What...

Hey blog I abandoned.

'sup bro.

Ah, Blogger. The thing everyone abandoned. Except me. Until I gave up. But now I am here again...for no reason. At all. I should be writing Cinni.

Hi people reading this. I'm boring.

I seriously have nothing interesting to talk about.

Happy New Year, darlings.

I love you. All zero of you.

Yep.

-Alice

Ps. Tiny miniskirts.

Pps. There, now this post has a point.

Hell Week: Imminent

It's coming and I want time to stop.

8 AM-12 PM--summer gym

2 PM-friggin' 9 freaking PM (seriously? SERIOUSLY???? Yes.)--boot camp for Marching Band.

Anyone who says that isn't a sport can go jump off a cliff. Or come to our practice.

My only happiness with this is that, hopefully, I'll keep on losing weight, which I desperately need to do...

*sigh* Invisible people...welcome to the saga of Hell Week.

I am dreading it. I wish I could stop time.

Too bad I can't.

I wish band wasn't so dang long. Or if I could march. At all. Of course, I can't. I seriously suck. I would guess that I am one of the worst people there. ...I would kick me off if I could. I'm sure they would. I'm just a liability. That, and I'm mediocre at best of a player.

I'm really sick of being the worst at EVERYTHING. I'm at the back of the class for gym and for Marching Band. It gets irritating. It's the physical activity.

That + out of shape, uncoordinated me = aches and pains and failures.

On the bright side, I did an awesome mile last week. On the downside, I'll never do it again...

Meh.

I'm tired.

Still wishing time would stop and that this week would never start,
-Alice

Yeah, well...

If I had titling ideas, I swear I'd write them.
I swear.
You don't believe me.
Fine then.
Be a jerk, just like my Blogger account that feels the need to connect to my family's stupid Comcast email account. I had to change my password and now I never remember it. It's miracle I'm here.

*sigh*

Okay. Fine. Deep breath.

Ever regret something? I regret my URL. Now it's just gonna make people look at me weird...Fail. It's not even spelled right. Oh well. No one reads this anyways. Unless they're INVISIBLE.
...
Hi invisible people!

AJ: *singing* Deniiiiaaaal....

*glares* Anyways, yeah and such. I've been busy. I managed to finish NaNoWriMo (HUZZAH!). It was a fail, but oh well. You know. That was my goal from the start.

I seriously annoy myself sometimes.

I have stuff to talk about but I'm too lazy. Oh well.

-Alice

Random pictures...

Caption: A miniskirt-obsessed, dog-loving, morally-bankrupt, hydrophobic pyro with a god complex. Need I say more?

That is why we love him.

O.O I never thought of that before. But it's true...O////O

Alone..

More than usual...my Camp-No Novel freakin' sucks...I hate it...I have a sort of plan, but that really didn't help much...maybe it's just this chapter...who know?

Reading City of Lost Souls...sadly...it goes something like this:

Clary getting bitten by a snake thing...? Oh...darn... *flips a few pages forward* Ooh Simon! *skips over Clary-Jace-Sebastian part* *a little while later* *stuck in a Jordan-Maia part* Uuuuggh...*flips ahead to find Simon-Magnus-Alec-Isabelle* Craaaaap...five more pages.... *keeps reading*

*sigh* Also, Magnus, even, is starting to break down. We know that means trouble if HE'S breaking down...he's also stuck in Dangerously Sarcastic Mode. Which is never good...I always forget how young he is....I should be writing...

Meeeeeh,
-Alice

This is Michael Buckley. He has something to say.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

I have this posted on my profile on Fictionpress. This is a topic I feel really strongly about, and I know is a really hot debate now, especially with the presidential elections coming up.

I don't understand why people are so worked up about this...? I mean, I guess because it's in the Bible.

Fine. I'm a Lutheran. You know what else is in the Bible, in that same section?

Well, you're saying, you're gay and you go to hell (like it's a choice, but just roll with me, haters).

Have you ever eaten shrimp? Shellfish?

Whoops. I guess you are too.

Times have changed, people. I think it's time we get over ourselves and keep our noses out of other people's business.

I could list statistics. I could say a lot. I just want an honest answer, no hater crap. Why the heck do you think that this is so wrong? What business is it of yours? Is it...disrupting you? Your life? No. It's THEIR choice. I guess we'll see when we die, but until then, live your own life instead of others' and you'll be LOT happier.

I just don't get it.

It makes me sad and it makes me heart hurt. The man in the video above is wonderful and has a lot to say. Love is love. It's not a choice. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I will fight this battle.

Land of the free? We know that's not true. Look at the wars, the deaths, the racism, everything. I'm not gonna go hating on heterosexuals because it's not my place to say stuff about how divorce rates are higher and so on, because I am one of them. *shrugs* So, you know, I won't.

I could say a lot.

But, I, like Ghandi, opt for silence.

I won't say anything more on this subject.

I wish more people could see this, not that they would care at all.

Please stop the hate,
-Just another girl living in America and wishing she could change it

Ps. And no. I don't care what people say about me, if you haven't noticed. Haters gonna hate. I post this with all seriousness because I feel strongly about it. I could do the same for racism. Maybe I will.
Just some thoughts...

YES!

I AM DONE WITH MY STUPID WEEK-TO-DO-A-GIANT-RESEARCH-PERSUASIVE-POWERPOINT-PRESENTATION-PROJECT ON POWER AND LEADERSHIP!!!
YES. THANK YOU GOD!
IT'S OVER!
Now, all I have to worry about is the science unit test next week, whatever the stupid band meeting is tomorrow, the presentation, the math final that will count on my high school GPA, packing for D.C. and so on too!
I fainted today! Aren't you so happy, nobody reading this? I fear everyone is ignoring me or too busy to look at this anymore...
Oh, I drew a pic of Tori! Cami, if you read this, wanna see it?
I think I'm getting better at drawing...I don't really like her face still, but it's getting better I think. I really like her epic boots, though.
I was wondering for a while where Ed's epic boots went, then I realized that he and Ling ate them...*sigh* I miss those boots. They were epic...*pouts*
Anyways, since I'm rambling for nothing as I've been being ignored here (understandable) and in my writing (slightly irritating, but it really wasn't all that great of a chapter, a, and b, Cami doesn't actually read my stuff, do you Cami? I was under the impression you got busy and stopped about half way through it all...this is what I get for writing intimidatingly long chappies....)
Eh, well...
^^
Toodles,

Gemini's Secret Desire: To be ahead of the crowd
In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives!

In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large.

Another reason Geminis evoke so much interest is many born under this sign are multi-dimensionally talented. In money matters, some Geminis are very adept and quick at making it...and spending it too. Many Geminis are involved in international financial wheeling and dealing. They love the adventure and game playing involved in out-thinking other people. Gemini's can be very haphazard about their financial affairs too, with many of them ending up in divorce courts mainly because their partners have become tired of living on the edge of a financial precipice.

The twins' birthday: June 1st

An Excerpt from AJ

The scene changed.
Again, I watched, but was aware. Was aware, but couldn't move.
"Can I sit?"
A grunt. A shaking head.
"Please?"
Feet dangled over an edge of a drop at the top of a grassy hill. A house in the distance. A meadow stretched out in front. Trees lining the edges. Another declining motion.
Two pairs of feet dangled over the edge. "Why not?"
"I just want you to leave me alone." Gaze cast to the side.
A pout. Imploring eyes that matched the sky. Only one head of hair that blew with the wind. "It's not fun being alone."
"I know."
"Then why do you like it?"
Silence.
A small smile. A head leaning on a shoulder. "I know you don't like it here but I think it might be good for you. My mom likes you and wants to help you have a home again. It has to be better than the orphanage."
"I don't know. They leave me alone there, mostly."
A frown. "What about me? Isn't it nice, having a friend?"
"No."
A silence. "Well, that's sad."
Another pause. A shrug.
Two pairs of eyes directed into nothingness.
"I'm sorry you don't like it here. But I do. I wish that life wasn't temporary. But," a small shrug. "I guess that's okay. It'd just be nice to do what I can, while I can. I'd like to see you happy."
The words Leukemia and HIV/AIDS flashed over her head but she didn't seem to notice.
"Why do you care?"
"Well, why not? You've gone through a hard time. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like if my parents…" A slight sniffle.
"Then you're just as much use as the rest of them."
A raised eyebrow. "Just as much use, huh? At least you didn't knock me down because of my condition." A small smile.
A sideways glance. A silence.
"I really am sorry though. I wish I could help you."
"You can't."
"I know."
"Then why are you here?"
"Because everyone needs a friend, whether they think they do or not. Just someone to listen." A shrug.
"I'm not going to spill my guts about how awful I feel about my traumatic past like some heroine in a tragedy, if that's what you want." Eyes shifted back to the distance.
"Are you crazy? Why would I want that?" A nose turned up.
A head turned. Curious eyes. "Really?"
A nod. A smirk. "Really. I want you to spill your guts and tell me all your secrets from before you had guts to spill." A fake evil laugh.
A glare. Just a hint of amusement. "Whatever." Eyes turned away again.
A smile. A head leaning against a shoulder. "I'll get you to crack eventually, you know."
I, or, rather, the me at that time, stiffened at her touch. I looked at her. Her eyes were closed until I did, then they sprung open. She looked at me intently, not with any particular purpose, just looking.
I remembered my thoughts: Eventually? Using what time?
I returned her stare, wondering how she could be so brave. Though her head was close to mine, the only hair that tickled my neck was my own.
Finally, I blinked, still not willing to break the silence that had settled around us, the kind only found in places undisturbed by urban development, but unable to stay still. When I did, she leaned up and kissed me on the cheek, softly. She pulled away slowly. I turned red.
"W-what was that for?" I demanded, pressing my fingertips to my cheek instinctively.
"For luck," she said matter-of-factly, smiling and sitting up.
I swallowed. "If anyone needs luck, it's you." It had to be said. Honestly, she made me feel shameful about my problems and my worries when she had much more imminent ones at the time. She didn't seem to care though. I didn't know how she did it.
She didn't seem to mind what I'd said. I guessed that was because she had already done the impossible, at least to me: she had come to peace with her lot in life, as sucky as it was.
She just shook her head, placidly. "I don't need luck," she whispered, calm and content as ever. "I don't need luck because I don't have a chance. My cards have been dealt and played and now…I'm going home. What's the use of luck when I can't make use of it? But you…you still have cards left in your hand. You haven't played some yet. You…still have a chance." She never dropped her smile as she spoke with much more wisdom than her age should have allowed. Her words never had a hint of sadness in them, or any indication that she was looking for pity.
I blinked. Wet cheeks again. Unworthy, I thought, taking a swipe at myself. I looked at her and broke down in front of her; for her; for both of us. I shattered into a million pieces, unable to be put back together again.
"Harley," I murmured, squeezing my eyes shut.
I opened my eyes.
A pair of brown ones stared back. Concern reflected in them.
Wet cheeks. Ruffling sheets. An aching chest.
I rolled over.
I closed my eyes.
Unworthy.
I tried to go back to sleep.

Tiny miniskirts...*dies of laughter once again* Oh, Travis...your voice when you say that...
Ah the good days.
Back when there was such a thing as "humour" and the plot didn't hit the fan.

Ah jyes...

I miss those days...

Just Exactly How the Twins DID End Up in Massachusetts

My eyes fluttered open and light pressed its way into my vision. In fact, that was all I saw at first. Then I could see a side table drawer and a clock. A clock that was displaying a time a little later than what I would have liked. Stretching and yawning, I waited for the sleepiness to leave my mind. When it did, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Finally awake, I opened them and looked to my right.

I smiled.

He always slept later than me. He probably wouldn’t ever get up before noon if I didn’t wake him. Lying on his side, facing towards me, eyes closed, mouth open, my brother was dead to the world. I smiled and pushed him over so he was on his back. He mumbled something and tried to turn but I held him fast, straddling his waist. Leaning down, I prodded his cheek a few times.

He moaned and began to wake. I sighed. That could take hours. Deciding to try something different, I pinched his side, hard. One yelp and a death glare later, he was finally up and running. He yawned loudly at me and stretched. “What time is it?”

“Time to get up,” I informed him, jumping out of the bed. “We’ve got a plane to catch.”

“It’s our plane,” he rubbed at his eyes. “I’m not catching anything.”

“You’re going to be catching a cold glass of water over the head if you don’t get moving,” I announced, grabbing a shirt to throw on. “Or your tea will be cold.”

He flopped backward. “Nah… I don’t think so.”

I grabbed his hand and yanked him forward, up out of the bed and into my chest. Holding him up, I grinned, “Yes, I think so.”

“Meh,” he grumbled and stood shakily, swaying a little. “Where this time?”

“Small town,” I shrugged. “As usual. Massachusetts, I think. Just for until ‘the commotion dies down’.”

He rolled his brown eyes. I smiled a little. This was the only time I got to see them like that, natural. When we were alone. “How were we supposed to know the tree would fall? It’s not our fault it was old,” he sighed, leaning on the bedpost for support. “I don’t know why they feel the need to send us away all the time.”

I shrugged and grabbed his hand, lacing my fingers with his. “Come on,” I announced, dragging him out the room. “We need to get ready.”

A shower and some food later, I stood in front of him, tying his tie. “So, are you ready?”

He tied mine too. “Just another town.”

“Might be interesting.”

“Maybe.”

“Might be some cute girls.”

He shot me a questioning look then shrugged, pulling my tie a little too tight in silent retaliation.

 “I know how you like to flirt,” I choked out, glaring at him and loosening it.

He tilted his head, smiling. “Yeah,” he nodded. “You’re right. But not too much.”

“Eh,” I shrugged. “You never know.”

“Or do we…” he trailed off. I rolled my eyes at him.

The plane ride over was uneventful. We were on and off relatively fast as we were staying in-country. I didn’t mind. I liked America. I was pretty sure he did too. He seemed content with looking out the window or playing with my fingers most of the plane ride. Or, the three minutes on the plane ride when he was awake. I sat back and looked at him for a while, just letting myself be motionless, yet moving through the air, faster than ever. I liked it, the contradiction.

The lady next to us kept looking at us weird but I didn’t care. I was used to it. I kept my eyes blue since his couldn’t be seen at the moment. I didn’t mind. The ride went fast and we soon landed in a small town in the middle of nowhere, as usual. I shook him awake easier this time.

We walked off the plane, grabbed our suitcases, and waited outside for the car. He sat on his suitcase. I leaned against the wall. The airport was small. We weren’t even in the town yet. It was relatively cold out but I didn’t mind and he didn’t seem to either. The wind blew snow around outside.

“Nothing new,” he muttered.

I looked down at him. “Yet,” I pointed out. “Could be interesting. That’s what you said when we were stuck at the beach house that summer in Florida. Look how that ended up.”

He laughed and stood, slinging an arm around my waist. I leaned into him. “Fair enough,” he nodded. “Maybe they’re will be some extraordinary secret here to discover. A hidden power within.” He wiggled his fingers at me.

I slapped them away and he looked at me, fake-shocked. I laughed and had a go at him again.

The car pulled up and we got in, not having to direct the driver where to go. Not that we had been made aware of our exact location. He leaned his head on my shoulder as we pulled off, watching the snowy countryside fly by in a blur. “Do you really think there might be something interesting here?” he whispered.

“I have no idea,” I murmured. “But that’s half the fun.”

“Why do we have a house here again?” he yawned, burying his face into my shoulder and nuzzling closer to me, arms around my chest. I pulled him closer, glad I wasn’t alone in the middle of a new state. I didn’t recall ever being sentenced to Massachusetts before. Somewhere new. That was something we didn’t get every day.

“Who knows?” I shrugged. “Mum and Sir are weird.”

“They freak out over such small stuff.”

“I know. But we did almost crush all their clients.”

“We stopped it.”

“Barely. We should have been more careful.”

Brown eyes looked up at me. There was a pause. “Yeah, maybe.”

The rest of the ride was spent in mostly silence. Neither of us really wanted to be trapped but we were resigning ourselves to fact that we were. At least for winter holidays. Sooner than I would have thought, the driver announced that we were there. Waking him for a third time that day, we climbed out and stood, looking up at the house in which we would be stuck for a while. It wasn’t much, but it wasn’t too little, either. The driver took our suitcases in and we turned around. The name of the street was fox something.

We blinked and our eyes turned an icy blue, maybe because of the weather and maybe just because of our mood. Hands in our pockets, we were once more in sync. The neighborhood was just like any other suburban street. Nothing special. At least, not from the outside. I looked over at him at the same time he glanced to me. “Here we go again,” I sighed, looking back at the wintry wasteland.

He nodded. “Here we go again.”

Anyways, yeah...*shrugs* Cami wants to borrow them. I figured I'd give them a reason for being there in the first place...you can't tell who's talking and who isn't so um....MWUAHAH! And such. *nods*

Meh

Alice is alone.
And my hand hurts.
And I haven't been on here in forever.
And nobody cares.
And Cinni has a crazy alchemist for a grandpa.
And it's Earth day.
And I'm tired.
And Cami and Lauren are doing stupid homework...and I'm alone...
And nobody gives a crap.
-Alice

Waaaaah...

Mwuahahah...episode 14...when they are all playing kick the can or whatever...
...I didn't notice before but....
RANDOM LINKED PINKIES! SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *runs off before Cami realizes what she just suggested and most likely murders and/or disapproves of her as she did last time I suggested something of that nature*
MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ALICE STRIKES AGAIN! (Although, without photographic proof this time...sadly...)

By the way Cami, are you dead?
I know Ms. McCartney is alive...

Hmmm...shall I have AJ contact you from the beyond?
AJ: ...no. Without...some compensation...
...whatever! *runs off, still smiling happily*

*complete and utter sigh*

The awkward moment when you've been wondering why your stupid Auto-Correct isn't changing your is to Is and you look down at the language, only to find that it, for some inexplicable reason, is set on Italian. You then go to change the setting back to freaking English and your document locks up.

Aren't I so good with technology?

Couldn't resist

I'm really sorry Cami! But uh...I don't know how far you are in the second book and I don't exactly remember how much you get to know in the first so...this may or may not contain a spoiler. I doubt it's one you care about because you don't seem to be interested in Alec at all but...uh...warning.
This girl is a wonderful singer and this song makes me laugh so...here it is:

Waaaaaaaaaah...
-Alice

I know these are blurry...

And suckish...sorry...heheh...anyways, I said I would post them though, so here are my cop-out pictures:

That one makes me sad. And here's number two:

That one's just more of a perspective drawing than anything else.

Uh...yeah. ^^

I don't really know what to say about that so...heheh...I leave now. Bye!
