Here I go again...on my own

Awww yes. You know you have made a raging comeback into the blogging arena when the only title that seems to fit is a White Snake song!!! I should just stop there. But I won't. So yes, it has been a herendously long time since my last post. I apologize. I must have slunk away into the shadows to be alone with myself which, oddly enough, is where I feel most comfortable. And the most depressed. But I decided to surface once again and write even though I don't feel like it. No check that, I didn't decide at all. The Son of God, himself, called me out to write again. If you don't believe me, check my comments. Short and sweet and yet authoritative. What was I gonna do? I couldn't deny the Savior!! But I have a feeling with such high expectations thrown on top of me, I will yet again retreat into the silences never to be heard from again. Until, that is, someone offers me their liqour. I can never turn down good booze. Especially when someone else has payed for it. Anyway, life continues on, always at the same pace, always leaving me behind to figure things out and try to catch up, only to be left behind again. It's a bitch, what can I say!! But I never want to give up hope. After all, it is just that that has carried me thus far. I just hope that people won't be completely scared off by my "less than enthusiastic" outlook. But hey, If Jesus is still interested, I can't be that insane, right? It's funny, I heard a comedian say that when your single, all you see is couples. It's so true. They're everywhere, mocking me with their cute glances they steal of one another, their little inside conversations they have that only lead to making out right in front of you. Those are so fucking annoying. And the most annoying part is how you can't stand it, but all the while you wish it were you. But that's life. With it's many stages, your bound to not keep up with all of them... or none of them. It's odd though. As frustrating and annoying it is being around couples, it always makes me reflective. For whatever reason, it always puts a song and an abstract, nostalgic thought in my head. And although temporary, I feel a strange beauty, a calming come over me. Craig Finn, of the Hold Steady, has this lyric that says, "I see Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers". I think he's right. There is an innocence, a purity that seems to shine through in couples, especially the odd ones who no one seems to get, but it doesn't matter because they get each other. I think I'm done. I just woke up from a nap and coherent thoughts are hard to come by. Later. And by later, I hope I mean sooner than 3 months from now. But we'll see how that goes.

Ok, here I was thinking that me and Jordan were 2 of your best friends that you love to hang out with, and then you go and drop the f-bomb to describe how it is to hang out with couples!?!?!? Or did you have some of your precious "booze" when you wrote this? You know as your "big sister" I cant just let you off the hook for that. :) But I do remember the days of wishing I could have someone, so I'll give you that. I guess Jordan and I will just have to try to cut down on our "secretive glances" to one another while we're in your presence (or be more secretive).

Yeah, that's right, you're gonna have to watch yo-self because Ally's in the blog-izzle hizzle now, fool! So you best check out my blog and leave your cynical f-bombs at the door, emo face!

(heehee -- love ya :) )
