I'm an Irritable Grizzly! Type: Blog Date: 28 Jul 2008

Success! That YouTube group, Da Irritable Grizzlies is now officially launched, we're heading into our third week, in fact. So, I have joined four other lovely girls, Claire, Ellie, Stephanie, and Marion in vlogging about Twilight. How awesome is this going to be? Pretty darn awesome! We also have an official site to go along with the YouTube page. So check that out.
And, breaking dawn is soon going to be MINE! Okay, mine and the rest of the country, but you know what I mean.

Well, I can do something right. Type: Blog Date: 22 Jun 2008

So, Team Twilighter was a failure for me. But, definitely congrats do go to the girls (and guy) who did make it. And because I cannot be deterred I have joined forces with other Team Twilighter rejects to form our own group... Da Irritable Grizzlies. We're still working on getting everything set up, so there's not much to see yet. But hopefully it will be teeming with all sorts of good stuff soon, like the website I'm working for it.
Another aspect in which I have not failed, I applied for an account on a Twilight fanfiction and fanart site using the drawing of Bella and Edward in the car before prom. I'm in the first wave of artists so I should be posting that drawing sometime soon after the 25th of July. Now, to see if I can come up with anything else to add to that. We shall see.

I could sing Type: Art Date: 13 Jun 2008

Yay! I'm done. The site is complete because I have just finished the art page. There's only 4 pieces up, but that's that.
This year I took a Digital Design class and I don't have very much to show for it that I feel like putting up here, so that's part of the reason. The pre2008 stuff is from last years Drawing and Painting class. Next year is Design in Ceramics, so we'll see how that goes.
The newest drawing was something I did because I was bored. It's a colored pencil drawing of Bella and Edward based of pictures of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson who are going to play the characters in the new Twilight movie coming out in December. Bella is kinda, eh in the drawing, but I do love Edward. And the words around their heads are lines from the book when they are in Edward's "special occasion" car.

The Artists... will kill you Type: Writing Date: 11 Jun 2008

Ok, new/old story. This is a vocab story I had to write for my Lit class. And, um, it's prolly the one of the suckier ones that I did, and I know suckier isn't a word.
Basically, the reason it's sort of a depressing story is because the vocab words were kinda downers. Like... abyss, precarious, mortification, havoc... like, come on!
So, everyone dies at the end. Ohhhhhhhh?! Now you wanna know how they died, ya? Well, you can read it, and while you're at it, read the other ones, they're better.

Title: The Artists
Date: June 1, 2008
Description: The world is a wild canvas. *Horrible story alert* Vocab words are underlined.

I kissed a girl... Type: Blog Date: 10 Jun 2008

...and I liked it. That song is everywhere lately, especially my head. It's kind of disconcerting when I'm singing it to myself, but I can't help it.
So, anyways, isn't this nifty, I've finally, finally figured out cutenews and ftp. Thank God for Firefox! So, now you can leave comments, for the whole .5 of you reading. But seriously, I've been trying to figure these out for sooooo long, and I never knew it would be so easy with Firefox.
Um, I was going to say something meaningful here.... Well, there are over 60 auditions for Team Twilighter and the competition is pretty darn fierce. My chances are looking pretty slim. But there are some pretty good videos, I would advise that everyone subscribe, because whoever is chosen will be A-mazing. Although, I must say for myself, I did make it into the trailer, it's pretty embarrassing. I would prolly say it's the most embarrassing thing I've ever done on camera, including the time I picked that wedgie during a dance recital in, like, Kindergarten. But, maybe if Katie found that amusing I have some what of a chance, fingers crossed, I suppose.
Ps: The dates are all screwy on the previous posts, so don't mind that.

Readdddddddd! Type: Books Date: 11 Jun 2008

Oh, baby, it's nine o'clock exactly. Anyways, while, I was originally going to try to put as many books in the books section, I've given up, it's just too much. So, I'm sticking with what I have, which would be the books I've read since April-ish, plus the Harry Potter books, because I just have to have those there.
Also, I thought I would add that I am attempting to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Spanish. I'm into chapter 3, it's a real experience :P
And while I'm at it, my summer reads...
1. Breaking Dawn- Stephenie Meyer
2. A Prayer for Owen Meany- John Irving
3. Bourne Identity- Robert Ludlum
4. Dragonfly in Amber- Diana Gabaldan
5. The Last Summer (of You and Me)- Ann Brashares

Chugging Along Type: Blog Date: 11 Jun 2008

Everything but art and books are done. I still haven't decided how I want to organize the art, so that's why that isn't done, plus I'm still trying to work out the lightbox thing, but I might have to abandon that and go all old fashion, click the link to see the bigger image. And books, well, that will be a long going project. Might take me a few weeks, not really sure yet. But, in case you were wondering there are, I think 3 actual entries, under 'G,''H,' and 'M.'
And speaking of M (for Meyers in this case) I have a bit to say about Twilight. Firstly, I want to mention Twilight Guy, aka Kaleb Nation. Very funny entries, I support him, 100%. More guys should read it, of course. And the other stories he has posted of other guys who have gotten into it are great. And on another Twilight note, I've been toying with the idea with auditioning for Team Twilighter. If I did, and I mean audition not made it into the six, it would be my shining moment of dorkiness, I really mean it. Here's a quote from the page to sum it up: "Team Twilighter is a Vlogging channel where seven fans of the Twilight saga will create their videos for their day, informing the YouTube crowd of anything and everything Twilight, seven days a week!" We shall see about that....

La Primera! Type: Blog Date: 11 Jun 2008

Ok, so, hey there. First post, nifty, eh? Hello, Paloma! In case you are reading this, because chances are you will be the first one to read it. Do you feel special? You should. Oh, wait, you too Joseph. Maybe you.
So, this is Alison with a Y, aka Alyson and hopefully this site will be home to all my creative junk and maybe just my general junk. We will see. That's me, over there to the left, all vectorized. And I love the fonts of the title and the links, it gives me, prolly, a weird amount of joy to see all the pretty words.
Ta for now, I have a lot of organizing and putting togethering to do. Wish me luck. And in case you were wondering that is a picture of a girl and a ship and a bottle of champagne. Nice send off, don't you think?
