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.

Love!

true love means loving someone more than you love yourself. - jennifer

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!

Friday, August 8, 2008

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!
