Blog Entry 83 of 105 Places To Go, People to See
A new blog from the Buffalo born author of the novel, 'Traveling With An Eggplant', that deals with her work, book tour, and ridiculous midadventures, as well as descriptions of Clarence bars, restaurants, businesses, parks, etc so that people know more about her hometown and get a humorous look at what's featured in Clarence and what being there is really like so that they want to make an effort to check it out. People actually living in Buffalo have zero excuse for not going anyways but hopefully the blog will give them that extra push. For more info, there's always the official site: www.alyciaripley.com where you can read all about the lively, eccentric brunette and what she's currently up to. In addition to promoting "Eggplant," her new book 'Try Anything Once' should hit stores in late summer '07 followed by a novel called 'Winterphoenix' shortly thereafter. She is also an obsessive copyeditor, the co-editor of an anthology book of works by Buffalo born writers along with notorious Buffalo man about town essayist, Tom Waters as well as being a commentator for this just-born site. She has performed in many NYC stage productions and has an upcoming extended stay in Los Angeles to further her film work. Her nomadic life has helped her to appreciate what Buffalo and in particular, Clarence, NY has to offer, so get there already and see what all the fuss is about.

A questionaire that makes you THINK

Contributed by: Alycia Ripley   on 4/26/2008

Someone sent me this questionaire and I wanted to post it on here in case it has the same effect on any of you that it had on me. Most of us receive email questionaires frequently through a pal or a work associate to pass the time but this one, although VERY deceptively simple, gets to the heart of things in a way that a million questions like "Diamonds or pearls?" or "Have you ever snowballed a house?" ever will. All questionaires make you think, I suppose, but this one made me think in a deep way, not that autopilot way of, "Whats the answer I always give to this or will I change it for something cheeky that my friends will get a kick out of today?" As cheesy as this sounds, I really suggest checking out this questionaire even if you only answer the phrases in your head rather than writing them or typing them out. They will give you a huge hint as to your mental state at the moment which is something I think alot of us should check in with ourselves about much more often.

I AM: in a transitional state

I WISH: to be happy

I NEED: a date with my boyfriend

I SMILE: as much as I can

I KNOW: 'not what may be coming but be it as it will, I'll go to it laughing.'- fave quote from Moby Dick

I CRY: alot these days, esp if i'm getting my period

I SING: sometimes as i walk down the street which, admittedly, looks sort of weird

I DANCE: alot now that i have a new mp3 player

I ADMIT: that my personality ruminates and obsesses over details most ppl wouldn't, maybe this has to do with being a writer

I DESIRE: to be the best person can be

I WRITE: on my website www.alyciaripley.com, books, articles, on my space, blogs, emails, etc

I HOPE: to see all my loved ones again soon

I SHARE: my feelings with only a few close people or else I'd look like a maniac to everyone

I GO: at the most productive speed I can manage

I SUPPOSE: I dont do enough sometimes

I SHOW: less than you think

I BELIEVE: that everything happens for a reason

I MISS: you
