What’s your excuse?

She just said,
“Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you!”
So I said something to the effect of, ‘Aw, thanks honey.”
She replied, “OK now say it back TO ME!”
lol.

I couldn’t stand the alien pic being the top of the website when it opened, so I decided to throw this on here just to break it up:

…and I ran across THIS freakishly awesome thing! (I also took a new one and threw it in ’schlepped some on here’).

I don’t know WHY ON EARTH I took it, but I decided it might be cool to not have ANY makeup on, pull my hair slick back off my face so I looked bald, and just take a pic. I think it looks alien and creepy and you can see up my nostrils which is awkward (you never are supposed to take pics from below the person, they always turn out no-so-good). Too bad I had it off angle a tiny bit so it looks like I am missing an ear… but whatev. Freakishly awesome is freakishly awesome!

I found some other freakishly awesome ones, too, but decided I should just take newer, more freakish ones to post because at least they will be up to date. OK:

Not really. It’s as real as that spoon you’re holding. What spoon? Exactly. PICTURES!

Here is a link to my flickr if you had a burning and yearning for more Jeni (and if you *do* have burning, you might want to have a doc look at it lol that doesn’t sound healthy haha).

All warm n shizz.

Aww, and to think people call me 'grammar nazi'. With a face like that? Gawww

“I’d like to steal this blog?
It should be passed around
like a cheap, yet wise and sophisticated whore”

RE: A Mirror

LOL.

More to come!

Update: I sort of fixed the repeating string, but it still shows up on the mouse over. meh

A month has passed…
In the frozen land of Nador, you were forced to eat Robin’s minstrels.
And there was much rejoicing.
Winter changed into Spring.
Spring changed into Summer.
Summer changed back into Winter…
…and Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn.
And then one day…

JENI CAME BACK TO HER BLOG.
xoxo
Missed you all. Thanks for the comments! I’m sorry to have neglected it for so long. Thank you for continually checking in and being the invisible support system that I am known notoriously for needing!

So, updates? I’m rad - I have the cutest little girl on the planet - Yeah. That’s about it! Here are some photos of rad/cuteness:

kthxbai! (beware Raptor Jesus!)

Marisa and I had some fun this weekend… here are the results!

Careful… she might be in your garden with red fingernails! You never know!

Aw she is such a pretty garden gnome.

Do you grow Paramore melons in your backyard? I do!

They take extra love and care and look fabulous next to yellow flowers!

Me sprouting with a green filter!

Me sprouting with a red filter! I can’t decide which one I like best. /shrug!

The photo just turned out with such fabulous hues! I want to eat the colors like candy! … I know what you’re thinking, and NO I’m not and I wasn’t. *stern look*

Punky garden nun? Huh.

Keepin’ it real.

Freakin’ awesome-est pic ever of her. Like, in my top 5 favorite of all time prolly. Is that giving myself too much credit? BAH! Who cares! It’s beauteous!

Her eyes are just SOOOo bright!

FanTASTIC colors to play with.

Does anyone wanna go to Lagoon!?!??

This one *again* but this time in color!

Peacock feathers are purrrty

Everyone knows I’ve been a zombie lately right? Well, here’s proof. Hot proof. Eat it up.

FILLLMMMM GRAAAIINNNNN GAAARRRRRRR!

I have orange eyes! It’s fantastic!

You know what I like here? I might be a complacent zombie… I might be terminally ill… it might just be a pic that highlights my undereye circles… but regardless it is really aesthetically pleasing to me. Like, if it wasn’t a picture of me I could see myself being friends with the girl in the pic. Like, hey, you look kind of sick… would you like some flowers? Maybe some jokes? We could listen to Dane Cook together? Laugh it up? Good times? Oh! You aren’t sick?! In that case… wanna go polish off a case of cold beer while playing some good tennis? I get first serve! Can I call you BB? Like.. short for zomBIE and then with an extra BIE sound cause it’s cute? Ok good. I’m glad we had this chat.

Just in case you need an extra EYE. I have one, and it’s quite pretty… but then there is a blurry peacock feather over the other one because it probably looks pretty rad.

BAAAAAAH I love gold sparkles and birds. *giggles*

Exotic? Crazy eye? Whatever it is… I heart it. That’s Nashtastic!

More on flickr. If you check them out… add me as a contact! WOOHOO!

Ok, not really. This one time, on a Sunday afternoon I had the opportunity to spend some time with one of the most talented and inspiring individuals I know. The best part? She totally put up with me!!! There are photos to document it - and they are freaking fantastic! She is SUPERB! SU-PERB! As a bonus I’d like to throw out that all of my RADICAL outfits were purchased on a whim at D.I. the day before when Shauna and I had a D.I. excursion. They turned out to be fabulous purchases! Anyway, without further adieu, here is a link to the fabulously talented MarS Vasquez Photography blogspot and her professional website so that you can book your own shoot! DOOO IT! IT’S FABSAUCE!

It’s mid-August and MAN home grown food is good! I’m just happy to enjoy some garden fresh peas’n'raspberries! Freaking deLICious!

Thanks to Mookalicious for the proof and suggestions; here is my latest piece of shattered expression that somehow choked its way out of my tight throat. Let me know what you think!

Familiar safety
to what end?

some blissful naivety makes uncertainty my worst enemy
words start haunting me instead of tucking me in…
goodnight self! will you find you again?
this lullaby is in shards and I fear who I will be
when I wake in the morning light

I’m forever sleepless or sheepless; either way I’ve isolated myself…
surrounded by words-thoughts-phrases
sharp like traps sprung on the unsuspecting
waiting for their next victim like assassins in the dark

20 minutes or hours, a drop in the sea
all the while my breathing is steady and calm…
a tiny crack in my exterior never noticed by onlookers
signifying my own undoing and yet I tuck myself in;
eyes close as I am enveloped in frigid water

the forced comfort of razor blades ringing in my ears
here I am rationalizing familiars again
using sheep coined phrases concerning bliss
lying to myself is my only respite
I pull this wool over my eyes

three small words overused yet underrated
my poison or medicine depending on the dose;
a recovering junkie perilously comfortable to coldly abstain..
but an old familiarity is lingering in the air
its sweetness brings temptation to relapse near –
in the end addiction is my only fear.

Today I am sunburned and lazy, but I *did* get to wear my new Serenity shirt. YAY! It says ‘Sihnon Companion Academy’
