It was a monday

 dfhjkdshf
So today started off so good!
I went with jessica to a tour of carolina and it was so great and IT IS TOTALLY MY DREAM SCHOOL.

and i was having such a fabby time, when mom is like "HERE TALK TO THIS GUY WHO KNOWS ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT ADMISSIONS"


so i was like, SURE, why not!?  I am already so happy and he can only make me happier.


FALSE.

( Read more... )


sorry.

it was just so frustrating.

in short. i discovered that in order to attend the school i want to attend so badly, i have to take classes i hate, and make myself miserable for another year, just so that i can look like I care more than the person next to me.

HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS!?

 So my birthday present arrived!!!!

Its a magnificent Tokina 12-24mm wide angle lens.

It's beautiful.  I cannot wait to use it. :)

My parents made my like clean the entire house before they would give it to me :P

 So dad ordered an Iphone yesterday.
I am muy celoso, because i totes wanted one.  

But on the reals, the plan is like $90 a month

I'm waiting for verizon to start selling them so that stupid AT&T won't have an effing monopoly on it.  Honestly thats the only reason they're still in business.

And for something completely different- Quin came home yesterday! Yay!  Just what i needed to get me out of my slump.

Well, i'm off to read literature about girls in frocks. <3 toodle pip

 I want to go and take pictures.
Like really awesome ones with girls in vintage clothes, throwing themselves across a set of train tracks.


srsly.

 More funtiems at the beach.

Todays plan

-pool
-lunch
-chill
-ice cream
-MOAR POOL
-stuff :)


tomorrow we're going to fresco- it has this really nice beach. I'm so excited!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer

<3

 Hola mis amigos pequenos

NOSOTROS ESTAMOS A LA PLAYA

And I is toasted already.



But anyway
story time.

Today audrey and I woke up, and we were like LETS GO TO THE BEACH.
So we went to the beach
and it was so cool cuz we were wearing MATCHING BATHING SUITES
So we got down to the beach, and I am getting all settled, when ALL OF A SUDDEN. My bathing suit breaks. 

then audrey repaired it with a bobby pin.
and then, just as I am sitting down again.....IT FLIES OFF ONCE MORE.
So i think i flashed like everyone and their grandmother.

So later this evening, i did extreme surgery on it, and now it is wearable, and i can return to looking like a watermelon.
SUCCESS.

now we are watching "the big lebowski", and shelby is preparing another twilol comic for everyone's viewing pleasure.

have a happy summer!

-Jenny
-ps: i have been reading Jane Eyre, and it is actually a semi-decent novel

 So i am off to the beach for a week.

I'm sort of packed-ish.
The rest of the fam already has their stuff in the car, but since i had to work/babysit today, i didn't get the chance.

so now i must wake up EXTRA early, to ensure that i collect all the necessary belongings

i wish it was simple enough that i could just bring bathing suits...
i'm sure that some people do that.

its gonna be strange not seeing quin for a week, when i practically saw him every day this week.

oh well. yay for phones.


PEACE  OUT CUB SCOUTS.

 So tomorrow is graduation, and it means a few things for me.

1) It signifies my own personal graduation to seniority, and therefore, being awesome.  I honestly think that being a senior is one of the greatest titles one can possess in high school.  It's like the "get out of jail free" card.  When I feel like my life sucks, I can stop what I'm doing, take a deep breath, and say to myself "I am a senior", and that makes everything better.
When school seems to stressful, I get to say "I am a senior", and i will be fine.
And when I look at all the people around me, I get to say "I am a senior", and know that I'm older than nearly all of them
This is one of the few things in my life that I've looked forward to for a long time.

2) its the first year that people are graduating who i truly care about enough to make me sad.
The people that are graduating are only a year older than me, and therefore close enough in age to myself, that I can actually befriend them.  Jessica, one of my best friends is graduating.  
My boyfriend is graduating.
My childhood friends are graduating.
And the friends I've made in highschool are graduating.
Its a bit upsetting, but luckily for me, they're mostly going to school in the area, so I'll get to see them.

I don't know.  I'll relay my feelings to you after the fact, tomorrow.

Saw UP again today. Someone said something on rotten tomatoes that really struck me.

They said "Pixar has gone from making animated movies that happen to be good, to good movies that happen to be animated"

Its so true. Dad says that UP was his favorite Pixar creation. I think it ranks up with Nemo and Monsters Inc. for me, as Wall-E will always be numero uno.

Anyway. It was nice to see it twice. You have time to notice the little things. And also time to go pee....which is always good.
OMG PARTLY CLOUDY IS SO CUTE

SO FOR A CHANGE OF SUBJECT.
Last night I went to Shelby's at like 10. We watched stupid internet videos and ate junk food. Yay friends. Jessica and I spent like an hour listing off our favorite male actors over age 25. LEE PACE YOU WILL ALWAYS HOLD MY HEART.
Anyway. here's a picture list of all our faves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

( I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT BE SEXY )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT. It's so weird. I keep thinking that I have all this homework to do....but I don't. I just can't get rid of the feeling that I'm procrastinating something.


okay. so if that wasn't random enough
G'NIGHT KTHXBAI

the word part "vir", meaning "man", is in the word virtual. "vir" as in "virile", as in VIRILE SPERM.

dont ask where that came from because i don't know........thatswhatshesaidwhaaaatt?

oh goodness it's going to be one of those days.


I took the SAT this morning and OHMYGOD it is the most awful thing in the world. Honestly, its more of an endurance test than something that tests your intelligence.
It's like the college board people sat down and went "HOKAY LETS SEE WHO CAN SIT ON THEIR ASS FOR 5 HOURS AND NOT GET DISTRACTED. THEY WILL BE THE ONES WHO GET INTO COLLEGE!"

it was ridiculous. and that was my SECOND TIME. ugh.

Anyway. I'm tired, and i want to go to the beach.


oh right. i just remembered why i wanted to post something
to tell everyone that hearing schellibie talk about the sims 3 so much, makes me REARY WANT TO PLAY IT.
but $50 is a lot of money y'all

 Today I went with mom to work and spent 50 minutes SHREDDING PAPER.
Do you know how thrilling shredding paper is?  No? Okay, let me enlighten you.  
IT IS NOT THRILLING AT ALL.  IT'S LIKE NEGATIVELY THRILLING.

I also filed things.  Which was mildly entertaining, seeing as everyone who works at carolina has a funky last name.  BUT ONLY MILDLY EXCITING.

thats what i did
I filed. And i shredded.

And then i met with talia and jessica over coffee to discuss youth group presidential things.  I feel like a member of a secret club.
Afterwards- i went with dad and brother to carburrito

and now i have to go to work.
JACOB DOES NOT APPROVE OF ICE CREAM WHEN ITS RAINING

 So junior year is officially over....

I know it, but it doesn't feel like it.  And whenever it hits me, i get really sad.

Next year is going to be hard, not being in band, but I really think i made the right decision to quit.  I need to do things that I WANT to do, not just things i feel obliged to do.

I'm so ready for summer though.  I need a break.  This year, if anyone asked my how i was, the answer was "tired."  I'm programmed to tell people I'm tired.   How to describe junior year?  Permanent exhaustion.

I am done.  I am so done it's not even funny.

This is poem about today


I am on my couch.
Alone
For Quin is gone
He hath taken Alanna's yearbook
there was a switch.
a switch.
like a light.
he must return.
but then he shalt come back-
to me.
today i went to creative writing
for the last time.
sad.
i won some awards
because i'm so creative
creative
like a creative thing
then there was music
in band
because that's where you play music
we left early
Wall-E > Band

 I really really want to be invited to ffffound.com

i think its silly that each person only gets "one invitation"

Wow. So a week from today, I'll be done with school

It's pretty incredible.

Todays plan:
-Unload dishwasher
-Work 4:30-8:30. It's gonna be busy
-GOING TO SEE UP WITH A BILLION PEOPLE
-spending the night with schellibie

ps: get the song i'm listening to. its fun.

 So i wasn't using this here thing when i watched the lost finale.

The sole purpose of this post is mostly to display my AWESOME JACOB ICON OF AWSOMENESS.
He is such a baller you guys.
All the hatah's can STAND BACK.

EDIT: i now plan on saying JACOB DOES NOT APPROVE after everything that he clearly would make that face for.

In other worldly news- Jessica came over so we could work on our book talk for Snow Falling on Cedars (which is actually a lovely book, and you should read it).

We made sure to mention how much effing sex there is, but covered it up by saying something along the lines of "the character relationships are largely dependent on sexuality".....or some BS like that.
If we're being honest....ALL OF THE CHARACTERS DEFINE THEIR WORTH BY HOW GOOD THEIR SEX IS

okay but it was a nice book

LOL SO TONIGHT I CUT A DIRTY DEAL WITH MY MUM

me: so mom can i get my cartilage pier-
mom: no.
me: Okay I'll make you a deal
mom: no
me: just listen
mom:
me: I'll let my gages grow in if you take me to get my double cartilage piercing *coughandpayforitcough*
mom: okay


that was the basic gist of it, just with a little less "deh-tail"
Basically i have nice big wobbly holes right now that are not framed by nice pretty earrings.
I was getting tired of them anyway.


Quin is supposed to call, but i'm a loser and will probably fall asleep before he does.
They eat dinner at like 9:30....

 Tengo mucho hambre y Jessica neccesita legar aqui inmediatamente.

We needs to work on this english bizzness.

 I'm back! Hoorah. Yes, i decided after much deliberation to start with this thing again.
I figured since its summer, I'll give it another go.

Also- i was watching Bridget Jones's Diary, and was like "hey maybe i should get a diary- no wait. why would i write when i can type?"
Plus- who wants to write during the summertime anyway?

Notable things- I HAVE READ "I AM THE MESSENGER" FINALLY AND IT IS BLOODY BRILLIANT.
I fucking love Markus Zusak and his words.  READ HIS BOOKS. HE IS A GENIUS OF THE FIRST WATER.


also also also- our creative writing anthology came out today.  Mom, dad, and aaron all sat around reading it like losers while I sat awkwardly in the corner.

I would much rather read Markus Zusak's words than those of the 18 classmates i love to death but dearly want to strangle.
por ejemplo- today i acted in Chris's play- where i was "Woman 1".  He was Beck, and he was trying to seduce us with poetic phrases like "Women are like fruit...you leave them on your table too long and they turn brown"
Oh he is a bright one.

ALSO ALSO TIMES TEN- (i keep remembering awesome things that happened to me today)
I gave my speech for Historian at NHS.
i think i did okay
maybe i'll win but i shall not speak too soon


EDIT- LOL I DIDNT GET IT. 
amy did though so thats good.  She's brilliant :)

and finally
i would like to point out that i have 7 FUCKING DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT.  which is actually 3, because next week doesnt count.

I LAVE SUMMMERRRR.

 its sad that nothing eventful enough to post about has happened to me lately.


i need to get my portfolio together.

 There is this summer camp.  In New York
And I basically would get to do photography stuff for two weeks.

I  look at the website for it every 20 minutes.  It just looks so incredible.  
Plus- one of my friends went there last summer an can vouch for it.

Also- i don't plan on going anywhere else over the summer- so this would be like the only thing i would do


The only problem is that it cost 2K for 2 weeks...or 3k for 3 (the three week one can earn you college credit)

fhkdjshfdjks- i really really would love to go, but what with the economy the way it is- i could see how my parents wouldn't want to spend 2 thousand dollars for me to take some pictures.
