Change is Imminent.

This is quite early compared to my normal posts. Want to know why? Well I had my first two classes canceled! Wooh! I slept in for the first one but I didn't know about the second. So now I'm here. You're jealous, I know. Hahaha.
Mmk, now to the point. I have noticed recently that I have changed, almost drastically, from the person I was in Middle School. Though I do retain a lot of what I was, I am almost a completely different person. Well, not on the inside really, I have always been like this but I have never let it show until recently.
I should explain what "this" is, shouldn’t I? In Middle School, I rarely talked to anyone who wasn't in my immediate circle of friends. And I didn't make an effort to expand this circle. I was quiet, did my work in class, et cetera. In seventh grade my teachers actually asked my mom if I had any friends. Not a good sign. So, once I go here, to High School, to Brooks, I began to... adapt? In a way. Starting the second half of freshman year I began to talk to more people and put myself out there. This summer I worked on it a lot too. Now this year, I have done a lot of things I wouldn't have done in Middle School. I started my Film Club, I joined a Model UN, Gospel Choir, I just plain be myself... in a way. And it's wonderful.
It's really something everyone should work on. I still am actually. I still have periods of time in which I retreat to my old shell and don't talk to new people, or even people I know who I'm not great friends with. It makes me seem a bit bipolar in a way I guess. But when I do act myself it is very rewarding, however cliché that may sound.
Well, School meeting is soon. Got to go!
Much Love,
~ Jenna

So... How's Life?

"So... How's Life?" a quote that if you are my friend you have probably heard numerous times. It is pretty much the ultimate awkward moment killer. Though, in a way it makes it more awkward. If there is a silence or lull in conversation, or maybe someone said something odd and you want to break the tension, use this never fail technique. With the prolonged "So...." said more like, "Soooooo..." Well, that looks like it's said like the word sue... you know it's said like the word sew. So, (haha) as I was saying the prolonged "so" points out that fact that it is awkward and makes it known to everyone that you agree with them in the awkwardness. (It works much better than just saying "Awkward!" because if everyone else doesn't think it is awkward it doesn't make it awkward and it makes you less embarrassed.) Then after the "so" you add the "How's life?" making it a question. You can answer that in a one word answer though, such as, "good" or "fine." You can then later ask why life is "good" or "fine." And if someone says their day is not so good or fine you can discuss why. And if none of that works, there is usually a bit of laughter over the pointing out of the awkwardness which later leads to conversation and potential for this quote to become an inside joke. And if none of that works you can just nod your head and say "That's good" to their answer (if they do answer) and maintain the awkwardness... (Yeah it has a few flaws but it makes up for it!) It's very useful as you can see. I use it many situations now, even non-awkward ones. I hope you will too!

P.S. Yes, I know that was just informative. I didn't feel like talking about myself today. I feel like I've been coming across conceited. (Which I am not! I dislike conceitedness... if that's a word... I think it is since my spell check isn’t yelling at me for it...) I'm going to post this link on Facebook eventually; I just need to work up the courage to actually put myself out there. I have no readers currently so that might be nice... Well, G'night!

For the Second Time.

Here I am again! My second post, this is exciting! Wooh! I know you must be just as excited as I am. (Yeah right) Hahahahahahahaha. So, topic of today’s ramble... my ever confusing family situation. (Will be shorter than last time but harder to understand)
So... let's get started then. My parents got married, like many parents do, and they had three children together. My older brother Joey (currently 17), then me, then my younger brother Danny (currently 12). A year after Dan was born my parents got divorced. Both of them were single for about three years. Then my Mom married my step-dad Kevin and my Dad married my step-mom Sandy. My Mom and step-dad had two children. My brother Sean (currently 6) and my sister Kayleigh (currently 5). My Dad and step-mom had two children as well. My sister Katie (currently 5) and my brother Kyle (currently 3). So, Sean Katie, Kayleigh and Kyle are all technically my half-siblings, though I do not call them that. Make any sense? That was actually one of my better explanations. You should be proud of me!
Since that took a shorter time then I thought I might as well explain to you the point of this blog. Pretty much a place to store my thoughts. I also like the idea that people can read it if they want to. I guess I appear to be a bit of an odd person to others, and well, I am a bit of an odd person. So... this is sort of to give people a small insight into my mind, if they care enough to care. I also want to eventually write a book or two and writing regularly will help improve my writing skills. (Hopefully) That, in essence, is why I have started all this. Wonderful story, huh?
Done for today I guess. Hope that was very informative. Will hopefully post again soon!
See you later! Have a nice day!
Much Love,
~ Jenna
P.S. I feel like asking a question again... hmm... let's go with the ultimate awkward moment killer. Tomorrow I might explain why it is the ultimate awkward moment killer.
How's Life?

So it has begun...

Here it is! The blog I have been meaning to start for awhile now. Though that first sentence sounds like I have been telling many people and it is anticipated, even slightly. But that's not true. I haven't told nearly anyone and who in the world would want to read my rambling so it couldn't be anticipated. I'm going to stop putting myself down now, (one of my goals in... life) and tell you a bit about myself. Though I doubt anyone will read this to find out. (Stop it! You're doing it again!) ... Don't mind my inner voice coming out in parenthesis...
So, I'm Jenna. But you probably know this if you are reading this. Though if you do not that either means my blog is getting popular (which is unlikely) or you are a sketch. Either or, you choose the more likely. As I said, I'm Jenna. Currently I'm a sophomore in high school, 16 years old. I'm tall-ish, 5'7"-5'8"...ish, I'm not telling you how much I weigh. (Don't ask, it's rude!) I don't want to sound conceited but there may be people out for blood if I tell you, and others who wonder if I'm telling the truth, because (Even though I am skinny-ish) I look like I weigh more than I really do... unfortunately. (Most want it the other way around... and I told myself already I wouldn’t do this!) I have dark brown hair, with random scattered natural red and blonde highlights, that is now a little shorter than shoulder length, as of last Monday. (That's the one more than a week ago, a week from yesterday) I have blue eyes, but they change a lot so sometimes they have a brownish tint and/or some streaks or a greenish tint and/or some streaks ... or a grayish tint and/or some streaks... or a combination of colors... they are odd like that. So... that's a description of me... anything I missed? (That whole thing makes me sound very self centered or something, I am not. I just was bored and felt like describing myself, you should try it sometime)
Well, I don't know about you but I'm done for today... I'll write again soon… hopefully. Hope you enjoyed this tid-bit of my soul. Next time I might try and explain my family, or why I wanted to start a blog in the first place. You never know. My mind often takes me to odd places so it could be any topic really. Hope you enjoyed, even in the littlest bit. It will get better once I start to rant. Those who know me might have read some of my Facebook rants by now. (Probably not though.) They are interesting to say the least…
See you later! Good Night! Toodleloo!
Much Love,
~ Jenna
