Melted Joy

So I got super excited that it is possible to use my schools meal plan dollars on the vending machines

Drunk with power, I decided to purchase the 100 Grand candy bar I had been staring at literally every single time I went into or out of my dorm.

Then there was also a large Kit-kat bar, of which our tale spurts from

Now I don't often get these large Kit-Kats, either I must be satisfied with "fun-sized" bars split a full sized bar with my family, which is fine

But this large candy bar was special.

Now I bought this as I was leaving for a movie.

Now where do i put my Kit-Kat

In my nifty pocket of course

Well, turns out chocolate tends to melt

Yes, my candy melted.

But I wasn't going to let my dollar fifty go to waste. I could just put it in my freezer!

(Actually I ended up getting back to my dorm, falling asleep, then waking up and realizing it was still in my pocket. So when i got ready for bed and put it in the freezer it was well and truly melted. So much so that I had to try and move the wafers back inside into straight lines.)

This was the result the next day.

Honestly better than I expected

the chocolet formed in weird patterns around the wafers

But the real test was did it still taste good?

(Spoiler Alert: Obviously NO)

JK, it was delicious still

Although it, didn't have that satisfying break off, so I couldn't mimic the grand Kit-Kat jingle, 

and the wafers really weren't attached and kinda flaked away.

But rest assured it still tasted good!

Have I made you jealous yet?

Because right now I don't have a Kit-Kat and I am jealous of my past self, who did have one....

Believe

Believe in Magic

Because what else is there to believe in?

Why, yourself my dearest

Wow

So I didn't post anything yesterday, not to be mellow dramatic, but I have fail.

It's all over.....

On the note of being dramatic,
Some guy told me the other day that I was "like the fifth white Ally" he has met

Naturally I didn't take this too kindly.

So I have decided that I need a new nick-name.

Here are some options:

Any thoughts?

(I actually have deleted some of these already but what do you think friends?)

I may have stumbled on a cult....

So I was sitting in the Student Center at about 7:30 pm studying.....
                                       (I promise this will get more interesting)

Not many people were around - this made me (the anti-socialite) pretty happy.

Then two guys in suits came up and shook the hand of one of the faculty members who was sitting on the other side of the room. They were holding clip boards and phones, and were wearing suit, tie, the whole shebang. The faculty member took them into the multipurpose room next to me

The "multipurpose room" is where all the special guests who visit our university preform.

So I was thinking that 'Ooh maybe these are agents for a famous person coming to visit!"
There was only one problem,

These two guys looked really young. Now I didn't want to be hasty to ruin my dream and make an assumption, but they looked like they were sophomore or juniors.

But in the fantasy land where I live, they were agents for famous people.

That's when hordes of guys in ties and button-up shirts started filling in.

Oh

Its just a frat meeting.

In this group I saw one of my bio lab table mates
(earlier he was complaining about having to stay at school till 8pm. WELL son I NEVER leave, I literally eat, sleep, and breath this campus whether I like it or not....so there)

Once the stream of people I was subtly trying to spy on stopped, I went back to my studying.

That's when the chanting started.

As I snuck past the door when I got up to leave they were standing there with bowed heads and arms crossed in front of them.

They are 100% running a cult under the guise of a fraternity.

Now back to my lovely biology-table-mate...

He totally seems like he would be in a cult.

...Not that I know what someone in a cult would be like.....

but for the sake of the insanity of this fantasy - he's totally it

                                                   you'll just have to take my word for it.

I'm a jedi!

"With you the force is Ally!"

I'm a Jedi!!

A cartoonist came to our school, and I was standing in line for about 45 minutes when a volunteer came over and said only 8 more people get to go. I was number 8 o_O

Anyway, people didn't get out of line behind me, hoping they could get squeezed in. But it was already 9:00, and that was when the booth closed.

I was about to give up, but my lovely suitemate convinced me just to hang out and see what happened.

People were getting antsy, and closing in around me.

Then some faculty member came by and told the artist that he was off

I was about to be disappointed (except you can see by the photo above....)

WELL,

The artist said he had agreed to do 8 more, and so he had two people to go

I was number two!

(There was one girl who complained loudly the entire time about how she isn't going to get one, she was originally 3 people behind me. Also how good everyone's looked and how one more wouldn't be a problem...)

And most of the people in front of me had gotten themselves drawn as a princess, sports star, or the profession they planned to go into.

I wanted to be a Jedi

Obviously

As I sat there I was unsure where to look.

Do I look at the artist?

Do I look straight ahead?

Do I look down?

I also tried to peer into his sunglasses to try and see the paper, but the image was too warped.

All I had to go on was the reactions of the three people watching him draw. They all agreed that the eye was the best, and most realistic. And then they would be like "Aw" or "wow", as I sat there wondering.

After seeing it I absolutely LOVE it!! 

I plan on framing it.

I even got the comment it looks like Rey a bit, and obviously she is amazing.

Package Adventure

The best feeling in the world while at college is getting a package.

Walking from the mail room triumphantly hanging on to a brown unassuming parcel. 

But inside holds a jackpot, of unknown goodies to fuel my poor starving scholars heart, belly and imagination.

Jealous and curious glances are cast as I prance up the stairs to my dorm hall prize in hand.

I fling open the door and place my prize on my bed; Hardly able to contain my excitement I snip open the tape, dumping out my loot.

As far as food my lovely sisters contribution to the package was a werthers candy (arguably her favorite candy - so she will miss the loss, of course it could be a million years old and she no longer wants it, but it was delicious all the same) thanks Paige.

Jello!

A triumphant prize.

Unfortunately I have no bowl big enough to hold all the jello...

But no fear! Problem solving skills dictate that a collection of mugs and bowls should solve the capacity problem. (and who said college never taught us anything)

Why is there a racecar in this conglomeration of stuff Ally?

-you may ask

Well....

Its a phone...

Obviously

Also,

A racecar phone.

Cause obviously how will I be the coolest kid in college without a corded phone in the shape of a racecar?

But honestly, I would totally use it, except the phone jack in my room doesn't work, leading to sadness.

Also socks

Which in it self isn't that odd

I did ask for socks, along with my charger an an Ethernet cable (as seen in the top photo)

The odd part is that there is 5 socks.

So since one dosen't have a pair, I can just keep one in my backpack for emergencies.

Thanks for the package Mom and Dad!

Love, Ally

Internal Monologue

Hmm, So I've written a post today I just saved it as a draft to be published on another (special) day *wink wink. (Ok, its not that special don't get excited, its actually only two lines...)
But that counts as my post-for-the-day right?

Uhh, no I suppose not....

I don't actually know why I'm complaining about this....
I do enjoy having a blog, despite it maybe being a abnormal thing, or potentially "nerdy" thing to do (not that I have ever been ashamed to be called a nerd)
And it's not like anyone really reads my blog except when I forcibly share the links to me amigas.

But for whatever reason I still won't tell anyone about my corner of the internet for feat of being "weird".

Basically its all societies fault.

Ok just kidding.

Anyway today was just me venting a problem to the internet.

Because the best ways to deal with problems is to

1. Ignore them until they go away
2. And rant about them on the internet

Right?

Nothing will go wrong....

Tomorrow we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming of random pictures, and college shenanigans!

but since i have a random blog, I though why not use it to release steam....

Well....

I have nothing to say today.
But I kinda wanted to put up a post every week, I haven't made it a week so this is NO time to give up!

Alas, I have a human biology test tomorrow,
and don't feel like spending an hour thinking of a witty post.

So have a nice day,
Get a good nights sleep,
Pet a dog.

Digital Art #1

So my senior year of high school I started to learn (and by learn I mean I started to mess around with sketchbook) and I wanted to learn Digital Art. Because personally I think drawing digitally is a lot of fun, and potentially gorgeous.

Now this was my first major project using a drawing tablet.

So its not amazing

But I did improve, and I hope to get the opportunity to practice with digital art again

Stay tuned for some of my better projects.....

But for now, here is the picture I just stumbled upon on my computer.
Currently I shudder a bit at the perspective on the desk....But I still do think the concept is cool, and the chalk looks fairly decent.

College Adventures full of Hair?

OH Hi!

So I wanted to straighten my hair the other day.....

But obviously as a lazy college student/anti-socialite couldn't be bothered to go into the shared bathroom.

Unfortunately I do not have a mirror in my room. SO being the fantabulous problem solver I am I used my web camera on my laptop as a mirror.

Now as I was staring at the camera for the long process that I was straightening my luscious mane of hair. And documented the process.

Now in retrospect I realize that I made the same face in all of the pictures....

Also, the quality of the picture is questionable (this is a laptop camera so, not an amazing DSLR).

And the lighting is terrible, sorry I was merely sitting at my desk.

I didn't want to put the burning hot straighter on my wooden desk, so here it is in a coffee mug.

Here I just look funny with half a head of straight hair and the other half a glorious mess.

Again though with the pursed lips and wide eyes, really Ally?

See, using a web camera worked Amazingly!

 I feel I am a proficient adult now and should just be handed a college degree.....or at least a scholarship award....sigh

The Black Hole that is Facebook

This is what happens every time I go on Facebook

I get caught up in the black hole that is Facebook and can't stop going on, stalking *cough* I mean seeing what my sorta friends are up to

But....

Sooner or later

Crippling regret hits me, and I realize how boring my life is, or think "Why on Earth did I ever think that this was a good idea to put online?"

Here is a picture of me with crippling regret hiding under a blanket drinking vanilla honey chamomile tea.

And the worst part (especially with someone with chronic indecision) is that any tiny little action taken on Facebook is broadcast out to any ole friend of mine to see. So I can't change a million things or take back what I did 20 seconds ago without these friends seeing, and possibly getting annoyed if I change a million things a million times.

And I use friend loosely, these include distant second cousins I've met once, people I knew when I was in fourth grade, and people from my high school that I have never actually talked to.

So if I post something people who knew me would understand, but not these other "friend-posers"  two days later I can't just change my profile picture again, when I realize what a stupid idea making my Facebook picture a stone statue of Michelangelo is.

Sounds cool right? Well, I thought so until now I have to message someone about a club at my college and want to appear semi-normal/cool. I am at least attempting to make friends at college.

And I can't change it because some random people from my high school have liked it (why I will never know I originally wanted a random picture that I can casually leave from months while I am MIA on Facebook I didn't think anyone would actually click the LIKE button!) so now I know it was noticed and it would probably be annoying to change again.

Plus, I tend to get annoyed with close up pictures of my actual face. 

I changed this picture just yesterday

and already regret my life.

And yes I am aware people should "accept you for who you are" Yeah well, this is a first impression I'm trying to ease them slowly into my interesting sense of humor

Can you tell I'm overthinking this?

No one else seems to understand my pain!

But I suppose that's what all people say...

Moral of the story is: Be yourself and Forget the everything else?

Nah,

It's "Ally you should delete your Facebook while you are still semi-sane"

But we all know that's not gonna happen

So stay tuned in about 5 months when this mental crisis happens again!

Journaling #2

Who doesn't like an old-fashioned turkey hand kindergarten style?

The page on the left is made by tracing a hand (yours or another persons) in multiple spots on the page overlapping, then coloring in each section. No section can touch another section of the same color. So a box colored in yellow will not touch another yellow area on any side. Although you might notice I did touch light blue to dark blue and diagonal colors touch each other. Produces hours of relaxing fun!

Journal Wrecking #1

I don't know about anyone else but I like snooping on other people's creative journal spreads. When I first got this book: Wreck this Journal by Keri Smith. I spent so much time scrolling down pictures of different things people's journal wrecking.

So here is my very first journal page entry.

Have you ever found yourself in public without a phone?

Cheesy Jokes
to hopefully brighten your day!!
