Thank God you're here! Grandma's been raped!

Summer Heights High. It's a pretty awesome show. Here are some of my favorite quotes. 


Mr. G: "We used to have bushes here, but a girl got raped behind them so we took them away, yep no more bushes..."


Ja’mie: "Wife beaters and rapists are nearly all public-school educated. Sorry, no offence, but it’s true."


Ja’mie: "I think what happens is, like, out in the outer suburbs, like, ugly people breed with other ugly people, right. So you end with really fugly kids. So that’s why you look around a public school and on average, like no offence, but people are more fugly. Whereas in a private school area, in a rich school area… (shut up, let me explain), in a rich area, like, hotter people breed with hot people and have hotter kids."


Ja'mie: "Friends don't send each other two text messages an hour saying "See you in English", "Save me a seat!"


Principle: ‎"Ranga's arent a race Jonah."
Jonah: "But sir, they're everywhere!"'


Mr. G: ‎"Thank god your here! Grandma's been raped!'' 


Ja'mie: "This is the Dolce and Gabbana dress that I wore to my year 9 formal. As you can see, it still fits me.”


Ja'mie: "I had an eating disorder in year 8 so my breasts didnt develope properly."


Ja'mie: "Look at my phone, its a blackberry. i would let you borrow it, but it's worth like thousands of dollars and my dad would kill me."


Mr. G: "She's a naughty girl, with a (swings his head) bad habit, bad habit for drugs..."


Ja'mie: "Ooo you've got wheelchair people, that's soo cute..I LOVE disabled people!"


Ja'mie: "A school that bans formals is a school that bans life"


Mr G: "She was what the other students would call.... a slut."


Ja'mie: "Asians will get into limos with lesbians .... and my group will talk to the fugly girls"


Ja'mie: "They pick on you? Can you introduce me to them?"


Ja'mie: "He made me feel less hot!" 


Mr. G: "Mr G is how should i say...a jesus type character in the musical"


Ja'mie: "She was all like, 'Uhhh, Jai'me, you're a pedophile, because you're going out with a year 7.' But I'd rather be a pedophile than a lesbian, seriously."

New Apartment

The new place! Moving in was exhausting but I'm finally finished with it all. 

Yesterday we got cable and my life is complete. 

Cox messed up my set up date so I had to wait an extra week before we got internet and cable but thankfully the guy who set up our cable was really nice and completely set everything up perfectly. 

I have furniture now! Nice to know the things in my place are actually mine. 

Meeka has been up here with us and it's been great. She's gotten pretty used to the place. There are tons of animals here though. Which is good and bad I guess. Meeka gets to see a lot of dogs and cats so that keeps her on her toes but I'm also afraid if I ever let her out without a leash that she will run up to another dog or chase a cat. She's been doing good till now though so I think things will be fine. 

My new living room! I plan on spending many hours here. Enjoying life and such. 

Sick

I'm in one of those funks again. Went to the doctor today and found out I have an ear infection so that doesn't help things either. When I'm not at work I'm in my little room watching online tv. I go out some nights but I'm just not really as happy as I could be. I know it's just me being a debbie downer and I'm ready for this all to end but I feel like it's been going on for months now. I usually spend summers with my family in my own house so being in a new apartment alone is hard to get used to. A lot of my friends are out of town for the summer and my boyfriend is non existent these days. I'm bringing up Meeka this week and I'll be moving into my permanent apartment with cable tv and a ceiling fan so things should be looking up. I purchased my ticket to Spain today and could not be more ready to leave the country! Hopefully my next post will be a happy one : )

Moving on up to the West Side

I finally got everything moved out of my room at Campus Lodge. I felt like I lived there for two years and now I'm out. Staying at Cedar Lake for a couple of weeks then moving into my new place at Post Oak. Moving was horrible. So many things and far too much physical activity. I plan on just working and enjoying being lazy until I go to Spain June 26th.

Tv wise I just started watching a few new shows: Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, and The Killing. Also watching United States of Tara and other randoms. Considering investing in Oprah's new network OWN. I love my documentaries.

Photography Final

Today I presented my photography final for introduction to photography. The title was "The three stages of passion." I chose to display 3 types of passion for a subject. The first set of pictures shows a woman who has taken her passion for photography and turned it in into a living. This shoot was done while I was on a workshop with her. 

The second set shows a man who has taken his passion for telling stories through film and turned it into his field of study as well as a future career. This photo shoot was done over a long span of  hours finally ending around 3am. This again shows the passion this person had for this craft. 

The third set of photos shows two women that have passion for the hobbies they do in their every day life. One is shown playing video games and the second is shown reading. These are two hobbies that almost anyone can relate to. These last photos are taken up close to show the intimacy of being at home in your element doing the thing you love to do.

Photo Workshop

Last Thursday I had my photography workshop with Amanda Keith (indiejanephotography). I had a blast and learned so much! I can't wait to take advantage of the new skills I have in location scouting, time management, shooting, editing, and the overall business side of taking photos. I'm hoping to come up with a logo for my photo "business" soon. I more or less need it just to have a watermark on my photos. Right now it's not that big of a problem. It's not like people are trying to steal my photos but I want to start making it a standard so I look more professional. So until I get some ideas here is one of the photos I have been working on. I edited this photo twice. The one that I used for my actual final is not this one. I'll post those later. I had to stay with a more realistic feel for those. This one was just for fun.

Things I Miss

1. My iPhone 4 - we had great times together. gone before your time
2. My High School Friends - you guys make me appreciate what true friends are
3. Meeka - i rarely get to see her anymore and i hope i can change that soon
4. My old self - i've changed a lot since i came to college and most of it was for the better but i do miss how i used to find such joy in every day life. i need to find that again.
5. Singing - i've been singing since i was 8 and i haven't had much time to do it since i left altus
6. My house - i love my old room and my tv room. living in these small spaces is starting to get to me
7. My cousins - i barely get to see them any more. they were my best friends/siblings growing up and most of my favorite moments as a child involve them.
8. My mom's cooking - the fast food and microwaved dinners just aren't the same
9. Buffy & Angel - those were just great shows and nothing has come close since
10. Pokemon - i want to say i dedicated 5 years of my life to that game. 5 years not wasted

I wanna see you in your birthday suit

"There's a party going down at the Casa de Britt's, bring all your friends, as long as they are chicks." - Green Hornet

Today was Jaiden's Birthday! Jaiden has been a blessing and I couldn't have asked for a better nephew. Today we went to the hospital to see all the nurses that cared for him while he was in the NICU for what seemed like forever! I remember seeing him in that little incubator. He looked so small and sad. He only weighed 1.6 pounds and was 12 inches long. He was literally skin and bones but he has come a long way from that day. 

After we left the hospital we went to eat lunch at Lily's cafe. I got their famous Lily's burger and it was oh so good. Jaiden was so happy because when we got there his grandparents had gotten him some balloons for his birthday and he played with them the entire time. 

To finish the night we went to the Fort Worth Museum where we saw Tornado Alley. Oceans was sold out :/ It was the first movie Jaiden had ever seen and what better than a IMAX theater with loud thunder and tornadoes? Needless to say he had to sit in the baby room sealed with sound proof glass. It was a good movie though. They had the OU meteorology crew on there! 

Tomorrow we are going to the zoo and then I'm driving back for Angela's 21st :)

That new car smell smell

So a lot of things have been changing. I thought I'd update a few people in my life.

I'm going to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain! I leave on June 27th and I couldn't be more excited. I've always wanted to go to Europe and what's a better way than on OU's dime?

Tomorrow is my nephew's first birthday! I'm currently down in Texas with them getting ready for the festivities. It will be a great weekend. Tomorrow we start it off by going to the NICU to visit all the wonderful nurses that helped Jaiden while he spent 5 long months in their care.

And finally the biggest change in my life. My boyfriend of two years and I broke up last weekend which turned my world upside down. First of all I had to find a new place to live this summer and next semester. Of course he waited till the last minute so finding a roommate so late was really hard. Thank goodness my friends are amazing and helped me out so this summer I will be living with my friend Michelle and next year I will be living with Justina and hopefully Angela. I'm doing ok with the break up this time. In October when he broke up with me the first time I was in shock I guess so I didn't take it so well. And then a week later we got back together which was dumb on my part. I knew he wasn't just magically ready to get back into a relationship but I was weak and didn't want to lose him. It sucks when someone else seems to be in charge of your life. I don't want that to happen to me again. By the end of our relationship I didn't even feel like we were friends any more. He never wanted to hang out with me and I just felt like a burden to him. It seemed like he just wasn't trying. Which should have been a red flag but I overlooked a lot of things while we were together. I'm not trying to trash talk him though. I truly believed he tried to be the best boyfriend he could to me but in the long run it wasn't what I deserved or wanted. I think he's a good person and I wish he could have been what I wanted him to be but we can't control other people's actions or feelings.

I'm hoping to take this time to focus on myself and finish school. I'm going to try and still graduate next Spring and get out of OU. I'm ready to move on and go to the next stage in my life. Oh and my hair is back to it's natural color! It's been a while lol.

My Favorite Things Part 1

I've seen a few people do this so I thought I would give it a try.

Television- As many of you may know I'm obsessed with tv! I watch so many shows I lose count. Tv for me is a way to relax and be entertained at the same time. I get really sucked into a show so much that I can speed through seasons of a show in just a few days.

Urban Outfitters - I love to online shop here. I'm hoping to decorate my house with things from here. The style is simple and cute. The prices are also reasonable.

Dresses with Belts - I love dresses! Who would have thought comfortable clothing could look pretty? I have definitely changed my wardrobe since I came to college and I think it's a good change. Now to expand my shoe collection.

Cloudy Days - I hate the sun! Some of you may know I get really bad heat rash which just solidifies my hate for the sun. I love when it's 60 degrees and cloudy. It's like the weather right before it is going to rain. If only the sun could always hide behind those big clouds.

Dr. Pepper - Lets not forget my soda addiction. I hope to one day combat it but as of now I'm a slave. My soda preferences have change throughout the years but as for now my favorite is Dr. Pepper.
