“i want to feel orgasms in the tip of my nose and the back of my ear
in the cartilage between the vertebrae that make up my spinal column
would you stare at my face for ~2 hours without blinking
standing on the splintery wooden porch of the house where i was born
we are craving a certain unachievable density in emotions
that can only be partially expressed through physical movements
subtle gestures that suggest something complex and vague
i will kiss you everywhere and recklessly
under the avocado tree during a thunderstorm
in that hole i dug in my dad’s backyard when i was 7
here are some things that i would like to touch
clavicle bones, backs of knees, adam’s apple, space between fingers
together we will have this extremely beautiful sensation
of being twice as frail as we once were
and it will feel like the first time you ever had a cold
the last time you tasted grape flavored cough syrup
a light pink fever”

Well, it’s already April and i’m pretty sure the last time i actually wrote something was winter break. sad life. So much shit has happened this year that if last year i found out this is who i’d become i’d be more than shocked. i mean, i’m still socially awkward around guys. but i’ve just done things i never even considered doing. i put fucking koolaid in my hair for christ sake. we’re also no sure if my roommate is a lesbian or not, so that’s fun. my roommate has been in the room at all the wrong times and i have managed to do my laundry every week. i’m supposed to be writing a speech right now and just can’t fucking do it and it’s due tomorrow but realistically, i just can’t focus. these past couple weeks have made me reconsider a lot of my decisions and i think it’s fascinating how quickly i can get over some habits. like right now i just feel like i’m over the partying and just want to chill, cuddle and watch movies. i hate the mind games and hangovers that come with every weekend. i hate knowing that i can’t confide everything i need to in those close to me, but i love knowing that my mother has become one of my best friends. i’ve told her things people would never tell their mothers in a thousand years and i just hope that when i’m home for the couple weeks that i’m there that we’re just as close if not closer. i’ve learned never to have my phone on me when drunk and emotional or some regretful texts can and will be sent out. but i’ve learned not to regret them because i refuse to take bullshit from people and they should know that. i don’t know. i’m going to miss my dorm this year and i dread living in a different res. hall next year where it’s smaller than a locker. i don’t know. this post was pretty pointless. but for those reading it, coolbeans.

i guess what i’m trying to say is people can change in drastic ways in as quickly as only a few months but the important aspects and values will always be there and to always trust your instincts.

stay classy you bastard clams

We all have a story. Mine just happens to have a lot of plot twists.

I wish I could say I had a strong passion for something. I wish I could say I work towards making a change in the world. But if I did, I would be lying. And that’s one thing I try not to do. I guess the one cause I work towards the most is my own well being. And I know that sounds really selfish. So just bear with me. I grew up with my parents despising each other. The music of slamming doors and screaming voices would ring in my ears, as I would try to fall asleep. My parents split and my mom moved my 2 brothers, overweight chocolate lab and I cross-country to Chicago.

I’ve always been in combat with my mind since I was little. That’s just become a fact of life for me. Some days, it will get the best of me. And it’s like I’m not there, but instead somebody else has taken my place. I struggled a lot in the beginning of high school with this, but it’s been nearly 4 years since I have been in recovery and I will never regret what I’ve been through. My full name is Allison. And when I was a young clam, my oldest brother Scott used to call me Allison Wonderland, starting my fascination with Alice and Lewis Carroll. One of his quotes goes, “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then” and I try and live by that every single day. I admit, some days are better than others, and I have accepted that and try to move on with my life. I’ve learned life is too short to let our weaknesses and illnesses take hold of us. It’s just not worth it.

I was given the opportunity to study abroad at Cambridge University my summer going into senior year. I had looked forward to the trip for months and managed to lose 13 pounds before the trip to up my confidence. My third day in England, I started getting sick. We thought it was just something I had eaten. But the next day, my trip to the hospital said otherwise. The rest of my trip in England consisted of hospital trips, morphine, and a lack of eating, making me extremely sick. My trip was terminated prematurely sending me back home to Chicago and straight to the hospital. My senior year was supposed to be a blast; it mainly consisted of multiple doctors’ appointments, tests, fights with my mother, and overall pain and stress. It wasn’t until last February that I got something that has to this day gotten me through almost all of my struggles.

When Alice is about to arrive in Wonderland, she admits to the Cheshire cat that she does not want to be among those who are mad in which the cat replies, “We’re all mad here.” My first and only tattoo as of now. Going against everything my religion stands for. Marking my body permanently, and intentionally. But the way I see it, it’s gotten me through so much, that I think we can bend the rules just this once. It’s the scar that I am proud of. I can look and see who I was, where I’ve come from and how I’ve grown. To know that everybody has something they’re fighting with. Everybody has an obstacle of their own.

My mystery illness was finally given a name a couple of weeks after graduation. Despite the fact that I was told I have a life long, incurable chronic illness, I was more relieved than ever. To give what I was suffering through a name. To know it wasn’t all in my head. There were ups and downs to that day. Learning about the medicine I would be taking every single day for the rest of my life. Knowing that I’d get sick again. But soon enough I learned how to work with my disease; not let it take over my life and change who I am again. And that’s when I realized that we have two options in life. We have the choice to either let our weaknesses, illnesses consume our lives and change us, or we can acknowledge that they exist and move on with our lives. And I stand by choosing the latter of the two every single time.

I know my passion isn’t about something more social like civil rights or something with the war but that’s not me. I’m a homebody and grew up with my family with me every step of the way, whether it was hopping over the cracks in the sidewalk together, or tripping each other into the ground. My main focus is my brother. Not Scott mentioned earlier. But the other one. The one spoiled, cries over spilled milk despite his intolerance to lactose. He lives in his own world. Mikeopolis. Population 1. We battle it out on the daily. He chooses letting his moods get the best of him while the option of moving on is clearly displayed on the table in front of him. And I know it’s not just him. I want to make it clear to people that the obstacles we are being thrown are not there to make us fail, but to make us stronger, and better people. To learn from our mistakes. Since I was little, my mom always told me that god gives us what we can handle. And I strongly believe that the harder life is, the stronger we truly are. I think it’s a waste of everybody’s time to let whatever it may be get in the way of our full potential as human beings. We’re a miraculous species, capable of even the unimaginable.

If people only knew the impact their voice had on the world. That their creativity and spunk could change society for the better. But we’re all stuck whether we like to admit it or not. We all have our obstacles thrown at us and we can either hurdle over them like a track star or just trip over them, give up and accept defeat.

Right now our world is stuck. We have so many issues going on in the world that are honestly too complicated for me to comprehend. Our society has taught people to accept defeat, to sit back and let things happen. To stay quiet. And that’s why we’re so corrupt. We need to speak up. We need to embarrass ourselves. Make complete asses out of ourselves. We can’t get anywhere unless we’re willing to take risks. Accept the fact that rejection is an option every time, but decide which is more important; speaking out against something or being walked all over like a doormat by the norms of society. Letting our weaknesses consume us is the same concept. And for some people, their disease is the impact society has on them. They’ve been taught to conform, stay quiet, that their opinion is worthless. But we all need to accept that the weakness will always be there but we need to look it in the eye and realize that it’s possible to overcome and to make a change in not only our lives but in the lives of others. So. I may not always understand what’s going on in the news, I’m sure if I watched it regularly, I probably would. But I understand the underlying issues going on. And if people keep letting societal norms walk all over them, we will get nowhere in life, and be stuck in the rut that we’re already in.

as the year comes to an end...

Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:24:10 -0500

I guess I just wanna reflect over the year that is almost over. It was probably the best year of my life. I met some absolutely amazing, life-changing people. Graduated from highschool, which years ago, I thought was impossible. Finally got my stomach diagnosis. Lost some insecurity and gained confidence. Went off to college and joined my sorority which has made me into a strong, confident woman. And though the year is almost over, I want to carry my bucket list over into 2013. Some of the goals are still attainable and I want to look at them not as failures from this year, but challenges for the time I am given. So. Here it is.

My 2012 Bucket List.

~~-graduate from highschool~~ surprisingly enough, this, 6 years ago, seemed impossible. I was at the start of my depression and didn’t even see myself alive to being to learn how to drive. Through all the shit endured during the 4 years in high school sometimes I look back astonished at how I managed to survive it. I know everybody says highschool was hell, but mine really was. I ended high school with barely any friends and ready to get the fuck out of that place, and never return. Well, I returned last week and realized that I’m never going back after that, I graduated and I never have to deal with those people ever again. So, yeah, graduating was on the list because for me, it’s a big deal to go from extremely depressed and unmotivated to a college freshman set on making something of my life.

~~-get my first kiss~~ When i wrote the list, I realized how lame it was that I actually wrote this. I was 18, a senior in highschool and had never experienced my first kiss. I went through a handful of hit and misses starting second semester senior year with a variety of “candidates” ranging from a junior in high school, an australian lifeguard and a few guys in college. But, I finally got it. Right before my 19th birthday, actually. And I sucked. But hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? Plus, I’ve been practicing since then, and well, I’m a fast learner…

-skydiving- I am a huge pussy, but that’s not what stopped me from crossing skydiving off my list. 2012 was probably the busiest of my years, dealing with an immense amount of boy drama towards the end of my high school career, leaving school for a month to work at a climbing gym, working over the summer. I’ve had no time to complete this task. But I’m moving it over to the 2k13 list. Because, well, I need to grow a pair and what better way to do so than fling myself out of an airplane ;)

~~-get a tattoo~~ If you’ve followed me a while, you’d know that I got my tattoo in early Feb. It’s tattooed on the arch of my right foot and reads “We’re all mad here.” I took it from Alice in Wonderland as a reminder that every single person in this world has shit to deal with and not to be so selfish. And honestly since I’ve gotten the tattoo it has made me less judgmental and selfish, so, thanks Lewis Carroll.

~~-get a summer job~~ I was a camper at a jewish summer camp for 3 years and didn’t have the best experience. So, I decided, why not get a job there… It gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my cousins and friends from 6/7 years ago. It taught me to relax and laugh at things every so often. My campers gave me hell and it makes me appreciate the people I have in my life now, the ones that don’t walk all over me, and we can equally respect each other. Plus, I met a shit ton of hot australian guys so. Win win right?

~~-stop biting my nails~~ This one has been on and off but the majority of the time, I don’t bite anymore. When I got really into climbing, I realized it was a terrible idea to have longer nails because the sound of nails scraping against the holds is awful and they get trashed on the walls anyway, so why not keep them short? Plus, I get stressed and I’ve always coped with my stress by gnawing on my nails. Once a chewer, always a chewer…

-lose 15 lbs before graduation All throughout highschool I struggled with my body image. I went from an average size to somebody considered almost obese. I hated the skin I was in and sometimes I still do. I tried everything from exercising to starving myself but it wasn’t until I decided to go to england that I started losing weight. the summer of 2011 I lost a total of 25 lbs from a combination of dieting and undiagnosed ulcerative colitis. But the problem was the 11lbs lost from my flare up got to my head and drove me crazy. i felt guilty after every morsel of food i ate and began becoming extremely unhealthy with my eating habits. but when second semester senior year rolled around, i made a change. a combination of boy drama (very common in 2k12…), hot yoga, sensible eating, biking and climbing, I got in shape for my adventure in arizona. I got the chance to work at a climbing gym before graduation where i once again got sick with my stomach. I didn’t eat for 2 weeks which made me lose 8 lbs but ended up gaining about half back after i started eating again and the muscle i began to gain. So. 15 lbs before graduation was unrealistic and will never happen again. but i have seen visual changes in my body since so, fuck the numbers.

~~-get shitfaced~~ I never went to any parties in highschool. But over the summer I reuinted myself with a good childhood friend where we went to her house as her parents were gone for the weekend and drank. But i didn’t get shitfaced. I did though, after moving up to an elevation of 7,000 feet and having some shots and jungle juice, and that was one hell of a night ;)

~~-roadtrip~~ I’m totally counting the 3 hour drives made between my house and the wisconsin dells as a road trip. or even the trek between my dad’s house and my college. so. nuff said

~~-smoke hookah~~ This was so sketchy the first time I smoked. I was in chicago with a camp friend who was 17 at the time, me 18 and we decided to smoke hookah. we went to this sketch hookah bar in the city who didn’t card my friend and we just sat and smoked. I’m pretty sure i was doing everything wrong, but, I’ve done it a number of times after that so….boom.

-learn to play an instrument- I played maybe 3 instruments in the course of 4 years? but i sucked at all of them, and i’ve concluded that my ipod does not actually count as an instrument. so, i just have to actually find one, and we’ll move this to the 2k13 list ;)

-ride EVERY ride at an amusement park - i have absolutely no excuse for this one. i worked in the wisconsin dells this summer. where there are amusement parks. so. making room on the 2k13 list for this one, and it better get crossed off this time! (only rollercoasters though, not those creepy bungee things….)

-get my belly button pierced- I’ve always wanted my belly button pierced. but personally, i think they look better when the tummy is flatter than bulging..so, it’s my reward for when i buckle down and cut out all the gross sweets i inhale when bored and sad. it’ll happen. i’m taking 3 gym classes next semester. it better happen

-see Ben Gibbard/Death Cab live I think when i heard about Gibbard getting a divorce, i had the biggest/creepiest grin on my face. I have such a weird crush or obsession with ben gibbard that if i saw him live in concert, i’d definitely die a happy clam:)

-prom I have a legitimate excuse for this one, guys, i promise! I was across the country working in arizona when prom was happening, and also in the hospital for my swollen colon, so unless i actually go to a highschool prom this spring, there is NO WAY in hell i will ever cross this off, and i’m fine with it :)

~~-dye my hair crazy colors~~ - I went blonde the summer of 2k11 and decided why not throw some teal in there?! but then teal turned to magenta and magenta turned into a gradation of blues purples and hot pink in february. TOTALLY counts :)

-go camping (legit camping, in a tent) - I went camping with my brothers and boy scouts when i was a young clam, but haven’t gone since I was maybe 6. So, I’ve found a tent in my basement, and I just need to find a time to do it, though I might actually do it when I’m back in arizona for the rest of this winter break, so…might get to cross this one off before the end of 2k12!!

~~-get high~~ I promised my brother when I was maybe a freshman in highschool that I wouldn’t drink or smoke in highschool. I stuck to that promise. It wasn’t until this past september that I actually got high and it sucked. the weed we smoked was terrible and I thought i was having an allergic reaction. but due to further “research”, i’ve concluded that i’m not actually allergic to weed so. cheers to that.

~~-go to the grand canyon~~ i lived 8 years in arizona and had never been to the grand canyon. luckily my university is less than 2 hours from the huge hole in the ground so when parents weekend rolled around, i had my dad take us there and it was gorgeous, though he tried getting me to fall into the grand canyon…thanks dad. :)

-wake up in a car - like i said earlier, i didn’t do much in highschool. and it still hasn’t happened, but it’s going to happen, because, well, who hasn’t woken up in a car aside from me???

-go to dillo day- for those who don’t know, dillo day is a thing put on by northwestern university and i put it on the list before coming to the realization that i despise everybody that lives in the northshore including those who partake in dillo day, so sorry folks, but it’s not gonna happen.

~~-commit to a college~~ - this is obvious as i have mentioned college a few times previously in this post. I was talking to my dad a few weeks ago and he said out of my siblings, he thought i’d be the one to hate college. I’m a homebody typically and like to have time to myself. but since i came to college, i’ve made amazing friends and joined a sorority. i actually miss college while i’m at home right now and cannot wait to reunite with my amazing friends in due time:)

-be vegan for a week - sorry but this means i can’t use burts bees or put honey in my tea, but if i end up having a flare up in 2k13 then i’ll do it…

-go on a nature hike- i live in flagstaff and have planned hikes before but we end up too hungover to actually do the hikes. I also would like to hike camelback mountain so, this should be easy peasy :)

-get a henna tattoo- i’ve always wanted a henna tattoo, and i think i wrote this because i had found a diy henna kit in my room from like 4 years earlier as a channukah gift or something. i think it expired if that’s even possible but i’ve always wanted a sick design from henna on me so maybe i’ll do that in the summer :)

-go on a legit run- i have a doctor’s note for this one. i have oschgudsclotters or however the fuck you spell it and if i run, i will cry and most likely beat you with a rusty medieval weapon, so i’ll stick to powerwalking…

~~-become friends with a complete stranger~~ - if this wasn’t crossed off by the end of the year, i’d put myself in the chokey. i’ve had a number of experiences where i’ve become friends with strangers, whether it be the people at the climbing gym, people in wisconsin, or just random people in college, random strangers become the best of friends, so, come at me strangers (but no creepy ones, please and thanks:) )

-go to canada- remember that time when i was legit supposed to fly to canada TOMORROW but due to the lack of housing i had to cancel it. yup. me too. and i’m pissed. i was supposed to learn how to ski, reunite with some of my aussieboys and also get legally shitfaced on new years. it’ll happen one day… :)

-spend all day at a movie theater - i have my onesie and my partner in crime for this one. we just gotta rack up the cash and find a time when there are actually good films playing in the theaters so…might never happen ;)

-hold a legit puddle jumping competition- i don’t think you understand how many times my roommate and i have almost held a legit puddle jumping competition. but i always pussy out. even though i have a neon green raincoat and bumble bee boots. no excuses allie. just gotta do it in 2k13:)

~~-get a fuckin weird tan line~~ toms leave the best weird tan lines as half of your foot becomes tan and the other remains pasty. so. checked that one off with a huge grin on my face because toms and flip flops are the only shoes i will ever wear in the summer.

~~-ask a guy to turnabout~~ I guess this is the origin of all of my boy drama from senior year. I asked a junior, unaware that at the time, he had a girlfriend. but he still said yes. i had the biggest crush on him and we would spend hours everyday together until some stupid hoe got in the way and kinda tore that apart. but turnabout was interesting. my date called me an awkward dancer and got sick from his dinner at the dance. but he’s become a good friend of mine now and looking back at it, i’m glad he was the one to call me an awkward dancer instead of someone else :)

-have a fuckin amazing year- such a fucking cliche. no idea why i wrote it, but i will be sure to cross that one off at the clock strikes midnight on new years :)

so cheers to the pain, tears, laughter, sunburns, calluses, stomach aches, hangovers, fights, makeups, new friends, old friends and everything in between. good night clams:)
