My results from some of the tests i took (Ali)

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

What Color Crayon Are You?

-Aw dang! My favorite color is orange. :(

You Are a Strawberry

You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people. You are popular, but there's nothing you ordinary or average about you. You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

-interesting.... i luv strawberries though!

Some quizzes that are 100% useless but still contain vital information.....oh whatever, "just some quizzes" would suffice....

I feel like putting some random stuff on the blog of ours right now, and since our blog's title reads "random thoughts, at random times, by random girls", I have the complete and utter power to post any random stuff I want. So enjoy.

They're kinda (ok, REALLY)stupid, and I don't know if the links will work, but they make me laugh and they waste time.

Just Kidding!!

Just kidding!! I'm changing the name of my story, because I have a really good idea for a story called 'The Music Box', but it's too hard to incorporate the same storyline into this one, and where it's already going. I don't have a new name yet, and maybe it's because I have no idea how to end this story, since I didn't want it to be a long, drawn-out story in the first place. So bear with me, as I'm basically putting down any thoughts that pop into my head.


Just kidding again!! I'm deciding to just leave that story where it is, and start the real 'The Music Box', and I'm too lazy to go back and fix that last paragraph. I'll finish the first story later. Sorry. Here goes nothing:


The Music Box

Sandy McCarthy wasn't what you could call a drama queen. She was 24, going to a large college in Illinois, and had just gotten engaged, but nonetheless, she was very 'down-to-earth', and knew what her responsibilities were. She had recently fallen in love with who she referred to as "Mr. Perfect", Taylor Duerden, who was a volunteer fireman at the Altona City Fire Department. He also went to school with Sandy, and they both found each other to be the best of friends. And why shouldn't they? They had known each other since childhood; the sandcastles in the hot summer sun, the occasional popsicle on what seemed an unbearable day, and all the way up to going to grade school and high school together. They couldn't be more perfect for each other.

However, as of late, Taylor had noticed that something wasn't right with Sandy. She seemed to be flustered, but wouldn't tell Taylor anything about what the problem was. This wasn't uncommon for them, as Sandy didn't think putting her problems on other's shoulders was a sufficient way to deal with them. She and Taylor 100% trusted each other, but she just couldn't bring herself to tell him about the problem. Taylor was determined to find out, and even more determined to somehow help her.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sandy tried to concentrate, but her mind kept drifting back to her dream she had had the night before. It was a horrible dream, maybe even a nightmare, and she just couldn't remove it from her thoughts. She had had the awful dream several nights in a row now, and she was beginning to wonder whether it had some connection to her life or not. She wasn't one to believe in superstitions or "dream-readings" or whatnot, but there was something different about this dream. For one, it kept reoccuring, but the aspect she remembered the most was what kept appearing numerous times throughout the dream: an antique music box her grandmother had given her, just four days before she had passed away. It had always given comfort to Sandy, especially on the lonely nights she had experienced after how traumatizing her grandmother's death had been to her, but now she began to doubt its "abilities".

She tried to forget about the past night's images, and to maybe finish her Sociology homework before the class was ended, for once. She was just above exhausted, because with the dream occuring night after night, she was unable to receive adequate sleep. Sandy knew she had to tell Taylor sometime, but she didn't know exactly when to, or how to bring it up.

As the final bell rang, she quickly picked up all her supplies and materials, and headed for the door. After a quick meet-up with Taylor, Sandy climbed into her car, and tried to navigate the winding streets to her apartment. About two tuna sandwiches and several re-runs of "The Office" (lol) later, she was fast asleep on the sofa. The hours seemed to simply roll by.

It was a large, fashionable and luxurious mansion, which was home to the most-paid individual in all of Illinois. Walter Squires, the owner of the house, was spending a quiet night alone, due to the vacation his wife and his three children had taken to maybe relieve some of the stress Walter was going through with his business.

As he lay relaxing in his 'most prized chair', Walter looked to see the clock had just struck 9:00 in the evening, and he was about ready to retire to his bed. He slowly mounted up the stairs, when he heard a faint sound. It sounded like a lullaby was being played, and he tried to follow the sound, to see where the soft song was coming from.

Walter stepped into his youngest child's room, where he found the source of the sweet music. It was an old music box his wife had given the child, to help him to sleep each night. Walter wondered why it was on, and reached over to shut it off. As he turned back to the door to exit, he saw a dark shadow blocking his way.

The last noise Walter heard was the soft, gentle music of a lullaby.

Sandy shuddered awake, to find herself in a cold sweat. She was trembling, and could feel that her heart was beating rapidly. Terrified of what to do, she quickly grabbed the phone and punched in Taylor's number. Taylor answered, and after he heard the startled tone of her voice, decided to agree to Sandy's pleads for him to come over.

They talked the problem over, and at about 11:30, Taylor left for his own apartment.

In the morning, Sandy awoke to the newspaper headline of: "MILLIONAIRE WALTER SQUIRES FOUND MURDERED IN OWN HOME".

A [lame] story...

Writing in English today...we were supposed to write a mystery.... kinda liked my story....kinda. So, I (morganne) am gonna share it. Even though I'm not 100% happy with it. It's a long shot.

(Oh yeah, it's not exactly done yet, so this isn't all of it....I'll finish it in posts to come...)


The Music Box

The dim street light flickered as Matt neared closer to the bus stop in which the light tried to illuminate. The stop was on an almost abandoned highway on the outskirts of a once-lively city, but it was now not known to be too much of a "homey" type of place. As Matt quietly approached the stop, around 10:45 p.m., he felt an eerie feeling in his stomach.

After waiting for what seemed like hours, the rickety, faded blue and white bus arrived, and Matt cautiously stepped on. Just as he cleared the top step, he looked up to see a weathered version of a woman who perhaps once was beautiful. The old woman croaked: "We might be a little longer tonight than usual..."

This didn't make Matt feel any better, especially with the uneasiness he already felt deep in his gut, but he knew there was only one way to reach the only family he had left, his wife, Amy, and that was to take this bus several cities over. He promptly took a seat about eight rows behind the driver, and he quickly realized he was the only other person on the ancient bus. Again, uneasy. The bus only seemed to creep down the road, and he was already dreading even stepping onto the bus at all.

At around 11:10 p.m., Matt checked his watch, and in doing so, he noticed the bus driver had missed the turn for the stop he was supposed to get off at. As he stood up to notify the driver, Matt was forcefully thrown back into his seat, as the old woman quickly turned a corner. In what seemed like a matter of seconds, she stopped the vehicle, got out of her seat, slowly walked down the aisle, and didn't stop until she was only inches from Matt's face. "Sit down, buckle up, and don't talk. Now." she sternly told him.

Matt was beyond scared. Beyond terrified, even. He knew something was definitely not right, and he couldn't help himself from thinking about the worst possible scenarios. As he noticed the driver occasionally glancing back to check up on him, he tried to secretly reach for his cell phone. As he used his earpiece on his right ear, facing away from her, he dialed Amy's number, but he found it to have a busy signal. He tried again, and another time, but he reached the same signal each time.

Who could she possibly be talking to at this time of night?

He pushed away the thought, and tried again for help. This time, however, he dialed 9-1-1, but as soon as he had pressed the keys, the screen on his phone started flashing a "I know what you're trying to do, because I can see you." Matt, although with his mind racing with a million thoughts, calmly shut his phone, and checked his watch to find that another forty-five minutes had already passed. It was now midnight.

Matt's breathing became heavier and quicker, as he frantically tried to think through his options. Obviously, I've been kidnapped, and whoever it is doing all this, they have connections to my cell phone, and are possibly watching me. He knew he somehow had to take control of the situation, and he decided to use his pager to see if he could reach Amy that way. Quickly paging a message to her, Matt hoped and prayed she would receive it, and in enough time.

He scanned the windows and his surroundings outside to try and identify where he was, along with seeing how he could devise a plan. He caught a glimpse of a blinking traffic sign that said something about Richfield, but he couldn't read exactly what. Richfield's gotta be closeby...within a few miles, at least. Matt knew that Richfield was a mere 23 miles from where he was supposed to be arriving, in Kingston. It was a lot farther away than he thought he would be.

What shocked him even more was how Amy wasn't desperately trying to reach him, trying to figure out where he was, when he was more than two hours late. He tried to push that thought into the back of his mind, and think of a plan to escape, maybe even survive.

100 Things You Never Knew

Sorry, I couldn't come up with any of my own ideas of things to write about. So I'm taking the idea of doing 100 things about myself. Ignore the title, you probably already know more than half of these things about me, but I'll try and make it interesting :D

1. My real name is Alicia



2. The 4 important things in my life (in this order) : Soccer, Family, Friends, School (yes, it's really bad that I have soccer before family, but that's how it is.)
