I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm alison. with one "l".

i'm seventeen. i live in a town that has more drama than cows; and, trust me, we have a lot of cows. i don't do things simply because it is expected of me-- if my heart's not in it, it's a waste of my time. my hair's always a mess. i loved grade school. from 6th grade on, it's been a downhill journey. and this year seems to be more like an avalanche.
i hate winter. i don't like being cold, and it seems that in winter all i can do is stay in bed all day. i have no energy. some days i wake up and see it's beauty, but most days i choose not to see past the ice on the window panes.
i bite my nails, but it's not a nervous habit. i don't drink or smoke. i've seen it ruin too many people these past couple of years. i love wal-mart. my laugh is obnoxious & my voice is high-pitched. noone knows what color my hair is. [sometimes i have to wonder myself...] i hardly ever answer my phone, i never check my voicemail, and i rarely return phone calls.
i'm a loudmouth and i tend to say what i want to without thinking. some people hate me for that. others respect me for being real.
i don't believe in high school love lasting, in most cases. that doesn't make me bitter. it makes me a realist. at sixteen and seventeen, you can't possibly picture what you will want for the rest of your life. sometimes you'll be positive of who you're with, and you'll have that snatched away. and that's okay, as long as you remember who you are.
i'm a strong believer that people change, and it's up to you how you will react to that. and it's ok if you realize that some things don't last. cherish the memories and move on with your life, realizing that in some ways you will always hold on to each of those people, because they molded a piece of your heart. love always.[d.e.j.l.k.c.m.j.c.j.n.]
"this is getting over you"

"and i do regret more than i admit/you have been followed back to the same place/i sat with you drink for drink/take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist."-the academy is...

My Interests

i don't really have any. anything i feel like, i guess.

I'd like to meet:

a] someone worth knowing
b] a boy

Music:

Kind of Like Spitting, Armor for Sleep, Alkaline Trio, Thrice, Daphney Loves Derby, Death Cab for Cutie, Bayside, Coheed and Cambria, The Academy Is..., Kelly Clarkson, Dashboard Confessional

Movies:

i ♥ all types of movies. i can't watch horror movies by myself. they give me nightmares. i hate watching chick flicks with guys. it seems awkward. disney movies are all amazing.

Television:

Gilmore Girls, Survivor, CSI, Grounded for Life, Dancing with the Stars, and anything on Lifetime.

Books:

Perks of Being a Wallflower is by far the best book I'll ever read.
Some other good ones are: Notes on a Near-Life Experience (Olivia Birdsall), Perfect (Natasha Friend), Wrecked (E. R. Frank), and Friction (E. R. Frank).

Heroes:

My sisters and my mom are my heroes. I've never met people who were stronger or more determined. Tbey have molded me into becoming the strong-willed young lady that I am.
