Broken concrete and RICE!!

Wow, I’m sad! Yesterday, I tripped over a pile of broken concrete in my backyard and twisted my ankle!! Aside from that, I was stabbed by all these thorns that I fell on, so my hands were bleeding!! My ankle wasn’t so bad yesterday, but I woke up today and it hurts!! Ouch!! My ankle is swollen and I can’t walk on it!! This really sucks! Not just any ankle either, its my driving ankle…well, my ankle doesn’t drive, but it is my right foot, which means I can’t drive until all is well! So, hopefully, it isn’t that bad, and I will be fine by tomorrow!! I hope so!! Ok, my white blood cells need to work overtime today..no lunch breaks. Wait, do white blood cells have anything to do with healing wounds, or do they just protect your immune system? I am sure that is a stupid question, so as soon as I find the answer, I will erase that! LoL, ok, back to the ice!
P.S. This is no laughing matter!!
P.P.S. Wait, now that I think about it….don’t white blood cells only attack bodily infections…So, all I can really do is ice it and elevate it above my heart, and rest. OH YA!! RICE! Ha, I learned that in Health. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation!!) I’m smart!

The Troll Who Made Me Tap

Hi everyone! I am very pleased to say my webby(website ) is up and running once again! Ok, this blog is NOT going to be long. Seriously, I am only going to write about my short little dream…

So, I had this dream that I got this job as a ninja for this furniture store. You know that story, “The Three Billy Goats Gruff”? (I know my ASL friends know it You know the troll who lives under the bridge in that story? Well, my job description was to go down to that troll everyday, with a few of my other ninja colleagues, and just kick the crud out of him…and if we beat him up, then he would have to buy furniture from the company I worked as a ninja for.

So, anyway, I was at my first day at work, and I was really nervous, because I had never been a ninja before…so my colleagues told me to just try to stay behind them and they would do the work and I could watch. We made our way, surreptitiously(as ninjas do), to the bridge and they jumped off and were doing back flips and cartwheels and all that jazz. I just thought to myself in a melancholy manner,
“I can’t jump from extreme heights, and I certainly can’t do back flips like that. I am never gonna make a good ninja.”
So, I just stayed behind, and tried to look like I was participating in the battle…Well, during the fight, that troll rushed right up to me and started clawing at me. I tried to fight back, but I was hypnotized by his hideous appearance. He kind of looked like Blanca from Street Fighter, only his hair was an ash black, and it draped over his face as if to hide his festering warts and sad eyes. He somehow got me in a rear naked choke and after an hour and a half, I tapped out. So, in conclusion, I lost to the troll on my first day of work, and he didn’t buy any furniture. So, I was pretty disappointed and as we were walking back to the store, my colleagues encouraged me and told me,
“Don’t worry, you’ll get him next time. Its only your first day on the job.”
My boss just frowned and said,
“Hit the showers…and you better bring that troll down tomorrow or you are dead meat… dead meat like yesterday’s cow!!” I think the “yesterday’s cow” bit was a sorry attempt to portray a quick and witty humor…he smirked, however, no one else laughed.

The rest of the dream, I can’t tell you, haha, because it was pretty weird…er!! Well, this dream was kind of like Power Rangers, Street Fighter, “The 3 Billy Goats Gruff”, Final Fantasy and a Banner Mattress commercial fused together! Anyway!!! I know my last few blogs haven’t really made much of any sense….I have no explanation for that…Even my dreams are random .Oh, btw, some people were asking me what happened to that bum guy in my last blog. (The one who wanted to become a tree to retrieve the girl of his dreams who had turned into a star). Well, I haven’t seen him yet, but I am planning a trip to Galbadia and when I go, I will stop by Fisherman’s Horizon, visit his cardboard box and ask him about it. Ok, well, I applaud you if you read all this!! <3 Jenna <3

Your Daddy Is Darth Vader

What You Call Him: Daddy Dearest Why You Love Him: He gives good spankings

You are Milk Chocolate

A total dreamer, you spend most of your time with your head in the clouds. You often think of the future, and you are always working toward your ideal life. Also nostalgic, you rarely forget a meaningful moment… even those from long ago.

Only a Tree Can Reach the Stars

Oh wow! Is she writing a new blog? Yes, I am! Haha, I haven’t written in a while for a couple of reasons. Ok!! The Commodores are cool!! Yes, very very very cool! Also, guess what has finally been invented?? Trial-size Lysol cans!!!! Yes, this is so great!! Now I can push a grocery cart without being exposed to twenty different diseases lying on the surface of the handle!! Now I can touch doorknobs and use phones without millions of tiny germs crawling all over me!! Haha, please use this product so that they do not take it off the market! Ok?? Also, I want to see Wicked so badly!!(Its a musical!) I keep seeing so many cameos and ads for it! I want to go see it so badly!!! Ok, also, I am going to write short stories about Irvine Kinneas and me! LoL. Really!! I’m going to post them up here, on my website too!! So, look out for it! I will tell you when they are up! You know, to be honest, nothing very amazing and interesting has happened to me these past few weeks…at least nothing that I can share openly! So, I am going to make something up! Ok, well, last Tuesday, I flew down to Fisherman’s Horizon and as I was walking, I saw a bum eating a piece of soggy wood! So, I asked him why he was eating wood, and he told me that he wanted to turn into a tree. I thought, “Gee, that really doesn’t make any sense…just because you eat something, doesn’t mean you become it!” Well, I really had nothing better to do (besides go down to Balamb and visit all my buddies!), so I sat down next to him and asked why he wanted to turn into a tree.
“Not just any tree!!” He exclaimed. “I want to be the biggest, tallest tree in the world!”
“Oh really, and why is that?”
He went on to tell me a story about this girl he met in Winhill and fell in love with a decade ago. They planned to get married in Balamb the summer after they met, but they never did. He said one day they were laying in the grass together, admiring the scintillating stars, when a shooting star bolted out of the sky and landed, less than gracefully in the girl’s open mouth. She jumped to her feet, choking on the luminous ball of plasma! Finally, she swallowed it and started laughing. They both started laughing…until…brilliant rays of light began bursting through her pores. Her eyes turned a cold blue and her hair was a glowing flame. She floated up, towards the sky. He tried to grab her, and pull her back down..but her flesh was too hot to touch. All he could do was watch her float up towards the sky, until all she was was a bright and blazing star.

“So, you see,” he concluded, “the only way I can find her, is if I can reach her…and the only way I can reach her is if I am a giant tree. Then I can stretch out my longest branch and bring her down.”
“How will you know which star is her?” I wondered.
“She is the brightest star with a soft pink tint…” His voice lingered and he began to ignore me…gnawing on his piece of wood while gazing with a promising eye to the heavens.

I got up and walked away. I hope he does turn into a tree! That would be splendiforous!! Don’t you think so!? If you actually read that completely random story, I thank you! Haha, I have much love for you! Ok, bye! <3 Jenn <3
