A bunch of links for no solid reason:

hahaha so i went on google today,
and i saw their new logo,
and i went "oh that's interesting i wonder what thing launched today" or whatever, but when i hovered my mouse over the logo nothing popped up.
so i clicked the logo and it did a google search for
"unexplained phenomenon"
and so i clicked the news link,
(google always puts related news articles first),
and got this.
which after reading it, made me laugh.
me: HAHAHAHA.
just kidding. (not like that)
and in the article it mentioned a top ten,
and going back to the search page i found that too,
which is located here.
and now i'm going to stop talking like that because it's driving me crazy hahaha. but yeahh, i just felt like doing a blog post after i read that.
i'm so sorry about not blogging! i blogged THREE TIMES in august. sad, huh?
but school started three days ago and i already have homework and i'm busy, but i'm still sorry.
it's an unexplained phenomenon why i don't blog, hahaha.
not really(:

but yeahh, were you confused with the new logo too?
--
as long as it's still summer, the blog is still sweet summer kisses. not sure when summer ends, but i think miscellaneous heartbreak is too depressing and i might change it to a happier name :)
sounds good?

with much love,
jennifer

link total: 5. in my head it seemed like a lot more. HAHAHA.

LOVE YOUU LOTSS

I'm a lazy butt. :)

LA was great! so was san fran - although it was sooo cold the whole time i was there! (that was two week's ago: jul 22-26, LA was jul 26-28) got home 11ish/12ish pm/am - wow, that was weird - tuesday night. when we were landing back in seattle the pilot said it was 96 in seattle! that was at 8:30pm! insanee :), love seattle! the saddest thing was that the next day, every place i'd been to in calif was cooler than here! bakersfield, which was 103 that sunday, was only 90-some. and even when it was 103 it was just humid, like stuffy, and not hot. LA was 80-some and san francisco was - haha - 66.
but i'm happy to be back, anyway. i guessss
i really miss LA/SF sometimes! maybe seattle is too boring for me, hmmm ;)
went to a sleepover last night, got back 5ish today. watched 10 things i hate about you, the movie - i love heath ledger in it!! - and another cinderella story. stayed up until 4.
oh! and universal music studios was really awesome, loved the jurassic park ride! the 84-ft vertical drop is the bomb!! the mummy ride is really short but you're closing your eyes and screaming the whole time. if you ever have kids, there's this huge - okay not huge, but there's this thing of curious george in universal and it's like this whole waterworks thing, the little kids love it.
but sorry about the lack of blogging! i'm just waaaay too lazy! i haven't done like ANY homework since i've gotten back! and can you believe school is "just around the corner"? it's already august, my summer's almost over :(
i'll miss you luke robinson!!

Jennifer Lee is in San Francisco

sweet dreams :)

Yes, Now, When it's totally last minute. So like me.

someone said "who goes to payless anymore?"
oh SHUT UP.
he was a guy.

and i am fully aware my titles are turning into my facebook statuses. i'm sorry. no, not really. it adds character. HAHAHAHA. stressed. about cal.

I hate not being able to go to Payless :]]//alsdjkf.

I'M BLOGGING; I'M BLOGGING. i'm trying to since i'm leaving tomorrow morning x)... cali here i come :]]
but the thing is it'll be so freaking HOT while i'm there. i'm going to die. i hate the heat, it makes it impossible to enjoy anything. i wonder what universal music studios is like - i hope it's indoor. AC, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
i just realized there is a lot of yelling in this. caps ftw. hahah :p
i went to staples yesterday. yep. but we didn't go to payless and i really want to go. and i also need to go buy shorts and t-shirts today; ugh when you pack last minute you realize everything you don't have, also last minute.
but yeahh... flight sometime tomorrow morning, leaving at 9? will be back tuesday next week.
ahhh theheattheheattheheattheheat.
black keys by the jonas brothers (yes i know, jb) is a really good song. sad but sweet. good.
like homemade chocolate chip cookies.
AHHH it's even hot HERE, bing's weather for LA/SF is... ohh thank You God, i just looked up the weather for SF again - okay i actually have not ever, which is why i'm all "ohh" - and it's 64 TODAY. RIGHT NOW. AND THE TEN DAY FORECAST SAYS A FEW DAYS WITH 60-70 SOMET DEGREES. i'm screaming. i'm happy. hmmm and all the days i'm there it's only mostly sunny. i love clouds now. hahahha.
but LA is still killing my confidence and fun-factor. 90 some. :(
but HEY, i will miss you!!!

I love: stouffer's lasagna/my rice is growing mold. AND CALIF!!

that's life for you hahah.
things i need to do:
1. email. I love you beth cooper?
2. go to staples.
3. PAYLESS. clearances and sales... :)
4. pack. going to calif --

YES. leaving wednesday, flying on united, please don't show up on my plane, in my seat. universal music studios july 27! i love youu. will miss you so much!

I gave up my dream for you.

so i never entered the bing contest. i thought i could today but apparently it closed yesterday.

that's okay.
as long as you succeed.

Photography is My Love :)

also today i heard someone say that because they're conservative they don't believe in global warming.

makes me miss someone soooo much right now.

What Happens when My Friend Uploads a New Photo Album

Troll

yesterday actually.

it's like the 3 billy goats story, haha. and it's really weird looking and there's this old-fashioned slug bug under its hand.

haha.

July: Sweet Summer Kisses & Bing on Facebook!

so. today, actually just now, i changed my blog name... to sweet summer kisses. temporarily or forever, i don't know. but if i changed it now, i'll probably change it later. plus, miscellaneous heartbreak is too deep to lose haha :)
also changed the URL so if you're looking for this it won't be here anymore. the new url is: http://www.sweetsummerkissesx.blogspot.com. unfortunately for me, haha, i had to add the x since without it, the name was already taken. pfft. on FACEBOOK it's open. :)
so anyway i thought it'd fit better and be more happier and better for summer and i think it's super cuutee :)

anyway that's about it, but oh! PLEASE submit a photo into bing's photo entry contest! i think you only have a week left and basically you just upload any photo on summer to it and people rate it and if it gets the best ratings, you get a spot on the home page. not a big prize but still, kind of cool. and i love bing!
oh and also i should've put this up there but the contest is on facebook. so yeah. haha.

For Lack of Nothing Better To Do

here's a blog post... :)

finished dog sitting monday. was fun but kind of exhausting, since my dad doesn't want the dog in the house so i was running back and forth every two hours.
i'm also memorizing acts 7. ordered by my dad, whom i LOVE if this comes off as a "ahh my dad is so annoying" type of thing. it's 60 verses long and i'm on verse 50. yes, it can be done.
am missing alderwood mall. & RTC. especially bath & body works... :)
am especially missing ----, see the facebook status above.
tomorrow i'm making lasagna and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, i think :)
i REALLY need to get to IHS! i remember spending hours there last summer, biking around. wonder when the football thing starts, i'll have you know, i'll be there.

love always!

p.s. oh and i also cleaned up my desktop today. i have vista, and so i have that really awesome sidebar thing on the right of the screen, but my problem was that i had so many photos and etc cluttering my screen that they went past the sidebar, like under it, so i couldn't actually access any of them... HA.

HEY; updates, ily

so last week i went to RTC and had a blast. and let me tell you, bath & body works is the best plast ever. i love it there. i love all the samples and everything it smells amazing and the atmosphere is just "to die for".
i know the fourth of july post was kind of short/quick but i hope you guys had a good one! and are not so lame as to take firework pictures off your TV. like me. (call me - hahaha.)
ANYWAY: will be hanging with some of my favorite people to spend hours with tomorrow :), making sushi and those spring rolls with the transparent wrap. vietnamese? and curry, and some desert of a sort.
yesss i know blogging's been really short and i'm so sorry! i miss you guys and it's summer so i should post more. oh and can you believe it's already july? summer feels half over. almost.
I LOVE YOU GUYS; hope your summer's GREAT!

Alrightt; HAPPY 4TH OF JULY :)

hey guys! are you setting off those fireworks!? i just realized it's been over a year since i started blogging... :).

i love the fireworks. so beautiful. and i'm SO FREAKING HAPPY, we have this day. and why we have it. because it's so important and sometimes it's not all about the bright lights, the fireworks. if you think about it, today's about

you

RIP, legend, you will be missed.

crazy right? he's one of those people you thought would be around forever. it kind of scares you too, he was only 50. and we just found out what... 10 minutes ago? and now EVERYBODY knows. sad thing is, farrah fawcett died today too, and now nobody knows. or cares. the "today" window that pops up when you sign into windows live messenger used to have her death as the biggest news and now, as of 10 minutes, it's michael jackson.

for those of you who haven't heard - are you insane? of course you've heard, here's a link: michael jackson dies at 50

I Love My Daddy Day

double photos. :)

also wrote a note on facebook; it's a short story i read in a book that i found really cute and funny so i decided to put it up for father's day. I LOVE YOU DAD.

Go Fishy

like, creepily ugly. INTENSLY ugly. like instead of their little goldfish bodies growing, their EYES grew instead. they like, kind of bulge out. so they're huge and they look kind of like orange scaly hammerheads. only the hammerhead part is the eye.

thanks susan, for that mental image.

CD Swapping

like my favorite person in the world.

And I Survived 7th Grade, Be Proud of Me

i think today's the first time it ever rained on my last day of school. that's okay :).

spent half and hour talking to jasmine about becoming fashion designers. j&j :). i'm going to miss you sooo much!

IPhone 3GS

click here, it's actually a music video by julian smith :)

Josh Wilson

has dibs on the one CD i really have to have right now.

click here to listen to amazing grace, which isn't off of the album i want but is the only official, not-fan video i can find from him on youtube. :/. when i get the album, i'll upload it ALL.

he actually sings, but that video is of him playing the song on his guitar and it's pretty cool haha so click click click :)

trying to fit the ocean in a cup.

So. CMT's and More.

so i know i said i'd be updating via facebook and here but i actually went out from 7:30-10, so i wasn't able to watch like... anything else from the CMT's. but what's really hilarious is the videos cmt posted that i watched when i got back, including thug story, which is actually a rap by taylor swift featuring t-pain. cool right? will hyperlink later.
but anyway, since i wasn't here then, here i am now: taylor actually brought home two awards; she lost wide open country video of the year and CMT performance of the year which were both nominies for the video "photograph" which she sang with def leppard. however, the two awards she did win were the most important of all: female video of the year AND video of the year!

love story.

she's amazing. right now she's back in los angeles, california :). and a sorry to all the taylor fans reading my blog that were counting on the updates. :/

later: i actually DID post "video of the year. love story." on my facebook status when i got back at 10pm but today i changed it to "I love you Josh Wilson :)" - will explain later :) - and forgot to do a screen shot of the CMT update.

Female Video of the Year. LOVE STORY!

guess who just won female video of the year for love story?!? TAYLOR SWIFT!
don't forget you can watch a live streaming of the award show on cmt.com! click here to watch :)

on voting for video of the year: you can vote as many times as you want until voting closes. if you're texting in your votes, remember you can only do this with verizon.

CMT's

Video of the Year - Love Story
Female Video of the Year- Love Story
Wide Open Country Video of the Year - Photograph with Def Leppard
CMT Performance of the Year - Photograph

she lost wide open country video of the year, but there are still three others and right now text 8611 SWIFT to vote for video of the year - love story, ONLY IF you have verizon. if not, vote on cmt.com and you can do that by clicking "cmt.com" and then clicking "vote", or you can just click the link on "video of the year - love story"!!

Birds Being Awake at 3am

the night i was up until five... :). i made my friend randy stay up with me the whole time on facebook so that i wouldn't get lonely and bored and sad that i wasn't sleeping, too. haha thank you randy, you are the best.

birds are up at 3am on friday mornings. thursday nights are so long when you're working on english.

What Dinner Will Teach You

edits i did... photo. did a screen shot like i always do; :)

Movie Theater Bathrooms

just got back from night at the museum 2 and it is actually really funny in some parts. i'm telling you to go watch it; it's not actually a waste of money. my dad keeps trying to convince me that i don't need to see night at the museum 1 at all, that the two are NOT related in ANY way, which actually isn't true, because there's some references to something that happened probably back in the first one. run on sentence.
ben stiller :)
and owen wilson... yes, the guy from marley & me. i love him.

Facebook Update

basically everything i've been up to the past week :)

Black Lake. My Four Day Weekend.

it was actually pretty fun; i didn't really do anything though. i babysat the kids at the nursery for basically all of monday and sunday evening was spent walking around in the shallow end of the water. my arms got so sore from carrying the little kids back and forth because they were too tired to walk and it was really hot out. funny, because in the morning it was freezing.

the food was good. i wish i had more cherry coke... ;)

i took pictures. view one on point and blog.

may 21, love; today is beautiful

me & a camera: that was yesterday :)

turns out i can't make a slideshow with my pictures unless i put them online? help me. i got them on facebook, though, and to see them all, click the link, because:

may 21, love; today is beautiful

who needs a twitter, hmm?

Dandelion Seeds

today is so gorgeous. went outside and sat on the pavement that was on the way to inglemoor. i took some pictures and made a heart out of these leaves... i should set them to a slideshow. the track meet was going on over at the high school, and when i was there around an hour ago, this little boy went and hid in the honeybucket because he didn't like the gunshot that started the race ;). super cute.
i picked at the gravel to get a rock to hold down my leaf heart... ended up just looking for an already loose rock instead. flicked tiny bugs and spiders crawling over my notebook. and my notebook paper. and my pencils. and my bob the tomato and larry the cucumber eraser. :), love.

my dad had been worried that i'd be kidnapped. i told him that really, a cell phone would mean we were just a phone call away. he said that if i were being kidnapped, i wouldn't have time to call him. i told him i'd put him on speed dial 1. he still didn't believe me. i walked home. safely. i think i was out there for almost an hour. sweetheart.

my favorite part?

i spread dandelion seeds :)

And I Still Don't Know

some guy called me monday and i have no idea who because i was in the bathroom. conveniently huh, jennifer? my brother picked up and told me whoever it was said something like, "is jennifer there?" and when he said no, "oh okay, i'll call back later".

what i focused on was the "i'll call back later".

and i still don't know.

Since I'm Beautiful Like That

hahaha, right. but it's so fun. to dance around the streets - or try to, heels don't let you do much of anything. :]

love.

Because I Love Music

Spiders and Nerf Guns and Jennifer

sorry it's been like forever! it's been the type of week where you think it's going by so slow but really it's already almost friday. also, for every day of the week i've thought it was friday. time passes by so fast once you get past your sixth birthday. it's like one night i looked back on my day and realized it went by finally without me noticing. it's sort of a good feeling.
i need you guys to do something for me: vote for parachute's song she is love on vh1! i love them and the coolest thing is that it's my friend's cousin's band! another fun thing is that the music video hyperlinked - click it, you'll love it - isn't actually the official video! if you read the description, they say that their friend shot it for them - i know, it's so professional you wouldn't have noticed would you? i didn't! but anyway, they're going to be on the vh1 countdown!
okay, how to vote for them, made extremely simple:
click this link: vote for parachute's song she is love and find their song on the scroll column on the left and then click and drag over to the #1 slot and hit submit! please, i will love you so much :). another thing you could do... vote for plain white t's song 1234 as number two :].
i love you guys!

edit: also hyperlinked their myspace (linked plain white t's too). their original band name was sparky's flaw! if you feel like it, leave me a comment or email me telling me which name you think is better - personally i'm all for parachute :]

Did You Say I Love You Mom Today?

Just Some Blog Entry

just spent an hour and a half on the phone when i really should've been doing homework. haha i suck i'm going to be up until 3 finishing my project tomorrow. SHOULDN'T BE BLOGGING!
photo: i love those things. the little notifications that pop up and ding when my status changes. i don't care if it's just an email i'm getting but if it notifies me that it's changing my status when i press play on the media player (it should really do that every time i press play and a song isn't up there already, but with the new messenger i downloaded like, a month ago, it doesn't do that... sad!) i love it. haha weird right? i think i just love the line "changing your personal message".
yeah i think i should get to my homework now. before i drive you all insane. oh and yes i'm going to do a knowing review soon. still busy, at least i got the that's what she said! entry done ;]
go check it out if you haven't yet!

That's What She Said!

haha i know, finally it's up. ahh the sun is so spazztic today. i know that's probably not a word.

it's like everywhere now. sometimes i blurt it out subconsciously if someone says something that would just fit. you know? it's really sad actually, because i never used to until recently people started going around and yelling it like it's their last day on the world and they want people to know they're not major nerds who have no life. which means they have to run around saying "that's what she said!" to almost everything. because almost everything fits. sad right? that's what she said! see?
but don't be like... an idiot about it. don't go around saying, "eww you guys are so sick" whenever someone yells it. if anything, just shrug and not comment. but don't say the person is sick minded because it's a joke and yes it's not something you'd say in front of the disciplinary principal but if you ever hear it, get the point of it, teasingly slap the person - this usually works because it's usually the guy who says it around a girl, so the girl conveniently slaps the guy - and laugh.
and that's your "that's what she said!" tip of the day.

You Belong With Me

she did it again. taylor is amazing. i can't express how much i loved her new video. (HIT THAT HYPERLINK) it completely blew my mind - it's the best she's ever done. and i know i probably said something along the lines of that with her previous video, white horse, but this one is just incredible. it's fantastic. it's funny and cute and i don't know how many people can relate to this song. i was freaking out when i realized it premiered this morning and wasn't premiering tonight! she's awesome!
her love interest is lucas till from hannah montana: the movie. i know right!? he was perfect. (ooh, taylor has really good taste in guyssss :P) and if you actually pay attention, you can tell that taylor played both parts of the girls! she was the sweet, smart, underappreciated girl and also the stuck-up, cheerleader material one. sweet right?!
i love how they live right next to each other and pass notes. and i love how the exact same scenario could happen in real life. and i especially adore the note passing. and how she takes off her glasses to go to prom and just completely dazzles him! (ooh, twilight reference. new moon out in november!)

i love you.
and i'm going to amaze you, too. because --

YOU. BELONG. WITH. ME.

Facebook Screenshot

on breaking love. got some very sweet comments. especially the one featured -- alan: Love like fish darting through hands truetrue haha. this is real gud considerin the constraints!

edited my picture out again. don't know why i usually tell you guys... feels like i'm lying or something if i don't. hmm, weird right?

click the picture so it's bigger and you can read it. i actually went and did some formatting, like italicized some words and indented the poem. which requires codes. yay, codes. :)i know, i said i'd blog about that's what she said! but i need to do a movie review first... knowing review out this evening? ;]

another update: taylor swift's you belong with me music video premieres TOMORROW. i had no idea she was done with it since she's on tour! she's amazing!

i'm getting into the italics.

Breaking Love

in english we were assigned a "10 line poem" where we had 10 books and opened randomly to a page in the book and copied from any beginning of a sentence until we reached the end of the line on our paper. then we used these words to make a poem... but we could only add one word and we could only use the words copied down. thankfully, we could change the tense and endings... not that that made it any easier. this sucks. soo much. it's not like what i'm used to writing, i don't feel free enough. it's like i'm forced to write something that sounsd good with boring, empty words.

Love like fish darting through hands
He said he’d see me back here
He didn’t
Love only slightly different from the rest
Looking for thoughts
He rolls his eyes
Love falling silent
Nothing to show why
He did it

Poems

i know i said my next post was on that's what she said! but the poem is better.

no, it's not about my boyfriend or a boyfriend. i have this 10 line poem assignment in english and i was about to get started on it when i just opened up a new word doc and typed that. in less than 30 seconds. (shout out time) my friend randy said it was good. that makes me happy.
you kind of have to read it like it's typed. like and on and off rhythm. a kind of sad, break up feeling. if you don't it doesn't have the perfect broken heart ring to it.
yeah i know. didn't think i was poetic huh? wrong. didn't think i could write about broken hearts, right? wrong again. i think i am so poetic and i write about broken hearts all the time. just so you know.
the first time i wrote a bunch of poems was when i felt really emotional, like really happy or really sad, and i'd write and it'd have this amazing feel to it. and there was one person i always sent it to and i'd always title them "poem of _____" and then the time. that's why it's called "poem of 9:52pm" instead of "the way my heart breaks". one, because i'm just so used to titling it that way and i think it adds my own touch, and two, i'm not sure if i would've named it "the way my heart breaks" if i hadn't had "poem of 9:52pm" pop into my head at the same time. i haven't titled a poem like that in a long time. or really written one since i lost all the ones i loved.
i had this poetry assignment last year and i was so in love with it that i went onto this site that listed a bunch of different types of poems and how to write them (i loved that site, it was organized and neat and the layout was beautiful) and i just wrote them all and saved them in a folder. then i accidentally deleted them all when i was moving data to our new computer because i'm stupid like that. no, i just put them in the recycling bin for some reason because i thought they would stay there like they're supposed to, but apparently since it was on my flash drive it didn't. i've probably told you all that before.
it still makes me sad.

like really deep poems.
like me.

poem of 9:52pm

the way you break my heart

the way you scream at me
and tell me i’m
worth nothing
breaks my heart
into a million
pieces
because i can
never stop
loving
you

I Have a Pocket Garden

ms. goodrich made us make them. i'm growing beans :o. everyone else is like - wait let me just give you the conversation:

them: what are you growing?

me: beans! *makes happy face*

them: HAH i have CORN.

me: why is everyone saying that to me?? I LOVE BEANS.

them: CORN IS BETTER.

me: *sad face*

but yes. i don't know WHY they say corn is better, corn is so messy unless it's already off the cob which takes ages and makes your fingers all corn-y. so i will be proud of my green beans in peace!

mm yeah... i kind of have to keep them in my pocket every day so they'll grow. they feed off my body heat. haha smexy. hahahaha. well not really but they need to keep warm ;]

oh that reminds me! was helping out at my brother's math club party; mrs. d (no she's not related to mr. d ((see previous post if you no comprehendo)), it's draper) said - ooh more convo:

her: now all you have to do is keep them warm until we eat them (she's talking about pizzas, haha)

me: okay! i'll have scott sit on them!

--

me: scott, mrs. draper said you have to sit on the pizzas to keep them warm!

scott: what?!!?!

me: haha. kidding ;] *except i didn't really wink at him because that's a little um... ;] teehee*

oh and also:

me: hey! sam wears those shirts every day!

scott: huh?! reed?

me: yeah! polo shirts!

haha yeah that was pretty smexxxy. next post on that's what she said!

Tech Ed

i almost cut my finger off with a saw today. a cross-cutter saw. and i'm not being dramatic, the cut is pretty deep, haha.
so i was in tech 5th period and we were sawing scraps of wood when either

a. i was talking to alex because he made a comment about something or
b. i was just watching myself cut and was so stupid that the saw slipped and i more than nicked my finger

i prefer a. haha but i think it was b, only i wasn't really watching. i think i looked down and my hand slipped. so then i have this bleeding cut that's really bleeding itself out and i don't tell mr. deininger because sweetie, what kind of person cuts themself with a saw?? like nobody! this is why they let us all use them at the same time in the first place! but no, i had to go and get myself a nasty cut.
so i was going to wash it only water makes cuts bleed more, so i wrapped it in a 1.5 inch strip of paper towel (ooh math). then the strip wasn't working so i pressed my thumb against my finger - oh by the way, it was my pointer finger. on my left hand. because i saw with my right hand. :) - and asked mr. d if i could go to the bathroom and he was all like "yeah yeah" because he was teaching someone else how to saw, so they wouldn't slip and cut themselves like i did. oh but he still had no idea my finger was twisting in pain.
then i go to the bathroom and spend like 10 minutes in there with pieces of toilet paper because we don't have paper towels in the bathroom, we have those machines where it has the picture of you pressing a button and getting bacon. haha. i know. when i get back, i have like a minute left of class.
in 6th period i asked ms. hollingshead if i can go to the nurse because i cut myself. and we joked around, "no you can't go to the nurse. you'll just have to stay with your cut." teehee. ;]
the nurse was on her lunch break. at 6th period. well actually it was 1:30ish, but whatever. so i asked the lady at the main desk who told me to wash it, she didn't ask how i cut myself or how deep. and i washed it and it stung like crazy because i'm a big girl and --

big girls don't cry. :)

Yesterday's Cookies

haha no, i didn't actually buy the cookie dough myself. but i thought the status was something i'd write... ;). but yes, otis spunkmeyer did come in a truck with pictures of children hugging cookies and delivered boxes and boxes of cookies that not only made the cafeteria smell like cookies, it left the tables all greasy. dude, the cookies soaked through :o. heck yeah baby, love for run on sentences.

oh and before i start... shout out to alex for best facebook chat today. :)

haha i suck! i posted like... once in january, 4 times in february? oh wait haha i checked it was 9... 6 times in march and so far 10 in april and there's only 2 days left ooh ooh ooh. haha umm... random thought, i love vlogging. yeah but i don't vlog. but i'm that type of person who likes to be in a video just talking to a bunch of random people on youtube. but if i DID vlog, couldn't you imagine me doing that? and like, pointing down to tell people to leave me a comment on what they think. here take a second (for me) and if you know me in real life and know me well, CAN'T YOU IMAGINE ME VLOGGING? :]]
but yeah haha i kind of suck. i need a regular posting basis. teehee weird words.

hey -- did you know i love screen shots?

vlog moment. wait, scratch that.

jennifer moment.

Samuel Morse's Birthday

the search bar had to be kept in the screen shot after i cropped it because that's like... the only way you can tell that's google ;).

oh! and flair of the day to your right. a flair is sort of like those little buttons that people pin on overall straps or jackets with smart alecky sayings on them. or just something sweet. wait, haven't i explained this before? i think so. well anyway, now that your memory is refreshed...
i think i'm going to start posting screen shots of flairs more :)

This is Me at 12:57am

this is me up at 12:57am in front of the computer with my english project next to me, the printer on that won't print, and my math notebook propped up between the radio and the laptop screen. i'm up this late because... well, i had to get my english project done (it's art. again) and i was also helping randy with math. we did like... 3 problems? 4? and it took about an hour. teehee.
i'm so braindead. i can't think
but! we're taking a whack at a 3 system of equation algebraiac problem thing. which we'll die doing.
we're going to be sleeping in class tomorrow.

Facebook Wall Posts

you should see me when i listen to music i love. i totally rock out and start dancing.

i also love polaroids. on deep pictures like the one shown.

there should be a thumbnail of my profile picture next to the "jennifer lee" right above the photo, but i copied a section of white from the screen shot and pasted it there.

smart. ;)

My CBA All Nighter

not really. hopefully i won't be up for the whole night... i was counting on my getting this done by 1, but it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. i'm on paragraph 5 out of 8 and i'm stumped. there seem to be no personal stories from chinese immigrants in the pacific northwest.

i had no idea we were supposed to have this typed up by tomorrow until today - "cba" stands for classroom based assessment, so i thought we were going to have a ton of class time to finish this. wasl week number two - finished last part of the writing wasl today; finally done with it all - so the schedule was weird. and boniface didn't schedule enough time in the library/computer lab... we only had one day which was yesterday, and then it's due tomorrow. we didn't even go today.

so i'm going to be stuck here forever, typing and typing and typing.

i'm replaying "butterfly fly away" by miley cyrus (hannah montana: the movie original soundtrack) because it's soft, not too slow, and doesn't make my head spin. if i listen to "shake it" or "hero/heroine" or even "love story", my brain will explode. i'm just not up to it now. but hit the link - you'll see why i keep replaying this song. it makes me want to cry.

tabs i have open right now: historylink, noodlebib, chinese immigration, chinese americans, njhlibrary, white river valley museum, facebook, hotmail, thesaurus.com, chinese immigrants, dictionary.com, and blogger.

well, back to essay writing... butterfly fly away helps me think. when it plays, i write.

thank you for being my distraction for a few minutes.

xoxo, jennifer

Taylor Swift: Fearless Tour 2009

april 23. that's today! she should be in evansville, indiana at 7pm. next? saturday in st. louis, missouri. april 30? north charleston, south carolina. and may 17? SEATTLE, WASHINGTON at KEY ARENA. tickets sold out in four minutes when they first went on sale - that was a while back. and guess what? i might go!
tour runs until october 10, 2009 (subject to change) in minneapolis, minnesota. in the past taylor's opened for tons of singers/bands -- now she's on tour and she blogged on myspace that she's very excited. who's opening? gloriana (love them) and kellie pickler (love her!).
she's hitting at least 52 cities... and she's going to canada, too. she's amazing! :)

hit link: gloriana -- love them!
wild at heart

Metabolism

i seem to hear the word a lot lately. like everywhere i go, even if the people who say it don't know the next person who says it, i still hear it. today when someone said it to me during lunch, i was like... when i get home i'm going to blog on this.
so here i am, blogging about metabolism. it's really not that big; i'm sure you know what it is and that you have a higher rate than your parents - this is why old people get fat easier; they have to excercise more than we do to keep their weight the same, but they're older and get tired easier so they don't. thus, they get fat. that's your one sentence summary.
yep... it's usually whenever i'm about to eat, and the term "unhealthy" comes up. which launches the parent - i don't think i've met a kid who's said it, mostly because they probably don't care - into a whole "did you know our metabolism is slower than yours", etc etc etc, "so we shouldn't eat unhealthy food." today it was over a subway at blaine.
blaine? i was coaching my brother's math team. 5th/6th. some of my friends who are on the math team were there, too. basically i just sat on the table for the whole first half of the testing (individual/mental math) and then for the whole second half i sat on the floor. i was so sore and my legs were asleep. this is because i was too scared and tired to get up and go get food in the "hospitality room".
what person in their sane mind is up at 6am on a saturday? apparently, me. guess i'm crazy, huh?
but it was nice. for getting up at 6am, sitting in a car for 2 hours, sitting on a floor for another 2, sitting on cement for 45 minutes during lunch and listening to someone talk about metabolism, sitting on the bleachers for another 45 during the one armed juggler for entertainment, and then finally getting home after another 2 in the car, i mean. and you know, after i got home, all i did was sit around the house.

it was a great saturday.

My Dad's New Rule

it kind of sounds like one of those romantic comedies doesn't it? only then it would be "my father's new rule". and it would be about a girl who falls in love and her dad makes a rule that she can't date until she's out of college, et cetera, et cetera. and of course the girl hates this and she sneaks out with the guy anyway, and the dad finds out and gets mad. and of course the guy is a nice guy, so he tries to make the dad like him with the help of the girl so that they can stay together. and in the end, the dad decides he likes his daughter's boyfriend. right?
but that's not the point. my dad made a rule last night that i'm not supposed to
1. facebook
or
2. instant message (windows live messenger, la di da di da)
until i'm done with my homework. okay so it sounds easy, but it's really not. you know how i'm nearly always online after school? yes, i'm actually working on pages and pages on homework. this is called multitasking and i love it and i'm great at it too - with the nice help that messenger dings, facebook clicks and notifies in the tab, and whatever else i'm doing probably has some noise that lets me know there's an update.
but even without that, i'd still multitask smoothly.
so... i'm doing my math. yay, algebra. so rather me IMing. so so so so so much. but as you know... and yes! i know i'm on blogger. blah blah blah. i know, i'm such a bad girl. such not a daddy's little girl. halo disappeared.
but, you know...
he never said blog.

When It Rains

just say it again and mean it, we don't miss a thing... and convinced yourself that it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore... and oh, oh, how could you do it? oh i, i never saw it coming, oh, oh i need the ending. so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?... and when it rains, will you find any escape?... take these chances to turn it around (take your time). just take these chances, we'll make it somehow. and take these chances to turn it around (take my). just turn it around... so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

hurts for you.

Jeans

put on my jeans today. it felt really weird, like i had them on backwards. took them off, examined them in the mirror. hmm, looked the same. same blue, same frayed edges on the bottom.

same jeans.

i think they're meant to be drawn on.

you make me doodle hearts on my paper.

i mean, jeans.

April Fools!

swapped classes with other 3rd period honors social studies.

"hey mr. boniface! play cool third period, playing a trick on martin."
"hey mr. martin! play cool third period, playing a trick on boniface."

ahha, 7th grade minds of geniuses.

class: "shh! the bell rang! he's coming in!"
martin: "ahh, you guys think you are soo funny don't you?"
class: "hahahaha."
martin calls boniface.
martin: "hey, yeah, i seem to be missing a few students. oh, you too? let's ditch and go to pizza hut."
later:
martin: "down to the library guys! mr. boniface wants to teach you guys some life lessons."
class: "uh oh. here it comes."

in the end? turns out the trick's been played on us.
boniface shows 10 minutes after we've all been hiding in the library.

nice.

April Fools...

... tomorrow.

staying up late, doing math. la, la, la. just blogging to procrastinate. and to say goodbye to march.

goodbye, march.

and to say good night to you guys.

good night, guys.

and to warn you of things you probably know of.

... be careful of scary computer viruses...

x. jennifer.

You Know, I Like Going to Sleep Late

don't you?

haha, i don't actually have a point for writing this. i just needed something to do.
i can't wait for high school. inglemoor, baby. we'll be beautiful - saying if you don't think you are now, by high school you'll be gorgeous. by college, you'll be perfect. after, you're just old.
encouraging, right?

oh, i don't know. just wanted to say "hey".

MISS YOU DARLINGS.

lovelovelove, jen

Rained Magic

rainbows dive
stars collide
ashes fly
oceans merge
and you jump
and you splash
and the puddles disappear

Robins

couple days ago i was out and saw a robin on the grass. when i turned the corner, i saw dozens of robins skipping on the lawn. just thought i'd let you know.
it means spring.
which was two days ago.
i saw the robins on wednesday.

doesn't mean anything.

Keeping Something

i need to blog more. i think about it all the time when i haven't but i never actually make a move to. typical teenage laziness? maybe so.
you know, i think i'm in the mood to write something.

i didn't think hopelessness went as far as you
giving it up and keeping something
being last and finishing first
it
ends
here

no, i don't know. ask, if you want. it just kind of came, like when you're writing some lame essay and all of a sudden you write like, two words which gets you going through the whole thing. sort of.
lately? nothing, really. always feel tired when i walk into school ;). hmm. i always have a song stuck in my head for the whole day. it's not that it's really unpleasant, it's actually kind of nice. if i like the song. which, thankfully, i only listen to music i like, 4 out of 5 times. but yes. i sound kind of detached, like i'm not really here.
hmm. who knows?
maybe i'm gone.

Shoes

went to payless after church today. looked at tons of shoes. the baby ones remind me of the time when i used to be able to fit my feet into them. back then, my feet would've been described as "teensy-weensy-baby-feet". aka, feet that fit into size 1-4 BABY shoes. they are really cute.
awwed over the baby size 1 tennis shoes. almost fell over myself smiling over the tiny fuzzy boots. kids size 2 feet made me reminisce. how old was i when i used to be able to fit into these? there's also a size 7 of the exact same shoe. adorable.
had everybody feel how soft these american eagle flats and these other boots were.
tried on two pairs of shoes over and over again. couldn't decide over white with pretty stars or chic and sophisticated brown with matching pink stitches (just trust me, they're cool).
looked in huge mirrors. kept deciding. tried on silver pointy shoes with 3-inch heels. almost fell over. admired them, made a face, took them off. tried on boots. asked dad if i could buy the size 1 baby shoes. adorable, i tell you, adorable.
modeled the shoes, again. airwalk. love airwalk. decided on chic and sophisticated. looked at little childrens' hannah montana, high school musical3, and icarly bags. showed brother fun cars (movie) slippers. soft. then looked at american eagle tote bags. sweet. looked at jewelry brother showed me.

bought baby size 1 shoes so that i can save them for my daughter when i'm 26. promised self i would keep them and bring them wherever i went. love the tiny green box. love the shoes. i've put them next to my bed so that i can look at them when i'm feeling sad. they make me smile. if you ever see me after college holding a pair of shoes and a baby girl, you'll know why.

kidding. i didn't really. i wish i did. maybe it's something i will do... on my spare time. goes on my list of things to do before i die. buy a pair of baby shoes. but like my description of one half hour stop at a shoe store? the whole incomplete sentence thing going on. yes, admit it's awesome.

it's amazing what a trip to payless will do to you.

Dear, You... Love, Me

dear you,
guess what? 16 year olds' hearts melt. so i bet you're excited for november. you turn 16 and you'll be just waiting for your heart to start dissolving. jenny thought.
i promise i won't change. or at least, i'll try not to. as long as you don't say you look dumb, because you don't. like i said, i wouldn't lie to you. except when i said i hated you, because i don't. haha, i knew him forever, no i wouldn't like him. you'll be 20 in five years. we'll see what happens. of course, i'll be like... 18 then. who knows what i'll do.
i promise i'll jump into your arms though, like i will name my first daughter jessica.
hahahahaga, of course you want me to like you. what would you do without me? random letters are so beautiful. it's love at it's simplest. it's just sometimes, i'm up late and i have no one to talk to and i imagine something, anything, maybe even someone and i write. and it's cool, it really is. it's the sweetest thing to me. it's sort of like talking to myself, but it's not. because i'm talking to you.
i like your random numbers. they make me smile. when i'm talking to you and i try not to laugh, i make goofy faces. i will not have 3,737,477,374,662,683 boyfriends. i promise you, i will not. funny you stayed up an extra hour and didn't get in trouble. it's magic.
you know, one of the things i will have to do when i see you is make you dance in the rain with me. we'll put 1, 2, 3, 4 on loop and we'll dance to it for an hour and we won't want to stop. haha, by then it is believable you'll have 45,668,799,393,885,959 girlfriends.
i want to be a doctor. just letting you know.
i like to think that this is the kind of guy i'll fall in love with. i want to be happy when i'm 26 and doing everything i don't need to think about now. being with a kind of guy like you will be amazing.
i'm glad, too. good night.
love, me

Autobiography

if i wrote an autobiography, it would be something like what you're about to read. right now it's i'm not exactly satisfied with it 100%, but i want people who read it to be able to know it's me.

i really like quotes on love or friendship because they're the purest, sweetest ones. there's nothing you can say to deviate the brilliance on the two. and they go hand in hand. that's like, the coolest thing.

i love music. i'd rather go without my laptop and internet and facebook and friends than go without music, because in my music is everything that means a lot to me, and somehow i'll refind everything that was and will always be in my world.

pictures with friends are the one thing i'll never be ashamed to have tacked up all over my bedroom walls when i'm fifty.

i'll be the old lady in the nursing home at age eighty, looking over and rereading old instant messaging conversations, crying and laughing at them.

if i love you this much now, i will never, ever think you're uncool.

i can't wait until i'm fifteen.

i listen to taylor when i'm happy, sad, upset, mad, silly... because i can relate. and whatever mood i'm in, she'll fix it. even if i'm happy. it just gets better.

but in the end, it all bubbles down to one thing: you are so awesome to me. truth be told, you kind of make me, me.

love you.

Facebook

took 2 years to get popular, versus myspace... which took... 6, surprisingly enough. logically, i didn't see how that could work out until i actually started using it, and just this week i thought about it again and decided to share with you - seeing as i also need to blog again, anyway.
yes, i put screen shots of my status updates in my friday the 13th and valentine's day posts. actually facebook was designed for people to find their old high school friends, but seeing as i'm not in high school or have been - it's definitely not just contained for those over the hill people. you actually need to be 13 to sign up, not that half of my friends are or have followed that rule. they just put in a random year that says they're 16 or what not, and hit sign up, and wha la - they have a facebook.
sometimes the chat drives me crazy, but they have an emailish type of communication too. i think what made it so popular is all the activities you can do and games and flair (i'll screen shot one some time) - which are one of my favorites.
but anyway... facebook gets its own entry because... it's my life for break. i have absolutely no homework and sadly i think homework is a way too big part of my life, seeing as i get home, get upstairs, and start on this one. then the next one, and again and again. sometimes i'm up until 1am finishing homework. and now that i don't have any i'm pretty much at lost for what to do.
main point? if you ever need me, you can check facebook. i'm on that almost 24/7 (hahaha, yeah. sure.) - or my email, that works too. or IM. or anything social for that matter.
i like to multitask.
... but hey, it's a great day out... maybe i'll go bike riding. see ya, facebook.

Even Google Celebrates Valentine's Day

like every other holiday, or important person's birthday, or cool event's anniversary. they decorate their homepage. unfortunately, it's only for the web search, but that's okay.

this is way cool! it's my favorite one they've done so far :). it's a little crazy but...

google is awesome. rock on.

.

and please wish me luck today! the music is getting to me... x.x

ah hah.

Happy Valentine's Day

good valentine's day songs? tim mcgraw (taylor swift), love story (taylor swift), valentine's day (linkin park)... and that's really all i can think of. and i don't know if they're really "good", they just fit.

happy valentine's day, just the same.

my day is really packed. i wish i could spend the day hanging out with friends but nope, i have to do a recital at 1:30, then have to be at church at 2:20... piano, piano, piano. i have so much music crammed in my head i can't think straight. sucks, much.
but anyway... i hope everybody knows how valentine's day started, because i don't want to spend like a paragraph going over the guy. haha, there's your free hint. the point of valentine's day? that i don't know. it's not the candy, though. definitely not the candy, although that seems to be a big part of it now. and the colors are nice, but i think the main thing is...

love. you have to have it and try your hardest, no matter what it's always going to be with you. if you give a little, you receive a little. if you give a lot, you receive a lot. it's the way of hugs. give them out, guys. they make people feel really good, even if they say they hate hugs. because they make us smile when we know someone cares about us, right?

it just makes our day.

happy valentine's day!

.

love, love, and love again...

jennifer

Today

it really is :). i can't think of any other day that has really been this awesome! incredible :). it's that type of day that completely fits into fearless by taylor swift. like, the happy feeling. if you talk to me right now i have happy vibes shooting off of me. i can bounce off walls. really. my rainbow is the coolest place to be right now, ever.
on the sort of off note, i have a piano recital tomorrow. argh, and i play two of the songs that i have a great percentage i will mess up on. :/... that's okay. i'll be out most of the day, too. saturday meeting with the JY. cools. i'll be on in the morning to try and post a valentine's entry :).

happy valentine's day. love you!

My Life Would Suck Without You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bap-oZI-Grc&feature=channel_page
it is the cutest video of 2009. and yes, i know, 2009 has barely started, but this video hits all the right notes. it is the sweetest, most adorable video i've seen in my lifetime. and no, that's not just jennifer using sweet talk.
actually, i don't really understand it. it just sends sweet love everywhere. like the goldfish part (click the link above and watch so you understand what i'm talking about, duh :P)... that was really, really cute. it has a surprise ending, kind of. i liked that.
kels has amazing talent. love that girl. she's like, vibrant. she brings happiness in her songs. well, not like taylor and some of her songs are about heartbreak (a lot, actually) but my life would suck without you is... perfect. it's addicting. it gets stuck in your head.
you have to sing along. you can't not sing along. it's so crazy and fun and happy. it's an awesome love song. it tells your best friend that "dang, i'm in love with you and i know i've said it'll never work but... it is."
it really says, "i am so, so, so in love with you."
go listen. be happy. and freakin' sing along!

White Horse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bal4t4pPy70

it's amazing. it is the cutest, most sweet thing i've seen from her. trey fanjoy (director) did a great job. the video premiered 8:30 est/pst on cmt. it stars stephen colletti (one tree hill) as the love interest. in an interview before the video was shown worldwide, taylor said that she saw stephen on one tree hill and thought "he was really awesome like that." she said that he had the look they were going for. "this guy in the video is supposed to look really sweet, and someone who looks like he'd never lie to you - but he does."
although it was really good, it was also a little plain. it could've been much, much more interesting. trey fanjoy also directed taylor swift's other music videos (tim mcgraw, picture to burn, teardrops on my guitar, our song ((from her first album)), love story, and change ((from her second album)).) in the same interview, taylor also said: "this video’s a lot different than the other videos we’ve made because usually we’ve gone for bright colors and me looking straight into the camera and singing. but this one, it’s a little more introspective. there’s a pretty emotional scene in there where i had to cry for like three hours, like bawl my eyes out for three hours. it was really interesting and sort of a new thing for me."

all in all, i loved it. there really is nothing i would change. everyone did a beautiful job. taylor looked really pretty in this video and she was right - stephen colletti was perfect for the part. tay has great taste in guys, music, and video directors. :). she is gorgeous and has the prettiest curls. and the best thing? she has a beautiful voice.

love you, taylor!

Makes My Day

don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
- dr. seuss

it makes me really, really, happy. like, the smile-and-get-all-dreamy kind. like when i listen to taylor swift songs (such as right now, the way i loved you).
it's probably more appropriate for the funny, gray-haired author-of-all-those-children-books-that-i-have-stacks-of's (not in my room. but i am seriously considering it. it just seems like something i would do) birthday. but i'm not exactly sure when it is and i really like this quote right now so here it is. and the whole birthday comment makes me want to tell you that my friend's birthday is my half-birthday. i know, woah, cool much?!
yes, i haven't posted like, at all. and i really didn't post that much in january, either. what, like two entries? on the bright side i've actually gotten sleep for the past two weeks. except yesterday i broke my streak due to an assigned bacteria (e. coli) comic in science, due today. but it's all good.
i got my best friend (the one who gave me the santa hat <3) carnival ride from carrie underwood for her birthday, which was this sunday. she loved it. which made me happy, too. on facebook i wrote a 25 things note and tagged a bunch of friends. i also spent all evening last night finding and sending and adding flairs (you know, those round buttons with sayings or whatever on them that you can pin anywhere, only it's on the internet, and it's this round "button" with sayings on it that's like, 2D. hahah). lately i've been really, really pissed at this one girl who just gets on my very last nerve.
the superbowl! it was sad. like, really, sad. the cardinals did great. i commented on jesse (jamie's brother ((jamie is the one whose birthday is my half-birthday))) asking him why he calls the steelers pittsburgh, while i found myself calling the cardinals, arizona. :)
my friends and i have revived a pass-it-on journal that we started in 2006, now minus one person, since we never see her anymore. we are also planning a mass sleepover on the 14th. maybe.
my brother wants to goes to this one guy's house so bad that he used the "project excuse", which goes somewhat like this... "hey dad i'm going to do my science fair project at bacho's house, 'kay? what about the 14th?". btw, bacho is nathan's nickname. and then i say that the 14th we have that recital then i have the whole saturday meeting which has the activity this month of a "talent show" at a nursing home, basically meaning more piano playing. then i also add in the sleepover and that, he could go while i'm at the saturday meeting.
yeah that's pretty much what happened over the past month. well that's pretty much what happened in the first 3 days of this month. sorry i didn't blog... was meaning to. seriously. oh, and...
i had cookies and milk today.

love, jennifer

p.s. i just figured out that an entry this long is half a page on a word document. hehe.

2009

the one thing about everything after january 1, for a month or so... is that you seem to never get used to things! for example: having a "proper heading" on your paper is extremely important... first and last name (critical), teacher and period number (has to be there) and the date; ding ding ding.

Jennifer
Griego, P6
January 1, 2008

woah, i am way behind. that's a very common mistake. i find myself writing 2009 one day and remembering that yesterday i was pretty sure i wrote 2008, which means that my paper is dated like, a year ago. not where everything was oh-so-important.

Jennifer
Griego, P6
January 1, 2009

much better. except that in reality, i'm not at school ever on january 1. and i don't usually head papers in griego's, because that's health/fitness. (and by the way, i'll have you know, i <3 health/fitness. ((because i am actually writing this on january 14, and just started the post on january 1 (((that was before i read ben's comment, and thank you ben! that's really going to help :]))) )) so now, i love p.e. ((health/fitness is basically p.e., only p.e. is also an elective, which if you get p.e. as an elective (((hahaha, i feel sorry for you, more running))) you don't have homework, like that project i was talking about, when i lost my pencil)) :]?!)
see ya 2008! i'll miss you. tons of great memories made! just been really busy...
2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009, 2009...

p.s. and didn't anyone ever teach you to read the fine print?! my last name is not on there for security reasons. sorry mrs. griego. :]
