about me

Alotta my pals say that I am pretty random, and i like to think out side of the box alot. Im pretty crazy but not in the straight jacket sorta way ya kno. I like to send letters to my friends cuz everyone likes to get real mail every once and a while. I also like to leave messages on answering machines. Those are a few joys in my life. Another joy in my life is my friends. They put happy into my life just being there. They are my favorite people and I would do anything for them. There are many other joys in my life such as my dog and writing. There are sum downs too but the good stuff makes up for it. Ya can't let the bad bring ya down too much bcuz then life gets a little harder everyday cuz its just bringin ya down. Movin on, Im kinda spastic and goofy and thats aways fun. I like to have fun and smile and have a good time. I'm never usually serious but sometimes I am when I write. Other than that, I usually am never serious cuz its just not me. It would just be weird. But hey I'm weird too and sponaneous so ya never know what to expect outta me I am just a firecracker that just never stops goin. Ya think the pop stops but no it keeps on goin. I can also be refered to as spark plug cuz i dunno i guess im sparky but okay. Thats about all the main stuff, you'll learn the rest in time.

Today was a very good day. I am very proud of myself as well as very proud of most of my friends. I gave blood today and it was the most uplifting experience of my life. I, out of many of the kids at my school, made a difference today. I, as well as many others, made an impact on the world. More specifically, someone's life. Maybe up to three people's lives.
But we all know it's not only changing their lives. It is also changing their loved ones lives. How would you feel if your friend or family member got another chance at life with the help of a donor? It's very a lovely feeling I am feeling right now, thinking about this. It is about the best natural high I have had in a long time. I would give blood every week knowing all the benefits to others. Just my blood, benefiting others...how simple yet important. It brings much meaning to me...I feel meaningful...I feel...wonderful =D I realized today was full of lots of love. Everyday is full of lots of love, but today felt like Christmas. All the love just came out to play...and everyone seemed so alive...joyous? Just lovely. I'm not saying it was the best day ever or anything, it was just...you know that extra cheeryness and warmth that comes around Christmas time? It felt like that. I just wanted to hug everyone more today. I didnt though...I didnt want people thinkin I was weird or anything. Scratch that, I am weird. But weirder. What can I say? I love hugs. Hug Jenny I went to give blood early with Manda. The process was tideous. Lines, papers, waiting, questions...everything an impacient person hates. Especially when you are like flippin out nervous and cold. I had to go to Stennett to get my transcript so I would have a more valid ID. It was funny because the person asking me this is one of my best friends Julia. Though she isn't the one who needed it, it was funny that she was telling me I needed a more specific ID. Whats even funnier is that I went to Stennett for my transcripts...technically, she is not my counsler anymore. Niether of us really gives a damn. I like it that way. Ralph was there and he was very proud of me that I was giving blood. Ralph is a good guy. He reminds me a lot of my grampa. I find a lot of comfort in that. He is very protective of me and cares a lot. I would give him one of my kidneys if he needed it. He is my best security guard friend. The people sponsering the blood drive were really friendly. When they called my name to ask me questions, the lady was very calm. She tried telling me to be calm but it wasnt working. When you are terrified of needles and blood, telling someone to calm down at a blood drive is really really funny actually. The idea that someone with those two phobias is giving blood is even more hilarious. But you have to set aside your fears for a little while, it is for a good cause. And that is why I did it. Seeing my friends really helped a lot. It brought comfort to me to see their faces and speak with them. My friend Rena came up to me while I was waiting and saw how nervous I was. She gave me a hug and told me that if her aunt were still alive, I could have saved her life with my blood. That right there made me feel really nice. It's little things like that which keep me going. Julia got me some water to make sure I was hydrated. Like I said, everyone was so warm today it was beautiful. Everyone came together in such a positive way. An angelic side to everyone showed today. It made me all warm and fuzzy seeing this. I love it like this. My nurse's name was Rasha. She had a nifty cool Polish accent. She was very loving like a grandma. She made sure I got my stickers lol. She saw how much I was shaking and just talked to me with her nifty cool Polish accent. When it came time to suck my blood, Ralph came by again and held my hand. Julia took a break from her ID checking and was my moral support and comic relief. It was getting crazy how much I was shivvering/shaking so Rasha took the icepack off my neck. Julia got me her coat to keep me warm, what a wonderful pal. I love my friends. My favorite part of giving blood was being able to look around the room and see people I care about and love. I would look across the room and see Manda and Abby, I would look just a little to my left and see my pal Megan (who was also nervously shaking and shivvering), I would look just across the way to the right and see Liz, I would see Julia walking around (coming back and forth to check up on me), I would see Ralph coming around to check up on me to make sure I was doing okay. I felt safe. Nothing feels nicer than looking about a room and capturing warm smiles from familiar faces. I like feeling safe. I left with a memory. And a whole bunch of keepsakes. I got 2 stickers (one saying it was my first time, the other telling people to be nice to me), a teeshirt, a pen, and good feelings of worth and meaning. That was my day. It was very lovely. I love you all very very muchly <3> Jenny at 6:45 PM
