I am here for Friends

About Me

HI! I'm Allyssa. Nice to meet you. Most importantly & first and foremost, I am a mother. Then, as most women are labeled, I am a sister, a daughter, and a friend. My passion in life has always been to write. I was married for 14 years. I grew up in Liberal KS, living there for 18 years of my life. I was divorced for about 4 years. I have 3 children, a little girl who is 7,Emily Elisabeth, and two boys who are 17 and 18. My little girls' secret wish is to grow up to be president, but she told me this week as I was driving her in the car that she wanted to be a veteranarian & an artist & she was having a hard time deciding. I told her she could be both, but she said she couldn't draw dogs very good. Ha. She's so funny. She is in gymnastics.She is very smart and she definately has this mom's heart. My youngest son, Samuel Elijah Jacob, is very talented artistically. He can draw brilliantly and his imagination leaves me in awe. He is very into the Emo Gothic type look and the whole vampire scene. He likes Anieme. He reads alot and is into alot of music and is right now teaching himself how to play the guitar. I would describe my youngest son as very ecclectic and eccentric, kind, and just a wonderful human being. He is my opposite as far as looks, with blond hair and blue eyes, and both my sons are way taller then me. My oldest son, Levi Joseph, is very involved in music and has a band and just played their fifth gig. In Levi's band,We Came On Sunken Ships, he plays the lead guitar, but he is a back up singer, and very good at playing the drums, as well. Levi is intelligent and the kind of guy that everyone wants to be around. He has alot of friends and is always on the go. Levi lives with me full-time. Levi is working on getting his diploma or equivalent by the end of this month and he has diligently been looking for a job and trying to quit smoking. I am very proud of him. I am very proud of my children and love them very much.I recently moved to a very original house that has no square walls and no white walls. I love it. I have 3 boy cats, sef, nireh, and mumble, and a very annoying girl cat, delanie. I have a girl rosella bird, Sparky. I write poetry and short stories, fiction and non- fiction. I have written all my life, although I don't write at the pace now that I used to. I am Aquarius, that's a fixed sign... I am a bit on the reclusive side, a bit introverted. I am a Christian and a Democrat, left handed and right brained. I do love Colorado. To read all entries I have blogged, you would have to enter older instead of newer and enter the date Sunday August 19th, 2007. That is when I started blogging my poetry, my favorite poets, favorite quotes, and pieces I have written in my lifetime. I hope you enjoy if you have the time. Allyssa
