The Christmas that almost wasn’t…but then was!

Ok so the aftershock of Christmas is over and now I’m bored. All my friends are off in exotic locals or just don’t feel like doing anything. This vacation has made me realize what utter crap daytime TV is, there are random hours where nothing cool is on. And Missy’s day to day consists of sleeping and eating so she wont play with me. I’m going crazy! Did you hear about the monster tsunamis over in Sri Lanka!? Can you imagine that kind of destruction!? What if that happens here? I’ll be selling ocean front property in Arizona! I think we watched Day After Tomorrow on the way to band camp but I lost interest in it pretty quickly, Heather was only watching it cause of the “hot guy” in it. Anywho, I’ve just had a massive panic attack when I realized when I go back to school I’m gonna have a new class 6th hour and I lost the new schedule we got last semester! I’m not gonna know what classroom to go to! This sucks! I can’t decide if I want to go back to school or not. Are the pros really worth the cons? I need to ponder. I think we need to take our Christmas tree down, it’s getting pretty sad. Tomorrow is New Years Eve and I’m not going to be able to turn over a new leaf if I’m still stuck in the past with a Christmas tree from 2004. You know what I just realized? I don’t have anything to do this New Years, last year we all had the stress of the Fiesta Bowl and the Parade, but this year I have nothing to do. I can stay up as late as I want and sleep in as late as I want! So this is what freedom feels like. Damn it! The sun came out! I wish it would keep raining, I like the rain, I’m a rain creature. Some stupid bird wont stop making noise outside. Kevin taught me how to catch pigeons. We have too many pigeons in our palm trees. The fake plastic owl doesn’t scare them anymore. Ok now I’m rambling, I’d better wrap this up.

So the plot thickens...

The other day I get a text from Daryn telling me Heather and Danny broke up, so I call her to get the scoop. She told me that Robin called her to tell her Danny broke up with his girlfriend and asked her out and she wanted to know what Daryn thought. So Daryn calls Danny to ask him and he says Robin was lying (kinda like he lied about us?). So I ask Heather and she says they did kinda "break up" the other night but now they're back together. But he asked Robin out right? But he's still going out with Heather right? Please tell me I'm not the only totally confused one here.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

What a fantastic Christmas! I’ve been way too busy to write everyday so I’ll get you all up to date right now! Hmmmm…there’s really not much to tell you about last week so I’ll just debrief what happened yesterday. On Christmas Eve I exchanged gifts with Daryn (she got me Dodgeball and I got her a S’mores Maker) and we made s’mores. The next morning I did the Christmas thing with my family, I got: a rope light palm tree, a betta, a DVD player, lots of new clothes, a pug purse, a CD player, and lots more! I got my mom: an ove glove, pajama pants, a calendar, a spatula, lotion, and lots more! I got my dad: an ove glove, pajama pants, an omelette maker, a movie, and lots more! Plus all the gifts for my friends and the rest of my family (I had a Christmas budget of $160 plus expenses). Then my sisters family came over and we opened more presents, then we did the big dinner thing, and I took Josh for a walk in his wagon. They finally went home around 5:00 and I fell asleep on the couch. Great, huh? I love the holidays!

P.S. My bettas name is Sprite Berry Remix, or Sprite for short.

"He needs a kick in the sleigh bells!"

Have you ever been so completly pissed you can't find words to describe your anger? I have that. I've been lied to, tricked, scammed, and worst of all it was by people I thought were my friends. But I think I found out who the lying, coniving, snake is; so don't worry I'll have my revenge. Isn't this a great way to kick off the holidays!? I'm sure it'll all get settled once school starts again, so you'd better get your story straight cause I'm not dealing with it anymore.

"All I Want For Christmas..."

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You...

All I want for Christmas is you baby...

"I started a joke..."

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,

but I didn't see that the joke was on me.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,

oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,

oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

Finals: Day 2

Today I had to take all my even finals, 2 (World History), 4 (Algebra 3-4), and 6 (Drivers Ed.). And I also checked the grades of some of the finals I took yesterday. I got an A- on my Spanish 3-4 final which means a got a B overall, I got a C on my Honors Sophomore English final which means I got a C overall, and today I got a B on my Drivers Ed. final which means I got a B overall. Not so bad, huh? But I think Algebra 3-4 really kicked my ass, I guessed on like every single one, I knew maybe eight answers. Overall a pretty lame day, I did get Heather pissed at me when I told her I thought her and Danny going out was kinda weird. I managed to calm her down though. I can’t believe I don’t have school until January 3rd! I’m gonna be so bored. And lonely. Half the school year is already over and I haven’t accomplished anything! Nothing I set out to do has come out right! This sucks! Time to write some New Years Resolutions!

“Pushing forward and arching back. Bring me closer to heart attack. Say goodbye and just fly away. When you comeback, I have some things to say.”

Finals: Day 1

Today I had my odd finals, that means classes 1 (Spanish 3-4), 3 (Honors Biology), and 7 (Honors Sophomore English). All of those exams were so hard! Mr. Baumler used the questions his students wrote for the review final, let’s just say all those kids failed cause they had no idea what they were talking about when they wrote those questions. We got out at 11:52 today so my sister took me to Burger King for lunch. Then at 3:00 I had an orthodontist appointment. He said I have one more appointment then my braces come off! Hooray! 10 days til’ Christmas and I still haven’t bought a single gift! Guess that means I’m spending this weekend at the mall.

“Heartache, heartache I just have so much. A simple love with a complex touch. There is nothing you can say or do, I called to let you know I'm through with you.”

What's your secret?

Can you guess mine?

"Secret"

Watch the sunrise

Say your goodbyes

Off we go

Some conversation

No contemplation

Hit the road

Car overheats

Jump out of my seat

On the side of the highway baby

Our road is longYour hold is strong

Please don't ever let go

Oh No

I know I don't know you

But I want you so bad

Everyone has a secret

But can they keep it

Oh No they can't

I'm driving fast now

Don't think I know how to go slow

Where you at now

I feel around

There you are

Cool these engines

Calm these jets

I ask you how hot can it get

And as you wipe off beads of sweat

Slowly you say "I'm not there yet"

I know I don't know you

But I want you so bad

Everyone has a secret

But can they keep it

Oh No they can't

"You don't have to fold the field"

Guard from 9:00 to 12:00 today, we still didn’t get the show done and Ralph isn’t coming back. So Alice and Cassidy have to write the rest of the work. We were going to go out to the track afterwards but the races were all over by the time we got home. So me and my mom decorated the Christmas tree instead. Pretty boring day, huh?

< JENNIFER >
"Sunday morning rain is falling. Steal some covers, share some skin. Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable, you twist to fit the mold that I am in. But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do. And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew, that someday is would lead me back to you."

Everything I need to know I learned in colorguard...

Ugh! 10 hour guard rehearsal! I'm so tired. Alice wouldn't let us sit down what-so-ever, it was ridiculous. Alice didn't get any better after my parents talked to her, in fact she got worse. But now not only was she being a bitch to me, she was being a bitch to everyone else too. She made the rifles run a lap, just because she wanted us to. She is out of control, I can't wait until Lang comes back (I'm starting to miss the little guy). On a better note, the work is awesome! I love it! If it turned out the work was lame, I would've been so disappointed I decided to stay (I only decided to stay so I can march colorgaurd). Colorguard is soooo much better than winterguard. I don't even know how to explain it. So I wont, but I'll leave you with this:

You know you've been in colorguard/band way to long if:
- Your friends notice bruises on you and you didn't even know that they were there
- You forget how to count above 8
- You always step off on the left foot
- You find yourself switching feet to get back on-step while walking through the mall
- You find yourself doing sashes down the hall
- You have 2 rifles/flags/sabres; one for practicing and one for performance
- You've hit yourself in the head enough times to the point it doesn't even hurt anymore
- You're always half an hour early whenever you're meeting someone
- Electrical tape is used for everything!!
- You're always thinking, "What's the football team doing on the marching field?"
- When you know exactly where that special band member is in the drill sets for the entire show!
- You walk in step to all the music you hear
- You can spin everything in sight (pencils, brooms, pool cues...)
- You can catch everything that's thrown at you
- You have an excuse for everything
- You know that "one more time" really means 5 more times
- You know that a five minute break really equals 2.5 minutes
- You went to all the school football games but never paid for one
- Your nails never extend the tips of your fingers
- You've never actually watched a football game
- You march to background music in the mall
- You're constantly running out of White-Out covering the marks on the walls and ceiling from the rifle/flag/sabre you WEREN'T spinning in the house...
- You know never to sit near the bus bathroom on a long road trip.
-You know that just because a band is from California doesn't automatically make them any better than us.

"What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head. You should know better you never listened to what I've said. Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat, hoping somebody someday will do you like I did."

"Why are you petting me?"

It seems we're watching a movie in every single one of my classes. Towards the end of the semester I think the teachers just give up. Today was supposed to be the day I quit winterguard, but my dad went crazy about me quitting and he went and talked to Alice (like that's gonna do anything). Anywho the weird thing was while I was waiting for my dad to come pick me up Charlie came over and petted my head and said "There, there"! Like I was a depressed crazy person or he just wanted to pet my hair, either way it's strange! And it's got me really confused (My god, do I have to deal with this again?). Why can't he just leave me alone and ignore me? That would make this a whole lot easier. All this is making me regret quitting guard, I'll never march with these people again if I quit. My parents want me to give guard another chance, I think I'll humor their little experiment just so I can see how Alice treats me now. So, when my mom got home tonight we put up the Christmas tree. I hate fake Christmas trees! I suck at "shaping" the branchs. Oh well, at least our house wont burn down while we sleep. Two quotes today, cause I'm not sure which one best sums up todays experiences. I'm sorta feeling both, and they both definetly apply to today. Hmmmm....time to ponder.

~*~Jennifer~*~
“You ain't ever coming back to me, that's not how things were supposed to be. You take my hand just to give it back, no other lover has ever done that.”
“But I cannot forget, refuse to regret, so glad I met you. Take my breath away, make everyday worth all of the pain that I have gone through.”

I QUIT

Another craptacular day. It’s a Thursday so I have all my lame classes today. In World History we watched First Knight, starring Richard Gere sporting a Mr. Baumler-esque mullet. Math was math (terribly boring) and Drivers Ed. was the same. I didn’t even get a chance to unwind at lunch, I had to go make up a vocab test. Then the torture really started, guard rehearsal. It only got worse after the whole switching spots with Cherisse thing. I only get five sets on saber, one of those sets is running on, and one of those sets is running off, so I get three sets of work. And you know who gets 10? The drill stealing slut Cherisse. Is that very fair? I don’t think so, I quit.

-Jennifer-
“Immobilized by the thought of you. Paralyzed by the sight of you. Hypnotized by the words you say. Not true but I believe 'em anyway.”

"Don't worry, it'll get better" - Matt

Don’t lie Matt, it never gets better. All was good until Jared told me to switch places with Cherisse. Remember Cherisse? Juvenile delinquent whore who snuck out of her room in California? The girl who isn’t even supposed to be on guard anymore? Well, not only does she get to be on guard; she gets to spin rifle and saber. Now the rifle part I don’t care so much about but the fact that she gets to spin saber and I get to spin flag, really pisses me off. So not only do I have to learn brand new drill, I get a brand new piece of equipment, a flag. This could possibly be the most unfair, asinine, ridiculous, downright dumb thing Alice has ever pulled. And I’m not over exaggerating. It seems to me this guard crap is always the same, I get screwed over. I think I’ll join an independent winterguard, if any are still excepting members or holding try-outs. Probably not, everyone already started their season. It never gets any better.
-Jennifer
"You build me up, you knock me down. Provoke a smile, and make me frown. You are the queen of run-around, you know it’s true. You chew me up, and spit me out. Enjoy the taste I leave in your mouth. You look at me, I look at you. Neither of us know what to do."

Q: Could my life be more crazy?

A: NO. This is as crazy as it gets. I almost fell off my brick wall today (refer to "Wait, one sec. I'm not done yet"). It's hard cause I like one boy more than all the others, but I'm sure he doesn't like me. I need to do something about this! It's driving me nuts! I need a link, an insider, anything would help right now. One thing that is certainly not is helping is having to watch Danny and Heather canoodling every damn day! I know one thing that would help, I'm not sure I can go through with it though .

-Jennifer
"I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down. I'm dancing till dawn. I'm fooling around. I'm not giving up. I'm making your love. This city's made us crazy and we must get out."

Shiver

It's been raining for three days straight! It's miserable and wet and cold. During lunch I had to fix my mitosis/meiosis extra credit project so I didn't have to sit out in the rain. Kristi helped me so I think I'll get a pretty good grade. Then after school I had drill rehearsal for winterguard, we got one page done! Yes! Success! But there is good news, sabers came! Yay! I think I have a natural talent for this most awesome piece of equipment. But there is bad news, I'm on rifle. I know, can you believe Alice put me on rifle? I don't want to spin rifle! I hate it and I'm terrible at it! I'm Cherisse's replacement. The punishment for the sneaking out in Cali thing is her and Reyna can't do colorguard next season and if they want to go to Vegas their parents have to go with them and they have to stay in their parents room. Sucks to be them.

-Jennifer
"There may not be another way to your heart, so I guess I'd better find a new way in. I shiver when I hear your name, think about you but it's not the same. I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin."

TIME TO PARTY!

12-4-04

Happy Birthday to Me! Time to party! Ok, so the whole thing starts out with Me, Heather, Lauren, and Daryn eating pizza and watching That 70’s Show (it was the musical episode). Then we ate cake and ice cream and opened presents. As we were getting ready to leave someone rang the doorbell, we thought it was Laurens dad coming to pick her up but there was no one at the door. So, Daryn and Heather chased some little kids down the street. Finally, I got them back in the house and we left for Skateland! When we got there Heathers new boyfriend Danny met us there, and me and Daryn bought disco ball earrings. Daryn sat out most of the time cause “skating’s not her thing”, Heather and Danny sat out most of the time cause they were making out, and as for me I skated! I forgot how much I love skating! It’s a great head clearer, you have to concentrate so hard on what you’re doing and not falling that you forget everything else. It was a nice break from all my drama at school. They closed down around 11:00 so we came home and watched Zoolander.

“Does it kill? Does it burn? Is it painful to learn, that it's me that has all the control? Does it thrill? Does it sting? When you feel what I bring, and you wish that you had me to hold.”

12-5-04

Happy Championship to Adam! Time to party! Ok so the whole thing starts out with me, Heather, and Daryn waking up, watching lame Sunday morning cartoons, and eating chocolate chip muffins. Then Daryn went home to sleep and Heather went home cause she was to chicken to come to the go-kart track with us. My god! It was so much fun! First, there was the whole awards ceremony and I sold raffle tickets, then everyone went to the buffet and at 3:00 we got to race! I went out with the juniors first and did ok, then I went out in a full size kart and did terrible, and for the last race I went out with the juniors again and got a really crappy car, plus I spun out and everyone passed me while I was stopped. But still, it was really fun! They closed down around 6:00 so we came home and watched Elf.

-Jennifer
“The rhythm of her conversation. The perfection of her creation. The sex she slipped into my coffee. The way she felt when she first saw me. Hate to love and love to hate her, like a broken record player. Back and forth and here and gone and on and on and on and on.”

NOTS (Note On The Side): I just read Heathers blog and found out we did win the game on Friday! Yay! I totally wasn’t watching at all, oops!

"They don't have algebra-half here!"

Much excitement! Ok here’s the scoop, Thursday Heather came over to my house to work on our extra credit project for biology. So basically we played on the swings up at the park then came back for maybe 45 minutes and made a poster. That night Heather and Maria went to the Mr. Marcos show (from what I hear they were invited by Nick) and I was forced to make appearances at the winterguard parent meeting. I set up the chairs and put them away, that’s it. But I did hear that Reyna, Cherisse, and Gaby were all suspended from school for 2 days for sneaking out after lights out in California. Ok so while I was hearing about the winterguard budget crisis, Nick asked Heather to go to the movies with him. So the next day (movie day) Danny gave Heather a hug which caused her to decide she’d rather go to the basketball game for a chance to hang out with Danny than go to the movies with Nick (who never called her anyway). While at the basketball game Daryn sorta forced Heather and Danny to “go out” (whatever that means these days). According to Lauren she thinks they were making out while I purchased a pack of Skittles. I’m not sure what to think but Danny did look pretty comfy with his arm around Heather. All in all things still suck cause I’m still single. But who cares, like I told Heather, some things just don’t work out.

-Jennifer
“How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable, so condescending unnecessarily critical? I have the tendency of getting very physical, so watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle. You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here, this double vision I was seeing is finally clear. You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone. Not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that I'm walking on.”
