Dear diary,

Today i jumped a bump.

True Friendship is:

if your friend were to freeze in europe, you would put them in a Glad bag that prevents freezer burn.

My calling in life:

To scare the crap out of Jennifer Chavez ..aka "the roommate" and cause her to urinate on her surrounding floor. following this i shall scoop up the urine and shower her with it in order to prove my superiority over her and her unimportant existence.

Request

the person formally known as "the roommate" is requesting to be known by her name, Jennifer. the end. hope you're happy!!!

So now i like to pretend that i didnt see him close up

so, last night was awesome! the roommate and i were having a quite tranquil dinner when i remember that Noise Ratchet was going to be playing at the Key Club in Hollywood at 8:30 for FREE. soo, after much contemplation we decided to go (i missed class). we finished up dinner (approx 6:10), went online to look for directions and went on our way. we had to stop at Citrus C College to search for the roommates' bf who had class. we never found him. we looked in every classroom on three floors of two buildings. we even started just calling out his name in the hallways in hope that he would hear us and step out of his class. oh well. so at about 7:15 we were definitely on our way to hollywood. there was no traffic until we got till about 5 miles before our exit. then, it took a bit of searching and asking random people on the streets so that we could find this so called Key Club. dont forget that it was also pouring by this time. anyways, we finally go there at 9. we parked in the parking lot and went through the short cut (alley) ...we were running becuase we didnt want to get wet. so we got to the door, soaked and cold. we just went right in. i think they were supposed to card us becuase they were serving drinks inside..oh well...we were cold, we didnt care. and the guy at the door was even talking to us as we walked in (he's nice..we talked to him on many occasions as the night went on). so, to my surprise as i entered it was nothing how i expected it to be. there wasnt the millions of people that i thought there was going to be...it was so cute and small. soo, we go past the many people that were just chillin by the door and head towards the front. then i had to pee..so the roommate and i started asking around for the bathroom and we had to go downstairs...it was scary because right when you turned the hallway there was a creepy statue (like the Van Helsing attraction at Disneyland) and so i decided to just be a man and hold it in. so we went back to the front.
so we met this totally awesome girl at the show...we kinda just started talking to eachother. she went to college in Florida but lives in Victorville..she books bands at certain venues. we liked her a lot. man, i thought i had energy! we later found out that her name was Pauline becuase the guys from Limbeck wrote a song about her and how her dad fixed their '91 honda. they dedicated it to her before they sang it. umm, what else. oh, so i couldnt hold it any longer and i decided that HAD to go pee or else i wouldnt be able to fully enjoy the greatness that is Noise Ratchet. so the roommate and i started towards the lavatory (hehe, i said lavatory). anyways, so on our way through the creepy hallway i saw one of the guys from Noise Ratchet and i said " this is so scary!" and he was like "yeah!" and then i was like "i saw you guys on saturday" and he was like "really?" and i was like "yeah, you guys are awesome" and then he shook my hand and said "thanks i really appreciate it" then he said his name but i forgot. hehehe. then we went to the bathroom (it was one of those super cool ones that have like hair products at your disposal and lotion and other girly things) . i didnt use them though..i was too excited to get out and go find the hottie that plays the drums for NR. and i saw him...unfortunately he is that type of boy that from afar he is the hottest little thing with two legs that you've ever seen, but up close..not so much. so now i like to pretend that i didnt see him close up. anyways, so we went back up and the Limbeck came on. i had seen them once before when i saw Motion City Soundtrack this summer and they were cool. they wore cowboy clothes (flannel shirts). and they totally made fans out of us after they played! they were super-de-duper! but we didnt want to take a chance and lose our spot so we stayed because noise ratchet was next. then The Greatness of noise ratchet began and it was beautiful. it's sad that the wont be having any more shows for a while...but it guess it's ok becuase i saw them TWICE in one week!!! yup. anyways, sooo after they played i saw these girls talking to one of the boys from the band and he gave her his pick...so i was like "me too" (in my head) and so i asked one of the boys if i could have a drum stick (yes, i know..what a gropie..but i dont care!). so the studmuffin of a drum player came over and gave me his stick. and i was like "thanks" and i was like "i saw you guys on saturday"<--phrase of the night..but hey..it gets the boys. and he was like "awesome,thanks for comming" and then he shook my hand and i was like "oh baby" (in my head) and then i got this image of some cartoon where a boy gets touched by the girl the he likes and he decides never to wash his hands again..so in the next scene of the cartoon his hands are all moldy and green, way funny. but i decided not to take that same path and wash my hands no matter how hot he is.(sigh). and then he gave me his drum stick!!!..it was chipped and everything! i didnt know the chipped. and so by now i am the happiest thing you ever did see. after this we went downstairs again to go buy the Limbeck cd but they were 10 and i only had 5. so we decided that we'd go out to the car later and get more money. so we hung out for a bit. then i saw these group of boys that looked familiar and we had noticed that they had been looking at us throughout the whole night and then we realized that the boys had been one of the bands that played with Noise Ratchet on saturday. and so i was like "you guys played with Noise Ratchet on saturday..you were good" and then he shook our hands and introduced himself as ...oh crap i forgot...and then he gave us a cd of his band (Nevada Sky) and we went on our way. THEN we left for the car.it was now 12. it wasnt raining anymore but the police had closed off the street in front of the venue so we wouldnt be able to get the Limbeck cd..oh well, i'll buy it online later. then we found our way back onto the freeway (by this time it had started raining again) so we drove like 60 all the way back to school. we got home a little past 1 and we had to run to the building becuase it was pouring! then we were too excited/hyper to sleep so it took us forever to get to sleep. then we started talking about how we wanted to go to Spain next year and we got even more excited. this year is getting better and better.! then i'm going to go see some cute boys on friday in corona. horray for cute boys! and that completes my blog for today.
p.s.
i've decided to start making my blog more personal. so it's pretty much a journal now. i'm sorry if i bore you.

Getting in touch with my earth tones

it's so depressing to think about how much things have changed just within that last almost year and a half since i graduated high school. how much people change..(and not always for the better). i try so hard to keep in touch with the friends that i had and i get nowhere. i wish that people cared as much as i do about continuing the relationship that we had. i know that people are busy with school and work and the new atmosphere of college, but i dont think that it should be a reason to completely forget about the past. i dont know...there's a word... melancoly?..where you long for the past.anyways, i think that's the word i would use to describe myself. i'm always thinking about the fun times i had and how i no longer have them. a little sad, yes..but that's just how i am. i'm getting better at not calling people to see if they want to play, but it still hurts.(sign).
on a brighter note: i saw Noise Ratchet on saturday and they were super. i like them..i bought a t-shirt(which i am currently wearing), a cd and i "permanently borrowed" a poster that was on the wall. they're playing tonight in hollywood, but i have class from 7-9:30 and i already missed that class once and it's a once a week class..blah! but see, it was worth it becuase the roommate and i had tons of fun throwing empty water bottles tied to string at people out of the window. the end.
OH, and i absolutely love kids. i had soooo much fun at my community service last night. i was covered in stickers by the time i got back to my room, but i loved it! i love reading to them and playing with them and just spending time with them.( sign) <--happy sign
thank you for flying Air-Jennyfer and please watch your step as you disembark the aircraft.

Thankful

Sometimes i feel that i should be doing more with my life. i go to class...work...community service and homework when i have it. other than that...my day is pretty empty.i spend my time doing nothing on the internet and talking with the girls.this has brought me to realized that i dont really have any hobbies. i mean, i used to LOVE to read...i would read forever..i'd stay up reading..and now...i dont even get those urges that i used to. i dont know why they stopped or why why wont begin again..it makes me sad...i miss that feeling of not being able to wait until the next time to read would be. and i miss having my family calling at me to go eat dinner and me just wanting to read just one more chapter. (sigh)...i dont know... i dont know. and everyone seems to be so busy with school right now that it makes me feel as if i dont deserve to have it this good. people have so many problems going on in their lives right now and school just adds to the stress. and i feel so bad becuase i dont have school or life related stress. i want to just take peoples' stress away and take some of it for myself, but i know i cant do that and it depresses me. i wish i could make everyones' problems go away becuase no one deserves what is going on in their lives. i just dont understand why God is so good to me. but i'm forever grateful.

Relient K - Am i Understood?

sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you/to hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through this version of myselfi try to hide behind/ i'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified/and sometimes i'm so thankful for your loyalty/your love regardless of the mistakes i make will spoil me/my confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me/and i'm satisfied to realize you're all i'll ever need/you looked into my life/and never stopped/and you're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful/and you recite my words right back to me/before i even speak you let me know, i am understood/and sometimes i spend my time just trying to escape/i work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space/ cause i want distance from the utmost important thing i know/i see your love, then turn my back, and beg for you to go/you're the only one who understands completely/you're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely/and sometimes the place i'm at is at a loss for words/if i think of something worthy, i know that it's already yours /and through the times i've faded and you've outlined me again/you've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then/the noise has broken my defense/let me embrace salvation your voice has broken my defense/let me embrace salvation

Most incredibly wonderful movie!

So i saw The Grudge today, all i have to say is: b-e-a-utiful. i loved it!!! this is what i had been craving after the huge let-down i recieved from The Village. i have to admit that i cried a little bit...a little too much scary for jennyfer..who knows? all i know is that it was awesome and i would definitely watch it again. hopefully it'll start playing at the three dollar theater soon so i dont have to spend 7.50. (eventhough i didnt pay today).

Tip of the day: go see The Grudge

Saw this on someone else's Blog and thought it was a stellar (word of the day) idea

Well, thanks for reading. i'll update my list as often as i can. i'll add chunks at a time. have a beautiful day!!!

Weather

It's amazing how certain weather con make you feel so many different feelings all at once. so i'm sitting here in my dorm cutting green tissue paper for my Visual/Performing Arts class so that my "students" can make trees, and all of a sudden, i get overwhelmed with all of these different emotions. maybe it's the fact that i'm listening to Death Cab, who knows. but like, i want to laugh, i want to cry, i want to be held, i want to be alone...it' s all so confusing.

The Beginning

So this is my first post. i do not know what i am doing. i'm sure that i will learn as i go.how exciting, this is like a little diary that i can write in. i'm sure the boyfriend will be please because he will no longer be the receiver of my beefy emails containing the events of my day. forewarning: i cannot type. thanks for reading. you're super!
