Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time, a prince asked a beautiful princess a very important question. 

"Princess, will you marry me?"

The princess, flattered with his venerability, smiled but replied "No."

The prince fled from the princess with his pride broken...and his heart.

However, the princess lived happily ever after and traveled around the world and met interesting people and learned new stuff and she hooked up with lots and lots of cute boys and nobody thought she was a slut or a floozie. 

She always put herself first and went to rock concerts and girls nights and nobody ever told her

"Go make me a sandwich!"

and she kept her apartment and her last name and all of her shoes and never got cheated on or lied to.

All of her family and friends thought she was freaking awesome and cool and fun.

She made tons of money 

and the toilet seat was always down, like it's supposed to be.

The End

Have You Ever Been in Love?

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up year heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit or armor, so that nothing can hurt you. Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't you own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness. So simple a phrase like "maybe we should be just friends" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. Its a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. -Neil Gaiman

Have you ever been in love? I have.

Conversation at Work

So, there I was sitting at work when Soren turns to me and says "Did you know that if every human that has ever lived was given an equal amount of stars, everyone would have a hundred billion stars?" To which I replied "I hope mine are gold stars"...and the conversation proceeded like this:
Soren: I hope I have blue dwarfs
Allie: I hope I have red giants
Soren: My blue dwarfs can take on your red giants
Allie: Nuh-uh. My red giants can step and squish your dwarfs
Soren: No way. Mine will have more armor and will be smarter
Allie: Uhhh....ha ha ha
Soren: You should put this conversation on your blog.

Summer Update

The first month of summer is official come and gone and I can honestly say that I've accomplished almost nothing in that time.
My schedule is the same almost everyday. I wake up, get ready for work, go to work, go home from work, watch a movie while I make dinner, hang out on the balcony with some friends, and then go to bed. Seriously, that's about it.
But lemme tell ya, I'm loving it. I feel so chill this summer! I feel like I can pretty much really do whatever the hell I want without worrying about missing out on something or people wondering what I'm up to and whatnot. For example, last week and last night, I went to bed at freaking 8:30pm! It was amazing! Seriously!
I went into the summer hoping to make some new friends and to take my social life up a notch. I've done almost the complete opposite and I'm so glad it's turning out that way. I mean, I still hang out with people on occasion. I've had Kami, Jared, Ali, and Matt all come for a visit and I've hung out with friends in the Salt Lake valley. So its not like I've cut myself off from the rest of the world. I'm just trying to spend a lot more time with myself. I've also been blessed to have roommates that I never see. Yeah, that sounds totally weird and ridiculous and I honestly would love to spend more time with Melanie, but we don't see each other very often. My other two roommates, I rarely see, especially one that I think might be a ghost.
But anyways, that's pretty much all that's been going on with me this first month of summer. I'm terribly boring. And I am loving every second of it. Furreal.

Dear People: Round Three

If you didn't get to see the previous 2 posts I already did of this, here they are:
Dear People: Round One
Dear People: Round Two
You'll probably be way confused if you don't click on one for an explanation....just saying.

Dear Wilson:

Even though I still think you're really weird, I'm lucky to have you as my neighbor. I'm growing rather fond of you.

Admirably, Tim Taylor

Dear Kermit:

Yep, still mine. 

Love, Piggy

Dear Ghost:

Who ARE you?! Please stop freaking me out and act like a normal human being instead of randomly popping up and being all weird and stuff. I can't think of anything positive to say

Sincerely, the resident

Dear Luke:

No. I am not your father. Nor your mother. Nor your twin sister. Nor your maid!

Love, Allie

Dear Toothless:

Mybad for being so grumpy. How about I'll give you some fish and we'll call it even. Yes?

Honestly, Hiccup

Dear Father Time:

I kinda think you're a creepy stalker person, but I'm glad you aint stalking me. Still, you're kind of a creeper. But I can tell you do it cuz you're lonely. Maybe we should become better friends. After all, we've known each other for quite a while now...

How about it?, Mother Earth

Dear Otter:

You're adorable. You're attractive. You know me like nobody else does. Don't you know that you can have me if you'd only but ask? 

Yearning and hopeful, H20

Food for Thought

Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into Hell, just to keep your fix.

Unfortunately, I think this is truer than any of us want to admit.

Summer Goals

Whenever there comes a transition in my life, I like to always go into it with some sort of goal(s). I am experience a big transition right now as I have completed my 4th year of college and this is the first summer I've been out on my own without any family around. Most of my friends have gone home for the summer so I've lost my support system and have been forced to basically rely sully on myself, which is not a bad thing really. I am moving into a new apartment with new people and am looking forward to meeting new people. But this summer is going to be about reconstructing myself and figuring out who I really want to be and creating a plan for becoming that person. To go along with that, here are some of my other goals I have for this summer:

• Come closer to God
• Get into better physical shape
• Try to run or swim every week day
• Rarely eat fast food
• Eat more fruits and veggies
• Meditate at least 10 minutes everyday
• Find a new hobby
• Read at least 5 books

I'm sure that there are more goals I have right now, but I either don't feel like posting them or I simply cannot remember them at this moment in time. 

But please know that I wish you all a very happy and safe summer. (:
