12:18 pm - Wow, you're not gonna beleive this For the entire summer I've been begging for a little excitement to come my way and on Saturday at about 6PM I finally received my portion... So Jenny, Chris, Michael, and I are riding up to the lake for the weekend in Jenny's mom's Expedition (Jenny's driving) and Chris and Michael decide to shoot their fake little pellet gun at road signs to enhance the journey up 75. A little while later we pass this cop on the road that starts pullin on the highway as we pass him. He's about 4 cars back and made no attempt to get closer so we paid him little attention. A little while later we pass an on-ramp where another cop car entering the highway and ending up right next to the previous car. A few moments later we pass another cop car on the side of the road that pulls out just as we pass him. At this point we're thinking something's up and it might possibly have to do with this fake gun, but we're not really sure. So then the three cars turn on their lights and move closer to us. Once one gets right behind us we know they're for us so Jenny pulls over and we wait. And now, just as in the movies, in about a split second the three cars have four cops standing behind their doors with guns aimed at our heads!!!! Two of these guns were freaking M-16s! Not that I know a lot about guns but I know those have those nifty little lasers on them for pinpoint accuracy, and my guess was they knew how to use them, but we weren't about to test them. Basically we're freaking out but realize if we just do as they say we'll be fine. So then we hear "driver, turn the car off and throw the keys out of the car." And Jenny does so. Next he says "driver, step out of the vehicle with your hands in the air." And Jenny does so. Then we hear "come backwards to my voice...keep coming...keep coming...now down on your knees." This is entire time I'm scared out of my mind to move but I glance behind me to see that they're putting handcuffs on her!! Then they put her in the back of one of the cars and ask for Chris to step out. Same thing happens to him, then, Michael, and me. Do you know how bad that would've been if some important person or even some of our friends passed us and saw us walking backwards on the highway with our hands in the air and what, at the time seemed like an entire force of cops with their guns aimed at us?? So we're all sitting in the back of two police cars, still handcuffed, which freaking hurt!! We all still had marks on our hands the next morning. But as we're in the cars we watch them approach the car with their guns still aimed at it. The doors were all still open from when we got out but they also opened the trunk, which exposed all our lake stuff and the good amount of alcohol. That didn't help our case. They came back to the police cars and in our car the driver got in and I could've sworn we were being taking to jail or something, but then he got out and had pulled Chris and Michael out separately, questioned them, and read them their rights. Then they pulled me out and questioned me. But they had found the FAKE gun and loosened up a bit. They took our cuffs off and talked to us a little more. We weren't really sure what was gonna happen but finally they decided that we weren't gonna wreak havoc on the town with a fake gun and wrote Chris a ticket for disorderly conduct...which is the same as cussing in public. The gun was confiscated. So that's the story! And I promise all of it's true! I have to admit I've never had a gun aimed at me before. You always kinda wonder what you'd do. And I mean obviously we were dealing with sane people who weren't just gonna open fire if we didn't give them cause to, but it's amazing how controlled and overpowered you feel. One of the cops even said that if one of us had stepped out of the car with the gun in our hand we would've been shot. So lesson of the day, don't have fake guns in the car. Current Mood: excited

12:01 am - Counting down the days... There are 14 days left of school!! How amazing is that? Precisely. Let's recap on the past week's events shall we... I got to play in the Meyerson! I know most people prolly weren't too excited but I absolutely loved it. Congrats on the great review to the Mahler people. I successfully completed my 5 tests from last week, although I cannot confidently conclude that I passed all 5...further details await. With my new membership to 24-Hour Fitness I got a free session with a personal trainer!! How cool is that? So I go and of course it's this young cute guy and the first thing we do is measure all the fat on my body by him pinching and using that measurey pinchy tool. Yea, that was lovely. But after that part it got cool. Those people really know what they're talking about. He was really helpful on my back problems and now I'm all inspired to workout again, that's always a plus! And the best part, at the end he starts saying how he'd really like to schedule another hour with me cause we didn't get through everything he'd hoped to. So I'm thinking "alright, now he wants all the money I don't have" so I ask how much and he says "absolutely free" Heck yea!! I feel like O'Donnell recital hall is my second home now. I've spent way too many hours in there the past few weeks. I even finished my recital attendance a LONG time ago, so you people who's recitals I went to better feel loved that I came out of the goodness of my heart! Some honorable mentions for their fabulous recitals go to Chris, Nathan, Doug, Scott, Jeff, John, and Tim. Great job guys!! Jenny and John officially suck cause they don't have classes on Mon, Wed, or Fri next semester. Nobody like them anymore. But I guess go to their recital April 18th at 6:30. Good luck guys! :-) Yay for Easter coming up!! But more importantly, yay for Easter gigs! hehe j/k! But really, I hope you all celebrate Easter for its true meaning and realize all the great things that the Lord gives us everyday! I love ya all! That be all... Alison Current Mood: grateful Current Music: Soundtrack to Pirates since I'm watching it. :-)

10:58 pm - WE GOT THE AWESOME APARTMENT!!!!! Yep, you heard me. We got the awesome apartment I'd been talking about! The best part though is that we've got neighbors too! Kurt, JV, and Loudon got an apartment there and now Megan, Michelle, and possibly Grace! Our complex is now the cool place to be...oh you'll believe me when you come to our all-moved-in party! You'll say "wow, this is the cool place to be, better write that down." So yep! I really couldn't ask for more right now. Got to keep my roomie, added Chris F., got the coolest apartment ever, and only have two more months left of being a sophomore. It's craziness I tell you. So another horrible loss for the guys softball team. It's really not all their fault, the umps are kinda crappy, and new fake rules were formed. I think they just need to let girls play and all will be well. :-) Speaking of softball, I'm not gonna be playing with the Transfiguration team this summer. :-( It's seems as if I'll be staying in Dallas for most of the summer. I know you're all disappointed, I am too. But I plan on getting a job of some sort and start making some money for that awesome TV I've talked about! Yea we'll see how that turns out. I'm no longer a member of the Blue Devil flagline, it was fun while it lasted. Oh! I'm so excited, I'd been doing this thing with FreeDVDs.com where you try all these offers and free trials to earn points, then trade the points for DVDs. I just got enough points for Band of Brothers so I ordered it and it'll be here soon...all for FREE! That's worth like $90! Yay for DVDs, especially free ones!! Alrighty, that's all I got. Tata!! ~Alison Current Mood: ecstatic Current Music: Oldies baby, oldies.

11:23 pm - Stupid computer For the 3rd time I try to start my 7th entry here. The previous attempts failed due to some malfunction of my computer, surprise surprise. But anyways, here it is... I think the worst yet also best thing about my spring break was coming back to Dallas because I'm definitely glad to come back and all but that means having to leave the fam and now Nala. :-( I sometimes just wish my two worlds could mix and I don't have to choose between them all the time. But yea, so spring break was quite relaxing. My mom loved Nala!! But of course who couldn't? And she was so precious this week two. Her ears are starting to stand up, well, one of them anyway. The other one's not quite there yet...sooo cute!! Happy flyin' to Meesh!! Sorry I didn't get to come see you at the airport. :-( My mom and I got lots of shopping done over the break! And for anyone who truly knows me should realize how great of a feat that is for me...I HATE SHOPPING! But getting new clothes is always fun! So I think I'm gonna be making lots of jewelry to match everything. Yay! Ok, for those of you who were unaware, I am officially the most talented person ever. I go to try out for the Blue Devils hornline and somehow, based on my stunning looks they assumed that my talents as a guard member were far superior to my trumpet skills so I have made the BD flagline!! Go me!! ...if you don't believe me, just check out the link on Jake's profile. I'm still debating what I should do this summer. The most productive thing seems to do summerschool, but then I'm not sure where and also if I should get a job. There just aren't enough summers! Well, this entry, as are most others, was kinda pointless but oh well. That ain't my problem. Hehe! Hope everyone's doing well these days and to my Georgians, I'm sorry I didn't get to see most of you over the break!! But can't say it was completely my fault (...ie. ALEX!)we shall see each other soon. Miss you!! Alison PS: Everyone needs to go see Jeff's band at Battle of the Bands Monday at 11 to support him!!!!!! Current Mood: relaxed Current Music: Soon to be the soundtrack to whatever movie I watch

01:38 pm - Yay for the weekend! So this week's been pretty hectic but is slowly drawing to a close. Way too many tests this week. But I'm happy to say that we got our Music History tests back today and I got a 92!! Guess mine and Christine's studying techniques really work. We've been lookin' into apartments a lot lately but still haven't been able to make any decisions. My friend Kurt and I are in love with these amazing three-bedroom, 2-story, apartments that are cheaper yet so much nicer than what we've got now. But for some reason nobody else seems to be very interested in them. I've already planned out which room I want and where all my stuff would go too. Guess I shouldn't give my hopes up like that though. Congrats to the Fadunkers!!!! I'm so happy for you guys and will definitely be there Monday night to cheer ya on! So only one more week left before Spring Break! IT'S ABOUT TIME! But that also means I've only got two weeks left with Nala. :-( My GA friends gotta come by and see her next week!! Oscar countdown: 2 days!!!!!!!! GO ROTK! So in other news, if you haven't seen The Passion go see it right now. It's beyond words. I've never seen a movie that left the audience completely silent at the end like that. You'll be a changed person when you come out. Definitely a must see. ~Alison PS: Jake and Matt, I hope you enjoyed Stairball! Current Mood: pleased

12:46 am - Too much school... I haven't even made it to this week's hump day yet. UGH! Does anyone else just feel burnt out? There's been way too much school goin' on. And at any point throughout the week all I do is count down the days until the weekend, as if those were any relief. Those just come and go without me even noticing. What's worse though is that each week I promise myself that THIS is the weekend I'm gonna get my butt together and be all caught up on stuff. I'm still waiting for that weekend to come. Guess that's just the college life. Things just seems out of control sometimes. Or at least like I have no control over any aspect of my life. In a way I guess it could be a good thing, to help me focus on what really matters, but still! It's very frustrating. Oh anyways, sorry if I'm bein' too vague here but I guess I just felt like rambling. So what's the deal with the cops bein' all over me lately? First our awesome party gets busted, then I get who knows how many parking tickets, then a speeding ticket, then ALMOST another speeding ticket on the way to San Antonio, then a parking ticket in San Antonio (guess I wanted to see if they worked the same way as in Dallas), then we got a notice about our court date set this week regarding the party incident, and then I got another parking ticket today! UGH!! But uh, let's not mention any of this to the parental units...that could be bad, got that Megan?!?!? So as you can prolly tell, I'm not exactly in the most chipper of moods. Maybe I just need to watch a lot of Friends this weekend and then I'll be all better. We'll see how that goes... so much for THIS bein' the productive weekend it needs to be... Alison aka: That girl in Texas you Georgians have better not forgotten about...yet atleast. Current Mood: drained Current Music: mmm, oldies...those Righteous Brothers know where it's at.

12:47 am - Yay for puppies!!!!!!! So yea, this journal should be fun...assuming people actually wanna read it. Well it's certainly been an eventful day. After being forced to refuse two adorable puppies due to their future size Jenny and I talked it over some Wendy's, read the paper in search for more cuties and ended up finding a dog breeder not too far away with some puppies for sale. We made the trip and came back a puppy richer. IT'S SOOO CUTE! Like seriously, I know dog owners are usually biased of their own dog but dogs just don't get cuter than this. She's a white toy rat terrier and is just so perfect. But anyways, I'm gonna have to part with her over spring break since she's my mom's birthday present. But SHH, she doesn't know that yet. So that's about the extent of excitement around here. Now it's back to another boring Monday, but atleast it's only a 2-day week thanks to TMEA! Sweetdreams to all! ~Alison aka: Farsi PS: We need suggestions of a name for her. And if you wanna see a pic just say the word! Current Mood: jubilant
