So I've been chasing the sunset for the past few days and everytime I get downtown to the river, I always miss it. Well finally last night, I caught it. Here it is.
There are more pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/xxfragilekissxx under the photgraphy folder.

So, I dunno what has been wrong with me lately. I've b een so damn depressed that ALL I have been doing lately is sleeping, then waking up for class, coming home and sleeping, then waking up for work, coming home and sleeping. It's not been fun at all. I don't even know why I'm depressed....maybe I'm depressed cuz the day jon left I got a $251 cable bill in the mail thanks to him ordering like 7 or 8 porns off of PPV. Yeah, and now he won't even answer my goddamn calls. I'm gonna send him a text message today that says "call me now or I'm pawning your stuff to pay this bill" See how he likes that. I thought we were doing good as being friends but when ALL I ask for is for him to call me and let me know he got to Ohio alright and he can't even do that? Fuck that.....that's not being a friend.
But anyway.....maybe things will start looking up soon, who knows. All I know is that I hope to God they do because this feeling really sucks. I hate being in debt and having my credit fucked up because I was stupid enough to carry someone else's ass for the past 9 months. *sigh* Another almost year of being used....this time for money. You would think i'd stop letting that happen.......

Well folks, you heard it here. Jess is now single again. Some of you may be shocked, some not so shocked but no need to worry because it was really a smooth break up.....I brought up the subject but we both agreed on it mutually. So, the other day we spent most of the day packing up some stuff and getting him moved into the spare bedroom. I have my own room again, yay! hehe We're still friends and things have been going good since.......so it's all good.
On a side note, I had my first and only day of classes so far. They seem okay, minus the health class. Which seems just plain boring. My Video Production class is gonna be soooo much work, but it's gonna be a lot of fun.
OH! Last Sunday me and my mom and my friend Lori from work went to see none other than the hottest man on the planet....TIM MCGRAW!!!!! Omg, it was the best concert I have ever been to. Mmmmm, at the end, he walked over to our end of the stage and TORE his shirt off :P~~~ I was in awe. Mmm. Okay well, it's time to go do some reading for class....I'll try and do this more often.....yes i know i keep saying that.

[17 Jul 2004|08:42am] |
So, I'm gonna try and keep this thing going again, cuz sometimes I just happen to stop. Been having an okay few weeks, I went to the Thornly, Puddle of Mudd, 3 doors dowm, Nickleback concert last night with my brother and cristina, and his friend steve and steve's sister, and it was really a lot of fun. Nickleback definitely had the best show, pyrotechnics and whatnot were awesome. The beer line, however, was entirely too long and I missed Nickleback doing Metallica's Sad but True while I was down waiting for a damn drink. Oh well, I got a smooth yummy Amber Bock and enjoyed the rest of the show :P We got into the parking lot and I reached into the cooler and pulled out a "beer," opened it and took a sip and I'm like "ew what the hell is this?" Turned out to be root beer. haha, Then I put it down and got a real beer, and I heard the guys in the car laughing at me for grabbing the wrong can. I was like "jared why the hell is there root beer in the cooler anyway?" It was funny. After the concert, me and my brother and my mom went to the diner for breakfast and we left at about 2, right before the bar rush came in. That's all I have to say about that, today Jon and I are going to Minersville for Michelle and James' engagement party, so that should be fun as well....and tomorrow it's back to work after 2 days off, OUCH. Here's a fun quiz I did, and it worked out well because I just happen to LOVE U2. :D Peace.

Well, here's the news. My Spanish cultures class that I am registered in for the fall, is run by my really cool professor that I had for spanish 1, have now for Spanish 2, will have Summer session 2 for Spanish 3 and will have in the fall for the above mentioned spanish cultures. Well, he applied for a grant to take the class to Cuba for 10 days, and it got approved! I'm not sure yet how much the trip will cost, it depends on how many of us intend to go, but with the grant, the price will most likely be between 500-700 for hotel, all travel (taxis, flight, etc) and food. That's awesome!!! I can't wait.
Other than that, the apartment hunt is not going very well at all, but we're still trying. Unfortunately, since I have a week and a half to find a place, AND move, I had to call off my trip with my favorite girls in the whole world, and that makes me a very very sad jess :(
The love life is going great, me and my honey are happy like always. He came with me to the hospital to see my new lil neice, and unfortunately we had to make a trip to hospital #2 to see his pap after a heart attack. :( I hope everything is well. I love my Jon Jon :D I've been a very happy girl lately, other than being grumpy about the apartment and stuff. But still happy nonetheless, cuz I have the bestest boyfriend in the whole world and he's silly and makes me smile. Well, Jon's trying to read this now and I don't want him to read it yet, so imma get going.....til later.
P.S. I'll post pics of the BABY very soon!

Subject an open letter to Dr. Laura On her radio show recently, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Law and how to follow them. 1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Leviticus 1:9.) The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus3s:2. The passage clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination? 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24: 10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your adoring fan, James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus Dept. of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia
Ahhh yes, something I found interesting. I know all of my friends out there with an open mind will enjoy this :)

Ugh, I'm just wasting my time right now, trying to keep busy so i don't have time to think about how I'm a retard and I say I don't mind something when I really do. This is what I get for trying to be the nice, non-jealous girlfriend. I trust him, I really do.....I just have class and work so much that even though he lives here, i don't see him much and I wanted him to be here tonight. :( Oh well, ce la vie.
I love him, and he doesn't even know.

It's true, it's a journal entry from me after a long long time without one :P Well, I got new puppies.....Jon and I did. 2 cute dalmations....their names are Daisy and Duke and you can find pics of them at http://photos.yahoo.com/xxfragilekissxx under the pups folders. I love them so much :-D I guess not a whole lot has been going on....things with Jon are great, I <3 my honey very much. He's still the greatest bf in the whole world :) hehehe Oh, so I get this thing in my email today about how I shouldn't buy pepsi because they are patriotic and they have the Plede of Allegence on it without "Under God" in it. Well, I would have no problem with this, if the Pledge had "under God" in it from the begining, which it did NOT. So I agree, it should not have ever been put in it. So anyway, I am just delaying myself from doing this stupid assignment that I was told took like 8 hours to do so i should really get cracking :( yuck. I'll update more, i promise.

It's been a little while since I've updated my journal....mostly cuz the diner thinks that I'm nicer t han I really am and they take advantage of me and keep me hours that I'm not supposed to be there. Blah. Anyway, things have been going pretty good I guess....my mom is starting to either come to her senses about the apartment with jon thing, or just not care, or just realize i'm 21 and she can't really stop me all that easily. Oh yeah, I'M 21!!! haha. I didn't even update a bout my birthday, so here goes. My parents came down sunday, feb 8th and took me and jon, and my brother and cristina to El Rodeo for lunch. Then I worked til 11pm. Some people that I work with at the diner were all like "I'm buying you a drink at 12!" So i said I would go to my house, change, and come back at 12 and they didn't believe that I would come back, but I did. We went to Gilligans....it was me, Jon, two waitresses that I work with (Michelle and Beth), the hostess (Nancy, the cute little Bangladeshi cook Salim, and one of the regular late night customers, Ray. haha, it was so funny cuz I didn't even really know any of them before that night. It was great. So then monday, Michelle called me cuz she needed help to go to the airport to get James, so i took her. Later that night, they came back and we went to red robin for dinner and a drink, and then back to gilligans for a few more drinks. My brother and cristina met us there and bought me some beers and a shot. I was aparantly drunk, but I don't think I was haha. Then on Thursday, Missy, Beth, Erika, Michelle, James, Eric, Jon and I allllll went to Outback for dinner, and it was so yummy! hehe. There were my four birthday celebrations, yay.
I just wanna say congrats to my bestest buddy ever Michelle. I'm so happy for you and I wish you the best of luck in the world. I love ya buddy! And James, you treat her good, and you make her happy, and you're a really nice guy, I approve! hehe Take care of her!!!! Yaaaaay wedding!
Okay now, I'm gonna go spend a lil time with jon before I go to work if i can wake him up. He's so cute, he went to rent a movie last night and when he got back I was in the shower, so I came out, and my room was al candlelit and stuff. dawwww. He's so cute lately, even cuter than usual, hehehe. I <3 my jon jon. Byes!

This is just my random thought for the day cuz I found myself at work this morning daydreaming and being unproductive as usual.
Do you ever find yourself just sitting back and looking at someone without them knowing you are looking and just smiling from ear to ear thinking to yourself.....wow, how did i get so lucky? I've been doin that a lot lately =) I still don't know why or how but all I know is that I wouldn't change it for anything. The past few months have been so much fun and something that's a totally new experience for me and it's just....great. I'm actually looking forward to Valentine's Day for once....that doesn't happen too often. :D I'm a happy girl, happier than I deserve to be. Thank you Jon =) *muah*
Well, off of that.....We're going to tamaqua for the night to help my parents take some wallpaper down and so I can snap a roll of film off for my photography class. It should be pretty fun....and I gotta get goin right about now cuz jon just got out of the shower....later.

Hmm, I'm almost done my second week of classes, and I haven't skipped any classes yet, imagine that. haha. Surprisingly, I actually like school this semester, with the exception of my Journalistic Writing class cuz my prof is a dumbass. Oh well. I'm pretty much poor, so i'm in desperate need for a new/better job, and that isn't coming along so well. Not to mention I'm gonna need to find a new apartment in a few months and I dunno if my dad will pay for it anymore, at least not the whole thing.
Hmmm, Jon and I brought his hamster, Clyde (but it's a girl....my boyfriend is a tard sometimes, haha) to my apartment, and Marzipan is scared to death of the poor little thing. It's kinda funny. I think Marzipan has PMS or something, too...but that's another story.
And for real, I don't smell funny. Jon is such a liar. Except when he says that i'm the best goolfriend a guy could ask for, cuz that's just true. HAHAHA I'm just kidding, but I'm glad that he thinks so :D Cuz he's a pretty super boyfriend as well :D Well, gonna go for awhile, and prepare for dun dun dun....AMERICAN IDOL. woot, hell yeah :D Byes!

I <3 Keith Urban. not as much as my Timmy, but almost.
SOMEBODY LIKE YOU
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do.
I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast.
I'd take, uh, one step forward and two steps back.
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
Whoa here we go now!
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand,
But you're teachin' me to be a better man.
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you. Oooh.
An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man
I see it in you yeah...

My parents are supposed to come down tomorrow and them, jared and cris and me and jon are all gonna go out to eat or something for jared's 27th birthday. He's only 2 months older than Jon, how weird is that :P He's an old man *chuckle* He just said "eff you" he's not too nice :P haha No no I'm just kidding, he's sweet like white chocolate :D Aparantly I'm goofy. I'm gonna type everything he says. I'm retarded too. Hahah okay I'm done. Imma go now, just thought i'd do a quick update while I was allowed on the computer, ha ha ha :D BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Awwwww, my boyfriend may be a smelly dork, but he still knows how to be sweet at times. hehe. It seems that I make him happeh, and that's a good thing, naturally. Surprisingly, after spending literally every day with him since mid-November with the exception of maybe one day or so, I'm still not sick of him *giggle* It's been a pretty long time since i've felt like this, and I'm really glad that i met him :D
So....on to classes. I've officially attended every new class once now, and I think my schedule should be pretty decent. I have Journalistic Writing and Comparitive Religions on Mondays and Wednesdays. My Journalistic professor seems nice, but he either cracks his jaw or grinds his teeth like every 5 seconds and it drives me crazy. I'm not sure which he is actually doing, but it's ucky. I have Spanish Tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. We learned the alphabet today, wow. Yippy. And, I have Nature of Media and Photography Tuesdays and Thursdays. My Media class should be fun, cuz we basically watch movies and stuff, and talk about how they effect society. And my Photography professor reminds me a little of Pauly Shore, he's so little and gets this big old grin on his face all the time. He took *mugshots* of the class today because he says that's how he learns names, whatever. haha. Quote from my Compartive Religions Prof (had him last semester, he's the only reason i took the class): "I figure, if you're gonna cheat in a RELIGIOUS class, you can go straight to hell." haha. I love him, it's great.
Got another Interview on Thursday, for Gilligan's Bar and Grill. HOPEFULLY, this place will be looking for night and weekend help and not days, because I need a new jobby in a bad way, so i can quit my other. Hmph.
Well, I'm gonna go now, and curl up with my stinky dorky (but very cute and cuddly) honey. Who snores, and steals the blankets, and knees me in the back when i'm sleeping.....but hey, we all have our flaws. haha. I'm so mean, but he loves it. :D Later on my peoples.
