Ashley's Scene

"Beauty is a good letter of introduction"

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 @ 3:44 PM

This is my hour of awakening as I venture into the stockerish world of the web, and make all my writings free to the public eye. Every idea, thought, and article will be vulnerable for judgment, or accessible for the wise who wish to only learn from my experiences and threads. I am completely ready for this step in my writing career and am excited to put all of my hard work onto something static.

My name is Ashley Palm, and I am one of those loners that rather become obsorbed in her own thoughts and pleasures than following the crowd. I have never been a follower, and I have never fallen into the crowd, "The only rude is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in." This is true about me, unless I have to get early, then my wardrobe is shot to hell. Besides living in my own mind, I do like to venture out into the natural land, and hike, swim and explore with my good friends. I also enjoy getting dressed up for a night with my friends and wearing high heels that will kill my feet for the rest of the week.

As of now, i spend most of my time doing school work, because I am a senior English major at Millersville university, my tentititave date of graduation is May 2010. I am involved with the school newspaper, The Snapper, which is in shambles at the moment due to lack of participation by my peers. I am the News Editor and spend most of my life chasing freshman and sophomores around, encouraging them to get their articles in. I am hoping to one day have a career at a fashion magazine, or perhaps at a literary magazine. I would also love to publish a novel and a collection of short stories and poetry.

That is me, and its pretty much amazing.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. I would love to live for the moment, I love spontaneity, but right now my life is at a stand still until I graduate. So, for now, i will settle with being completely absorbed in my work and when I have time, I will go on random adventures to keep me sane. I love outdoors; I hate being in the house when the sun is out and it is warm. I live for the silence of the woods and the sense of sublime when I look at the beauty of nature. I love trees and flowers, especially daisies and weeping willows. Writing is my passion, and It is the only thing that can get me out of a bad mood. That, and crying...most of the time my writing is accompanied by...crying. I am really too emotional for my own good, but I think I trained myself to be that way because my best works happen when I am completely depressed. I love music, especially alternative and classic rock and roll. The calm sound of Brandnew is one of the only things that can calm my hyper personality. I love finding new music, and I wish I had more time to do this. One of my favorite things is finding that song that describes exactly how you are feeling at that point in time, and then i play it over and over until i am sick of it. I also love to sing, and I sing all the time if I am comfortable around you. I am a senior at Millersville, and I am at that point where I do not have the time to be carefree, and I do not have the same friends I used to. Everyone changes in college, it is inevitable, and it is just not as easy for me to find lasting friendships, and people that I do not see right through, or that I can trust. School can get hard when you do not have someone that is there to lean on. When I need someone though, I can always talk to my boyfriend, Zach, who is currently living too far for me to see. He is the greatest guy ever, and I love him way too much. Every time i think about how much I love him, I remember this sappy song that I had to sing in choir. He is always there for me and will always make me feel better. I miss him always. One day I would love to do something to make a difference in someone else's life. I want to finish my degree in English, and help make the world a better place, even in the smallest way. I want to see the world, and experience everything so I can write something great.
