It's Lysky's day at last!

Hello girlies!
It is finally Wednesday! I have been so eager to get to post my first blog in this project. It's just an awesome idea. I made myself go to bed before midnight because I knew if I stayed up I would want to write it that night when I'm way tired instead of right now, when I'll enjoy it more. Not to mention, my grammar is considerably better in the afternoon, opposed to midnight.

Anyway, I guess I should tell you about myself. My name is Alyssa, I live in Kansas with my dad. It's not too bad, I'm not in the country. It seems to me that when you say you live in Kansas people will picture wizard of oz, you know, the whole farm scene. Which really isn't true. It's total suburbia. I adore music. It is my love. My favorite band for the last several years has been The Academy is. I adore them. I've seen them three times now I think. They're lovely. A few of my other favorites include All left out, armor for sleep, Cobra starship, cute is what we aim for, four word cause, Kill Hannah, The Klaxons, Ludo, Marianas Trench, and Placebo. I love finding new music all the time as well. My music list isn't quite as impressive as Melissa's but I have 2172 songs on my ipod right now. Although I do have four cds I still need to upload. That still isn't going to push me to the 3600 mark. Anyway. I'm rambling about music. I apologize.

I'm 17 and about to go into my senior year. I have to admit, I am a little nervous about this. It's a transition period in my life and honestly I am not entirely sure where to go after this. I will probably end up going to a local college. My aim in life is to become a musician or writer, the latter being the more lifely of the two. I play violin, guitar, keyboard, sing, and I've dabbled in a few other things. I also act. Acting is so amazingly fun, but a profession I don't think I'd be able to get into.

I think I'm going to move on to the questions now.

1. Who are your heroes?
My fictional hero is Lani Garver. My real life hero is my dad. He's pulled me out of some bad situations in my life. I don't know where I would be without him. Well, I do, but I don't know what state I would be in.

2. What's your favorite pair of shoes to wear?
Slip-on vans. They're so incredibly comfortable. I've got several pairs of those.

3. What's your favorite book?
Tyler, why would you pick such a hard question?! There's sooo many! I think my absolute favorite will always be What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci. I've read it like five times, and it never looses it's charm. As soon as I finish I want to re-read because I feel like I'm missing my best friend or something. A few of the other essentials to my home library include Harry Potter, The twilight series [yum], and Some day this pain will be useful to you by Peter Cameron

4. Name something really random that you love/love to do.
Chapstick. I know it's wierd. But I have an obsession with chapstick. I wish I was kidding with you, but seriously... I have so much. I also really love making playlists like Melissa. I like making mix cds and introducing people to new music because I am a collector of beautiful sounds. I could probably rattle off 20 bands no has ever heard of that are just awesome.

So now I shall go back to reading my current book. The disreputable history of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart [totally makes me think of Gildaroy Lockhart] If anyone has read this and has a review, let me know.

So, DFTBA girlies and I look forward to your blog tomorrow Chelsea, and of course everyone else's.
