I've been trying to get back into blogging, but I'm starting fresh on a new page. Check it out! It has DIYs and some thoughtful posts mixed together. I plan on having a variety of things. Thanks!

Just call me Superwoman...
Sorry I haven't posted...pretty much all of April. I've been busy doing a little something called Script Frenzy.
It ends tomorrow. But I sat myself down today and wrote.
I can proudly say, I am an official winner of Script Frenzy-2012.
And, NaNoWriMo-2011.
I'm on a freaking roll. I have a complete script done which I'm most likely going to end up acting out this summer with some friends. It's about a girl who's moving soon but doesn't tell her friends, just makes a bucket list. I don't know if it's crap or absolutely amazing. Hopefully the second choice, probably the first choice.
But, oh well. Heck, it was fun. It was an experience. And I won!
And the NaNoWriMo, I haven't even FINISHED the novel but I'm close and I hit 50 k so yeah buddy.
It sounds hard, but honestly just put in some effort and you can do it. Heck, I am 14 years old (13 when I did NaNo) and that's the age to make the normal one. Any younger than that you do the normal ones. Yes, I will admit that you give up some time. Social time, outside time, and you may have to do your homeowrk faster if it normally takes you all afternoon. But if you fall behind, there's weekends. Just don't be afraid to try it.
One option is Camp NaNo, if you're too busy in the school year (November). Camp NaNo is this summer, so why not give it a go? Or do your own little project, such as "I'll write a 10 page short story in one week". Someting simple.
If you need help or any tips, just comment. Message me. Hit me up. I'm here to help, and you won't regret giving it a go.
Blogs, stories, scripts...I love writing and if you give anything a go you may too.

A Little Bit of Glitter to End the Night...
Well, happy late St. Patty's Day. Crap. I just realized I forgot to finish an draft blog post on here.
I'm going to go finish that one then finish up this one.
...
Done!
Okay.
Well horrible news. I got my permit. Cool right? Well, I was practicing driving and I got in a car crash. The adult with me is fine but I broke my ankle and have to get surgery. It really hurts.. :( They said it might be life-threatening if I fall again and the blood circulation cuts off.
APRIL FOOLS.
Probably saw that coming.
Well I had Joy over cause we're on SPRING FREAKING BREAK! 8D Anyway, after she was gone we got mail from her. I was about to head to bed and get on my iPod (which I fell asleep with on...sigh) when my mom said I had a weird letter (she saw the outside). Hmm. It read this on front of the envelope:
Heads up-
don't open unless you have enough tie on your hands
Also-
I suggest opening it in your room
O-O
Well even though it was late at night, I was curious. So I ripped it open...
And glitter fell everywhere.
Dude, really?!
I opened up the letter, which caused more glitter to float to the floor, and it read in pretty marker colors:
Jami,
Happy April Fool's Day!
[Early or late...you know snail mail]
Isn't glitter so much fun?! :)
By the way, sorry about any mess I caused.
If and when you read this Joy, you're a butthole. I am so getting you back when you least expect it.
Give her credit though, she came up with it on her own! At least it wasn't *that* much glitter but still...
~Jae
P.s.-I'm doing script frenzy! I'll update you guys but I'm above schedule :)

Common Cars and Prank Calls
Well, I am now 14! Boo-yah? It doesn't feel that much different, just a stronger urge that I should study more my permit test which I am now eligible to take. Driving...jeez. Stay off the roads...
But then again last time we went on go carts (first time I was able to drive my own) I was 2 laps behind the others being careful...heh.
Anyway, while we're on the topic of driving...
Wednesday was my birthday right? Okay, golden actually. My sister was being nice and drove Joy and I to Peachwave (under the condition that Joy had to be Elphaba (I was Glenda) in this Spanish music video of "Popular" (from Wicked) she had to do. Oh teasing her hair was fun...Joy has amazing facial expressions. Pass the point, I walked us both up to the wrong car. Same type of car, wrong license plate and people. I guess I should have noticed it wasn't our state's license plate but I wasn't being observant. I figured she had a friend and that explained the 2nd person, but it took me till I was pretty close to realize it was full of a bunch of people I didn't know. We turned around and walked back, fully aware of the weird looks they gave us as they drove up farther.
Well, the next day I did the same thing. To the same car.
At least that time my sister drove up and maybe they saw the similarity. Hopefully. Jeez i have 4 people giving me like death glares.
Well, hey it's been nice out!

And Happy Late late late St. Patty's Day.
Did you wear green? O-o *pinch*
Only day you can pinch the crap out of someone...unless they're wearing green then that just ruins it.
Well onto the next topic...Prank Calls.
I was at Joys not too long ago and after balancing like a ninja on a tire swing and climbing trees, we decided to do that restricted call thing (you know...put *67 behind a number) and call some friends of ours. We called one of the twins, who didn't answer, then the other. They answered, probably assuming it was important if they called them both. Well, heck I don't even remember what we said. Something about a guy wanting to meet up with her and stuff. I said her full name so they kinda knew it was a joke. But then we did a murder scene through the sound.
Funny thing? She said she might know who it was, someone very "mischievous".
Who me? Never.
I had to suppress my laughs. Later of course it was me. Maybe I didn't disguise my voice well enough, or they just know me too well.
Dang.

I'm Sissy and I Know it...
If you read that blog title, and the song "I'm Sexy and I Know It" came up in your head, you should comment. 'Cause that's exactly what happened to Jovi and I after school. It was fricking 76 (Give or take, the dang weather people give you mixed signals) today! Chance of snow tomorrow. Hah, welcome to the land we call Iowa. Looks like it'll be leveling around with rain and 50 degrees here soon, though.
Taking advantage of this BEAUTIFUL weather, I took my doggies for a walk. Up the hill--where one who only weighs 10 pounds was dragging me--and up to visit a close-living Grandma. I have two dogs, both toy poodles. One's 10 pounds and, wait for it, the other's 5 pounds. We're pretty sure he was a runt. Jeez, we were starting to think he was a teacup. But he was a breeded one, the other we got from our local Humane Society.
Yep. Point is, good weather makes you in a good mood.
**Here's my little story...my friend (not Jovi) and her twin HATE bugs and bees and chiz. Well, of all people (I'm glad it's not me cause I'm just as bad, maybe not as vocal. Yeah they screamed once last year xD), a bee was on her at lunch. Being her best sister and her best friend, we took off running. Another friend saw me laughing, after my moment of holy crap, bee, leave, run, get out happened, and she automatically says "What did you do??"
Ah she knows me too well.
Well I couldn't stop my laughing to tell her at the moment. Now that I think back at it, I can't remember exactly WHY it was so funny. Her expression? The remembrance that just a few minutes early (at lunch...we were in courtyard after) I kept putting CheezIts on my friends lunch bag and later the wrapper, and her very confused face? Hehe, cheeZITS...wow. I'm immature. Yeah, ignore me.
And yeah, then after school one landed on her coat. Well, I heard her in a frantic voice say "It's on my shoe!"
Yet, she tossed her coat down to the ground. On the cement. And I asked her later, she said it was on her coat. Ohh frantic people's thoughts. I swear she said shoe! Anyway, they left it on the ground awhile. And when her sister (she said her or I should do it because we abandoned her, and Jovi stayed. Then we discussed killer bees and if they ever swarmed into Iowa we'd probably run and let her die. Honestly, we probably wouldn't recognize it as a killer bee. Here's my thought process: bug, black, yellow, flying, bee, oh my gosh, stings, ew, run away, get away, freak out...
And that's exactly what happens. Later she said "Yeah, I'm sissy and I know it."
She didn't mean for it to be like LMFAO, but I started singing and Joy (Jovi) was like "I wasn't the only one thinking it!"
Then I started in on I'm Shakespeare and I know it...ahah yeah**
I feel like skipping around right now...heck, I don't know why.I've had quarter tests, and state tests next week. But hey, that means canceling out a few classes for homework! Or...maybe it was the cookie dough I just ate.I love having a sister who's a wonderful cook. I'm afraid my family will stare at me, even though they're used to it.
...I'll be right back.
*moments later*
*skips back in with pink lemonade and a flat cookie in her tummy*
The cookie's need more flower (experimental).
La la la la la...
What else was I gonna say?
Well, my birthday's a week from tomorrow. Fourteen baby! Catorce! Learner's permit age. :))
Stayy off the streets man! ...Make that sidewalks.
Best place to practice? Graveyard. Honestly, you can't kill anyone there. And you can watch little duckies waddle around in the pond, feed them bread (not drive by them...).
Danng those cookies are good.
So, our school is having opera singers come tomorrow? I don't really wanna skip band, but choir is willing and I heard it hurts your ears (especially in our little middle school theater, literally called "Little Theater"...
Opera? Hmm, I'll have to suppress a few giggles. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for all types of music. If you're an opera singer, I strongly apologize. It's just kinda funny.
...Honestly I can't think of the point of this blog post. ((I published this, then remembered. I shall go add the "story" in under **'s :)) I've been off and on writing (interrupted by a family visitor and cookies and so forth...).
Yeah.
Well, chao for now I guess. Well since I don't know half of who's reading this (I hope some are...), maybe it'd be adios.
Peace out.
...mann *groovy voice*
Kunichiwa...
...wait
Bonjour!
I think I've mixed up my greetings and farewells. D:
Bye!
~Jae
P.s- Please check out our co-blog! Three hilarious girls (Oh, *blushes*) all mixed in a blog. Sorry for my little "ads". Just read, follow, share. Thanks, mucho appreciation. I will probably go huddle up in my Mockingjay book now...

"Oh the Things You Can Think"...
Got that right.
"Oh the things you can think, oh the things you can think! If you're willing to try."
Dr. Seuss was like an inspiration to all the writers out there.
Or dreamers (Oh gosh I don't even have to try).
Or artists.
Or designers.
Or just plain weird people.
I proudly inform you I can be put in the all of those categories, especially the last.
Ever had a dream that you thought was completely logical while you're asleep, but when you wake up you go "WTF? How much sugar did I have last night?!" and leads you to think you actually do belong in a mental institute?
Yeah, well...I've got plenty of those.
For instance, last night.
I dreamed I was in Denver (I've never been to Denver in my life...take note of that). And we were going to see the mountains. At first, they looked pretty dang realistic. Normal.
...And then we got to climbing them.
They were so close together! And each one was different. The first one happened to be an easy to climb one, not very high, and when I sat at the top it felt like a hill to be. Not a mountain AT ALL....it was a hill.
The next one was "Mt."....now I can't remember. It wasn't Pike's Peak it was....ah whatever. But it was a REAL MOUNTAIN....hopefully.
And it's a higher one (I think it's supposed to be like 14 miles up or something but it was not very tall in my dream at all. Like barley higher than the other ones), but it was too high so we skipped it.
And then there's the 3rd one...the 3rd one was pink and purple, I believe. All over. That was my favorite mountain. I thought it was so cool! ...and very real. (What goes on in our minds when we're asleep?!)
They went on and got crazier and crazier, like either the 4th or 5th had ribbon, like, going down the sides, and I remember someone telling me they made clothes on it.
Of course, I believed every word of it.
The mountains up close weren't really mountains, they looked like odd, huge triangles. Whatever.
And yeah, that's as detailed as I can go really. Ever notice how quickly you can forget your dreams? Even though they happen within the past 24 hours.
But then there's also the ones that for some reason stick in your head and you bring up when you're late into the night at a friends' house sharing dreams.
One time, long time ago when I still believed in Santa, I had a dream where I was at our local pool. And i WANTED to get to Santa. And he led me through all these obstacle courses or something, ice stuff, in the pool during Summer. Yes, I had met Santa at the pool. It's kinda distance now but I still remember bits and pieces.
And then there's those nightmares. Ever had a nightmare more then once that kept coming back and finally you hung a dream catcher above you to see if it worked? (I think it might've...)
But again, I was little. And scared out of my wits.
I was in this wooden shack with a bunch of soldiers with guns. There were bullet holes in the walls and people were shooting at us.
That scared me. Really bad.
Now, I haven't had that dream in a long time.Heck, I don't really have nightmares that much, except for the occasional one here and there. But hey, if you were a little kid with a dream like that you'd probably pee your pants too. (Not saying I did but it's probably very likely).
Anyways, what weird dreams have you all had? (I'm sure Jovi has one she'd LOVE to share to the readers).
You see, my friend Jovi and my cousin Lindsay and I all have weird dreams....we all sorta fit under those categories at the top. Don't forget to check out our blog, and follow please! Spread it around! :)
