So Here Is the Deal...

Hi guys,

Does anyone else feel weird sometimes writing stuff?  I don't know what to write here anymore.

It's not that I don't know what to say, it's just that I don't really feel like saying it.

I think that I'm going to take an extended leave of absence from this blog.

I know I always say that I am going to do it, but I really am this time.

I just need time to live and go on adventures and do all the crazy freaky stuff that teenagers are supposed to.

If you guys have any burning desire to see/write me, I am most always on tumblr at:

phosphorescentadolescence.tumblr.com

So you can find me there if you need me.  I mostly just post stupid stuff but I'm thinking about posting actual write-y type stuff as well.

So yeah.

Bye for now, I guess.  I know I'll always have this to come back to, but for now, I have other things to focus on in my life.

Love and kisses, fooligans.

*Taps Microphone* Is Anyone Out There? *Coughs Awkwardly*

Hi guys.

Salutations.

How do I blog again?  Like what do I say to you guys?  Did I say anything to begin with?  Honestly, a lot of what I wrote was obnoxious, twee twaddle, but you all stuck around.  Have a picture of a sloth.

This sloth is my cover photo on Facebook.
So yeah, I did a lot of things in the month that I was AWOL again.  I took my SAT IIs (Literature and United States History; A 690 and 740, respectively.), my AP United States History exam (Which went off about as well was to be expected.  Here's hoping, right?), I got my driver's license (Stay off the roads, folks), and I had my last high school band concert ever.  Yay hooray and three cheers for merry England, even though I am an American.
FREEDOM AND GUNS
I only have about a month of school left, thank god.  I get out of school so late this year, guys.  I get out in like fucking July, it's an utter heap of donkey poop.  June 26 is not an appropriate time for school to get out, but I can't control the weather, and that was all due to snow days.  Damn seniors that don't have to make them up, so jealous.

Anyway, I've been a busy little beaver writing a bunch of new material.  It's for a writing contest at a local community theater a few towns over from me.  Hopefully something comes of it, I really do enjoy the idea I've worked up.  Just a little more writing and then a lot of tweaking and hopefully I'll have something magical.

It is going to be hard to top "Waiting Room" as that was my first, real, completed work.  It was like my baby.  Now I'm writing another baby, and I'm worried I won't love it as much as I loved "Waiting Room."  But my mom says that you just make room in your heart for all of the love you feel.  So I'm banking on that.

Otherwise I haven't been doing much with my life.  It's been pretty boring, to be honest.  Right now I'm looking up mac and cheese on tumblr and considering getting up off my butt and making some and procrastinating an essay but hey, what are you going to do?

Such is my life.

Mmmmm, mac and cheese
Anyway, that's my life so much.  How are all of you?  I want to know about your fabulous lives!

Love and kisses,

Jennelle

So I Suck At Keeping Promises But What Else Is New, Let's Be Real.

Let's start out this post with me saying that I suck at keeping promises.  But you all should know this by now.  Seriously.  I suck at keeping promises. Never make me promise anything because it won't happen, I can guarantee it 99% of the time.

I meant to do BEDA, I really did.  I meant to do BAMF too, but seriously, life got in the way.  That sounds like the worst cop-out in the world, but it is totally accurate.  Things started happening to me, guys.  Lots of things that I haven't shared with all of you, which is weird since I usually share everything about my life with you guys.  Withholding things feels like I'm holding things ransom, which is hekka dumb, but what are you going to do?

What has been happening to me recently?  Let's think.

1. I have AP testing very soon (read: May 15.  I'm going to poop myself in fear).
2. I have SATs on May 4, and then again on June somethingth.
3. I have my driving test on May 11.
4. I have... other things too.

Okay, I'm going to stop being cryptic and just spit it out.  I am not a lonely old spinster anymore.

That might need a little more spelling out.

I have a boyfriend.

Wow, it's been nearly a month and it still sounds like I'm lying when I say that.

Anyways, that guy that I met at a St. Patrick's Day party forever ago?  Yeah, he's taken a step up in my world.

His name is Colin.  And he is adorable.

This is us at prom.

Aren't we a couple of cuties?
If you look to the right behind my head you can see our friend Mike making out with his girlfriend.

But other than that, April really has been a busy month for me.  I've been writing a lot because I am applying to a Creative Writer's Workshop at Emerson College this summer, and I'm also beginning writing for a new short play for a contest at a local theater for original writing. So that's been keeping me occupied as well.

I also have been studying my butt of for SATs and AP and I will be so glad when it is all over and I can just sit outside and photosynthesize in the sun.  You guys didn't know this, but I am actually a lizard, not a human, and I need sunlight to begin to move since I am cold blooded.

Anyways, I am beginning to realize how much senioritis has set in for me and I am not even a good portion through my last quarter as a junior.  I can't wait for summer.  It is so close.  I can taste it on my tongue, and it tastes pretty damn good.

So I may not update until after May 15, but when I do, I will let you guys know what's up with my life instead of disappearing.

Here is me not promising anything.  That way I can't let you down when it doesn't happen. I'm super clever, aren't I?

I'll see you guys around.

Love and kisses,

Jennelle

I'm Caveating BEDA Guys

I am also completely aware that caveating isn't a word, but I live in my own little fantasy world.  Don't judge me.  Or do, I don't really care.

SO.

I'm caveating BEDA.  I just realized how freaking busy I am this month.  It is really freaking busy.  Like, I don't know when I decided to suddenly heap all of this junk onto my plate, but here it is.

I will do BAMF, or Blogging in April More Frequently.  I'll try to do as many days as humanly possible, but what with my course work and the fact that I'm not going to be around a computer for a few days over April Break since I'm going to be looking at colleges.

But I will try my hardest because that is what you guys deserve!

That being said, I have an essay and APUSH homework to go finish.  So I'm going to go...

I LOVE YOU ALL GIVE ME TIME I WILL PRODUCE ACTUAL CONTENT FOR YOU!

Love and kisses,

Jen

April 1 and 2 in One Because I Forgot That BEDA Was Something That I Do

Hi Guys,
Long time, no see!
Well, not really, I posted something last week.  But you haven't gotten a life update for a while!  So here we go.  This will be for both April 1 and April 2, because I forgot that BEDA was something that I do.  I love writing, I just don't have a lot of time for it, you know?
I am studying.  For many things.  I am taking my SAT IIs in May, (I'm taking two) and then 11 days after I take those, I am taking my AP US History test.  And then in June I am taking the regular SATs.  I may die before the end of the year, there is no telling.
And on top of studying, I am looking at colleges.  To be honest, it is completely terrifying.  I don't want to have to make the biggest decision of my life at 18.  I mean, Jesus, I sometimes have trouble deciding what shoes to wear in the morning.  I should not be trusted with life-altering decisions.
And on top of looking at colleges, I am writing application pieces for a Creative Writing Workshop at Emerson, in Boston, for the summer.  I am super torn over this program.  On the one hand, I want to go to this program so badly.  It will look so good on my applications to college and it will help me grow as a writer, especially because I am looking at being a Creative Writing and English major.  On the other hand, 1. you have different fingers and 2. I want to hang out with my friends and do stupid teenage stuff.  That is what summer is for.
Alright, I want to talk more, but I have a mountain of homework to do.
I feel bad leaving you at this but we'll talk more tomorrow.
For now, love and kisses,
Jennelle
