Summer Goalage

May 31, 2008

So my friend did a post of her summer goals, so now it’s my turn. It seems like a good idea to do, you know? Make it all official like.
The Jordyn’s Summer Goals:

Get a new job. (Remember how I said yesterday was awful? I lost my job. The owner is moving her business so unless [...]

Not What I Signed Up For

May 31, 2008

Dear friendlies, this post comes in four parts.
Part 1
Was really, really bad. Like seriously.
Part 2
I read something terribly sad about next season in TVGuide magazine while I was in line at Albie’s. I just found it online at tvguide.com, and here it is. WARNING: Sad.
Executive Producer Katie Jacobs says: I don’t think their relationship will [...]

Oh. So. Tired.

May 30, 2008

Oh. My. God.
Continuing on in my Saga of Sleep, here’s what happened last night, I kid you not.
It was about eleven o’clock. I had decided to restart my novel (coming in at a measly 5,000 words, this was not as big a deal as it seems) and work on it an hour every day. I was [...]

I Call It The Jordyn Report

May 29, 2008

Okay, new segment. Because I’m watching The Colbert Report (it inspired me) and also I know you’re all so interested in my life.
So, friendlies, welcome to the new segment called THIS IS THE JORDYN REPORT! (And yes, you can pronounce the T in that word report.)
For starters, this is one of the conversations I had with [...]

Don’t Mess With Zulu Cannibal Giants

May 28, 2008

One thing you probably shouldn’t say to someone if you want them to like you: “You look like you just rolled out of bed and came to school.”
Yeah, you look pretty too.
Um, no, I didn’t just roll out of bed and go to school. I straightened my hair. And messed with my bangs. And wore [...]

Fun With A Stolen Meme

May 25, 2008

So guess what?
Thing Number Five:
The Jordyn loves memes. And lo! Here is one now! Stolen from E. Lockhart’s blog, of course.
What were you doing ten years ago?
Well, I was eight years old. Which means I don’t actually have a journal dating back that far, but ten years ago I had just moved back to Arizona [...]

Today, I…

May 24, 2008

What I Did Today:

Went to work.
Came home from work incredibly early because of the rain and the fact of everything being outside.
Went to Albie’s and purchased some foodstuffs.
Made pizza. FROM SCRATCH!
Watched Friends.
Kept on reading Acceptance.
Worked on my novel, which is going along quite slowly thankyouverymuch.
Texted my friend to see how she was doing.
Fell asleep reading [...]

Three Letter Identifiers

May 24, 2008

Ever since I went to New York for the Red readings in November I’ve wanted to travel.
Which is mildly odd because I never wanted to travel before. I mean not that I had anything against it, just that I was fine not. And now I think it was probably because I was so happy where [...]

Grammar Police Mishaps

May 23, 2008

So I’m not very good at grammar. I must have skipped learning all the basic rules of it in school because until I was about fifteen years old I still didn’t know when to use its versus it’s. And hyphens (-) compared to commas (,) to split up a sentence? Well, despite Mrs. Petersen’s most [...]

Sunflower Seeds

May 23, 2008

I have a confession.
Thing Number Four:
The Jordyn loves sunflower seeds. I know, I know! If I think spitting is so gross (and I do), I shouldn’t love a food where you have to spit the shells out. But I do. I can’t help it. They’re so yummy.
