Dedication

Mood: Pensive
Music: Night and Day - Frank Sinatra
Date: Monday, March 29th, 2010

I feel like we've been on a journey these past couple of months, I feel like our relationship has grown beyond a mere courtship of carefully-worded sentences and witty turn of phrases crafted into imagery. These months, we've been having a conversation, you and I. Let's face it, when I'm really in the mood - I come here and rant to you. You listen without judgement, taking in my words and crafting your own witty retorts which you whisper in my ear through the beauty that is technology.

20 Truths

Mood: Happy
Music: 1812 Overture - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

DISCLAIMER: I'd like to point out that the comments are now working thanks to the magic of my friend Morphine who is a talented writer and photographer. I demand you visit her and leave a message on her facebook fan page reminding her how much I love her :)

The last entry was emotionally exhausting for me to write, and I've yet to decide if I'm 100% okay with opening up as much as I have on this blog. Funny, because when I started this blog a year ago, I wanted to keep it light-hearted and not mention parts of my past. How quickly that has changed. Perhaps that change is for the best. Today I'm going to go back to my light-hearted roots...here's a list of 20 truths according to me.

Letters to Past Lovers, Part Two

Mood: Calm, Mellow
Music: My Favourite Things - John Coltrane
Date: Thursday, March 18th, 2010


DISCLAIMER: This letter is a redacted version of the original. I felt the original was too graphic and detailed to post since it contained a lot of personal information that would reveal the identities of the persons mentioned. It is not my intention to reveal identities or paint a pretty picture - but to discuss how I feel about the past.

The Blog Entry Without a Title

Mood: Content and Grateful
Music: Knots - Carol Mandala
Date: Monday, 1st March, 2010

I had planned on writing an entry some time this week on reflections coming out of this weekend, and the things I mused about after my Uncle's funeral. However, my friend just told me she wants to know what it feels like to be in love, and as we discussed love I remembered this piece I was challenged to write but swept to the wayside after my uncle died.
My friend Stuart posted a link to an article about Mr. Right on his facebook, and it turned into a healthy debate about expectations and love. One of the respondents challenged he and I to write something on finding love and the right partner, and this is my half of that challenge. Normally I leave out names of persons but this time I have left his name because he deserves credit for me writing this piece - not only because he posted the initial article, or hosted the challenge on his facebook but because I wrote this piece in an hour after a discussion with him.
So now that you have your prologue, here is the draft of what I wrote.
Enjoy. If you have any feedback, you'll have to e-mail me or write on my facebook/twitter because the comments portion of my layout coding doesn't work, and I've been too lazy to find it and fix it.

Love,
Ally.
