I've gotten to a point where I think I need to focus more on me, my future, my dreams. I really do hope to be recognized in this world as a someone who has made a difference. Be it my art, politics, writing...whatever. But I need work on that, not so much this website or any other internet craze.

I must stress though, that this site has helped carve out my passion for the literary arts. I appreciate the support I've received here and will miss you all. Thanks so much and I hope you all do what you must to reach your dreams.

PM me if you would like to adopt my story, Not As Planned. Otherwise, it'll remain unfinished. Hope you enjoyed my work.

Peace.

happy unbirthday

I'm pretty into documentaries. One of my faves we're watching in school now. It's called American Movie and I recommend it to the world. It might seem a little dull but it's super funny. It's real stuff, so it makes it all the better. Check it out, yo. Just don't youtube it or you'll ruin it.

Also, I knnnoooowww I haven't updated DPA in forever. I'm super busy, keep your panties straight please.

2.28.09

I'm feeling quite down at the moment, I must say. My school is made up of under 500 kids. I get out later than other high schools, so I have a hard time meeting with old friends. Everyone in school lives so far away, even classmates have some difficulty getting together. It makes it past the point of impossible when you have an overprotective parents like my own. Yeah, so my social life sucks ass.

I'm trying to focus on finding out about colleges, community service, learning more Spanish (I know barely the basics) and just... focusing. I'm a social person. Anyone who knows me knows that all too well. I know that it will pick up again, my social life. But drowning myself in nothing won't help, duhh.. So hell, I'll just make the most of my time and make sure it's the farthest thing from a regret.

2.16.09, again.

I just read this story, Orexis, by Caffeine Luc. It is on the subject of anorexia (I swear I just retyped the word eight times. I'm confused.) It is so right on the target and is written by a person who herself has struggled with an eating disorder. I know a good number of people out there are considering taking similar drastic measures to lose weight. I'm one of them. But this story really, really, really made a difference in my book and it's deserving of some more views. Please read it, it's sasunaru, but very light. I strongly encourage you to check it out, at least.

2/16/09

Last night I was browsing the web when suddenly an ad caught my eye: FREE SHIPPING, PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND! Yeah, I'm not some shopaholic or anything, but like most people, it's a fun thing for me. I got this American Eagle gift card for the holidays (It's so much easier to say that instead of "I'm Jewish (not really, I'm Atheist, but I don't tell family) but I got this for X-mas" story.) I have this policy where I will refuse with all my heart to wear anything with a huge brand name on it.

More specifically, if it's overpriced clothing that truly is absolutely nothing special and promotes skimpy outfits and demotes (is that a word?) individual style -cough cough A&F, Hollister- I will not wear it. It disgusts me.

And NO! I'm not just against it because I can't fit into the clothes or I don't have a well-rounded social status. I've been told a good number of times that must be the reason I'm against it. You couldn't be much more wrong. But, I'm not posting this to give you the details of aaaalllll of my life. Just last night about the ad.

So I have the card I didn't plan on using and BAM! free shipping! So I go onto the website, I have fifty bucks, I pick out this super bright neon green pencil skirt, realize it won't work with my butt, internally debate the matter, pick a cool oversized blouse, find my old navy giftcard, pick out an identical belt to one I found at AE for ten bucks less, order that and a cool long skirt (i dont have long skirts and this one was soooo cuuttteee) theeeeeeennn!! THEN I realize my dad hates when I order online, so I call my mom. She's out of state for the government stuff. Yuck. She is busy, but answers somehow. I explain the whole damn story in two minutes flat, she understands and lets me send it to her. SOOOoooo I'll get it next weekend when I see her.

Yay.

Oh, the green skirt was featured in Seventeen magazine, Lime Spray is the color. The yellow skirt is the block tier one at Old Navy and the belt was a light brown, braided leather. Yummy ...And I'm going vegetarian again! WOOT WOOT!

2.7.08

So just earlier, a few hours ago, there was a program on the History channel. One that I actually wanted to watch instead of being forced at school. Of course, it was on the subject of illegal drugs. Now, in case you didn't already know this, the History Channel is very unbiased. It states the facts and barely anything else. HELLO, HISTORY channel. Not OPINION channel! But I digress...

I was watching a special on marijuana. Check it out on their website. Anywho, it said multiple times how it has no addictive qualities and isn't connected to violence in any way. I would elaborate on the entire thing, but seriously, I want you to see it for yourself. You should learn about the origins of the laws and propoganda. A lot of what they say about weed or what they did was a lie. Learn your facts before you preach it. Michael Phelps lost his endorsement from Kellogs.. I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE NOW BECAUSE HE'S AN IDIOT! ...Go figure. He deserves it, but he shouldn't be hated. Just, y'know, in trouble for violating rules. Even though marijuana isn't a performance enhancing drug.

Also, uhm, I just saw Slumdog Millionaire. Absolutely stunning. It was beautiful and eye-opening. I truly advise, no. DEMAND that you see it. You won't regret it. It's based off the book Q&A btw. GO SEE IT.

1_23_09

I will never forget the 20th. I had chills running down my spine as I watched Obama take his oath and then give his motivating speech. He spoke of nothing but the truth, telling America of the hardships we must endure. That we must suck it up, the pampered life unable to play a role in our antidote for disaster.

I'm so proud of the American people. Not just because Obama won, that's barely it. The fact that politics seem more in reach, as well as the American Dream. We're rising once again. Together.

1.18.09!

Two days till Obama's in office!! Just got back from my Disney Cruise last week. Kinda sucked, the teen program. Hot Canadian guys, so it wasn't all that bad. Congrats to .BloodyyVengeance. who scored a free one-shot by guessing the song Naruto was singing like a moron to in DPA, chapter 12. Seven minutes after I updated, too. First review! I just discovered the most amazing thing this morning: warm Cheerios. I put a cup of them in the microwave for about 30 seconds and BAM! SO DELICIOUS YUMMY IN MAH TUMMY! Miami has cold winter, too, y'know! IT's like, 66 degrees!! I'm cold! ...Stop laughing, damn Northerners...

12..23..08

So... I'm sick. Super sick. Sick Supreme. Sickamundo. Sickity Sick Sickaroo. I'm... attempting to work on DPA (Don't Plan Ahead), and, yes. A page possibly has been typed so far. I'm leaving for my Disney Cruise on the third of January, so I'm kinda happy I'm sick now rather than then. Hey, I've never used "then" and "than" right after each other before..

Uh, so, you might've been thinking, isn't it dangerous to post a specific date and location of yourself?? Why, yes, yes it is. But! You can no longer reserve a room or anything, so try me. AND! I'm gonna be with a few Navy officers, government employees, blah blah... I win.

Oh, and the Twilight movie? Yeah, I think.. I think it was only good if you read the book. It played it out exactly like Twilight, but I think that's bad. I felt half the movie was awkward silence. I forget, it's Jasper who's with Alice, right? Well, he made me laugh everytime I saw him. Ohmigod, his pained face made me crack up. I was in the back with my friends, a few of the idiots uhm, taking part in some Sasuke-like activities (DPA reference!) since they couldn't care less about the movie, they just wanted to get out of the house. But I digress. So there was this group of 12 year-old girls in the front, about 15. Every fricking time a new character would appear or when Edward would utter even a SOUND, they screamed. I understand if you're super excited about the movie and make unneccessary noise. I do that all the time. But this was too much. So, my Sasuke-like friends and I came up with the perfect solution: a popcorn and potato chip ambush. It's how high schoolers should always solve their problems in my opinion.

TWILIGHT PREMIERES SOON!! OMG!

Who's gonna go see it? ME!

--.--.--.--.--.--MICHAEL PHELPS WINS EIGHTH GOLD MEDAL!--.--.--.--.--.--

--.--.--.--Yeah, he's awesome. Phelps power, baby.--.--.--.--

Did you know he eats 12,000 calories a day? He burns 4,000 calories a workout, swims about five miles a day.

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."

"I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team."

"I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible."

"When the Australians walked out, the crowd went nuts, and when we walked out, the crowd went even more nuts. I can't describe how amazing that was. Three thousand people were here rooting for the two strongest swimming nations. I'll never forget that, and I was glad to be part of it."

All quotes by Michael Phelps.

Congrats, Michael. You did it.

Olympics 2008. I'm rooting for the United States of America, no questions. But no matter who wins, we have to remember what it means to hold such an event. This is the joining of the countries of the World, all of us together, no matter what. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, religious beliefs, political views, none of it. So if the US loses in an area, I'll still be cheering. Go World.

I have come to a decision. I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I am an American. I am a woman with views both conservative and liberal. I am declaring this day, September 11, 2008 the day of my decision. I will be the President of The United States of America once I am of age.

Well, okay, maybe, maybe not. But I do pledge to make a difference, to be heard. I will stand for womens' rights and their choice of an abortion. I will stand for equality amongst all. I will fight for the seperation of church and state. I will fight for gay rights, all of our personal, independent rights. I will fight for animal rights, for human rights, for the right to choose.

Choices. Choices are a gift, a gift we take for granted. Choose wisely, don't regret. Choose to choose.

I will stand for peace, for compromises, for understanding. For diversity, for us.

The World.

I don't think we need to wait for a president or a representative to make a difference. You can make a difference just by learning, understanding. I have been raised under the Jewish religion, but I consider myself quite religionless. I believe in more science than a God, because many things have been explained by science that were thought to be the work of God.

For instance, Moses parting the Red Sea. They might've been referring to the Reed Sea, which has low tide that goes to the ground and high tide up to 5 or so feet. Rain brings in soil and turns the water red. Red like blood, which Moses supposedly made happen by God's will. I'm not saying that's the truth, but hey. Seriously, we shouldn't put every ounce of our faith in one thing, you know? Open mindedness is how we succeed, learn, grow.

But I digress. Even though I am a Jew, I am going to attend my school's Bible club. I want to learn and understand. I want to help relate, communicate, corroborate, unite. Us having very different ideas and beliefs is amazing to me. It's so unbelievable, actually. I want to know more, to know about us.

And so should you. So the next time you hear an idea you oppose or really dislike, don't immediately dismiss it or turn away. Ask. Why. Why do you think that? What is your reasoning?

Question everything. From your own beliefs, to your parents', to your friends', to your ancestors. All of our ancestors. We have the right to know. Exercise that right.

11.12.08 Okay, I updated today for Don't Plan Ahead. It seems to me that you guys really are into it. I'm starting to think about my next project.. I really don't know what to do. Haha, and the title to this one is totally contradicting with my strategy now. Man, I'm just too funny sometimes. Haha. HA.

9.11.08 I just typed out the whole speech thing above. I really do want to learn about everything. I live to be heard. I think we all do, most of us are just too afraid to voice ourselves, to be judged. I am too. But that won't stop me. If you think you should be heard, PM me. Tell me about your beliefs, your political views, what you think is right and wrong. Anything on gay rights, abortion, slavery, race, money, legal ages, sexism, food, global warming.. Anything. I truly, deeply want to hear. Please don't fear your own power. Use it.

9.5.08 So, uh, Hurricane Ike is headed toward me, it seems. My home is right near the beach and could flood to the roof. Yeah, not good. I'm sorta kinda not really maybe freaking out and what have you at the moment. Uhm. And I have homework. Hard homework. And that's fighting for my attention. I know, pathetic. Sigh. Pray for me, please. I'm about to crap myself.. Time to find that jar of peanut butter and chocolate syrup..

8.31.08 In honor of the last day of August (not really), I posted a new one-shot titled A funeral for the flowers. It's sasusaku, but it doesn't state them specifically. It's about couples who are in their final year of grade school and not being ready to face the unwritten future. Will they be able to stay together through college, despite the distance? Would their past be nothing but a faint memory of good times? It represents a feeling we all face, whether it involves a romantic relationship or just a friendship. Changing schools, moving, being put in a new situation that you really can't prepare for. The ending is that of a positive one, one with hope that I think we all should reach for no matter what.

8.17.08 On to fanfiction-related news, I've posted the sequel to Not As Planned. Ohmigod, sorry, I can't stop thinking about Michael Phelps!! Agh!! Okay, okay. I'm good. So anyways, yes. It's up. Don't Plan Ahead is the title. I am going to post the second chapter Friday, August 22 to kick off the first back-to-school weekend. Well, at least for the Southeast coast. I don't know about the rest of you guys.

Check my poll out, relating to the fic.

Okay, a little while ago I published my latest one-shot Sympathy For A Sadist.It came from a dream I had repeatedly for a week or so. It would be from this lady's perspective, not my own. And, she'd be in this wide alley with barrels flaming everywhere and a man amongst them. She would slowly approach him, very afraid. He was her boyfriend or something. As she got closer, it was no surprise (unfortunately) that he was crouched down with a sick grin on his face. He was right in front of a dead man, or rather, the remains of a dead man. Totally gorey, torn apart, dissected..Yeah. She'd cry and cry, still loving him despite his extreme insanity.. Then, she'd run and hug him and he'd pull out a knife, posing to stab her back. And.. I'd wake up. Yeah. It wasn't exactly scary, but beautiful in a strange way. That she'd still love him despite everything he'd done and is. Oh, and after I typed it up (like, not even a half hour I think) the dreams stopped. I kinda miss 'em, but I'm happy to get a good sleep now. Even if it is just 4 or 5 hours.

omfg!! i got breaking dawn!! the release party ROCKED and i met a reporter from forks!! she was ssoooo ccooolll!! she had short, slicked back hair, long, dark trench coat and pale skin with eyeliner. total vampire look. so cool.
i met a lot of new people at the release party at barnes and noble. i got home at 12.30 and didnt go to bed till 7am. im done! the ending cudda been better, but i still loved it

I'm a Starbucks member, bitch! YEAH! Just kidding. Well, about the 'bitch' part. You're a whore! Just kidding again. Okay, yeah, I admit to loving Starbucks. I plan on becoming their CEO after college.

Marilyn Monroe was amazing, as was Heathe Ledger. Speaking of Heathe (may he rest in peace), the Batman movie was freaking awesome, I command you all to see it. Now.

Okay, here's the deal: I'm a week away from finishing the art summer program at my new high school, so that's cool. I'm going to a release party at a Barnes and Noble book store August 1st and entered a poster contest in hopes of winning it for free. Aaaannnnddd I got rid of my lice. It's all good.

8.07.08: Okay, so now I'm working on the sequel to Not As Planned. The title is Don't Plan Ahead.

My personal stats:

Name: Alli

Gender: Cupcake?

Location: Miami, baby!

Age: Uh, somewhere in the high school range like pretty much everyone else here.

Morning Routine: 4:20a.m.- Wake up, pull on swim suit, shorts, t-shirt and sneakers (yes, with socks).

4:25a.m.- Quietly leave house through garage and stretch my legs, sides, and spine. Don't forget the ankles.

4:30a.m.- Start run. Lap around the perimeter of neighborhood once and then swivel through each street, back and forth. All while jamming to some loud music.

4:45a.m.- Go around back, slip off everything swim suit. Slather on a bunch of conditioner, pull on goggles, jump in pool, do laps.

5:00a.m.- Towel off, bring all my crud inside, shower.

5:10a.m.- Dry up, get dressed, fix makeup and hair.

5:20a.m.- Eat breakfast. Usually a bowl of Fruit Loops or Frosted Flakes. I went to Costco and got the gigantic box with 58 cups of the stuff in it! Heaven.. I grab an apple or a cup-worth of fruit and stuff it in my bag.

5:30a.m.- One last run around the house to check for homework, useless but necessary crap I carry at all times, and my lovely cell phone. Oh, and to check myself over for a smudge or something. I brush my teeth and head out the door.

5:35a.m.- I'm singin' a tune, loud enough for neighbors to hear as I walk to my bus stop. If I have to get up early, so does everyone else! Hmph!

5:40a.m.- I have crossed the bridge and five blocks, finally at my bus stop. I write a sticky note, slap it on the stop sign and wait for the bus. The note is for the middle schoolers who use the same stop at like, 7:30 or 8. It's entertaining for me.

5:45a.m.-6:15a.m.- Bus arrives, I hop on. Find a seat, do last minute homework/studying or think about hotties, my wedding to Michael Phelps, or, what the hell did I forget to bring with me today. I eat whatever fruit I stuffed in my bag, make sure I brought my lunch, too.. Sigh.

7:40a.m.- School starts. Morning routine complete.

Bad Habits: Chewing the hell outta my nails, not finishing sentences, gossiping occasionally (never stuff that will hurt someone's feelings. Just the funny crushes and stuff DUH), never doing homework, talking back when I should really just shut up.

Hobbies: Drawing (i got into an art magnet school!! woohoo!), talking, listening to music, hanging out with my bestest buddies EVER, laughing, using sarcasm, reading, scuba diving, and screaming.

Types of friends: Whoever, really. Unfortunately, I usually end up around people who uhm, really should watch some Under the Influence commercials or something..If you catch my drift. But now at my new school, I don't know many people like that, so I'm safe. Seriously, it was getting old.

Favorite books (not in order) : Twilight Series, Haters, My Sister's Keeper (so sad, but I'll remember this forever), Go Ask Alice, Seventeen Magazine (not a book, but I'm subscribed and read it religiously. I admit it..), science textbooks (come on, confess people. we all skip to the reproductive organs page.)

Favorite movies (not in order) : The Invisible, Juno (I swear she's my personality twin minus the whole teen pregnancy thing), Little Miss Sunshine (I'm in love with the brother), Tuck Everlasting (love the book and Alexis Bledel), Alice In Wonderland (total classic, but they don't sell merchandise for it in Downtown Disney!! GAH!), Princess Diaries, SuperSize Me, Ocean's 11, The Notebook (how can you not love it?), The Italian Job, Across The Universe (quietly obsessed with the Beatles..).

Music (again, not in order) : The Beatles, Death Cab for Cutie, Arctic Monkeys, The Fratellis, Bright Eyes, Colbie Caillat, Fallout Boy, Fiona Apple, Get Up Kids, Muse, HELLYEAH, Jack's Mannequin, Jimmy Eat World, Lemonheads, Matchbook Romance, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Nada Surf, Our LAdy Peace, Ok Go, Rise Against, Beastie Boys, Postal Service, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Serj Tankian, (I'm sure by now you can tell most of this I surfed my playlists in alphabetical order sorta) Slipknot, Sparta, Sublime, Tom Petty, Vampire Weekend, and White Stripes.

That would have been so much longer, but I got bored..

Addictions: Coffee (addicted.. I'll never grow past 5 foot 3 inches..) Teavana tea, Ice Breakers Energy with caffeine, sappy love stories/movies, cinnamon flavored whatever, painting my toes weird colors, Seventeen magazine, Burt's Bees lip balm, Bath & Body Works stuff and books.

Classes I'll be taking this year: Okay, if you've read this far, I'll tell you I'm gonna be a freshman in high school in 2008/09. I'll be taking Chemistry, Algebra 2 (geometry was easy, but I can't remember any algebra!!), English (Language arts, I speak perfect English.), art classes (I'm going to an art magnet school.), aannnddd.. World History. All my classes are Honors/Gifted.

Future career goals/possibilities: President/ World Dictator, coffee shop owner (will overpower Starbucks), tattoo artist, author, secret agent.

My type of lovey dovey cuddly person: Usually band geeks. Not ugly or something, just not the jock stereotypes. I like my guy to be able to have a conversation with me about something like a book or you know, something that requires an IQ. But I usually prefer talking about how gross our teachers look in bathing suits. Skater guys are super hot and fun. Emo guys are simply just nice to drool over in your mind. I've learned that most of them are just drama queens that are on the same level as gossiping preps who do stupid things for attention..

Favorite stores: Urban Outfitters, Target, CVS/ Walgreens (cheap makeup and such), Macy's, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Hot Topic (not really, though. Too pricey for things that don't last. I stick to the clearance rack.), NOT Abercrombie and Fitch. Hate it. Hate it.

ThAnKs FoR rEaDiNg!

Alrightie, here we are! My little profile page that u happened to stumble upon for whatever reason you have. I guess this is where I tell about my stories, right? Okay, then.

I've finally just thrown in the towel, people. I have officially discontinued Penny In The Gutter. Sorry to those who somehow enjoyed it.

Okay, also, I've noticed that in a few stories the main guy is a smoker, but is portrayed as a total bad-ass hottie. Well... I'm totally okay with that, but there are some younger readers and I don't want them to somehow get into drugs just because some of us decide to write about it.

So to make my reasoning clear, I wrote a short one-shot His World to hopefully create an understanding amongst the readers. Please review so I know people are getting it, thank you.

Anyone wanna chat? I'm very talkative, so PM me if you're bored

Happy unbirthday

--frumpyrox

Frumpy says hi!

Oh! I don't feel like talking about myself anymore, but what about Frumpy?

So, Frumpy is my little friend. He's a small grey donkey with a big white snout, no mouth, cute coal black eyes, long floppy ears and stubby paws (that should be hooves, but don't tell him!!)

I got him as a joke for my birthday. Not really a joke, but, you know, just a cute gift. I played along with it, but then after awhile, he really did look adorable.

Uhmmm... Frumpy is about 9 inches tall, 4 inches wide. (He's insecure about his weight, so I can't tell you, sorry.)

When he grows up, he wants to work part-time in my future coffee shop.

Right now, he's single. (The teddy bear princess was too high-maintenance for him.)
