Wet, Muddy, Drenched...Hey, that was FUN!
Yesterday, my mom and our friend Chris went hiking at a state park together. My mom and I have been there before but it was Chris' first time, and we thought it would be fun to take her!
So, after an hour-long drive, we arrived to the state park. We went under HUGE waterfalls, waded in waist-deep muddy water...(We didn't see the mud in the water, we just FELT it...Ugh.) But as gross as it sounds, it was SO much fun!!!
The last waterfall we went to was probably the best one that day. It was beautiful! It was a big waterfall with logs around it and rocks surrounding it. There were so many streams, and to go over to the waterfall, you had to walk on a ground of solid and smooth rock. But look out for Devil's Hole! There was a huge hole there about chin-deep (which is hard to tell that it's a hole) that my dad fell in one time. I jumped into it yesterday and swam as other kids were swimming around me and asking "How old are you? You don't look like it..." A little bit W-E-I-R-D...
Anyway, it was so fun!!! Thanks to my mom and Chris for such an AWESOME time! When I got home, I took a nice, warm shower...and ate a PB & J sandwich...:) What a great day (cuz I went to a fun birthday party just before that!)

Shop till You're Sick (Literally!)
Yesterday I was invited to shop with some friends at the mall.
It was so fun! We had pizza for lunch in the food court, and then we left my friend's mom to go do whatever we wanted and go to wherever we wanted to go. (I had my phone with me in case she needed to call us).
So, we were shopping probably for four hours and I only bought five things with money still leftover! I bought a shirt, some ice cream, some candy we all shared, a hamster toy (because it looked cool, okay? LOL), and a key chain that's a penguin with an afro (It's awesome!).
After eating our ice cream, we went on this spinny ride there. I think that was a pretty bad idea considering we had eaten about twenty minutes before then. As if that weren't enough, when we were in the car leaving the mall, one of my friends offered me a peach flavored jelly bean. It was awful!!! It tasted like rotted bacon, and it was only in my mouth for two seconds.
When I got home I couldn't even stand up I was feeling so nauseous. I finally just had to lay down on the couch and watch TV. I felt better after that. But now I have awesome stuff from the mall! It was fun!

Cute Animal Poll Results
I see my recent poll is finished with eight votes.
Eight people voted for my recent poll, "What makes an animal cute? Small size or Irresistible looks?"
One vote for small size and seven votes for Irresistible Looks. I personally would have voted for Irresistible Looks. Yes, small size does help contribute to the cuteness factor, however, there could be a not very cute animal that is small. Even though it's small, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cute. I think if there were a huge animal with irresistible looks - actually no matter how big or small - it would be cute. So, that's what I would have voted for. (I didn't vote.)
Make sure you check back for my next poll and vote! And don't forget to try to solve the riddle off to the side!

Father's Day
Happy Father's Day, everyone!
My dad just got finished opening his cards and his gift. When he read mine he said, "Awww. So many nice words," and he hugged me. He loved my mom's card, too. I gave him another card that I made that said "Wanna See the Best Dad Ever?" and when you open it up, there's a mirror. Get it??? Ha, ha ha!
The gift my mom and I got him was a box with a piece of paper in it that says, "Something Fun that Suits You - COMING SOON June of 2010."
I'll explain. See, my mom and I found the perfect gift online for him (I won't say what it is in case he's reading this). Our timing was late, and it hasn't arrived from UPS yet. It should tomorrow, though. Hopefully. This way, Father's Day will be stretched another day!
My dad is VERY special to me, so he was worth celebrating today! I want the whole world to know that I love him!
By the way, last night we saw Toy Story 3. It was cute. Much more intense than the first two.
Well, that's all! Hope everyone has a great Father's Day! Make it your dad's best, and let him know you care about him and love him.

Time Machine Poll Results
Eleven people voted at my recent poll "If you could travel anywhere where would it be? Past, Future, or Neither?"
Eight people voted for Past, three for Future.
I would have voted for past. I would be too scared to see my future, because what if something bad was going to happen in thirty years? I would be haunted until then!
A new poll is up. However, there has been an error with Google lately, so it may or may not show up. Please check back often to see if it is up and working again. I apologize for the delay.

A Day at the Pool
I went swimming with a friend today at the local pool. We were there for four and a half hours! Not kidding!
I am SO tired now. And, even though I put on sun screen, I still have a little bit of a sunburn on my face. The sunscreen must have washed off in the water.
While we were there, we went to the snack line to get something. I got a churro! Churros are UNBELIEVABLE. SO good! (Part of the reason is because they're covered in sugar!) It's a real treat when I get one because I don't really have too many things dunked in sugar like that.
Anyway, we got home, I took a quick shower (actually there's no such thing as a quick shower in my case), and now I'm EXHAUSTED from swimming all day. My face hurts a little bit, but only if you touch it.
Now I'm worried that I'll be tan tommorrow, because I don't think I look too good with a tan. Oh well.

What a Blessing Animals Are
Yesterday, we went biking and saw two EXTREMELY cute long-haired chihuahuas. One had sort of black hair, and the other one was a light brown. But the light brown one was walking differently. My mom and I looked to see what was wrong.
The light brown one had only three legs. Bless his heart! However, he was walking around with his tail wagging and couldn't have been a happier dog. If he fell for a split second, he would just get back up, forget it never happened, and keep walking with a bright face.
This is a perfect example of showing how animals are so resilient. They can move on easily and still enjoy life, something that most humans need to work on.
Another thing: Animals are never self conscious about themselves. They don't care what other people think. It's almost as if they believe that it's what's on the inside that counts. That little chihuahua looked like he was living the moment as best as he could, almost as if he didn't even know he was missing a leg. He didn't care what other people thought. He would just look up at them and wag his tail with a happy dog face.
You see how lucky we are to have the animals that we do? So, why do people get aggrivated at animals if they do something wrong? You might see people mistreating their dog if the dog doesn't do something on command. There is no such thing as bad dogs. Just bad owners.
A dog is just being a dog. So, why get mad at him for doing his instincts? A dog doesn't know any better unless you teach him with patience. Key word: Patience.
Animals are so peaceful and beautiful. And if we are so lucky to have animals, why do some people mistreat them?
Put a stop to animal cruelty NOW. And help to protect wildlife.

Petco's Meet-n-Greet
My mom and I just got back from Petco, because we went there yesterday to get some things for my guinea pig and found out that today was going to be a "Meet a Critter" day.
So, my mom and I got to hold a guinea pig!
When we first walked in, we saw some dogs getting their pictures taken professionally with a white screen and a photographer. There were a lot of cute dogs there, and we got to look at some of the pictures taken...they had come out great!
Then we went over to the cages where the guinea pigs were and asked an employee if we could hold one. She opened up the cage and picked him up to let us pet him. She brought up a chair for me to hold him. He sat in my lap and tried to chew my bracelet! :)
He was a smoothed-hair guinea pig with a cute pointy nose. His fur was a speckled light shade of brown, and he had the cutest little feet!
Later, we saw him chewing on another guinea pig's fur. The other guinea pig did NOT like that, so he ran away from him! It was so cute!
I love piggies! :)

Here's the DEAL:
Well, you may have noticed that I changed the layout AGAIN.
I thought the orange was just a tad bright for my blog, though I did enjoy it. I wanted a more subdued theme to the blog.
My dad said it hurt his eyes. However, I did recieve another comment from a friend of mine who said she liked it because orange was her favorite color. So, here's the deal.
I can use both! I'll keep the layout that my blog has now for "Ally's Perspective," and I'll apply the orange template to my guinea pig's blog. How does that sound?
In case you don't know how to get to my guinea pig's blog, here's the link:
www.webmasterpiggy.blogspot.com
I'll also move the link down to the feature "Cool Links to Check Out" down below off to the side.
This way everyone wins!

New Layout!
Yes, yes, you are still at the same "Ally's Perspective."
I changed the background and all the colors! We'll see how this goes for a while.
Everything else is still the same. My posts are all still here, and all of the extra features off to the side are still the same.
Leave comments to let me know if you like the new layout. Please tell me if you want me to choose another one or not.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can go back to the other one with all the dots. For some reason, the old templates are gone, and now there are just new ones. Oh, well. I think this looks pretty cool.
Let me know what you think!

Hot and Humid, but Totally Worth It!
My mom and I just got back from a really long bike ride about an hour ago.
And since we went in mid-day, it was ESPECIALLY hot because the sun was directly above us.
Well, after biking for a really long time, we went to this cute little coffee shop to get something to eat.
We got snicker-doodle ice cream and chocolate eclair! It was incredible! The ice cream had chunks of soft cookie, and the chocolate eclair was creamy and soft. It was to die for!
Sure, it was miserable to ride in such heat, but believe me...it was TOTALLY worth it!

Opposite Gender Poll Results
11 people voted at my recent poll, "If you could be the opposite gender from yours for an entire day, would you?"
6 votes for yes...5 votes for no.
For a while it was going half-and-half. Yes ended up winning, obviously!
I didn't vote (I never do), but if I did, I would have voted for yes. But I'd only be a guy for ONE day. I think I'd probably miss my old self after a day.
A new poll is coming soon!

Indiana Jones (SPOILER ALERT)
Just saw Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Last Ark the other day.
Lots of violence and blood! I was able to handle it, though. The special effects were kinda cheesy. :)
It was rated PG, and in my opinion it should have been PG-13...but PG-13 didn't exist when it came out, apparently.
Oh, well. I guess it was all right. After all, it could have been worse. Plus, not every movie can be like Bambi LOL! (which by the way I don't think I have ever seen...)
I think the weirdest part was at the end when they opened the ark and all the faces started...nevermind...
I see my poll is almost finished. I'll post the results when it's over. You only have a few hours left to vote!!!

Cheese Day
Yesterday was cheese day! To celebrate, I ate some cheese. (Babybel - the best cheese ever!) I guess it also kind of counts that I ate a piece of pizza for lunch. That has cheese on it.
That was pretty much it. Nice holiday, am I right?

Funniest Music Video EVER!
My friend Gabie and I were watching music videos, and we came across this one video that made us laugh SO hard! It's the video for Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble.
Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AJmKkU5POA
I also posted the link under my feature down below called "Cool Links to Check Out"
See the video!! It's so funny! Get this...it takes place in a grocery store, and...oh, what the heck... just see it!

Last Day of SCHOOL!
My last day of school was yesterday. (Sorry for not posting about it right away.)
I am officially off for the summer.
The only bad thing about yesterday was paying that fine for The Giver. 12 bucks right out of my pocket. Actually, more like my purse, but you've got my point.
Yesterday was awesome! My gym teacher played the electric guitar and SANG for us! He's awesome at it. The best part is...my friends and I have been waiting to hear him sing for the WHOLE school year! And it FINALLY happened!
After school, I went to lunch at my favorite restaurant: Sweet Tomatoes...yes, that's the name of the restaurant...it's not a grocery store.
And, today, my friend Gabie is sleeping over at my house. So, that'll be fun...:)
Thanks for stoppin' by!

Givin' My Hopes Up...
I said I would keep you updated on what's gonna happen with the whole The Giver book thing, right?
Well, the book my choir teacher found wasn't mine. So, book is still missing.
But it gets worse. Yes, I'm going to have to pay for the book, but instead of paying five dollars it's 12 dollars!!! Eesh.
WHERE COULD THAT BOOK BE?????????? Tomorrow's my last day, so I doubt that I'll find it. We even had to clean out our lockers today...and it wasn't there!!!

Cereal Poll Results
My recent poll:
When making a bowl of cereal which do you pour in first? A. The milk...B. The cereal...or C. Neither, I don't make bowls of cereal.
13 people voted! Boo-yah! And cereal won...with 13 votes.
No one voted for choice A or C...just as I figured. I've never poured the milk in first either...except when I was REALLY tired and didn't know where the heck my place was in life. I think that was the same morning I bumped into a wall...but that's beside the point.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with pouring milk in first. There is nothing wrong with being different. In fact, there's a little saying that goes, "You laugh at me cuz I'm different. I laugh at you cuz you're all the same!"
Check back for the next poll!!!!
