one direction? yes, please. :)
Heeeeey! Soooo, since I've been bored, just chillin at home by myself every single day of life, i've taken to drawing some stuff.... mostly 1D stuff, yes. and since i have nothing better to do with my pictures, i decided that i would post them on here. hope you enjoy them. i like them quite a lot, if i'm honest. :)
this one i thought was pretty cool. while not real creatively written, i like the finish of it. i'm pretty sure it's all legible, so i won't write it out here too. for this one, i wrote a paragraph using all of the titles of the boys songs. (from their first ever album, Up All Night, go buy it, it's great) i thought it was pretty clever. :)
and finally, this one i didn't actually create myself. i saw it online and wanted to draw it for myself, so that's what i did. i made it sort of my own by changing up some of the lettering and stuff, and i love it. i think it's pretty darn cute, if i don't say so myself. :)
anywhooo, that's about it. i just wanted to get my stuff on here before i forgot. i love it, a lot, i hope you do tooooo! :)

oh goodness, gracious! i miss my friends! now that school is over, i had no idea that i'd miss school and my friends this fast! i haven't even been out for a month and i miss it. and i miss dancing :( a lot. dancing has been a part of my life since i was a wee one, at the grand age of 7. i dunno what i'm gonna do without it all summer! i guess i'll have to play just dance so i can at least feel like it's still around! i hope i can join the dance team at uni next year! i know they have one, and i would be so happy if i could join it! it would complete my next 4 years! speaking of university, i'm so excited!!!!!!!!! i can't wait for all the new activities, the new freedom and independence. i know i'll miss my parents as soon as i leave, but they'll only be 2 hours away, so i think i can handle it. i know there will be a lot of work with in that new freedom, but i'm willing to do whatever i can to keep up my marks. i've always been a straight 90's girl, so i hope i can keep that going. after all, it did earn me the president's scholarship of distinction, which is the highest one the school offers. prettty awesome, eh? i know! i was surprised tooo! can't believe it! anywho, the week of graduation was crazy! prom, graduation, safe grad. i slept the days in between. holy frig, i don't know how i survived it. so crazy busy, but so exciting! i went to prom with one of my best friends, who, inconveniently has a girlfriend. it's definitely not inconvenient cause i want to date him or anything (been there, done that), cause i most assuredly don't. he's just one of my best friends. we've been friend since i was like 13 and i don't see him like that. plus, he's a ginger, and alisha doesn't do ginger. it's was friggin sad though. she was eyeing me up and down like i was gonna try to take him away and never let her see him again. i was like, frig, grow up girl. i've dated him before, don't want to go there again. ever. not on my life. it was awful. he didn't even stay for the dance part of prom. just cause she was there. it's alright though, cause i'm sure i had more fun by myself anyway. and it meant that i didn't have to worry about him after prom either, for prom party i mean, cause i definitely didn't want him there with me. whatever though. i still had a great time !
wellllllll, it's definitely been an interesting year! i can't believe i've graduated all ready! this past school year has just flown by! before i know it i'll be married! so crazy, man! i can't wait! i hope it great! i don't want time to fly though, so i definitely won't wish it away! i do need a job though! i don't have a life right now. honestly, i sit at home and read. i sleep. i read. i eat. that's about it, besides the occasional shower. i guess i do still go to church every week. which, by the way, i became a full member of as last sunday! sad eh, i finally become a member and i'll be leaving in less than 2 months. oh well, i guess. at least i am a member now. i'm still happy about it.
annnnd, i guess i'll be done for the night. i'm getting a little bored, and hungry, and tired. and those three things don't sit well with me, especially all at once. soo peace. <3
and, i'll leave you with my favorite song lyrics right now :)
it's from my one direction <3
It's everything about you, you, you
Everything that you do, do do
From the way that we touch baby
To the way that you kiss on me
It's everything about you, you, you
The way you make it feel new, new, new
Like every party is just us too
And there's nothing I could point to
It's everything about you, you, you
Everything about you, you, you
It's everything that you do, do do
It's everything about you.
and remember, stay true to yourself. <--- it's the best thing you can do.
Everything that you do, do do
From the way that we touch baby
To the way that you kiss on me
It's everything about you, you, you
The way you make it feel new, new, new
Like every party is just us too
And there's nothing I could point to
It's everything about you, you, you
Everything about you, you, you
It's everything that you do, do do
It's everything about you.

Reminiscing.... :)
Sooooo, last weekend I was at the Mark Harris concert in the town I live in. (Yes, Mark Harris, he's the guy that wrote all the music for the movie Courageous.) And while he was singing, I was brought back to some fond memories from this past summer.. I just thought I'd share a couple of them with you.
The first one happened when he started singing a song about love, pure love. You know the guy I told you about in my last post? Yeah, welll thiiis is about him tooo. :) The message in the song reminded me of the first time he told me he loved me. I remember it was a rainy day, a really rainy day, in Windsor, NS. We were supposed to be doing a show out in the park, but because of the rain, we moved it inside one of the nearby churches. The service was crazy good! God was doing some powerful stuff in that place! I swear, it was one of the best, most impacting services I had ever been to/taken part in. The presence of God was just so strong that we didn't want it to end! It felt absolutely amazing! So this service went on and on, and even once the people that had been there to see it, it continued for us! This guy, the one that I asked to prom, just kept playing worship songs and we just kept singing and praising! We all had our hands raised in the air, our eyes closed, and our hearts open to worship our only true God! People were laughing and crying at the same time! We were all so overwhelmed, and it was amazing! :) When we finally came the end of our night and were about to head back to our billets houses, we were all standing outside in the rain before getting in our cars. He called me over to talk to him. He was like, "Heyyy Alisha, come here". So, naturally, I did. He grabbed on to my shoulders when I was standing in front of him, looked into my eyes and said, "I was really encouraged by you tonight." And I was like, "Thanks, it was awesome of you to keep playing for us," alll embarrassed that he had been watching me. And he was like, "thanks, I enjoyed it". Then he pulled me into a hug, and btw, he's like a good 8-10 inches taller than me, so face was buried in his chest, and he says, "I love you, I really do." And I was like shocked. I was not expecting that to come out of his mouth. I leaned back, looked at him and said, "I love you too." :) I was soo soo sooooo happpy! Not because he said it, but because I know he meant it. And it's a pure love, a love that comes from God. <3
Love like that makes me realize that as long as this love stays pure, like described in these next verses found in 1 Corinthians 13,
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
that as long as we both continue to trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then we'll have nothing to worry about. If we're meant to be together, it will happen. That never failing love will prosper and we'll be as happy as we'll ever be able to be. God will be first in our lives, and He'll never fail us! And you know what, even if we don't end up getting together, God has someone better for each of us out there, and that in itself is crazy to think! No matter what He has planned for us will be satisfying. If His plans are what we want for our lives, then where ever the road takes us, easy of difficult, He'll guide us through it, and we'll always have peace. :) This excites me soo much! It's just so hard to believe, and so so amazing at the same time! I honestly can not wait to find out what He's got planned for the two of us, together or apart.
Anywaysss, have a gooood day! :)
I hope you enjoyed my little story time, cause I absolutely love reminiscing about happy times like this!
Until next time, peace out !
alisha :)
PS. There is another story, about how we came about finding out that we're gonna get married, and it's awesome :) I can't waiiit to see if it's actually going to come true! :)
PPS, throughout the process of writing this, this guys name popped up on my screen at least 6 times :) js. (maybe it's a sign ;) )

Right reasons?
There's the other guy. The one I actually like at the moment. He's one of my best friends, but he doesn't live near me. He was on my team this summer, so I got to know him pretty well. I like him, like I like him a lot. And by a lot, I mean, I would actually marry him. Like right here, right now, if he asked me to marry him, I would say yes, not a moment hesitation. Sounds like I'm a little in over my head, doesn't it? And yes, I am. I don't know what to do! I've fallin for him so badly. Big problem too! His dad is the president of the University I'm going to in the fall. He'll still be in high school next year, so I feel like it would be wrong to go there for both of those reasons. Right now, I don't feel like he's the reason I want to go there, I want to be there to serve God and find my way to reach out to people full-time for the rest of my life, but I don't want him to ever be the only reason why I'm there. I'm really worried that it could happen and it scares me! I mean, I guess if I'm there for the right reasons and I am supposed to be with him in the end, it'll work itself out, right? Yes. I think it will. If those are the plans that God has for us and for me, then it will. I have complete faith that He'll provide what I need, especially if this guy is that. :)
And I asked him to come to prom with me too... He lives like 2 and half hours away, so it's really complicated. He didn't say no, and he didn't say yes. He said he's not against to coming, but I live so far away that it would be hard for him to get here for it. And his parents need to say yes too. He'll be 17 this year, so I think he can decide for himself, but I guess it does make sense if he can't quite drive himself here. I'll go get him if I need to, but I don't want to force it on him. I need him to decide for himself, and let me know, but it's just such a hard topic to randomly bring up. Frig, I'm so confused. I feel like it might be easier just to take one of my guy friends from here, but I want him to come. He's worried that dancing might get awkward, but in my opinion, nothing's awkward until you make it awkward. I think it would be fine, but I'm not about it try to make him say yes. I guess I just need to let things work themselves out. If he comes, he comes, but if he doesn't, he doesn't, and I guess I'll have to live with it. Anyways...

Boys... Gotta love 'em... Or not.
Alright, so there's this guy, who happens to be my ex.. I mean, it's not like we dated a long time, it was very brief, trust me, but he drives me nuts! Like seriously, he annoys the crap outta me! Every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him. And I know what you're thinking. He can't be that bad, can he? Yes, he actually can. Honestly! It's that bad! I look at him, and bam, I'm annoyed. He doesn't even need to actually start talking and I'm already going crazy! And I can't avoid him! He's friggin everywhere! I go to school, he's there. I go to church, he's there. I go to bowling, he's there! I can't escape his dreadful presence! Like this week, I didn't even have school, but he still managed to annoy me. Last summer, we did this summer team thing, there are two teams, and, of course, I got stuck with him. Our team is having a reunion in like three weeks and I have to take him to it. It's a three hour drive, where I can't avoid him!!!!!! I know, I know! Just say you can't take him, or tell him you're not going. But, I can't! I don't wanna take him, but if I don't, he can't go. I don't wanna be the reason he can't go see what was his team too. I'd be one of the biggest jerks around! So you see, I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! I'm basically being forced ! Like taken against my own will, forced!
Oh, and to make matters worse, he felt the need to post in our group message that he was going with me. Doesn't sound that bad, right? Oh but it is! The team obviously found out we dated once and made a big deal out of it. They made fun of me all the time, like everyday, ALL summer long! I was like, frig man, why would you do that?! They're just going to make fun of me even more now! I mean, I didn't actually say that to him, cause he didn't know they made fun of me, but come on, like dude, even you're not THAT stupid. Obviously they would make fun of me for ever going there with you... Needless to say, Alisha is not a happy camper. Oh yes, and there's more! The reunion happens to be on my birthday weekend! I was looking forward to going and having a stress free weekend without him, visiting my team, and celebrating my birthday happily. But no, I guess Alisha doesn't get her wish to have an ex free 18th birthday. Lovely, eh? Instead, I have to spend three hours in a car with him, and then put up with him the next THREE days! The WHOLE time! I can't friggin catch a break.
Another thing! Every Sunday at bowling, he feels the need to friggin touch me! I'm ticklish as heck, and he knows, so of course he does it all the time! I get soooooooo mad! I HATE when people touch me. Period. And it's not just him, it's everyone, but with him it's like a million times worse! And I can only tolerate it for so long. I'm like stop, seriously, just stop. My mom will be sitting right there telling him to stop, but does he? Of course not. He doesn't know limits! There are already rumors going around school about him, and with his touching problem, they just look even worse. And so, eventually if gets bad enough that I am actually formulating a plan to cut off his arms without getting in trouble for it. Sometimes it gets so awful that I honestly wouldn't care if I got in trouble for doing it! I would willing go to prison for the rest of my life it meant escaping his annoying presence! And girls like me wouldn't last in prison! I know it sounds like I'm overreacting, but if you met him, you'd understand my point. I'm not overreacting in the slightest. He's so dumb. And he has no common sense, or any clue of how to make conversation with people without making himself look like a complete, arrogant, cocky, arsehole. His attitude would be enough to make me want to knock him upside of the head. He says some of the stupidest things, and then I'm like, dude, why did you just say that? You just made yourself look like an idiot. But why should I care? I'm not the one that looks stupid right now, cause I'm not the one that half mental. Whatever though..

Who am I?
Oh heyy guys,
How's everyone? Good, I presume! :) And I guess I'm not doing too bad myself. I'm starting this blog as a way to relieve myself of stress, get some ranting going, without causing any unnecessary drama, cause that's dumb. Anywho, about me. I think the best way to do this, cause it'll be more interesting, is listing some fun facts.
1. I'm 17 atm (18 in like 2 weeks)
2. My birthday's February 16th ^ look abovee, duhhh
3. Ohh, my name's Alisha. That's a good one :)
4. I'm 5'2. Shortness runs in my father's side.
5. I love to dance! All the time! I dance in the grocery store, and my mom gets embarrassed to be there with me.
6. My hair's brownish, blondish, with a touch of red in the sun. (And yes, it's completely natural)
7. I'm a bowler. And no, bowling isn't just for old people. I love it, and I must say, I'm pretty dang good. (I hold the top female record for my province and am the youngest to ever do it. 412, yes, that's REALLY good!) just take my word for it.
8. My parents have been happily married for 23 years in May, and I'm proud to say that.
9. I'm graduating in June! Then heading off to Uni, finally :)
10. I could sleep ALL the time. Seriously, just ask my parents. It's what I do best :)
11. I actually like school... sadly. Reading this, you may not think I'm a very smart person, but I actually am, most of the time. I love math, and physics, and I'm taking level 1 English. Unbelievable, eh? :) (I still don't know why...)
12. Sometimes I say things I shouldn't, and tend to be too proud to take it back.
13. I love seeing other people smile and laugh! :) I always feel better when other people are happy!
14. Concerts are my thing! I can't even say how many I've been to in the past like 5 years. Mosh pits are where it's at! I may be short and little, but I always find my way to the front ! :)
15. Oh yes, can't believe I almost forgot this, well you know what they say, gotta leave the very best for the very last! I LOVE JESUS! <3<3<3 a lot a lot a lot!!!!!
I'm very exited to start this blog! I'm going to use it as a means to vent, where people won't see it, or just won't know the real people/problem. I'll probs also do some random advice blogs, and some other stuff in there! :)
Love ,
alisha :)

I'm very exited to start this blog! I'm going to use it as a means to vent, where people won't see it, or just won't know the real people/problem. I'll probs also do some random advice blogs, and some other stuff in there! :)
Love ,
alisha :)
