VSAF! (30 april)

note: i'm posting this late because i'm absolutely determined to catch up!

the very special arts festival is like the first piece of birthday cake, the kind with the good frosting.  its fresh, new, all your own experience and makes you want to dance around with the nearest human being/object.  vsaf, in case you are a grouch or simply ignorant and don't know,  is held annually  and it's a day for mentally handicapped and physically handicapped kids to go play for a day.  that's right. i skipped out on senior activities to go play as a disney character for a day. the theme was "wish upon a star."  well dang, wasn't that amazing?! (in case you're wondering, it was) i learned SO much from those sweet little kids. we played games, sang songs, did crafts, and had an absolutely wonderful time. pictures soon to come, if i can get any of them! 

life through a lens.

so i like to take pictures.  as previously mentioned. a lot of them are with my friends. sometimes it's just me being weird. but i have fun regardless. here are a few i took at hearst castle and on the jazz trip to slo last november. hope you like! 

  

aight.

so anyone who says the pen is mightier than the sword won't be getting my bet in a fight.  but words can be powerful and they can mean something. sometimes, words are all you've got left. see, now sometimes i can get a little philosophical on you. i don't presume to understand anything more than the average person. i just tend to get a little carried away occasionally.  well, this was rather lovely. basically my introduction of me to you. hello. i'm alysha. i'm seventeen and i think too much.  the last four years of my life were essentially laughter musicals best friends and cupcakes, with the occasional boy thrown in just for fun.  and as my friend once said, when you can fit your entire high school life in a sentence, it's time for you to move on. so i am. moving on that is. going to collage, all those fun things "grown up" people do.  going on a quick tangent ( which is a fantastic word, by the way)  i don't think you ever really "grow up".  i mean, how do you define "grown up"? i've always believed you are grown up when you have to stop telling people you are. back on track: more about me? well i'm so glad you asked. i can be conceited and i can be mean. and sometimes i don't tell people i love them as much as i should. but i also like to create, inspire, laugh, love, sing, dance awkwardly in a room full of strangers and make YOU feel like you're the only person in the world that matters. so i think i kind of balance out as far as good and evil goes.  i like to make up new songs and enjoy old ones. i like to take photographs and admire memories. and sometimes i like to be absolutely silly. but i always rock when i hug.  you know, those good hugs where you hold on extra long, but it isn't awkward at all and it's just so great and comfortable that you start dancing around?....okay so maybe you don't, but i do. and people think i'm weird for it and that's really alright with me.  because they are probably just grouches who could use a hug themselves.  well then. now that it is 12:06 on a school night, i do think it's time i should be getting to sleep.  enough of making an idiot out of me.  goodnight, love.
