No matter where I go, I know where I came from...Im still, Im still Jenny from the block!

How'dy y'all! Im back (again!). Been up to Norfolk for two weeks with my mum n mate Ash. It was okay, nothing to do really, we were in a cabin by a fishing lake. Me and Ash went swimming and used the local gym most days. And we went shopping most days aswell!!!

Ive got some cool pics and a really embarrasing story i think u will all like!!

Just want to clear this up, my favourite animal is dogs and pigs....NOT ducks!!!

There are gonna be quite a number of pictures of ducks, sorry!

I was extremely bored!

This is just abit bigger than my normal room at home. This was mine n Ash's room!

More ducks!

okay, there just gettin boring now!!

I won't say what this looks like to me! but it is a frog that we found behind our car!

The kitchen. The first night we got there, we went food shopping and I (mum actually!) bought some Ben n Jerrys, when we got to the cabin, there was no freezer....so me and Ash had to eat all the ice cream that night!! Such a shame!!

The sitting room, mum moved everything round because she didn't like how it was arranged!! lol!

The lil' TV in the corner, n looking out onto the lake! - wot a view! *yawn*

Aint seen ducks in a while!

Me openin the gate for the cars! In the background u can c a path where i was runnin and tripped over a thing in the ground...now my legs bruised!

Ash smelling her shoe! We were on the way to Norwich (which is said Noridge!!!!) to do some shopping, and we went down a road and it STUNK and i mean BAD. Ash prefered the smell of her cheesy feet to it...and thats saying something!!

The bathroom...there were so many spiders in here...erg!

Any-who...i will have more pictures coming from my camera, but i need to use up the film...so ull have to wait!

Embarrasing moment:Me and Ash had been to the gym saturday morning and the leisure centre had a sunbed-TAN!!! I got a token, but they didn't tell me how to use it (ive never used a tanning bed in my life!) it wasn't a bed, it was one that u stand up in, but anyway...She told me that if i need help to pull the 'emergency stop' string. She didn't tell me what happened if i did or anything, so i automatically thought it would stop the machine. So, id been in there for what felt like 5 mins, (really 3) then the lights went out...so i got out and got changed. But the machine kept making a noise, so i opened it back up and pulled the 'emergency string'...BIG mistake...a LOUD alarm went off. and i mean LOUD, it was ear-drum piercing! 3 lifeguards came rushing to the door, knocking on it sayin 'open up' so i did. I could see Ash sittin in her seat in the forum laughing, i was bright red, it was SO embarrasing! im never going first in a sunbed again! and dya know the irony of it all?...i didn't even get a tan! typical!

sorry if this post sucks. but its SO hard to get back into blogging!

hope y'all had a good holiday!

Small or Tall

I want to dedicate this post to small and tall people! I seriously, honeslty don't want this post to be harsh to ANYONE whose short or tall, ok?

There are loads of amazing Tall and Short people...


This guys 8 foot 11 inches!!! Woah!




These dudes are so cute! Don't ya just wanna hug them!



If you've never seem him before, hes from Jaws, this film used to freek me out, now I love it!



This dudes from one of my favourite programs; JACKASS!!! hes called WeeMan, hes amazing!

I decided to do this post because my mate Bex (theres ya mention hun! Luv yaxxx) called me small....now ive been called ALOT of things before, but never small!! It was actually really strange!

At Soul Survivor I relised.....Im not growing!!! Jon and Andrew are both taller than me now! nooo! I used to be taller than them, used to be able to rest on them, but now its different! The only way i can make myself taller is buy wearin those boots that everyone hates!!!

I can't believe i actually wore those! don't worry, im more of a flip flop person now!!!...anyway...i remember one time at @ttitude, Jon n Andrew tried my boots on, it was HILARIOUS! so funny watchin them tryin to walk around! Im actually quite suprised how Andrew didn't brake his ankle with his twig-like legs! ahh man *flash-back* i wish i had my camera then!

ahem...right....

I think it would be quite cool to be small, you can crawl through peoples legs to get to the front of a concert or something. (although i already do it but if your small you probably wouldn't get so many looks!)

At Soul Survivor, Me and Brett were quein up to see Hillsongs United (which ROCKED by the way!) and we were quite near the back of the queue, so i jumped in where i saw a gap, i kinda shoved sum people out the way, got sum looks, but nothing bad. Then i dragged Brett by the hand into the same space, then i moved forward even more, but this time there was no gap!! Brett started singing to distract attention away from me while i moved forward! Then Brett came forward, i love doing that, its actually really fun and seeing peoples faces just tops it off!!

i don't want to be harsh, but when people make up some original jokes about peoples height, i think its so funny...i even try n remeber them sometimes!! I know the tall/short jokes get irritating for the people who there aimed at, but just think how it sounds when your not that person.

I do think small people are extra cuddly though! there like the kind of small dog u can have on your lap while watchin TV (if ya get what i mean!) But also, tall people can be good for piggy backs!!!

anyway, im gonna end my post with sayin...

I love you all

J to the L-O...Hello!


Yes, J-lo is back! (for y'all that don't know thats me! its a story im not gonna go into)

Anyway, im back from Soul Survivor, which i must say ROCKED! So cool, only had one day/afternoon of rain which was cool (better than last NewDay!:p)



There was; Tim Hughes, Hillsongs United, Titus, Spoken Groove, Delirious?, One Hundred Hours and many more bands and artists that ROCKED the place out. It was an amazing week!

I made a couple of friends, my aim was to make at least one new friend each night, when it got to about the 3rd/4th night, i kinda stopped getting people to sign my name tag thingy! I made 3 friends in the first night, and then another 2 another night after that. so fun! One guy (James Maxwell) he was called Ketchup Boy, Clare or Loretta, depending on what mood he was in! lol! i LOVED his hair though! If anyone knows James Maxwell, get him to contact me! We sat on the steps near our camp site (outside the loos!) at the end of each night for a while n just sang songs, threw water-bombs, chatted to people, just chilled.

There was a cafe with bean bags...So cool! we got a photo taken by sum1, which was fun then we bundled once he had gone! I luved that cafe.

Also, one night me, russell, lyds, serena and Rachel wanted to get into see the film, but there was 'no space in the inn' so we went round the back to the projection room and hid in there watching the film! was so funny! Lyds was doing dances to the songs in the film and also.....she was gonna poo in the corner cuz she was so desperate!! but don't worry, she didn't!!

On the last night meeting it was AMAZING. Everyone got into it, people getting prayed for, people falling backwards, amazing worship, absolutely brill! i prayed for a couple of people. Im not sure if serena's gonna be annoyed with me saying this and not her, but ill put it anyway, Serena got prayed for the gift of tongues...and she received it! WAHOO! Then it was my turn to get prayed for...i won't go into any detail cuz it isn't necessary, but when i was lying on the floor, i was COMPLETELY out of it and apparently (Iz told me this after) these people started a conga line and people were running and treadin on my feet and andy rushed to my feet and had to push people away in the other direction! Apparently my feet were getting thrown about! i have no recollection of that!!

The last night; me, brett, andy, serena, ben, lydia, iz, racheal, tash, ludo, rob, rachael, dave, jon, steve, bev and a whole load of others went to 'Mr Boggies'....a disco type thing. WAS SO MUCH FUN!! just before it finished, me and Lyds went out to wait for james (a new friend we'd made) and then shackles came on (now for all that know me well enough, you will know what i did next!) i RAN full pelt, shoving people aside to get back in where everyone else, was just to dance n sing! Brett pulled me into the middle of the circle we'd made and i dragged serena in with me, we just went mental, singing dancing. SO much fun! For all of you who don't know, Shackles is one of my most favourite songs of all time!!!



But since ive been away, i think my blogging enthusiasm have gone....im sure ill get back into it, but im going away on saturday...HELP!

...

Sometimes, Lord, when they say
i haven't come as far
as i should have
since meeting you,
i stop and wonder
if thats how you feel, too,
and i wonder if you're disappointed
in me and maybe you wish
you hadn't asked me to
follow you at all.



But, Lord, i know it isn't true,
because even when i fall
in exhaustion from trying to run
ahead of you, You're always there
to let me rest my head on your
shoulder until i can walk again.
i know you're always with me, Lord.
even though they can't see you.

Creation or just boredom?!

When im sitting at the computer and no-one is really talkin online, i normally grab a piece of paper n just start drawing. Yes, all those people who have seen me draw, i am a complete crap drawer, but sometimes crap drawings are an amazing creation! But i vow to your, my readers, whenever Im bored and no-ones talkin on msn, i will write a post. (so your probably gonna see alot more updates!!) Im just gonna warn u now, i know my posts can be crap, but i think the more you blog, the better you become.

Little Miss Perfect:Now, im not gonna say the phrase 'Practise makes perfect' cuz it SOOO doesn't. My good friend Serena had an msn name, something like 'Why do people say practise makes perfect? Because no-one is perfect, so why practise?' EXACTLY. She hit the spot there! No-one is perfect and it annoys the heck out of me. (oh, by the way, i'm probably gonna babble on here...alot!) okay, where was i, oh yeh....'perfect people'...I see right through them. People who think they are perfect are actually fake. I just can't get it round my head that: how can their future husband/wife fall 'in love' with them if they think there perfect? There 'falling in love' with a beautiful women/handsome man with a mask. They've carried that mask on them all there life, but do you know why? They're scared of what they think people will think of them or they are actually insecure inside of who they are. Im not saying i love myself or i think im perfect...im far from it. But i do love what God has given me. He could have given me nothing at all. So, all those 'fake' people out there, God loves you, so don't be ashamed of yourself and take off that mask...and be free!
Manners:And another thing that annoys me is 'manners'. WhAtS wItH tHeM? There just a long list of rules that never ends. (for a close up of that good manners picture and to be able to read it click.) One that my parents beat me with a stick if i don't do is 'Hold both your knife and fork at the dinner table'! so ur not allowed to have one resting on the side of the plate! WHAT! I just don't get them. Is there really any point...like the knife is really gonna get lonely and start cryin if its left on the side of the plate for about 5 minutes! I can understand the please and thank you manners, but not any others really!! Burping and farting...wahoo! so funny! but if a girl/lady does it, people say 'oh, thats not very lady like!' So?! I can be a lady, i know how to, but some times its too much effort. And if u can't do it infront of your boyfriend, who can you do it infront of? Now, im not a real lad's lad, but why is it okay for guys to do it and not gals? Didn't god give it to us as a gift, so why should we be ashamed of it?!

Are you waiting?:Okay, the subject of what God has given me. About 2 years ago, I went to an AMAZING event called 'The Silver Ring Thing'. It was amazing. Its where anyone, any age (not married preferably!) can go and get an abstinence ring and a lil' book and promise God that you will stay pure until your marriage (basically not have sex before marriage!!) There was a pic of me and a couple of friends, except i look extremely different, so try n see if ya can spot me!! (click the second picture!) Im kinda peeking through two people!! Anyway....it was sooo cool, every i spoke to enjoyed it, so it was a HUGE success! But i wanna get my point across....why have sex before u get married?! yeh okay, so u may 'love' your boyfriend....but what if it doesn't work out? Everyone knows the kinda of break-ups, where ya never wanna talk about that person being your 'ex', even if they're a friend. I know that when ya head-over-heels in love you wanna give that special person something that they can treasure forever. But, when ya have sex with ya boyfriend, you've done all the other steps, (most likely) ie; holding hands, kissing, ya know the lil' stuff. So you can't give them to your husband as 'just his'. If you have sex before marriage...u can't give your husband anything really that is actually his. You probably don't/won't like it when ya new girlfriend/boyfriend talks about what they've done, so you wouldn't like it either if your partner for ever can't give anything to you, just for you, that belongs to you.

Withheld Iddiots:Doesn't it annoy anyone else when you get an withheld phonecall on your mobile, but you don't get to it in time to answer it, and you don't get a text or a voicemail message back? The other night, i got about 5/6 withheld phonecalls on my mobile at about 4am, i answered about 4 of them, but i coudn't say anything because my parents would have heard and probably wondered who i was talking to! I really wanna find out who it was. If they said something, i probably would have gone downstairs and had a conversation with them, but i woudn't memo anything, i would have been too tired!!

Tired:I LOVE feeling tired! Sounds weard i know! but i love it! you couldn't give a care in the world what people say or do to you. if they nick ur stuff, its like 'whatever man!' I once fell down the stairs cuz i was so tired, my foot got stuck in my dressing gown and i tripped. It wasn't a head-over-heals fall or anything, but i did hurt! But one thing i hate about being tired is when u have to walk home from somewhere, it seems alot loooonnnnggggeeerrr than normal! or when ur sittin on the sofa call comfy, and then u have to make your way up those BIG MASSIVE steps. arg, whats the point? sleep on the couch!!

Anyway, i think ive blabbed enough tonight, I'll leave you all to be. blessins always my readers!

Peace

Positive People



Jayme is confident. She's not perfect. She doesn't look like a model. She has a few spots, and she can't wait till her braces come off. But she's happy. She likes herself. And everyone around her knows it. That's probably why she has lots of friends.
Sabrina struggles with self-esteem. She's a cute girl but is usually plagued with self-doubt. She has friends, but they often tire of hearing her put herself down.
Both girls are Christians, and both are involved in the youth group at their local church. So what gives?
Jayme has learned the advantage of positive self-talk. Example:Both girls are hungary, and instead of waiting for dinner, they each grab a slice of cake. Later, Sabrina thinks, I'm so stupid! Why did I eat that? I'm so hopeless I couldn't wait until my dinner. Ugh! I'll never lose that five pounds I've been trying to get rid of.
Jayme later thinks, I should've waited until dinner to eat. Grabbing that slice of cake wasn't a good choice. I probably should've eaten a couple of carrots or an apple instead. Okay, so next time I'll remember how I feel now after eating the slice of cake, and I'll grab something healthier instead. I've learned from my mistake, and I'll be more careful nest time. I'm determined to lose those five pounds.
Notice the difference? You have a choice. Each time you blow it, you can either get down on yourself, or you can replace the negative with the positive. Instead of thinking, What if he doesn't like me? (a negative though), replace it with a positive spin such as, How can I make a good impression?
Instead of thinking, I'll probably flunk the test anyway. Shift your thoughts to, How can I best prepare for this test?

Ready to try it? Here are 10 positive things I can almost guarantee you have. Focus on these qualities about yourself and regularly add to the list! When you catch yourself thinking negatively, determine to shirt to positive thinking instead. You can use suggestions from this list of positive qualities, or you can come up with more!
  1. I have a terrific Smile!
  2. I enjoy helping others feel good about themselves
  3. I have nice penmanship
  4. I like surprising my friends with something fun
  5. I love God and am loved by him as though I were the only one in all the world to love!
  6. My eyes twinkle when I smile
  7. People enjoy being around me when I'm happy
  8. I give great compliments to others.
  9. I'm nice
  10. I love to laugh

Memorise this verse, and when you start to think negative thoughts, say it aloud: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things" - Philippians 4:8

Friends

I know i'm probably going to get quite a few comments contradicting this post, but I'm still going to put it.

I think friends are amazing! They're so important to me. I don't know what i would do without friends! They're there for me when I'm low, but even when I jsut want some space to myself and they're phoning seein if I'm okay, i still love them! I mean, what w0uld you do without them? You'd have no-one to phone up just for a chat, no-one to just 'pop round and see' and even no-one to have an argument! (no saying i enjoy havin arguments) what would a friendship be without having arguments?! To me, thats not a real friendship, to me that seems like your both too scared to express your feelings with one another, and isn't that what friends are supposed to do?!?!



As quite a few of you know, me and Amber have fallen out...or kinda...i think...im not exactly sure anymore! But Amber, I just want to say infront of everyone how much you mean to me, I luv ya hun! Your a wicked person to have as a friend. I know we've had our bad times, but we've also had our amazing times, and don't you want anymore of those? Remember the time we tried everyway to get out of Science 5 minutes early. Then just walking round the round-a-bout until the bell went!! And when we were laughing so much outside the changing rooms it hurt, and you nearly walked into Ms Morgan!! And my FAVOURITE moment, when you threw water over yourself by accident!!! QUALITY times!!

I want to be a great help to you with your relationship with God and introduce you to new people to help you and be there for you. Ive been praying for you for sooooooo long and i will continue to. A wise man once told me 'God will not let his children go' and i strongly believe that, so keep in there hun. Well, heres ya post ya wanted mate!

I wanna give a big shout out to all my recent close new-ish friends! Ludo, Rob, Rachael, Rob, Dave, Sam, toby, B, Lizzie, Tash, Tim and many more. Just want you all to know how much i luv ya guys and how cool its been gettin to know you and i hope we can all hang out soon!
