Joni 5.1.4 - CAVEMAN NO MORE!!

I said goodbye to part of my body this Christmas, as December 25th brought not presents, but surgeons and sedatives! Yes, as I bid farewell to my appendix, I was silently thanking the world that this Christmas might have been a little more eventful than imagined, but that it ended quite well (3 scars!) and brought with it some gorgeous bouquets and poinsettias!

Apparently your appendix is leftover from the Neanderthal days - fascinating right?!

After some days with an IV stuck in my arm, and forty plus hours of not eating, home is a wonderful place to be. Plus...sitting down and chillin' is the PERFECT time to get a crackin' on :

J-TERM!!!!!!!!!

excitement abounds out of me!!!!

I am embarking on the perilous journey of fashion and design, as I attempt to refashion old, discarded and unsightly articles of clothing for one final fashion show blowout in honor of environmentally friendly expression through the use of ones clothes!

Already today has brought:

an incredibly spiffy notebook and pens from my still 'secret' santa perfect for sketching out them idears!

a rather fantabulous scarf accessory with the help of a bedraggled shirt and a knitted rose

super puffy sleeves out of an oversized t-shirt

and some good brain usage

I know that noones reads this, but I'm putting it out anyways:

if anyone should want to volunteer to wear a creation for the final fashion show J-term project, I would love it! I would just need to know, so I could fit things if needed before the actual hooplah, which I'm not quite sure of the date, time or place currently...

well...I'm considering posting updates on clothing refashions, but then the final project wouldn't be a surprise, so I'll veto that idea for now!

merry christmas!

bloggin'

...

Because christmas is must so darn fantastic and all we've done is turned it into some sort of commercial frenzy. I mean as if stores didn't load up on enough of our money in the first place, now they've got thirty plus days of enraged and appalling customers thundering across the florescent lit mall, trampling everything in their path just to buy, BUY, BUY!!!!

why?

Because that's what Christmas is all about of course! It's about putting up a tree right after the spider webs and zombies exit your house. It's about making that mad dash to the stores when the last pilgrim hat has been boxed and stashed away. It's about the exchange of money for merchandise, and ignoring the bell ringers as you quickly dash into Hobby Lobby. And it's all working up to that one day, those few hours where wrapping paper is torn off and presents quickly devoured by children and adults alike.

Heck, I love presents! Who doesn't? But I don't like unnecessary buying.

It's just this huge expectation that is placed on almost all Christmas Goers. You give some gifts, you get some gifts. Make that lots of gifts, better yet - LOADS of gifts!!!

You know, Christmas trees don't die the second December the twenty fifth is over...they keeping living, I promise! And the twelve days of Christmas are really...the twelve days AFTER Christmas. Christmas is jolly, and quite nice if I do say so myself. Why make this holiday of cheer, snow and muffins into a stress factor that has us dashing to Wal-Mart at nine on Christmas Eve to do that "Last minuet shopping" that is advertised at us?

I'm just really psyched that it snowed!

And that I GET to make my Bro an awesome present this afternoon!

plus I get to visit him on Christmas day!!!!

I got to watch Mannheim Steamroller on the screen in the lobby of the GBPAC because it was all sold out!

I get to warm up by a fireplace, I definitely need to appreciate that more!

my cat is the darn cutest thing in my house!

I have a house...that's REALLY nice!

my mom is standing outside in the snow wearing my plumber's coat staring at my cat (making sure he doesn't eat all the birds)

I got a coat from a plumber...

my plumbers coat is warm

at my house, we sing along with the Kings Singer's christmas album at the top of our lungs

my throat hurts, but i'm not sick!

I tied a red ribbon to my wrist, it looks nice

plus there is a big box of cuties sitting next to me!

YUM!

that's my christmas

19th Century Day!!!!

The day was sultry,

The sun was blazing,

The cicadas were in full voice,

and the year...

was 1824

It's comming

I AM ABOUT TO GET SOMETHING....AND IT'S REALLY COOL...

SUMMER!!!

WONDERFUL

wonderful 

summer is a fabulous place and I'm so glad it's here already!!!!

I really should be taking in more into my hands though, I hate those summers where you don't do nothing, and always say you do!

So I guess I've been waiting for summer to "officialy start" and now it's JUNE already so I'd better get a move on!

so far i've accomplished:

went to the pool on the first FREEZING day

made a pretty ballin' stop action video wid rae-chilly

made an *ahem* interesting video for rae's sisters birthday with sarah

biked with rae/sarah d.

went on a fabulous walk by the river dressed like arabian destroyers with zoe

SAILED at volga lake area!!!!!

started running for XC!

had my first driving excursion for drivers ed.

made a pair of pants from a huge boy-scouts shirt

read two books in two days

so fair i've failed by doing the following:

what i'm doing right now

sitting at home waiting for people to call back

pointlessly went on the computer

sat

AND THEN LOOKED AT THIS LIST IN HORROR AND GOT OFF THE COMPUTER AND OFF TO DO SOMETHING FUUUNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!

bye!

go out and have summer!

What if I planted a citrus forest?

I love citrus fruits, especialy if they would be mini bonzi size ones with little grapefruits, and little lemons!!! YUM! I love lemons!!! especialy california ones. I accomplished one of my goals of picking a lemon right off a tree and taking a bite of it!!! No peeling or nothing!! I WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! so sweet, lemons off a tree are sweet and delicious, not like store lemons. you haven't had a lemon till you've had it off a tree.
I'm upon a computer in cyber defense, someone is filming us, and we are supposed to look like we are doing something, so I'll just spew random crap from atop my head!
there's this book that i'm reading that I realllllyy like, cuz the whole series is really good, i'm assuming this will be the last. The first book is called airborn, second is skybreaker, and the third is starclimber. I particulary adore them because they are centered around airships of the past such as zepplins, think Hinden burg if that has any meaning for you. When i first read airborn, I loved this ships, they sailed the skys, lighter than air, I wished I could have been part of it, I had no idea that there was a time, when these things flew the skys from contenient to contenient...
They were real! I never knew about these massive vessils, used to rule the skys, used to be the new wonder of travel, used to be the height of technology. How is it that I didn't get to live in this generation? I was extatic when I first discovered the real facts of airships, I practicaly exploded! I felt as if this whole new world had been opened for me, and I had the key firmly in my grasp. How could I let this slip away. I've always been facinated with the skys, I've always wanted to fly. The only times I have really felt insanly, intensely happy was when I was in the air, but not in something like an airplane, something like flying dreams, or when I was in a glider...those were the times...
But more than anything, I want to get the skys by my own means. I love creating things, vehicles actually...hah, many failed attempts and many unfinished plans, but vehicles never the less. Anything that can move humans in way that they aren't desinged to move is really the true focal point for me I guess. Boats, hotair balloons, things on wheeles, I love them. My most recent obsession came about when I sumbled across a website for making solar powered hot air balloons. Now, stop here and sollumly swear that you will not steal this idea from me! Promise! REally...I've spent almost two years now planning to built one big enough to lift a person, and you can only make one if you promise to let me help!!!
anyways, I these crazy inventions just crash around in my head, and I just can't find the time to make them! ASIDRHOGDIJLDGJFJFJJHDFHFHFGH!!!
Or the idea of incorperating airship technology with a bike and a helecopter. Have enough helium to get lift, and then a peddle powered turbine on the top for extra power. I want to make these things!!!!!!!!
Or a hang glider, you can't imagin the countless times that I've imagined my self soaring off my roof on a handcrafted glider! I was planning on starting with a Barbie proff modle and working my way up...but of course, time did not oblige and I was stuck, again a gliderless person.
Any ideas? anyone want to help?
Creating things, I love it.
You know that feeling that you get when you go on a ride, or lean back on a swing just right, and your stomach feels like it's exploding in an insanly good way? Me and sarah started calling that the "giggly tummy" when we were younger. That's also something I love searching for! It just feels like you have to laugh, I love it!
well everyone is on facebook, I wonder why I'm doing this...I'm very proud of my non-facebook status if you care to know. I could go on about why, but people would probably...not apreciate it very much.
Why do we do such pointless things? Oh, not on teh facebook topic anymore, (but I COULD be!!..)
anyways
now I should do something of relivance, like study math...well, hum, relivance, maybe not, but kinda important for the moment...
