yes, it's new year's eve; i would like to post happy new year's the minute the clock strikes 12... meaning everything would have to be typed out and waiting beforehand, and no error would occur. but i won't be here at 12am to set out fireworks and rock out to music and blow those little whistle tube things with the rolly paper that inflates when you blow and rolls out flat. so, happy new year's!
what's your favorite thing about new year's? is it the fact that it sort of, "finishes" the end of all the holidays in december and the christmas parties, and "starts" the parties for the new year! it's all very exciting :).
let's see... i'm really blank on blogging, to be honest. i once asked my dad what would happen if all our relatives came and visited us, which led to me asking where they would sleep, and he said the floor. which then i imagined opening the door when i woke up some morning and seeing sleeping bags covering the hallways. which then my dad said, of course they wouldn't sleep in the hallways. interesting right? you are admitting it in your head. i just wish i could read minds.
do they give new year's presents? nope, unless it's chinese new year, which then they give red packets with (i was about to say candy) money in them. on new year's you just attend parties and stay up all night and watch the clock and when the second hand makes the minute hand tick to 12, you go all crazy. or you could just stay up all night talking to a friend and scream in their ear when it's midnight.
i think i'm repeating myself :). you know a good option instead of drinking? punch with sprite in it. and those varied canned fruits ;). it's delicious and you may feel like you're drinking... punch!
okay i'm going to go eat cheesecake now. and update my facebook status saying happy new year!
i love you and happy new year's!

Merry Christmas!
i seriously need to blog more! merry christmas you guys!
i'm dreamin' of a white christmas... and it was snowing pretty hard christmas morning! very beautiful and very perfect ;). of course, adults hate the snow since it makes driving very difficult... i think my dad is a getting-stuck-on-ice magnet. he's gotten stuck at least seven times, nearly once every day. he says he's starting to be afraid of the ice ;). way to go, dad. we always end up backing up... haha :). or getting pushed my friendly neighbors. and not pushed by not so friendly neighbors. but anyhow! it's christmas!
who here still believes in santa? guess what? good for you! i'm very proud of you! did anybody leave him cookies and milk? one of my favorite things about christmas is watching all the christmas comedies where there's a santa claus who can't attend christmas and someone else has to do it for him. i saw mommy kissing santa claus, single santa meets santa claus, and the santa claus and the santa claus 2 are just a few that i've seen recently that i remember seeing, haha. i actually just watched single santa meets santa claus today on i think it was... hallmark hall of fame where they premiere movies sometimes and show movies. i was just flipping through tv channels and started watching the movie, and i didn't even know what it was called. then i lost the channel so i didn't know what to go back to. the worst thing? they have the longest commercials. i went through the channels six times looking!
but anyhow, it was a very wonderful christmas of 2008! i think we're all old enough by now to remember every single detail... and relive it when we somehow can't participate in a christmas in the future, which i hope is NEVER!
you know i bet if you ask people what their favorite holiday is, they will most likely say christmas ;). but even if they don't... it doesn't matter what other people think. YOU are the one who is enjoying YOUR christmas so go out christmas night and take a bazillion pictures in the snow, with friends or without.
eggnog in hand or not... merry christmas. :)

Snow :)
it's so pretty! we got around 4-5 inches, i was hoping for 6. what's really fun is stepping into those huge snow piles at the side of the roads that the road-cleaners (arrgh they almost made the district NOT cancel school!) push to the side so that we can get up huge hills and into our neighborhoods. ah ha! you sink in them and get your jeans wet! haha, great fun.
i've been sledding almost two days straight. i've watched two movies in the past two days (record, i tell you! record!) too. wall-e and the tuxedo are pretty funny movies! make sure you watch them with friends for 10x the fun. good times, good times.
i had the BEST hot cocoa today! it was so good i almost melted in it! :). it didn't have marshmallows in it, though. oh well! it was still delicious. my nose felt frozen. and my fingertips felt frozen. and i felt frozen like a popsicle... in winter? heck yeah. it was 29 out today, it's supposed to be the coldest tomorrow! i think tuesday tied the record for coldest temperature. friday's low is 20. anyway enough for the forecast.
school's been closed two days straight! tomorrow makes the third! they (the school district) put it on their website today that school was cancelled tomorrow! *happy dances*
i'm still doing my snow dance. *snow dances* i want even more snow and even more fun.
about that story: my brother and i used to be a little paranoid on how beautiful the snow looks - ocd much?! - so we hated to step in it and ruin it, so we wouldn't play in it on our yard. and we'd walk in one step of foot prints. and etc, etc. then we started playing in the backyard only, where nobody could see. haha, now it's all good. that's a little on jennifer's interesting past. haha.
hmm, oh i know what to close this post with! we came home tonight at around 9:45pm-ish? and there were these car tracks on top of our lawn. like on top of the snow and you could see the tire marks, only you know how cars make two sets of tracks? because like there are four wheels usually, etc, etc, etc? yeah anyway, the second set of tracks just... stopped. like halfway. which is really weird, like they fell off or something. and then the whole of the car tracks just stopped halfway into our lawn, and then there were a bunch of footprints. like, um, what?!
but yeah. :D. ily! i'm going to bed and sweet dreams and go play in the snow tomorrow!
JENNIFER TELLS YOU TO ENJOY IT!
LOVE LOVE LOVE, ME.

Forecasts Were Right!
hey people!
life's great, and did anybody catch those few flakes of snow earlier that didn't stick? it still means that the forecasts were right, though! even though they didn't stick, -.-. oh well... better luck tonight? tomorrow? how happy will you be if you wake up in the morning and see that the outside world consisiting of your lawn and driveway and car is all covered in a white blanket of snow?
remind me, i have to tell a story of what my brother and i used to do when there was snow >.<, haha. one of the most annoying things about snow is that sometimes it snows at say, 33 degrees farenheit, except it turns to rain when it hits the ground. so it's all slushy and doesn't stick, only it does stick on the lawn (hence, part of your outside world) and not your driveway (hence, another part of your outside world) so it's just half and half (like cream :P) and it just annoys me because why can't it stick on the pavement!! what, be this a conspiracy, ladies and gentlmen?!
haha.
well it's 34 degrees out. i'd love to see you all in your winter coats, boots, colorful beanie hats with a pom pom on the top, gloves that go on sale at fred meyer, big smiles. big, big, big smiles! that calls for a camera... if i can hold it and press the little button without dropping it in this cold!
forecasts say it should go down to 19 or 20 degrees tonight (don't ask why i put 19 or 20, i know it's basically the same thing!), and the forecasts were right for the weekend, even if they changed it to instead of it snowing friday night, to saturday night (phew, long sentence)...
so sleep tight, stay warm, and have a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows in the morning!
sweet dreams, happy holidays, and i love you all!

it sometimes feels as if i do as she wishes but not for myself, although it is really for me but she is merely my drive, that motivation that i have always needed but been too afraid to look for.

Twilight, Taylor, and um... Tea?
hey guys, so yeah, i haven't blogged in a week or so. i've been really stressed out with homework and everything which is also why i'm staying up so late. i wonder how i'm going to look and feel tomorrow - i mean, in the morning.
anyway i'm sitting here typing a few updates that've happened. first, for my birthday, i went to see twilight with four other friends on the 30th of november. it was great. they left out half the book but hey, it was pretty good. it seemed really short though, but it was two hours long >.<. maybe i'll write a review on it, if i get the time. i also haven't really felt like blogging for the past week either.
elaine and carol! i love you guys. THANK YOU for getting me taylor's fearless CD (released november 11th)! i love it so much! i think the best thing about fearless is the CD cover/booklet with the lyrics. all the lyrics are in lower case except some letters here and there, which are capitalized. if you take all the capitalized letters in a song and put them together, they spell a message! i had fun sitting on my bed in my pajamas listening to her CD song by song as i figured out her little "code". :)!
next post on: thank yous even after - especially after thanksgiving!
oh, and the tea. let's just say tea=water, you need aprox 8 cups of water per day (well now they're saying less because all that water may not be good for you, pssh), so that's what my dad drinks. i had it for a week when i was sick and everything that went in my mouth tasted like tea and it was gross. i don't really drink it at all anymore, just a few sips. my brother and i let out a bunch of jokes teasing my dad about his tea-drinking habits.
more on twilight: "bella's lullaby" or really the unnamed lullaby or piece played in the movie in the huge room on edward's piano, where edward (robert pattinson aka rpatz) plays and bella (kristen stewart) watches next to him on the piano bench. the lullaby was composed by carter burwell and it's supposed to be about a tormented love - hmm, vampire and human? see. it fits. it's beautiful! i found the sheet music and i'm learning it. it makes my left hand ache because i never used to be able to stretch 8 in 2nd grade, but now i can stretch 9 (keys, btw), but i just can't really stretch 10. and there are mostly 9 and 10 stretches in "bella's lullaby". anytime i play piano, my left hand tends to ache. haha.
but it's great, i love that song. it's sad but sweet. you know?
love, jennifer

Dear, December
dear december,
did you know you are my second favorite? nothing will ever beat november! like nothing will ever beat taylor swift! :D. it makes me happy just thinking about her music. ahh, but there i go, wandering off into the unspokenish again. my apologies!
christmas is the biggest part of december i think. that and maybe new year's eve but nobody really cares about new year's eve to new year's itself. but that's okay, you're main attraction is xmas, xmas, xmas!
if you ever get a chance, i would like to know if you were the one who picked the whole red and green theme for christmas. and the silver and gold. it's getting a little cliché. but that's okay, the christmas tree idea is still great. i like decorating trees >.<, although we haven't taken down our christmas tree since i was maybe 8? since we liked keeping it up. haha. tradition, much? :).
and you can't resist the snow. honestly, it's one of the best parts. except, this wonderful coffee city, holds off the snow 1 out of 3 christmases. whatever happened to "i'm dreaming of a snow-white christmas" or "walking in a winter wonderland"? or just a white christmas at all? at least we get snow, at all. like... once in a few years... haha. it's not that scarce yet.
mmm, this is what you get for not having more snow during your main holiday: sometimes i still write 'november' on my paper instead of 'december'. because november is still better. ish.
love, love, and love again,
jennifer

November
november, we will miss you. or at least i will miss you!
okay so november isn't that big, holiday-wise. but for elementary kids, you have early dismissals for a week and a half and there is also thanksgiving in the united states (canada has thanksgiving on october 18). and sure, a lot of people say thanksgiving isn't that big or great since it's just like... whoo, you give thanks - but hey, i think it's awesome. i love november. thanksgiving is an interesting holiday!
and plus there is my birthday. what's not to love? and it's in autumn, and all the leaves are pretty. well by my birthday, the end of november, the leaves are all gone but there are still some at the beginning of november which you will absolutely need to see next year.
but yes i get very excited during november. oh, the only downside is middle school doesn't have early dismissals. i would like to skip health/fitness but not home arts... haha :). so i'll skip health/fitness and math, please? with a cherry.
if you don't like november i will be very mad at you. for five seconds. here i will be mad for five seconds at all the people who do not love november like i do.
5...*rumbles*
4...*erupts*
3...*explodes*
2...*bam bam bam*
1...*calm*
what? what explosion? something erupted?! wow, how did i miss that? no, i was just sitting on my invisible bleachers watching yimfliptz's basketball game and cheering for him and quietly eating my jenny beans. nope, didn't notice any blow out.
i bet it was bigger than expected mt. rainier's, though! :D.
okay a little sidetracked. just a tad! :).
but really. november is great. and after this, i will have to blog about december because i think, you know, just maybe... i have favorite months, o.O, zohhmg!
okay i really, really need to stop eating all that sugar and watching stuff on the food network about making home made gooey marshamllows. >.see ya november in 335 days!
love love love, jennifer

Happy Birthday, Jennifer!
13 at 11:29pm! the doctor that was there when i was born gave away little ceramic shoes that a baby's foot could really fit into, if it were a real shoe and not ceramic, that is. =P. haha anyway, on that shoe it was color coordinated, like a girl got pink and a boy got blue, and then on the bottom it would say your full name, what time you were born, your length and your weight. cool, right?! hahaha, i bet YOU wish YOU could have one!
yes, i'm just so accidentally awesome, thank you very much.
presents, presents, and more presents - especially because of black friday! it's great, i love how everything goes on sale! unfortunately since people did buy a lot of stuff it ended at 1pm and didn't go on for the weekend. but that's okay i got all the great deals 'cause that's just the jenny style, :D!
i'm happy. it's been a great day, was out a lot then came back and talked to a bunch of friends for a long time, too. and then, haha, i remember i still need to blog. i mean, it would suck if i went through the whole day and the whole year and missed blogging on my birthday! but fortunately, i didn't, :).
i'm still happy! i've been happy all day. today's been great. but all i really want to say is... thank you, to my friends, for making it one of the best birthday's ever.
oh and to my parents for getting me a cake.
13 in 1 hour, 20 minutes. happy birthday, jennifer!
i love you all. thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
hey everybody! happy thanksgiving!
i was thinking of how to start this for a few hours and just decided to start before i missed thanksgiving altogether! remind me, please, that i need to post a "november" post before november ends!
so guess what? the average american consumes 4,500 calories on thanksgiving. that's almost twice the amount you should get per day! also, i read gravy is ground up animal liver. o.O, it still tastes good. and the reason why some vegetarians don't eat skittles is because skittles contain gelatin and some gelatin are made of ground up animal bones. now a lot of gelatin is made of vegetables. haha!
but this isn't really supposed to be a "gross you out on thanksgiving" post. but psst, you are what you eat! :).
i'm excited. you know, i was in the car last night and i just figured something out: maybe "bad things" happen around thanksgiving is because it's here to remind you to be thankful all the time. even if you don't feel like it. even if you think it's crap and you shouldn't and nothing will help. i know, why be thankful when you're miserable?
i'm not going to tell you. i'm going to let you figure it out. you'll find the answer.
that's just the magic of thanksgiving.
i was thinking of how to start this for a few hours and just decided to start before i missed thanksgiving altogether! remind me, please, that i need to post a "november" post before november ends!
so guess what? the average american consumes 4,500 calories on thanksgiving. that's almost twice the amount you should get per day! also, i read gravy is ground up animal liver. o.O, it still tastes good. and the reason why some vegetarians don't eat skittles is because skittles contain gelatin and some gelatin are made of ground up animal bones. now a lot of gelatin is made of vegetables. haha!

Friends
i liked the "inspirational picture book" (amazon review) friends to the end: the true value of friendship because it's cute and funny and it has a great meaning to it. title self explanatory. it has a bunch of really sweet pictures of animals illustrating a sentence per page. it's short but really great. i have a notebook called wear sunscreen: a primer for real life which is just like the friends to the end book, with a sentence running across the bottom of each page of the notebook. both are really good, i think sometime if i find the notebook i'll copy down each line and post it on the blog! if i can get my hands on the friends to the end book - which shouldn't be hard because i know where i can get it - i'll post that too.
but anyway, this post isn't really about those two books or mainly the friends to the end book. i just started this like that because it just came to my mind. in context, when i clicked "new post", it was because two really good friends commented on two different posts through email that i want to share with you other people, o.O. fyi, i have a setting on miscellaneous heartbreak that sends a copy of my posts the moment i click "publish post" to the people whose email addresses i entered. this way, they know when i blogged a new post and can read it without actually going to my site. which is handy, since they all check their email. :).
so! here goes...
alex commented on autumn: wow i thot u'd blog about it was sooner, and like talk* about all the pretty colors :D. lol, and if u wait 365 days it'll be too late again!!! XD lol
vivian commented on olive garden: omg u sound like a commercial* i don't like italian that much. too much cheese
wow i thot u'd blog about it was sooner, and like tlak about all the pretty colors :D. lol, and if u wait 365 days it'll be too late again!!! XD lol
i put these two in because this fact was apparently unknown to my small brain until he pointed it out, and haha, they were very pretty colors except they're all gone now, and - it made me smile when i read her email and found out i sounded like a commercial!
that's all for now. oh! it's like everybody knows when my birthday is now! don't ask why, because i don't know either! but it's not a bad thing, really! :), sweet dreams everybody, to my friends: i'll visit you in your dreams, and especially for alex and vivian: i will leave a chocolate on your pillow!
oops, did i forget to say, an invisible chocolate? :).

Ajax! Austin
maybe not a banana monkey god from greek mythology, but did you know ajax is a greek god from greek mythology? heck, that's a lot of "greek"'s. :).
sweet dreams from jennifer!
sweet dreams from jennifer!
Olive Garden
the olive garden is a great place. terrific restaurant. yummy food! the decorations in that place - well the one i went to anyway - are really cool and all italian like, since well, they do serve italian food! i did tell you i love italian food, right? olive garden rating by jennifer: ★★★★★!
i really wanted to order one of those chocolate gelatos or italian strawberry cheesecakes or a shirley temple, but when you order, you say, for example: "steak gonzales alfredo" and then say, "would you like soup or salad with that?" and then you say "salad", or in my case, "soup". then they ask what kind of soup you want, if you picked soup, and i said, "minestrone". which, fyi, is pronounced min-eh-stroen-e. something like that, XD! not mine-stroen. pssh, i would know >.<. but anyway - the soups are very filling. i didn't even finish my main dish! i had like... zero bites out of it. okay, maybe two. or three. at most, ten. there was a lot of cheese in that fettuccine. the steak was really good though. it was medium well. yay? i don't know why i just told you that, haha :).
that's pretty much it as the olive garden goes. let me repeat: fantastic place! they don't take really long to cook their food and the servers are really nice.
so go try it out! it's amazingish. amazing as restaurants go!
oh, but the price! the prices are really high. everything was around $15 for one dish but it was good. so i guess it was worth it.
you hear me? it was worth it! so go for lunch or dinner sometime! order lasagna and a shirley temple and one of those italian strawberry cheesecakes and have a taste of italy!
ish. see, the problem is? this isn't italy. :)!

Sunday
hmm, i don't think i ever mentioned i wanted a santa hat for my birthday? ah ha! but i do. wait, haha, i mean i did!
thank you eggplant! i got my santa hat today, from her! i love best friends! hehe i said that yesterday too. oh, and eggplant is just our nickname for her. or peanut's nickname for her. o.O, inside joke, and now you probably think we're crazy, which i will take as a compliment!
practiced, practiced, practiced for the thanksgiving meeting today. i'm not sure we're ready. for one, if you look at tiffany, she will start laughing. which is bad, because if i look at her during the performance on thursday, she will start laughing and mess up and will miss a couple of measures. O_o... don't look at tiffany jennifer. don't laugh, tiffany!
nobody's really taking this seriously, though. they will however, take it seriously the moment we have to perform, which might mess me up which might be even worse since i have to keep the beat, etc, etc, etc. but i'm probably over exaggerating, probably nothing will go wrong!
hopefully. :)
the first annual youtube live started yesterday! it was... interesting, and i only watched for less than five minutes, haha. it was okay. i just watched for nigahiga, kevjumba, and happyslip, but since i only watched for five minutes, i didn't see any of them! but that's okay, i don't care too much, haha XD.
the american music awards (ama's) are on tonight 8/7c! which means 8pm pst, and 7pm central. if you didn't know, which i'd hope you knew!... i'm going to watch it if i get done with my homework (next paragraph), but if not, i'm just going to have my friend call me when taylor swift comes on! :)
homework... so little math for the weekend! just three problems so everybody finished them in class. it might be a mistake since there was a substitute even though he was pretty cool. he was 77. XD. but then, to ruin it all, i have a language arts project that i really don't want to do... honestly, their packets bore me.
but that's it! olive garden blogging next!

Some Birthday Conversations
and more birthday info... it's in 5 days! i am very excited, thank you very much! i think almost everybody knows when my birthday is because every time i get onto messenger or something like that people go "happy early birthday!" as my best friend was saying tonight - i mean last night, haha -
her: happy almost birthday! i got you something today, i almost didn't know what to get!
me: what is it?
her: can't tell you! it starts with a t...
me: ooh a t!
her: ...for thing!
me: -.-.
and my other friend said on friday -
her: what do you want for your birthday? i want to get you something.
me: i don't know!
her: hmm.
(here she goes into this conversation where she'd give me her iPod touch and get herself a new one except they cost a bunch.)
her: if you could have a gift card to any store, what would it be?
me: american eagle!
(this is where i think 'duh!' american eagle is my favorite store ever! and my best friends love it too!)
and etcetera! it goes on and on, but i really can't stay awake any longer to share anymore...
i crave sleep.
i crave chocolate even more.
mind you, i only crave sleep now.
good night!

More on Music, Oh, and Etc.
so, my favorite, favorite singer, taylor swift, released her second album fearless november 11th. i love that album more than her self-titled one because i love all the songs on fearless and only 12 of the 13 on her self-titled one. ah ha, big difference! but i love taylor and her music, everything about her is so sweet. i listen to her all the time!
twilight
the two songs that are always playing in my mind right now are "valentine's day" by linkin park, and "crush" by david archuleta. i love them both and i'm taking a break from taylor for a little to play those nonstop. :)
thanksgiving! am playing for the JY (junior youth), really nervous. i think i'm probably going to play something else or if not, mess up a bunch of times. which may or may not be worse, depending how i mess up. you know, i could glitch and play twinkle, twinkle, little star then back to here i am to worship then back again. back and forth, back and forth. ahh! i'm scaring myself!
the book that's captivated teen girls all over the world has become the movie that's captivating teen girls all over the world since twilight the movie came out november 21. but do i really need to be telling you all this? you probably already know! :). if i work out all the kinks, i should be watching it november 28, my birthday, or the sunday after that. either way, with friends, it makes the whole experience ten times better. or more! i love my friends! <3!
speaking of my birthday... see the next post!

Saturday
had the best time today. i don't think i've laughed that hard since june - or ever. i was honestly laughing so hard i was almost crying, i had that much fun. it was great.
so i have some news which i'll post near the end, no wait, next post. let me just tell you about my day, even though it probably doesn't sound that interesting. you just had to be there to have fun and laugh everything in you out.
i woke up at 8am (because my brain thinks i still have school even though it also knows i don't, so it has me wake up two hours later >.<), was going to get up, then fell asleep and my dad woke me up at 10:15am, had me eat breakfast (a banana! o.O) and then i left 45 minutes later, and spent an hour at the olive garden (i'll blog more on that tomorrow if i have time) and then at 1pm went and played mini-golf for an hour. after that, i watched kung fu panda - did i ever say i never wanted to watch that movie? well, it's good. it's not really that funny but in some parts it is. so watch it! it's better than cars but then i think one's from dreamworks and the other's from pixar so that might be a difference? - and played a bunch of wii for two hours, had lasagna and then played another hour before i went home. it was so fun. i laughed so hard! :)
and i know i already said that, so don't mention it. haha :).

Autumn
fall. falling. fell. autumn.
yes, so i know it started on the 22nd of september... almost two months ago. i wonder why i've never blogged an autumn post, but i didn't and so i am now. i did, however, blog a saying goodbye to summer post put up in september. a little before autumn started. and then it started and i didn't pay attention, not so much this year.
i like this season. i love how the leaves change color. it's magic. it's like you don't know how it happens - it just does. and you take advantage of it, the color, the prettiness. it's gorgeous especially when the sun's about to set and it goes through the leaves. but you don't notice. no, you just groan when the wind blows and you have to go rake up the "mess" again. again. again. again. it happens every year, and you don't care.
until now. i'm serious - go look outside. pull away the curtain or pull down the blind and peek. one little peek. it's mostly gone. you missed it. but there's still just one leaf clinging on, waiting for you. so look. enjoy it. take a picture of it. remember it. it's only going to happen once a year. you'll have to wait another 365 days or so to see it again. love it. it's beautiful.
it's autumn.

Sometimes
sometimes you're happy. sometimes you're sad. sometimes you wake up and you've slept through the whole morning and you're sad because you missed the sunrise. sometimes you stay up so late you fall asleep at the keyboard doing your homework. sometimes you feel like an idiot for forgetting something you told yourself to bring a million times. sometimes you make a stupid mistake on a test. sometimes you pick the one day to write in ink that you made a huge mistake on and can't fix it now. sometimes you rip out all your pages of work and they fly to the ground making a mess everywhere. sometimes you slap yourself in the head for not realizing a cord wasn't plugged in, which was why the radio wasn't on. sometimes you swing your hand back and hit the snooze button and the radio starts playing really loud at 1am. sometimes you turn around so fast you hit someone and feel embarrassed for doing it. sometimes you forget all your pencils. sometimes you forget all your homework. sometimes you write a bunch of stuff you want to keep only to have it erased because you didn't save it. sometimes you sit still so long your feet freeze and you can't remember how to get up. sometimes you're ecstatic over a crunch bar. sometimes you run outside and dance in the rain. sometimes you try on a pair of jeans from five years ago just for the heck of it. sometimes you put your hair up, sometimes you leave it down. sometimes you're so happy to see the snow you bury your face in it and feel stupid after that because you have a smile actually frozen on your face. sometimes you cry because your ice cream dropped onto the ground. sometimes you smile at a little kid whose ice cream dropped onto the ground. sometimes you gossip. sometimes you spread rumors. sometimes you're the center of everything, sometimes you're not. sometimes you walk out the door without shoes. sometimes you leave your instrument at school. sometimes you leave your shoes at school. sometimes you forget your clothes at school. sometimes you get somewhere an hour early because daylight savings time ended and you forgot to set your clock back. sometimes you stay up all night talking to a friend. sometimes you text/IM/blog so much your fingers hurt and cramp. sometimes you get mad at someone. sometimes someone gets mad at you. sometimes you cry because of someone. sometimes you fall asleep with tears drying on your face. sometimes you don't sleep well because you're cold. sometimes you love the rain. sometimes you hate it.
sometimes you're happy. sometimes you're sad. sometimes you wake up and you've slept through the whole morning and you're sad because you missed the sunrise. but remember that there'll be someone tomorrow to make you laugh. there'll also be someone who will make you so sad you forget how to smile. but whatever you do, know that there's always tomorrow's sunrise.

Vote Today
i've always been with mccain since it was just between the two. i've always thought obama was some... ahh, i won't say. but either way, either pick goes down in major history. the kind you hate while the social studies teacher goes on and on and you fall asleep. but, this is big. with mccain - palin will be the first female vice president ever. with obama - he will be the first african american president ever. it's big, and i'm freaking nervous.
me: "dad, if obama wins can we move to like, england or something?"
if obama wins, it means God let him win. some people think obama's the messiah which is seriously messed up. MESSED UP, OKAY?
why would anybody want a gay marriage and abortion/partial-birth abortion supporter as their president for four years?
thomas: "either way, they both die." haha. obama will get assasinated and mccain will die of old age, supposedly. someone was actually arrested for saying they wanted to kill obama. i don't remember where or who, but i heard it.
mccain/palin 08... they must win.
it's a miracle of mccain wins california. it's a miracle i want really badly. he has texas, but what he really needs is calif, ny, and texas. beautiful miracle.
please, please, please. i'm so nervous. have to have a mini crunch bar, thank you daniel.
see the thing on abortion, the teen makes the decision. they make it, they follow through with it. if obama wins, it's basically like, "oh i'm 16, i'm just going to get pregnant then abort the baby if i get pregnant. and then repeat the cycle." what the??! it's not right.
person i don't want to name: "if you don't support gay marriages, well you're going to hell." again, what the??! that's so contradictory. anybody who's not a Christian goes to hell, period. God does not like gay marriages, He made man and woman for each other. gay marriages... uggh.
check your msn, aol, yahoo web pages every hour, then every half hour at 9pm, then every 10-15 minutes at 10pm pst. voting in the eastern zones closed.

Goodnight
i'm done with the project, haha, yay. i'm so tired. it's raining outside again. and... yeah, the project doesn't look too bad. wax paper is impossible i never recommend using it, haha. use small scissors, and both elmer's glue and glue sticks. use a color printer, be creative. yeah that's about it.
so tired... i have a huge mess to clean up, *slides down blade of hand knife*, hehe. and my ring finger on my right hand is sort of sticky. there is paper everywhere, all cut up. the scissors were lying open but i just closed them. i sealed the glue. most of the little scraps are in one area =P. and yeah... there is this long scrap of aluminum foil dangling out of my froggy trash can. :)
sweet dreams!

help! i can't find it! i can't trace a flimsy notebook paper hershey's kiss with a pen! i can't erase with a pen! *screams*
did i mention, this is due tomorrow?
did i mention, this is due tomorrow?
Project Chocolate
my personal name for it, :).
in health/fitness... oh, and btw, it's different from p.e., because in p.e., you don't get homework, and health/fitness is required for one semester unless in 9th grade, which if you skip then, you take it full year in high school. anyway... our first big project - *waits for imaginary applause to die down* - is 101 WAYS TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. you pick an interest/hobby, to "personalize" your project. i love cookies and baking and etc. mine? 101 CHOCOLATE CHIPS TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. heck yeah, it's cool =P.
so here i go... i have my sharpies, pens, other writing utensils, huge sharp scissors (XD), elmer's glue (what kind of name is elmer's...??!) - ooh may i mention, it's school glue? i know! awesome right??! haha. -, aluminum foil (yes, really), wax paper (even more yes really!), and two sheets of this huge year calendar you get at 99 ranch (hehe) for free ('cause my parents would never buy a big gigantic poster-paper calendar at 99 ranch, or any place, unless it's free, then they're not buying it, they're just taking it!).
what i'm going to do? i have ten - really eleven, for the 101th way to a healthy lifestyle i mean chocolate chip - categories, so that equals ten hershey kisses! yay, i'm happy too! and then the wax paper is like, that paper thing inside the wrapping over the chocolate that reads hershey's or kiss or something like that. the valentine ones get even more detailed, ahha.
i need a finer-point sharpiee! arrgh! i don't know how to get the typing text onto the wax paper for the flying thing... ugh.
the two sheets of calendar get pasted together with the white facing out and the calendar part glued shut so you can't see it! smart, right? we use that stuff for covering up the window on our door during halloween. nobody comes to our house anymore, unless they go... "hey! why aren't they opening the door? i see a light!" but haha.
i glue the stuff all on the calendars, yay. and the title is the easiest, i just print that. the problem is, the calendar is sturdy but glossy, so very glossy. the kind of glossy it's hard to write on because it doesn't dry and just smudges. but that's okay! i'll work it out.
back to the project, will keep you posted...
you know... it's kind of hard to do this when the only opinion i get is from my 10-year-old brother, who hardly pays attention. he's like, "that's a pear. see the stem?" i'm like, "uhh... stupid, no. does it even resemble a chocolate AT ALL?" he says, "add more color." and then i try the aluminum foil and he goes, "ooh, yes." -.-... little kids...
i'm the kind of girl who if she messes up, fixes it. by throwing it away and starting again. haha just kiddin, sometimes i do, but i usually make do 'cause i'm smart like that.
next post... example of my hershey's chocolate kiss? i wish i could actually eat a kiss right now.

The Best Thing About Music
the best thing about music... hmm, this made me think. i love music, i listen to music every day - haha, meaning i listen to taylor swift everyday! - and i dance to it and sing to it. i fall asleep to it. i listen to it for hours until the music player freezes 'cause it's low on battery. in theory, music... is my life!
believe it or not, i actually like country. i almost love country music. i love taylor swift and her music, and in a sense, she sings country. and i listen to her all the time. ooh, and fyi - her new album fearless is coming out november 11! <3
music kind of makes you fall into it and just float while it's playing. in particular, taylor's single fearless (from the new album, if you didn't notice XD) makes me happy. i listen to it when i'm mad. i love singing to it. i love dancing to it. i love listening to it so late that none of the other songs work because the battery is almost dead, and then i turn it off and go to sleep. it plays in my dreams.
music is always there for you. i like listening to more peaceful, sweet, calm music rather than rock, but i do listen to rock. linkin park is the best, and maroon5, skillet... is music racist? sexist? sometimes, but not all the time. you choose what you listen to. you hate it, you block it out. you put your hands over your ears and scream when you hate the lyrics, the beat, the song in general. you turn it up so loud that the neighbor runs over complaining when you love it.
i'm listening to fearless right now. i'm smiling, i love the song so much.
you hide your mp3 or iPod in your jeans pocket, and then the headphones under your hood and nobody ever sees it, but they can hear the faint music playing because you have it up so loud. they don't know who it's from, and they don't know the song, but they dance to it anyway.
see... you take your faded pair of jeans, a hood, your iPod, and the rain and put them all together, and you get... magic.
try it, you'll see i'm serious.
and yes, i do sing in the shower.

Rain
it's coming down so hard against the window. you know what's cool? looking out of a window through the glass with the rain falling so fast it's just covered the entire pane with water sliding down it. it makes everything clear and wet and it's actually, beautiful.
misting, slowly spreading across the lawn
i watch as it shimmers down
leaving a mark on the window
wet
rain
it's not a great poem, but it's okay. i almost didn't post it because i didn't like it so much. you'll see better, though, on rain and cookies and candy and jeans. on summer, autumn, winter, rolling around to spring.
go dancing in the rain with me?

10 Secrets on Your Handwriting
so guess what i found on msn! it's pretty cool, and semi-accurate, =P. have fun decoding what you're telling your friends - or enemies - when you send a sweet message - or a death threat!
Be warned, though: Graphology is too complex to be boiled down into universal nuggets. So, take these with a grain of salt (and don't break out your prison flip-flops just yet).
1. Are your Us and Ws rounded on their bottoms? You're sensitive and maybe poetic.
2. Do you cross your Ts in the middle or at the top? The lower you cross your T, the less ambition you have.
3. Do you loop your Cs at the top? Then, to quote Carly Simon, you're so vain.
4. Are your As and Os tightly closed? Perhaps you're hiding something.
5. Do your letters slant every which way? If so, then yikes. Only 10 percent of the general population has a wobbly slant--compared with 70 to 80 percent of convicted felons.
6. Do you have the "felon's claw"? It's another hallmark of the criminal, and it occurs when you bring a letter straight down, then attach a claw-shaped curve to its end--say when you're writing the lowercase y.
7. Is your signature different from your regular handwriting? Then perhaps you're putting on an act.
8. Do the connecting swoops between your letters droop? Maybe you have a martyr complex, and are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
9. Is your handwriting spiky and angular? Relax. There's no need to be so tense.
10. Are your letters a bit squatty? If they're biggest in the middle zone, and don't extend much up or below the baseline, then you're perhaps a bit childish. The Disney logo, based on Walt Disney's handwriting, is a good example of this.

More on Happy Halloween
urgh. so the happy halloween - wonderfuly hyperlinked for your use - post was supposed to be at 12am october 31, HALLOWEEN, but... blogger doesn't exactly follow my laptop's time. it's just a few seconds off. dot, dot, dot.
but anyway. so i have to practice piano earlier today 'cause we have to get the lights off and pretend we're not home while we eat dinner, 'cause according to my dad, "it gets dark at 6:40pm". cough, cough. okay, dad... so then right after dinner we sneak out the house to church - XD - and anyone who sees us will think we're going trick or treating, which isn't good, but at least they won't know we're actually home, because we won't be! haha.
every year we stay inside, put a coat or something, strategically hung in front of the window on the door. turn off all the lights, and yeah, there you have it... we hide! when i was younger my brother and i wore our winter coats, pretended we were bats and built a fort. yeah, really.
i don't do that anymore. haha.
halloween dance/first dance... didn't go! nobody really went. nobody i really knew went, anyway. and it was just free pizza and soda and candy... yeah i know, "omigosh free food!" you needed your ASB/ID card to get in, and one kid didn't have it, so he waited for his mom to bring it to him. you also needed a signed permission slip. one kid forged his dad's signature. so yeah, there you have it. i wonder how it went. all black and orange. apparently the kids stand in a circle and jump. and sort of dance, and hang out and hug and chase each other around, oh and of course... eat the free food. hello? FREE FOOD why don't you take advantage of it?
i gave out a few hugs myself, yay!
so yep that's pretty much it for halloween. i saw a little girl at my brother's school/my elementary school wearing this little pumpkin costume, she was so cute. and there was this third grader from my third/fourth grade class wearing this mask that when you pushed this pump or whatever, fake blood came down from the top of the plastic enclosing mask. it was freaky at first, but then it was cool.
a friend of mine was a bar of soap/cheese/whatever you wanted him to be. it was just a cardboard box with three holes cut out for the head and arms. haha, yay.
some people wore the same costume again. others didn't wear a costume. there were no m&m's this year at the party! that sucks! i love m&m's! ooh, i got ghost dots, though. :) me.
smiley me, happy me, *happy dance*.
that's a jennifer phrase, DON'T STEAL IT!
haha love you guys, happies halloweens, ttyls!

Happy Halloween
i don't really like saying happy halloween, because it's the day of the devil and i'm Christian and i don't celebrate halloween, so telling everybody to have a happy one is sort of hypocritical in a way.
but yeah... tired now, going to go to sleep. blog more on halloween tomorrow. but i guess... happy halloween, you know? get the candy, but it's all sugar-coated.
if you get what i mean.
night, love, jennifer

"All About Love" ~ a poem
so beautiful and so perfect
i watched him go
and i cried
but i didn’t say a thing because i knew even if i did,
he wouldn’t have listened
because he loved me and it hurt too much
i asked the One with the reasons why
and He said "because I love you"
and then i ask
why is it all about love
when you make my heart break inside?

I Miss You Guys
seriously, i do. been kind of bored and kind of busy and kind of jumping around all week. trying to get up in the mornings... impossible. i just can't do it. which is really sad!
some weird updates... yeah, so. you know how when you go to get your hair cut, the hair cutter always cuts your hair an inch shorter than what you want it to be? 1 inch becomes 2, 2 inches become 3, and so on. and they are horrible at halves. 2.5 becomes 4, or even 5. hello? did you ever graduate from kindergarten? it's like, simple math here! but yes i did get my hair cut like two weeks ago - i was actually going to blog then, but never finished, saved it and never got back to it. ha!
currently experimenting with different blog backgrounds. i love dots - yes that's what this one's called - but i want some notebook/scrapbook thing, which i know will look really cool. i have a few that i might put up, only problem is it deletes your widgets, so i won't be adding any soon, which brings me to my next topic. but all the widgets i have right now are saved onto my computer so i'm good - unless there's some huge virus that comes and invades, and wipes out my entire hard drive. ouch!
about widgets... looking for a text scroller thing, so that i can generate one to scroll this really sweet poem i found online. *ahem, ahem, cough cough*. haha, yeah, it's great, it's titled "you" i bet you won't find it on google unless you know the site name! thanks a bunch sam d. >.<
what else... ooh, tons of math homework tonight. should go work on that. like right now. i really don't like my math class... way boring, way repetitive. i remember blogging about that sometime... see first posts!
gettin facebook soon when i'm thirteen, so i can finally start distracting myself more!
halloween's tomorrow, will post again tomorrow promise promise promise.
i thought i'd actually get a bunch of posts in this month, but hey... things change!
because these things will change, can you feel it now? these walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down, it's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win!
love taylor swift, she's my favorite singer. song? change, from her new album fearless... out nov 11!
twilight out nov 22, for those obsessed edward cullen fans, twilight fans, bella fans, jacob black fans, renesmee fans, alice fans, etc, etc, etc. oh oops, gave out a spoiler there... for those who haven't read breaking dawn, you won't know!
and that's a haha to you!
ttfn!

Life Goes On
seriously, it does. it doesn't stop to wait for you a second when you really need it.
10.13.08, aprox 2:30am... woke up with a stomachache, thought it was just because i was cold and got an extra pillow from my parents' room... o.O... tried going back to bed with the pillow, didn't help much. got out of bed, went back to my parents' room looking for this ointment thing that's supposed to sooth stomachaches and various pains, etc. didn't find it there, went into the bathroom and found it in my brother's area... zohhmg... i tried using it, it seriously didn't help. i think i reacted to it, which made it worse.
10.13.08, aprox 2:50am... couldn't stand it, couldn't sleep, went to find my dad. tells me to go back to sleep, which is a smart thing to do.
10.13.08, aprox 3am... stomacheache goes away, falls back to sleep.
10.13.08, aprox 6am... wakes up again, stomache hurts... thinks -.-... forces self to ignore the pain and drifts back into sleep.
10.13.08, aprox 6:30am... alarm rings, spirit105.3 starts playing. is way too hot under a million covers and that one pillow.
10.13.08, aprox 6:45am... second alarm rings (the last one, i have three but i only turned on two), really need to get up and get dressed and eat breakfast and rush out the door... stays in bed, X].
10.13.08, aprox 6:55am... dad comes upstairs, asks how i'm feeling. starts talking about pineapples, which actually has something in common with my stomachache. i think i ate too many last night during dinner, =/. tells me to get up, then asks if i want to stay, i think... we decide i'm getting up.
10.13.08, aprox 7am... dad comes upstairs again, tells me to get up or i'll be late.
10.13.08, aprox 7:05am... actually gets out of bed, puts on jeans and a t-shirt... somehow it takes five minutes...
10.13.08, aprox 7:10am... gets hair in a ponytail in three minutes... whoo...
10.13.08, aprox 7:13am... gets downstairs, pulls on aeropostale sweatshirts... amazingly warm inside of it, though i thought when i put it on, i'd freeze to death in it. dad goes, "hmm, it's 7:13 already." no comment from me. stare at food, try the soup, am completely unhungry... dad tells me i have to eat something, take two miniscule bites out of the plum and leave the kitchen.
10.13.08, aprox 7:15am... brings backpack downstairs, loads lolcatz eraser... =]... dad packs lunch, i go get socks (i seriously go up and down the stairs at least five times after breakfast, ((more like ten)) every morning i have to leave for school before i actually walk out the door), grab p.e. clothes and backpack, put on shoes and am out the door... yay, slow morning conquered? not quite.
10.13.08, aprox 8:15am... first period honors language, stomach hurts a little, possibly from plum.
10.13.08, aprox 9am... second period science, hungry.
10.13.08, aprox 11:27am... no appetite, forces down most of the sandwich, throws away crust and two 2-inches in diameter bread circles, o.O.
10.13.08, aprox 1:30pm... finally wakes up, i think. victory for jen... =].
so seriously. now i have a minor headache, but at least my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. i tried taking a shower at 5pm and fell asleep on the couch to the rythym of my brother tippity tapping away on the laptop... now he makes me use the laptop cuz he wants to use the other computer, haha.
i took the shower... yeah, yay... and put on the sweatshirt again.
I THINK SWEATSHIRTS MAKE ME SLEEPY.
supposedly doing educational homework, instead am blogging, talking on google chat, and eating a punch a-licious yogos roller (yogos rollers? that's what it says on the wrapping), from kellog's.
maybe the yogos will help me catch up to the 12 hours i've missed, working my way through the morning and part of the afternoon?
hopefully.

10.13.08, aprox 11:27am... no appetite, forces down most of the sandwich, throws away crust and two 2-inches in diameter bread circles, o.O.
10.13.08, aprox 1:30pm... finally wakes up, i think. victory for jen... =].
so seriously. now i have a minor headache, but at least my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. i tried taking a shower at 5pm and fell asleep on the couch to the rythym of my brother tippity tapping away on the laptop... now he makes me use the laptop cuz he wants to use the other computer, haha.
i took the shower... yeah, yay... and put on the sweatshirt again.
I THINK SWEATSHIRTS MAKE ME SLEEPY.
supposedly doing educational homework, instead am blogging, talking on google chat, and eating a punch a-licious yogos roller (yogos rollers? that's what it says on the wrapping), from kellog's.
maybe the yogos will help me catch up to the 12 hours i've missed, working my way through the morning and part of the afternoon?
hopefully.
love, jennifer

Faded Denim
i think the world needs a blog specifically centered on things that make you cry, smile, and maybe laugh a little at times, even when you think you can't. because a lot of the time, life isn't perfect, and you mess up, and there are things you go through that break you apart. sometimes you feel so much pain that you don't know how to deal with it. and sometimes you want someone so much that it hurts and kills you. but nobody wants to die.
which is why i started faded denim - because there just might be someone out there who really needs something torn, faded, old, and familiar to get them through the day. a pair of jeans that fit perfectly and are beautiful even though they weren't the most expensive thing in the world. a pair of jeans that've gone with you through countless nights lying awake, the tears softening up the fabric. the happy moments when you wrote down a word or drew something on the endless blue to remember it. and the one time it hurt so much that you didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
a piece of faded denim... you put it on, and you can feel it all, take it, smile or cry, and it'll be okay. just another memory to get you through life. just so you can live, love, and laugh.

(History of) Rocky Road Ice Cream...
... is only my favorite ice cream in the world! i've had nothing but vanilla up until i was eight, so if you'd asked me what my favorite flavor of ice cream was any age under eight, i would've answered vanilla.then global warming hit and everything was changed drastically in my ice cream flavored world.
haha. just kidding. (global warming's changing the enviornment drastically, though. so don't forget that. oh, and did you know only about a sixth of an ice berg sticks out? freaking sweet!)
i was home schooled up until second grade, so that's why i had vanilla vanilla vanilla ice cream. my dad was the one who bought all the ice cream and scooped all the ice cream (until i was maybe six. then i started scooping my own ice cream and gave myself extra, XD), but then i started public school and wha-la! jennifer's ice cream world's flavors expanded by a bazillion. :)! and rocky road is the best!
another interesting fact you might want to know: like the vanilla being the only flavor i'd tasted until age eight, the only music i listened to - besides the hymns at church and the chinese hymns on tapes all over the house - was classical music, in the car on the radio. why? my dad was the one driving and he always turned on the radio. my brother and i? we didn't really care, what else were we supposed to listen to, or wanted to listen to? oh, some chinese folk tale? nah, not so much.
so again, until second grade we ate only vanilla ice cream and listened to only classical music (KING 98.1fm) in the car. ha, were we "deprived of a normal childhood"? not really. or yes, until age eight. it wasn't so bad, i still answered vanilla as my favorite ice cream up until maybe... fifth grade? yeah i know, seriously. why? 'cause after vanilla came strawberry and chocolate! standard flavors, standard answers.
i actually didn't really mind it. oh, did i mention we also had the whole mix of it? neapolitan ice cream! yes, seriously. but like i said, i didn't care too much. vanilla ice cream is still one of my top five favorites (who can't love it, truthfully?) and strawberry and chocolate are still... hmm, actually higher on the list than vanilla oreo ice cream!
but did i mention i tune myself out whenever classical music comes on? seriously, i can't hear it!
<3 you all, have a scoop of that rocky road for me, i can't have any more tonight! ;)!
Rain
anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain. - anonymous
it just came down. i once wrote a poem about rain... disappeared with the other ones, i guess. makes me sad... :{... i want those back so bad. but yeah, i'm probably not going to get them back.
rain is like... the annoying tapping of fingers drumming on a desk over and over again, and it drivse the heck out of you the first time you hear it, but then you get used to it, and you fall asleep to it. which is exactly like rain, you might wish it to stop, but then you get to know it and love it and when you wake up and it's still there, raining, waiting for you. and you get dressed and run out the door and go dancing in the rain. and it's beautiful. and it's the only thing that knows that part of you that only rain can bring, and that's why it's your little secret, and it's why you walk right into it. so that your hair gets wet and you taste raindrops and you feel them on your skin, and your jeans get a thousand shades darker and your top sticks to you.
and that's what you love about rain.

Cookies n Cream Onions
it's just a random thought, but i wonder what they'd taste like. it's just like... hmm, instinct i guess, that people usually like cookies n cream without even tasting it or knowing what it is. it just sounds so good, cookies plus cream, like vanilla cream filling in chocolate oreos :)! oh, i also love pudding, vanilla, chocolate, and tapioca are my favorite, but then those are basically the only flavors, haha.
but i'm getting off the topic that's not really a topic but i'm blogging about it, anyway. i don't see how people actually cry when onions are present. it's like, what kind of idiot gets onion juice in their eye? nearly impossible, unless you're stupid, ha! and yes, onions kind of have this i don't know... hazy thing that makes you feel like you're walking in some sort of dream or something, it's really weird. but when onions are peeled and fried and cooked with tomatoes and eggs, it is so good! one of the best simple chinese dishes ever!
but yeah. the internet is finally up again from yesterday's hmm, "deprivation" for me (blogged about the internet on misc thought). i actually needed it yesterday, instead i'm stuck doing extra homework, -.-! anyway, once i finished my happy dance from the internet working again i just randomly thought, cookies n cream onions! which is actually kind of cool.
so yeah. oh and i'm having trouble spelling cream today. you know the spelling 'crème'? it's like, french, i think. anyway, that's one way to spell it, only this is the united states and we don't usually spell maybe, 'whipped cream', like that. so i'm spelling 'cream' with an 'e' at the end, which is actually driving me crazy.
okay i just hit a major blank out and i can't think of any more random things to blog about, so i'm going to wrap it up, like now.
oh, we had open house yesterday night, and it's just open house-ish, of course. teachers always seem excited, i have no idea why. it's like, hello, you're meeting my parents! gahh! haha!
i get social studies homework tomorrow, because i wrote a zero that looked like a nine, for the question: what is the exact date of the last day of the eighteenth century? the answer? december 31, 1900. oh oops... see i just typed 1990 and had to delete, i keep thinking it's 1990 now... arrgh!!
but it's okay, i'll live, i always just deal with it... 'cause what else am i supposed to do?
loves ya's, post later!

Emo Sock Puppets?
i don't think so, but they're cute emo sock puppets. and you can't really argue with that!
99% glad i actually finished all my homework way before 9pm today - seriously, who can be 100% glad about homework on any aspect? yes, i'm complaining, i'm literally on homework overload 24/7.
zazaziziz... anybody listen to linkin park? one of the best bands ever.
hmm... running out of things to talk about. it's kind of late (to my dad) but with us? it's never late. we can party until 5am, get an hour of sleep, claim we're "tired" and be driving everyone crazy because we're so freaking awesome - and awake.
but yeah, i guess that's it. oh, and you know what? i was worried about brushing my teeth, seriously! got to get over this dentist thing... but how can i when i can feel a "phantom"-numbness in my mouth? arrgh!
good night everyone! sweet dreams!
Ouch.
never want to do that again. apparently on the off chance, i was the one who got zapped with a cavity because in every one of your mouths is this one tooth that has an indent so deep that no matter how hard you brush it's nearly impossible to get any type of food that's stuck in there, out - so says my dentist :). it was an off chance. i got unlucky (for once, haha).
so yeah, a every-six-month dentist trip doubled into a four-days-following-september-25 dentist trip. and something i thought would take a half hour max turned into some crazy one hour and 15 minute appointment where i just lay there watching the little mermaid and sponge bob while i had cotton balls stuck in my cheek, under my tongue, and in the back of my mouth. oh, and did i mention this weird tool thing they stuck in between my teeth and had me bite down gently to hold my mouth open? and other things they used to drill a hole in my tooth, then fill it up with this icy (i think it was icy, sort of when some thing's so cold it's almost warm) stuff that stings. i must've winced a million times, but i was wearing sun glasses (they had me put it on so that i wasn't blinded by the light when i watched tv) so nobody could tell. o.O moment.
but still, that wasn't the worst part. i could stand the whole thing, but the one thing that i really hated was something they did at the very beginning. it tasted so bad! i think it was acid-y or whatever, but it was all bitter and you know how when you're at the dentist and you open your mouth and all this spit (i hate the world saliva) collects in your mouth and you have to swallow, only it's hard to when you're mouth's held open? but then after a while you learn how to do it, like after a few trips. or like ten. anyway, i know how to do it without closing my mouth (although it's kind of confusing... haha) but when i swallow i also taste a bunch of that disgusting-tasting stuff they put on my tooth. now that i think about it, i think it was probably the numbing stuff... but i thought that was supposed to taste good, like cotton candy or whatever.
i also had sealant to protect my teeth, from what, i don't know really, and don't care so much. it's just toothpaste, brush, rinse, floss, rinse three times a day... there's nothing much to say about the sealant actually. i didn't even know they put it on until i asked and my dad told me after when we were back in the car. so... that didn't hurt since i didn't know they were doing it, so yeah.
the numbing stuff was crazy. it made my mouth feel so weird, because they had the cotton balls in then the numbing stuff, and when they took the cotton out it felt like they were still in. it drove me insane, i hated it so much.
at least i don't have to get braces, XD.
so yeah. and... i was going to post way earlier, about this cold i got that made me lose my voice, that came from like my whole jy group, starting with one person and just kept traveling down. i gave it to my counselor ^-^, and that's pretty much it. it was a friday-sunday thing, that's all. i guess i never really "got around to it". if i did post... well, i didn't, so whatever i guess.
since the last time i blogged, i've used the "the thing about friendship..." blog about a million times. one of my favorite blogs, besides the one about saying goodbye to summer.
school's great i guess, really boring. hate getting up at 6am or even 7am, which is freaking late, since i have to be out of the house around 7:10am-7:15am, but i manage.
i always do.
oh, and one more thing before i close... thanks again, ben, for you know... you're the main reason why i decided i really had to blog now!
love you all!

And Hello to School
and, technically autumn?
God! you can't deny that you're excited now, can you? i mean just look at yourself! you just can't keep that smile inside yourself, can you? =P, face it - i'm always right.
but then, it's so easy to be right when you're always wrong!
woke up at 6:25am... that's when my first alarm (with the digital clock) started playing Spirit 105.3, at around 7:30am my second alarm (the one that's messed up but which i got to work by setting it to like, 9:30. it's an analogue clock) started beeping - like gah, it worked! i was still tired - then my third alarm never beeped 'cause for some reason it was set at 8:10am (10 min fast)... it should've been set at 7:10am i thought, but then it would've rang at 7am and given me near next-to-nothing time to get ready before leaving at 7:10am, -.-!
haha, one more thing about my clocks: did you know my first alarm is actually 30 minutes fast? so i get to set it at 7:55am, XD!
agh, it's 6:52 in the morning, this was jennifer and she has to run 'cause she'll be late!

Saying Goodbye to Summer
you know, i guess summer's just there, and you can't avoid it.
because... well, i guess summer means crawling back into bed and pulling the covers over your head at 11am to listen to the radio blast and try to relax. summer is trying to get out of doing chores and homework and taking care of your siblings. summer is flipping through weekly ads looking for supplies on sale. summer is begging your parents for this and that because you didn't have time to during the school year. summer is running outside in the grass through sprinklers with jeans and a tank top still on. summer is biking over every day to the high school to watch football. summer is throwing a tennis ball and being dragged down the street by a dog. summer is spending endless hours in front of the laptop IMing and emailing and watching stupid youtube vids until you fall asleep. summer is staying up until 3am listening to your mp3 because you don't have to get up at 6am the next morning. summer is summer.
so we'll let summer be summer and say goodbye because we can't ignore it and we can't hold on to it, either.

so we'll let summer be summer and say goodbye because we can't ignore it and we can't hold on to it, either.
Happy Labor Day
the standard title.
anyway, i'm not sure exactly what to blog about; just don't have anything to do on the laptop (for once) and so came back to the wonderful world of miscellaneous heartbreak (hold the applause... =P).
so yeah it's the last day of summer break - as the northshore school district will have it. and as it goes, it's also the most boring day of summer break. which reminds me, to make the day even more boring (or not)? i need some extra school supplies. haha yes i'm not completely done yet, but we don't have to bring supplies on the first day of school anyway so it's not a problem.
i guess... maybe i don't really completely want this to end, you know? i mean, you only get to be 12 once. and you only get to spend one summer being 12. and... you'll probably never get the same supplies again or beg your dad for something you'll probably look back on in ten years and think, was i really that immature then? or not.
as well all know it, we'll never have the time of our lives, 2008 summer, ever again.
but school's coming.
am i excited? heck, yeah. are you? heck, yeah even though you still won't admit it.
you and i will ride tonight 'til the past is out of sight, we don't have to look back now. from the dark into the light, we can leave it all behind. we can stand together, we don't have to look back now.

Stuff - in a Random State of Mind
planner? $5. graphing labels? $3, and huh? ti-84 plus silver calculator? $130-some. sept.-2-bbq? $3. school? six months of life.
not that i have anything against that, nope not at all. summer has gotten its best out of me.
writing - putting your heart onto paper late at night is kind of amazing. sitting there in old navy sweats and a tank top with the radio playing, leaning against the headboard with an old notebook on your knee and some pen in your hand? i feel like i can write anything, which i can, but it makes it all the more special.
anyways? nothing much happening anymore, i think i need a last minute shopping spree - but it isn't just clothes, it's school supplies too. eek?
but yeah i guess that's it. and heck, this blog took a long time 'cause i'm multi-tasking so much. six conversations (all IM/messaging) and blogging, and checking my email, and maneuvering windows media player. but anyway, did you know girls were born to multi-task? it's beautiful!
haha. g'night, see you guys tomorrow!

Waiting
6:59pm and in one minute the phone should ring. and it'll be for me! haha not so excited, actually. it has to do with 7th graders going to nsjh, it being their first year and everything, northshore has this WEB program (stands for where everybody belongs) where everyone's supposed to feel welcome and such and such. there are like, WEB leaders (9th graders) and i didn't know this before but apparently they call you? i don't know, :). but my dad said this one leader called around 5:30-6pm (i was at ihs watchin football, haha) and said she'd call back later 'cause i wasn't home.
and now it's 7:02pm! oh no! haha i'm just going a little crazy right now.
um... my yellow ducky? has this dark stain on his (yes he's a he, it says so on his beanie babies' card) nose because i had him in my backpack like two or three years ago, and i also had this banana in the same pocket and i forgot all about this banana, and when i took my ducky out again the banana had squished onto his nose and so he has a stain. and i don't know if it's actually a stain because i haven't tried washing it yet, even though for like a while he smelled like banana, which actually smells gross when it's on your ducky.
anyway, she just called and gave me a bunch of information that i already knew (monthly newsletters and this orientation back in like, march) but that's okay.
hmm, annoying brother at my side and i think i'm going to bike over to ihs again to watch them wrap it up at 7:45pm!
see ya!

Not so Busy and Bored
and yes, that, unfortunately, explains my life... as the last week of summer break will have it.
sucks, i know, because august has been absolutely packed and i have been loving every single moment of it - well, almost every single moment.
as we know, life is not always perfect.
unfortunately.
anyways, at least most of my friends are all back in seattle, finally! except for vivian who is going to miss the first day of school, o.O. but still, aug 24-30 is spent IMing and emailing a lot now that they're all happily (or not) sitting at home in front of their computers typing away madly (or is typing madly away? whatever!). i even talk to vivian some, now that i finally got around to editing her contact so that i can IM her. pssh!
uggh, also my windows movie maker is like messed up! say the lyrics start at 10 sec, if you play it up to there then stick the "play" bar somewhere before that - say at 5 sec - it'll totally junk up and start the singing at 12 sec or something. how am i supposed to match lyrics to that??
i'm actually working on a joe jonas vid for my friend, even though i don't like the jb like at all. they remind me of gay guys even if they're not. i mean i think they're ok, but they still remind me of gay guys so whatever haha. anyway... i can work on this vid 'cause it's just pictures and transitions, *rolls eyes*.
-.-! and my alarm sitting on my bookshelf rings at random times. i set it for 1 (just for test cuz it was like 12:50pm at the time, also it doesn't do am/pm just the closet one...) and i forgot about it, then yesterday night at around 9:45 it rang! and i tested again at around 11 and just turned it on and spun the little alarm hand around and around and it like, beeped at the 2 hand.
like, what?
see you guys soon! *IMing away until sept 2...*

The Thing About Friendship...
... is that it's not perfect.
but yes, when i say "i'm sorry", i really do mean it. even more than i mean everything else.
and... maybe everytime we don't think that it's our fault, maybe everytime we think the other should be the one to apologize but what if we're wrong? yeah, sometimes we may be right about the whole thing and the other should beg on their knees for forgivenes... but not all the time.
because, sometimes friends are the only thing you've got.

Hey, People
hey, people! so how has everything been going around and up and down? heck, i can't fully make sense of that sentence myself. oh well, i'm so beautiful you can't hurt me. =P!
haha, anyway... school starts in approximately six-seven days!... and i am ecstatic! although i need some last-minute-back-to-school shopping, but that's okay; isn't there some saying that goes: all's well that ends well? um yeah not exactly my type of quote or anywhere near my favorite but yeah i'm sticking it in here.
so, you may say you are absolutely not happy for school to start but i think i know you better - the laughs and smiles totally give you away! and don't forget i'm usually almost right about everything, *winks*.
anyhow, i will listen to you argue with me about how much it sucks that there's less than a week left before school starts (at least for me) but i will not completely agree with you or agree with you at all because i know you will be having the time of your life.
and you know, if you can't enjoy school, what can you enjoy?
it's your life.
see you sept 2, for those attending nsjh!

Golden Perspective
isn't it great to know that jennifer hasn't died?
maybe you'd never truly admit it, but if you stopped ignoring one small fact you'd realize that you really did miss me and was wondering where i was. am i lying to you, on that? no. am i being proud, or whatever? no, i'm not. i just want you people to realize a little more than just something today, at 6:30pm. or whenever you read this. but i know you'll be checking up and you'll read it someday, sometime, so you might as well...
get something out of this.
what kind of golden perspective are you getting when you know that no matter what, some part of jennifer will always love you?
every cloud has a silver lining... so go for it, stop denying whatever you're hiding.
i had the most life changing experience at the 2008 JY retreat ever. so the Holy Spirit was moving and working in us all; my heart is now completely Christ's home. sorry, but all the rooms are booked :).
i like you all, truly, i do. very, very much. you guys mean the world to me, and i just thought i'd better note to you that i'm still alive before i take off for an august sleepover weekend (i'll be back blogging sunday afternoon) - which, i am dying to have. summer, is just way too boring.
i went ice skating yesterday, the stupid skates kept rubbing against my ankle leaving this around 1-in by 1-in red oval spot that terribly annoys me.
wonderful new record: coke three days in a row and nobody knows about it but me! i am one fantastic person! hahaha.
and my favorite blog entry of the week...? or should i say, a-little-larger-than-small-quote?

you can be happy that she is coming back from olympia tonight
it's boring without jennifer on the blog
yes, i'm such a perfect little angel - beautiful and unbroken. no need to beg me to stay because i have already attached myself to your hearts and i will never, ever leave you.
don't you forget your amazing jen.
and thank you, ben.
i missed you too.

Ringing In
heys, you all - jennifer's back for a little to tell you how life's going, and such!
yes, i've missed you people, don't ever worry about me not. and... i've checked blogger every day just haven't blogged 'cause i haven't found a good subject. i was just going to sign out again when i thought... i won't blog for three days so might as well give it a shot.
'cause we all know when i start it works out. :D!
k anyway... so the reason i won't blog for three days will be because i can't blog. i'll be in olympia at black lake Bible camp for this JY Church retreat, sunday-tuesday. it'll be a blast and my friends are all counting on my being there this year (i skipped all of last year's two winter 'n' summer retreats)... so i'm not skippin' out at the last minute. :), hey i wasn't even thinking about that actually!
so anyway, my dad's picking me up at 9pm in the SCA parking lot... so i'll see you guys wednesday! well, maybe tuesday night if possible. :D!
well i guess that's it - life's been great, well actually it's starting to get very trying... i miss you all so, so much and i can't wait for school to start.
no, really! xoxo!

Insanity and Partying
jennifer is going absolutely insane with summer.
it's time for a late august party!
it's time for a late august party!

And Still, Summer
scratch that. how about and still, the not so glorious month of summer. i used to say i love every month and sure, truly, i do. but summer? this has gotten insane. how can you love summer when it is so uncharacteristically boring?
i am seriously wishing tomorrow would be sept. 2 and i could just get to school and live life normally again.
every second i'm breathing i want to just go somewhere, you know? i wish my JY retreat would just hurry up and start already, august 17th is so far away still... a whole other week. it's like living a millennium, especially since i'm feeling dead inside and i don't want to do anything. at all.
at least i've gotten back to blogging...
should i say, improvement?!
*sigh*... love from jen.

Death on the Horizon
i think... you know you're really dying when you get this emptiness inside and you don't know how to fix it, and somehow you know that you really can't.
but what do you do when it's happening now?

Movie Week
am i allowed to say the most exciting movies of the summer are out this week? :)
anyway, i went to see the 1:10 showing of the mummy: tomb of the dragon emperor and it was great only it seemed really short... like everything happened in half an hour? really it was just 1 hour 45 minutes but still that isn't really long anyhow. i still liked the movie a lot, wasn't too romantic and the violence wasn't too high.
it was awesome, i can't wait to go see another movie with some friends sometime, should be even more fun!
other movies showing (most of which are rated pg-13 but it's like, so?): the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 (a total MUST-SEE for me! pg-13), mama mia (sure whatever, pg-13), stepbrothers (trailer was hilarious, rated r), wall-e (i think? rated g and i do not want to watch it that much, if not at all).
and... coming december 12... twilight, based on the new york times bestseller by stephenie meyer. i absolutely have to see that one!
yardwork... way to ruin my good mood, eh? jen loves you!

"Awakening" ~ an Etheree
AWAKENING
mist
in the
morning when
i wake up just
to see the sunrise
the cold dew on the path
i take freezes me in my
tracks before I can get up to
the tree where I will watch the sun get
up before I have to go back inside.

Something Stupid
how are you supposed to tell how many views your profile/blog gets if the only time you can check is on the profile page AND every time you check it actually counts it as one view!
S-T-U-P-I-D!
yes i am actually blogging.
yes this is actually jennifer.
yes i am insane.
yes i meant insane as in a special way.
yes i mean just plain special in the two previous sentences.
no i am not hyper!
i'm not kidding i'm actually not hyper. just bored, and slightly happy.
isn't that good?

Heys, Again
heys from jennifer, sorry i haven't blogged in "forever", no haha, just sorry i haven't blogged when i thought i was in the mood for it. to be truthful, i was in the mood just didn't know what to write about. no, seriously. :)
it's like, what, 80 out? well actually 78 but whatever...? it's an ice cream day, trust me; i was out since 3pm which is crazy because it was like 85 (fine, 84) then? actually if you're out right now it feels like 90 (85) but... that would be a two-ice-cream-bars day and you know the weird thing about parents? they can be obsessed over exactly what weather it is out the door when it comes to ice cream. i know, strange, right? they're like... "no, no, it's not that hot out you don't need two!" and you're like "fine...", but inside you're going: 'i'll just sneak one, hehe ;P'.
i already had one but i'm not tellin my daddy 'cause he won't know, since it wasn't even at my house. :) it was alex's. :P
i have to do yardwork at 5:30pm, it was supposed to be 5 but i said it was too hot, my dad said there was shade on the "designated area" by now and i went to check and it was partly shady but i still told him it wasn't. i mean, what kind of dad would go check rather than believe his daughter? he-llo i'm an innocent little angel here!
so... what's up with life? and now you can't say life 'cause it's in the question! okay i think i'm just going insane now. maybe the heat's gotten to me, even if it is only 78 degrees. oh WELL just another excuse for ice cream! :)
ttyls, love from jen!

"Leave Out All the Rest"
i dreamed i was missing, you were so scared
but no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
after my dreaming, i woke with this fear
what am i leaving, when i'm done here?
so if you're asking me i want you to know...
when my time comes, forget the wrong that i've done
help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest...
leave out all the rest...
don't be afraid
i've taken my beating, i've shared what i've made
i'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
i've never been perfect, but neither have you
so if you're asking me i want you to know...
when my time comes, forget the wrong that i've done
help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest...
leave out all the rest...
forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
i can't be who you are...

And Again
so.
i'm a little tired so my thoughts are a little mixed up and random right now... also i have one earphone in my left ear so it's a bit harder to focus with rock, pop, dance, country, etc, and more playing softly in my ear (volume at 1)... :).
anyway let's see where i left off... *thinks while the first minute of stranger plays*... um, okay, so there's this girl from nj and she was like really, really annoying. she seriously thought everybody liked her but in truth not many did; she followed people around everywhere and made some strange comments. but, like, yeah... we put up with her. she brought these stuffed animals and hid them under the covers, i know. at the end, on sunday, she actually gave me a hug and i just like stood there, >.<.
my friends decided i'd room with them for the two nights but on the second night this girl (who originally was staying in the dorm)'s mom told my friend and i that we couldn't stay there and kicked us out. it was weird because she'd put up with it for four nights already. then she told the parents that she was afraid we'd catch a cold sleeping on the floor. lie! she told us there "wasn't enough space", *rolls eyes*.
i think the worst part about the whole conference was riding up and down the elevators; my original dorm (513) was also on floor 5, and sometimes waiting for the elevator can be so slow! and taking the stairs in both the main building and tinglestad (my dorm building) makes your legs ache, especially when you're almost sleep-walking which, i never do :).
info collected from sunday after the first song sung that i can remember/stood out to me: 1 registered from israel (jerusalem, speaker lance lambert); 1 from germany (totally cool!); a bunch from china and those places (haha); people from arizona; austin, texas; of course new jersey; and - 436 from washington, which makes sense, haha :). all in all, those registered at wccc were 1202!
it was a fun weekend to experience God - thank You!
i'm a little tired so my thoughts are a little mixed up and random right now... also i have one earphone in my left ear so it's a bit harder to focus with rock, pop, dance, country, etc, and more playing softly in my ear (volume at 1)... :).
anyway let's see where i left off... *thinks while the first minute of stranger plays*... um, okay, so there's this girl from nj and she was like really, really annoying. she seriously thought everybody liked her but in truth not many did; she followed people around everywhere and made some strange comments. but, like, yeah... we put up with her. she brought these stuffed animals and hid them under the covers, i know. at the end, on sunday, she actually gave me a hug and i just like stood there, >.<.
my friends decided i'd room with them for the two nights but on the second night this girl (who originally was staying in the dorm)'s mom told my friend and i that we couldn't stay there and kicked us out. it was weird because she'd put up with it for four nights already. then she told the parents that she was afraid we'd catch a cold sleeping on the floor. lie! she told us there "wasn't enough space", *rolls eyes*.
i think the worst part about the whole conference was riding up and down the elevators; my original dorm (513) was also on floor 5, and sometimes waiting for the elevator can be so slow! and taking the stairs in both the main building and tinglestad (my dorm building) makes your legs ache, especially when you're almost sleep-walking which, i never do :).

Like Whatever
i seriously do not know what to do. like... agh i'm completely clueless i can't pick a single thing to kill time with, it's so stupid. so... i finally decide on blogging, i know, haha. hmm... story of my life.
the tacoma-thing was great, pretty fun i guess. we like, eh i saw a bunch of friends and met tons of new people but it's like... the friends i really care about aren't there to have a fantastic time with me. which, i didn't have because they weren't there. so, my non-existent fantastic time is still and always will be non-existent.
:)... haha i know yesterday's "blog" was short, but hey i kept my promise, didn't i? alright fine it was really, really, really hecka short but that's okay.
yeah i was just really, really, really tired. i like, fell asleep during the sat night and sunday morning singspirations. it kinda sucked; the last song on saturday was just sooo slow and sunday i didn't have a hymn book so i couldn't sing along and plus we were on the stage with the lights bright. haha, actually, i did fall asleep sunday, not that i'm proud of it or anything. :)
the cup noodles every night were cool, but like there was always someone patroling each floor and like you couldn't sneak out until maybe after 2am, unless you had to use the restroom. the first night i was there (friday), scott (he was patroling floor 5 at the time) came up to dorm 543 and told us that people could hear us from the elevator. ouch!
we played speed and looked at those stupid teen magazines until 3:36am, and in the morning i actually woke up by myself at 6:16! no wonder i was tired... though i can't see how i could be tired on sunday when i actually did get sleep, haha. saturday was not my day and sunday was okay until i got back, then everything got better. :)
the messages were really good, except sunday's main mtg was a little hard to follow on. oh wells, wccc was great.
i have tons more to tell and i'm actually up for blogging today so i'll blog again later.

Last Time to Say Goodbye
if you read dear, you... love, me i said in there - at least i think i did (haha) - that i get excited about trips and events and stuff and then the night or something, the moment before it's about to happen, i get nervous. i like just don't want to go anymore. and heck, i know it's weird but i guess since i really haven't been anywhere since two years ago when my grandpa (dad's dad) died in taiwan and we went to visit like the relatives/attend the funeral... and i spent my birthday there and everything. so... it was great and stuff i enjoyed it, i love my relatives in a way i guess; they kinda "spoil" my brother and me, :). popsicles and ice cream and dinner out every night and tv and stuff like that for the whole week.
but i'm just talking random now.
you know it's getting better i'm finally blogging again, i think. who knows it could just disappear but that's okay i'll be able to pick myself up again like i can do with my friends and stuff. but like i'm not saying stuff doesn't hurt me just... well... i can fix it.
most of the time. but broken hearts never heal after you...
so. last time to say goodbye, i really am leaving tomorrow. i mean i'm at the sleepover and everything we watched george lopez and now disney channel's the suite life of zack and cody, haha, i know. but i'm just blogging 'cause i miss you guys.
i might blog again tomorrow morning. well take care, i'll see you all sunday afternoon... :). haha it might not make that much of a diff since once i didn't blog for like a week. but... fine. i promise i'll blog sunday if it kills me and i have to stay up and type until my fingers ache to get it in before 12am.
good night! i'm kinda excited, actually. :D.

Dear, You... Love, Me
dear you,
hey so... i really don't know why i'm doing this, exactly? heck i guess it's not really motivation. maybe i've gotten a little crazy over the past year and i just want to do something that really tells the world something about me? gosh, i don't know. it's a blog, lol. aren't they like, supposed to be up there for the world to see?
so i'm leaving tonight, well technically tomorrow and i won't be back until like sunday... you know something about me? i get excited to go places but then like on the day i'm leaving i just don't want to go anymore. it's like i freak out. weird, right?
that song... i miss you? by blink 182? yeah well... i listen to it because... sometimes you miss a person and the only thing you have left of them at the moment is one song. and even if you don't like it, you still listen to it because you love the person more than anything else that really matters. so like... love counts more than some song you listen to. that's why i listen to it... listen to your song.
but tell me this: is it really love if he's breaking your heart?
love, me

Hopelessly Motivated?
i'm going to start writing these random, sort of personal, quiet, kept-to-myself letters from me to just someone who i haven't talked to in a while. and like... you know how it's different if you've trusted someone and you guys were like, best friends, but then all of a sudden you two just sort of fall-out and don't know how to piece it back together again?
yeah.
i'm hoping, well just maybe, this letter-thing will get me blogging more again. i don't know, gosh maybe i'm just hopelessly motivated but i guess it doesn't really matter. i'm not desperate, it's weird, just like... well i blog again, and it makes me feel good and i want to do it again but like it just never happens.
i'm a little sad over something but i'll get over it.
i'm just gonna give this a shot.
yeah.
