Today is a KICK A$$, DEFY GRAVITY, BE A ROCKSTAR type of day 9/21/2009

I am back home!!! I have gone through almost all my mail and I hope that I have thanked everyone, and am writing back to my penpals today. If you have sent me something, and you think I should have recieved it by now but have not heard from me, by all means Contact me and let me know what it is!

Now..On to my profile.

It is picture heavy, and if it is too overwhelming to you, then I am sorry. But I like to show people what I mean with pictures as well as words. It is a huge struggle for me to get people to understand what I mean, so I use all the help I can get. My brain has all of the answers unfortunelty my mouth has none of them.

My name is Alyson, But I go by Aly Bee. The bee is an extension of the first letter of my last name, Which starts with B. It is probably my favorite nick name up to date in my life, and I plan on keeping it even if I ever get married. It is just become who I am.

I am 22 years old now!! 22 seems like such an inbetween year to me, It doesnt feel very significant. I feel the same way right now as I did when I turned 20. Like I've just lost an important year to one that seems somewhat useless and I can never gain it back. I have heard that 23 feels like a big year for women though, so we shall see in a year!

I just recently moved across country with my boyfriend in a life long journey to find myself. I am looking for Bffs even more now that I am in a new state.

I have a dog that I love to death, and he is mineallmine and it may seem silly but some days he is my entire world. I had to leave my poor puppy back home at AZ, I am waiting til I can save up the money to bring him out here, pay the pet deposit and have the littlest love of my life back in my arms.

At heart I am a Rude girl punk rocker who thinks she can take on anyone. Have a depiction of what I mean. The following two pictures are my inside mental image, of who I am at heart and who I want to be outside.

This, however IS me!

Me on my awesome old orange couch with my equally cool bright pink hair. Jealous aren't you? Don't be, My hair is brown now.( Oh, and not to mention the awesome face I am making. Can't help that, it just happens. )

Favorite Books and Authors

My favorite author is Anne Rice, and has been for a while. One of my favorite books by her is Pandora.

What I enjoy most is fantasy. When I read I like to be taken away from this world and into another, So that I can escape. Insert, Piers Anthony and his Xanth novels, Anne Rice as said above, Steven king, Dean koontz, and others.

I read a lot, I believe its good for the mind as well as the soul. Not to mention I need something to do while I smoke.

Television

Right now the shows that I watch the most (as far as regular American tv..) are

♪Heroes

♪ House

♪ Family guy

♪ The simpsons

♪ How I met your mother

I will add any that i think of in the future. And as a sidenote. I watch almost all of them on Hulu.

~ ~ Anime ~ ~

-Soul eater (Even though the series is over it was pretty epic)

-Gurren Lagann

-One piece

-Full metal alchemist (old and new)

-Vampire knight and Vampire knight guilty.

I would LOVE anything related to any of these shows, with any of the characters names or faces on them!!

I am going to try and not get overwhelmed with swaps OR tags, so I am going to keep track of the tags that I OWE here, so that I can see everytime I log in what I need to do, as well those who i owe the items to can look at my profile and see as well where it is at, if i sent it, etc.

6/7/09-> @kthanxbye - Random flat envie

@pasiakowa - Suprise for winning hangman game!

@neca84 Something personal (handmade)

I also have some prizes from groups to send out, all of these will be worked on asap.

@eadaoin Beads + Random piece of fabric.

If you haven't recieved an item from me in a 'tag' and you do not see your name here, please pm me or leave a comment and I will look into it!! The names should stay up until I receive word that you have gotten the package.

Colors I love!

My top color is green ->

The pledge. :)

Just a few extra things I feel like you should know about me.

*I do smoke, I don't do it around my crafts or packages but I feel like my partners should be aware of this. Please let me now if it ever causes a problem.

• I drink a lot of coffee but I dont generally have a taste for tea.

• I love most kinds of chocolate, except for dark and anything beyond regular dark. It tastes too bitter for me :)

• I love granola bars.

• I love red licorice but hate the black kind.

• I have no allergies

I won't get angry if you send these things, I just feel like they would have a better home than mine, no fear though, if they end up in a package i will send them to someone who could use them :)

♠Postcards , store bought or home made.

♠ Beads

♠ Used stamps

♠ Sewing utensils.

♠Thread

♠Yarn

These are just some examples, I am sure that reading even this short list you will get an idea of the sort of things that i PROBABLY wont love as much as someone else would. If I come across them they will most likely be passed along so please dont be upset if this happens when you send me one of these items!

I will add to this list as well as i think of things. My profile will probably always be in progress.

Friendship books and Slams

I don't make them for myself nor do I personally Swap for them, however, if you would like to include them in a package you sent to me I will always, gladly send them along for you if you wish for them to circulate.

Things I haven't seen

• Chunky page

• Zine

• an Inchie

• amigurumis

** Note about groups **

I have left a few of the groups that I was in. The reason for this is that I was not active and or didnt feel as though I could contribute enough.

Private swaps

I enjoy private swaps, If you come across my profile and are interested in one, Throw me a line. Chances are, I am up for it. :)

Types I am currently LOOKING for :

-Journals -Letters
