hi, i'm jen.

18th May, 2005. 11:14 pm.

It's 11 PM and I am done (wait! im finished because meat is done, people are finished- thanks Mrs. Kruczynski) I am finished with my homework. For some reason though, I am on the computer. what the hell? I watched THE MASK today with Kento. What a great movie. and Cameron Diaz is extremely hot. I'm jealous.

Lately, I've been having a really hard time being positive. It's not like horrible things are happening, but enough not-so-good things are happening that it is resulting in me going into my room and crying. If you know me, I barely ever cry. Swimming has been really tough. At CCS I swam like shit. Nothing really i can say about that to make it sound any better. I was just really slow. A lot of people did really well though. Russ swam incredibly which was no surprise. Emily of course was phenomenal (what a great word.) Jenna and Victoria did so so so so well. And the same with everyone else. I told Mike I was thinking of quitting because I basically suck and he told me that we could work something out so I didn't quit completely. That really makes me happy that he cares enough about me to work with me to keep me swimming. ITs either that or he just feels like if I quit, I wasted all of his time or he just needs someone to be the 4th person on a relay which i really really hope isnt the case.

My family has been extremely

My family has been extremely <insert some negative word here- can't think of one.> I feel like my parents have almost given up on me. They don't support anything I do which makes it a bit harder to want to try. My grades suck and i dont know how to swim anymore. Basically thats all that i do so im worthless to them now. that sounds so much worse than it really is. sorry im being over dramatic. try reading with a sarcastic voice in mind.

Big meet this weekend. Jeremy called again and this time i answered. that was weird. excuse me sir, i didnt call you back because i didnt want to talk to you. i was drunk when i met you and never want to talk to you. I also got hit in the face with a bungee cord today. i didnt cry. i thought i would but i didnt. go jen.

Pretty soon summer will be here. I cant wait. go summer. I want to watch Fast Food Nation and Hotel Rwanda! OOHHHHH and also!!!!! anyone who would like to join me on a 24-hour relay walk for cancer please let me know. its not until August 20th. i need a team of 24, each person walks an hour. Im pretty sure that you can walk with other people. i dont know all of the information, i just think its a nice idea becuase Brenda has cancer and she had to have a blood transfusion today. i really hope she is ok. i love you brenda. Shirley, my almost grandma, had a triple bypass today. how is everyone getting so sick?

26th April, 2005. 7:46 pm. let's pack our bags and settle where palm trees grow

I can't focus at all. The worse part is that there is no time to not focus. Just stay positive. I think I found a talent. I can usually find good things in shitty times. or at least i'm good at seeming happy. its always tough when one person is down because moods are contagious and can rub off on other people. its kinda cool that you can change a persons entire day around just by being cheerful and positive. really. as corny as that sounds it totally is true.

i hope you're surgery went well brenda. i know this time they'll get all of the cancer. you're break is coming. thanks for always being there for me even when you're going through shitty times. i love you.

Current mood: worried.
Current music: something corporate.

Current mood: amused.

grosssssssssss today was the most miserable day ever. except not, but i was just sooo tired. sleep has become a luxury and i am learning to survive without it. im just always so tired and would do anything to be able to sleep through the night but for some reason i wake up 3-4 times. i guess i just have a lot on my mind, but its hard to talk to people (go livejournal!) i always feel like i am bothering someone which is probably the truth.

at least burrito friday was awesome as always. today was extra good though because sooo many people went. i loved it most of all because leelee and i got to talk and i havent actually said more to her than "hey" all week. i missed her last burrito friday - sorry my old burrito made you barf:( - i havent laughed that much in such a long time. i love you guys.

Guess who has tickets for her space holiday/the faint/ bright eye!! yeah jessica and i! thats soooo incredibly awesome. i am so stoked for this concert. it will most definitely be the most outrageous thing ever. and we dont even have to sneak out because we miraculously got parent approval. what?!? AMAZING

the things they carried is an amazing book. i mean wow. so cool. i hope things get better. oh yes, and my happiest moment of the week! TAP raised over 150 bucks from a bake sale for battered women. that was by far the highlight of the week. the month even. i cant believe that much just from a bake sale. support battered women! yay

Current mood: drained.
Current music: pain- milk!!!.

6th April, 2005. 7:28 pm. you know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired :(

It's happened again. They found more cancer. One would think that she could just take some time, time without any medical problems, and enjoy life. Always worried about making rent, how to pay the medical bills, how to have hope after so many let downs. More cancer?!?! I wish I could take away all of her pain. It kills me to see her now. Almost lifeless, but still trying to be positive although she has little hope this time. who can blame her? they didn't get it all last time. what will make this time any different? when will she get a break? she wasn't even fully recovered from 2 other medical issues.
I remember last october, when we went to that concert. i never had so much fun in my life. it seemed like no one else mattered. it was just us sitting there and sharing stories. i would do anything to see her so happy again. even if it were just for one minute.

Current mood: depressed.
Current music: Hero..take away your pain. (by the guy w/ the mole??).

OK guys. that was wayy fun last night. even though we didn't get to the shrinky dinks, it was still a blast. Marissa, Molly, Becca, Laura, LeeLee, Nika, and Jessica all sleptover last night. It was so cool. Molly nika and i spent probably 30 minutes playing Bop it. Marissa makes me so happy. She definitely can amuse herself wherever she is and is wonderful at lincoln logs (yeah, those cool blocks you played with when you were 5). yay for pastels :)

I definitely want to be a dietitian. Along with a chef and possibly a teacher. As different as those all sound, they are all quite similar. If I were a chef though, I'd most likely be a baker. like i want a cute little shop that serves grilled cheese and dessert. odd combination but whatever.

My mom is considering letting me go to Washington DC for this leadership conference that I was nominated for by an old St. francis kid! thats awesome. And my books came in today!!! i love to read. yay! gross. swimmeet tomorrow... it should be fun. or at least it is my goal to make it fun. i will. well it is burrito fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. what place will we go to this week???

Current mood: cheerful.
Current music: is there a burrito song by anybody?.

6th March, 2005. 8:55 pm. if you want to sing out, sing out

yay for LeeLee and Harold and Maude :) I totally am going to play that for english next time. Hopefully it'll go better thn when i played the BFF song...Ms.D REALLY didnt like that one...

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. I'm pretty sure that's from Finding Nemo. That's like my motto at the moment. just keep swimming. i feel like im just going through the motions because swimming just isnt very interesting. but it's not just swimming. everything just seems pretty boring to me. it's not like i have nothing to do or anything. my grades aren't doing so well so i could definitely work on that. i have exactly one million and 3 books that i want to read, so i could be doing that to. along with other various things (MY BOOKSHELF THAT MY DAD AND I MADE IS FINISHED!!!!!!--i just had to add that in there to excite this entry a little and stop being so self-pity, cry for me) ok enough complaining blah blah blah

reminders to myself: 1> dont rely on other people for things you can simply do yourself 2> dont be a bitch 3> do your laundry 4> read :) 5> do better in Bio because honestly, you suck 6> dont take things too seriously because that is just lame. 7> hang out with jackie, laura, Becca, nika, jill, angela and jenna more because they're so fun

Current mood: calm.
Current music: Big willie style (will smith of course- i love him).

22nd February, 2005. 8:09 pm. put a smile on your face, make the world a better place.

I had a very good time in San Diego. There were definitely times that sucked about it. Lots of emotional bullshit. I wish I was able to express my feelings. It's just too hard for me to trust people. I've only fully been able to trust one person, and even her I can't tell everything. I try to be as open as possible with everyone, but that's even hard because most people don't even care. Most rather I just listen to them. That's not a bad thing though, everyone likes someone to complain or have someone to compliment them.
This is lame...my religion teacher told my class this story about this guy who everyone loved because he treated everyone the same and didn't judge anyone based on their past. i wish i had that quality. i realized that even though people do STUPID/DUMB/BITCHY/HORRIBLE things, they still can be somewhat cool. i guess i can take it back now. i don't hate anyone.
i'm just frustrated with a lot of things. i can't even get myself to type in this online journal that nobody even reads. at least san diego was beautiful even though it was rainy and stormy and everybody got zero sleep. i want to live in southern california so badly. its absolutely gorgeous there :)

Current mood: whatever.
