Jude Is Rather Excited for Groundhogs Day As Well :)

Hey guys!

Have you ever seen the movie 'Groundhogs Day'?  If you haven't, it's pretty fun.  I highly recommend it!

I'm glad your Valentine's day has turned into something a little bit happier, Ezra!  I'm still going to send you both Valentine's though, just because they're fun :)  I've got plans for those little Valentines!

Crazy question, but do you guys remember when we were at Jefferson and they had these white paper bags that we were supposed to decorate for Valentine's day and then handing out Valentines was mandatory?  I'm kind of glad that that part of our lives is done... Singing Telegrams are much more fun!

I'll make sure there's a picture from before the dance taken and then I'll post it here afterwards. My height will be more proportional to Jack's this time (at least I hope)!

You know, the Jesus guy never said anything about Hitler.  I'm kind of glad he didn't, because I would have been a lot more freaked out if he had said it.

I've always wanted to mess with people that talked to me on the street.  I've never had the guts to actually do it though.  I've always contemplated speaking French to them, since more people know Spanish, I'm guessing, so they'd be more likely to be confused.  Hopefully that guy didn't bug you again after that, Ezra!

Avery, your brother comes home a lot!  And in the most interesting ways too :)  Congratulations on your engagement to your brother's friend!  Can I be a bride's maid?  I'm so excited!!!

So Avery, can you go to Underwater World?  If yes, we should figure out a date.  Jennifer Maloney can go too!  Hurray!  Yikes... admission is about $20 per person... what do you guys think about that?

I hate it when you have a favorite part of a movie and there's no screen shots online... it's really annoying!  Same thing with YouTube clips...

AJ is beautiful <3 !!!!!!!

Okay, I really must go to bed now... I have to get up to make who knows what kind of food tomorrow for a trip I'm not going on... oh well.  Someone else can benefit from the money so... yeah, either way I have to be somewhere to make food.

Night night!

Valentines Day Sulk is rapidly approaching....

...though it may be a tad less sulky this year, because me and my friend who used to have great hair are baking anti-valentines day brownies the weekend before valentines day :)

Jude, your dress is absolutely beautiful :)  I want to see pictures of you in it!!!

Also, I've never been to under water world before... I would certainly like to go! :)

OMG is the Jesus guy also saying that Hitler is alive and building bombs and hiding them in an abandoned warehouse in north minneapolis????  Because if he is, I think I've encountered that guy!!!!!

And this one time there was this guy in like a freaky african-looking robe thing with a sign written in several foreign languages who was talking to a video camera and I made the mistake of walking in front of him and he said "excuse me, young lady, did you know that America is going to be destroyed soon because the sins of white people?"  He legit said that!!!!  Instead of running, as I should have, I said "Ummm... no, I did not recieve that memo."  He said "Well, if you know what country your father is from, there may be a chance to save you..."  I said "My father is no longer alive, and I have no clue where his ancestors are from."  He looked kinda pissed when I said that, so I just ran away before he could say anything else.

Okay, Jude, here's a few pictures of AJ from Empire Records:

*sigh*
I tried to find my favorite pic of him-when theyre kissing on the roof and Corey pushes his hair back.. *girlish squeal*- but I couldn't find it :(

He's actually about a bazillion times more attractive in the movie :)

OH MY GOD I WANT TO WATCH THAT MOVIE NOW!!!!

I'm gonna go watch my so-called life and empire records 'till I drop dead of exhaustion :)

Bye!!!!!!!

Unexpected Guests Part 2

Hello!
Well, I bet you remember Megan, when in the middle of the night Adrian and his friend Mike came in and I thought that they were buglers? So I thought that my mom had come in the door (it was about 6:30) and I said, "mom?" cause she usually says hi when she comes in and I heard "ahum" in a very fake girly voice. I look over and find both of them standing there smiling at me... what a weird family I've got. But then we starting talking and I made them waffles! :) I like to be helpful. Mike was pretty funny. He was very happy that I had made him waffles and he said, "Man, I wish I had a sister!" He looked at me and said, "You know what? Lets get married, you wanna get married?" I laughed and said what about his girlfriend? He told me that they had broken up and that I shouldn't get a boyfriend and he kind of went on a rant about that... :) I love strange company!
(Sorry Ezra if you don't know any of these people)
~Peace

Dresses Underwater

This post is comprised of large pictures!  Hurray!

 First of all, I wanted to show you the dress that I ended up getting, but I only showed you the ones I found while window-shopping.  What do you guys think?

Senor Jack just needs to remember his permission slip and then we're ready to go.  I'm so excited!!!

To touch on previous subjects...

1. Avery, I would definitely love to go see the Oatmeal and squeal like a little girl in March!  I never know what to say to authors/other famous people, but maybe this time it'll be different!  I'm excited!  It looks like it's at the U of M and I'm pretty sure I know a vague way to get there.  I've taken a bus from my mom's work to the U campus, so we could probably do that.  Hopefully we won't run into the "second coming of Jesus" guy. Did I ever tell you about that?  I think I told a couple people... we can talk about this more in school too.  March 21st is a Monday (I guess this is more of a mental note for myself and for you if you want it).

2. Regarding the potential occasion I mentioned in my hand-written letter (and also the picture above, which I did not take with my camera or anyone else's camera)... Would you guys want to go to Underwater World in the basement of MOA with me sometime?  It might be kind of fun to do sometime.  If not now, maybe sometime during the summer?  I haven't been there in ages and it was so cooling to pet a sting-ray and not die :D  After we're done there, we could always wander the rest of the Mall if you're into that kind of thing.  It would be the two of you, me, and Jennifer Maloney if she wanted to come with.

3. Ezra, that's so cool that you're getting unbiased and-- more importantly-- honest feedback on your work.  That's a really valuable thing to any artist (or creator of any kind).  That should be fun!  P.S. I will check out the Gin Blossoms :)

Cool!  Can't wait to hear from you guys again!  Adios!

--Jude

I didn't ask, you shouldn't have told me...

Gin Blossoms.
They're AMAZING!
I added some of their songs to my playlist on my blog :) check it out!
It's like total happy music :) great for drawing to... if you're me, anyway.

Anyway, today I started a new quarter!!!!!!!!  Yaaayyyyy!!!!
The only class I don't like is Geometry XP  Other than that, I have Spanish 3, Interpersonal Communications (yes thats a legit class!  We get to watch "my so-called life" and stuff!), and the best English class EVER!
English we get to do creative writing and stuff which is so freaking fun and we get to write essays and since I'm a dork I love writing essays and we get to read and I'm really happy!!!!!!!!! :D

So I kinda gots this idea... I really want some unbiased feedback on some of my drawings so I think I might ask one of my grandmas crazy artist friends to look at some of my drawings and tell me what they like and what I can improve on and stuff.  So I'll be able to ask people who wont be too worried about hurting my feelings to give good feedback and who actually knows a thing or two about what theyre saying and can say stuff like "I like how you did....... but maybe you should try......... oh here you should have done.......... but I really like this part where........" instead of "I like this its pretty!!!" or "I dont like this one.  it doesnt have enough pink" or whatever.  I think I'll ask Ms. Elissa too just cause shes an artist too but... yeah.  I'll let you guys know how that goes :)

Oatmeal

Hey! I heard that we didn't have to be at school at 7:30, although it was recommended.

Anyway, OMG! Megan! This maybe a little far off but are you doing anything on March 21!?!?!?!?!
So I was checking on the Oatmeal and they're (him) are coming to Minnesota!!!
And he's coming out with a book so I thought that if you wanted to go, we could head out after school and go and see him! Here's the info. I would just love to meet him and I'd love to have someone who's heard of him (and likes him) go with me!

Besides that, I had a very weird confrontation with some random guy yesterday.  I was waiting for my bus at the lightrail station and this guy comes up to me and says"Are you male or female?" I gave him a weird look and said "Female?" and he gave me a weird smile (I noticed that he had cuts all over his face) and said "You stand like a guy... Just wanted to let you know that."
Hmmmmm, some people really make you wonder huh?
~Peace!

Jude Writes a Letter

There we go!  I put different pictures of the letter up because they're so much easier to read than the original picture.  Enjoy!
