Documenting PLL theories I've written randomly and forgotten

I was wrong about Toby not being on the A team, but I did say, "unless he is crazy." Toby is Crazy Theory:  Maybe Toby DOES have a mental disorder of some sort. In the episode where the girls stole Toby's files from his therapist's office, Jenna told Emily that she didn't want the file getting out because Toby is troubled and she didn't know what he might do... I know we're not sure about Jenna, but SOME of the things she has said are true, so, continuing... She called the police on Toby b/c she didn't want him "running around looking like some criminal." When the girls threw Toby's medical records into the water, we saw somebody fish them out at the end of the episode. Maybe that person was Garrett, who has a secret to tell Spencer about somebody close to her that has everyone fooled. Maybe he DIDN'T mean Melissa when he said "People lie but medical records don't." Maybe he meant Toby, because otherwise we still hav

PLL "Hurt the Ones You Love" A-Team Theory (after seeing 3.13 "This is a Dark Ride"

Obviously, everybody knows that I was going to come up with another crazy, far-fetched theory after the season 3 Halloween episode of PLL.  I have just been extremely busy working full time and studying... but I finally got a chance to write it down. It's called the "Hurt the Ones You Love" theory, and as always, it's pretty long but totally worth it.  Here we go:

To a daring guy I knew...

I wrote something for a daring guy I knew who chose to leave this world too soon... The first time I saw you I had no clue what you could be The first time I saw you I had no clue what you'd do to me. Then when I heard your voice you were shouting so loudly, you gave me no choice but to hear you; I still hear you now. If I shut my eyes I can still see your face so clear; It's as if you were here, even though you've gone off to a better place It's as though you're next to me laughing as you drag me into our crazed secret days You'd pretend to be scared and make fun of the looks on my face. Come give me another dare 'cause you always were prepared to keep me safe. Remember when we went jet skiing and you called it jet falling 'cause we couldn't stand up straight? You told me life was like a balance beam; falling wasn't as scary as it seems, & that the scariest part was the wait. I swear I can still hear you though I&

I start my new job tomorrow... but I promise to make sure to embrace my love for writing about all different types of topics. Wish me luck!

PLL: Rough Thoughts on Toby's A-Team Involvement

This is my jumbled up blurb of an attempt to explain why it makes sense that Toby would have joined Mona on a member of the A Team, and why he still might be the one who tried to save Emily. Why is Toby on the A Team?/ Is Toby the one who called Emily saying, “get out,” and if so, why? --Mona says at the end that she wouldn’t have come out that night if she knew that Nate would get Garrett out.  She chalked it up to even the best plans going awry.  She said that she wished she and Toby got to make the phone call (to Maya’s cell phone) which would make the liars think “OMG Paige is the killer.”  **Also: Marlene King posted a picture of the scene where Mona says "change of plans" to another person on the "A" team.  Some people think that, that person was NOT Toby, but Marlene King's caption for the photo is "Your first glimpse of @keeganallen as A."  So Mona was talking to Toby when she said that there's a change of plans.  I'm prett

Pretty Little Liars: Who the hell is going to betray everyone?

Fans of Pretty Little Liars know that ABC Family has revealed and promoted the fact that one of 12 suspects is going to betray everyone.  I am composing a blog post in attempt to figure out who is going to betray everyone this time. I have a feeling this won't be the last time someone betrays everyone, but right now I'm focusing on this particular one.  Long story short, I have narrowed the list of 12 people down to two suspects.  In order of likelihood in my opinion, they are 1) Lucas and 2) Ezra. **ETA: Ashley Marin is a suspect too:  Watch it be really basic... B is for betrayal & as we learned from the braille incident, B= #2. Ashley= #2 on the suspect list when they had it in alphabetical order.  If you would like to read why, check out my detailed reasoning below. :

Yeah, bitch! Magnets! Ohh! Breaking Bad 5.01

Fans of Breaking Bad everywhere have had a year to wonder what would happen after the dramatic explosion that was the end of season 4.  Finally, on Sunday, July 15th 2012, the first episode of season 5 aired. Everyone who had been wondering what Walt would do after the explosion finally got the answer; he grew a beard, changed his name and went to Denny's to celebrate.  Oh wait, that's just something that we now know will happen at some point in the future.  Walt, or as he will go by in the future, Mr. Lambert, will spend his 52nd birthday at Denny's where he will meet up with Mike to do some elusive business deal.  Cue in the "OMG, is Walt in witness protection?" type questions.  At least we know that  Walt lives to see his 52nd birthday. In this flash-forward scene, Walt meets Jim Beaver, who sold him a gun in season 4, in the bathroom where it looks like they're about to do a shady drug deal.  Instead, the gun salesman gives Walt keys to a car.  Walt op

Rant on RAP

I am just going to say my piece on RAP (rule against perpetuities) right now.  I know the rule. I get the point.  But I still think it is ridiculous!!  Imagine if you were a lawyer (for those of us who make it through this hell of a bar exam--but I digress) and you actually had to EXPLAIN this to a client. "Sir, I understand that you want to leave your estate to your brother's widow for life and then to your children.  That's very noble of you.  Unfortunately, you have to think of it this way: you can't leave your estate to them that way because there is this pesky rule that we have to follow.  We have to consider the fact that your brother's wife and your children can walk out the door today and all spontaneously combust out of nowhere. Plus, your brother is still alive, so he doesn't have a widow.  It doesn't matter that he's married and his wife might live longer than he does.  Your brother's current wife can get hit by a car in 5 minutes and

Confessions of a Law School Grad LOOKING FOR A JOB

I am seriously beginning to feel like a machine.  At least in law school I knew that I was working tremendously hard.  I may have hated it, but at least that means I still managed to maintain my feelings and emotions during law school.  I suppose that's a plus. Who knew that the process of applying for jobs would be the part of my life that would make me feel like I'm losing a small piece of my humanity daily?  Law school sounds so prestigious when people hear about it.  It's EXPECTED (or at least it used to be) that when students graduate from law school, they get jobs somewhat easily. I spend so much time searching for law firms, trying to find law firms that are actually hiring, perfecting my resume for the 8,000th time, and writing personal cover letters that will likely go unread.  At the beginning, I didn't mind it and I still felt like a human.  However, a few months have passed now and my take on this has dramatically changed. Unfortunately, the job search

Want to Work in Writing

I just wanted to share with my readers that I am looking to do something more with my creative writing.  I love to write my own work, but something else I am really passionate about is helping people to enhance their writing.  I personally would love to be on a writing team for a television show or movie.   Even though these thoughts are scattered, my main point is that I want to do something real with my writing.  I want to be able to make a career out of it.  I have TONS of experience helping students and entrepreneurs perfect their writing.  I am able to cater to specific needs.  I just need to figure out how to implement this passion of mine into a reality.  If anyone who happens to be reading this has any ideas for me, feel VERY free to leave them in the comments. ~Aly

PLL: Why Lucas and Noel might be working together as "A" STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING

**This post now includes theories coming from the entire season 1 (Episodes 1-22)! This post is separated into sections according to which episodes I came up with the theories. I know this is VERY long, so I thought that would make it easier. Edit: PLEASE SEE THE LAST PARAGRAPH IN THE NOTES FROM EPISODE 12***. It is in bold and italics just like the writing here and it's something I just noticed. BASED ON REWATCHING ALL EPISODES (1-22) OF SEASON 1 WITH THE KNOWLEDGE FROM NEWER EPISODES IN MIND. **NOEL and LUCAS as “A” theory

Coverage of Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game

I don't know how many of you watch Pretty Little Liars, but that show and The Lying Game are enough to drive anybody insane (in the best way possible). I am going to start posting reviews and theories of both of those shows on my blog so I can share my thoughts with others. The first thing I'm going to post is my work-in-progress theory on the possibility of Noel and Lucas working together as "A" on Pretty Little Liars. It's a work-in-progress because it is solely based on what I have discovered by rewatching older episodes with the knowledge I have from the newer episodes kept in mind.

Your Game

I know you're wondering if your aim has worsened as you toss knives at my back to play your game. Don't you worry: you've stayed the same. I just haven't lost my life to your attacks because I've changed. But you were too busy standing here polishing your spears to keep track of your target And now you wonder, "where is she?" Wishing I hadn't disappeared I'd return if I hadn't gotten so far yet. I bet you didn't even know how fast I could run Even though you've seen me race before, You had a blast making fun of my legs back at the high school track, well now they're out the door. So I ask you nicely not to beg for me to turn around and get burned 'Cause now I've learned the rules to your game. And though you have the tools to render me a fool you can't force me to play. I bet you never thought I'd read the instructions As if your plots and pranks have taught me nothing. Guess I've shot down som

The Invisible Teardrop

This is for a good friend of mine who I lost too soon. I just realized I've never posted it anywhere. The ocean hides the teardrop that you never showed to me Sometimes I try to visit you by going to the sea The water seems endless as waves crash to the shore And separate drops join into one splash and I can't find them anymore And so I am reminded of how you always hid your tears Behind forced smiles and claims that you hadn't cried in years. And so today I dig through the sand continuing my search I'd give anything to dry that tear that tore you from this Earth. Your war with this world has come to an end, but you've left so much here with me And wherever you are, I hope it's peaceful. Peaceful like the sea.

Let Me Save You Part 2 (another poem made with the use of Andrew McMahon titles)

This one's for you... You know who you are. I was a hostage with a restless dream to wake up and explore You traveled 'round the globes and maps just to open my locked doors. You unraveled my racing thoughts, casting lines into my mind Unlike the people running at full speed, leaving me behind. You found me as a broken bird who could never watch the sky You're the astronaut who released me and taught me how to fly I lived but a little piece of life until you rescued me I knew nothing of American love 'til you let me see all the thrills I was deprived of 'til your life with me you shared You took me dancing with a gun and I wasn't even scared. You said "I want to save you." Well, your wish has come true I'm ready for the world now 'cause I can spin through it with you.

Poem constructed with Andrew McMahon song titles

Let Me Save You... I know you don't want to be rescued And I'm no heroine but I want to save you. I'm ready to watch you unravel On a bad day. I'll help you travel If you need a holiday from real. I'll be the astronaut who takes you Up into space to see every star Like the time I took you for a spin after I woke up in a car. The roads were painted dark blue-- The mixed tape that I made for you Sat inside the pocket of my jeans And we slipped into the airwaves as you told me all your dreams. I was calm; you were a hurricane Until I told you, "you can breathe." This broken heart might feel bruised But it's not what it seems. Go ahead, roll down the window So you can see the lights and buzz 'Cause when I've reached the last straw Good news will meet me at my window I'll break myself to help you So let's sit and watch the sky Look at me and the moon And I won't make you cry. *Originally posted on this blog o

painted personalities

if makeup could modify attitude & not just appearance if a paintbrush and a palette could manufacture perseverance if lipstick could lead lips into genuine smiles and laughs if crying could be stopped with just cosmetic crafts if concealer could obscure all of the blemishes in pride the plagues of personality flaws would be so simple to hide. but altering pigments can't overshadow pain emotion cannot be eclipsed by the shimmer of a stain.
