Oh man this is so embarrassing.... I recorded a song with my roommate a while back and we never got a chance to redo it or edit it or anything. Im only posting to try and get over my fear of singing in public. Im not great or anything but I want to be able to ENJOY an open mic, or karaoke night, instead of sweating the whole time begging for it to be over... So here it is... raw, one take... me singing a wonderful song by Gregory & The Hawk (sorry to all the rock and hip hop fans, this is just a simple acoustic song):

Hello ello my few lovely readers. I haven't posted in a few days, so I thought I would share with you one of the things I do to myself when I get bored... (I know I know, I still haven't stopped drawing on myself... But I like the idea of temporary tattoos)

It started out as just one word, but then it slowly blossomed into this entire madonna-esque henna hand glove design thingy. I know its kinda hard to see, it's hard taking a picture of your hand in bad lighting...

Okay okay, I know I look silly here, but I just wanted to show it off, alright?

Took a pic of what I did on my leg with my camera phone, but when I took a pic of THAT it was too bright to see so I added it in myself later... yup yup. I actually kinda like the way it all turned out. I know Im no henna pro, but Im thinking of starting a henna themed line of jewelry. What do you think, yay or nay?

Last night I was freezing freezing freezing, and realised that Id forgotten to turn the heat on (grr). I was too cold at first to get out from under my covers and fix it, but I did eventually.

Anyway, I woke up early this morning, and to my great suprise, it snowed!
I didnt really notice it at first, it wasnt a lot of snow, but I was washing one of my dishes when I looked out the window and the ground looked different. I honestly had no idea what it was ha! But the thought of snow slowly creeped into my mind.

So I open the door, and what do I find?

I keep hearing about snow storms happening all around. I really hope nothing like that comes this way, but if I lose power or anything, im prepared:

Im begining to think that I may not actually be going home for christmas. If I get this job I am applying for, I don't know if I will have any time off or how long it may be if I do. I am still hoping for the best, however. Goodnight everyone, sleep well...

A friend of mine bought me the first two books in this series of four titled Twilight by Stephenie Meyer almost 6 or 7 months ago. It is an easy read, and a pretty interesting story, so if you are interested in vampires and the average girls who love them, then this is a book for you. I wouldnt say it is at all like Harry Potter, but I am almost certain these books will have the same audience.

I had no clue this series was being made into a movie...
I don't know if it is just based off of the first book, or all four, so I think I will wait to finish them all before I go out and watch it.

And incase anyone is interested, here is a Paramore video I found. Apparently, they REALLY wanted to be a part of the movie, so they wrote this song for it and basically begged to get it in the movie, I guess it worked:

I just found out that Bettie Page, the queen of Pin-ups, died on the 11th after having a heart attack nine days earlier. It's so sad, even if she lived to be 85 and died peacefully.

I doubt I would ever be comfortable flaunting myself like she did,
much less how women do it now...
I cannot image what life must have been like for her.
Bettie had a lot of courage, and I think that is admirable :)

Goodbye Bettie, you will be missed ♥

I got a text from a friend tonight telling me to go outside and look at the moon.
So I ventured out into the cold to see what was to be seen, and I couldn't believe how big and bright it looked!

So I grabbed my camera, and this is what happend:

You really should see it for yourself. And yea, I did actually hang my clothes out there until finally getting a dryer just last week.

It's been raining pretty much all day. And I bet the postman left the mailbox open again (Grr).
Days like these always make me want to just sit back and relax. I wish you could see the view outside my window, my camera doesn't do landscape very well though, but I suppose there are special lenses for that.

Im listening to Pocket Full of Sunshine by Natasha Beddingfield, because even though I love a rainy day, I could really use some more sun. It's pretty cold here in Tennessee right now. So I went to walmart and bought some new threads:

(Self Portrait Opportunity)

Bought this pretty black mug for just a dollar (score)!
That is fozen yogourt inside, and yes it is delish.

I keep messing around with my layout. I want it to be simple looking, but at the same time not boring... So I am going with a Dark background and some colorful fonts, hope you like :)

Enjoy your Sunny, Snowy, or Rainy day!

Hey. Hi. Hello There.

Hello.

My name is Allyson Michelle.

You can call me Ally, AllyEmm, Allybaba, or Allybama.

I am TWENTY years old. Currently living anywhere and everywhere.

Not too sure what I am going to use this blog for yet.

It will most likely become my photo blog.

I am a practicing photohrapher amongst other things.

I enjoy taking pictures as a hobby only, I have a simple Point and Shoot

digital camera, Canon PowerShot A640.

It isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done.

I am also into Arts & Crafts.

I mainly create Jewelry and other Accessories,

but every now I then I like to try different things like Soap & Candle making, Bookbinding, etc.

I am addicted to the internet, it is unfortunate, but at the same time, there is so much that the internet has to offer! I play games, discover new music, stay in contact with friends and family, purchase things that I can't find anywhere around me, sell things, meet new people, watch tv, learn new recipes, job hunt, apartment hunt, roommate hunt.... I think you get the idea.

I have no clue who is going to read this, but I do hope you enjoy your stay, and maybe learn something new. The holidays are coming, so I hope you are prepared!
