ally_madison's Journal

♥ Alyssa Madison was born December 1, 1990 to Elena and Jacob Madison. The couple never thought they wanted kids so when Elena found herself pregnant she did seriously thin about ending it. But they decided to go through with the pregnancy. Ally was born two months early and spend much of the first month and a half of her life in the intensive care unit. After that though she turned out to be a good baby, and rarely cried.

♥ Ally hates being called Alyssa and asks on the first day of school every year not to be called such. Most teachers listen. If they don't she just gets really grumpy and dislikes that class. The only people that really call her such are her parents. And its all the time.

♥ Ally goes to church every Sunday and even sings in the church choir. Though if you ask her if she truely believes in God she isn't sure. Believing in God gives her hope but mostly she finds comfort in the routine. She doesn't believe a true God could let such evil in the world happen and that keeps her from being a true believer.

♥ Given her own religious beliefs Ally doesn't like shoving her beliefs down other peoples throats. Nor does she like when others do that either. She is often soft spoken but speaks up when she thinks something is unjust.

♥ Ally is a very conservative person. She doesn't like to show off her body and is often found wearing long sleeves. Though no one else really knows she has a tattoo along her hipbone. She wasn't of age to get it at the time but her parents allowed her to hide the scar that was there with a small group of shooting stars.

♥ Ally is afraid of the dark. Her lights are only off if her father is in the room. She has a nightlight on in the corner of her room. But most of the time she keeps all of them on.

♥ Ally loves school. She graduated third in her class. When she isn't at school she's at a meeting for one of her clubs. Or she's working at the library, where she heads a children's reading group after school on Wednesdays and Fridays.

♥ Ally loves loves loves coffee. Plain coffee, Flavored Coffee, Iced coffee, anything. She could drink it 24/7 and jokes it runs through her veins instead of blood. If its plain coffee she always drinks it black. If its flavored she will have cream with it. She never drinks Decaf.

♥ Ally loves being around people. She's always willing to listen to someone, to help someone, or give people a chance. She would probably give you the shirt off her back if there weren't laws about going topless in public. She volunteers often and helps run charity events in the school. On Sunday's when she isn't in choir she is in the children's room either watching babies or teaching Sunday School.

♥ Ally loves crime shows. It isn't because crime fascinates her (though it slightly does) but it is because in the end the bad guys get caught and the good guys get help. She knows the world isn't always like that but thats why she loves tv (and romance novels) because 99% of the time there are happy endings.

♥ Plans to get her bachelor's In child literature and then a masters in library science so she can be a librarian. She has loved books for years, so its perfect for her. She loves working at the library and has decided to read every book there, starting numerically in the dewey decimal system.

♥ She hates digital photography, and even if half of the pictures that come out of her disposable cameras are thumb prints she feels that erasing photos is like erasing memories and moments in time.

♥ Ally is a total klutz. It is the other reason she isn't good in gym. She could probably trip over her own two feet, actually she has before.

♥ Ally loves to cook and bake. She does most of the cooking in the house as her parents work late, but baking is her passion. It's amazing she doesn't way about a ton with all the cookies and cakes she makes. But most of them she hands out.

♥ Ally's favorite thing on the opposite sex is their smile. Any guy with a nice smile, calm eyes, and amazing arms gets an A in her book.

♥ She doesn't wear a cross around her neck, but she does wear a medal of St. Jude, patron saint of impossible causes. When she's nervous or scared she plays with it. It reminds her to keep having hope.

♥ Her favorite color is yellow. She also loves the scent of vanilla and clean linen. All of her shower supplies are one of the two scents. However she can't sleep in her bed unless she sprays her pillow with 'sensual' pillow mist by bath and body works.

♥ Ally's parents were physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive. She tries to hid this though and thinks she does a well enough job. Its the only life she's ever known so its hard for her to see how wrong it is. Even if she sees lives like hers on those crime shows she seems to feel detached from it and thinks she deserved it where as those people didn't. She is glad to get away from them for college though. Even if she dreads coming back for holiday

♥ When she was thirteen, Ally, who had been sexually abused for years, learned she was pregnant. She was about three months along at the time and once she told her parents she was pregnant they forced her to have an abortion. The father of the baby was either her own father, or one of her fathers business associates.
