Back to the basics

2003-02-05T20:11:20Z

Now that I disowned my xanga, and I still need to expresss myself in writing, I am now resorting back to her dear livejournal so ANYONE can comment =).

I've just been thinking about parents a lot recently. I truly believe that one's childhood and relationship w/ one's parents are the cornerstone for all of one's relationships in life. My father is sometimes an ass..therefore I feel the need to be a bitch to males in general before they can hurt me. My parents and I hardly communicate...therefore, I have a hard time talking about my "feelings"..in person anyways. My parents hold racial prejudices that I cannot agree with, but they make me feel ashamed of people I like or admire. As a result, I don't share my opinions often for fear of criticism.

I love my parents..but if i'm in therapy later in life..i'll know why.

on a side note, i got pics back from camp and remember how much i gained from it. I want to go back for a session possibly..but who knows where i'll be.
'
gosh, i'll NEVER meet ppl like them again. The ones that i actually got to know are definitely one of a kind. i miss them so much. I feel lucky.

OOOOOH YEA! today, i got notification that me and 3 other special people are going to TRL on FEB 18! Though I'm not proud of my teenie bopper moments, I am so excited!! i hope there are good bands!

so who to take? =/

dah dah dah

2002-09-24T02:34:55Z

Oh I have not posted in a while...merely for the reason that a) no one will read it and b) My life is boring.

Well i've been doing much thinking..mostly about school, college, teachers, future and friends...just the usual mind-fucking issues that get you feeling claustrophobic. Ah its all jacobsen's fault...the point is, why should we, as high schoolers, feel the need to attend college when it does not necessarily prove to be necessary or even worthy of the 160k we spend on it? Bah!

I wish so many things...superficial and emotional. does it ever feel like everyone is moving on without you and you are stuck with yourself...still the 17 year old nitwit that you have come to hate? of course, i am talking about myself. Such a hypocrite i am. Jen is all talk, no action. Damn that passiveness...or lack of motivation. Damn the world!!

my life is good. too bad i dont see it that way.

if 9 ppl are applying to cornell from my school alone, how many will get in? 2 or 2? =/

bumble fuck

update

2002-09-10T00:02:56Z

i have not updated in a while, i figure no one is reading it..but heres what's going on w/ my boring boring life:

well school sucks..i am never in the "thinking" mood; i just want to get things over with and get thru the day. For some reason, i suddenly feel like the stupid one in the class. On top of that, i gotta study for the sats again, fill out college apps to colleges that i cant get into, and tons of assignments that seniors should not have to do. ((sigh)) I am also sick =( i feel like i cant breathe very well.

grrr
why do i ask to put extra jalepenos when i take them out? =/

Since I have returned home, I realized that not too much has changed in my life--i still wake up after noon, my heart still accelerates when I see an insect, and I'm still as weird, whimsical and insecure as I was before I left. Sadly, I am a little disappointed. My thoughts keep returning to camp though. The people I met, and hopefully keep in touch with, and the kids that I call "my boys" despite my constant and passionate barrage of insults I declare when referring to them. Throughout camp, I kept forgetting why these kids were here: because what we are giving them, the opportunity to forget their worries and familial abuse. It was so difficult to remember that they were homeless because the constant bantering about their playstation 2's and gamecubes. Yet, during their endless stay at Kiwago, their only mentions of family were shocking, to say the least--about murder in the family, runaway siblings, drug and sexual proliferation...I definitely had a rude awakening. Though it was hard to realize, I had to force myself to believe that even though they cursed and abused me, there was a reason behind it...something in their not-so-innocent childhood factored into their crude and abusive behavior. I love those kids, despite....I did walk away with a poor rendition of the harlem shake, lanyard-making skills, new slang words and a few friends that will remind me everyday of my summer '02.

((Happy birthday to ali and pooj!!))

jen's back from hell

2002-07-13T00:24:02Z

hey to the one person that reads this...i'm back from camp kiwago...aka the hellhole w/ little satan's spawn running amuck throughout the sticky mosquito ridden stench of verbal, mental and physical abuse. Plus, i'm not exaggerating. This experience had made me cry many a times, and i constantly wonder, "who would put themselves in this position to be ABUSED for FREE??" Yet despite being called a "fuckin dicksucker, you fuckin bitch, shut the fuck up" by the "children", i think this experience has been ...er...good. hopefully, i have become stronger because of this, stronger, more patient and more tolerant to abuse. Because I am consistently tortured with no consequences on their part, I need to suck up my anguish and stress,and endure. I have changed. The pettiness of society, of civilization, does not seem to penetrate into worries anymore. When you are forced to absorb the abuse and express a smile while cleaning up pissed-drenched blankets and the fuckin mess left to you alone at dinner (trust me, these "kids" eat with their fuckin thumbs) and receiving absolutely no consolation for your efforts, you have changed.. I am so tired rite now. looking back on the past 3 weeks, i cannot frown. I am proud that I have survived, for I am not lying about my experience. I have had near mental breakdowns. And I am alone. Though I am totally disgusting at this moment, I feel like I have actually accomplished something and i hope i do not forget this experience. in a few days, i will leave again--leave to accept abuse, forced to clean, watch, talk, sleep, wake up, realize, and cry. The simplest commands (hey anthony, frankie, can you please go up to lunch) takes me at least 15 minutes cuz they love to struggle with you. And there are no consequences to their actions (unless they KILL someone)...i have been bitten, had rocks thrown at me, taken several punches, had been racially insulted, and been down to me knees in frustration. But what...I learned how to blow a whistle with an acorn, learned to do lanyard and magic tricks, learned to be tolerant and patient. Was it worth it?? who the fuck knows. All i know is that, retrospectively, i do not regret this experience. I don't. I am so tired. I look black now. Most likely, i have skin cancer. Bah!
love to all who wrote or called. I do appreciate it. And those who didn't, I realized now that I shouldn't care.

2002-06-21T17:04:21Z

today is suppose to be MY day before I leave..dinner and movie w/ friends in celebration of my 17th birthday. Instead, I went to school to find my finals/regents grades, and I started crying. When I saw my physics grade, I was horrified...and I started crying like a little baby with my mom staring at me from the car. I CANT BELIEVE I DID SO BAD ON IT! Not 80s bad...not even 70s bad...but that lil area between right above failure. I'm still so upset...i've never gotten below a 90 on a regents, let alone nearly failing. I really hope the school board decides to rescore or curve..I never imagined I would be such a total failure. On the other hand, I was one of 3 students who got 100 on US and something like a 98/99 on english. Yet that fuckin Physics grade cannot escape my mind. I started crying in front of everybody...god....what a fuckin shit day.

Which flock do you follow?

this quiz was made by alanna

such a freak

2002-06-15T22:44:58Z

I have problems...all psychological...

--Do you ever want something, and then when you get it, you freak out and run away?--

--Are you so indecisive that you force other people to make decisions for you, and then complain about it?--

--Are you over-melodramatic for your own good?--

--Do you ever KNOW the answer to something but much too shy or insecure to speak up, and then someone else says it and thinks theyre the fuckin king of the intellectual world, then bitch about it??--

--Do you often find yourself in an awkward silence?--

--Do you open your mouth at inappropriate times?--

--Do you tend to overanalyze things, or forget them completely?--

--Do you tend to be overly sensitive and cry about everything? (might just be the hormones..haha)--

if you answered (yes) to any of the precedings, you are scientifically diagnosed with "JENNOSTROPHY"

Seek treatment =l

those few ppl that u can count on

2002-06-08T21:20:14Z

I realized...that there are only a few people you can count on in your life. Those ppl that won't ditch you to hang out w/ the so-called "in" clique (when I say "in" i mean the obnoxious loud arrogant people who think theyre so fuckin hot and funny, but lack any sense of personality) or leave you to hang out w/ an idiotic guy...

So last nite..in TC..only ppl i could count on was lilligans and patty cake. The REST, ALL THE REST, were dorks..and I wanna stress that i actually want these dorks to read this cause now i realized (as stated above) and i hope they realize. When you find who you can actually count on to not abandon you, be happy. Cause you know u can just FUCK the rest of them. Call me anti social but i will not stoop down and kiss anyones ass to be "in"

devastation

2002-06-04T23:02:09Z

*sniff* i actually cried in school today...Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. If you killed me today, it would be a huge favor. But what I did realize is this: False friends are like shadows--they walk with you in the sunshine and disappear when your in the shade.

a few people gave me such support...subtle but sweet...While others saw me tearing up at my misery and looked away..or even laughed. It seems clear now WHO my FrIENDS are..of course when i'm all happy and silly, i have people surrounding me, but when i'm sad, people seem to disappear. maybe they dont know what to say, but when you see me crying, walking away just shows a lack of caring. what a fucked up life i lead...u see, THESE THINGS ONLY HAPPEN TO ME...ONLYME! Trust me....must be my spazziness...whatever

disillusioned youth

2002-06-03T02:59:46Z

i am in denial. i avoid the truth, take off my contacts, drain myself in fictional worlds online and television and surround myself with people who will not expose me. how very sad. u see, i know how I am. Yet how can i still be denial. I will just blame it on my poor upbringing, genes and hormones.
