Hoppy Easter!

Hey every bunny! GET IT? 


I hope everyone had a good week. I know mine was busy/good. We finished Tuesdays With Morrie in English. And OF COURSE I cried. I kept telling myself not to cry but I felt tiny little tears rolling down my cheeks.

NOT COOL. 


I also had this urge during the week where I just wanted to be in love.

It was so weird. I have never felt like that before. It was just like in the Disney movies. All the sudden my heart beat went crazy and little cartoon birds came with ribbons in their beaks and did my hair while I sang a beautiful melody; and everyone around me sang the words they've never even rehearsed or heard!

Okay...so maybe not that dramatic...but it pretty much felt that way.

Yesterday I decided I wanted to do something.

I want to go to services of a lot of different churches or places of worship. Not to look for a religion, but to see what each is like; and to take wisdom from them.

I think it would be really interesting to see the cultures and beliefs of all these religions.

I am excited!





Oh! And yesterday I was at the mall, I saw a shirt that had Charlie Sheen on it and said "WINNING"

I wanted it so bad.

SO BAD!





THE END

All you need is love!

Happy Monday! Another Monday.

Today I went bowling. I really love/appreciate the intense bowlers I see at the lanes. They honestly amaze me. And I feel very incompetent bowling next to them. I throw my little bowling ball down the lane and into the gutters almost immediately and they like stare at the lane and do this crazy shuffle down the lane and look like complete pros.  The only thing I am good at is getting that random back very back corner pin, so if there was a world champion 7 pin bowler, I would be it. TOTES.  


So let's talk about a little life lesson. 1. Learn to love everything about yourself. It took me a while to be completely confident in my own skin. Trust me! 2. The things people say don't matter.

There is this kid at my work, and he isn't my favorite person on the planet...okay I mean, I really don't like him. I am trying so hard to be patient and to be understanding but I am not perfect. And since this is my little personal blog I will just say it. I am snappy at him sometimes when I think he is being immature or out-of-line.

The other day when I was working as a hostess with my friend Sarah he was up there too. At one point Sarah was holding a mint in her hand and I took it out of her hand.

Later this boy came up to Sarah and told her that,
"That would be a big girl thing to do."

Now some of you are reading this and you may be saying, "Holy crap, he's a jerk." or "Holy crap, he's right"
; P

The thing is, I laughed when I heard that. You know why? I know that I am a curvy girl! And I love that about me. I can decide tomorrow I want to lose 90 pounds or decide I want to gain 90 pounds.
And another things is, I ain't gunna cry over a box of Twinkies over it! To be honest, I could probably out run this dude, and I am pretty healthy.

Also, I feel horrible for him. I am so blessed to live the life I live. I have no clue what his life is like. It may be awful. (That's no excuse to make cheep jabs at someone) but you never know someones life.

He probably has not learned to love himself yet. And for that, I pity him.

Anyway. Make goals for yourself, even if it's small ones.

My daily things to make me happy is this:

1. If something awful happens at the beginning, just think, 'If that's the worst thing to happen today, it's gunna be an awesome day!"
2. Don't sweat the things that happened that you cannot control. It's done and focus to make goals for things you can accomplish.
3. Think about things you're grateful for.
4. High five a few people you don't know.
5. Laugh at your mistakes.
6. Remember that no one is perfect, forgive people that do silly things and forgive yourself. Move on.
7. Dance like nuts in your room. (Yeah, I do it.)
8. Love others, and love who you are. 


There are other things but this post is too long. And I really hope someone reads it.

Haha well!

Goodnight everyone. : )

Saturday morning cartoons

I have been harassed by Nickie. I didn't post a blog yesterday, so today at work she threw a marker at me. (I work at Serrano's byyy the way) : D (we'll get to that later)

Nickie told me that I had to post right when I get off work...it's a little after right after work. Nickie please don't throw a marker at me again.


SO WORK. How do I explain work to you? 

Today I was getting asked questions about astrology. I don't know anything about astrology... so of course everyone was teasing me. Haha it was aaaawful. 

But everyone is really chill. I'll make a separate blog for work later.

It was the National Day of Silence yesterday at school.

"On the National Day of Silence hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in their schools." 

Whatever your beliefs are on LGBT, there is no reason to bully anyone because of who they are. I couldn't believe how many times I heard students at my school call people "fags" or call people "gay" who supported this movement for human rights. It's about treating your acquaintances as equals and treating them like you would your friends. I am proud though of how many people I saw supporting it. That definitely outnumbered the ignorant kids that day. 

"Im on the right track baaaby!"  

But let's get to some funny stories, cause I mean, that's what you wanna know!! 

1. I was nominated for class clown haha, isn't that neeeat? It made me so happy.  

2. Have you ever owned a pair of flats? You know the shoes? Okay, well I have these flats that I love! But if you know flats, they make your feet smell like WW1 gas bombs. Literally like they are the worst smell in the world. Probably. 

So Thursday... 

After school I went to Kevin's house for a little. He was playing Pokemon and I was just laying on his bed when all the sudden he was like...

"Ugh! It smells SO bad in here!" and then I was like...GASP! Jen! It's your feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICKNASTY. 

So then! I was like, "Oh my gosh! Ew! What in the world is that?!" And he said, "I don't know..." and was looking around his room, like a inspector crime man. And I was pulling my feet closer into my body. He grabbed his blanket and smelled it. "Oh, it's my blanket! My man smell." I do a nervous laugh, "Yeah, I am going to the bathroom." and I run out of his room and sit on the edge of the tub and scrub my feet as hard as I could. 

Knock knock "Uhhhh, are you taking a shower or something?" 

"Pssssssssssht! No. That's weird." 

"Okay? What are you doing then?" 

"Nothing!" 

"Alright........" 

Luckily I got away with it. 

Last night, I was driving around and I went to Wal-Mart. Just walking around looking at things. Have you ever done that? Randomly just walking around, not knowing what the heck you're looking for? Okay maybe that's just me. I do that mostly everyday. Haha but anyway. Then Amber came over and it was fun! We giggled and talked like girls do!

Well, that's really it for now : ) I am planning on having a lazy Saturday until I have to work! I get to close tonight! Can't hardly wait!!! 

Gooooodbye everyone!

Listerine

Hello friends : ) I hope everyone had a nice Wednesday.

So I have a rough draft to do and two quizzzes to study for...but I am eating some Swedish Fish (the candy not actual Swedish fish...weird) and blogging and staring at the wall. WINNING.

Speaking of winning the Pokemon battle between School boy Denton and School boy Kevin was quite entertaining! I was giggling and gasping like a moooorrooon.

Today was good. Highly unproductive as usual.

During the summer after I graduate I was going to do a phlebotomy program (A.K.A drawing blood) and then work while I went to school doing phlebotomy. So I scheduled an appointment today to talk with an admissions counselor.

Of course they couldn't put me in the program until 2012 (sign me up for a coffin why don't you) COME ON! I HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE!

So, instead I decided to go for a medical assistant program. It's longer and definitely more strenuous but I think it will be worth it in the long haul. (haul is a weird looking word)...

Other than that, I went to Erin's house tonight to plan for our inbetween act for the Rock N' Roll review. I made up this game call the Listerine Challenge (I am sure other people have thought of it too.) but you get a mouth full of Listerine (with a group of people) and try to make each other laugh causing the Listerine to burst out and at the same time your mouth is burning and going numb.

AWESOME.

So anyway I brought my Listerine with me and at Erin's house were two other dudes that don't know me suuuuper well, but they know me well enough to know that I am...special.

But it was halarious because now they probably think I am uber crazy.

But I had a great time and that is all that matters.

That's what my mom says anyway.

Well, I am going to go wash the shirt I am wearing because I am gunna wear it to school tomorrow.

Soooo classy! 


Also I have to drive my mom and sister to the airport at 4:30 in the morning.

Soooo excited! (we we we so excited)

Anyway, thanks for readin' : )

Nighty night bed bugs! ( <=== that was dumb)

BYE!

Dinner and a show

Last night after winter guard's parent show, Torre, Amber (who did AMAZING on her dance solo) and Kevin (who did awesome as well) went to Sonic.

While we were sitting on those outside benches I looked at all the little hard working Sonic employees rushing around on the inside. And, then...I noticed my friend AJ working. We would make crazy faces at each other through the windows until I decided to do a dance number...  

What I KINDA forgot that not everyone at Sonic eats at the benches or drives through........ no, they like to sit in their cars and eat.  

HELLO JEN?! But, being the non-embarrased, confident woman I am, I just blushed a little and moved on. 

: P 

Woooooops. 

Today was a pretty okay day. Things are a little tough right now my friends, but everything will work its way out. I know that. 

In English we're reading Tuesdays With Morrie. To be completely honest, I thought I was going to hate it and be really annoyed through it all, but it gives us soooo many important life lessons. It's a wonderful book and I am excited to finish it. 

: ) 

That's all for today really.  

"The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family." -Morrie

I am so not afraid of anything!

Okay, so maybe just a little.   

I was at Kevin's house last night. It was twelve AM (so really I guess this morning) and we were watching Ghost Adventurers. You know, that show with Zak and his two friends. They get locked in over night at ghostly haunted places, etc. It's just all cheesy and lame...


BUT, I stayed for one more episode...and boy...I shouldn't have. 


They stayed at this school/institution for mentally disabled children and mentally ill kids. I guess they didn't know the difference...but anyway! It was horrifying to me. 


I sat there pretending I was watching the whole thing when really I was looking at the corner of the screen. 


Once it was done Kevin stretched, and yawned, "Okay, well...goodnight!" I got up and grabbed my purse dreading the drive home this late at night. 

"Uh...Kevin?" I said sheepishly, "Can we talk on the phone until I get home?" 

So we talked while I drived. 


"Oh my gosh...I just never saw one that scary!!" 
"Uh-huh"
"I mean the way those poor kids were treated!!!"
"Mmm, sad." 
"Are you falling asleep?" 
"Mmhmm"


Then I got home and turned on all my lights. And slept with my light on. Cuddled with my whale stuffed animal, 18 years old...pa-the-ic! 


And today school was so boring. 


We worked on our Rock n' Roll review. Michael Jackson. (Mountain View High School auditorium May 17th, be there!) But I have been working on costumes and stuff so I haven't been there for a lot of the choreography. Good thing I am in the back...I am making stuff up. Good times. 

Well that's really it. 

I need to go bowl.

Love others, love yourself, love your family, love your life. You are blessed! 


Jennnnnnnn



Act One, Scene One

Well, here I am, and there you are. You're sitting there ready to be entertained. I am sitting here...nervous, deleting things, and trying to entertain you. But enough of this nonsense!

I am Jen. But I figure most of you know that so let's move on.

I am just about to finish high school, so all those stories about dances and crap have flown by. The teachers, the weird nose-picking kid, football , unnecessary drama, pranks, old friends and new friends. I can' tell you how excited I am to be done with high school. Some of you are rolling your eyes and saying, "Oooooh, you'll miss it once you're older...". No. I won't. Hail to thee ol' Mountain View, but I am outta there!! Hopefully...I just need to finish my online bowling. Yeah. You read me correctly, I said online bowing. Don't worry. I will finish it though. The thought of going back to high school and having to add another year of math and science is enough to make me be Charlie Sheen's psychologist.

Late Friday, early Saturday morning I hung out with my dear friend Sarah Bigler.

(Man chocolate is good!!) 

It was soooo funny because lately I have been surrounded by my guy friends. For like a good solid two months. Kevin and Denton would play Pokemon off end while we all joked around and didn't do much. 

But with Sarah, she brought up boys. I mean, it was the whole slumber party looking at yearbooks at the football player giggling crap I can't stand!! And I was having a good time!! It wasn't too girlie though. And I mean we didn't talk about guys all night so it was nice. 

I like Sarah! She's hilarious. 


And she has a Sharpei named Buddah. And I love her sharpei. I am going to kidnap him. 


(muahahhahaahhaahahhahahahaha)  

 But when I left her house and walked to my car, my back window...completely SMASHED into. 



I mean, there was like no glass left. And, *tears up* they...stole...my...17 Again!!!! Seriously? I mean, you didn't even try to get anything else? 


You know what? I bet it was some crazy girl walking by that doesn't own that movie. She really wanted it. 
They probably saw my yoga mat, empty M&M's wrapper, and 10 Things I Hate About You, and decided to be nice to me. 


Girrrrls.
