looking through some older pictures...
As I was clearing my camera so I can have space on it for my trip, I found these. They're just some quirky/dorky pics I took after I finished my makeup. I need not say more...... *grin*

one more week!
I can't even believe it! I just can't.... Saturday next week I'll be off to Europe for the very first time in my life! Some things I have to do before the trip....
1.) Clean My Room
It has gotten so super messy the past few months and I just can't take it any longer!
2.) Packing (duh!)
I need to pack lite though....
3.) Last Minute Shopping
Small cosmetic bottles for shampoo/conditioner, jeans/shorts, etc.
4.) Possibly Get a New Sketchbook...?
Just for the trip; I'd really like to sketch some things I see on the trip. Will need to get a small one, though.
There's a 99.9% chance I won't be able to blog while I'm in Europe; 1.) because I'll be going on tons of tour and 2.) I don't own a wireless computer/awesome ipod *grin*. So this might be my last post for two weeks! *sniff* I know *sniff*....
In cases like these I almost wish I had a twitter account so then I could tell you guys where we're going at what time and send you pictures instantly... but I don't know.
And before I go I'll let you know that the finals went really well. At least, I think it did. Thank you to all who prayed for me! I could really feel those prayers, it was amazing.
Love you guys :) Chat with you... in a while I guess ;]

some inspiration
I've been really stressed lately. The reason is, is that this next week is my last week of school and next week if full of huge tests that I have to pass no matter what. So there's a lot of big things going on in that department. Last night I need some inspiration, so I opened up my Bible and flipped through it for a while. Here's what I got :)
Romans 5:3-5
Not only so but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
I really like this one. To me, this verse was telling me, "It's okay, if you fail your tests, Allie. Because you will be able to learn from your experience and with that you will have hope! God is with you and everything that's in his plan is not a mistake, it's there for a reason!" As soon as I read this verse I had to read it again; I felt like this verse was what I actually wanted to hear from the Bible, I wasn't really expecting to find anything so inspiring! I felt like God was talking to me ;) And in a way, I think he was, cause he knew I would read that verse. He knew even before I was even born!
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
Another very inspiring verse ;)
Have to go, Darlings! I hope these verses were just as inspiring to you as they were to me :)

an update at last...
Hello friends! Just thought I'd do a quick update since I have a bit of time.
1.) Two weeks until school is officially OUT! Yay! I'm so excited! But this also means cramming in study time for finals *blah...!* The deal is, I have to pass my State Biology and Algebra tests. Like I have said many times in the past, I am not terrific at tests. So this will obviously be a huge stressing out phase from this point and by the time school is out :/ Prayers would be most helpful! I think if study hard enough and pray, God will guide me threw those tests smoothly :) *please God, please God, please God!*
2.) Three weeks from now (this is the big one!) *drum roll*.... I'm going to Europe for the first time ever! *jumping in seat* :D So (another) obviously, I am so super excited for that! I'm going with my grandparents to England, Scotland, and France. Taking pictures will be a must for me and most likely washing my own clothes in the hotel room bath tub. But hey! That the adventure part of this trip... at least it is for me :) I'll be away for two weeks, so I won't be available to post pictures as I go (unless I miraculously get my own lap top and free WiFi... *grin*). Again, prayers for a safe and smooth trip would be most appreciative :)
3.) From July to August, I will be starting Drivers Ed. *a big 'whoohoo' and a back flip*. I'm scared, nervous, and overall just scared. But I'm also really excited to start this new chapter in my life ;)
4.) This is just an idea my mom and I have come across. But we were thinking about me volunteering this summer at a senior home and/or Children's Hospital. I would be an entertainer there, most likely drawing. Maybe fun art games and crafts for Children's Hospital :) I don't know, we'll have to check into it. But it would take care of my volunteer hours to graduate high school. Plus, I would really like to get to know these people and care for them. It's still in the idea folder, though.
That's about it! Have a great rest of your week,

if i were to go somewhere right now
I'd go to Disneyland! I miss Disney parks so badly. I really want to smell those scents when you hop on a ride and smell the chlorine in the rides with the water in them. Even though I hated the sun when I was little, I really do wish I could just be there; even if it is hot with the sun on my face and body. It's raining... again ;P But I'm crossing my fingers this summers weather will turn up (more so than last year at least).
And most recently (about a month ago), my favorite Disney Animator, Glen Keane, resigned from Disney ;( I was so sad when I found out! For those who aren't familiar with this person, he was the animator for Ariel, Tarzan, Pocahontas, Beast, Aladdin, and Rapunzel. So he was quite popular in the Disney Animation field. I really love his art style and his passion. It inspires me :)
I have been on my deviantART account for quite sometime and getting the hang of it (i go by Cali, there). I post most of my art work up there now. I don't think I'll post my art up here anymore only because I haven't figured out how to put watermarks on my work. Not like anyone would want to steel it as their own, but just to be safe :)
I find myself going back and revisiting all of the original Disney movies. I have mostly been into drawing Ariel from The Little Mermaid and most recently Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I think one of my next posts I'll write about some of my favorite animated characters (mostly Disney probably :D )
I've also been drawing way more than I used to. I think that's part of the reason why I haven't been in Bloggie World in forever, but most of it is because I feel lazy XD But I'm going to try to update at least once a week on it's my life :)
I really want to get back into my writing days, too. These are the days where I wish I had my own laptop where I could easily bring it with me to school and then just write my story or write on my blog. But at the same point, I'm very thankful for the computer that I have.
ps... It's so nice hearing from my bloggie friends again! I'll try to catch up as much as I can :)
