Jessica (Swamp Chicken)'s Comments

I'M HERE.

JESSYKUHHHHH! I am SO SORRY! I can only be on for literally like TWO MINUTES now, but I'll be back on later tonight hopefully. AHHH I'M SOO EXCITEDDDDD!

Oh, two things to add (a little late):

1) I used the word "Yay" WAY too much in my last message. Weird.

2) Recently, I've been wondering how we started out with these messages. I realized that we started with a relatively short one and then they progressively got longer and longer XD That's awesome, especially since we recently got to the point where our messages were cut off.

*yay replying*

Yay for haircuts! I love getting my haircut--it feels nice, and now that I have it short I can't even imagine having it long again. How did I even like that? It's so great short, but I need to get it trimmed again (trimmed haha) 

YAAAAAAY FOR  BEING FREE! I've been really busy though, all break! I've been touring Dallas with Kathi, and otherwise been occupied. Now all this week I'm volunteering at church helping with a class for third graders. It's only from 9-12 so I'll be good, though. Otherwise. FREEEEDOM.

I think school killed that part of my brain where grammar AND basic math mattered XD My grandfather came to visit me from México, and he's been quizzing me on APUSH, and I literally can't remember anything. It's a nice feeling, because I know I know it, I just don't have to bring it to mind :D AND YES. I've been sleeping a whole lot. I love sleep.

I love my room too! I used to have this collection of stuffed animals, and since then I've had this strange attachment to them. I should be a *cool* teenager though, and donate them, too, but I think it would break me XD I've kept my room clean, but I want to do it more! Strange the things one does...

ALSO I WANT THAT PIN. When I had my quinceañera (oh so long ago, it seems) I wanted to design my cake after the Starry Night, but we had a change of plans. I still want a cake like that though. OOH! I have a new among-favorites impressionist painter (except he's still alive haha). His name is Leonid Afremov--he even has a DeviantART! You should look him up. I LOVE his use of colour.

I LOVE ACCENTS. I LOVE DESSY'S ESPECIALLY. 

(Dude. I will SEND you my first copy. I'll even be pretentious enough to sign it :D)

So we'll both have great career paths! YAY.

I NEED TO WATCH LOST. My darling Sawyer lost his Juliet and I CRIED. I CRIED ALL THE CRIES. I didn't like them together but then I did.

My brother has the catapult video and won't sent it to me. Sigh.

YES! We have plans for our fame now. Deal! 

I need to get braces too... it would freak me out though. I've been fighting the dentist thing for a while, but I'll eventually have to cave. I REALLY HATE THE DENTIST. But I hope you can get the invisalign! That's what I wanted, too.

Haha! We deserve a reward for talking about the weather for SO. LONG.

YAY ARTISTS! Atomic Tom hasn't done anything recently ): But you must send me some song recommendations. 

OH. Kathi left for Germany yesterday. I keep turning around and expecting her to be here. It feels so strange without her.

Okay, I'd better stop now because I'm exhausted and I have to get up early tomorrow

(FIRST PART OF THE MESSAGE BELOW. It cut off my message! I am not amused XD Well, maybe a little. Seriously though this is the second part)

I was talking to one of my debate friends and I told her that I wish I could just stop existing for a while and then come back completely refreshed. Like, not have any obligations for like a week then come back and resume life like nothing happened. I'm so tired of being tired! That'd be really cool actually! I promise there is nothing wrong with me... *sigh*

I should stop writing now, shouldn't I?

*sorry but now AP week is over yay*

THANK YOU! And cutting my hair was a bit of an out of the blue decision. I just looked at my hair, was assaulted by the Texas heat, and decided I would like it better short. I'm used to it by now, but back when I read your comment it was very unusual for me because brushing my hair used to take me forever and now it takes me ten seconds.

9 days! NINE MORE DAYS JESSICA. I AM NOT GOING CRAZY I SWEAR. *going nuts* It's really bad. I can't even spell. I usually never proofread but now I have to type and retype words TOO many times.  WE CAN DO THIS JESSICA, AND KEEP OUR BASIC SPELLING SKILLS INTACT MEANWHILEAOINIEABFOE OH WHO AM I KIDDING.

I can't even type XD It's bad. It's really bad. Also, I'm language confused. I can't even stick to English! I'LL EVEN START COMMUNICATING IN FRENCH. (it's taking me forever to type this because of all my errors)

I 

love

sleep.

You're right. I think it's God's best creation XD I gave up on that whole "no sleep" business because I am literally a zombie merely trudging through these last weeks of school.

Also, my room is beautifully clean. I reorganized everything :D Here, I have a picture: 

Everything's nice and neat and organized and exactly how it's supposed to be. (my room is too unusual but at least every unusual piece is in its unusual place).

I love people! I don't know what's going on with me but that's just my general sentiment. Like, at school my thoughts will mainly consist of (I am going nuts Jessica help me) "Ughhhh... Physics... kill me.. test... ew... what's the equation?.. who even cares?.. what does it matter.. ha that guy made me laugh! I love people so freaking much!" People fascinate me even in my deteriorating state.

(thanks for complimenting my title haha if  I ever write my autobiography I'll be sure to let you know :D)

YES. I DO NEED SLEEP. *dies slowly*

Yeees :D You'd be the best teacher. and I love the golden ratio. (Donald Duck in Mathemagicland is my ex-Geometry teacher's favorite movie. I kind of love it too). People would pay to have someone amazing like you teach their kids. You'd do great.

TURNIP HEAD IS AARON. Claire's child :3

Oh, could you ask Jacob if he ended up deciding to take Physics? I'm kind of curious. I wish him the best. *done with Physics basically*

OH MY CATAPULT IS TURNED IN. I WILL UPLOAD A VIDEO EVENTUALLY AND WHY AM I EVEN WRITING IN CAPS I CAN'T HANDLE MYSELF RIGHT NOW.

I haven't been on Youtube since I spoke to you! I'd better go watch that Bistro video... I will comment on there :D

How'd your dentist appointment do? *has dentophobia* 

1. I'm glad I met you too :D And that you've read this far into my pseudo-dementia. 

2. Prom next year will be fantastical. 

OH. NEW TOPICS. So, I'm putting my writing portfolio together and I'm really, really nervous about it. It has to be things I've written in Creative Writing class and I'm not sure if I'm a fan of all that stuff. OH WELL What's done is done. Who even cares it's the end of the year (there is something wrong with me. I have senioritis and I'm not even a senior).

Also, I have loads of projects this week. WHY? Why can't the famed 'Dead Week' exist?! GIVE ME THESE NINE DAYS.

I was talking to one of my debate friends and I told her that I wish I could just stop my normal life for a while and then come back completely refreshed. Like, not have any obligations for like

Jessica :D Thank you so much! You have beautiful handwriting by the way. I want to print it so I can put it on my wall XD Gracias~ 

(I will reply to your comment soon. It's AP week(s)... AAAAAAAAAAAH -dead-)

Ahhh Jess, sorry I didn't get back in time to talk to you. It was great that Doug was alive again tonight, but it was too chaotic to get in some good conversation. Soon though! School should be slowing down soon, hopefully, and even if it doesn't it has to end soon and DIE FOREVER so then it will for sure! Haha, but I'll talk to you soon. Wield your umbrella with might.

*Happy Tax Day!*

I know! Same here! I've hardly been home at all this weekend. It's awful. I don't understand why, but I guess that is how life is deciding to workout nowadays. 

Keeping my fingers crossed that these last six weeks pass quickly. I NEED THEM TO. I AM GOING CRAZY. But we're almost there! We can do it! We are strong and the like! Also, next year I'm only taking five classes. That should be more relaxing. 

I know, the official names are "Winter Break" but everyone calls it Christmas break anyway :P As for Spring break... we got ours WAY too early. I think April is a good month to have it. It's right in between and it leaves the final streak as more relaxing.

Haha! That is hilarious :P I mainly get excited about break because I get to SLEEP. (but then I end up staying up until 3 in the morning anyway. I just love TALKING to people). I think I understand, though. I love catching up on work. I love being all caught up and having my room clean and everything. I feel so wonderfully accomplished. That's a nice feeling to have.

Like I said, I love talking to people. So that survey was fascinating! People are just awesome. They all have their unique backgrounds and personalities, and everyone, absolutely everyone, has a story to tell. The important discovery we all need to make is what we're going to do with our stories. Some paint it, some write it, some draw it, some invent something amazing out of it. (I have this weird reverence for words and stories that I can't explain.) If  I ever was pretentious enough to write an autobiography, I'd call it: "My Life as an Untitled Story."

I need to sleep.... eh... not really. 

Weather is bipolar EVERYWHERE. It's all stormy and rainy today--the perfect weather. I've never heard of tornados in California XD I'm sure the people there would go nuts. I can handle earthquakes but tornadoes are far too frightening!

*yes yes yes I want to be Dr. Aimée even more now! it's so cool I can't get over it*

You'll be like that sub I had this week. She LOVED Moby Dick, and she went crazy for the symbolism. You'll be like that but with math. :3 You'll teach this generation to love the maths!

I don't have Netflix D: But we already got Season 4 so we're good. IT'S SO WEIRD. AND CHARLIE. AND WHEN HURLEY TOLD CLAIRE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AND HOW TURNIP HEAD CRIED. TOO MANY FEELS. JUST TOO MANY.

*calms down*

I talked to Jacob about Bio once :P I can definitely believe that haha! I think I convinced him to take Physics? Hm... we'll see how that goes XD

THINGS: I just wanted to say Jessica, that I appreciate you and your messages greatly. I know the Komm is a tough place to be nowadays but thanks because people like you make it better. You're a great internet friend~ (Also you are an amazing artist I am not kidding. Your youtube speed drawings blow me away).

THING 2: I ended up not going to prom :P NEXT YEAR IT IS.

I  had more things to write but I totally forgot. SO ADIOS~ 

*no clue how late my response is*

NO NO NO. You are an awesome person to message like this. And life is its own hurried self, isn't it? 

Anyway...

I have... hm... ehh. Too many days. I am so sick of school it's ridiculous. BUT I HAVE NO MORE BREAKS. Might as well drop out of high school now (just kidding. I'm too 'responsible' for that). OH SQUASH. Being a freshie again will not be my favorite thing /: But we can do it. We are strong. *clinging to hope*

I'm glad you liked the message :D

2,000 other students is definitely too much, but at the same time, I always meet new people, and my friend Sarah and I always go around just talking to random people, doing surveys and the like. Great way to meet new people. (also to find things out: More people want to go to prom than not). So the upside is that I know a lot of people. The downside is that I don't know a lot of people.

To quote Dallas: "You should Google sleep sometime." It's a luxury D: But, alas, we must trudge along. I do vote for less school though. That sounds luscious. 

XD Any country song suggestions are welcome. Though I would be surprised if you found one I actually liked. 

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TORNADO RIGHT. It was traumatic. Not Texas weather's finest moment. I prefer your weather... *sigh*

I love cooking. But I mostly love the science behind it--it's fascinating to the extreme! And yes, Dr. Aimée I shall be (: 

Exactly. You'd make an AMAZING math teacher. Just an accepted indisputable fact of life. That's awesome. 

YES. LOST is fantastic! Sadly, we have yet to get Season four from the library... I am anxious to see it! 

I love science. I just love it. Science is the love of my life. Science and I are in a very fulfilling relationship. Science and I love each other (shall I continue?) 

And getting chemistry jokes is just an upside XD

I read your blog and commented and everything *throws confetti* YAY! 

New over here: nothing of consequence :D Yay for my monotonous school monopolized life! *three unenergetic cheers*

Wooo, thanks Jess! Yeah, I was pretty surprised. I guess they just spelled my name like that to "protect my identity" or something? Maybe they didn't want to say people's full names for the Internet without their consent. But they really didn't change it that much, so... they may have just mistyped it, haha.

Aww.. thankies, Jess! I think I overdid it a little on the virtual cake..

Excellent job on the artwork, you've got a gifted hand!

*made pie on pi day. it was blueberry*

Sadly, I was never graced with a Pi Shirt, though now that I read through your whole message I definitely want one! How am I supposed to survive Pi Day otherwise? How am I supposed to live with myself?

I guess all I have to do now is beware the Ides of March

(that's today by the way)

(have you read Julius Caesar or am I being too confusing)

That is true. Time does pass by very quickly. Before you know it we'll be done with Junior year and we'll be nostalgic ol' seniors going over the wonders of our Junior years (yeah right) and the absolute horrors of being Freshies (*shudders*). We'll be all ready to graduate but at the same time we'll appreciate the great time we were allowed in high school.

Just kidding Seniors don't seem that wise (but we'll be!)

You're popped in the chat right now :D *excitement* As you can see this is a retype. (sadness overcome). Also, I seriously want to know what Doug looks like know. He'd probably look awesome, aside from being a rectangle with words and pictures and smileys in him. Doug is le coolest. (is the moon great today?)

I used to go to a small school, with about three seniors (to give you a general idea). That's WAY too small for me, but your school seems just about the right size It seems like you'd get to know people a lot better, as opposed to when you're surrounded by 1,500 other Juniors all wandering around campus just as confused as you are. Most of them aren't going to prom this year, and apparently neither am I. :D Senior year here we go.

I need sleep! Jessica, admonish me D: I've been awful this week. Really, it should be illegal in at least 37 states. I've stayed up beyond midnight, never earlier, usually until like 4, either because I'm on the phone or because I'm just too excited about the night to be tired. I just can't even fathom it. Next week I'll be exhausted.

Younger brothers are the coolest, in spite of their... faults. They just can't help being that way.

Christian screamo amused me greatly :P I had no idea that existed in any way. But like you, I have a pretty solid love for most genres of music. In fact, some day I might even find a country song I can remotely tolerate. Well, at least half of one. Hopefully more (I need help). Then I will be a more well-rounded individual. But finding good country... man, that'll be hard for me to do on my own.

Here it's been miserably hot and sunny, even inside (sans the sunny). There is no escaping the ridiculously high temperatures. It's ridiculous, it's Texas. If it's this bad in March, who knows how awful it'll be come July? I envy your nice, cool rain. That stage in my life with Texas seems to be gone, unless Uncle David is completely right.

I need to do that word document thing. Has it really been three months? Man, time really does fly! I was looking over my Kommwall and I did realize most of my comments were from you :D I love these messages. They're so fantastic.

Plans: 

2 years getting my Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu

5 getting my Master's in Food Science with a concentration in Culinology, which is awesome because I'd be doing experiments with food and helping in the Food Service industry (second biggest employer in the US after the government)

I also plan to get a PhD in it so I'll be Dr. Aimée. You just watch. it's going to happen. :) One of those years I'll study in Spain, where I plan to live for a while (me+spain+spanish=Realization of my dreams) This also enables me to major in Spanish, which would open up a lot of doors for me. A PhD in Food Science and a BA in Spanish... pretty well-rounded, I'd say.

Poetry awards ceremony in exactly 10 days! *guess who can't wait* 

Glad that amused you :P Hurley does have a habit of repeating words. And Charlie and Claire... can I repeat. Adorable. Also, Kate apparently loves Sawyer now. I always liked them together better than Jack/Kate. We don't need those two to be together. Ever :P

XD I love that! It's so amusing!

Another Chem joke:

Two men walk into a bar.

The first man says, "Hm.. I'll just have a little H2O."

The second man says. "Cool! I think I'll have some H2O, too"

The second man died.

(Chem jokes are so great)

Anyway, I really have to go say goodbye to you and be off to the movies to watch Extremely loud and Incredibly Close with Kathi! This is another day I'll stay up past midnight (yayayayay)

*ceases to exist*

*is also excited about canvas painting because people that canvas paint are awesome in my book*

I still have far too many days left of school! Thankfully, as you know, the week is off so I get to rest (hypothetically. really all I've done is explore downtown). I am so ready for senior year. In fact, I am so ready to graduate! *will elaborate more on that later* I literally am counting the days. Every day I come home is one day closer to my graduation. It'll be our reward! *confetti* (tangent: You're missed on le chat D': no one understands Doug or confetti). As far as I know, my current school remains. Usually the plans to move start around this time.

30 seniors... HA. XD I just pictured a prom with only that amount of seniors. Prom is supposed to be an event only for seniors, in my opinion. Otherwise, if you go every year, it's just not special. I get Homecoming. Go every year if you can manage it. But keep prom special. Yay group~ so much better than awkward dates.

This is the last break I have this year D: I wish it were later so it'd help me relax before AP tests and stuff. I'm milking this break for all it's worth. I try to change my attitude about sleep :P It's not working out too well.

XD I love my little bro as well. He's the coorest, but he is a bit temperemental.

I can do some metal, but screamo is not my thing. I find it hilarious, however, that my city has a Christian screamo station XD I didn't know that existed! The only genres I can't stand are that and country (sorry?)

YAY WEATHER! 

"If you don't like the weather in Texas, it's okay. Just wait 20 minutes."

-Uncle David

Our weather was 80 today, 40 yesterday (yay for using F) 

Woah! How'd you calculate that? That sounds like a lot :D And we can make it more~~ *makes mini cheesecakes to motivate*

About my wanting to graduate: I chose my college and made my plans :D I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Every day I turn to Kathi and say: "I wanna go to college!" I need to graduate. I'm excited about the direction my life is going, about my major and what I'm going to do with it. It actually astounds me, because I never thought I'd be so sure about my decision that I'd actually be that excited.

Anyway, it's all going well :) I won a poetry contest and the awards ceremony is in about two weeks. So I'm psyched about that as well.

ALSO WHAT IS WITH LOST AND MORE THAN ONE ISLAND AND HURLEY SAYS DUDE SO MUCH AND CHARLIE AND CLAIRE ARE SO SICKENINGLY ADORABLE.

Oh, also, CLAIRE TOOK CHARLIE'S HAND (I watched this episode so long ago but the feelings still remain)

And Desmond D: I hope he's alive. (getting close to Season 3 finale!)

*really loves LOST too much it's scary*

Consider yourself forgiven :P Trust me, I know what it's like to be busy. Don't stress about it--this is for fun.

Now shall we:

I really, really, really need to get to Senior year already. You're right, we'll be the coolest seniors ever :D The world will be so jealous. And just watch--we'll get our free time, at least as a prize for all this suffering this year put us through. We can always hope!! *optimism shot* And I agree about not taking 9 classes :P It's probably not the best idea if you want a relaxing year. As for me switching schools, I'm keeping my fingers crossed~ I really, really love my school (it's structured to be like college). I have very relaxed teachers even in my extremely stressful classes. You know , the usual. So if I stay here, I'll have my friends and my people and my fun. 

Let's see. As of today, I have 89 days left of school! I can only hope I'll make it haha

Okay, on the subject of Prom. See, most of my friends this year are exchange students, so this is their year to go. They want to go as a group and they want me to go but I can't unless some misguided senior invites me. To be honest, I really don't want to go this year :P but I do want to have this experience with my friends. I've always thought of Prom as more of a Senior year thing, and I never really agreed with schools that let juniors go just because. Mine is Seniors only, unless your date is a lowerclassman. I'm definitely going next year though-it's Prom and it's my Senior year. But I can settle for chick flicks with friends easily :) I'm sure you can find someone to go with by Senior year. (hopefully it's not that hard to find someone to go to Prom with). Even then, group attendance at Prom is a longstanding tradition (one that I hope to uphold due to my astonishing lack of someone to go with).

There's an ice skating rink like 15 minutes from my house. Hopefully I'll try it out in the near future (: 

My Spring break is next week and it's ONLY a week. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THE REST OF THE SEMESTER WITH ONLY A WEEK OF BREAK AND I AM GOING TO STOP RANTING NOW.

...do you and Jacob ever fight? (I fight with my bro ALL the time. But it's like a friendly arguing, not a beat you with words kind of fighting). And Good thing Life won't crush you guys XD

Country is just... ehhhh... 'iffy' for me.

(but writing IS better than sleep~ your math thing is so accurate I laughed so hard hahaha)

Our weather is slowly improving from Texas-all-over-the-place to Texas'-erratic-definition-of-normal. Which is a big up for the weather here. I love rain I love rain I love rain I love rain :D As for my weatherman.... I'm keeping an eye on him.

(College visits this week! wish me luck~)

AHH I'M SO JEALOUS. I can't wait for mine to come! :3
