My Bio: I'm Ali. I have a life that sometimes resembles a soap opera, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It's less boring this way and hey, at least I have good stories!
I was born in Peterborough, but I moved to the Essex /Suffolk border when I was six months old. I grew up there, and it was a pretty average childhood. When I was ten we moved to Derbyshire, to a little village called Great Longstone. We lived in a rented house there for a while, and started to build our own house on a street which isn't even in a village. We've lived in Derbyshire for about six years now, and about four of them have been in the self-built house. I have a love/hate relationship with this county.
I love music. In it's entirety. I'm currently at the University of Derby in Buxton doing a BTEC National Diploma in Music Practice. It's early days, but so far it's been good. I also love words. The way they can form shapes in your head, the way slight intonations change meanings beyond our realisation.
I've been lucky enough to fall in with some pretty awesome people in my life. My friends and family are as essential to my exsistence as oxygen. Believe it.
Essentially, I'm a normal girl in a sometimes slightly extraoridnary situation. And I wouldn't change that for the world...I Like: laughing 'til it hurts, arguing, going to gigs, dancing in the rain, going out on the rooftop when it's pitch black and playing music full blast, crying, getting band merch, being called angel/princess/honey/sugar/babe by guys I know, finding out the title of the song that's been in my head all day, being added by people I don't know on deviantArt/Bebo/FOE etc, the words 'angel', 'beautiful' and 'hero' in songs, noticing stuff that no-one else does, David and Goliath slogans, feeling pretty, being called at 3am by someone who knows you had a really bad day and will still be up thinking about it, the phrase 'mad love', when everything goes good, memorising quotes from books/films/songs, remembering stuff that happened years ago, finding new bands, finding songs I've never heard by bands I already like, obsessing about bands, being able to help people, the virtual family, street-teamers, finding out I have stuff in common with people, dancing around my room when no-one's looking, being a total geek, understanding things, getting my hair cut, make-up, shopping, playing pranks on people, thinking up pranks to play on people (but knowing we'll never do them), people with opinions, my friends, having an event for everyday of the year, dressing up for Halloween, not acting my age, songs from musicals, tattoos, lip-piercings, going to Landan, pretending I'm confident, being girlie, fluffyness, bitching and complaining about everything, the colour pink, making coffees out of the machine at work (even though I don't drink coffee!), strawberries and cream frappachino, hot chocolate, bacon butties at 4am, raspberry ripple ice-cream, playing the Sims and emogame.com, my family, salad, reading magazines from the back forward, family holidays, bursting into song at random moments, everyone else joining in once I've burst into song at random moments, interactive fanfics, eyeliner, hotboysex, inside jokes that only me and a select few get, 'had to be there' moments, new clothes, the smell of freshly cut grass/the beach/petrol, my Dad's Triumph Herald, Landan taxis, stickers, being cold, getting hyper/excited, the music and science corridors at school, honesty, imagination, fairytales, being scared by stupid things, dreams, plastering my walls with pictures, The Octagon in Sheffield, Forum in Sheffield, The Lanes in Meadowhall, Tune In in Buxton, my home, hearing people I admire talking about places and events I've been to, writing down all my thoughts and feelings, glitter, surprises, buying a new CD/DVD, being able to fast forward the adverts when I've recorded something off TV, people believing in me, being happy, people writing me songs, Ralph Lauren 'Cool' perfume, homemade cards and presents, shameless promotion, happy endings.Alkaline Trio, Blink 182, Busted, Fall Out Boy, Lea Salonga, Faith Hill, Goldfinger, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Gym Class Heroes, Hellogoodbye, HIM, Mest, Minor Threat, My Chemical Romance, New Found Glory, Sarah McLaughlin, Fastball, Avenged Sevenfold, Rammstein, MXPX, Train, Reset, Fightstar, Mousse T, The Cure, Natasha Thomas, Finch, Silverchair, NOFX, Rufio, System Of A Down, Papa Roach, Jack Off Jill, Nine Inch Nails, Boxcar Racer, Coheed and Cambria, Andrew WK, Bethany Joy Lenz, Panic!

I Dislike: Two faced bitchyness, people who can't accept others for what they are, over-ratedness. Craziest thing I've ever done: Some stuff I'm not proud of...I ended up in hospital, and its not happening again. Ever. My Quote: I'll be the soundtrack to your weekend... |
