About Me

..
My name is Alyx Jolivet and I like whales and bunnies.
My Hobby
I really suck at advertising myself on myspace, so I'll leave you with some aspects of my personal wisdom
Live life, don't look back. Keep your eye on the past, and the future just rushes right past you.
Everyone is talented and has something new and interesting to offer. I prefer to be a student in the presence of friends and strangers, but if I disagree I have no qualm with confrontation.
Ignorance is bliss, because that just means there's more out there to learn.
Music is the one universal truth in communication. Words can be arbitrary, music can be enlightening.
Everything that breaks is capable of being repaired, mulling about the problem won't do anything. Getting up and pulling out the tools will, however.
If we have a hard enough time trying to figure out who we are personally, who are we to judge and define others?
Your company will always mold your personality come time - choose your friends wisely.
Fear nothing.
Be aware of your flaws; you will never feel at peace if you ignore them
Find your center - be it music, reading, drawing, watching television, whatever. That is your area of meditation, and it will save you from spiraling into depression when the going gets tough.
Instead of blaming others for your problems, consider your own flaws - it takes two to tango.
Do your best to create a memory - they make for good conversation later.
If you aren't happy being single, how do you expect to be happy in a relationship?
Hope and Dreams are wonderful when paired with motivation and determination; evil when paired with fear and laziness
Life is outstanding, don't waste the precious time you have in it.

Cars, Guitars, & Polyester Coats
