Don't be shy!
I turned to Jamie in sudden panic. "I can't marry you! I don't even know your last name!"
He looked down at me and cocked a ruddy eyebrow. "Oh. It's Fraser. James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser."

Jun. 10th, 2005 @ 03:33 pm Now that Diploma is in hand
I feel kinda: content
Singing along to: Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight Goodnight

So I haven't all out started bawling yet over high school.  I'm sorry guys, I'm a crier.  I cried my little heart out in The Notebook, Phantom of the Opera, Matrix, and Star Wars III (plus several others).  Grad Party was pretty fun, I got some cool free stuff, and that's the best kind of stuff.

I figure that you all know I love you and I'm gonna miss everyone terribly next year at Gonzaga.  Everyone I've met has given my great memories and I shall cherish them all.  There were great times in class, out of class, in passing time.  You all are fabulous!

Now to the point!  Pictures of the best time, even thought CHS administration ruined it, they suck balls and we hate them! We can say that now, we've graduated.

( OPERATION REAL ESTATE )

I think we did like 28 signs in the lawn at school, took about 8 minutes to put them all up with the 4 of us, so it probably took the administration about that long to take them all down before school started.

( boring crap )

( Spanish )

This Summer needs to be full of awesomely fun good times.  So I'm thinking weekend trips to the beach, going camping (no parents), Seattle, and other places that are cool.  There's a lot of cool things in like Central Oregon, but I dont know if what I think are interesting (lava caves, mountains, lakes and the such) other people don't.  My parents were always taking Nick and I hiking and skiing and camping, even before we could walk.  So I think the outdoors is pretty and I like to go to it.  I remember I quit Girl Scouts cause it was boring b/c we never went camping or did anything outside - ever!  Lame.  Ok and what the hell is Megan Reichel's problem?  She likes camping but doesnt want to go with us because when she goes with her parents they do all the work.  First off, there isn't a lot of work anyway.  Second, I'm the type of person to just do it and not ask for help.  Third, going with friends is so much more fun than with parents.  I think we should do something before the 4th of July - either camping or beach, or camping on the beach.

Summer goal: meet hot boys!

May. 30th, 2005 @ 12:50 am Its do or die!
I feel kinda: anxious
Singing along to: Pimp my Ride on MTV
So I've still got like half an hour left before I have to leave to pick up the girls (yes I am picking them up at 1:40am). Then we are meeting the boys at 2. It is not easy to Mastermind a prank, Angela and I have had some stressing over this, especially since we are trying to get it done in such a crunched time frame. Buet hey, we only have 5 days left of school so if something's gonna happen, it needs to happen now. We wanted to delegate the recruiting, but Angela had to do it. I was like Sidious and she was like Vader, or I was Ocean and she was Rusty. We switch between Star Wars and Ocean's 11/12 references.

For the first time in I dont know how long the Seniors lost Powder Puff. It was also the first time that the refs were siding with the Juniors, instead of the Seniors, like they do every year. Guess why? Wullbrandt. Yep, he was there. When Holly got a touchdown he called it, then took it away for reasons no one knows, except the voices in his head, I guess. I played denfensive lineman every play where we were defense. The Juniors would have up to three girls trying to tackle me at one time, so yesterday morning I woke up and I could barely bend my arm, like it hurts so bad to reach back and unhook my bra. My ankel swelled up for a while and it hurst to walk on it, so I put an ace bandage on it, cause that fixed everything. That bruise on my knee from pactice has gotten bigger and grosser. So yeah, Powder Puff is not "flag football." It was a lot of fun though, would have been more fun if we won, or more fun if Wullbrandt wasnt there. Pussy.

Mom and I went shopping for my Graduation present on Saturday. We went to Tiffany's. Can you believe it? I felt just like Audrey Hepburn, especially since we skipped past all the gold and diamonds to the silver. I picked out a silver heart necklace, with a silver chain and we're getting it engraved with my initials and the year. I like to think that someday when I'm dead, one of my decendents will wear it on her Graduation. I saw the receipt ($163 with engraving). On the way out we looked at the diamonds and such and yeah they are like $3000, so I got my own version of the 'silver dialing wand.' There was this goon man who wore this Men in Black suit and had an earpiece and he just stood in this archway and looked intimidating, it worked. When I get it, it comes in the Tiffany's box and I'm most defidentially keeping the box.

So I'm just kinda LJing for the sake of LJing. Am I doing well? Hope so.

I left this note for my Mom in my bed, in case she goes in my room and realizes that the bump under the covers is a pillow and Shrek. I told her that yes I did sneak out and that I'm not doing anything stupid, so she shouldn't worry. I eneded with the ole "I love you. Love, Jess" cause Mom will like that. I wrote Mom and Dad a note when I had the speeding ticket and they liked it and I wasnt in trouble. I am especially not in trouble now that my ticket was dismissed. Yay for loopholes!

I've been making this slideshow of pictures of me from when I was a baby to now for my parents and I've been adding music and I need a final song. The first two I have work really well and I love them, but I have changed the third one like seven times, so if anyone has a suggestion, let me know.

EDIT: 4am. Best prank ever!
1. Sweet talked a cop
2. Did all 4 areas with just us three girls in the same amount of time that would have been given to 3-4 teams
3. Have a shit load of For Sale signs
4. Pretty sure Mom has no idea I snuck out

I feel kinda: blank
Singing along to: Kelly Clarkson
I went to Summer Camp for one week of each Summer for seven years, except once I stayed two weeks. When I was in teen camp, there was a Banquet on Thursday where you got to sit with boys, scandelous! Well, my first Summer as a teen camper I had this little date and so did a lot of the girls in my Cabin. As we were getting ready for the Banquet, Tiffany gave us some advise. "When you're young, guys are going to come and go, and you're going to need your friends to stand by you, so its silly to fight over boys." I was 15 and I really took what she said to heart. That said, Nathan and Kirsten are officially a couple. I did nothing to stop them or help them. I won't say that I don't wish it was me and that I dont like Nathan. Thruth is I do like Nathan and I still do. But even at Prom I could see that Nathan liked Kirsten, yet I hoped that he would like me, as I liked him. But I doesn't. I am not mad at anybody. Kirsten came and told me after school and walked me home so we could talk about it. I don't want her to feel bad about liking Nathan and having Nathan like her back. I am glad that she didn't feel a need to lie to me about it or hide from me or anything. Nathan and I are friends, Kirsten and I are friends and that's the way it is.

I got a bloody nose during my math test today (I'm recovering from a terrible addiction, I need to stop putting coke in my rosary). And making out with my stepbrother while ruining peoples' lives.

So I am Marketing Student of the Year and thats pretty cool, even Thompson came over and told me that I deserved my award. Plaques are cool, I like them, I like when they have my name on them. If I like Powder Puff tonight then I might send someone else to go pick up Mom from the airport on Friday cause thats when the game is.

May. 19th, 2005 @ 12:38 am Fucking Star Wars, Fucking Yes!
I feel kinda: excited
12 hours to Star Wars! 12 hours to Star Wars!

Finally an LJ entry that's emo-free!

So today I've been getting ready for Star Wars, I made some white chocolate cranberry cookies, I got $10 from Dad for Star Wars breakfast but he thinks its for tickets. That money is an allownace advance so I will still be freaking poor for like the next month. Ya know makes me very, very, happy? Whem my cell phone rings and the caller ID says Andy Roddick. He's so cute! Well anyways he said he's call me again when he gets his car fixed and we'll hang out. I know, I know, "he's just not that into me" btu still, relationships have to start somewhere and he might be into me later, ya know? Dont kill me dreams! I went to the grocery store and I bought Frosted Flakes even though I dont like Frosted Flakes cause they came with a saber spoon. I'm anout 1/4 done with my transcription but I'm tired so I think I will go to bed now and stay up late tomorrow night working cause if I fall asleep during Star Wars, I wont be a happy camper. Math test moved from Friday to Tuesday so now I might actually study for it.

So glad the drama is trickling off, that was awful! Sorry to everyone I dragged into it. Now that its all over I dont really have much to talk about in LJ.

It's almost time to Graduate guys! Lets try to pass our classes before then, huh! Graduation = Grad Party = Presents, not that 18 year olds are selfish or anything, we just have needs and we deserve some swag after four years of hell.

May. 10th, 2005 @ 11:37 pm I'm not emo - I swear!
I feel kinda: sad
Singing along to: Elton John - Tiny Dancer
Before I was born, my grandfather (dad's dad) died. When I was 9 my Grandma (dad's mom) and my Popi (mom's dad). When I was 11, my Nana (Mom's mom) died. Out of four grandparents I only went to two funerals due to the time of my birth and my Mom's family living in Maine on the other side of the country. So thats the depressing back story. Today I got this e-mail from my Aunt Bobbi (Mom's younger sister) its a little poem that I would like to post here in the land of LJ. Aunt Bobbi got his poem from Nana when she graduated from high school as the youngest daughter and thought I should have it now as the youngest granddaughter at the time of my high school graduation.

If

If you can hear the whispering about you
And never yield to deal in whispers too,
If you can bravely smile when loved ones doubt you
And never doubt, in turn, what loved ones do.
If you can keep a sweet and gentle spirit
In spite of fame or fortune, rank or place,
And though you win your goal or only near it
Can win with poise or lose with equal grace.
If you can meet with Unbelief, believing
And hallow in your heart a simple creed,
If you can meet with Deception, undeceiving
And learn to look to God for all you need,
If you can be what girls should be to mothers,
Chums in joy and comrades in distress
And be unto others as you'd have the others
Be unto you...no more and yet no less.
If you can keep within your heart the power
To say that firm, unconquerable "no"
If you can brave a present shadowed hour
Rather than yield to build a future "woe",
If you can love yet not let loving master
But keep yourself within your own self's clasp
And not let dreaming lead you to disaster
Nor pities fascination lose your grasp,
If you can lock your heart on confidences
Nor ever needlessly in turn confide,
If you can put behind you all pretenses
Of mock humility or foolish pride,
If you can keep the simple homely virtue
Of walking right with God... then have no fear
That anything in all the world can hurt you
And...which is more...you'll be a woman dear.

This whole graduation thing is so hard at times. We all get nine tickets to graduation. Most people get to invite all their grandparents becuase of this. I dont even get to send my senior pictures to any of them. I have freaking 5 extra tickets to Graduation. For English we are doing these interview projects where we interview someone 20+ years older than us and then write a profile about them. I would have loved to do one of my Gradparents since I really dont know much about them and what they were like. All I know is Grandma was a libraian, my grandfather was in the military and golfed. Popi worked for the railroads and Nana - well, I really dont know about her, except she was born in Scotland and moved to Canada at age 7?ish?. Pretty lame. I know a lot of people lose their grandparents too, but not many have lost all of them, and all of them before I even finished elementary school. It's only now, at Graduation that I think so much about what I dont have and what I miss, the lack of birthday cards with $20 isnt that big of a deal. Mostly, I just go about my life and do whatever, but I can't help but dwell on this fact and I miss them. I want to show my grandparents all the things I've done and I want them to be proud of me. Oh God, I hope there's a heaven and somehow they know. I wonder if Nick went through this when he graduated.

Mom will be in LA on May 23 when I get my marketing student of the year award (I hear there is a plaque involved). Damn it, thats TWO things she has missed that are major things for me because of her job. Honestly thought, it doesnt bother me so much. I'm gonna make Dad tape Mrs. Wood's speech about my wonderfulness and make Mom watch it. She feels really bad so she wont bug me about the new outfit I insisted upon.

Graduation is hard. Its not that I want to stay in Clackamas forever or in high school. I just done know what its going to be like, everything will be so different. At the end of Summer I'll be in a new place, with all new poeople and everything will be different and it scares me shitless. People I've seen everyday for years and years I may never see again. I dont think I've wasted high school though. I mean there were good times and bad times but it was all part of the experience. I'm defidentially going to miss Ms. Troche's class, debating Sex and the City at lunch with Christy and Meagan, bathroom conferences with Angela and Chelsea during math to catch up on the lastest news, skipping school and getting away with it every time, DECA, and that one time in sophomore biology when I said "orgasm" instead of "organism." But I wont miss Ms. Fulton, those awkward years, walking to school like a dorkasaurus, the underclass girls, those horrible fashion decisions I made, campus security and everyone I didnt like. I think I've done some fun things in these four years and yeah I have some regrets and if I could live them again I'd change things. With everything said and done I think I came out of high school a good person, and my only goal was to surivive it and unless I get hit by a bus in the next few weeks, mission accomplished.

May. 8th, 2005 @ 07:03 pm If I liked coffee I wouldn't sleep
I feel kinda: dumber than dirt
Singing along to: The Eagles - Desperado
So last week and the week before that and for probably a few weeks before that I have been ignoring school and basically pretending homework doesnt exist. Now I want a time machine so I can go back and punch myself in the face so being so fucking stupid. It is now 7pm on Sunday night, I have a test in AP Bio tomorrow on everything we've learned this year. On Tuesday I have Part 1 of the math final, the "show me what you know" section. Wednesday is a unit test in AP Gov, I need the notes I missed Chelsea Walker. Thursday is the lovely part 2 on the Prob/Stat final, 50 questions of vocabulary. Oh and I have an English assignment due Tuesday. So I'm thinking I'll be up pretty late tonight and go to school looking like death (meaning no shower, no make-up, no pretty clothes {SHIT I NEED TO DO LAUNDRY!}, none of that whatnot) I'll sleep till 8:20, get up brush my teeth and go to school. Get home from school tomorrow and repeat the process.

I went to Woodburn with my Mom today and got a new dress to wear for to get my Marketing Student of the Year Award and to Graduation and to my Grad Party with my nutty family. My brilliant plan was to study Biology on the way to Woodburn because it is so fucking boring I fell asleep after the first section and there are lots of sections. Parents are cruel, cruel, people. For Mother's Day we went out to breakfast on Hawthorne and then we went to Music Millenium and what did they buy me? Freaking nothing! I tried to make a mental note of all the things to download when I got home. But much of it I can't remember and the rest cant be found. Oh well, I guess it isnt really Mom and Dad's job to keep me happy by buying me CDs whenever I want. Yeah if they did I would probably be a spoiled brat, now I feel bad and selfish. Fuck it, I've got studying to do...

EDIT: Math test is next week, hells yes! Wait I still have those other things to get done, I punch someone and that someone is me

May. 4th, 2005 @ 08:32 am Summer = Work = Sad = MONEY
I feel kinda: contemplative
Singing along to: Lone Star - What Might Have Been
So, ah, forget about that last [whiney] post, I have a quandary!

For this Summer should I work for HBA or at the factory?

HBA Pros:
-easy work
-two weeks off in the middle of Summer
-hot Kevin might be there
-outside
-drive golf carts
-walkie talkies
-free snacks

HBA Cons:
-gets hot out in the sun all day
-mean about breaks
-far away (gas prices = $$$$$)
-crazy hours (12 hour days and the such)
-never really know what you're supposed to be doing
-that one mean, scary boss

Factory Pros:
-good pay ($8.50/hr, versus $7.25/hr)
-regular breaks (they get checked by OSHA, so its all legal)
-Dad can get me the job easily
-hot boys work at the factory
-possibility of overtime = time and a half = MONEY MONEY MONEY
-weekends off
-close to home (Dad has the cool plan that I work the day shift so we go to work together and then I walk home - yes up that giant hill on Hubbard Road)
-dont have to deal with annoying old people
-Nathan would think I was cool, cause he thought Dad was cool from working at Warn

Facrory Cons:
-inside (what does the sun look like again?)
-work might be harder (Dad says I can do it no problema)
-have to work either 7am-3pm or 3pm-midnight Mon-Fri (I want like a noon-8)
-cant take time off
-strict working environment
-drug tests (not that I do drugs, but I dont particularly want to pee in a cup either)
-Overtime can start at 5am if I were dayshift

So should I spend my Summer parking cars, or on a winch assembly line?

May. 3rd, 2005 @ 05:01 pm In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Room!
I feel kinda: melancholy
Singing along to: Northwest News Channel 8 - the weather
Disney Land was so much fun, but I dont really feel like talking about it and I dont know why. Maybe if I was super cool I would post the super cool pictures I took while I was there, but I dont know how and I dont wanna learn. Michele Cumpston was top ten Internationally on her event and that made me happy. Mandi Clem was also top ten and that makes me want to vomit. This trip was nutty with people getting sick and hurt and the boys acting like there were in the first grade.

Highlight of trip: When Nathan (Andy Roddick) called me. When he called I was getting ice and when got back to the room Tori told me my phone rang while I was gone. I checked who called and it was Andy Roddick. I wondered if I should wait to call him back. "When the cute boy calls, you call him back!" was Tori's convincing arguement for an immediate response. Well we talked and he told me that he hung out with this other girl who likes him on Sunday and he asked me for another girl's phone number. I didnt have it, and if I did I would have given it to him. So he told me to call him when I got back, which I did. Except no one ever answers the effing phone at his house. And when I leave a message he doesnt get it anyway. I'll see him tomorrow night and I'll ask if his cell phone is working again so I can actually talk to him. Cause I think its stalkerish to call him at work just to say like 'whats up?' so I don't do that. So it seems that three girls, myself included, like Nathan. And I think he knows this, so I guess he can do what he wants and us girls will just have to try not to kill each other. I hope a boy doesnt come between any of us. But serisouly, when your friend took the boy to Prom and you went to Prom with a different boy, you do NOT give him your number! *girls are remaining nameless for thier protection

In Downtown Disney there was a restaurant called The Rainforest Cafe. All week I wanted to go there but I never got to because no one wanted to or one night some girls went when I had to be at a Voting Delegate thing (John is now the WRVP - I voted for Dimple). So on the way back I decided that someday I will go back to Anaheim and eat at the Rainforest Cafe with Andy Roddick. However, I now think that this plan will not happen, but it isnt really a plan if only I know about it.

I feel kinda: tired

The inevitable Prom post!

This is the part where I ramble on about crap no one but me cares about but I dont feel like it anyway so I'll just say a few things and I'll even number them so if you get bored you can get a refresher course on counting!

1. Nathan was the best Prom date ever! For these reasons: nice, fun, hot, polite, use of the word "sweetheart," dancing machine!
2. Nathan danced with like every random person there was
3. By the end I didnt care anymore, I danced my little heart out and I didnt mind the sweaty bodies touching my sweaty body, it was ll good!
4. Papa Hyden's has the best cake
5. I got to spend Prada soaked money
6. Nathan heard us talking about him and how he is a "sexy hunk of man" who smells nice and it like everything wonderful
7. Fat Albert was actually kind of cute, but its hard to judge a movie at 4am
8. Beware I'm going to enter into a rap phase. At this moment, 50 Cent is downloading on SoulSeek
9. Nathan has a really cool house, like right on the river and I want to go there and sit on his porch and make out
10. Nathan has a pink bathroom
11. Senior Prom was more fun than I expected and time went by so fast
12. Everyone looked super cute
13. When we got cake, Angela was rockin a little sweater
14. I borrowed pants from skinny little Marin, now I feel good about myself
15. Going to Starbucks with old Prom hair and sweats is really neat
16. I bet you stopped reading by now
17. Am I right?
18. Okay, I'll stop, but I COULD go on and on and on and on
19. One more thing!
20. My Audry Hepburn hair was the coolest ever and everyone was mad jelous
21. and we did the Showgirls hand thing at Prom
22. I swear I'm done now

Apr. 20th, 2005 @ 12:13 am Fucking Kangaroo!
I feel kinda: depressed
Singing along to: NRK

Amidst the Brandon/Prom drama-rama Chelsea decides it is the perfect opportunity to canoodle me into getting a My Space so I was like what the hell, why not. I'll probably never use but but whatever.  So she gave me an MSN peptalk and Christy calls me and gives me a pep talk on the phone, and yet I am a weenie!  It seems that in the current situation Brandon feels like shit, I wanna cry and eat ice-cream till I cant fit into my dress and its really all Brandon's Mom's fault.  Who make thier child create a list of accomplishments and then evalulates them before said child can come to Portland for one flipping weekend?  A crazy one. 

Then

( Tori ) got involved.
</font>

In true girl dome I included practically everyone, but not everyone knows everything.  It took an army of girls to make one phone call to a boy, maybe I'm just retarded.  I'm trying to call myself stupid anymore, but it isnt working too well.  What I need are shoes, pretty shoes, I had to pinky promis Dad I would wash my car tomorrow.  I hate washing my beast of a Car, its too freaking big.  I wanna switch cars with Dad, I like that little car. Plus, I like shifting, its uberty fun.

Next time you feel sad look at this.  Turn the volume up and make sure your Momma cant hear.  I dont know why I think that thing is like the funniest thing ever made by man kind.

If anyone out there has magical powers and can make a Prom Date out of a paper clip and a stick of gum I am willing to pay much for your services.  Wouldn't it be cool if I could go to Prom with Harry Potter.  He's hot.

EDIT: Gonzaga weekend was so much fun, and I am actually really excited to go there in the fall and to take philosophy of all things. The president of the university, Father Spitzer was actually an accounting major and he told us that because he took so many humanities classes in college he well, went for a different path. I dont think taking philosophy, theology, literature, and the such will make me want to be a nun or anything, but I will be able to take notes this time. So I have college and then Star Wars will be super fun so if Prom sucks to high heaven then I have some things to look forward to that I will hope dont suck as well.

I feel kinda: relieved
I passed my SSE presentation.

Time to stop flipping out already!

Despite the frowning I even exceeded in a few categories, "Personal Relevance" and "Rigor/Value" didn't in organization or delivery since I had too many words on my Power Point. Whatever, doesn't matter. I thought my Power Point was cute! Well I did learn Power Point from Mrs. Wood ans she aleays had her daily Power Point with random text boxes and colors. I just wanna be done with this, send out my Graduation Announcements and sit around waiting for the presents! I like presents, especially ones in the form of cash.

I got to actually make a desposit at the bank yesterday, havent done that in a while! Thank you State of Oregon Revenue Department for sending me my tax refund in a timely manner. Hey IRS! Where's my federal refund!? It was my money in the first place and you took it with out even asking and now you are so slow to give it back! Hurry it up!

I feel kinda: awake
Singing along to: The Printer
I don't think I'll updating as much anymore or writing really long entries, LJ is losing its fun-factor.

Last night I had a huge fight with Mom and I missed Sex and the City, Damn it all to hell! So I'm fighting with Mom and I decided I'll just go up to my room and ignore her. On the way up I hear her say a blatant lie to Dad so I turn around thinking, "that fucking bitch", only I said it out loud and my parents heard me, oops. After that I bunkered down in my room for a while and now Mom is in Roseburg for the rest of the week so whatever.

I have always held myself to a higher standard than my brother. But I found out that Nick started swearing to/at Mom and Dad when he was a Senior too. I guess pretty soon I'll be having sex in cars and coming home drunk and proud of it!

Lets see if I can count:
6 days to SSE presentations
10 days to Spokane
17 days to Prom
20 days to Disneyland
43 days to Star Wars
64 days to Graduation
?? days to Road Trip
?? days to working

Mar. 27th, 2005 @ 03:58 pm My Project?? CHECK! DONE!
I feel kinda: stoked
Singing along to: The Beatles - In My Life
TODAY I FINSIHED MY SSE PROJECT!

Yesterday Dad got Office 2003 so I could finally get my damned thing in the right format, thanks being sucky Word 97. I was so excited. I don't know how many trees I killed trying to figure out a way to be able to print my project. I printed, cut, glued, copy and pasted in Word and I just couldn't figure out anything. So I got the new software and I told the computer (technology is my friend now) to make a "book fold" and it did it and it worked! And I am happy.

Kinkos is not my friend. I wasted like $12 trying to print my covers on the nice paper and I made two in the $12, each one is supposed to be $.99 I kept printed blank pages or an extra blank pages would come out with it. All of it could have been avoided had I just went and asked what to do in the beginning instead of trying to figure it out on my own. Kinkos likes to trick into thinking that everything in simple and easy, but it is so fucking complicated. So I spent like over $25 on something I really only needed to spend like $13.50 on, since I made the executive decision that the inside pages can be black and white. That money could have gone to Jessica's DisneyLand Fund. Now I need to find one of those big staplers so I can staple the pages in and really call myself done with this. I know somewhere someone at school must have one, maybe the Counseling Office, they do a lot of stapling there, I'll check since I'm there like all the time. Oh and minor detail I need to present one to a bunch of Future Focus teachers and see if they want to use it in their classes next year, which they won't, since it is a fucking kid's project, not something like good or anything. Romo wanted me to ask the library to keep a copy in case anyone ever wanted to look at something like that. Umm, no, I'm not gonna go ask them to put my SSE in the library just cause my Advisor thinks it would be good or neat or whatever.

It is so pretty and I love it, I'm quite proud of me!

Next quarter I need to focus on school. No more skipping class, bad grades, no more slacking off, no more starting my homework at 10:30, staying up till 2, 3, or later finishing something. I will pay attention in class, I will do all the assignments on time, I will study for all tests, work hard on all papers, and do extra credit whenever I can. My grade in AP Gov needs to go from a C to an A, AP Bio from and C to a B, Prob/Stat from a D to a B (I got my first D this quarter). And all As, must stay that way.

I gave in and went to Easter Brunch. Mom woke me up this morning with "Jess! If you aren't ready to go in 20 minutes, you'll be ruining everything for everyone!" Meaning that if I didn't go to brunch Mom, Dad, and Nick couldn't go and they would never be able to recover from that. God couldn't she have woken me up with "Jess! If you aren't ready in one hour, you'll ruin everything for everyone!" So I couldn't shave my legs or even wash my hair.

Mar. 25th, 2005 @ 06:48 pm Day 3 On My Death Bed
I feel kinda: sick
Singing along to: The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
Today for family fun day Dad Nick and I went to the Avation Museum in McMinnville. I was so fucking bored but Nick and Dad loved it. Let me just say that this "museum" is the most unorganized place ever built. You can't just walk from airplane to airplane there is stuff scattered around and airplanes just stuffed whereever they could fit. I saw a cute boy there, but I was like, oh shit, I look like death, don't I? I tried my hardest not to complain, then they found the video games. So much for that. Next Dad thought it would be fun to drive over to Tillamook and visit the cheese factory. I slept for most the trip there. Dad bought me some cold medicince that did absolutely nothing. So we went there and had some samples of cheese and watched the people make it. I slept most of the way back to Portland from Tillamook. Oooh great I just sneezed on everything... thats awesome! I wish my eyes would stop watering for like a second! My goodness, it's just rediculous!

Spring Break has not been that fun, not at all. Oh well, at least this way I'm saving my secret Spring Break money, maybe I can show a little self control and save the rest until I go to Disneyland. Yes I think I will try my hardest and I should save all my allowances too. It'd be nice if I could get my tax refunds by then, but Dad says it takes like 6 weeks to get them.

I got a Financial Aid letter from Gonzaga. In addition to the $3000/a semester I am getting for merit I will also be recieving like another $2600/a semester because they think my parents need it. HA! Mom and Dad can pay for, they can for it all, they just don't want to. Mom informed the other day that she intendes to take 3 vacations during 2006, since she doesn't get to take a real vacation in 2005 (it's early I bet anything she will) so anyways Mom and Dad are planning to go to Scotland, Hawaii and some Tennis thing in Palm Springs. Okay if all of that is in the budget, why do they bitch and moan about the cost of college and refuse to buy me a new dress for Senior Prom? Sometimes I just want to take a large stick and smack some sense into my mother. She drives me completely nuts.

Mom has tricked Nick into being home all week So he can go to Easter Brunch with the Harris' on Sunday. I am not going. There is no way on God's green Earth I will spend one more brunch with those people. I am always miserable and I hate it. Mom has been pretty relentless on making me go against my will, but if I am not still sick, I'll fake it so I don't have to go. On Easter Brunch when I was about 9 or so, I sat under the table for about half an hour before anybody noticed.

That's enough LJ-ing for now, my head hurts!

Mar. 17th, 2005 @ 10:50 am Laughing is Good
I feel kinda: amused
Singing along to: "I feel good" by that one guy in my head

So other than finding out that bacteria can have sex, this is about the funniest thing I have seen/heard in a while.  When I read the bacteria thing last night I lauged for a good long time.

FYI - I slept for 45 minutes last night, so it might just be one of brink of total exhastion things.
