About: 
allie. 25. north carolina.

i blog about my city, food, pop culture, art, politics (i'm liberal. libertarians can leave now), anxiety, spirituality, and my body. i have been called weird, a nerd, and a hipster. i am not a hipster (sincerity trumps being cool, and i am definitely a sincere nerd).


i like art, taking pictures of my food and my feet, music, sunshine, creating, reading, exploring, adventures, dancing, gastronomy, yoga, friendship, new boot goofin', yacht rock, pop culture, being ridiculous, zombies, bad horror films, the internet, being fabulous, being snarky, soup spoons, being nerdy, and drinking wine + champagne + gin.


tv shows: mad men, buffy the vampire slayer, angel, my so-called life, happy endings, how i met your mother (ted mosby is a douchebag), parks and rec, and community.

favorite bands: creedence clearwater revival, hall and oates, iron and wine, stevie wonder, marvin gaye, queen, electric light orchestra, fiona apple, michael jackson, hammer no more the fingers and the doobie brothers.

leslie knope is my spirit animal.

in real life i am a photographer.

quarter life.

i turned 25 on thursday.

the bad:

  • trip to the dmv (on the bright side, i aced the sign test and had a nice evaluator).
  • my doctor called with some unhappy blood test results. going to see a specialist, yadda yadda.  
  • a massage that was great at first but made me like i’d been punched all over after. (thanks, autoimmune disorders!).
  • my mom crying about my health issues.

the good:

  • I DON’T HAVE CELIAC DISEASE AND I CAN EAT ALL THE BREAD I WANT. important.
  • dinner at toast. lentil soup + crostini + pinot grigio. favorite restaurant in durham, hands down. i love bringing new people there.
  • beers at fullsteam. chatham county paw paw belgian ale, cream ale, and working man’s lunch. impressions, accents, pictures, and an incredible chocolate cake by akiva.
  • one drink at motorco (reunited with my ex-boyfriend, tom collins. i love gin.). 90s alternative rock. yelling pop culture references. bringing my friend circles closer together. i’m glad i let go of so many acquaintances. i have kick ass friends.
  • sushi lunch on friday, courtesy of my littlest sister.
  • i asked a friend for mentorship, and got it.

and photos:

working man’s lunch and chocolate cake, a match made in heaven.

a staring contest with tomwithnoh.

a normal picture.



there’s discontent bubbling beneath the surface, but i think i’ll handle it well this year.
