well. today has been just one fucked up day. and i do not think i can go to bed without writing it down so i find myself here at LJ. woot woot. i haven't been to this site in such a long time. but eh. i just feel i need to write it all down as time progressed today and to keep it as a record in my life. so. here it goes.

i was in computer class when the first call came. it was my mother. i answered and told her i would be out of class in 15 mins and i would call back. no less than a minute later my father called. i think that's when i realized something was wrong. when both parental units call within a minute of each other.

well. it turns out that columbine had had several bomb threats. the school had been evacuated. my sister is a sophomore there. dad had instructed me he was handling the situation and practically hung up on me. i thus waited until class got over to call him back. it wasn't until i called back of when the news had sunk into my brain to be processed. bomb threat. my sister. trouble. shit. scared. pray.

the worst case scenario that kept running through my head was that it was a diversion. that the evacuation to leawood elementary was a trick to have a double whammy of elementary and high school students killed. throughout the math quiz this was all i thought. i do not even know how i performed derivatives and other mathematical tasks.

finally my phone rings 30 mins into math class. i step outside into the hallway. it's my mother. she says dad has my sis and she is safe but really shook up. mom is relieved but i could hear the tears in her voice. i called dad to talk with my sis. he said she's ok and at home. i call my sister. and she tells me her story.

she says she was in the band room. the bell had rung for third period. her and two friends progress into the hallway. however, it is EMPTY. an empty hallway in a high school with 1800+ students. something was wrong. as her friends move down the hallway, they round a corner. they run into SWAT team guys and have guns directed at her face. she is rooted to the ground and they yell at them to put their hands up. they are then told to run out of the front doors and across the street to the park. as she tells me this i can hear the fear in her voice which is quiet and barely audible on my cell phone. she is crying as she tells the story and i begin to cry as well.

i just sit there in the hallway with tears rolling down my face telling her she is ok. everything is ok now. and she is safe. and i love her so very much. my little 15 year old sister. if i could, i would gladly have changed her spots. i wish it was me who experienced this traumatic event. not her. or if i could have been there at the high school with her. i would have gotten to her. i would have marched her out of the school to my car in clement park and driven away. far away. before guns were shoved in her face.

unfortunately i cannot change the past but i know i can be here for her now and comfort her in any way i can. she is better, but i hope to god she does not have nightmares tonight. she just very well might.

i did not leave the school. i should have. i should have come straight home and comforted her. stayed with her. fuck the school crap. fuck the econ exam. i couldn't even think for the rest of the day. i went to two more classes and spaced out. all of my thoughts were with my lil sis. i took an econ exam and probly did terrible because i could not think about what i was doing.

i finally got home. the relief of walking into the front door and knowing she was safe upstairs was almost overwhelming. i walked into the room and there she was tucked into bed looking all warm and innocent. except for the many used tissues all around her. i ran to her and i gave her the biggest and tightest hug i ever could. almost started crying again. i was so relieved. and just so happy to have her be here. i know for a fact i could never live without my sister. she is my bestest friend in the whole wide world. we watched tv. and even though she was the one who was trying to sleep, i was the one who zonked out and slept.

lesson: things could have been a lot worse.

later tonight, she also wrote a letter to the principal, deangelis. the one word she has repeated over and over to me and the parentals tonight is the word forgotten. apparently, assistant principals hand delivered notes and words to teachers to evacuate the building in fear of detonating a bomb with the use of the PA system. unforunately, my sis believes her class with the band students was forgotten and that is why she did not know of the situation. i do not know exactly what she is seeking with this letter, but maybe it is truth. maybe it will help her cope with the situation. i do not know. but if it will make her feel better, anything will be good.

so folkies...hug your loved ones. and when you do, give a longer, tighter hug. and say i love you. because things happen so fast. faster than the blink of an eye. and it can always be worse. so live life to the fullest, everyday.

so yeah...haven't updated on this again in such a long ass time! but here i am! yay! so how about an update on jenn's life?

right now...life is pretty damn swell! :D i'm definitely in love with the boyfriend, bob. :) he's so good to me! he invited me to dinner to meet his brothers, ben & jake, ben's wonderful gf kristi, and also alex's bro, neil. we had such a blast at the cheesecake factory! i was pretty shy and nervous at first...but then the stories started flying around the table and we were ALL laughing our asses off! everyone was so accepting of me...it feels so good! and a relief, too. :) bob and i sat there holding hands the whole time (even though everyone could see us), just being there with each other was heaven!!!

OOOOH! concert time!!!! went to see breaking benjamin! it was FUCKING SWEET KICK ASS! bob and i met up for dinner first at this wonderful place called las margaritas. great food! and i found out i actually like the green salsa! lol. my boycott of green salsa is OVER! yay! lol. and i also found out i do not like blue corn tortillas. LOL. i'm such a picky eater. :P oooh! after a marvelous dinner...we walked around and we couldn't find ogden street! it was hilarious! i had to pull bob back from the street TWICE so he wouldn't get his ass run over. silly man! but he certainly knows how to keep me laughing and smiling! :) then we met up with my other friends...cale, david, steve, and 2 random friends of david's from mines. it was awesomely awesome! they actually thought bob was 23 years old. teehee! unbeknownst to them... :P so bob and i just did our own thing for the whole night! we watched the first band off to the side where there was actually air circulation. too damn hot in that place. the band was on the borderline of kinda-ok to suckage! so we just talked and were chillaxin! FINALLY! BREAKING BENJAMIN CAME ON!!! OMG. the crowd went from "meh" to "OMFGWTFBBQ!?!" you could just FEEL the energy surging throughout the place. it was fucking A-MAZ-ING! i got into dancing and singing/screaming along with the band and the crowd! bob made use of my legs/sides and i was his drum pad all night! it was like getting a constant massage! REALLY NICE! teehee! it was seriously one of the BEST concerts i have EVER been to!!! and spending the entire night in the arms of the man i love and care about...PERFECT. ;)

a tad bit of sad news...my company fired this GREAT woman i work with...delane. she is the reason i (tried) to remain happy at work all day. she is so positive and ALWAYS has something positive to say! she knows a lot about life and is a great conversationalist! it makes me so sad nobody ever really talked to her. except me and a select few from the other side. i looked forward to seeing her smiling face every day i walk into the office! this wonderful woman is 57 years old and can't type very fast...but she worked as fast and as effeciently as she could! she tried so hard. she tried so hard to keep improving everyday. and they fired her. i hate corporate offices. there's a meeting on monday. they're thinking of outsourcing the scanning and possibly the indexing this company might do too. so whoop! there goes jenn's job! idk...we'll see. monday. 10 am. looking forward to it, yet dreading it.

but other than that...attended a business fair at my school! did TONS of networking!!! i found a company that i would LOVE to work for...an auditing agency for all the networking stations...HBO, comcast, discovery channel...the list is HUGE. the gal was so awesome and great! all the people i talked to! i just love talking business with people. :P and then in general...school is swell! can't wait for this semester to be over! just going through week by week. it's awesome!

just overall for the category of LIFE...my life is quite balanced and splendid! i'm soooo happy with bob. :D school is just smooth sailing. work is...tolerable. lol. so yes. a very nice and even balance in my life! yay!

i hope the rest of you are doing swell! and healthy! and yay! turkey day is coming!!! eat lots of turkey! oh, and remember to laugh, smile, and be happy now!

-LIVE LIFE!

ok. so a bit of advice for you folkies out there.

drive safely. do not get into accidents.

cuz yeah. got rear-ended less than an hour ago.

this was not a fun experience i ever wish to repeat.

it was just...whack. the car in the middle was me. guy behind me thought the light had turned green. nope, still red. but he gunned it. knocked out my back rear light and dented his front end.

but he shoved me into the gal in front of me. looks like my car cracked something under the gal's rear. GAH.

but he was nice about it. and took responsibility. the gal was nice and made sure i was ok...

i am ok. just really...shook up. my first accident. at least i didn't cause it. eh, that and my neck hurts a lil, like i pulled a muscle. which is probly all i did. i hope. luvs ya sissy. *hugs* i'm sorry about your neck and all. this was just...really scary. and it wasn't that bad of an accident. just lil bumps and bruises for our cars.

and right now, just thanking God that He is watching over me and the other two involved and it could have been a lot worse.

mkay...so how the fuck is it possible that i have the attention of two very wonderful gentlemen at the same time?!

my head is going in circles. literally. i'm at a loss.

one of the guys came back cuz he thought he made the wrong choice. we talk. i missed him a lot more than i ever thought i would. i feel like, the more we talk, the stronger our feelings are, which could be leading into false hope.

all because i need to make a decision.

candidate number two: we fell for each other pretty damn hard in such a short amount of time. we're practically dating. one issue i'm scared of: he is african american and unfortunately my parnets are prejudiced bastards. i don't see them getting over their prejudiceses. they do not adapt to change well. anyways...he is also leaving nov 21 for the air force. training for 6 weeks in texas. he would then be placed into a nuke facility and i wouldn't even know where he would be located. he serves for 8 years, 2 of which accumulate to time off.

i don't want to hurt either of them.

number one is soooo. man. it's amazing how well our minds click. we understand each other so explicitly. we think the exact same thing at the exact same time. we have all the same interests. but...is too much similarity a bad thing? could we like, be *too* similar that it would muck it all up?

number two is soooo good to me. he cares about me on a level i thought nobody ever could or would. he has a strong voice of reason. he's unlike anyone i have ever met before. we have *some* similarities but i don't want to change him. he's perfect. and how could a girl turn away from someone who calls you his "beautyful blue eyed angel"?

and the most fucked up part about this whole thing?

i haven't met either one of them yet.

and i now feel that i need to meet both of them to make a decision.

and they both are located in the springs.

i have been told by many many people i am much different in person than i am online.

so...there's my story and i'm sticking to it. i crashed at 3 am last night and i'm tired. but work is calling us...so i must depart.

anyone who doesn't know this story yet, got any advice for a girl stuck in the middle?

OK. a little bit of an update...

school is crazy and hectic. but maybe once i give it a few weeks, it will slow down. god, i hope so. on tuesdays and thursdays i am just so worn out from all the running around and shit. but maybe it will all work out. "just give it some time" god, what will i ever do without my dad?! he's the best person in my life. Lord, don't you dare take him away from me.

but yeah...ok. ummm. the month of september is approaching. it's uh, going to be uh...interesting. i don't want it to come. but it will be here shortly. and it really should go by fast, i hope. i need to call up robert and just be around him on the 20th. a wednesday. good. i might just take that day off of work.

ummm. lol. this makes me sound like i'm all depressed. i'm not really. i'm actually quite happy! just busy busy busy. music is such a passion and joy to my life. what would i do without it?! and i want a routine dammit...i like routines. they're good for me. LOL. oh, and things weren't exactly going to work out for garrett and i, but we're still good friends. so yayness! lol. i'm thinking i just need to sit back and relax again...good advice from kev that will stick with me for the rest of my life. it's only been a week to two weeks since some of my dearest friends moved to college. it's a lil sad to know that they aren't right down the street or across the neighborhood anymore. but metro is a new place for exploring and finding new friends. so it will all be well. :-D i just need to give it some time.

and some advice that seems to be sticking in my head A LOT lately: "It's not what you know, but who you know" - MY DAD! he rules and is the best in the world. :-D LOVES!

well, here's a lil survey that i promised to bob. so enjoy buster!

so yeah. wow. totally haven't been on this site in like 2.5 months! my bad...but while i'm here, might as well vent! wootness! good news or bad news first? let's start with bad...

i fucking HATE my new boss. he can go rot in hell for all i care. the inconsiderate mother fucker. i'm sorry asshole, but my education is more valuable to me than that worthless piece of shit job you provide me. we're all underpaid anyways. so go shove your finger and your "time off request forms" up your ass. thank you. and i've realized, it's a helluva lot easier dealing with women vs men. i actually miss jean, and i never really liked the woman! i'm wondering wut happened to the days when i actually ENJOYED going to my job. i would get out of school and go to my job happy and was just ecstatic to be there! oh well, those days are long gone and aren't coming back. but at least there are still good people i work with!

now for some positive news! i totally got lucky and met A GUY! *GASPS* lol. it's awesome. we both are attending metro. he's only 2 years older than i am and as a bonus, he works at blockbuster. :-P we're having some probs matching up our schedules, but we haven't given up yet. we see each other when we can and talk almost every night. :-) i am happy that i have found someone who likes me for me. and vice versa! hehe. :-D SO HAPPY!!! all for ya garrett!

now, the scary thing. the date is july 28. i'm really beginning to think of how much things are going to change here really fast. my friends and i are all pretty much going to all diff schools. vic's going to the navy in sept-support the troops! dan's going to boulder. kev to unc. austin to NY. david to mines, but he's living at home so he's still two blocks away! :-) cale, robert, & steve are coming to metro with me, so we'll see each other on campus sometimes. :-) and poor matt, he still has one more year to go at CHS. :-P i wonder who is going to change the most out of all of us. will there be any change? i know i'm going to miss kev the most, for he is my confidante. we tell each other everything. vic will be back around my birthday after boot camp, but who knows where he'll be going to after that. i hope he doesn't get shipped to Iraq. but my gut is telling me that's the most likely. but wherever he is, i'll support him in whatever he does. :-)

school is going to be...fun?! LOL. i'm already having fun with it. i LOVE my african history class that i'm taking. i have one final class on monday...and i'll be sad that it's over. my instructor, hadidja, is so amazing. she's originally from rwanda, has had polio since she was 2, and survived the genocide. she is writing a book about her dear country and it is amazing so far! i love learning about a continent with so much history that i haven't heard of before. two movies here that are worth noting. Walking in the steps of Nelson Mandela. this man was in jail for 30 years after violently taking an approach to getting the Africans of south africa to rebel against the white supremacists. so he's thrown in jail, almost dies, is placed in a house, learns the ways of non-violence, and emerges from jail 30 years later a free man of understanding. he understood that the white people were afraid of the blacks. he knew that if there wasn't any peace, there would be an eruption of violence and lives would be lost on both sides in the masses. he negotiates and is elected president and served for one term, the equivelant of like 4 or 5 years. it is so AMAZING that after 30 years of prison, he is not more bitter than before entering the prison. that is utter control and simple beauty. then there's lumumba. this guy was very violent and was blamed for all of the military killings of civilians in one of the african countries, which i will remember later. look it up if it interests you. the disgusting part: he was shot to death in the woods, then buried. then two men were sent to dig up his body and the other leaders who were executed and they were cut up and burned. the bodies were to disappear altogether so the people of that country would be completely washed of the blood of these terrible leaders. i do not agree with how lumumba ran the country, but the way he was killed is absolutely atrocious. not cool. but anyways! LOL. see, i really do love this class! the other students in this class are amazing. Jane is from kenya, minishiel is from ethiopia, miles is one of the most intelligent people i have EVER met. he knows all about illnesses, diseases, medicines. he's climbed mtns of extreme and traveled all over the world, which i am jealous of his extent of traveling. valerie is the 40ish year old woman who reminds me so much of my mother for her lack of knowledge and modern technology. we worked together on a case study of Liberia. she didn't know wut powerpoint was, so i put that together for us. but she makes me laugh at her lack of knowledge and her overall character.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In August I set neosheik's puppy on fire (-66 points). Last Sunday I helped kellywarrior hide a body (-173 points). Last Tuesday I gave notrealmemory a Dutch Oven (-10 points). Last Thursday I bought porn for trenidel (10 points). In January I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-247 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

well...i'm 18 now. hooray, i guess. but there's no change. i still can't stay out past midnight...oh wait, last night it was 10:50...so i guess that's improvement. i predicted that nothing would change once i turned 18. not a thing. not much more freedom than before. oh well.

i did get to hang out with the guys last friday and yesterday, which was friday as well. that was a lot of fun. the first friday we hung out, kev was with us too. i got him to get that night off for once in his life...he works too much. kev went to the chiropractor that day cuz his back was still fucked up after 2 weeks from the accident...so now the chiropractor is going to be knocking some of his vertebrae back into place. while we waited for kev to get done, vic and david were at my house. vic was here before david and we were burning cds when my dad came home. randomly, out of the clear blue, my dad just starts talking to vic...now, this has NEVER HAPPENED before with any of my friends. so, it kinda freaked me out. but before we knew it...the three of us were talking and even cussing freely. lol, even though my father hates it when i cuss in front of him when my friends are around cuz he thinks it makes him look like a bad parent...hehe. but my dad really just got into talking about everything, vic's career with the marines, our past businesses, current events, and sharing his stories. david called while we were talking and just said, i'm coming over. lol, i get up to answer the door and tell him we're downstairs just talking to my dad. the look on his face was pretty funny cuz he's never sat and talked with my dad either. like i said, not one of my friends has done that before. but it was really cool. i enjoyed talking to my dad and having someone else there as well. definitely different. and now vic and david have seen let's say...the sensitive side of my dad. :P finally kev showed up and we proceeded to our movie. we saw aeonflux over at amc 24 in the big nice comfy chairs vs crappy bowles crossing. aeonflux was strange and fucked up cuz we couldn't figure out the plot at all until more than halfway through the whole damn movie. and man, the directors and writers of the movie must've been smoking or something cuz who would've thought that coconuts could shoot darts?!? afterwards, we took dinner across the way at red robin. LOL. the last time i was there megan and i had left megan's number for the waiter cuz he was hot. (although i found out yesterday that he never called her). hehe. kev and i rode in the car while vic and david ran across the street and apparently vic almost got hit by a fucking car...stupid vic. LOOK BEFORE YOU CROSS THE DAMNED ROAD!!! but kev and i thought of ditching the two of them, but they really hadn't done anything to deserve it...so we didn't. but it would've been funny! vic burned me bad and i was going to throw the bowl of ice cream at him, but kev wouldn't let me. :( it was only 9 30 after dinner so dad let me stay out till 10 30 to play video games at kev's house. hehe. good old bond.

then last night...david got mad at me cuz i forgot to call him and tell him vic and i were getting good bbq food at rib city. although, before we found rib city, we had tried to eat at texas roadhouse where the wait was one hour and then chili's which was probly about the same. i don't like friday nights during the holidays. it seems to be the worst. everybody's out but they're also crazy and stressed and just blah. insane! so rib city was good while justin and david were over at el senor sol. lol, justin just lives at that place. and justin's always flippin hungry. and we finally got the communication down and met him and justin back at vic's. now, kill bill 2 is one very fucked up movie, but vic and i had fun throwing stuff at david and justin while they were sitting on the floor. LOL. and i got to stay out till 10 50. woohoo!

in news of other friends...steve and i are going to see a christmas carol tomorrow!!! i can't wait for that! and then dan and i have been on a roller coaster of emotions these past few weeks...maybe that's why i haven't been the usual me. meh. probly some of the reason why i've been weird lately. yeah. but i'm also lacking in the sleep department. so i'm going to work on that. :) finals are coming up so that just is going to make it worse. but oh well. can't avoid em! hehe. good luck to the rest of you on finals if you haven't had them already! and that's what i'm going to do now, study time!!!

oh man. 2 fucking days! hooray. i am definitely excited now! anyways...this is hilarious, especially the angry icons!

You Are An Ash Tree

You are vivacious and impulsive, which makes you extremely attractive to many. Intelligent and demanding, you don't care much for criticism. You have a ton of ambition and talent, and sometimes money rules your heart. You like to play with fate, and you can be very egotistical and restless. Demanding of attention, you need love and a lot of emotional support.
