Love

I'm not sure that my heart could ache any more!
The love is building up, and thinking about him makes my heart pound faster.
If only... If only, the woodpecker cried.

Real Friends

Today was a reflective process for me. On friendship, something I've struggled with as of late.
I have this friend that really likes this guy... who was one of the ones that cussed me out. I try to tell her about his character, and that she shouldn't really like him, but no. She won't listen. And when I told her what happened, she in turn told me that she thought it was rather funny. I found it all far from amusing. I want good friends that will stick up for me, not like pond scum.
Also, I get so sick of this one friend that won't date one of my other friends. I know it sounds rather pushy, but she puts him in literal agony. She leads him on, then when he starts getting serious, she crushes him into the earth...
Today I learned we'd have a new guy in our class! I couldn't believe that our clique of a class was actually going to have to expand its arms wider- for a guy! Whoa! We haven't had a new guy in a few years, so this will prove to be interesting.
Tomorrow is my "first step class" for new members at church. Just me, little sister, and the youth pastor. God help us all. I told my sister not say anything, or the membership would be whisked away... ha.
From the world of pond scum and new friends,
Good night.

Late. Bored. Past Week...

So I thought that since I was just so bored, I would take this time to blog.
To be perfectly honest, this past week has been very.. blah. I have a friend that won't let me tell her what I know is the right decision, as basically her best friend. I have a friend that can't decide if we're friends or not, and a friend that literally wants to beat me to a bloody pulp! What is this world coming to? Today, I was thinking about the song by Hawk Nelson: "Friend Like That." I'm so craving the right friendship to come along. To have that person, like in the song, that is "on the inside..."
School starts back very soon. More teenagers making their way through the crowded hallways of hormones and gossip. I'm actually kind of strung on a rope. I want to be back to see everybody (or do I?) but I really don't want to deal with all the drama of: "HEY! Did you hear that so and so likes so and so but so and so is already dating so and so..." Ugh.
I'm also very ready for chivalry to re-enter this destitute, pathetic world of men. I had a few guys (at CHURCH no less) cuss me out! I couldn't believe it! The days of door-opening and chair pulling-outing are apparently over! I want guy friends that are healthy, and actually nice.
I'm trying to pull the strings in my brain to find something good to tell everybody, so they don't feel depressed after reading this... but all I can think of is that the world is going to anti-semitics (thank you, Golden Compass), my schedule for the school year is bright pink and laminated (thank you Mom), and the guy I like likes someone else (thank you so and so.)
All For Now.

First Post

Hey everybody!
So this is my first post, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to use this blog for... a journal would be too personal, and my daily life is just so boring! : )
But for now, maybe I should just introduce myself. I'm Jenny. I'm an official Southerner... I live in suburbia, which is okay except for the monotonous vibe. Nothing scandalous has happened since the neighbors painted their house the color of an eggplant.
So far my life has been rather rocky... but that's normal considering the fact that I have a little sister... and parents. I have one of the most unique schooling experiences: a Classical Christian School. Yes, the uniforms are horrendous.
I am a Christian, and a member at a really great church. My life group teachers are amazing, except for the fact that one of them has a bad habit of randomly saying: "herkey toe touch." Cheerleading as a teenager has left its mark on her.
I'm one of those people most everybody gets along with. I'm nice to everybody, and meeting new people is just the most fun thing ever, except for the crushing awkwardness. Most people think I'm really crazy when they first meet me, probably because I shake their hand to begin with, but I'm a fun person to be around!
My class at school thinks I'm just the most embarassing person ever because I laugh and smile all the time. Sometimes I can't even give a speech without having to stop and take a breather from the desperate hilarity of the content.
On that point, I like to think I have interesting hobbies and interests. I enjoy reading, but only things that are very well written. Classical novels are the best ones, seriously. ( Yes, Twilight Series addicts, the books are a classic! ) My other hobby is movie watching. I am so addicted to films, it's really probably not healthy. My dad has a huge old movie collection, and I am constantly popping one into the TV. I can also knit, but not very well. I really enjoy all kinds of music, especially when I can connect in some way to the words.
So I guess that about concludes everything... Catch ya later.
