PICTURES!

So I am not doing my EPIC blogging sesh about my life recently but enjoy these pictures!


The thing that I really like about this ad I saw on yahoo is the fact that it boldly exclaims "A FULLY ACCREDITED UNIVERSITY" as if this is a great reason to go here. They basically said "Come here because we are a college" It's not a great claim, it's a necessity. Some colleges advertise their great educations, and nice campuses, but not Phoenix. They choose to advertise that they are in fact, a college. It would be if I was selling food and I put "100% edible on the front".


This is an unrelated picture that was on a facebook quiz. I just loved the way it took the 3 absolutely most horrible music genres and asked my favorite. I also love how this was on a quiz that was supposed to tell me my final height. I'm gonna be 6' 11" apparently

I need to blog more on this blog!

I haven't blogged much recently! I guess not much is going on in my life (except boring stuff like family visiting and beastly amounts of homework) other than really personal things. No song of the blog today, I haven't found much new music recently but once I start finding some good stuff again I will certainly let you loyal readers know!

Hey Ben(kenobee)?!

So it looks like someone named "benkenobee" is now following me. If you are reading this ben(kenobee), who might you be? Do I know you ben(kenobee), or is this ben(kenobee) just somebody who found my blog. Either way I am happy, but please comment on this enlightening me to who you are. Thanks, ben(kenobee).

Gifts

I love to give gifts. I don't know why, because I'm not one of those non materialistic give away all your stuff kind of people, I just really love giving gifts. The process of thinking of exactly what will be perfect for them, but they will never expect. My general tactics of prodding them with seemingly casual questions to find out information about what they want. And then just preparing it all. Of course the best moment is when they open it. I don't know why, I just love it. It's like preforming, you spend all of the time preparing and then you give it to the audience and if they love it then you love it too.

I really don't know how to describe it, I just loove it. My gifts are almost always either really thoughtful, or really random (in a humorous way) intentionally.

I think I talked about this a bit in a previous post... here it is: http://theextremelyawesomeblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/random-last-day-of-school-before.html

Alright, well my attempts to explain it have not gone well, but the point remains; James like give gifts.

I haven't blogged in a while! I guess it's just because I have no free time.

Quick update on life: I actually have been feeling pretty good recently. I mean not great, but not terrible. I think of myself last year as a different person almost. I feel like all of my previous accomplishments don't mean anything anymore. I guess it's because of the overwhelming "it was better last year" feeling I've had all year, which has made me feel unsure about everything.

It happened twice today. During the morning I was talking to Sarah about her sister, and how her sister said I had gotten more attractive (she said this last year) and in my head I was like "yeah but now I'm not"

Or we were talking about stand-up and stuff.

Did I ever tell the stand up story? Quick tangent.

So in Australia I developed a stand up routine for a talent show, and it went really well. Then for the thanksgiving dinner in 8th grade I did stand up again, and it went pretty well. Then for a spanish talent show, last minute I decided to do it, and it went really well! Like awesome, thrilling, indescribably amazingly (at least on my part, stand up is an amazing feeling, at least when it goes well). Then biddeford invited me to do stand up for their talent show because they liked me at the spanish one and it went even better!!!! Then at the very end of the year, Mrs. Wakeland told me I should ask Mrs. Farr if I could do it at graduation, and she said I could do it when we get year books.

So I was all prepared, I had a routine with some stuff that people had heard and some stuff that people hadn't (half of the group had heard one part, the other had heard the other, it was a team thing). I got up on stage, and started. Nobody laughed. Nobody. They just talked, and stuff. Oh my god, it was the worst stage experience I've ever had and one of the most stressful in my life. As it went on, I became more flustered and attempted to get their attention but it didn't work. I originally had like 10 minutes of stuff planned. I think I did like, the introduction, one thing in the middle, and the very end and got down in like 4 minutes. God it was terrible.

I really really really hope it was just that they weren't paying attention. Tim said it was because they had heard it before. The problem was I got so stressed out and flustered I rushed through and skipped a lot of the stuff people hadn't heard before, so many the one thing that might have gotten their attention I skipped. Anyway, I haven't preformed sense then, and I hope so much that I didn't lose it and that it was just one bad preformance.

ANYWAY, so in advisory somehow stand up came up, and I mentioned that I had done it. And I sort of felt like my past acheivements meant nothing. I had to re prove to myself that I could do it.

I want to preform stand up sometime soon, Joey said there are local comedy clubs I could try (before 9), I wanna check that out.

Oh, one more thing. So play rehearsals, going decently. Except for one thing. My accent. It is the most difficult thing ever. My current accent sounds like a mix between Indian and Italian. I am supposed to be eastern european/russian. Not going well. Hopefully I will pick it up. We off book (memorized) tomorrow, so I should probably be working on that. Tomorrow should be a good day, no big homework, no tough classes, play rehearsal, and then Hannah's party *Is excited*!!! G'night, see you later

Summer Job

So after leaving you all in the dark about so much of my recent life (LONDON!!!), I will continue leaving you in the dark and make a quick post about a summer job.

My mom wants me to get a summer job. I am sort of indifferent. I would not love having a job, but I am not super against it. Last summer I would have said no because last summer I was hanging out with friends every day. Judging by recent times, it does not appear that that is going to happen again this summer. Instead, I do not know what I will be doing. So far the only 2 things I would say I am sure about (and i'm not even completely sure about then I just think I am doing them) 1.) The high school summer musical (DID I JUST COME UP WITH AN AWESOME TITLE FOR A NEW DISNEY MUSICAL OR WHAT?!?!) and 2.) Going to California.

So the thing about getting a job is, people are doing that now. I still don't know if I really want one or have time for one, but it seems like my mom is going to make me get one either way. Where though? In math ed and Jake were talking about bennets and I was like "oh I should try and get a job there" and they were both like NO which could have been a "We don't want you working at a place I might work" no or a "They don't have room" no. Either way, no bennets for james.

I doubt I will and I know these are kind of generic wants, but I would love to find a job where I either seem my friends a lot, or I know someone who works there. Sometime soon I will go job hunting in the port.

Wish me luck!

Slight change since last post

I have decided it will be more interesting to just make this an "honest opinion" type thing. One of my friends did it a while ago, basically if you ask me I will tell you my honest opinion of you and also anything I feel like I have to say to you.

This is for anyone who wants to just know my impression of you or anything, so even if we are not good friends, and you want to know, then ask! So yeah! This should be interesting

The generic question will be "What do you honestly think of me" so if you send me an email (semajjelin@yahoo.com), message, or anything make that the subject so I will know what it is.

We need to talk

I need to talk with a lot of people. Unfortunately they don't all read this, but if you are reading this, there is a good chance you are one of the people I need to talk to. The thing is I don't want to just engage someone in a conversation because generally they are not going to be very good things. They will probably be things like, why have you been doing this, why do you dislike me now, what has changed sense *some time*.

The point of making this, was if you want to talk to me, like I said, there is like an 80% chance I will have something to say to you, and if you are sure you want to hear what I am feeling/have to say, then ask me because I will be willing to.

I hope this doesn't seem like a desperate grab for attention or something, I just feel like this is a good way to do this, to find out who wants to talk and who would rather not. So yeah, if you are feeling the same way too or are just wondering if I have anything to say to you, then talk to me, IM me, facebook me, comment me, or whatever, but I do think that good will come out of it.

I am so bad at expressing my feelings, so I don't know if you really understood that or not... but yeah..?!
