i wish i could explain myself, but words escape me...
|
| cognition-thought or intellect cognitive development-Jean Piaget (a cognitive theorist) -genetic epistemology-systematic study of knowledge -gain. acquire, use -the human family
**3 stages of cognitive development** 1. sensory motor stage (0-2)-coordination. 5 senses with muscle movement a)egocentric-self centered b)scheme-thought behavior relationship c)object permanence-16-22 weeks-fully developed by the end of the first yea 2.preoperational stage (2-7 years) language development -you learn written language of culture, the conceptual languages, concepts can only be understood when they are tied down to other concepts -language=thoughts=culture -therefore-language=culture -thoughts->language 3.concrete operational stage (7-11 years) -hypothesis thinking-an educated guess -kids learn by doing 4.formal operational stage (11-15) (17) -abstraction, analoges and metaphors
*Lev Vygotsky-socio-cultural approach -the society and the culture in which we live will be responsible for the language and the thoughts we have -language goes through 4 different stages
1)preintellectual speech 2)naiive speech 3)egocentric speech 4)innerspeech-(thinking, talking to yourself within your mind)
-Vygotsky says-language--->thoughts Thought Language Culture
*Benjamin Whorf-lingustic relative hypothesis. -If a language is related to thoughts and if thought is related to culture than culture is related to language so, if:language->thought & if: thought->culture then: culture->language
-if culture has a need for a word they will deveolp that word -language-a flexible system of communican using sounds, utterances, gestures, innotation and inflexion to communicate thought
*3 properties to language: 1) semanticity-meaning of a word 2)productivity-meaning of alot of words put together-ex) sentence, paragrah, essay 3)displacement-the abilty to abstract time-past-present-future -all humans have language -only humans have languge -all languages maintain those characteristics
*NATURE vs NURTURE DICHOTOMY
Nature-biological predisposition Nurture-environmental determanism
NATURE: -genetic predisposition -neurologically hardwire (set up neurologically to use language) -Brocas area (Left tempral lobe)-Broca's area, which is usually associated with the production of language, or language outputs -Wernicks area (Left frontal lobe)-Wernicke's area, which is associated with the processing of words that we hear being spoken, or language inputs -Noam Chomsky-psycholinguistics,(psychology-language)-language acquistion device (LAD) -(LAD)-a deeply seeded, neurologically hardwired something that makes us receptive to language and grammer -innate nativism-inborn
NURTURE: -emergentism-develops over time -you must be exposed to human language during a sensitive critical period-12 years -ferrel children-children who, for one reason or another, have been abandoned by their biological parents in early childhood and raised by not humans
-interdependence of the two theories-"functionalist approach"-Anna Anastasi (1952) -Anna Anastasi says nature and nurture are equal partners in determing behaviorism
*grammer-rules! -phonology-the study of sounds (putting sounds together to form words) -psycholingustics-combination of the study of psych and the study of language -syntax-they way in which we put words together to form sentences-creates meaning-productivity -semantivity-meaning of a word -productivity-meaning of alot of words -displacement-ability to abstract time -pragmatics-participation in conversation-responding appropriately
*developmental psychology-the human development across the lifespan from conception to death -2 parts: -physical development -prenatal environment-before birth-neonate newborn-ex)herion addicted babies
*G. Stanley Hall-the father of environmental psych
-attachment theory-John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth -primary caregiver-attach to the primary caregiver with proximatey (physical closeness) -attachment occurs because of proximatey-(proximatey->attachment)
*HUMANISM-3rd force in psychology -1st force-Psychodynamic-the unconsious -2nd force-Behaviorism-the environment
-Humanism-abraham maslow -self actualization-to fully bring forth or manifest. Being the best human beings we can he and understanding ourselves. To fully development the unquieness of who we are. -we have free will and we are not bound by the unconcious mind -we must take responsibly for our actions (good and bad) -internal locus of control-control over your life -external locus of control-focus outside of me that controls you -respect-you respect and you are entitled to respect-all people are innately good. they have innate dignitiy -authenticity-be who you are -"Be here now!" Rom Das
-self actualization-most important characteristic of a humanist.
*Mary Ainsworth-strange situation technique-The Strange Situation procedure, developed by American psychologist Mary Ainsworth, is widely used in child development research. The goal of the Strange Situation procedure is to provide an environment that would arouse in the infant both the motivation to explore and the urge to seek security. An observer (often a researcher or therapist) takes a mother and her child (usually around the age of 12 months) to an unfamiliar room containing toys. A series of eight separations and...
-Ainsworth studys attachments:
The strange situation: 1. Securely attached child-when their mother leaves the room & a stranger comes in the child stops playing with the toys and are irritated with the stranger. When the mother returns they seek out their mother 2. Avoidantly attached child-distressed by moms seperation but upon return they don't seek out their mother 3. Ambivalently attached child-distressed at mothers seperation but upon reunion they activley seek out their mother and simeltainously reject her. 4. disorganized and disoriented child-confused before, during and after the procedure
-imprinting-natural instictual attachment in nonhumans-Konrad Lorenz -bonding-non instictual in humans-Lorenz
*Hierarchy of Needs-our journey of selfactualization top layer-self actualization 2nd layer-esteem 3rd layer-belongingness needs 4th layer-safety needs bottom layer-physiological/basic needs
actualizating tendency^
*Carl Rogers believes actualization tendency is a tendency humans have to push toward self actualization -all humanists believe in self actualization
-cognitive behaviorism-thougths->behaviors -not related to cognitive behaviorism- or behaviorism -we have thoughts and these thougths drive our behaviors
*-Albert Ellis-rational-emotive-cognitive-behavior therapy -rational thoughts, emotions, behaviors -"rational thoughts will drive rational behaviors" -rational thoughts---->rational behaviors -irrational thoughts--->irrational behaviors -Ellis is a humanist, cognitive behaviorist and rational emotive-cognitive behaviorist
-motivation-motive-a need, desire or want that directs us toward achieving some goal -emotion-affect in psych or feeling that directs us to a goal-perceptions-how we see the world -drive-biological need, desire or want (hunger, thrist, temperature, some sex drive) -all drives are motives but all motives are not drives -instinct-genetically predisposed pattern of behavior transmitted from one generation to the next common to all members of a species and responsible for species survival or individual survival -reflex-pattern of behavior common to all members of a species and it is triggered by the same environmental stimulis
*conflict
1)approach-approach conflict -------> + <-------
2)avoidance-avoidance conflict <---- + ------>

| COULD THE DAYS BE GOING AT A SLOWER PACE?! i dont think so. ill write a real entry when something cool actually happens. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| ive come to the conclusion that i suck. im so down on myself lately. im a bad friend, a bad daughter...Please nobody take this as a pity entry, i just want my friends to know what they mean to me. Danielles amazing. she understands and i think even if she didnt, shed pretend to just to make me feel better. shes a better friend to me then i am to her and i apologize for that.
my dog just came down...stupid dogs. perfect lives. which isnt true, we all know that a dog must have a boring life, but im sure its not just me that envys an animal when we have those points in our lives when we just would rather be barking at cats then worrying.
im sorry to everyone. im not there when i should be. its like im gone now, but i dont want to be. and yes, this is about matt. i love him, i love him more then i think he realizes. i dont make it clear to people how much they mean to me. he probably doesnt know how much he means to me. danielle probably doesnt realize either that i couldnt ask for a better friend. yeah, this sounds stupid re-reading it but all day i felt like crap. i feel like im a sucky friend. i hope you guys understand that hes going to college and were pretty much soaking up all of each other we can before august. one month guys, please dont think were losing touch. i know im being a bad friend, and yes i know the whole chicks before dicks thing but i really hope you guys understand. danielle and i talked yesturday, she understands and she cares and shes amazing. today i found out my moms upset im never home so i feel even worse. im so sorry guys. im sorry im a bad friends, please dont ignore me, i know you wouldnt cause ur all so amazing but i wouldnt blame you. i love you guys...
now i just need to get through to my mom... | comments: Leave a comment  |
| I think everyone believes that i let this journal go down the tubes. nah, its just ive had nothing to write about....i take that back, im too lazy to write about anything. I filled my system with green tea this morning without any food in my stomach, by 5th period i felt like i was going to die. So since my moms not home, by brother and i had to go through this little process until the nurse told me to go home and feel better. As it turns out, despite how much i was about to die, about an hour later i was perfectly fine. I felt bad, like it was my fault and i knew i'd feel better, but ill just have to make it up by doing everything i missed today for tomorrow homework. I watched comedy central and i figured all the ladies in the hizzouse would agree with this quote from some chick. Oh yes, I agree whole-heartedly that this is a ridicious something to put in a jounral entry, but come on ladies is this not true?:
"So i'm waiting for my period. Yeah, and getting really anxious and scared. But i had no reason to be scared if you catch my drift...no reason at all. But come on, all the ladies know, we all at one point in our lives think, 'Oh my God I'm carrying the child of christ'."
oh yea-you all know thats true, we girls are crazy.
Blah anyway..tomorrow will be cool. 6 months with matt. hmmm ive gotta say--pretty long. couldnt be happier either. Then woodloch-this week shall be remembered in history as super-mondo-kablama-fun-week
really?
no.
acutally the really no thing is getting old..i think ill coolify it:
fo' shizzle?
no dawg.
oh yeah...mad gangsta yo.
bye now. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| I'm a lucky girl. A lucky lucky girl.
"thank you friends for the time weve shared I love you all like sunshine and air<3"
Thanks for making me this way guys. Heres to you, for making me a wacky quirky and all around happy person. I would'nt want to be a complete idiot with anyone else besides you guys. Never ever change, not one of you. Youre perfect the way you are. This is in no order so please dont get mad-also if your not on here, dont get mad either, we all know we have those certain people that you feel deserve a livejournal shout out. Oh and sorry guys-but this ones for the girls :)
Danielle- The most amazing person i've ever met. She'll stop at nothing to make everyone happy. Even if that means making herself unhappy. She'll stop what shes doing for you, and just being with her will make you an all around better person. Any problem you could possibly have will be okay if you just talk to her about it-she'll help you. Not only that but shes hysterical and so random. (in the middle of math regents review the picture of martino dancing-i still have that!) Thanks for making me a better person danielle, youre awesome<3
Colleen- Stop copying me. How can I get a better friend? Shes exactly like me, not in every way but dear god so close. My fellow goofball. Someone who was gone through life with me in pretty much every area-from the begining of girl scouts to this year of track. Together through thick in thin. To have inside jokes from the most awful events like at a funeral home ("This leaf bends") to doing the girly event of watching a movie and eating a pint of ice cream after a break up. Thanks for being on the same page and thanks for making me a wacko. Stay spiffy<3
Kristin- Quiet? Please. Promise me you'll never be quiet outside a classroom. Nobody on the planet is as funny as you. You can make anything funny. You put a spin on making people feel better. If I'm ever down you dont say some words of wisdom, you make me laugh-only special and outrageously funny people can do that. Like your way of getting me over chris (by the way thanks for putting up with me during that time in my life) haha i wont write it here, but hopefully you remember. Youre an caring funny person and I hope you never ever change. Thanks for making me silly. youre the best<3
Amanda- Well, well, well. My nickel pimp. Thats exactly what you are, some one who is always there, from the big things to the little things (like dishing out nickels). You'll listen to me no matter what and be serious about it. Then the next thing I know we're crazy, laughing about the most crazy things that no one else would find funny. I mean honestly, who laughs more at the reproductive systems and all their parts? ("cowpers gland" HA HA HA!) Everyone needs that rare-to-find friend that can be serious and crazy at the same time. Thanks for making me kinder. I love my Arizona<3
Christine- Oh my buddy. My wife. My soul sista lol. I was looking at that old book you me and ali had the other day. Remember our dogs? Well Ali had a cat. I think yours was Max? Wow we go way back. All thanks to that fateful show "All my fruits and vegetables" Good times, Good times. From "HIYA!!!" to "Mr. Beef.", From "Look no hands!" to "Ahh a boot!" Youre a great friend and so much fun to be around. I can't be upset when we're together. Youre a caring person that makes everyone around them happy. Thanks so much for being such a good friend through the years. And Thanks for making me a happier person. I love you my wife lol<3
Amandis- What a funny girl. Youre incredibly unquie and I completely look up to that. You have your own style and you can be yourself. We make each other laugh so much over the stupiest stuff. ("I hold my hands and pray!") I'm so glad we got, well i guess you could reunited in that dumbass social studies class. ("So columbus sailed around--WHO LIKES STRAWBERRY ICECREAM!?") haha. And Mr. Manzos class too--oh and how could I forget gym with Mike, haha and that one day during baseball we hung out in the out field and took pictures of him. Ah your a great person. Thanks for making me a hyper person. "where are the cups!?"<3
My sisters of the traveling pants<3
oh and btw-kristins wasnt supposed to be purple, it was supposed to black like the rest but i messed up lol-so she stands out but you all know i love you all the same<3 | comments: Leave a comment  |

| I'm been quite the flake on this thing. well i might as well sortly annouce what has happened to me-the last thing i can remember is amandas sweet 16..ah yes, we'll go from there.
amandas sweet 16- whoa baby fun-ness. i cant dance for my life but i love to do it. especially when all my friends are there. It was amazing, hah and that dj-despite his creepy remark to danielle, he was cool for playing be our guest during dinner. and even cooler was we got effin hats! woo! oh and me amanda and lauren preformed Mr. Brightside cause were cool like that. happy 16th amanda;)
nicoles sweet 16- the next day i had a just as amazing time at nicoles sweet 16-the one she didnt know about until a limo pulled up at her house and picked us all up to go to the city and see wicked. that plays awesome-i love monkeys lol-bc of the tinted windows people didnt know who we were, so everytime we waved they thought we wer celebraties or something-*sigh* good times.
MC relays- only fun cause coll was there-well actually, the track guys made it fun too. We heard about B-nips...hah i might as well write the legend down: "it was andrews first race. Hes feeling good, hes feeling ready, hes feeling pumped! and hes all the way in first. Then suddenly a voice shouts from the crowd 'look out-theyre right behind you.' and he turns. and he trips, and he falls....on his nipples. AND IT WAS THE COLDEST DAY I EVER DID SEE! and he nipples precided to come of." hah sounds stupid but coming from the shotputters its hysterical. Matt ran amazingly and hes so awesome<3
girls meet- monday we had a track meet-a girls one at that. which sucks bc that means no J-Mac, no Andrew, no B-nips, no magerral, and most importantly no matt:(-thats alright though, it was fun ne way. he ran a relay and i thought i was second but crew wanted me first. dandy bc i had my earings in and i needed to rip them off asap so we could start the race. that was a pretty nifty time.
yesturday- hah this isnt even important but---yesturday was another track meet and my darling boyfriend watched me throw-i felt bad bc i know shot and disc is the most boring thing to watch but he came ne way-i love him<3 now i feel its necessary to say colleen lawlor is amazing. i almost peed my pants yesturday bc she made me laugh so much. "move over! your a peein on my boot!---european" "i got hit by a bus and my boyfriend came and stuck his penis in me. this is called sexual healing" "i like my dick.....tator!" "look someone came and took a bite out of the sidewalk" hah i love her

| dont read this
....i know you want to now that i said that but seriously, its boring
*sigh* i warned you:
i had loverly easter in case your wondering. which your not, but hey, ur reading this so you must be interested in something. i supposed my easter started the day before. i was EXTREMELY hyper that night after haning out with matt. were so crazy. idk if i was to write down what we did everyone would think were freaks (stop thinking perverted thoughts btw, cause thats not it lol)so i wont. lets just say i had a great night and because of that i was super hyper. me and my brother were yet to color our eggs, so i called him when i got home to find out what we should do about it. he told me to just sit and wait until he got home and we'd do them then. so my brother gets home at 1. and we start coloring eggs. for the people that tell me that me and my brother are like bset friends i guess ur right. we were insane. and you know how EVERYONE colors at least one eggs by mixing a few colors to see how it came out? well we did all of them. then wrote on all of them with stupid things. i guess were just weird. it was around 3 when we got to bed. the next morning we finally got up at 11 and....blah
blah
blah.
i dont care anymore. long story short my family is cool. OH! and i went for a walk with my aunt and my mom and some how my skirt went all the way up in the back and none of us noticed until a car honked twice. mmkay im done.

| whats that in thing coming thats wayy late? is it a bird? is it a plane? NO! its jeannas rochester update! no effin way!!
yes my sexy mamas...its finally here. but its not really an UPDATE...its a poem. YES MY FRIENDS I AM THAT MUCH OF A DORK THAT I MADE A POEM!
or could it be im uber talented...
nah....im just a loser.
its early morning-lets sit and wait,
for a bus ride to come that we THINK we'll hate,
but once were seated and on our way,
we noticed a boy who might be gay.
how do we know, you may ask,
that this poor boy is a fag?
well it could be he was wearing colls pants,
thats right folks, he dressed in drag!
at our first rest stop we got some food,
joked around about the rod of chester
we wore some spiffy burger king crowns
and nicknamed this poor gay guy just like we did with Lester.
Cornealous was his nickname.
but our interest was gone fast,
cause we soon realized that truth or dare and dirty mad libs,
made this bus ride kick ass.
after 6 straight hours,
of nonstop fucking fun,
we made to our hotel and mixed up our rooms,
but who cares where we stay? rochester is still number 1
that night we watched the grudge,
"watch out for naked asain boys!"
afterwards our elevator went down instead of up,
me and kristin were scared shitless&hopeing not to hear that "uh-uh-uh" noise .
Speaking of elevators that night we crammed into one
and we were so damn loud
we pushed marco out on a random floor
and the security guard said we were not allowed.
we had an awesome night,
i slept with christine *sigh* were quite the pair,
and we picked the perfect bed
because danielle and kristins had a pubic hair.
the next day i dont quite recall,
and i know you dont care,
but ive got to say that the food was great, the mall was fun,
and cornealous was EVERYWHERE!
ah now i remember the second day,
thats when my compition was-guess who it was with?
cornealous. yep he was there,
turns out his name is matt smith.
turns out kristin loves to "PARTAY"
and crazy cloaked men like to stare into our hotel,
flickling lights in the middle of the night isnt a good idea,
but all in all that night was swell.
the next day was awards day and centereach kicked ass,
alot of us won-were such cool cats,
but everyone was a truly a winner,
because we got to party at marcos after that!
we made alot of videos,
i love the last video the best,
"pimpin' aint easy"-but we needed to keep quiet,
cause pimpin' kristin needs her rest.
of course there were alot of other moments that trip,
hell, we even caught a molester,
but the others things that happened our for only the us to remember
because "what happens in rochester stays in rochester"
i love you guys so much.
im rather happy we all met;).
and i know for fucking sure,
that cornealous is a name we'll NEVER EVER forget.
...damnit...im good.
i hope you enjoyed my little poem:)
love you guys

| my journal is nearing its end. its not even like myspace has taken over because i dont really make any blogs or anything. i think im just done with writing about the adventures of my day. whatever. i have to make an entry about rochester but i know it'll be freakishly long. at the moment i feel like just writing something small, which will end up something big. Firstly, and this is the top of the amazinging things list, is the fact im going to see taking back sunday and jimmy eat world concert. i guess im just hyped bc im in love with taking back sunday and the fact that they will be in the same room with me along with dozens of other people makes me tingle. ill just forget the fact other people will be freaking out around me and focus on tbs and myself. im not even sure when it starts, but say it started at 7, well then im making matt get us there by at LEAST 5. its a stand up room, meaning if we got there early maybe we could be by the stadge...right in front of them...oh man im getting the chills. anyways, itll be awesome. speaking of music. listen to this song. its so fucking pretty. it made me cry, is that weird? it reminded me of matt. then theres this lady holding a picture of her husband bc im guessing he died. that unlocked some weird emotions and i just thought about matt and how much i cared about him. then i thought about how much i missed amy. then i thought about my dad. i cried for at least an hour. but not a bad cry. its so pretty. anyways, please listen to it:
http://musicvideocodes.com/?song=2816
pleassssssse listen to it. i heard it on the bright eyes cd and it didnt unlock one emotion, but watching the video *sigh*. anyways the new bright eyes cd is incredible. everyone of the songs are amazing. i love the last song. and the first one....ah all of them. anyways...
hmm...
oh yeah last night i went with matt and paul to see cabaret at newfield. we came late but at the last minute got in. all i can say is it was amazing. the stupidest story line ever. but ther acting was awesome. they had this perfect choreography and it was just...cool. hah im a dork. just they way they did it. there play kicks any play centereach has dones ass. david martinez was in it. beforehand be told me he wasnt the main character but he definetly was. you know that gay guy that comes out and is all like "everyone is beautiful here!" well thats just the lead cabaret guy. he was awesome but not important. david on the other hand made the play. he did great. they worked so hard too. one girl was dancing with a sprained ankle. and david had hit his head the day before and was bleeding everywhere. anyways it was quite enjoyable. matt got really sick during it though. "oh yay its halftime. now i can go throw up." i saw lisa. i love her lol. i felt rather special too. paul told me i was all matt talked about. and this kid kyle was like "so this is the girl whos name you scribble all over your books like your in second grade." aww i love him. anyways, it was a loverly time. they did great. were gay. were doing grease. what the hell is that? how many times was grease done? wouldnt it be cool if we did some really outrageous play like Cats or The Lion King. yeah, then we'd kick cabarets ass. i mean Grease is awesome but even me and marcos (or should i say harold and yolandas) play would be better. okay well this was way longer then i figured it would be. i swear ill write about rochester soon. later<3 | comments: Leave a comment  |

| so yeah. matt picked me up to go bowling today. yay! so were not even a block away from my house and theres a red light so we stop. and since we stopped i thought 'hey! kiss your boyfriend!' and this wasnt even a um...cough....deep kiss it was just a cutesy little kiss on the lips. nothing big at all-AT ALL but then in the mist of looking at each other we hear THUD! so we hit the car in front of us. oopsy. my fault of course. but we didnt damage it-THANK GOD. the people in the car didnt even like....flip us off. or anything for that matter. at all. they didnt turn around. they didnt get out of the car. nothing. not even a...um...fist shake(?) then, (isnt this dandy) a cop pulls up next to us. but, he didnt do anything either. so all that happened was an embarassing waiting for the light to turn green. so yeah...we hit a car lol

| THIS ONE GOES OUT TO MY GOOD BUDDY DANIELLE!!(and all you other loverly people i care so much about)
i can admit myspace has taken over livejournal. i fully and wholeheartedly argee with petes final entry in his livejournal regarding how livejournal is dead, and myspace is the new craze when it comes to the computer. Im sorry for this, but honestly, livejournal has been defeated by myspace. Danielle is certainly right as well. If I am to have a livejournal, I should update it. A lot of things have happened since my last update, but nothing worth mentioning either because it was so memorable, or it was something that isnt necessary to write about because its over and shouldnt be brought up again. I can say this though, Im living a good life. The 24th is matt and i's 3 monter. Of course thats about a week from now, but i guess I'm just so hyped up about it that it seems like a shorter period of time. I love him. It may be puppy love. It may be high school love. But ive never been happier. I think about him morning noon and night and ive never cared so much about one person. Hell, I didnt even know it was possible to care that much about a person, and its the best feeling in the world. I love Matthew Anthony Martinez<3 I dont mean to bring down those people without valentines but always remember that when your sitting in your kitchen, shoving your face with chunky monkey while wearing your slippers and the most unattractive pair of pjs you can find, there is someone else out there, doing the exact same thing and you WILL find that person. Believe in love. Believe that there IS someone out there. and no matter what never let the thought that youre all alone and always will be cross your mind. If your reading my livejournal right now then youre still young and theres so many people in this world, looking for love, because when it comes down to it, theres a VERY rare amount of people in this world that dont want to get married and have a family. Everyone wants love. So this valentines day keep in mind that this person for you is out there thinking the exact same thing. Youre amazing, you may not think it but youre amazing. And there is someone out there that will click with you no matter what you may think. Okay well im done with the love affect...but if you dont have a valentine and youre still down about it:
I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!! YOU SEXY SEXY BABES;)
(oh btw, this entry was about danielle, it was just because she asked me to update, lol danielle doesnt need help in loves, shes too sexy;))
good night new york

| its been a while huh? hi. how are you? thats nice. i could write a gazillion things in this journal about friends, matt, school etc, but alas, i REALLY REALLY dont feel like it. my journal is going down hill most definetly. so i guess ill just write a little blurb on each random topic.
friends: my friends still are, and will always be the coolest people in the history of forever. the DECA trip was...disapointing but im over that. besides the actual compitiion i had a great time. "drink jeanna drink...PHYSCE"(hah idk how its spelt) lol and marcos wonderful words that kept me laughing everything he said them-"swing it over hither mr. DJ" put kristin and marco together and its the most fun you will ever have.(the camping trip was rather interesting. actually, screw that, i had a great time. so many jokes from that one-"hey you!...hi..."-the password is fried chicken...HAHA we changed it!-3am pigging out-CAPTAIN SHARK BAIT(well, truthfully it was spelt bate on the mask lol)-pimping goose-the bubble game;)-carrots-"my eyebrows are bushy...like men...DANCING!!" lol and me amanda and lauren are the coverups. apparently i looked like a hyper 4 year old but i dont care that was awesome "...while hes having a smoke and shes taking a drag"-all in all my friends are better then anyone on the face of the earth. hands down.
matt: still the best boyfriend ever. yeah thats right. as appose to every other male on the planet, he doesnt suck. hes the sweetest nicest guy everrrrrr<3<3<3 not to mention hes so fucking cute. i know nobody cares but just skip it then, ill continue typing about how much i love matthew anthony martinez. even though he steals my words and is going to kill me one day because of the whole belly button thing. hes so amazing and nice and cool and hey, for once hes the kind of guy that you can talk to, and will listen, and actually be able to make conversation back-wowie zowie the male species should really look up to this kid. I went bowling with him sunday, "bring it bitch"-"im distracting you"-"im using my powers to mess you up" dont slip and fall matty;)-oh and then russell almost gave us heart attacks. we were in his car and i was calling my mom and russell, who we saw about a minute beforehand in the bowling alley, rams into the side of his car and starts screaming. lol it was funny though. then the next day i went to his house. hah it was so silly, his dad is a cop and told matt he broke someones arm and matt just started laughing hysterically and then his dad just smiled and me and matts mom just looked at each other lol. matts little brother chris is beyond adorable, i love him too lol.
school: I LOVE IT!!! really?!? no....
im done

| Take the quiz: "WHO ARE YOU FROM NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS?"
 Sally YOU ARE SALLY! YOUR A WINEY RAGDOLL WHO IS INFATUATED WITH JACK.BUT YOUR COOL.....YOU ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS...BUT YOUR SALLY...
we'll live like Jack and Sally if you want to...<3
im sorry but seriously, the nightmare before christmas is in no way a love story, and what are they doing nowadays? making it out to be a bigger cutesy lovey dovey story then Lady and the Tramp. I mean i love blink 182, but ther so wrong. Ther basically saying we can live like I finally noticed you exsited and decided i wanted some action on a crazy ass hill. I mean honestly, the movie is just her trying to escape her master and Jack trying to make christmas and she trys to warn him because she has feelings for him and he copletelty ignores her the entire movie. Then its over and there on top of that curvy hill and hes all "Sally, I never noticed how..." yeah idk exactly what he says but he compliments her in some way and she goes completely gaga and they kiss. That is not a love story. It's almost like since Disney really doesnt have a movie without a one creature/person/toy or another falling head over heels/paws/plastic boots for another they deciede just to squeeze that scene in there bc honestly, it really doesnt follow much of the movie...except when she stalks him. Yeah it was completely necessary to go on that rate bc one i wrote those lyrics i just had to write this. Jeez, please somebody tell me they know what im talking about.

| So for those of you who don’t know...my grandma passed away. Heh, it sounds pretty silly considering she’s been gone for over two years. The only thing that clicks my memory to what she was like is the piles and piles of home movies my dad has been continuously watching. It’s pretty sad that he’s spent the last few days in our backroom on the same chair, laughing slightly only when he’d see something cute on the television that would send him memories of times that “once were” and only getting up a few times a day. Then again, if both my parents were gone I’d be too distraught to even leave my bedroom. It somewhat seems that he’s taking this worse then when his father died, which I don’t really understand. See, the way my grandpa went out was pretty upsetting. Nobody expected it, the doctors said he could go home from the hospital the next day. Apparently nothing was wrong with him, so honestly, I didn’t care. I mean whatever he’s just sick, and because of that I never really “got to say goodbye”. I remember before he went to the hospital my mom, who is a nurse, asked me to take a ride with her to go check up on him. My grandpa lived in the basement of my aunts house. That sounds rather disgusting but trust me it was fixed up to a T and everything had a place. Basically it was like an apartment equipped with two bedroom, a kitchen, a livingroom, two bathrooms, a room with a pool table, darts, and a ping pong table, and a very small, discreet room where my cousin Louis could go down and practice the drums and guitar. Unfortunately, my cousin Louis was actually playing music that day, and since I really didn’t think a thing was wrong with my grandpa, I didn’t even say hi and just went off to hang out with Lou. Two days later, much to everyone’s disbelief, he died in a hospital bed. We’re over that, even though when it happened it was hell. Nobody could really take in the fact he was gone and then...there was me. The one who cried only the day he died. I just sat in my cousin Christine’s room and bawled until my mom came in, drawing attention to me and then of course the whole friggen family is in there when obviously I just wanted to be alone. Now that...that was tragic. But as for my grandma, well, completely different. My grandma had, had two tumors, about six strokes, couldn’t walk, and could barely talk, and from my point of view, that’s no life. See, I don’t think the term is alive, if your not technically “living”. So for the past two years, a chair in a nursing home was my grandmas life. I can honestly say I’ve never been heartbroken about this. I’ve been wondering if I ever realized she was basically in my own terms “gone” but I guess it never hit me. I guess she was never “gone”, but “slowly leaving”. It’s pretty much a blur what my grandma was like, and what’s the sense of holding on to a blur? To put it into a more understandable way, my grandma was taken awhile ago, and her body is what was left. Cheery huh? Well anyone who reads this knows I am a cheery person, so that pretty much proves that I’m not being grim, I’m being honest. And after two years of, you know what screw I’ll just go on and say it, of being a vegetable (god, I hate that), I would have figured my dad’s mother dying would be a somewhat relief on him and my aunt. I was obviously wrong. I’m starting to think deeper, I mean Matt does and he really comes up with some good points, so now I’m trying to figure out this whole death thing. Why does it have to be so sad, especially with my grandma, who’s up there in heaven, talking and walking and with her husband. It’s like life is just a test run for heaven, and when God see’s you just cant take this like “test run” anymore he’ll let you come to the real deal. Yeah, it’s kind of silly, I guess I’m not a deep person, but it makes me feel better. What makes this whole experience worse for me is how these movies are on day after day. The screen fills with all these memories that should and are supposed to make me happy. Sure there are some things that was cute and funny, but my grandpa is in a lot of those silly little video camera-ed creations. Those stupid movies made me think. I forget about my grandpa. I forgot how he sounded. And I know your not supposed to want to forget, but after all this time of a blank mind where my grandpa’s memory should be and then a sudden burst of everything he was...well it’s kind of hard to take because I really miss him. Now I have one grandparent left, who’s sick. No one is admitting it but I think he’s dying. Well everyone is dying but seriously, this isn’t “live-your-life-to-its-fullest-because-it’ll-be-over-sooner-then-you-know” bullshit, it’s the real deal, it’s the “any-day-could-be-his-last” kind of stuff. Yeah it’s sad, but I don’t think anyone should compare the way I’m technically “dying” and the way he is actually dying. I mean, you’re not supposed to compare some girl who complains about running to her grandpa who would love to be able to run without his heart giving out. Uck I sound so depressed...I’m really not though. Anyway, My grandpa is 79, still has a job, works everyday, he’s crazy. For his 80th birthday he wants to jump out of a plane...yeah my grandpa is cool lol. Yep, parachuting out of a plane, my grandpa kicks ass. And yet, it’s pretty sad considering we had quite a scare around November when he was in the hospital. My mom didnt think he was going to make it...I hate it when people say that. Just those words...they shouldn’t be worded like that. But he did. He made it. Heh, thats worded alright though lol. So anyway...Italian people are absolutely insane. See, I have a very big Italian family. Plus all those crazy friends of the family, and of course us italians follow that stereotype that italians love to eat, so that means sooooooo many people came to our door with so much food. I’ve calculated within the two days after she passed away, we received, a big tin of strawberry pastries, a giant (im not even kidding its huge) box of chocolate, a big thing of cookies, two cheesecakes, salad dressing (?), two boxes of crackers, cheese, two bottles of sparkling cider, Baked Ziti, Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, some Italian heros, little chocolates and candies and um...yeah more cake. See, I have food loving, Italian speaking, extremely loud family. I’m pretty proud of that too...besides I have to be, I’m spending the next four days with them, which is nice. My grandma died on new years eve so we went to the newlyweds (Lou and Stef) house and spent the night there. That was nice. Some of my family came over yesterday and we had dinner and watched some home movies. Yeah, pretty lame...but I wouldnt have it any other way. I wont be in school until at least Thursday. Talk to you guys later. -Jeanna | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
