About Me


Myspace Contact Tables - Get this Contact Table
Hey! My name is Alyssa . I'm 25 years old and live in Altoona, Pennsylvania . It's pretty much a small town that not many have heard of. It's your typical town though, with not a lot to do . We have bars, churches, restaurants, motels/hotels, gas stations, banks, and grocery stores. Unfortunately, we don't have much else. But enough about my town.
About me, well, I'm a pretty easy going girl . I'm up for just about anything and love to have fun , when I'm not working! I like to hang out with all of my friends *thank God for my wonderful friends!*, go to the bars now and then, go offroading and mudding, go camping, go for long drives to nowhere in particular, listen to music, go bowling, go to movies, watch movies, go window shopping, go for long walks, take pictures of strange things, do things I've never done before, experience life, dream big, wish hard, write poetry, read, think, just about anything to pass time and keep me occupied . I do have a job working at The Nest Egg Daycare/Pre-school Monday thru Friday. I work with 4 and 5 year olds all day long. Trust me, there's never a dull moment! :) This fall, I'll be going back to school to finish my degree in elementary education to become a teacher! I can't wait! Anyone up for a study break? lol :)
When I'm not busy, I like having fun . Though I haven't had much time lately, I could DEFINITELY use a few nights out on the town. I want to just go out doing whatever and laugh my ass off! I love to smile, laugh, and just have fun. I'll do whatever to have fun, even if it means making an ass outta myself. Bring on the good times! :) If you'd like to get to know me, I'm pretty much an open book .

"Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down
It can break your heart
Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
It's just a dead end road
At the end of the day
But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way
Of taking its sweet time
No life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride"
-Life Ain't Always Beautiful by Gary Allan

My Interests

I'm interested in lots of different things. I love to write poetry and read everything I can get my hands on, when time permits. I like scrapbooking and doing arts and crafts. Although I haven't done much lately, I like to paint. I live in a small town, so I've grown to appreciate the finer points in life like mudding, offroading, camping, and bonfires. :-P I also like music, movies, books, tv, hanging out with friends, going for drives to nowhere at all, and many other things. I'll try anything once! I love new adventures! :)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet a bunch of really interesting and odd people . I'm tired of fake and boring people who can't seem to think for themselves. I want to meet people with their own thoughts and ideas . I'm up for anything really: a good party, a night out drinking, a concert, a fair or festival, a night in Pittsburgh, a day at the beach. Message me and find out what kinda fun you'd like to get into. :-P

Television:

My all-time favorite tv show is I LOVE LUCY! I'm a HUGE Lucille Ball fan. I collect everything I Love Lucy! :-P Some of my other favorite shows are The Gilmore Girls , One Tree Hill , Family Guy , Grey's Anatomy, Ghost Hunters, Ice Road Truckers, and Men in Trees. I like some of the older shows, too like Green Acres, The Facts of Life, My Favorite Martian, and Beauty and the Beast.

I Love Lucy

The Gilmore Girls

Books:

My favorite book is An Old Sweetheat of Mine by James Whitcomb Riley. I obtained an old copy of it from 1901 I believe. It's tattered and torn and quite possibly my most prized material possession *other than my photographs of course*. Old, used books just have so much character to them. They tell a story before the pages are even read!
Most of my other favorite books are books of poetry. Some of my favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, Rita Dove, Tracie Morris, and W H Auden. Right now I'm really into the FBI thriller series by Catherine Coulter that begins with the book The Cove. Other favorites are The Giver, Stargirl, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, A Wrinkle in Time, Fear of Dreaming, The Bluest Eye, Left Behind, anything by Roald Dahl, House of Leaves *so far, not quite finished*, and most all of the classics.

The BFG *Big Friendly Giant* by Roald Dahl

Heroes:

My mom for being a single mom and raising me and being my best friend, my aunt for surviving cancer and beating the odds, my pap for surviving his strokes, my gram for surviving her heart attacks, my uncle for being the odds in his accident, and the rest of my family for always being there for me and being wonderful! I love you guys! :)
