The Big Apple...dipped in chocolate?

So I went to New York this past Thanksgiving week. It was so much fun!! I got to see a Broadway show and go to the Rockettes' Christmas performance. Times Square was amazing, of course. There were huge, flashing billboards and TALL skyscrapers.

And there was a Hershey's store! Oh my goodness. The moment I walked in I was swept away by the luscious, beautiful smell of chocolate permeating the air! I bought a mug for my dad, two pens, and multiple bags of different kinds of chocolate. The newest one they've come out with is called Bliss, they were handing it out as people walked in the door. Well, I'm sure you can imagine why it was called Bliss...I bought a whole bag of the sinful stuff.

Then I marched with my band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. That was fun. People were dancing to the music we played and doing the YMCA and yelling out "Ghost busters!"

All in all New York is quite spectacular, though I would never want to live there. Too much noise.
Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Keep safe.

New book

So i just got this new book for my birthday (Nov. 12!) and it's really cool. it's the kind of book i want to write sometime, when i get more experinced. it's called "The Sight" and it's about wolves in the Transylvanian wilderness battling the invasion of humans into their territory and one lone wolf who has a gift called the Sight.

Anywho, i got some chocolate, too, and it's really good with a good book. been reading since i'm home sick (again!) and eating yummyness!

Yaaaay quote!!!!

"I write for the same reason I breathe -- because if I didn't, I would die." - Isaac Asimov -

Oh. My. Gosh! Does this guy know what he's talking about or what!? I never knew that anyone shared my opinion or understood! My parents think I'm crazy because I "got sick" when they wouldn't let me write! I showed this quote to my mom and said "Ha! now you see. i'm not crazy. just another writer!"

this is going to be the quote of my life from now on. i love it. can't get enough of it. i'm gonna have to do some research on this Asimov guy...woah, he died the same year i was born ;)

Have a piece of chocolate, read a good book.
Ali out (and reading!) :D

Random quote because i felt like it...yay!

What is truly Original in this world anymore except yourself? Therefore, preserve that self, so that you may find you again at some later date, buried under piles of copies.

Yeah i made it up all on my own...plz don't laugh. it's kinda deep, and i believe it's true anyways...

...it's too late to concentrate on anything else. contemplate, reflect, get back to me if you want (that is, if anyone is actually reading this) good night.

ali out -.-

Yay for books and chocolate!!!

The two, by the way, go together perfectly on a rainy, cold, or just plain boring day. i must say that many, too many, of my books have chocolate smeared somewhere on the inside...
So, i just made myself a blog (finally!) and i'm sooooo excited. i've never had one before and i'm figuring it out as i go. i'll be posting poems, stories, and whatever else pops into my head at the time. like this...

rustling pages in a breeze,
sweet bitterness in my mouth
i sigh and smile,
lost in a more welcome world.
black and white letters fill my vision
invade my mind,
and linger long after i have done.

yeah i know, not that great, but it was a spure of the moment thing. Anyways, i'm soooo excited! i hope this will be fun.
