You're probably sick of all my little updates, but I have a BIG favor to ask of everyone. One of my bestie's, Jad, is a very talented and aspiring actor and he has the chance to be on the show Mad Men if he wins this online contest! So if you would please help him win this opportunity I'd be eternally grateful!
Just go to
madmencastingcall.amctv.com/ph… And vote 5 Stars
underneath his pic! You can do this everyday until August 12, but even just once is great help! Pretty pwease!
And go enter Lily's contest!!!!

Hi!
is having a contest themed Summer Bliss! Go here for more details:
lilysnight.deviantart.com/jour…. The amount of entries for her contest is lacking a bit... And you're entries for my contest are just amazing and judging is going well, though it's very difficult and the judges are all across the board! So since you are all so talented, if you have time before August 16th, you should really enter Lily's contest!
Thanks everyone! ~Alice <3

SEE CONTEST JOURNAL NOW! =>>creativecrater.deviantart.com/…"Can't Take the Sky From Me" Contest is now CLOSED to entries. Voting has begun. Thank you all for your wonderful entries and look out for the winners in about a week!
Please check that your entry is in my contest collection. I’ve only had two people I missed and I don’t want to miss anyone come judging time.
If you find that you can’t get your entry in on time, don’t sweat it. It happens. But I’d love if a few of those who fall into this category would consider being a judge. I would like three or four more if possible. Note me.

Slices of LifeIt’s still hot. I’m still a little miserable. Has anyone else ever had/come close to having a heat stroke or exhaustion like I have? After that, I was chugging water like mad cuz I didn’t want that overheated sensation again. Every summer since I’ve had mental relapses into that frightened state of mind whenever I get too hot. I just REALLY don’t like the heat.
Had a GREAT time with that friend I hadn’t seen for three years. Went to a baby shower which was nice. My job is getting easier—well, I’m getting more familiar with how doctor does his procedures and where things are kept. It’s all about finding a balance. And boy is the paycheck worth it!
I have lots of things I need money for…
I finally beat my file on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Heck yes! Another thing to cross off my summer "to-accomplish" list.
I'm such a nerd.
This is a bit random, but I'm pretty surprised how popular my Wabisuke is. HAH! Wow... guess I should make another cardboard sword sometime...

It's Not the FallThis is a song about time,
That time when you’re in freefall,
You fall and fall, and never hit the ground,
And it hurts when you hear your wake-up call,
Laying in an unfamiliar bed,
It might be your home, it might not,
Hours, days, months may have passed,
Waking up from a dream that you forgot,
And you know the freefall is done,
And believe me, you’re not the only one,
Life is a series of towers and cliffs,
Falling without a parachute, but what’s the diff?
It’s not the fall, but the landing that hurts,
Bouncing up and down is when you feel the worst,
Falling, falling, with no end in sight,
The darkest of tunnels has two ends of light.
So when you finally wake up,
You feel aged, mature, years older,
Than when you must have went to sleep,
Stepping outside, the world’s a little colder.
But it doesn’t matter, the old life is gone,
When you lose your one constant, it’s time to move,
You don’t know what you’re gaining by this,
But you’ve got
