All this pretense is just very confusing to me. I'm not sure if I'm impressed with Alison for knowing how to be so pretentious, or if I'm afraid because she secretly is a superficial wannabe Leona Helmsley in the making.

Loved this Alison. Enjoyed talking Myers Briggs types with you as well! From one ENFP to a former ENFP! Actually I find acronymns pretentious as well. Cheers!
