*sigh*... I'm bored... and not tired at all... *sigh*...
I just read "An Ancient Civilization" by Acey... it gooooooooooood... it's here at fiction press... and she'll prolly kill me for giving you the link... but the story is absolutely hillarious... though you'll only really understand it if you Canadian...
yup... I should probably go...
nighty-night,

Welcome to Ally's lil' corner of the universe (does it even have corners?) where everyone one can live the insanity that is her mind. Originally begun some 20 odd years ago (20?!) as a high school diary, this blog now contains (somewhat irregular) updates on where Ally has been and what she has been up to - often alongside whatever other bizarre musings happen to be meandering by at the time ;).

Ally has finished her english article ... yay!!!
heeheehee... if anyone tried to talk to me on msn today, this is what they got...
...bored... auto-message: Ally is busy, she is doing her english project-assignment-thingy, she has been stalling for the past 6 or 7 days... please do not try to talk to her, as it would allow her to get distracted - taking even more of her brain power away from her work... this would be especially unproductive seeing as how we all know that she doesn't have very much intelligence to start with, this gives her work a very limited suply and so, she cannot spare the single brain cell needed to talk to you...
yupyup... so anyways... I just thought I'd post that...
bye-d-byes,
The Increasingly Odd and Incomprehensible,
Ally

On a lighter note...
I got bored earlier... I seem to do that often... just like going off on tangents... I do that all the time while I'm talking, when I'm writting and reading too... though luckily for my readers, when I'm writting I tend to do it in my head... well... most of the time anyways... getting back on track... because of my boredom I decided it would be fun to read online dictionaries... *Note - Ally is confusing "fun" with avoiding her english project at all costs* ... I happened to stumble upon "The Devil's Dictionary", it's absolutely hillarious... it was written by Ambrose Bierce in 1906, and the definitions are still true today!!! ... it's basically a satirical dictionary... I found these two deffinitions extremely funny:
OPTIMISM, n. The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile. Being a blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof -- an intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.
and
PESSIMISM, n. A philosophy forced upon the convictions of the observer by the disheartening prevalence of the optimist with his scarecrow hope and his unsightly smile.
heeheehee... I could go on about how true they are... but I won't... I think it's pretty obvious to all....
I know I haven't blogged much lately... but I hope to blog again soon...

ps. Oh, about the looting of museums in Iraq.... NO! you do not do that, you just don't... I personally don't hold any love for museums... but all of that history lost, distroyed or stolen is almost physically painful to think about... why the hell didn't those ass-holes in Washington do something to protect them??? ... honnestly, as calous as this sounds, I don't care how many more soldiers would have been killed protecting the museums... I'd let my whole family die before I'd let someone destroy that much history and knowledge!

*sigh*... I'm feeling kinda philosophical... but I don't really want to write about it...
I was catching up on my blog reading, when I stumbled across an old(ish) post of Evan's about existentialism(beleiving that all people are free(not bound by a supernatural being) and are responsible for their own actions) and atheism(not beleiving in any godlike figure), and about what Friedrich Nietzsche (that's a nightmare to spell) said - "God is dead, therefore man is free." ... Evan was saying how not beleiving in any sort of deity would leave no purpose in your life, giving you a hollow, empty feeling. In some ways this is true, I mean, I'd like to think that there was some meaning for my life, that I live for a reason... on the other hand, that reason could be extremely small and pathetic, and yes it would be something to live up to, but what about when I acheived that, would I be allowed to go further and explore? ... Or, upon achieving what was desired of me and living out my usefulness, would I die?
... personally, I'm a mix of beliefs and philosophies, I have not yet decided exactly what I choose to believe about anything. This is rather odd seeing as how I'm a "why" person and need to know the why of everything immediately or I feel that I'll just die (and after that, I need to know the when, who, where and how... but I generally enjoy figuring those out on my own... I think another way to describe "why" people is nosy... though I prefer curious or adventurous) ... then again, the fact that I'm nosy might explain why I'm still "sitting on the fence"... this way I get to hear everyones ideas and philosophies and consider them all equally and unobjectively... plus, I'd like to be able to explore and experience them all before I choose, that way I'll know that I've chosen the right one... or maybe I won't... none of us really will until we die... and even then we might not... that's another fun thing to consider... what happens after we die...
I know the empty feeling Evan's talking about, the one you get by not beleiving in anyting... It's pretty horible... I don't experience it much... I'm more agnostic than anything... for those of you who don't know... that's beeing deliberately ignorant, and refusing to agree whether or not there is a godlike thing hanging around... I don't really follow the ignorant part though, since I enjoy contemplating all of the different philosophies... the only thing I really know for sure, is that I have a limited time on this earth... in this particular body anyways... and that I intend to travel, explore and experience as much as possible, physically and mentally while I'm still around to do it... who knows, maybe all my adventures and escapades will lead me to a higher understanding... and if they don't, who cares... at least I spent my life doing and thinking exciting and enjoyable things that I won't regret...

I had the oddest dream last night... I'll admit it freaked me out... I donno why though.... the dream it self wasn't really scary...
We had this supply tech teacher, and he decided that we hadn't learnt electricity properly, so he decided to take us all out, and by all I mean every single gr.9, even those who weren't in tech... and have us wire the whole town as a parallel circuit... strange, I know... so anyways, I eventually gathered that he was planning on blowing up the town (can you do that using a prallel circuit?) ... I started telling everyone what was going on, but it was like they couldn't stop or something... for some strange reason that didn't bother me at all... not until I got this horrible feeling that something/someone was going to die if I didn't get them out, appearantly there had been an evacuation warning for all the families before hand, but this thing had missed them... so, so far the dream had been pretty normal... well as far as dreams go anyways... but then when I was looking for the thing to save... which I'm pretty sure was a dog... it was like I couldn't do anything, I just kept running around in circles in a giant maze... now, usually I like the maze type dreams, their fun... but after a while this just got tedious... usually when something like this happens I can sort of semi control the dream if i have to... but as soon as I tried moving off my "path" I woke up... okay so the dream still isn't to scary... I told you it wasn't... but when I fell back asleep the dream just started over again from the begining... that was the odd/scary part... no matter where I tried to control the dream I would wake up... then fall back asleep and the dream would start again... in the end I eventually let myself run in circles 'till time was up and I don't think it ever ended... but man, when your used to beeing able to nuge your dreams onto the right path... it's really freaky when something like this happens...
oh well, gtg...
I'll blog sometime soon (hopefully),

*sigh*
... well... not much has been happening lately... life been kinda... well... I can't really say dull or boring... it's been kinda like a relaxing break... if you don't count the rush to do four assignments and two projects...
I really don't have anything in particular to talk about...wow, that's a first (note the sarcasm)... and I'm not really in the mood to blog... so I guess I'll go now...
Bye-d-Byes,

I got my report card today...
I actuallly have an 81% overall average... it would be a lot higher if gym weren't 67%!!! oh well... that's okay... it's still an A...
OOOh, you know my presure/sinus headaches that are sorta but not really migranes? ... my mom's trying to convince me to drink coffee every morning 'cause caffeine "helps" ... it does... GAH! ... it's soooo annoying... pain killers just make them worse... well except extra-strength midol... it has 60mg of caffeine in it... I just don't want to take them 'cause I'm scared of over using them... I don't want to become immune... I kinda need them for other things... they're the only things that work! ... it's funny... I need caffeine, so I keep eating chocolate... but then I get sick... (I'm after all semi-lactose intolerant)... why is this funny? I have nooo clue... sad... *sigh*... heeheehee... I love midol... it's my savior... I found out about it having caffeine when I was reading the ingrediants before exams last year... gotta love the exam tips about not changing your schedule or your caffeine intake around exam time... sorry but it was pretty inevitable... I kinda had to... no real choice there... unless of course, you wanted me taking exams doubled over with pain... heeheehee... I had lot's of caffeine today... and guess what??? hardly any headaches... yay!!! ...unfortunately I'm now wide awake and exhausted at the same time... have been all day actually... it really isn't a good combination... I haven't been able to form one single coherent sentence yet... then again... I'm never able to form a reasonably short and understandable sentence... I mean look at my blog... my whole paragraph is a sentece... and even when I start a new paragraph... it's not necessarily a new sentece... I really think I should go... this is really just a bunch of gobble-d-gook... not that I don't usually end up typing that anyways...
Shout Outs - Happy Belated Birthday To Koda/SY
- Happy Early Birthday To Jess (since I will be at her house and wont be able to type it then)
Oh, Yes... I almost forgot... I will kill all of my friends that drove by me today after school while I was waiting at the bus stop... why will I kill them do you ask... because they had the nerve to laugh at me!!! and they didn't even bother to offer me a ride :( ... I'm pretty sure the car was full... but still!!!
