Girl Problems... A TMI Post.
Hello there... This is gonna be a really TMI post, but it's something that I want to talk about.
So a few years ago, when I was at the age of 15 my parents moved us from Queens, NY to Sicklerville, NJ. My brother and I were starting a brand new school and what not so our parents decided to take us on vacation to Florida. We had a great time until the end of the trip. We were in Florida when Hurricane Katrina hit. Obviously most of the damage was in New Orleans but we can't forget that Florida did get hit pretty hard. Once the storm had passed over us, we were able to get out and back to our new home in Jersey.
I started a new school and what not and then my body decided it didn't like me anymore and wanted to do it's own thing. I went about 5 months without getting my period (I know TMI but i warned you), my mother even thought i was pregnant. Then BAM! one day I get my period. I was pretty happy that she would get off my back about the pregnant thing, considering I hadn't had sex with anyone. So then my body really decided it hated me and that it was gonna make my life hell. My period didn't go away for almost 3 weeks. Obviously that isn't normal and if you're body is currently doing that then I recommend heading to the Gynecologist ASAP!
So of course my body started to shut down, I was losing too much blood. I was very weak, had constant headaches, was fatigued to no end. I could hear my heartbeat/pulse as if it were a bell ringing in my ear. Finally I couldn't take it and before school one day I crawled into my moms bed next to her and broke down in tears.
She, like any normal mother, thought that i was faking just to get out of school but she went along with it. She decided to bring up the emergency room as a test, if I declined wanting to go, she knew i was lying. And of course I did, what 15 year old wants to go sit at a hospital over something as embarrassing as her period? But I decided it was best, so she took me and we sat there for hours. Finally they got me back to see a doctor. I got all the normal stuff done and they determined that I was Anemic. My iron level was too low due to the amount of blood I had lost.
They put me on iron pills as soon as I got out of the hospital the next day and a week later I was on Birth Control. The BC is not only protection against getting pregnant, it also regulates your hormones by tricking your body into thinking you're pregnant without actually being pregnant. The brand I took was, one pill last three days, you take one every day for 28 days. The rest of the month which was usually 4 days or so, I'd have my period. Like being pregnant, the pill makes you nauseous and gain weight.
I'd taken the pill for over 4 years when I decided I didn't anymore. That was this past July... And everything was fine until now.
Exactly 5 years later, I'm right back where I was. My body hating me yet again. But I've seem too have caught it earlier even if at this very moment I'm weak, fatigued and have killer headache. I can't believe it's happening all over again but I'm happy I know exactly what's happening because of that experience.
I don't know why I felt the need to write out a whole post about it but idk... I guess I wanted to get it off my chest. I hope you all aren't grossed out... It's a natural thing.... Even if my case isn't oh so normal. Alright awkard turtle. I'm gonna go now lol.

Pranksters
Hey guys :)
So the last two days have been very interesting and hilarious. Thursday was April Fools, so Jen and I decided we wanted to play some pranks on some friends lol.
We started our night by her coming and chilling at my job. It was so slow and extra boring so it was good to have her come visit me. After I closed at 8, we headed to the dollar store where we bought streamers, markers, a balloon, candy, Christina Aguilera tattoos (lmfaoooo) and some other random things. We then headed back to my house and decorated the cone that was chilling in my drive way. Made it all pretty and took it to Nicole's house where we set it up so it blocked her from getting into her driveway. She saw us across the street and we talked for a bit.
We then headed over to Chris' house and put a simple note on his car, along with the tattoos and some candy. Nothing too bad haha. I'm really trying to stay on his good side.
Now the highlight of the night was totally finding Dan's house when he wouldn't give me the address and then wrapping his car in streamers. We ended up calling him and telling him to come out. Where we proceeded to write on his windows with car chalk lol. We wrote things like "I <3 Justin Bieber, hi my name is Dan, tweet me -> @c6D (please go tweet him funny things, he will say funny things back lmfao), food, tight" etc. As we were writing these things at like 11pm, this guy walking his dog comes by and is like "who did you piss off?" We turn to Dan and point "him!" The guy looks at Dan and is like "NICE DUDE!" LMFAOOOO greatest moment of the whole night. I died :)
So anyways we finished it up, talked for a bit and then headed home.
Now last night Jen came back to Jersey and we decided we wanted to try this all again. We went and got more streamers and what not. We headed to the Friendly's in Glassboro to visit Josh. Got some ice cream and as we left he said something about not messing with his car... hahah that was stupid. We didn't do anything crazy, just wrote on poster board and dropped it into his car... Cause he's stupid and left his moon roof open and windows cracked lmfao.
We then drove around for a bit, found some cones to use and headed back to my house. Wrote some funny things on the cones and grabbed tape for the streamers then headed back to Dan's house. Set up the cones around his car and started wrapping streamers around them like caution tape lol. I really thought we were gonna get caught. We finished up and headed back toward Sicklerville.
Went back to Nicole's and put streamers and cones on her car. It was really one of the hardest things to do. Nicole's window was open and we couldn't make any noise. We got it done though and headed back to my house. We finally got back at about 4:30 where we proceeded to leave videos on their walls on facebook. It was quite entertaining. We started getting tired but still stayed awake.
And now we are at the present lol. I haven't slept in over 28 hours. To say the least I'm dying. I'm sitting at work writing this blog and pretty much about to pass out from sleep deprivation. I can not wait to go home and just sleep into Easter lol.
I hope you all don't mind how hurried and not so well written this blog is hahah. I'm super tired. I feel like my heads gonna fall into my keyboard :) so I'm just going to stop now.

Somebody To Love
Hey, I've really been meaning to write a blog lately and just haven't gotten to it. I have work within an hour so I wanna write just a quick one.
A lot of the roller coaster kind of stuff this week. Especially in my so called "love life" lol. I've really become that girl that I didn't want to be. The one who is always paranoid that she's bugging the boy even if it really isn't. The one who always has to start the conversation because she wants to speak to him so bad and he doesn't get the clue. I've never wanted to be that girl but I've become her. It started a year an a half ago and stopped... but it's back. What do I do now though? How can you stop your feelings for someone enough to not be that clingy kind of person? Or how do you just come out and be like "I'm really into you"?
I wish there was a way for him to see it (maybe it's this blog) my way. How do I tell him "I know it wasn't easy the first time but I want to try again"? Not an easy task at all. And the funny thing is that as much as I want it... I really don't want it at all again. I don't wanna set myself up for another heartbreak. I really want to move on. Hell, I have liked other guys since then but for some reason I'm right back in it. It's funny. I want to laugh at myself for being so foolish.
And it's the same thing with friendship. I feel like I'm going in circles. We seem to have the same problems over and over and over and over.... and over again. So why put myself through it again? I need to move away and change my number and etc etc. Lmfao I wouldn't do that though.
This blog is so random lol. It may not make any sense to you but to someone else hopefully it does...
Alright, I ran out of time.

Twitter Break
So Jen & I are in the middle of a "Who can go the longest without tweeting?" contest. It's been pretty good. If anything we've really helped each other along with a ton of teasing lol. I have faith that we will really go far, other than a few desires between the two of us and the usual "If I was tweeting I would tweet that" comments, we've really been good.
We're still allowed to go on twitter to peek at what's happening with the world, considering it's one of the biggest social networks, receiving news is fairly easy. So why cut off that tie to the world? Though it is a major tease. If we are really dedicated, I see ourselves completely cutting off twitter in the future.
I've pretty much come back to Facebook and actually have been able to speak to a few people I hadn't in a really long time. My cousin, Julie, was one. I feel like I haven't actually spoken to her in so long. I saw her last at a holiday party at her house... I can't even begin to tell you if that was either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Like I've said, those months are really blurry lol. So anyways, coming back to that is really helping.
I have the support of some friends and other not so much. I'm the "OMG I'M GONNA TWEET THAT!!" kind so I understand. In all honesty, I wish they wouldn't pick a side though, cause believe or not... we're going to be taking this thing really far lol. Just a warning to all of you actually reading.
Another thing I've done since "quitting" twitter is listen to a lot of music. Something I've always had a passion for, hence all the concerts and people I've been fortunate to meet. I'm a little late with this one album that's caught my eye though. Four months to the date, late actually, but OneRepublic's Waking Up. I finally bought it yesterday and listened to it while reading a review with Jen. I've really fallen in love with it. My absolute favorites are "Secrets," "Everybody Loves Me" and of course their single "All The Right Moves." Amazing album and I'm going to be blasting it in my car everywhere I go :)
Even on the way to Ocean City, MD friday. I can't wait!
Oh yea! Never thought I would be admitting this but... I actually like Bieber. He's definitely grown on me. As a friend told me just last week, "He's the new thing and he will be for a long time, so why not enjoy the ride." You can hate someone all you want for the wrong reasons but one day you will realize they're not that bad and that you never really hated them at all, you were just going with the flow of others. The point in being into music, and seeing a million and one concerts is to be optimistic of the unexpected. The saying "widen your horizons" comes to mind lol.
Anyways, I really like the kid. I was even subscribed to his YouTube once, a few years ago when no one knew who he was and he would sing Usher/Chris Brown covers to "pretty girls like Esmee Denters" :)
Alright, if I don't end this soon, I could probably write a history book of my own.
Have a good day and remember... "this has gotta be the good life" - OneRepublic

P.S.-- I'm extremely surprised I didn't mention one word about Jemi... oops... just ruined that :P
OH! And I love Shanna... That i all :P

Through Thick & Thin
So today has been quite a roller coaster ride, to say the least, and its only 6pm. Between my friends and the crazyness this earth has been through today, I have so much to write about.
I feel like with everything happening and all the destruction and poverty we're facing that everyone should let go of whatever drama they have and come together. Be happy that we live in such a wonderful place and that we are lucky enough to enjoy this life every single day. Cause really some people have got it tough. Appreciate the people you have around you cause they won't always be there.
With that being said, the word "Best Friend" comes to mind. Yes, I have many best friends but not just anyone gets to be called that. I have been through so many friends and yet I make them so easily. I see a "Best Friend" as someone who has seen you at your lowest low and still sticks around. Someone who has stabbed you in the back at least once but you forgive because you know they deserve it. And even though that stab hurts, that's what it takes on that journey to be a Best Friend. Theres ups and downs but your friendship always prevails.
I'm not gonna lie, sometimes things happen and your friendship doesn't really last but it's so bittersweet when it does. And when unfortunately I do lose a friend, I'm one of those people that take forever to let go.
So I hope anyone who reads this really thinks about how good they've really got it, whether it be a big old house on a hill or the greatest friend in the world. Appreciate it cause you never know what tomorrow may bring.
P.S.- Please pray for anyone and everyone who has been affected by todays natural disasters. Thank you.

New Beginnings
Hey guys (:
So I decided on making a brand new blog. I see how successful my friends blogs have become and... not gonna lie, I'm kinda jealous lol. Anyways I though I would take a shot at this again.
But just like my last blog, I really don't know where to even begin...
Well let's start where I left off on the last blog. October was simply amazing. I met a boy that I had no chance with, kind of fell hard for no reason whatsoever. Found out he has a girlfriend and got over it. November is a blurry month... all i remember is a million and one Honor Society shows, an amazing trip to Boston. Being renamed "Bond" and lots of funny pictures. Don't even bring up December or January... I seriously don't remember anything except Maki came, spent New Years with Honor Society and i finally met a Jonas lol. Everything has been such an amazing rush and I am so extremely thankful for it all.
I've slowed it down lately though. I have a new job and school started up again so I've only really been to one concert since NJ&TA. Along with that, there have been a lot of ups and downs in the last month. I quit Jonas World (aka JHQ) because of school and work, which caused a lot of people to question why I'd left, and why Jenno had left. I pretty much wasn't updating as much I should have been and it was because I never had time. I was always so busy. Technically I only have one day off a week, Sunday, which I try and do something fun on. But anyways, I'd come home at 6 or 8 at night and there would be nothing to be updated, so what was the use? I decided it wasn't worth it, anymore. I still love the boys, and my co-owners (considering they ARE my friends). So hopefully that brings an end to that lol.
Anyways... I think that's about it. I've given you a small look into my crazy life. I hope it's just as amazing in the next few months, especially with summer coming up. There's lots coming :] and I hope you stick around and enjoy it.
Comments and opinions are always welcome. <33
