"It's fun being a subject of your blog today." "Was it fun having fruit rubbed all over you?"

My face smells like strawberries and cucumbers and my feet smell like sugary oranges. And after all that was stated, I return to say that my hair smells and resembles a banana. Why, do you ask? Because my best friends and I are doing a beauty-makeover with random food in my kitchen. This is our progress so far:

1. Mixing oranges, olive oil, and granulated sugar on all the dry spots on our skin. This was extremely fun to make. I got to smash out the guts of innocent citrus fruits while they silently pleaded for mercy--every girl's dream, right? The sugar was extremely cool to watch soak up all the oily-ness. When we rubbed it all over feet (haha!) it was instantly...SMOOTH! So we have all deemed this method: CRAZY, SMELLING AWESOME, AND SUPER SOFT. Feel free to fondle my feet frequently.
2. Rubbing slices of cucumbers and strawberries all over our faces. This resulted in us sticking them to our faces and laughing like crazy, which is what any average teenage girl would do when she has fruit plastered to her face, right? Anyways, this is supposed to tighten our pores. Janey, do you find you pores to be tightened?
Janey: *looks over at me with love and humor blissfully sparkling in her hazel eyes* Yes.
Chanme, what about you? Do you feel all tight, pores-wise?
Chanme: *swooning at my presence* Yes!
What about you, me?
Me: Oh heck to the yes.
Case closed.
3. Our Failed Experiment.
It was here that us three virtuous ladies "wimped out". But oh! As I typed that dreary sentence, Comrade Janey wiped this horrid liquid stink all over her lovely, innocent face. She states "It doesn't smell that bad when you put it on." Chanme dutifully followed her friend into this smelly doom, but she panicked after applying and immediately fled to the bathroom to wipe the nasty odor off of her sweet Korean face. What was it, you asked? Apple cider vinegar, four crushed aspirins, and distilled water. Smells like puke. Looks like puke. Janey and Chanme report that their faces indeed, feel softer. But I won't resort to rubbing that liquid fart all over my face. No sir. On to the next project!
4. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. In which we, the daring duo plus one, have spread chunks of mashed banana, egg yolk, and tea tree oil in our luxurious locks in attempts to make it shiny. Reports will come in soon, but at the moment, we've got to wait ten minutes while this strange concoction takes hold of our scalps. Needless to say, I don't look very attractive right now, having plastic wrapped around my head to hide giant chunks of potassium in my blonde hair. Chanme looks like a greaser, in a cool way, and I can smell her banana-vibes from here. Janey looks like some chic hippie woman, and this is just a regular part of her day. I, on the other hand, look like a gothic lunch lady who came back after being fired and is ready to suicide-bomb the whole school with a bomb that smells of bananas.
END RESULT OF BANANA ESCAPADE
Don't you ever dare to do what we just did. We have bananas caught in our hair. LOTS OF BANANAS. In fact, one could say, that we most likely will have a banana complex after this. We all washed our hair three times over and there is STILL bananas. STILL. The good news is, we all donned swimsuits and had a group bath time in attempts to save water...okay, that's a lie, we did it because it was freaking hilarious. But now we are all cozy in our pajamas and sick and tired of bananas, but still very happy and content.

So what do you do when your boyfriend is grounded?
And when you can't eat gluten for another two months?
And when your friends and family live an ocean away?
You rub fruit all over your bodies and laugh until you almost pee.

I love my friends.

Worrywort on your forehead

"Is all that we see or seem/But a dream within a dream?"--Edgar Allan Poe. "A Dream Within a Dream"



A quick list of my doubts/worries that most do not have:
  1. Did I actually say anything or did I make guttural noises?
  2. Was I really a witness to a haunting?
  3. Will I pass out when I give blood next week?
  4. Should I say hi or pretend to be a Muslim?
  5. Is there seriously happiness anywhere that lasts forever?
  6. Is there a murderer in my shower?
  7. Is that a murderer outside my window or owls having sex again?
  8. Am I going to die in an easy chair where no one can find me?
  9. If I run away now, will anyone remember what I look like or sound like or even who I was?
  10. Is this seriously poetry or am I writing out my anger in weird fonts again?
  11. Does anybody seriously want to be around me or are they being nice?
  12. Do you smell lab rats in formaldehyde or is this a flashback?
  13. Am I going to get fat after one cookie?

Family Heritage

"Love lives beyond
The tomb, the earth, which fades like dew.
I love the fond,
The faithful and the true."
--John Clare, "Love Lives"




Where, do you wonder, did I get my:
  1. obsession with organization? My aunt, on my Dad's side. She's very OCD, and frankly, I love it to bits, just because she seems so clean about the whole business. So, that would explain why I'm very picky about soap, detergent, recycling, and other random crap that people find irritating to be organized about.
  2. addiction to lists? My mom's mother. My mom discovered how much I listed stuff and she informed me that my Nana did it, too. This was proven to me later by me finding one of her lists in a box somewhere. We also seem to have the same love of weird stickers, since I own a whole bunch of her "lick this sticker of a baby" stickers left in my art box...
  3. love of going all-out for gifts? My mom's brother. Once for Christmas, he got a Santa bag, made sled marks in the snow, and fake reindeer prints and left all of my gifts outside, just like if someone jacked Santa Claus. Best Christmas ever, except he forgot to list one gift to me from him, so I thought my uncle hated me that year.
  4. realist views, or pessimism? My mom's sister. She is a very, er, blunt lady. Usually, though, I find it hilarious. She got so fed up with me whining one day that she made a huge "JENNA STOP WHINING" sign and taped it to the doors. I'm glad she set me straight, because whining is annoooooyyyyyiiiiiiinnnnnggggg.
  5. thriftiness? My sister. I found out she collected change in this big ole piggy bank and saved up to eighty bucks. She became my hero. She shops thrift stores like I do and she always finds the neatest stuff. Unfortunately, I find crappy pearl necklaces that break in a day.
  6. creativity? My mom. She used to set up my dolls in my dollhouse before I woke up so that they would be doing something different every day. She's so thoughtful, it's insane!
  7. goofiness? My dad. Just meet my dad. You'll see. One birthday, he wore a tutu on his head and talked like a lady the whole day. This was before I learned to be embarrassed.
  8. love of old things? My grandpa. He would sing these songs from the thirties to make me smile and now I know all of them by heart. We also developed a love of cartoons together.

The Colour Meaning of Roses and The Meaning Behind the Meaning

"the earth laughs in flowers."--e.e. cummings, my second favorite poet <3


Red-love, passion, respect, courage
Translation: By giving a woman these flowers, you are debating whether or not you see her as a sexy fox or your mother.

Yellow-joy, friendship, freedom.
Translation: Give these roses to a friend you would help break out of jail.

Pink-happiness, gratitude, appreciation, admiration
Translation: "I'm ecstatic that you can stand to be seen with me!"

Cream: thoughtfulness, charm, graciousness
Translation: Present these to a flirtatious hotel cleaning lady.

Orange-admiration, fascination, enthusiasm, desire
Translation: You should definitely give these to either me (they're my favorite flower) or a really cool-looking zebra at the zoo that you find somewhat adorable. I would pick me, just saying.

White: Innocence, purity, secrecy, reverence
Translation: These flowers clearly state "If you were a nun, we'd be having an affair."

I type these things for two reasons: One, I found a random bookmark of Better Homes&Gardens explaining all this and found it funny and Two, MY MOTHER WAS A ROSE.

That One Scene, with the Vicious Murder? "WHAT!?"

"A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors."--Charles Baudelaire, poet (Not the fictional characters from A Series of Unfortunate Events, mind you.)

I keep having the irritating pleasure of reading sequels before actually reading the actual book None of this would happen if authors had the decency to write "Sequel to...", "The Companion Novel to...", or "Book 3 of This One Series You Didn't Start On." But no. Authors want to assume you've read all the books and spent months chewing off your hands in anticipation for the newest installment. They probably think I tattooed its title to my lips or something. Morons.
The fun part is when you're reading through and saying to yourself "I think I'm missing out on something. Is this common knowledge? Am I seriously this vapid?" I mean, I come face-to-face with sentences like

"I remember when I was a werewolf."
My reaction: Whoa, wait, he was a werewolf??

"She looked sad ever since the wolves killed her brother."

She had a brother?! The werewolves killed him?! WHAT'S GOING ON!?

"We became human to be in love. I live in a house instead of the woods and my car smells funny because of the accident."

?!?!?!? I must be reading a sequel again or something!

*All of these quotes were paraphrased segments on the novel I cracked open last month when I was grounded.
But all this taught me two important lessons:
  1. Werewolves kill girls' brothers
  2. Reading sequels before the books is hilarious
So I have another HALF-HEARTED-CHALLENGE! (since I never seem to finish anything). Comment below of a sequel to a book (can't be Harry Potter) and I'll read it and write what I think happened in the book before it using only what I gathered from the sequel. Sounds good? Excellente.
