Why am I okay?


Because I feel loved.

:heart:

Friends are fantastic and wonderful things to have. People who you can count on for a kind word, a honest assurance, a simple hug--it's very amazing.


So, that being said--
Life is still nuts lol
I really need to work on some classes and get a handle on them, i need to make headway on my applications.
I will, I am. This weekend will be very busy and I will be welcoming it :)

Next week will be Thanksgiving week. I'll be gone from Wednesday morning until who knows depending on who i go visit. Family is nuts, you know?


So--Thanksgiving, time to give thanks.

This year I am thankful for:
Good friends--see above, reminding me how to live, to live, to feel beautiful and confident.
Good mentors-- Callaway, Carter, Strait, Baldwin, Netoff have all bolstered, influenced, inspired, and motivated me intellectually.
Good doctors--Finding my mom's cancer before it spread
the Mississippi Delta-- because it's an amazing place that gave me millions of memories
The #Texasdevmeet crew and their uncanny ability to make me smile. Each one of you are so very awesome in your own way and i suppose this falls under the whole friends category but still-you're a breed apart.
My apartment--oh dear god my apartment. I LOVE my apartment.
My gym--stress relief is found here so readily
My muse-- i feel so damn lucky to have it
deviantArt --for the second year in a row helping me raise over 1000$ for the Houston AIDS Foundation
All of you-- for being cool, cool cats in all things
chocolate, tea, coffee, redbull, fruit, cheese, cookies, greek yogurt, honey, beef, and all things yummy
My heart--that it is still open, warm, and happy

so, what are you thankful for?
Tell me, tell me

I've been accused of going by Joan, but really my actual name is...well you can just call me Ali.
I'm your crazy loyal Lit GM, along with ^LadyLincoln, ^SparrowSong, and ^fllnthblnk, bringing the community closer together by empowering them to be the movers and shapers of this digital world we have created. I am here to serve your needs and address your concerns. Please never feel afraid to talk to me or even to criticize me, but do it openly so that I can address your concerns.
My specialties in the lit community include promoting and coordinating Contests as well as conflict resolution between members and all other administrative duties related to the running of the Lit Community.
In the mean time--SEND ME LIT! I want to see quality lit pieces being suggested from the unknown to the known, in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, anything! The sky is the limit! I prefer the rough stuff--transgressive, horror, sociopolitical, and various other taboo and naughty lits!
As far as the biography goes: I'm twenty two and terrible. I'm in my senior year of Uni studying Political Science and Geology, my focus being international mining policy and political economy with considerable focus on Africa. In any waking moment not filled with school, work, husband, dA or House, I attempt to write.

When it comes right down to it I can be blunt and brash, but I'm not all that hard to get on with, I promise. "I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between." -The Fountainhead

perusing your site reminded me of this fabulous quote:

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it.

Voltaire
