Something Inconspicuous

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...

 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 ...

 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...

 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...

 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...

 I’m away from home for the next few days and I didn’t feel like bringing my laptop to write an entry so I’m writing on my phone. That being said, please forgive me if this entry is a little too long or shorter than what I normally post. I’m not a big fan of typing using my phone, it feels far less personal than typing on a laptop for some reason. Anyways, last post I was talking about leaving the fate of my hair in the hands of the haircut gods. That being said, I am pleased to announce that I did indeed get a haircut two days ago. I ended up cutting it just above my shoulders and getting some side bangs. I showed up to work yesterday with my new look and all my co-workers were gassing me up so much I legit got shy. I don’t know what to do when someone complements or thanks me. I usually just laugh and hide my face.  The topic for today’s entry is a little strange but I guess all my topics are strange when you really think about it. Today I wanted to talk about a realization ...

This has probably been one of the longest and most eventful weeks of my life. I'm talking TV show season finale kinda crazy, like I swear someone must have written the script cuz it's just too much to be real. However, personal matters involving others do not belong on a public blog so I won't linger on the subject for too long. Just know that I have had so many longgggggg car talks while sipping on slushies and ice coffees. It's gotten to the point that I don't even feel like talking. That's right, me Abby the talker does not feel like talking. However, my ice coffee addiction remains strong. In fact I'm sipping one right now as I type.  Moving on to more important matters, I may or may not get a haircut this Tuesday. I haven't booked an appointment yet so I'm just gonna call the day of to see if there is a spot available. If there isn't then I guess it wasn't meant to be. I shall leave my fate in the hands of the haircut gods. If I do manag...

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

 It's been a minute since my last post so let me catch you up to speed. I'm still holding strong to my no social media rule and I only miss it when I'm hanging out with friends and they are all browsing on Instagram. Other than that, I'm doing good. My sister let's me borrow her phone to check up on the England national football team every now and then. Don't judge me! Euro's are this Friday and the England team looks very different from the last Euro Cup. No Rashford, Maguire, or Henderson. To be honest, I don't think we really need them but I'm not a big fan of change so it's a little unsettling. I really should be going to bed instead of writing this entry. I'm on the first paragraph but I've literally yawned at least four times already. I stayed up late last night watching anime and playing Stardew Valley, one of the best RPG's known to man. Essentially it's a farming game, you inherit your grandfather's run down farm and ...

I literally just finished watching "The Emperor's New Groove" and it got me thinking about things I was saying in my previous entries about not giving up on others and recognizing that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving. It sounds stupid but this movie actually highlights both those points perfectly. Pacha refuses to give up on Kuzco even though he is so incredibly conceded and selfish. He rescues Kuzco from the jungle knowing that Kuzco has the intent of stealing his home so he can build himself a pool. Pacha even fights Yzma so Kuzco can change back into a human even though it's ultimately none of his business. This leads Kuzco to have a change of heart, highlighting this concept that there is good inside of everybody. So many people would've given up on Kuzco after what he put Pacha through but Pacha sticks it out til the very end and as a result, Kuzco changes for the good. So how can we justify giving up on people if there is always a chance ...
