Are you restless like me?

Jenna's former blog. It will still be here, but she will not be here.

"Baby, it's 3 am, I must be lonely..."

I like some Matchbox 20 songs, alright?!

Staying up all night is boring. I give up.

 

Trying to stay awake.

I like fresh, clean sheets. And clutter free tables. And free pens that write in purple ink.

I have too many promotional and compilation cds. And too many t-shirts.

I've turned the bed I made for my cat into a tray for paper.

I have a big glass canister that needs to be filled with little colorful things. I'd put my beads in it but that would make it hell to try to use them.

Of course the night I decide to stay up all night to reset my internal clock, I get hell of tired. Dammit.

I wonder how long it will take me to get my room cleaned, painted, and rearranged. Hopefully I'll finish before school starts.

Maybe I'll get a little job during the school year if my classes are spaced out the way I want them to be (physics and gov/econ not at the same time).

Apparently the chances of a trip up to Seattle before school starts are much slimmer than I thought. I hate when things like that happen. That's why I want to sell my stuff, to help pay for the trip. A lack of funds is the issue, not timing or anything.

Additional things I want to get rid of:
-An Urban Outfitters chandelier thing. Think giant silver sequins.
-Pog set and board.
-A never used bed canopy/mosquito net. White, really pretty but impractical for my room. It has all the stuff needed to hang it up.
-A suede Roxy coat, worn once.

I don't even know why I'm putting this stuff here. No one wants to buy my junk. I should take some of the clothes and jewelry to Buffalo Exchange or something.

7/30/2006

 

Yard sale.

I get distracted from cleaning very easily.

Does anyone wanto buy a red Fender Squire Strat with all the accessories (case, strap, stand, tuner, replacement strings) and/or a Fender Frontman 15G amp with all cords and a headphone adaptor?
Also up for sale:
-Some clothes I wore maybe once or twice
-Tons of ties
-A light-up party sign
-Three fedoras (brown, gray/black, or red)
-Maybe a set of brand new, never used speakers that light up (I'll have ot think about that one)
-Maybe assorted cds
-A vintage owl necklace that all those indie girls are wearing (was my grandma's)
-My sewing, mending, stenciling, and other crafty services
-Almost anything else of mine you can think of

Make me an offer!

I should start eBaying. I need money.

7/27/2006

 

I wish I could find that picture.

I've decided to let my hair grow out past my shoulders, like it was in late 8th grade. Someone hold me to this, because I will get frustrated at some point and want to get it cut short again.

7/26/2006

 

Seniors rule!!

I want my class schedule already. I can't decide if I'd rather have no first or fourth block. No first block and I don't have to get up until 8 which means more sleep. No fourth block and I get to be home before 2 which means more time for afterschool outings.

Right now I'm really hating my English class at Chabot, but that's only because I have a paper due in 4.5 hours. I know that this year will be so much better because I got this class over with already. My only academic classes will be physics honors, government/economy, and German 3. Only two of those will have much homework.

I'm excited about driving myself to school. But I can't drive with anyone else in the car until my birthday. Oh shit, I turn 18 in four months and 2 days!

7/25/2006

 

Yay!

The car for Jordan is currently running.

7/22/2006

 

"...and those form clouds. Look, they're pretty!"

My brother got a job at Intel. So he needs a car to get to said job. My mom and dad bought him a 1992 Toyota Camry that they found out about on Craigslist on Thursday. It was actually pretty nice: good AC, nice paint job and interior, seemed to run fine too. Until my dad attempted to drive it out to Davis. It just stopped near Fairfield. The guy says he didn't know anything was wrong and will work with us to pay for it. But Jordan needs it by Monday to get to his first day of work. Hopefully they can get it fixed by then.

This is such crap. Why can't anything go right for my family? It usually works out okay in the end, but it would be nice if everything just went as planned sometime.

I felt like I needed a rainbow, so I made one.

7/19/2006

 

More of a reminder for myself.

7 days of class left.
Senior picture appointment next Thursday at noon. Have to find a tank top by then, I have one somewhere. Stupid messy room.
Must look into early decision options for UW, and find definition of resident.
Start school shopping?
I'd like to go thrifting. If I do I want to look for neat jars and boxes.

Okay, I'm just gonna make a damn to-do list.

7/15/2006

 

102 degrees Fahrenheit.

At my brother's. I tried sushi, eh. I don't think I'd choose it over the terriyaki chicken.

Went to a coffee place, the guy working there surpassed Sean, sorry Joey.

7/13/2006

 

"That's right I am barely alive."

Oh, and this Saturday I will be taking Amtrak to Davis. I will be "Jordan's little sister" at a party at his place. But seriously, what 22-year-old college graduate invites his little high schooler sister to his party? I think I'm the cool one in this equation.

On another note, Brandon Flowers is pretty.

 

"I'm not in love with the modern world."

I can't decide if I like Wolf Parade or not. I like the singer's voice.

I also can't decide if it's too late for coffee.

My inventory of t-shirts is at least 50% black band/concert t-shirts. It's probably 80% band/concert shirts of any color. Random people talk to me when I wear band shirts. This is good and this is bad. At least it's interesting, though.

I want to spend the next year (as in next approximately 365 days) exploring the Bay Area as much as possible.

My scalp is flaking, it was sunburned at Warped.

 

Lauren, look!

I'VE FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL OF INTERNET HOW-TO'S.

Make light up shoes for adults. I think I need to go shopping...

7/10/2006

 

"These walls are paper thin..."

I can't even go to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of coffee without everyone in the house knowing.

Sleep and Wake-Up Songs

I found another option for my senior quote.

"You wouldn't believe it. It's like a wonderful nightmare." - Ernest Hemingway

7/05/2006

 

"To hell with you, Brett Ashley."

I like fiction for the stories, not for the symbolism and representations of the author's views on society.

Someone tell me that Hemingway has written better books than The Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises. They are dull and the characters annoy me. And in The Sun Also Rises they constantly drink but no one seems to get sick or even ever have to go to the bathroom. Why does great literature never mention basic bodily functions? I can't relate to characters who are SPONGES.

7/04/2006

 

"If Florida takes us, we're takin' everyone down with us."

Today on Overhaulin' they fixed up this neat van. I want a 70's van. I'd make it rule. But they're horrible on gas and I don't really want to resort to renting out my van for gas money.


I want to see fireworks.

I can't sleep yet.
