Hi, I’m Allie. I'm a 20-something something. echodrift is my blog for me to talk about whatever I want to. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.
I guess I hit a bit of a blogging slump. I’ve had no flashes of inspiration for anything to write about other than things that I don’t want to post publicly. Since I haven’t been sitting around twiddling my thumbs, what have I been doing?
Let me start by saying that I have pretty high respect for retail and fast food workers. During high school and college I worked in both industries, primarily as a cashier. Customers can be irritable and highly irrational at times. There are instances, though, where their anger is justifiable. Such was the case at Walmart last night.
Since I’ve started making frequent trips to the library I’ve learned something. Actually, I noticed this the very first day I went. I would expect to find non-fiction ordered according to the Dewey Decimal System and for non-fiction books to be listed by author, possibly with paperbacks off in their own section. They would still be sorted by author, though. I haven’t checked the non-fiction section yet for myself but I suppose that’s how they are indeed ordered by the Dewey Decimal System. The fiction section is another matter.
I don’t think I have ever been more ready for winter to be over. I don’t know why it has hit me this year but every day seems so dreary and gray. When the weather is bad it looks the same when I come in to work the next morning as it did when I left the evening before: cold, overcast, windy, and dark. However, cold, dark evenings make for some of the best times to curl up inside with a blanket and a good book to read.
Ever since I put the new theme up I had intended to write about my New Year’s “resolutions.” That’s a little ironic because one of my “resolutions” was to not procrastinate so much about writing. The thing is, some people seem to hope that by writing down all of their goals for the upcoming year that they will automatically turn into revolutions.
