Someone to rely on.
A secret-keeper.
Fellow brainstormer.
Or even social status.
What else are friends good for?
Throughout school and life in general, emphasis is put on finding boyfriends and girlfriends, and to a lesser extent, friends. But aren’t friends every bit as important as those other links in your life? They hold the remote to you, thumb hovering over the “build me up” buttons, and even more vitally, the “self-destruct” switch. (sorry about the metaphor) Why would we give someone so much power to make us feel inferior and worthless and simultaneously amazing and popular?
I write this as I’m going through some friend troubles. I have a new friend that is friends with the rest of my friend group. Every time we’re around other people, she’s horribly mean. But in the way that she pulls it off as a joke, so it seems ok. She also steals attention away from the rest of my friends. Basically I feel like crap while everyone else praises her. The only reasons we’re still friends are: A) primarily, she give really, really, REALLY good advice. Like, if I break down, she’s there to build me up. That’s her redeeming trait. B) all of my other friends love her. She probably doesn’t make them feel this way. C) she could destroy me socially. Sounds like “Mean Girls”, huh?
Sorry about the diary entry there, haha,
Just think about this and listen to the song that inspired me: Yes, it’s from the musical “13″

Welcome to AltoAli, version SUMMER!!!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the bees are stinging, which means it’s time for AltoAli to return to the face of the web world, freshly emerged from the depths of hiatus.
I plan to blog every day or two, put up much more content much more often, and get some more affiliates and visitors!
Please enjoy the new layout, 4 new brush sets, 19 new scans, stocks page, and 4 new textures!
I also redid a lot of coding and made things look more uniform and polished. Nothing but my best for you all. <3
I have 3 new affilates, Alexx, Aileen, and Aparna who all have extremely fab sites. Shoutout to Aparna, an old affie from forever ago reunited. 
Go check them out! I cleaned out most of my old affies, because weirdly enough, most have shut down. D: Weeiird.
I also have 2 new advertisees, Snookumz and AGZA which are pretty sweet sites, so check those out too!
If you have any questions at ALL about advertising, affiliation, my site, my content, etc. go ahead and comment or contact me. I’m currently accepting both, so apply for one or both positions!

hey, guys, I know I haven’t updated or replied to your comments, and I gotta keep this brief.
I’m going on a hiatus, dunno for how long. But I gotta focus on school, theatre, viola, y’know, life.
Life is going well, but I just don’t really know where this site fits in to everything. I’m gonna try and get back into this later, but right now, I just don’t have the time.
If you want updates on my life (creepy? friendly?) I’ll try and twitter or something. Or you can just email me, because I tend to not respond to comments. Again super sorry bout that.
Affies, you can delete me if you want.
And everyone keep in touch! I do love you all. I’d love to stay in contact.

Once again, I didn’t mean for an entire month to slip away without a blog! Agh!
I hope all of you had a happy Hanukkah, a merry Christmas, or (in advance, right?) a happy Kwanzaa. I hope you got awesome presents, but more importantly, got to appreciate your loved ones. 
Updates-wise, I plan to get some scans in, maybe write a few tutorials. I updated my advertise-ees and affiliates, so that’s good.
I have two rather large and awesome things to tell you about, dear readers! They’re big contributors to my lack of updates, haha.
First off, I have been cast the lead in a one-act play at my school!! All the seniors in Advanced Rep have to direct a one-act, so this is one of them. This one’s unique, however, because my director, Hannah, also wrote the script herself! The script is hilarious and brilliant, I love it. It’s about two teenagers, Jeremy and Suzie (that’s me!) who are lonely and looking for love. They are acquaintences in class, but they meet online (unknowingly) on a poetry website, and fall in love. Of course, at the end they find out that their love is actually in their same English class, and a big romantic ending is called for. It’s told as a flashback, the older Jeremy telling some random teenager the story of his junior year in order to get her to appreciate love and poetry at a bus stop. There’s a bunch of jokes, poking fun at the stereotypical teenager things (drinking, horniness, gossiping), but my favorite part is that there is a lot of poetry. The more emotional parts in the show are revealed through poetry, it’s how our characters think and connect. It’s really rather beautiful. I am so ridiculously… Read more of Optimism. See an oyster, expect a pearl..
