I think that's a bunch of hullabaloo. Bullhonkey. Bologna, if you will. I do, however, believe that on a first date you can tell if there is a spark or not. The said "spark" can come in many forms. It would possibly be a moment of eye contact, simple common interests and intellectual ideals, or it could be an animal like need to climb on each other while ripping your clothes off. The last one is obviously the most fun. Is it fair mold your outlook of a possible relationship based on a lack of "sparks"? <br /><br /><br />After a rather unsucessful date, I began to think about my additude regarding this topic. Let's just put the situation I was in out there to air dry. Mr. X (which will be his name from now on) is a great guy. He really is. X is one of those men that makes a great boyfriend for someone who needs a lot of attention. I am not that girl. I don't like being fawned over and mussied with. It weirds me out. <br /><br /><br />I guess I just need to keep on looking.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-8587710845497883282009-04-03T16:03:00.002-04:002009-04-03T16:27:42.666-04:00Red Light SpecialI have died my hair every color under the sun.

This spring also brings new realizations and goals for Miss Jenny. The idea of not smoking is becoming more and more appealing along with attempting to eat a little healthier. I realize that I am not in the best shape and I think my lack of quality sleep is proving this. Also the fact that I keep getting sick is a bit of a red flag. <br /> After recently being pushed aside by two people in my life, I have decided to do exactly what I want, when I want to and how I want to. I can't handle being the doormat anymore and I won't allow it. I'm a grown ass woman with her own priorities and if someone else can't handle that, then so be it. I will bring them a big glass of shut the hell up with a punch to the nuts on the side. - Sorry, I'm a little bitter, but it's fading. <br /><br /> I WILL go ahead and start working on my company. They told me to focus on a realistic goal, but to me this is realistic. People run their own businesses all of the time. I DID at one point and while it is no longer in business, that was by choice. I needed to refocus on what was important and that needed to be put on the back burner. It is, however, back up front. A little switcharoo and it's in the spotlight of my mind now.<br /><br />Enough with that though.<br /><br /><br />I do have a domain name now, but I have to fiddle with the site.<br />www.buttonattire.com<br /><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.smokefreequitmeter.com"><br /><img border="0" src="http://www.smokefreequitmeter.com/36423.png" /><br /></a>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-82200888084515438962008-12-26T21:56:00.000-05:002008-12-26T22:13:24.907-05:00Musica.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXUzuk_wd0k&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXUzuk_wd0k&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PzSpynvL9N0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PzSpynvL9N0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-37358822048043401912008-12-14T21:36:00.002-05:002008-12-14T22:47:25.038-05:00Pretty Pretty Things.<div style="text-align: center;">Lately there has been less and less time to simply look at pretty things. Just gaze and let the creativity/simplicity sink in. I got out of work tonight after a busy day feeling drained of any real appreciation of anything. I took off my coat, made myself some dinner and decided to change that. So I've spent the evening noshing on good stuff (healthy yes! Operation Jenn is doing well...15 lbs down...) and brewing ideas for my own creative prospects. The thing is, there are so many ways you can use your talents to help others around, but it's just a matter of figuring out how to put it into motion.<br /><br />In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite things. Not all of them are necessities by any stretch of the word, but it doesn't mean I can't look, right?<br /><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/champagnesorbetfinal.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 286px;" src="http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/champagnesorbetfinal.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> Caroline Swift's Campaign Sorbet via <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/">Design*Sponge</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/il_fullxfull46609931.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 384px;" src="http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/il_fullxfull46609931.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /> Tiny terrarium from John and Stacie on their <a href="http://www.johnnyandstacie.com/">blog. </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/63/225383542_066448c74b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 348px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/63/225383542_066448c74b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/champagnesorbetfinal.jpg"><br />----------------<br />Now playing: </a><a href="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/jolie_holland/track/mexican_blue" title="'Jolie Holland - Mexican Blue' - open on FoxyTunes Planet">Jolie Holland - Mexican Blue</a><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic;font-size:10;" >via <a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" href="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/" title="FoxyTunes - Web of music at your fingertips">FoxyTunes</a></span>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-570024880617030822008-12-13T22:08:00.001-05:002008-12-13T22:10:03.913-05:00Look What You've Done To Me"I'm floating with the birds<br />I'm talking to the weeds<br />Look what you've done to me<br /><br />I'm still dressed up from the night before<br />Silken hose and an old Parisian coat<br />And I feel like a queen at the bus stop on the street<br />Look what you've done to me<br /><br />It's a beautiful morning in the ghetto<br />Finer than the day before<br />The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say<br />They know where the honey is<br /><br />There's really old roses blooming in the ghetto<br />Birds of paradise are taller than me<br />The weeds grow high, the birds flicker by<br />Children are walking to school<br /><br />In the midst of all of this profusion<br />The bus pulls up to take me back home<br />The bus driver looks like an African prince<br />The babies have tears in their eyes<br /><br />And I feel like a queen<br />On this sunny city bus<br />Look what you've done to me"<br /><br />Jolie Holland - "Crush In The Ghetto"Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-52104842892070982162008-11-08T23:27:00.004-05:002008-11-08T23:38:19.568-05:00Aim Once, Shoot Twice.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyT11clPpPNYoPN9tCbRWpuKnpbAylWLqALqw-l19hL3WzN2Ba5M6-OponGSBfE_6Y3G-vF2MmUnD8RH7ngPEqRRjkO0uk9DOhZzLSA4UYfzXsdAHzcMGvEvPA_sDxeoZZyXi6D__QP7Pa/s1600-h/011.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyT11clPpPNYoPN9tCbRWpuKnpbAylWLqALqw-l19hL3WzN2Ba5M6-OponGSBfE_6Y3G-vF2MmUnD8RH7ngPEqRRjkO0uk9DOhZzLSA4UYfzXsdAHzcMGvEvPA_sDxeoZZyXi6D__QP7Pa/s400/011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266512227103474162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuibjr7sNKgaRlGVx5wepK205yVP_ZgqvS8z0h0CVVpOBBP0blLI-uHMzHHGBnAZW1ETx9m1ryQ0vUGKrTMQjHAB8yTZhFra1GcFCCQ7BTqCblFlIphYbPRBm_fUCI3mGX8PHRPXuzmaM/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuibjr7sNKgaRlGVx5wepK205yVP_ZgqvS8z0h0CVVpOBBP0blLI-uHMzHHGBnAZW1ETx9m1ryQ0vUGKrTMQjHAB8yTZhFra1GcFCCQ7BTqCblFlIphYbPRBm_fUCI3mGX8PHRPXuzmaM/s400/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266510710388069858" border="0" /></a><br />I have been doing some loom knitting and tonight I finished another hat.

I could barely contain my excitement and I spent much of the even on our porch, listening to the crowds next door celebrating. I could have gone to the election party, but I really felt like spending the evening alone with the news. A lot has changed these past two years and much of that has been caused by our government's policies, both international and domestic. We need someone we can believe in and find an aura of strength to help our country through these times.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As today is my day off, I have begun my holiday crafts. I'm crafting all of my gifts this year (well most of them) and I started with my niece, Sandie.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Te1ELr4DW4ZqHGHp0YoDsXHh_JUcjaQqj6taeTQt199zQ5kkXVHfmQbAbJ09Wn0dLEmy7WpiDkolQ3x2HiIcs1VJMlTDBKcxQeNzlNYh6MX7gFAmSHOoKwBXf5Tm_lrlR-HA5Q3ly-wX/s1600-h/christmas+001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Te1ELr4DW4ZqHGHp0YoDsXHh_JUcjaQqj6taeTQt199zQ5kkXVHfmQbAbJ09Wn0dLEmy7WpiDkolQ3x2HiIcs1VJMlTDBKcxQeNzlNYh6MX7gFAmSHOoKwBXf5Tm_lrlR-HA5Q3ly-wX/s400/christmas+001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265261391335788098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36M3ev5sgd57YXQ_e2l-Zf-hP3ibBs0C0ooSgytZCPnus7z40myg38pnBq4USdJNWDWA6BLXDk6YfjZd7Pv1SFDIAuiOa6vfHOGK1nwkeZksKbp_nHwvwg9g7mqQ1YdGS2SkmpiS3HfIu/s1600-h/christmas+004.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36M3ev5sgd57YXQ_e2l-Zf-hP3ibBs0C0ooSgytZCPnus7z40myg38pnBq4USdJNWDWA6BLXDk6YfjZd7Pv1SFDIAuiOa6vfHOGK1nwkeZksKbp_nHwvwg9g7mqQ1YdGS2SkmpiS3HfIu/s400/christmas+004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265261168664095474" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0B02EHW6qwelYXh_fUKwFEK2AO_6GFTEgLBnGdYNobRugb5YBSRV4_ThoPErJMTfTx4cA1vh35fgUl8zsf-wP2LnYHZN11yRpD7UwysttlDtcA3eolv8WQogGsoIorpu6TB8lRweT9GFV/s1600-h/christmas+030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0B02EHW6qwelYXh_fUKwFEK2AO_6GFTEgLBnGdYNobRugb5YBSRV4_ThoPErJMTfTx4cA1vh35fgUl8zsf-wP2LnYHZN11yRpD7UwysttlDtcA3eolv8WQogGsoIorpu6TB8lRweT9GFV/s400/christmas+030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265261603694273666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Have a good afternoon!

My iPod took a nosedive when I saw the infamous sad faced icon with a warning symbol. Deciding to stray away from Apple this time, I picked out a rather inexpensive Phillips 4 G mp3 player. I figure that since I had my iPod for a good 3 years, this one would last for a while.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i38.tinypic.com/2unx5hz.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 512px; height: 239px;" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2unx5hz.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />It's pretty nifty and does the trick for what I want it for. I don't like a lot of crazy doodads simply because I usually forget to use them. I would much rather have simple mechanics and than bells and whistles.<br /><br /><br />Well with a new player, I decided to look into some new music.<br /><br />One band that really seems to fit well in my life spectrum at the moment is Old Crow Medicine Show.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.nettwerk.com/images/artists/photos/OldCrMeSh19.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 598px;" src="http://www.nettwerk.com/images/artists/photos/OldCrMeSh19.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A bluegrass group hailing from Nashville, these guys have really blown me away.

Well, not a completely new meaning, that's a little dramatic. BUT I am allowing myself to let loose more often.<br /><br />So what if everything isn't exactly how I want it? Big deal. I am sure I will survive. Now is the time to think of what is going on around us and how much of an impact we all can make.<br /><br />This was passed onto me by a close friend and I can't get over it.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TW-6DpC-mj8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TW-6DpC-mj8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-10542048945824890332008-09-26T15:27:00.002-04:002008-09-26T16:11:22.925-04:00Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);font-family:georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif;font-size:180%;" >"The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions."<br /> ~Ellen Glasgow<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sometimes you just have to step back and take a look at the direction you're facing.</span></span></span><br /></span>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-69368603426285196292008-09-18T02:19:00.002-04:002008-09-18T02:21:47.966-04:00Sleep, you bitch.<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">WHY IS THE CRAZY MOON LANGUAGE GIRL SINGING AT 2:20 AM?

The only reason I qualified for it then was because I was under 21 and in college. You automatically qualify if you are going to college full time, which I was at that point. I wouldn't have even known about this if I hadn't had Toxic Shock Syndrome, so I guess something good came of the situation. WELL, now since I've had TSS and my other surgery I don't qualify for insurance through most private companies. I also don't qualify for state or federal insurance because A) I'm not pregnant. B) I don't already have children. C) I have a job.<br /><br />So because I'm becoming independant and taking responsibilty for my body and actions, I don't matter in the eyes of the government and insurance companies.<br /><br /><br />Funny, huh?Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-62503190835491765772008-08-27T13:52:00.000-04:002008-08-27T14:23:40.378-04:00Crochet Along!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q_Y21l2Soqc/SLWbe7rsSPI/AAAAAAAAACU/NuE_YImsWwE/s1600-h/sushipod1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q_Y21l2Soqc/SLWbe7rsSPI/AAAAAAAAACU/NuE_YImsWwE/s320/sushipod1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239264697234770162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q_Y21l2Soqc/SLWbXj4GEVI/AAAAAAAAACM/tTe0FJ4yH80/s1600-h/20124ada.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q_Y21l2Soqc/SLWbXj4GEVI/AAAAAAAAACM/tTe0FJ4yH80/s320/20124ada.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239264570585256274" /></a><br />I have embarked on my first crochet-a-long...which should be a fun little project.

Last year I started way too late (early December) and I realized that I didn't have enough time to do everything with the quality I had origionaly wanted. SO this year I decided to start ridiculously early, but at least I'll have time to re-do, revise and add to the list just in case I forget anyone. Plus it will give me something to do when I'm not job searching or hanging out with my new roomie and her kitten.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-74077290587388393362008-07-28T13:57:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:15:18.807-04:00Apenas otro día en mi vida....I'm packing up again, for what feels like the millionth time.

Tague identified him as Robert Arnold Johnson, 73, of Roosevelt Park.<br /><br />Johnson was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Muskegon County District Court on charges of first-degree premeditated murder and using a firearm during the commission of a felony, the prosecutor said.<br /><br />A conviction on the murder count carries a mandatory life prison sentence with no possibility of parole.<br /><br />Tague said Johnson plotted to kill VanderStelt, took a .22-caliber semiautomatic handgun to the real estate agent’s office, got him preoccupied with some paperwork in a conference room, stood next to him, pulled out the gun and shot him once in the temple.<br /><br />“We believe this was a planned-out execution-style murder of the real estate agent,” the prosecutor said.<br /><br />Tague told WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids that Johnson believed that VanderStelt took advantage of him in a real estate deal. Johnson bought a house through him in 2005, then recently decided to sell it and went to a different real estate agent. The second agent told Johnson that, because of the slumping housing market, the home was not worth what he had paid for it.<br /><br />The shooting happened around 8:45 a.m. at Nexes Realty Inc. in Roosevelt Park, a city of about 3,900 people just south of Muskegon.<br /><br />Police Chief Bill Wiebenga said the suspected gunman was talking with VanderStelt in the conference room when an employee heard a popping sound.<br /><br />Johnson left the building and drove directly to the Norton Shores home of his former son-in-law, whom he handed the gun. The ex-son-in-law then dialed 911, Tague said.<br /><br />Police arrested Johnson and took him to the Muskegon County Jail, where he was being held without bond until his arraignment hearing. There was no answer to telephone calls made to his home, seeking comment.<br /><br />Tague said he did not know whether Johnson had retained a lawyer.<br /><br />About a dozen people were in the real estate office at the time of the shooting but no one else was injured or threatened by the gunman, Wiebenga said.<br /><br />The last slaying in Roosevelt Park was in April 1988, when a 90-year-old man and his 87-year-old wife were stabbed to death in their apartment, The Muskegon Chronicle reported on its Web site. The man convicted of murdering them died in prison in 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></div></span>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-54901154881929799922008-06-27T15:34:00.000-04:002008-06-27T16:08:36.478-04:00I AM IN L-O-V-E<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U4u0gYqbTIU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U4u0gYqbTIU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-15846891230023652622008-06-19T14:01:00.000-04:002008-06-19T14:02:30.239-04:00A Response<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "> I received some not so pleasant emails from someone who found my Cozies For A Cause website. It could have been through Bust Magazine's link pages or Planned Parenthood...I don't know or care. But here was my response.<br /><br /><br />" Yo, I understand completely that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's just peachy keen, but I have a right to my own as well...so either don't look at the website and do your own thing, or shut your pie hole. Maybe in your opinion I am a "sinner" and I will burn in the "deep, dark depths of the Devil's underground" (your words, not mine)...but I'll take my chances. Maybe damnation isn't so bad. Hell (no pun intended), start an abstinence program...do something productive with your passion for the lack of booty action. That's cool in my book and I'll donate.

American Beauty - Great movie, but try explaining that to a confused mother.</div><div>2. Magnolia - Strange. Frogs?</div><div>3. Something About Mary - "OH MY GOD.

At $5 bucks a pop, I am hand sewing and making felt condom "cozies" and all the proceedsare going to the two organizations. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>http://cozies4acause.bravehost.com</div><div><br /></div><div>Check 'er out.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Me</div>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-80517739971658375952008-05-04T13:21:00.000-04:002008-05-04T13:27:08.449-04:00Why The Fuck Are There Gnats In the Library?Seriousely. Either way, I'm living in Traverse City offically for the summer, which is pretty alright in my book. I'll admit, I'm a sap and I miss <em>mi familia, </em>but I'll get over it.<br /><br />I'll be updating when I feel like dragging my ass to the library, so don't be a d-bag.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16553640217516764261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803743152673176433.post-48128559629891714212008-04-29T17:50:00.000-04:002008-04-29T17:58:56.477-04:00Here I Go Again On My Own...Only not really. I'm actually going to be with lots of people I suppose. Either way, I can't help but feel sad about heading up north. It's a weird feeling. Blarg.<br /><br />So I was listening to some Rilo Kiley this afternoon, it seemed like a Jenny Lewis sort of day. Man, I would do all sorts of nasty things to that gal. Well not really. I would mostly just lick her face. It's so damn cute, I can't help myself. I also decided that it would be an Eisley evening. <br /><br /><em><strong>"Do you remember how it was whenwe were fascinators?"</strong></em><br /> "Vintage People" - Eisley<br /><br />Perfection.
