Music
People ask me, "Allie, you know so many bands, you've written record reviews for magazines, you're touring this summer, what bands do you like?" I always look them in the eyes, and in recognizing that I only have a moment to sum up a lifetime accumulation of musicial knowledge my answer is this: The Lion King Soundtrack. It's a masterpiece. Get it and blast it. Life is too short not to be a Hakuna Matata'n sonovabitch.

Movies
Old silent films featuring the crackling noise. New sound films featuring cigarette burns.
But mainly Barbarella.

Heroes
Well-rounded individuals, my friend Edgar's good heart and sad memories, David Axelrod from Capital Records, and everyone who has propositioned me to do porn. That takes a lot of balls. Literally.

July 19, 1956 - March 26, 2006
Every nomadic inclination I have reminds me of you. Wish you were still around. xo.
The world at 3 a.m., so I could climb it brick by brick, and Big Jay McNeely, because he's cool.

I know it seems as tho I have been "lagging" ion my best friend myspace comment duties.... but I want you to know.... Allison Vu.... ...you're always, always... In my heart...
(FLUTE SOLO)
Every night in my dreams I see you. I feel you. That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never go till we're one
Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
(BIG DRAMATIC ORCHESTRATIC BREAKDOWN)
You're here, there's nothing I fear, And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on
i miss you too and ya know i love ya like a fat kid love cake! ugh i wish you were here, or i was there so we could hang out all the time and do stuff and you can come to my events and sleep over and eat taco bell late at night haha.
dude, do me a favor and call the dmv and tell them to send the shit here next time. otherwise we are gonna forget again and who are we gonna send the payment to? Britt is moving back! where are you gonna stay? k i'll be waiting on the 18th! love ya.
hey, plans have changed. my mom says i can't take off my name from the bike unless we refinance or you pay it off. so just keep paying it. how was yur fourth of july? everytime i pass by santanas i think of you:) love you
restraint is all i can tell you, cuz you also know how it ended with the last guy who was funny. otherwise, i dont wanna hear you whining and crying.....unless your absolutely suicidely desparate
I'm sending a high five out across the universe in the general direction of Denver. I hope some asshole in Vegas doesn't steal it from you. Ha, in high school my idea of an older guy was just anyone not in high school anymore. I never had a bf in high school, til i had to do a certain someone a favor. And let me tell you, THAT was terribly dramatic. Silly high school.
That's funny, i had never before last month been attracted to anyone older than 26. Ha. Well, i had, but i always felt i would be too young. But then i learned that i'll never be too young for anyone. I'm starting to see that no one will ever be old enough for me, as in i think i might be wiser and more mature than most. Not to sound full of myself, i'm just being honest. Man, is there really no hope for us ladies?

Allison Vu....
...you're always, always...

And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not
go away
