| Subject: | Yep |
| Time: | 3:25 pm. |
| Mood: |  cheerful. | | Music: | Kelly Clarkson. |

Jen's mood emoticon is a bouncing star with music notes dancing around it. It's labeled as being cheerful, and I have to completely agree with the illustration choice there. Singing and music in general make me cheerful, and I sing when I'm happy. I've been doing a lot of singing lately (ask my roommates). I've spent lots of time on itunes digging up old favorites I've listened to thousands of times on youtube, and I finally added them to my own music library. I think my mood has significantly changed since my last, horrible, embarrassing post. The idea of spring break in California might have something to do with that, or my outlet in art and music, and running. I'm climbing out of my little rut, and I feel normal again. Did I mention running? YES! I have always labeled it as my stress reliever, so why should I be so surprised that it's helped me get through the crap that I felt my life was? I have gone every monday, wednesday and friday for the last month or so, and i feel better, i act better, and I'm able to function as a person better. I've uped my game to 4 miles each time, and the last few I've kept my miles under 8 minutes (save for a post pizza run thanks to Johnny). It's nice to know that I still have that runner inside me. I still hate school and papers and responsibility, but now it's just the normal kind of hate, and not the "I'm going to shrivel up on my couch and die" hate. A lot of thanks goes to unexpected friends. I think my roommate has an awesome boyfriend who truly cares about people, and he is one of those unexpected friends who's willing to help me out, even when i don't ask for it.
There are others, one in particular... I'm not sure I should admit, 'cause people will get the wrong connotations. But he makes me laugh, and feel wanted, and pretty, and normal. I'm needed by him the same way he's needed by me... and I like to laugh, so he's another unexpected.
Anyway... I feel better about life.

why do we do what we do? I am confused at my own actions. We call them, wants, need, or desires. but I'm not so sure what to say at this point.
What the hell?
yeah, that works for me.

it's my birthday.
I went to class. had a fabulous lunch with the roommate. went to class again. walked half way home in the rain. cleaned my entire apartment. had dinner with the folks. and played on my computer.
it was kind of like a regular day.
------------------------------------------------
I love having a mini break from the show. My body kind of hurts from so many nights of shows, and yesterday's show was, uh... interesting. So many people were either sick or hurt and in need of a night off. On a good note, though, the show is nice... I'm proud of our cast and the performance we're giving and I'm having lots of fun on and off stage. I've lost 5lbs just from laughing so often.
Good things to remember on this, the day of my birth
*doogie howser m.d.
*polo rosa maria
*Liquor (insert dad's voice here), I hardly even know her

While watching the new TV show :Legally Blonde-the search for El Woods, I noticed that one of the contestants is a freshman at WMU in the mtp program. Does anybody know her? Her name is Lauren and she's from Rodchestter. it was a surprise to be watching a reality tv show about finding a girl to play the lead role on broadway, and see someone who goes to WMU. how fun! Anyways, it's a fun show and I already have my favorites.

I am now the only McNinch sibling not married. I feel like everyone at my brother's wedding this weekend was well aware of the fact and are now only waiting for my announcement, all knowing that my wedding will probably be the next time everyone sees eachother. I had a great time. The dress turned out fine (I added straps to keep the thing on) and I got great shoes, unfortunately a bit too small and un-broken-in - My nephews used my heels more than I did. They ran around ALL night each with a gold heel in their fist and had a better time than almost everyone, save for the bride and groom. The night was a success, though. Lots of fun, but not enough time with my bro.
i need summer to start. I have two summer classes, two jobs, and life in general to compete with. I can't wait until JUNE 23! i can take a day to sit, sleep, paint, run, read, sleep, eat, relax, and sleep some more! I'm always tired, and I know my few friends right now are tired of hearing me say it.
Good Things
-Iced coffee
-running club for losers
-Kurt Vonnegut
-Eva Cassidy
-mario cart wii
-baby Elinor
-guff like a bunny

so - typing in gloves is really hard to do, ps. It is so cold in the computer lab, here at the RCVA, that I have to wear extra clothing just to keep from shivering. I had a critique today in Metals/Jewelry, which means that I had to show up, look at other peoples work for a half hour and then go. Sweet deal right? Well except that the class is an 8am-er and so I'm stuck at school for an extra two and a 1/2 hours just waiting for my next studio to be unlocked. Thank God for the beautiful Mac lab that opens at 7:30 for our time wasting convenience. I sure hope that I got an A on my project. It turned out really well, surprisingly. Which shouldn't surprise me since I've given my soul to the art department, the metals lab specifically. I have had absolutely no life for the past few weeks. I get up at 6:45, school/work at 8,have back to back classes and lab until 10pm, then go home to eat(finally) and sleep. - repeat.
I feel like a machine.
oh oh! Almost forgot to share that the kids at work are singing Queen, more specifically Bohemian Rhapsody, for their music production. A bunch of middle school kids bustin' out the classics... can't help but smile at that.

so I have a very unhealthy relationship with Veronica Mars. i successfully watched the entire first season in only a couple days and now at 4:32 in the am I am now working through the 2nd. What's so wonderful and horrible about this TV show is that I get so involved - now I'm starting to hear noises in the night and my imagination has run away with my good sense. I can't stop thinking about all of the millions of things that could be making said noises and I can't sleep.
so there's nothing to do but watch more VM until she saves Neptune again.

so after three hours at the doctor's office today (complete with a blood test, mono test, and strep test) they came to the conclusion that they have no clue why I'm sick and they gave me a plain ol' prescription for my throat.
I feel like crap... crap that was left of the road and then run over with a car... a big car, maybe a truck. Kris was so nice though. She drove me and stayed there the whole time. She even made me soup and watched Anne of Green Gables with me. I have a good roomate, and a sucky throat!
hopefully I won't pass it on to her

I have creativity overload right now. All I do, all day everyday, is think new projects. I work at Gagie, which I have to think up new artsie kid projects each half hour. Then I go to class where I am working on this painting, or that drawing, or one of my printing plates, or another ceramics piece. I have too many ideas stored up in my brain that I'm not so sure that there's enough room.
maybe I need to write. Write about what? Well... that's what I keep asking myself too. I have this jumbled mess of thoughts in my head that keep rolling around, bouncing off of one another and I think that if I keep them locked up in my mind for too long that they will end up doing one of two things.
A). they collide so hard with one another that they break into little pieces unable to sustain life and so they dissolve away into the deep tissues of my right brain taking my imagination away with them... never to be found again.
or
B). they become so crowded in the tiny tissue caverns of my mind that they eventually force their way through the layers of my brain that it (my brain) explodes from the pressure from within and my ideas, dreams,and creativity topple onto the floor with my imagination, unable to be restored to my body.
neither one sounds very nice to me, but I am positive that one of the two will happen soon if I don't get some time to let my ideas out. I have been on such Art class overload (I do love it though)that I have been neglecting my writing and... and what better way to destress than to write a good poem or two (oh I know you all do it, even if you won't admit it)
or maybe I just need to go running.

What did I do today? That is a very good question. I 'm not so. I'm positive almost sure I worked for my money sometime during the eight hours I was clocked in. But somewhere in my mind there's this memory of conversations about fruit flies and camels being called to the sound of burps- and there appeared pages of doodles in my notebook. There's no way I got paid for that... right? ;)
alas... but it is true. Work was so slow that I didn't have much to do except goof off with co-workers. It was much appreciated, because I felt like crap and probably would have fainted if I had had to work too hard right off the bat. Yesterday at Bi-planes (ps I work at the air zoo) I had to focus really hard a few times to keep from passing out. I had to make an effort to stay standing and not to lock my knees. Probably not the best thing to be doing, but I don't like to make a scene, so I tried to tough it out.
I plopped on my bed sideways and fell asleep at 8. Kris came home, found me fully clothed and turned out the lights. that's a good roomate, we don't wanna waste electricity ;) I guess i needed the sleep, but I woke up just as crappy.
tomorrow holds lots of prepareing for me. I have to buy all of my art supplies for the coming fall and let me tell you that it is not cheap. You all wanna complain about books? Try buying paints!!! oh and can anyone give sell me a car? i need one almost desperatly... yet I have almost no money. Good times.
Happy Thoughts
-My sister graduating
-Ice cream sandwiches
-Ethan's haircut
-the sound of crickets ... outside
-My boyfriend reminding me that he still loves me

so while I'm thinking about it...
Songs for a New World rules. I am having a great experience with this group of people. The opening number really is something to hear. I have the feeling we're gonna majorly rock out.
ps.
I miss my friends. I wish I had more time to do stuff - to span across a whole bunch of people... but that doesn't happen and now i miss my friends. you know who you are, and I need to fix this.

I've come to the realization that time goes by fast. I sit here in my white little chair watching Guff and Kim fail again at the infamous Guitar hero (it's a HARD hard song), and I can't get over the idea or fact, rather, that the world is growing up around me. Yes, I'm growing with it... but still, how strange that Benj is getting married, Ethan is 2 going on 10, and tim and elis are 30 years old! There are so many other thing that I can list... tons, I won't bore you with those... but at work today kids were talking about what high school they were going to and how they do their math homework every night so that they can get a good job someday. I wanted to scream at them that they are 12, maybe 13, years old and do not need to be worried about what job they are going to prepare for. Be a kid! Instead i just handed them another paintbrush and told them to add a little white to the clouds they were painting. At this rate I feel like I'm going to wake up some morning like in 50 first dates, on a boat, married, with two kids... and wonder what hit me and where the last ten years went.
this sounds so emo... but what else is Livejournal for?
