That really makes me happy that he cares enough about me to work with me to keep me swimming.

They don&amp;#39;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.</content>

    <content type="html">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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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</content>

    <lj:music>Hero..take away your pain. (by the guy w/ the mole??)</lj:music>
    <content type="html">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.&lt;br /&gt;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.</content>

    <content type="html">OK guys. that was wayy fun last night. even though we didn't get to the &lt;a style="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;" href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=24&amp;amp;k=shrinky%20dinks"&gt;shrinky dinks&lt;/a&gt;, 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 :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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???</content>

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

    <content type="html">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.  &lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;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 :)</content>

I really hope it doesn't rain... snowboarding trip doesn't look like it's going to work out like it was supposed to.&lt;br /&gt;there is nothing more that i hate than being told i'm selfish. i really hate when other people are selfish, but i hate it one million and 56 times more when i am.  i should be more understanding, but i can't get myself to like her/be friends with her. i shouldn't be outwardly mean either, but it;s so tough when she is just a bitch to everyone. i seriously don't think i've truly not liked at all any person, until now. ive also learned that i can't be around people who are so negative all the time.  i am so sick of self pity and feeling sorry for myself and cheering people up who are always feeling sorry for themselves, although they do have good reasons that i will probably never understand.  i try to understand and be motivating but it sucks that nothing that you say will bring them up and you get to the point that youre repeating yourself so much...i love complaining to the internet&lt;br /&gt;yay for san diego</content>

    <lj:music>Her space holiday (the entire CD. I love it)</lj:music>
    <content type="html">on my walk home from swim practice I started to think... I have multiple personalities. There is the Jen that is very focused, motivated and organized. I write everything down- all my plans (swim, homework, babysitting, random events). I don't waste any time, every moment is filled with something. There is also the Jen that is extremely relaxed and laid back. I don't care about anything. Just whatever happens happens. Go with the flow. Sometimes I am this extremely happy person. I just love everyone and everything. I hug everyone I see (I love it when I'm like this). THen I also have this side to me that is very superficial (i'm embarrassed to admit it, but it is definitely true). I always try look pretty or whatever. Try to be thin. Try to impress? only care what other people think... LAME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could find some healthy balance between all four. Well I guess not-so-much the fourth one. It's dumb to care only what other people think about you, but it is hard not to. I don't know. I hate that it's true, but it is. There is definitely a good time to be on task, not waste any time. But there is just as much a need to be relaxed. I'm searching for the correct balance at the moment. I have been the laid back relaxed person for wayyy too long. I'm starting to annoy myself. I DONT want to become too prioritized? or hmm other word...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LeeLee and I sort of wrote a book. It's only about a fourth of a page long, but it is the most hilarious/strange/crazy thing you will read. No, we weren't drunk or on drugs, but here it is...&lt;br /&gt;-Something Catchy-&lt;br /&gt;Book. &lt;br /&gt;It either started in English or Pe. Both classes made up of unlikely kids, tards. Retards if you're friendly, but no politically correct. Developmentally disabled. Something's wrong with classes like htose. I don't know what. It makes one feel more retarded. Groups of people who don't know what they're doing. no one wanting to do anything, no productivity just because it doesn't seem worthwhile. THere's no thinking tank. Not even a tank at all. Not even those plastic bags at the carnival with the one fish that will wind up dead no matter how hard one tries to spare it's life.  BEcause it was won. A prize. the A+? ANything that comes easy isn't appreciated. Anything hard doesn't wan to be done.  It's always great when it's done though.&lt;br /&gt;This is not the teenager's manifesto. This isn't the communist manifesto. we're no Marxists. We're not teens.  We're not a carnival prize.  &lt;br /&gt;Book Worthy.&lt;br /&gt;The world spinning backwards while kids who just took a religion class smoke a bowl and kids who went through a metal detector take a test. It's not insane. It's different.  Things shattered. THings used. A lack of specifics in a world moving too fast to even notice that the table has not only been moved across the room but later used at firewood. Things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was obviously mostly written by LEeLee because she is 72 times more creative than me. No matter. It is still very strange. If someone would like to explain it, that would be awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing bad for 2-3 weeks. Ready. Go!!!!!!</content>

    <lj:music>something to do with my hands- her space holiday</lj:music>
    <content type="html">I don't fucking understand anything. I am so angry right now. Holy shit. How come things are so bad. There are so many homeless people. There is no way to really help them either. If you give them money, they have a chance of wasting it and spending it on alcohol. I mean, yeah, they are happy for a few hours, but what happens when it gets too cold? what happens when they are soo hungry? what happens when it rains? what happens when there aren't any kind people to help them out? what happens then?! I don't understand. How can someone live like that? Not knowing how they are going to get food for the day. Not knowing where you're going to sleep. Not knowing anything. It makes me want to cry. &lt;br /&gt;I'm so afraid of the future. What if I end up like that? And how can I just say "they" as if they (there I go again with the "they") are worth less than I am? That's such bullshit. I really hate that. &lt;br /&gt;I'm so frustrated with everything. Nothing has even gone wrong. I'm just being lame again. I hate that too. I hate being lame. I wish I were more thankful for everything I have. &lt;br /&gt;I sorta just want to restart everything. Too bad there isn't a restart button on life like there is on an old pinball machine or any video game ever.&lt;br /&gt;I want summer to be here. I want it to be warm outside. I want everyone to be happy.</content>

We ate crepes from the orgasmic crepe restaurant!!!!! I cant wait to go back, just for the crepes :) And then Andrew and I visited Mark and watched some of a football game. WHat a fun day.

    <content type="html">I'm such a retard and screwed up my ankle again. It's the size of a golf ball at the moment. This time it was from falling down stairs which is pretty sad, but it's better than the last time when it was from playing capture the flag during PE. I'm so afraid to tell Mike. Lame.&lt;br /&gt;Jessica now can drive and it is the greatest thing ever. We had a burrito Friday!!! they're back on :) Burritos are so great. It's amazing hte amount of ways you can eat one. First there is LeeLee's technique which is just noramlly eating it. Nothing special to it. Then there is my way. I like to massacre my burritos with a fork and take most of the guts out. And Finally there is Jessica's way where you politely eat it was a fork and knife. I love burritos.&lt;br /&gt;I'm stuck in 7th grade and I hate it. How can I be so lame? It's quite disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;I think everyone should go see Closer. I went last night with Jackie, Tyler and LeeLee. It's such a wonderful movie. It's purely about sex and it only has 4 actors, but it is extremely good. Go see it.&lt;br /&gt;I've lost my motivation to do anything. I used to be so go.go.go. and barely procrastinated, but now I can't seem to get anything done and I am so unorganized. It's horrible.&lt;br /&gt;Alex made me a salad with smile on it :) that is my all time favorite song ever. at least for now it is.</content>

    <content type="html">well, break is pretty much over. that makes me want to cry. this semester I am promising myself I will try super hard in order to make up for last semester which completely raped me in the ass. I spent my last day getting service hours, going to Homestead and just hanging out and then going to swim practice and attempting to get back into shape (i havent worked out hard core in about 3 weeks and Im turning into a fatty). &lt;br /&gt;Visiting everyone at homestead was soo fun though. I got to see Lizzy again (she was never mad at me. For some reason I really thought she was, but I guess I just like to make up problems). &lt;br /&gt;I wish I was creative and was able to write some great thought of mine, but my mind is pretty much blank at the moment. I really don't want to start school again, but I think this part of the year will be more action-packed. Or at least it is my goal to make it better. well actually it will be because fake sadies is coming up and i cant wait!</content>

    <lj:music>I believe I can fly- R.Kelly (on the spacejam soundtrack)</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Wow. 2004 seemed to have gone by extremely fast. I don't even remember it all, but I will try. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last new years was spent in Bear Valley with Jackie and family friends. I actually almost missed new years last year, but woke up 10 seconds before. We were watching Austin Powers after an awesome day of snowboarding and totally fell asleep. Lame, I know. I don't remember too much of January, except there was the Berkeley meet which was quite fun and we ate orgasmic crepes.&lt;br /&gt;February was pretty cool. I went on a cruise to the Caribbean with the same family friends that almost missed new years with me. That was quite a party. I sadly missed the San Diego swim meet, but I heard it wasn't that great anyhow. Swim for st francis had also started. That was pretty fun too. Dave (the coach) is probably the most awesome guy ever. I'm so excited to have him coach us again this year! &lt;br /&gt;March I don't remember. Fake Sadies was probably around this time. That was when me, Jessica, Lizzy, LeeLee, Jon Jon, and Matt dressed up and went to golfland in order to protest Sadies. I think this year we're going to laser tag. Laser tag in dresses... MADNESS! also sometime around here, we went breakfasting. This would be where you TP, egg, orange juice, pancake mix, and whip cream someone's house. Poor soccerwhore...NOT! We definitely have to do that again. Maybe not as bad because that was probably a bitch to clean up, well she is a bitch. Let's do it again. Fab 5. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;I don't remember April. May was an insane month though. CCS... I went 1:01 in the fly, but haven't been able to touch it since sadly... May was just really busy with school and everything. June... We had a meet in Clovis. That was extremely fun. I think that was my favorite swim meet ever. Oh! the night before clovis was fun too. That was the night my parents left so there was a mini party. I think that was then because I remember the drive up to clovis was one of the worst things ever and the first day swimming there, I wanted to die. Also around this time Jessica, LeeLee and I went to see Treephort. What a crazy band. I dont think any band can beat them live. One guy lit his balls on fire which was pretty gross and two of them ended up stripping completely. wow. so insane. I remember LeeLee and I fell asleep on the way home in Avi's car. sorta rude. oh well. couldn't help it. I guess I should mention finished first year of high school. i dont know if that's an accomplishment, but if it isn't, I think it should be. &lt;br /&gt;Summer went by quickly. I do know that I rode my bike a few times a week to teach swim lessons. It took my around 40 minutes. One time I made it in 35. That was the greatest thing. I also went to Texas for a week by myself. That was way fun. Maybe I'll move to Texas one day. Or actually no I won't, but houses are much cheaper there and according to miss chizam the world is going to end pretty soon so there won't even be time to move to Texas even if I wanted to, which I don't. I went to warped tour with Jessica, Lizzy and LeeLee. We actually didn't have to pay and snuck in and pretended we were with a band. That was exciting. And I went crowd surfing for the first time which was extremely exciting. That was a really fun day. Jackie and I hung out with Ryan a lot. We had a bon-fire on the beach. And went on a hill and listened to Jem. Swimming was lame in the summer and I barely swam at all. And then we finally got our 3 weeks off of swim (greatest 3 weeks ever!!!!) There was also the SUNN sleepover. Well except no one ever slept. That was a crazy night. whoa.&lt;br /&gt;September... Major humpday (I want another one sooo badly) that's all i remember about september. October was halloween, but that wasn't too exciting. November was Mission Viejo. That was extremely fun. Kiss the flag Andrew! I think in November was when the open house at school was. I talked to Laura and realized I'm not a very good friend. I'm trying to work on that.&lt;br /&gt;December... I don't know if it was good or bad. Mostly good. Brian and I broke up. It sorta sucks, but is the best for both of us. I couldn't handle a long-distance relationship, it's just too much. Nearly a year and a half. That's a long time. Besides that, there was the dance. Strangely it was soo fun. Thanks Matt/obese husband for going with me :) Also, I went snowboarding with Jackie. We were pretty bummed that Jon Cefalu couldn't go, but it was sooo much fun. I want to go back. And new year's this year was ten times better. First of all we actually stayed awake the whole night. We went over to the same family friends cabin again. When we got home, we had a mini humpday with a side of baking cookies :) It may not sound too exciting, but it was good. &lt;br /&gt;To start the first day of the year, Jackie and I went on a walk in the snow and finished up a camera (I love pictures) and then went to a family reunion type thing that was strangely sorta fun, except I didn't know anyone and they knew me. &lt;br /&gt;That year seemed to go by so incredibly fast, but it was pretty jam-packed. There's so much other stuff that happened but I really can't remember it all, so that's just highlights. This was more so that I remember the year. I feel like I just wrote myself a really long yearbook entry. Loser.</content>

    <content type="html">I am really thankful for all of my friends. I don't know where I would be without them. Yesterday I wrote Tyler a 7 page letter filled with complaints and worries and he actually read it. Thanks Tyler :) That's so awesome to have people that care enough to drop everything and be there for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think one of my hugest problems is that I like to hide a lot of feelings. That could also be better because a lot of the time people don't want to know your small pathetic problems. I have such a hard time trusting people. I always worry that they may think I'm dumb for thinking a certain thing which is even more retarded because I'm usually not one to base my life around other people's thoughts and opinions. But I guess I really am. When I'm really angry I usually just put on a huge, fake smile which makes everything better, but it really doesn't. It just makes it temporarily go away. I don't like to make a big deal out of small things though. I think that is the most retarded thing ever. There's a time and a place to get angry, but making everything such a huge thing doesn't help, it just makes the problem worse. That's why I like to smile and shrug it off. I pretty much have no other complaints and I feel refreshed letting everything out (sorry tyler), but I wish it was easier to tell people how you truly feel. I just let everything pile and then explode later. But I like to keep most things to myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sugar Ray makes me so happy. This song is called Personal Space Invader. It's pretty awesome and somehow reminds me of the phenomenauts (spelling is wrong i think, but they are an awesome band).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I just want to be left alone&lt;br /&gt;Move your big head &lt;br /&gt;It's my way go and get your own &lt;br /&gt;All my friends can't relate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No time off to hesitate&lt;br /&gt;To my head touch my face&lt;br /&gt;Two steps back you're in my space&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more impossible to position&lt;br /&gt;Got the high score&lt;br /&gt;Forgot to put the letterage</content>

    <content type="html">I am so sick of everyone and their selfishness! I seriously can't stand it anymore. Christmas time makes people 10 times more selfish than they usually are. Everyone wants to get presents for people. Not because they want them to be happy, but because they want presents back or because they just want to look good. People are such whores. No one can simply say "thank you" or "excuse me". I can't stand that. Two words can make such a difference in people's days. I don't understand why that can't happen. Oh wait, people just suck. That's why. I feel bad that I'm complaining about everyone, but I am sick of it. I want everyone to unselfish themselves. I have so much more to complain about, but I'm going out with Laura and Becca... the coolest people in the world, so I may not have to complain later because they are so genuine and care about everyone. I love them!</content>

    <content type="html">My mom always counts to 10 when she's really pissed off. Ok. this is going to sound lame, but I don't think many people read this anyhow so it doesn't really matter. I was on a taper for the past 2 weeks getting ready for the fatty meet this weekend, BUT our entries never got turned in...or they were turned in after the meet closed. that sucks. Emily shaved her hairy legs for no reason, except it was getting gross, so good job Emily! She was the other one that got majorly screwed by the miss entry thing. That totally sucks!!!!! Oh well. There is nothing I can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;Andrew's holiday party was tonight. It was fun in a weird way. We ate a ton! and made gingerbread men. Emily and I made twin men and won movie tickets! And I got to see Katie Sun! I totally miss her at swimming, she was awesome, but she is doing what makes her happy which is ten times cooler. Swimming isnt the thing you can do if you only half like it (angelaaaaaaa :) i love you.) It takes up so much of your life and causes you to miss out on hanging out with friends nearly every weekend! But not this weekend because Im not entered in the meet!!!! so frustrating!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackie's 18th birthday is tomorrow! I'm baking her a cake at the moment. I hope she has the best day ever tomorrow. She completely deserves it. I've never met someone so hardworking and ambitious as her. She is definitely the coolest person ever and I hope she has a great birthday! I love you Jackie!!! And there will most definitely be a hump day in the near future in her honor. I hope. If not, something even more crazy and exciting (like snowboarding during new years:)! ) Happy Birthday Jackie!</content>

    <content type="html">ok. today was so much better than I thought it was going to be. Jessica gave me BFF underwear that actually says BFF!!!! first final= history (barf) that didnt go so well actually. after it though, it was extremely fun. Becca, Laura and I went to house of bagels. the bagels were so delicious for some reason. well I guess bagels are always really good. I started pulling on this string that was attached to my shirt and I ended up ripping my entire shirt, so the strap fell off. it was sort of like tarzan and jane after. it was so uncomfortable and now im sad because I really like that tanktop. oh well. While Becca and I were studying for spanish and french, Laura went to safeway to get candy, except she called it fat because she decided you cant have candy before 10. Laura is the most awesome person in the world. and im sure everyone agrees that she gives the best hugs ever. it's not like those hugs that people you dont really like that much give you. a lot of people just give hugs. I think it's an excuse to touch. I sometimes hug people, but only when im in a good mood, or else its just not fun. anyhow, Laura gives everyone the nicest hugs and it just makes you feel important when you get a Laura hug. So, after we got back to school, after eating soooo much chocolate, we started throwing hugs (kisses except with white and milk chocolate mixed together) at everyone and told them it was a "happy first day of finals" present. I think that made everyone happy. It made me happy because it just released the tension and made today seem like a happy day rather than a lame, I-dont-want-to-be-here day. the french final was sooo much easier than I thought it was going to be, so it was ok that I didnt study. &lt;br /&gt;Today was a good day and its only 1:20. cool.</content>
