 1 song will ALWAYS be "All These Years", it was literally love at first listen. Ever since I found it over 5 years ago it has always been one of...
