Never play with a girl who can play 100x better.

*Obviously written on the 29th of December, things have changed. I'm only posting this for everyone to hear the happiness in my written voice.*


As i sat here waiting for some distraction from my every growing english projects, i finally realized that in twoish days it'll be 2010. i'd like to know where it all went by. I've gotta say, 2009 was my best year so far. new friends, my license, my car, my family, a job. everything seemed to fall into place, especially in the last six months. i finally stood up for myself and told that guy to leave me alone, i really just wanted to be friends with him. it seems as if this time last year i had my best friend d and that was really it. now, i've got d still, but andrea and jackk too, and of course not forgetting my work friends :)


working on saturday and sunday, i realized how much fun i actually have at work and how much people laugh at me for keeping them amused. take for example taylor and i. we're working in the front room, and we're having a conversation about the non-existent men in our lives. suddenly, taylor greets someone and says "hey ya'll"...or something to that extent...


*It's a shame I never finished this post, it seemed to have great potential.*

philosophy: you took the right road and ended up in the wrong place. begin again. you reached the top of a mountain only to find yourself at the bottom of a new one. begin again. you dotted every "i" and forgot to cross your "t's." begin again. you were at the wrong place at the wrong time and your life changed forever. begin again. you loved hard and lost big. begin again. you won the race but they gave first place to someone else. begin again. you followed your north star and ended up at the south pole. begin again.


New beginnings; old people; new promises; old promises; new love; old flames; new life; old memories.
2010; 2009.

Goodbye old me, it was nice seeing you...can't wait to meet the new me. You know, the 2010 allison.

ahh, more to come. i don't know where i'm going with this besides the idea that from now on, I'm beginning again. I'm starting over 01-01-2010.

i've felt the need to write; to express myself more than just how i look or how i've changed from the person i've been two years ago to the person i am now. i mean, i can tell you that i'm completely different from my life as a freshman to right now, how much i've grown spiritually, how much less i care what others think of me...i can ramble about that for ages and ages. that's not exactly what i'm feeling, what i want to tell you; i want to share what i've come across, what moves me, what sense of wisdom i've come across.

Ten Life Lessons I've Learned:

Life Lesson #1
Do what you want, they're gonna judge you in the end no matter what.

Life Lesson#2
Forgiveness only matters if you mean it.

Life Lesson #3
In order to stay young, one must change.

Life Lesson #4
Trust is hard to come by; give it to those who truly matter, try to gain trust from everyone

Life Lesson #5
Let it go.

Life Lesson #6
Change. Embrace it.
Life Lesson #7
You'll appreciate everything more when you pay for it; so get a job and stop taking mom and dad's money.

Life Lesson #8
Be selfish yet selfless. Find the happy medium; you can't be either one and be truly happy.

Life Lesson #9
Hope is something everyone has and cherishes; never, ever, deprive anyone of it. It might be all they have.

Life Lesson #10
Cherish the car rides with your sister/brother/family, they are more valuable then you can imagine.
