Life is Exciting! (sort of)

    I really need to post more, but life can get over whelming. Learning that the hard way right now knowing I'm biting off more than I can chew, but it's making me feel special on the inside. So I guess that's good. I really need to figure out how to write an essay for AP Lit, a lot harder than I thought it would be.

     Basically I still am trying to figure out how to analyze more then in my head. I can do it perfect in my head, because it's in pictures. It's hard to put pictures into words, makes me wish I thought in words instead so I could make more sense on paper. AP Government on the other hand is giving me no problems at all. I like the class a lot. Not that I don't like AP Lit (because I love it) Gov is just a lot easier.
    On another note, I've been with my boyfriend now for 7 months. Longest relationship I've ever been in, and I'm happier than I've ever been too. I'm not lonely and depressed like I used to.

Back in about sophomore year I didn't really have friends for a while, all of mine started dating and I wasn't as important. Hello first stages of lonely. I started dating my ex then and that was a terrible mistake, I lost one of my best friends doing that and I miss them. Flash to Junior year and two rejections later I decide to make a move on my now boyfriend. I had a crush on him since my freshmen year when i saw him making sea glass jewelry, but I never did anything about it because another friend of mine said he'd never like me. Well 11th grade I made a move on him and 7 months later here we are. Happy, awesome, and mad at Idaho because it's in the way of us seeing each other more often.

     Regardless of Idaho, I am also working on setting up a Halloween concert, a haunted house, a play, a second smaller play, and a garden. All these things are the jobs I have willingly taken on. I'm a crazy nut job. We're doing Our Town as the fall play this year. i really want to be Emily Webb, as I've never been a lead before and I kind of feel like as the only senior who has been there for four years I kind of deserve it more than a random younger kid coming in.

  

       My worst fear is that if I don't get Emily, who ever does will treat this play like a comedy, it's not. It's a classic and needs to be treated as such. It's a role for an older drama student, I just hope the role goes to somebody responsible. I've never ever been a lead before, maybe I'm not cut out for it or something, but I just hope whoever gets this doesn't treat it like anything less then important. Sorry. I'm a bit of an acting snob.

       Well, I guess that's my rant for the week, the only thing left to say is.... Happy 18th Birthday Writing and Recovering! You're one of my best friends and I don't know where I'd be with out you. :D

 

Summer

So this update (which will become more frequent, I swear) will be about all the amazing things I've done this summer!

Um, well, maybe my summer wasn't that eventful. 

I did watch the entire series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.  :D I really really like this show. Does that make me a brony or a Pega-sis? Not quite sure. Ah well. 

I discovered a darker side to me as well this summer when I discovered the joys of "Left 4 Dead" 

I always play as Louis in L4D and Ellis in L4D2, but Ellis is my favorite by far. Anyway, the reason it's dark is not just because I enjoy slaying thousands of zombies, i swear and say things that would make a sailor cry.  The nicest I get is when I call everything a butt monkey.

 That is in no way appropriate for me to draw. Oh well, could've been worse. Also, for those who play left for dead does anyone else think that before the spitter was a zombie she was a prostitute with throat gonorrhea? 

I wish I could have seen more people more often. I've almost seen everyone I want too. I even got to see david before he left for basic training. I hope he's not suffering too much.

Next year is My senior year. The first few weeks will be awkward as i try to fit into a new group of people as the main people I saw last year were seniors and well, they're not here anymore. At least i'll have Aja in the same boat as me. :)

When they leave for college we lose a ton of friends and that also means my boyfriend is leaving. Now I can take this two ways. The Ginny Weasley Way: Be a bad ass and destroy evil or The Bella Swan Way: Curl up in a ball and cry for a few months then do stupid things to almost get me killed because I've gone crazy.

Yeah...Harry Potter Methods for the win.

Still to come this summer is a big wild waves trip with nearly all my friends and a few more weeks of friendly fun before everything has to start up, and in the words of Ms Gahl I become "Master Of Everything".

P.S. You should go check out Aja's blog, just click on her name. It's a link. ;) 

What To share first? How about the Fourth of July?

Before you comment about pictures please see my "About me" Post. It's adorable so it isn't a waste I promise!

So to kick off this blog, I decided to discuss my both incredibly fun and scary fourth of July. My boyfriend and I decided to join my mom and her boyfriend at a local park to watch the firework show. We expected some people, but it ended up being a huge crowd of people.

The amount of people there was absolutely crazy, there was a pit with a live band, and hundreds and hundreds of people. My boyfriend and I are people intolerant, kind of like lactose intolerant but with less stomach aches and more urge to punch.

Despite the crazy amount of people it was actually a lot of fun, I got to cuddle with my boyfriend while watching fireworks and eating food. 

I think the people who actually lit off the fireworks didn't know what they were doing though, the fireworks went off extremely close to the ground and it was a bit terrifying, but beautiful.

Once the fireworks were done, my Momma and her boyfriend went to his house and My boyfriend was going to come over to mine for a while. Unfortunately, with fireworks comes idiots who like to stand in the middle of the road. We were stuck in the parking lot for almost half an hour.

Eventually we made it back to my home, located in the ghetto-esq part of my town. He logged on to my computer and for a while he showed me a lot of old country stars like George Jones, George Straight, and many others who did not have George as their first name. At one point we heard loud booms and thought nothing of them except people lighting off fireworks close by. Then we went out to his truck.

As I climbed in his truck to get something out I noticed glass shards everywhere.

Me: Hey Babe there's glass everywhere.

My Boyfriend: Well that shouldn't be there, Where'd it come from? GOD DAMMIT MY BACK WINDOW!

And that's not even the tailgate.

Here is how we looked on the outside:

Here's how I think we looked on the inside:

We went straight back in my house so I could pack. No way was I staying there tonight. He carefully drove us and the truck to a near by church parking lot, you know, because bad things don't happen in church parking lots. None the less we felt safer and he called the cops. The cop who came by said some one threw firecrackers in the back, but the next day My boyfriend found bird shot shells in his truck bed and my mom found some near our mailbox. I'm sure that the person shooting must not have been that smart.

My mom says the same thing happened a long time ago when we lived in Seattle where my Dad's friends shot guns in the air in excitement and shot out our neighbor's window. The point being idiots have the ability to get a hold of guns. 

 The safest place I guess will be under a blanket. Best off if it's bullet proof.

It's not that big of a deal, seeing as how no one got hurt which is the most important thing. This day just seemed worth noting. Therefore, I end with a message to whoever shot my boyfriend's car:

You are a terrible person who made my boyfriend have to spend his money he was saving for college and a new truck to fix this one. I hope a Grizzly-Lion turns you into jerky.

Learn about Me and My Art!

My name is Alysha, I roughly look like this:

First of all, I do not own a tablet or photoshop. I do everything on MS paint and on my laptop which has no mouse. Till the day I obtain either of the previous (Please birthday Fairy Please) please enjoy my silly MS paint doodles.

Second, my inspirations come from Allie's blog Hyperbole and a Half and The Oatmeal. So if my pictures seem like those in anyway it's only because their stuff makes me feel a joy similar to rainbows and cupcakes.

Now onto actual information about me. I'm a senior in a high school somewhere in this great world. I'll update when I can, but as of the start of the school year I will be in 2 AP classes, president of 2 clubs, and participating in all of my school theater performances. If you have a problem with this, take it us with my school.

Since I can't figure out a way to end this, please enjoy Top Hat Cat:

I'll be working on getting that tablet...

If you're interested, follow me on Twitter here or ask me a formspring question here. 

Please do not friend me on facebook, that's for family and friends only.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening!
