Well, hello there! I'm so glad to see you could join me. Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable. You're about to embark upon a journey that will lead you into the life of a mysterious young woman. Oh, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself. My name is Alyssa. I am a 22 year old female from Altoona, Pennsylvania. I am currently taking a small leave from the Penn State Altoona campus. I will return in the fall of 2006 and finish my major in Elementary Education with a minor in English. I also work at Giant Eagle so that I can afford Penn State's tuition, along with a daycare job for the summer.
This page will lead you into my life, my thoughts, my feelings, and my personality. Now, it's not quite THAT scary. Please, sit down! It won't hurt. I promise! I just wanted everyone to be able to get to know me just a little bit better. I love to write poetry and short stories. I love it so much, that I want to become a writer, for a living, one day. I also enjoy reading, spending time with my family and friends, bowling, shopping, watching movies, talking online *of course*, playing air hockey, going to parks, mudding, offroading, camping, kayaking, hiking, biking, and many other things. Here is a list of some of my favorite things:
