Well Ella, I can't think of much else that would be interesting for you to know today, on your birthday!! but I can't wait to meet you and show you this blog one day! Mwah! I love you!

BIRTHDAY!

Sorry, I haven't blogged in over a week! sorry to have neglect you, oh lovely readers! That is, if you even exist... anyhow, this weekend was AHMAZING. I had a wonderful birthday!

Friday, I had the day off and around 6pm I made my way up to EL to start celebrating mi cumpliaños. We drank at jess' and hung out there for the night cuz all of the u-m peeps hogged the bars and I was not going to wait in line.

I didn't sleep until probably 4 and had to be up at 6:30 to start tailgating for the MSU vs UM game. I was feelin' pretty shitty, But I ate some breakfast, took some meds, and survived the tailgate. MSU WON!!!! 2 years in a row! YEAH Spartans! I love to see the look on the snotty, stuck up, UM students after they talk shit all day long... when they LOSE! awww poor babies! maybe you shouldn't be such asses and people might like you guys!

We took a few hours nap after that, ordered in some yummmmy P.F. Changs, and did my birthday cake! After that, the rest of the night was a shit show, obviously. needless to say we ended up at ricks. i spit at the feet of a cop... lol and then we went home screaming the lyrics to party in the USA and then drank more and went to sleep. I'm still recovering.

Thanks to Jess, Shannon, Randy, Nick, Amanda, Keniece, And Gyner for the BEST birthday! wooh!

nothing else to say really. I started reading Stephenie Meyer's new novel The Host I'm not sure how i feel about it... I'm only 40 pages in though so ya never know, I'm just hoping edward pops out of nowhere and starts suckin some buuullloooddddd!!!!

iPhone 3g

I wish I could display the crazy things my phone is doing! it switches to search, then to voice control, then to the camera, then back to search, and then I cant get it to go to the home screen! AHHH iphone sometimes you make me so mad. but I do love you dearly. everyone make sure to update your software today, we now have SMS! AMAZING! I was so annoyed before when I couldn't send pictures through text messaging. yay!

I'm working tonight, like every night of my life.... hopefully we will be busy! I'm going to request to be cut early though because I wanna go out tonight! what's everyone doing? What's going on? ideas, please!

My birthday is in 1 week!!! woohoooo! I'm kind of sad to be done with teenage years.... but I definitely think 20 will be a good age. Just one year closer to 21, which doesn't matter I guess because technically I'm 32. hahaha...

I need a vacation.....

okay I'm rambling... love you! xo

I'm very irritable right now. I don't know what it is but everything is pissing me off. I was just on the phone with my mom and she very nicely told me she wanted to let me go, but I know she could tell I am annoyed. What's wrong with me? I mean, I just want to shoot everyone! My brother just asked me for $100 so he can take a girl out... like... go get your own money please... when I don't have money I don't walk up to him and say, hey, give me a hundo and i'll pay you back when I get paid, NO, I just don't go out.. thats the price you pay!

I went to dinner with my friend today and wanted to shove a sock down her throat. SERIOUSLY do you honestly have nothing to talk about? other than HIM? The minute she sat down his name came out of her mouth and for 2 hours straight she talked on and on and on and on and on about him. HALF of the stuff she said was repeated stories I had already heard. I seriously wanted to pull my hair out. every time I said something, she had something to relate, about him. "oh I was up on the phone 'til like 3 last night", her reply: "Oh yeah he kept me at work 'til 5 once" yeah bitch you already told me that. I really don't mean to be a complete bitch about it but really she probably wonders why I don't call her that much anymore, cuz every time I see her there's one topic. Sorry, I like to go out and have fun and talk about things other than one guy, who is just gonna f her over anyways. bahh. sorry I just needed to vent.

Big Mac hasn't come home in 2 days. tomorrow I'm going house to house in my sub and looking for the thieves that stole him! :( that's the only explanation.

I obviously need a hug or something! haha. adios, amigos.

What would I do without Lori?

So my mother decided to go on a road trip with some of her lady friends, lol. she left us here alone for 10 DAYS! ten whole lonely days! no food, no laundry, no dishes... no MOM! I really under appreciate everything she does for us. If I'm hungry, she makes me food. If I'm sick, she takes care of me. if I half not one clean item of clothing, they're done within hours, and of course, we never run out of dishes. Oh mommy, I love you! COME HOME NOW IM STARVING.

I have a call-back tomorrow at 1. I'm really excited. The casting director said she LOVED me and wants to for sure use me on this show. Keep your fingers crossed! This would do wonders for my resume and also give me a reel to use for future auditions! yay!

On another note, I feel like a little kid again. You know when you are in Elementary/Middle school and there is always that one, hot, man teacher that you have a huge crush on? lol I'm going through a little bit of that right now. Its exciting... hard to focus when he's around!

Big mac is taking over the computer... night lovers. mmm, a big mac sounds delicious. I think i'll get some mcdonalds... I need to go on a diet.

Dedication

So I skipped out on an audition on saturday afternoon because I was exhausted and couldn't get out of bed. they rescheduled one for today... and again I missed because I've had a really long day... they just sent me another email saying that they are having another call in clarkston this sunday. How many chances do they give? If I don't show up for this one, will I get another message saying to come next thursday? lol anywho, I'm really hoping to get a part..

On another note. Disney called me back today! I have a call-back audition on Friday at 1pm! Wish me luck! :)

All else is pretty good. I'm exhausted. I had to be up at 7:30 this morning at the salon by 8. Just got home and am about take an hour power nap before heading to the fish market for the rest of the evening. Hope everyone else's day is just peachy!!

Toodles Chicken Noodles!

oh, boy!

Not much to post about tonight. I just got home from Baileys with some people from the fish market! I let them in on a little secret of mine, and I hope they won't go tellin' everyone (even though they probably will) We had a few beers and chit-chatted about random stuff it was cool, good time! Thanks for the beer Timmy!

I would like to point out something that makes me really mad. This is a topic I will probably touch on pretty often, seeing that I am a woman and all of us ladies obsess over this one. MEN. listen up boys, I need to get something straight with you. Too many times have I come across a guy that I can play the game with just as well, and we go back and fourth pretending that our "relationship" is nothing but a piece of cake, friends that hang out/hook up or whatever situation. I can not come to fathom why guys always need to be so indecisive and fickle. One minute, they want you, the next you're too clingy, when you give them their space, they wonder why you aren't calling. ENOUGh with the games people. I can definitely understand that at the beginning of any romance, is a love game, as my love lady gaga would call it. It all starts with a seductive, flirtatious, mysterious game or chase. But, I'm sorry, after a month or so, it gets irritating, and obviously, guys, you aren't that great at taking the bigger step and coming out and saying 'hey, I like you, this isn't just a game for me'. Well, most of you don't do it cuz, to you, it is just a game, but be straight up about it. If you aren't interested in more than just a piece of ass, TELL US. Most girls won't even get involved with you, some will try to change you, and some will be perfectly okay with it. Just let us know so that we know what we are getting ourselves into! it works much better in the long run and that way we wont be crying in 2 months wondering why you would rather go to the gym than see us! make sense? k cool.

my apologies, that kind of turned into a ramble/venting session. Good night everyone! I'll try and make a more interesting post tomorrow! 2 auditions and work at the salon and the fish market! don't know how I'm gonna get through the day, but I'll def. let you know how it goes!

LOVE you!

Kanye? WTF were you thinking?

He is an idiot for ruining Taylor's moment. There is simply no other way to put it or nothing else that needs to be said. I don't know what I would have done if that were me! Poor Taylor! But since Kanye apologized, lets leave it to alcohol for making you act out in inappropriate and disrespectful ways, hopefully kanye stays off the henny at the next awards ceremony!!

On another note, I give mad props to Beyonce for sharing her moment with Taylor in return. It was very sweet of her.

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze. :( Who's next? everyone is dying these days!

I'm Back!

After over a year and a half of absence from my blog, I decided I wanted to start posting again. hooray! I don't know how long this will last, mostly because I doubt anyone reads my blog and/or cares about what I have to say, but, none-the-less, I figure it is a good way to sort of keep a diary and vent or talk about what I'm feeling...

Still being the night owl that I am, I am thinking about what to post, or write about, and the only thing I keep thinking about is just how much has changed in the last 18 months.

• I had and broke up with a boyfriend whom I dated for a good 10 months. He moved to Miami for grad school and I still miss and think of him everyday.
• I moved into an apt. with my girlies for the 08-09 school year. It was insane and a LOT of partying
• hence, when the lease was up, I decided to take a semester off of school and move back in with my parents in Farmington Hills
• the film industry has come to MI and I am extremely excited to become a part of it. mark my words, i WILL be famous.
• I got a new kitty and a new pup! big mac is my scrumptious little muffin of a kitty cat and I love him dearly. Kita is my rascal of a puppy and she devours everything I own, but who can stay mad at the face of a pretty husky!
• I work at Mitchell's Fish Market
• I am almost 2 years older and much, much wiser.
• I have a twitter account. twitter.com/jennjade
• I have gotten back in touch with several old friends who I love and have missed!
• I assist at a salon for Chrystal Boji and I love working for her and learning about doing hair
• I have entirely different dreams and I have no idea where I'll be in the future, but I know what I want right now and I'm doing everything in my power to get it
• I'm still a night owl, but I can now wake up before noon without a problem! wahoo!
• I gained about 15 lbs. :(
• I chopped off all my hair and now it sits right above my collar bones.

I'm sure there is much more I forgot, but that seems to be the main things I remember changing. Aside from that, I am SO eager to start blogging again and have an odd urge to write. hopefully I can keep things interesting and have nice topics to blog about!

xoxo

Happy Valentines Day....

This whole week I have been dreading the single most loneliest day of the year; Valentines Day. Every female in this world wants nothing more than love and affection from the perfect man. To make you feel amazing, like you truly know you are deep inside. Well ladies, these men DO NOT exist, simply because while they have the same physical attribute of a brain- they don't think nearly as deeply and hard as we do. Surprisingly, they are entirely TOO simple, which is why we can not understand them- we make it so much more complicated than it really is.

I sat up with a friend of mine last night, yes, a boy-friend. When i mentioned V-day his exact words were "I don't believe in Valentines day, since when does giving a girl flowers or candy justify his feelings for her? Just being with her and spending time with her should be enough" and I have to admit, i agree. but why is it that we are in such need of acknowledgement from the opposite sex, we don't feel pretty or whole unless a man tells us how beautiful we are. How dumb are we? We should by no means wait for someone else to tell us how beautiful we are. My new years resolution this year was to lose ten pounds. which i still intend on doing, but i would like to change my main goal to finding fulfillment and happiness within myself, because that is the only way i will truly be complete. ponder this....

loves and hugs. i hope you have a valentine, and if you dont you should love yourself how you want *him* to love you.

So i have decided I am absolutely horrible at keeping up with blogs. I'm just to lazy and honestly, I'm not really that full of things to talk about... so here goes.

Yesterday I watched someone snort drugs up their nose for the first time in my entire life. I can't get myself to understand why or how this person got involved in such behavior but I never expected it. CRAZY. that shit is seriously just so dirty and nasty, and WHY would you want to snort things up your nose like thinking about it makes me want to sneeze and itch. ew. period

I am in need of a little trip. Spring Break is march 1-9 and seriously, I have heard enough raving excitement out of MSU students all hype for Acapulco. :-( cousins, AZ time? LA time? any place other than MI? PLEASE? lol I am going back to NYC after spring break for Shannon's 21st, but still, I need somewhere warm to remind me how much I love summer. And, I miss the ocean.

Tuesday, I got tickets to the Funny Or Die comedy tour hosted by Will Ferrell. HILARIOUS. I took Jeff for his birthday and a couple of my girlfriends joined us. it was seriously a blast. Nick Swardson is absolutely amazing at stand-up, he might even be as funny as Dane Cook. It was a great show- and here are some jokes I enjoyed..

"If you don't know the difference between a spoon and a ladle, YOU'RE FAT" -Demetri Martin

"Onion rings are like a team, until you take the first bite and the onion part is like 'fuck it I'm goin'"- Nick Swardson

(if you don't know, Nick Swardson was in the movie I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry he played Jessica Biel's gay brother.)

There were a million more but I'm drawing blanks! seriously, Youtube Nick Swardson OR go by his comedy CD called Party- number 1 comedy Cd in the nation!

COLLEGE

Today I started my classes for the spring semester. I am taking the following:

Japanese 2

Trig

Criminal Justice

Integrative Social Studies- Society & the mind

I changed my classes a million times but I finally think these are going to work out! I have ISS with Jess, and supposedly our professor is supposed to be the worst of the worst, but hopefully we can get through it. Japanese looks like its going to be tough... my four years is no longer going to help me ease through the class considering we are no longer allowed to speak in english unless asking... in Japanese. Trig sounds easy and I took calculus in h/s so... should be fine. anywho, I'm hoping to do a lot better this semester than I did last, and bring my gpa up!

Yesterday I saw PS I Love You. I cried like a baby and a group full of ten sorority girls were literally sobbing in front of us.. but really, it was so sad! to even imagine losing the love of your life at such a young age is mind boggling, I hope no one has to go through that. 

I also managed to fall asleep at 7pm today hoping to take a short nap, which turned into a 6 hour nap... and now I'm wondering if I am going to be able to fall back asleep.... probably not.

I have a billion errands to run tomorrow which hopefully I will be able to get some of them done, considering I have class until 7. This blog was kind of pointless, but oh well! Have a nice night, Y'alllll.

happy new year, i think?

So a new year is supposed to be time for a new start... it is January 6th, 2008, and i have managed to.

1. get a FLAT tire

2. end a relationship that I thought might be something good.

3. catch the flu

4. stay up until it actually reached daylight, no really, 8 am and i'm STILL not asleep.

So what is it that makes a new YEAR a good time for a new START? I might seem pessimistic, but honestly, does anything really change with a new year? do you really get a new start? because the way i see it, everything from 2007 just kind of dragged onto 2008... nothing new happened. the only new thing i have in my life is a set of bills due and a new schedule for the spring semester, which, mind you i am NOT looking forward to 9am classes.

I go back to MSU tomorrow... and besides the whole school part, I'm actually glad to be heading back. I miss the lovely miss Gina, my roomie, and now Jess is moving up which means my best friend in the WORLD will be there.. even though its something I have refused to admit, I hated living in east lansing last semester, it was horrible! mainly because of guys and positions i put myself in, but still! i didn't have my best friends there and now, well thats going to change :)

sidenote: Go see JUNO! it was seriously the best movie I have seen in a while, if you like dry humor, this one is for you!

Christmas Shopping

COMPLAINTS:

I have come to a conclusion. Why is it that [two days after Christmas] everything in the mall is now 30-50% off. I saw plenty of gifts that were given to me, or that I had watched other people buy, which are now half off! It makes no sense. From now on, I am going to tell everyone what I am getting them for christmas, and then follow through two days after, so I save half the money I was going to spend! seriously. 

Also, I would just like to point out that I absolutely despise stores that do not give cash refunds and have an exchange/store credit policy only. what am I going to do with $50 in an accessories store. C'mon, I could've saved $50 on a pair of ankle boots from Aldo. Honestly.

Shannon, My mother, and I played scrabble yesterday while we were waiting for Jessica to get ready to go out. I suck, but one thing that literally made me SO MAD was the fact that i had NO choice but to add TOR to the word REAL to make REALTOR, and I was saving it to wait for the S, which wouldve been put on the triple word score and i wouldve gotten like 21 points. so it was the only thing I could do, without the S so I put it down saying... PLEASE you guys don't put the s there, I'll be so upset i really need those points! (cuz i was losing)... and what does Shannon do? Stares at the bored for a second, and says "sorry jen" as she puts the S down on realtors and with one letter, triples my score of 7 gaining 21 points. WTF! I know it's just a game, but seriously, i was really upset! and Not to mention how many times Shannon tried making up words and I had to correct them, and instead of being a total bitch and telling her to take her tiles back because she lost her turn- i let her switch the word so it worked. In the end, Shannon beat my mother by 8 points and I lost. I told her, she won on false pretenses. I of course, Lost. This is a metaphor, ladies and gentlemen, when people take advantage of you, don't just stand by and let them win, be rude, obnoxious and out of control until the stop taking advantage of you! I didn't, and look, I lost.

anywho. good blog. I got to vent!

Hmm.

Its almost 4 am and like any regular night, I'm not sleeping yet. I'm actually watching one of my childhood favorite moves: The Secret Garden. GREAT movie. When i was younger all I wanted was my own secret garden. anyhow, thats beyond the point of this blog. 

I haven't gotten a chance to write considering I was in NYC last week! YAY! I went to visit my best friend Shannon. It was a blast, but I can tell you one thing, for someone who hates walking, I don't like the city all that much. It was still a great time, I got to meet all of shannon's friends and what-not. I have a few funny stories to share. first of all, I ended up getting the middle seat on the plane. Not the best time in the world, I went to sleep at 4am the night before (the usual) and had to be up at 8. I got on the plane and had a girl to my left and a man on my right. The girl was sniffling and sneezing uncontrollably, not to mention she popped a couple prescription drugs and then 3 or 4 Benedryl. I just kept glancing at her wondering WHAT was wrong with her.. like okay, am i going to get SARS or something? she looked at me after ordering gingerale and said "Don't worry, I'm not sick, I just have terrible allergies." i was polite and just giggled and nodded. HM, and now I'm wondering why I can't stop sneezing. of course.

story number 2: we went to the bar and as you can imagine, partied like we always do... and the bar doesnt close until 4am in New York. we drank and had a great time with all of her friends and yada yada. so anyways, we left the bar smelling wonderful goodness coming from the stands on the sides of the streets and were convinced: MCDONALDS. we went to hail a cab as some maybe... say... 40year-old? man asked if I wanted a bite of his shwarma. I said no and he just wouldnt leave me alone and offered to take us to the cafeteria.. here I am, drunk, saying "what cafeteria you idiot, we are in NYC" well, its a restaurant. so we still said no and Shannon is being Shannon and telling him "get us a cab, and pay for it" and he says no... until his friend who is sayyyy 24ish hails a freakin LIMO? who knew you could hail a limo in new york city. so we finally say screw it lets go and we get in with them and say we need to go to whatever streets by where we live, and where do they take us? the whole OTHER direction. we told the limo driver to turn around but he didnt? so okay they tell us theres this diner by their apt that we can eat at and we are saying okay okay no big deal... where do we end up? the lobby to their apt building!!! i looked at them in disgust saying, we arent hookers, sorry. and we left! haha mind you shannon told the cab driver who was taking us home that we only had ten dollars and he pretty much got us home in 2 seconds. great. long story short, those guys paid 80 bucks on jack shit... they could've baught like 2 hookers for that price! HA!

Story number 3: so we decided since shannon isnt allowed overnight visitors we would stay at her friend vanessa's place... who pays $3000/month for her apt. i told her id pay her like $125 for letting me stay there because, yes, that is a generous offer for her to let us crash at her place. well, Shannon's room-mate was moving out and left her ID card for us to use in the cafeteria just in case we needed something to eat and we figured, hell, why not use it so we dont have to go to Vanessa's every night? So it worked... well come day 3, Vanessa calls shannon up asking for her money and we are like "well, since we only stayed there one night for like 4 hours we will give you like $40" and she goes, "NO you have to give me the $125, I need that money!" and all this other stuff about how we promised her this money (psycho) so we refused and she threatened to get the school involved (meaning TELLING on us for sneaking me in!) so we go out that night like okay screw her w/e let her do what she wants, and what happens.. my very last night in NYC, we get CAUGHT! so we get kicked out of the dorm and shannon loses her visiting rights... wait, theres more. SO we figure okay I can get a hotel for the night, not too big of a deal.... what happens next? you have to be 21 years old to book a HOTEL! so we figure, okay we can just walk around until 8 in the morning in big ol' NYC in the middle of winter... long story short, we slept in Penn Station with the homeless people!! yeah... i know... and we did sudoku. even better right? 

well... thats NYC.. but i have written the longest blog in the history of writing... but anywho. its time for bed!

Nocturnal...

So, I have officially decided to join this blogging "thing". I figure it will be good for venting and reflecting on experiences. Plus I somehow always manage to find a lot of free time... so now I can blog when I'm bored! okay.
