Morphin'

So I went to the website of www.morphthing.com and decided to see what mine and Zac Efron's baby would look like.

Isn't he ah-dorable?! Yes. I knew me and Zac were MFEO (made for eachother).

Fragile

I've been walking around all day,
Thinking.
I think I have a problem,
I think I think too much.
I've been taught to hold back my tears,
And avoid them.
But you make pain into something I could touch.

I've been walking around all day,
Laughing.
I think I'd be better off without you here.
And I bet you're sweet and hard to get over.
So I'll cry and people will stop and stare.
Now that's okay.
Let them stop and stare.

Cause I am fragile.
I am hopeless.
I'm not perfect.
But I am free.

I've been walking around all day,
Waiting.
And waiting is all I seem to do.
Cause I never get it unless I'm fed it.
But this time i'll just have to.
Yeah this time i'll just have to.

And I'm fragile.
I am hopeless.
I'm not perfect.
But I am free.

Say you're not around, Am I finished?
If you're not around, thats too bad.
Hope youre safe and sound, not alone now.
Cause you know I believe in you.

Not much has changed. That's not really a good thing.

Merry Merry Christmas!

So first of all, let me just say that this is the most perfect Christmas tree I have ever seen!


Well ohmygoodness it is Christmas! This is my faave holiday ever.

Yesterday (Christmas Eve), I was out and about very busily, but then my family and I had our annual Christmas Eve dinner at my fave restaurant, Cheesecake Factory! Yes, it was delish.
Then we went to my aunt's house to pick up some lobster.
Next, we went home and watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas while eating our cheesecake and drinking white chocolate hot chocolate. Mmm I highly recommend tasting that someday. It is heavenly.
After all that, Briette and I drove around looking at Christmas lights. We found an ah-mazing house that we stopped at for quite some time. It was covered in crazy lights that lit up to the songs it was playing if you turned your radio to a certain station. It was beautiful.

Today was simply wonderful! Good ol' Chris Kringle treated me well by giving me the lovely gift of a new beach cruiser! It is soo cute. I luhv it. I also got a bundle of other great gifts! Another marvelous part of my day included playing games with the Bailey's. Oh yes. Oh man today was just so good! I am so happy :) And OHMYGOSH I heard some news that made me sooooo happy and I am just going to say that I cannot wait till tomorrow! :)

Ahh life is good.

Well, I hope you have all had a very merry Christmas!

Amazing Again

I must be glorious
I must be a sight to see
Oh maybe you could comfort me
And I come to you strangled
In things I'm told are flattering
Maybe you could come and comfort me
And all the wan, hip, full lipped lovers
Are locked against one another
And I waiver, uncomfortable in my skin
Wait here for me
I'll be back for more and you'll see
And maybe, I'll be saved
And amazing again
You called us perfect
Because we slipped into awkward so easily
So maybe you could comfort me
And I've been better than this before
I know you've seen me be
So maybe you could come and comfort me












Lately, I have not been doing my hair.

But I wish it looked like this.














Eeee it's almost CHRISTMAS! I luhv this season. It is so jolly.


Speaking of jolly... we had a Christmas Elf Party this past saturday. Now THAT was definitely the jolly-est party yet! It was so much fun though. (Kinda almost) everyone came dressed in elfish attire and danced, ate cookies, took pics with Santa, and basically just had a grand ol' time! Themed parties = still in

Self Taught Learner

Thought I saw you the other day
You changed your hair but you looked the same
Well I make wishes late in the day
You're six feet under and you're safe

Beautiful Eyes

Your beautiful eyes stare right into my eyes

and sometimes i think of you late at night
I don't know why
I wanna be somewhere where you are
I wanna be where...

You're here. Your eyes are looking into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm looking through your
I'm looking through your eyes

I wake up, I'm alive
And only a little while, I cry
'Cause you're my lullaby
So baby come hold me tight
cuz I, I
I wanna be everything you need
I wanna be where...

You're here. Your eyes are looking into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm looking through your
I'm looking through your eyes

Oh my fuh-reazing!

Yes. Today was quite the chilly day. My car was covered in ice this morning. I was scared and didn't know what to do... so I called my mommy and she came outside, brought me a jacket, and scraped off all the ice for me. Aw how nice of her, right?

I wish my hair looked like this without having to do anything to it.

Eeee. It's hard, but I can!

I am happy, anyways :)

Ohemgee tomorrow is the weeekend, and I've got one thing to say to that-- "Yippi Yi oh Ki Eh Hoser" -Sterling

"Laugh every day; it's like inner jogging."

Soooo this past weekend was AH-MAZING.

Friday: After the (3rd) orch. concert, I had my Winter Formal night "day date." We played bunko at Paige's house and it was seriously SOOO much fun! Everyone got waay into it and the prizes were hilarious. We also had delish hot chocolate and chocolate fountain. Best day date by far.

Saturday: WINTER FORMAL. We did pics at mi casa, P.F. Chang's (or "Mr. Chang's") for dinner, went to the dance (we were crazily obnoxious), then chilled at Kelsey B's after!

Our group was amazing! It consisted of: Sterling Priday & I, Paige Higgins & Jack Marple, Briette Tenney & Craig Stevenson, Kelsey Adams & Wes Jones, Candace Stevenson & Stetson Biggs, and Kelston.

This just might have been my fave dance.
And Sterling is definitely thee funniest person I have ever met. The end.



Oh and guess what??
I OFFICIALLY HAVE MY OWN CAR. Yaaah.
It is such a feeling. I no longer a deprived senior, YIPEE!
Yes, I drive an Envoy.


Well, I am loving life. And Winter. And Christmas music. And making people cookies.
I want to make a gingerbread house. And decorate gingerbread cookies.

HAPPY WINTER, ALL!

Well hello there, December.

I am so happy, I heart this month! It is my fave.

there's a special kind of feeling in the air
it only happens at this time of year
when everyone is filled with love and cheer
'cause that's what matters

pretty paper boxes tied with bows
walking in the sun or in the snow
we can feel the excitement growing, growing

it's the greatest time of year, and it's here
help me celebrate it
with everybody here, friends so dear
let me simply state it
joy to the world and everyone
lift up your hearts and feel the love
it's our favorite way, to spend the holiday
yeah

we can get all cozy by the fire
turn the music up a little higher
i don't think that i could ever tire
of being together

decorate the tree, hang mistletoe
and stand by me

it's a picture perfect moment captured
memories that we'll have after




So basically all I listen to is Christmas music. It makes me so happy!


And my room is full of pink Christmas decor :)

Busybusyy

So it's been a little bit since I've blogged. Lemme catch up.

Highland dance concert- Super! The theme was Evolution and my dances were so fun!


New Moon at midnight- All my besties were not excited for it, and I definitely was, so I went with my mommy & her friend Debby. But ohhhmygoodness, like the rest of the world, I am in deep deeep love with Jacob Black. I am also likin the werewolves better. They are soo much more attractive than the vampires! Well ok, so I love Alice and Jasper. But really, how can you resist...

Thanksgiving- I did the Turkey Trot! I ran the 10k with Rachel Riggs. It was really good! After that, everyone on my dad's side went to my aunt Adele's house for Thanksgiving lunch/dinner. Very delish. Theeen, my individual fam + my cuzzy Mallory saw New Moon! The second time was just as ah-mazing.


The rest of Thanksgiving break (just a few highlights)- Took Briette and our dear friend Logan Young who was visiting from BYU to my uncle's farm
-Creeped on Weston's house and car
-QT
-Took cookies from strange men
-Creeped some more!


It was a great weekend.



This week is going to be busy x 10! But it's gonna be goood.

You might want to consider coming to the Highland Orch concert. It is this thursday and friday.

And theen Winter Formal is saturday! I am very excited.

And that's what I luhhv.

ps: Life is great :)

Take Your Time

And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.

Now I'm not scared
of a song
or the states,
or the stages.
I'm not scared.
I got friends,
took my call,
came courageous.
Now I feel like I am home.

One more thing, I keep having this dream
Where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking down on the street
I can hear kids in low-income houses singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, I'm through with causing a scene.

She is here and now I think she's ready to go.
For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.

So come on with me, sing along with me,
Let the wind catch your feet.
If you love somebody,
you'd better let them know.

Take your time coming home. 

Today is a beautiful day!

My daily run was quite lovely this morning.
I am loving my results!

Last night I went to the So You Think You Can Dance tour with my mom, her sisters, Emily, Katie, and Mindi, my sister, and Rachel Riggs! It was sooo good! Afterwards we made a lil midnight Swiss hot chocolate run. It was great.

I will post a couple pics later.

Well, I will definitely be enjoying this marvelous weather while I can!

Jump Then Fall

Three people told me I looked like Taylor Swift tonight at my cousin Stuart's wedding reception. YIPEE! It made me so happy :)






I like the way you sound in the morning,
we're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus,
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together

every time you smile, I smile
and every time you shine, I'll shine for you

whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me

baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
say that you wanna be with me too
cause I'm gonna stay through it all so jump then fall




xoxo, J-nelly

Fearless

We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless




Guess what?


I need cute white flats. (help por favor?)


Today is Wednesday, yet no school.


Paige and I are improving in our running. We're gonna be so ready for the Turkey Trot.


Chantz tends to always injure me. Apparently I am "fragile."


I am happy :)

Do somethin crazy

                                       <3

Path to Gryffindor

Obvious

Let's make a mess
Steal a kiss in the moment
You and me
Everything that could be
Touch, don't go
Stay as long as you like

Let's get reckless
Dance with our hands to the beat
Don't let this slip through our fingers
It feels insane
Don't you put up a fight

Let's rough it up
Till they shut it down

It's ah, ah, obvious
Right here's where the party starts
With you and me all alone
No one has to know
It's ah, ah, obvious to me
How it's gonna be
Ah, ah, obvious
When you come close to me

Let's make a scene
Like the movies in our dreams
Make me scream
Take me down
No one's watching
Close your eyes
Play it back and rewind

So surreal
As the story unfolds on the screen
Stop stalling
The credits are rolling
Hold me now
Before we run out of time

Let's rough it up
Till the end of the night

It's ah, ah, obvious
Right here's where the party starts
With you and me all alone
No one has to know
It's ah, ah, obvious to me
How it's gonna be
Ah, ah, obvious
When you come close to me

It's ah, ah, obvious
One kiss
It's easy to see
You and me

It's ah, ah, obvious
Right here's where the party starts
With you and me all alone
No one has to know
It's ah, ah, obvious to me
How it's gonna be
Ah, ah, obvious
When you come close to me

Smile Upon Me

And it's truth you know
Its always the issue
And when it starts getting blurry
Ones never better than two


There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine

Oh yeah you're the best friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too


I don't know what are you now
Since everything has changed
If I did know one thing
Its me whose feeling strange

Yes everything is different
And I don't react well
The changes that come when
Your life's becoming hell


There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine

Oh yeah you're the best friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too

Submarine #3

you got me under the sea
trying to swim, we find you again
I know you gotta be on a submarine
but what can i do?
what do we do?

Winter?

That's weird, I was just wearing shorts just a few days ago.
Time for tights, boots, scarfs, and sweaters? I believe so!
Bittersweet weather.

A Little Love

Here I go again
Smilin' too sweet
Can’t seem to hold it in
Every time that we meet
I get this rosy glow
And weak in the knees
I hope you don’t know how fast
you make my heart beat

I’m in a little love
And I’m in a little deep
Though I’ll never say a word
It’s a secret my heart can’t keep

My feet upon the ground
Whenever you are near
But my head is in the clouds
While the rest of me is….

Here I go again
Smilin' too sweet
It seems that my heart
Has finally gone and told on me

Dear all you four-flushers,

If you're going to talk crap about someone,
don't be BFFs with them the next second.

xoxo, J-nelly

One Fine Wire

I try so many times
but it's not taking me
and it seems so long ago
that I used to believe
and I'm so lost inside of my head
and crazy
but I cant get out of it
I'm just stumbling

And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
I'm juggling and my fears on fire
but I'm listening as it evolves in my head
I'm balancing on one fine wire

And I remember the time my balance was fine
and I was just walking on one fine wire
I remember the time my balance was fine
and I was just walking on one fine wire
but It's frayed at both the ends
and I'm slow unraveling

Life plays so many games inside of me
and I've had some distant cries, following
and their entwined between the night and sun beams
I wish I were free from this pain in me

And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
I'm juggling and my fears on fire
but I'm listening as it evolves in my head
I'm balancing on one fine wire

And I remember the time my balance was fine
and I was just walking on one fine wire
I remember the time my balance was fine
and I was just walking on one fine wire
but it's frayed at both the ends
and I'm slow unraveling

And I'm juggling all the thoughts in my head
I'm juggling and my fears on fire
but I'm listening as it evolves in my head
I'm balancing on one fine wire....

Ohh the HS Boys...

If you're not skiiiny and small... 

hopefully better luck in college.

Sucks for us!



XOXO, J-nelly

The Scientist

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

The beginning of my last year of high school...

It's actually not as great as I would like it to be! My classes are pretty easy, and I never have hw, so that definitely makes it good. I miss seeing a lot of my friends though! Everyone is off at college or on their mission. I don't feel old enough to be at this age in life. Unfortunately, I have a full schedule, but most of the classes I'm taking are electives. My classes this semester are:
Seminary
Great Books
Marketing
Adv. Dance
Lunch
Symphony Orch.
Government

Yeah I'm one of the few seniors taking a lunch. My day seems quite long. I am VERY happy that I don't have an A hour though! Oh man. Bad times with A hour. Oh and also no math or science class. WOOHOO.

It's also very odd that my brother Nathan is there with me! We are in the same seminary class, under my request. My bff Briette has it with me too and also Stetson.

As for my classes, I really like all of my teachers. I think I just need to have a better attitude haha. At least it's easy.

First weekend of my senior year me and Briette took our little friend Austin to Johnny Rockets. That Sunday he moved to the Marshall Islands :(


XOXO, J-nelly

Here we go again

'Cause I'm so much better without you,
But it's just another pretty lie,
'Cause I break down,
Every time you come around,
Oh, oh,

So how did you get here under my skin,
I Swore that I'd never let you back in,
Should've known better,
Than tryin' to let you go,
'Cause here we go, go, go, go again,
Hard as I try I know I can't quit,
Something about you is so addictive,
We're fallin' together,
You'd think that by now I'd know,
'Cause here we go, go, go again

You never know what you want,
And you never say what you mean,
But I start to go insane,
Every time that you look at me,
You only hear half of what I say,
And you're always showing up too late,
And I know that I should say goodbye,
But it's no use,
Can't be with or without you

Oh, oh

You're the Only One

And I said I'd never seen anyone look so dumb before
And you laughed and said I still know how to turn you on though

You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean

I guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down
Just to keep you around

Cuz the day that you realize how amazing you are
You're gonna leave me

2 years

...better go by very quickly. Andrew left for his mish Thursday to Ghana, Africa and I'm so excited for him, but very sad because I already miss him so much. :(

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you...

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.
