As I have vowed to my master, RKP, I shall do every survey that she posts.
Hark, she posted TWO. And then I thought, "Hey, why not do a double whammy post and have two surveys in one instead of wasting valuable post space?"
Then I thought "Wow, I'm a good conserver."
This is the result (:


SURVEY UNO

What would you be if you could be ...


A Vegetable I would be Baby Bok Choy. For the obvious reasons.


An Animal Maybe a sloth because they're allowed to be lazy and sleep all day and their madre doesn't yell at them.

A Fruit Kiwi because I'm currently eating it and it is quite delectable.


A Color Hmm. Maybe yellow. Or orange because they are sunny colors. And I like to think of myself as a somewhat sunny person.


A Household Object A blender. Because I mix things up!!!


Article of Clothing Shorts because legs should be allowed to breathe and I want to be the object that allows that freedom.


A Drink Green Tea because it is the most amazing drink in all the land


A Famous Person Karen O. We've discussed my obsession before. Must I explain again?


A Film Character Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's played by the stunning Audrey Hepburn. Just because she is who she is. AND maybe Esmeralda in Hunchback of Notre Dame because that woman is one TOPSY TURVY gypsy!

A Cartoon Character Snoopy because he seems content not talking and just contently laying on top of his red dog house. He just seems like a content canine.


A Car An offroading Jeep with no doors and windows because I would think that would be quite the adventure. I likada adventure.


A City New York City because it seems very hectic and exciting and busy and fun! Or maybe, somewhere like Bethesda, Maryland because I could be all by my lonesome in my content exsistence. Either would be nice


A Country Australia because then I'd get to hear the accents every waking minute. But I don't think countries have ears. But if they did, I'd want to be Australia


A Mythical Creature Does a Gypsy count?


A Chocolate Bar Twix because they're luscious and delicious and caramelly and amazing

If you had to choose-

save your cat or save your enemy?
I'd rather a cat die than a human, no matter how much I hate them.

Freeze because you'd go numb after awhile. Burning, you'd feel everything and it would hurt like a mother.

Yes

break the law or lie to save a friend?
Depends

Being Rejected!

being raped or willingly having sex and later regretting it:
Being raped is definitely worse

being dumped is worse!

falling in love with an anime character or falling in love with a celebrity

your true love moved out of the country?
I would go with him, but it depends on the situation.

your friend gave you the choice of cheating on the really tough math final?
That also depends on the situation

a friend offered you drugs or alcohol?
I would use my refusal skills and say NO! But really.

a friend of the same gender told you they were gay and asked you out?
I would be bizarred because I am in no way a lesbian. And that would confuse me that they would want to go out with me.

your bf/gf asked you to have sex with them?
Right now, I say that I would say No, I want to wait till marriage, but who knows? I want to stay true to God and not have premarital sex, but I don't know what I'd realllly do.

Final Thoughts

Are you saved?
Yes, since January 23, 2007

No

What are you hoping for in the future?
A prosperous life with a husband that I love, healthy children, a nice house, etc. But I would throw that ALL away if I wasn't happy.
I just want to be happy in life.

What makes you happy?
People. (They hopefully know who they are) Cholo Food. MUSICCCCAA. Green TEA. The Canyon and the Canyon Folk. (: And those tiny things that just bring joy into your heart. I could never make a complete list of what makes me happy. That is impossible

What makes you sad?
The society we live in.

Do you believe in the Bible?
Yes.

Why or why not?
There is not a reason for these things! If my heart believes it, then my heart believes it! Why must you question my heart?!


I TAG YOU!














Melissa and I have discovered that Lord Voldemort is a great person to base your jokes around.

For example, Melissa Crap, Heather Kitten, and I were lounging in my jacuzzi playing "Who Would You Rather Kiss" I know, I know, immature to its fullest extent, but we are boy crazy children. But here's the catch...We were doing it with all Harry Potter characters, for we had just viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the day before.

So we were like "Snape or Gremlin Midget Man" and we would answer with who you would rather smooch. So this was like an ongoing game that night and it was so hilarious.

Okay here's a true story:

One of us declared, "Voldemort or Karl Punu"

I was honestly bewildered and I chose Voldemort. For serious though. I would rather kiss Lord Voldemort than Karlos Punu.

And then THIS evolved into an insult which is truly insulting.



"If I had the choice to kiss you, or Voldemort...I'd choose Lord Voldemort"

You have to say those exact words, and when you choose to use this insult, you cannot laugh. You have to keep a straight face and be angry at the person. It is probably the funniest thing ever.



Crapster and I decided later on that night we would call various men and insult them with that insult. I was the one who delivered the insult for I was the best at it. Mind you, it was around midnight so many of them were groggy and confused. They didn't get it..



This insult trumps "YOU HAVE A FAT NOSE AND YOUR SIX" insult. By far. Who agrees?

3. ATHLETE: David Beckham. I know he's a man, but I don't care. He is one of the most beautiful men on this planet. I want to be him. Actually, I want him. But whatever (:

4. FAMOUS MUSICIAN: KAREN O KAREN O KAREN O! She's the front man (front woman?) and singer in the band Yeah Yeah Yeah's which is my absolute favorite band ever. I admire her for her mannerisms. She makes absolutely flawless music and the way she moves is astonishing. I seriously aspire to be Karen O. Plus, the way she can wear anything and everything, no matter how outrageous and crazy, is bewildering. She is the one person I want to be. I know that's impossible, but I just try my hardest anyways. She makes me dance in my heart.

Oh, by the way, Me and Nomad are being Karen O Twins for Halloween. We already planned it.


5. CHRISTIAN MOVER AND SHAKER: If Karen O was Christian, it would be her. I don't think she is. Oh well...She has amazing dance moves. Is that what this is asking for? When I see "Mover and Shaker" I think dancer.

I tag everybody!

melissa crap and I were together from thursday night until tuesday which is tonight. obviously, there has to have been many things that went on. let me tell ya, we had some fun.


Basically, our time together is literally unbloggable. I'm not exaggerating right now..





Just think about this:


Joanna Chiang and Melissa Cripe. The Slutty Gypsy and Conservative Gypsy. Many times of butting heads and many times of hystericality at its best. That's hard for even me to grasp it, but I experienced it.


I truly wish to blog about this, but again..there are no words for these 6 days.


If you really want to know about it, ask me and I'll TRY to put it into words, but it is not an easy task.

This picture tries to summarize these 6 days and fails. That's how amazing it was. So ASK ME ABOUT IT!

P.S. These two blogs suck because they don't tell you anything. I really apologize. I want to blog about this, but it's honestly too explicit and I don't want to offend anyone




July 20th, 2007. A historical day in JJC's world.
Why don't you guess what happened.
A turkey massacre in Pennsylvania?
No.
A butterfly named Caleb and me giving birth to baby foxes?
No.
A boa constricter eating Genghis Khan?
No.
Lord Voldemort smooching me?
Close, but no.

Well. July 20th, 2007. The longest day of my live. So many mixed feelings and emotions. So many out of control outbursts on the floor. There are no words that can portray the actual feeling of this boisterous day in a blog. Also, almost all of these events are explicit and I do not wish for them to be published on the World Wide Web. And that is why I request a little something from you. If you want to know about this amazing day, then you must talk about it to me in person or on the phone. So you know what to do (:

P.S. I am sorry for being cruel and posting about this when I didn't inform you about the day. But, I couldn't be explicit in this blog, and this whole day was explicit. So, that wouldn't work out. I love you all. Talk to me about it, friends! I must share!




As most of you know, I am doing a volleyball camp at Trabuco. So, when I decided to do this camp, I had a couple reasons, but none were very substantial.
My reasons:
1) I'm tall.
2) I played at school before.
3) I don't want to do P.E.
4) WHY NOT?

Substantial? I think not.
But, I gave it a try anyways because I was going to have nothing better to do. I didn't think much of it, I just thought it was going to pass the time and get me in shape. Now, I'm in my 4th out of 5 weeks of this camp, and it has turned out to be SO much more.

I love this game. I love it with my whole heart. I usually hate organized sports and anything having to do with them, but seriously...I am passionate. Everything about it, I love. Even the agilities and the sprawls and the shuffling...I complain, but secretly, I love it all. When I'm there, all I think is volleyball, volleyball, volleyball. I don't talk to people...I just play When I'm on the court, I'm nowhere else. Just there, and I'm in the ZONE. I know, cliche, but it's so true.

I know for a fact I'm not one of the best players there. There are about 60-75 girls who show up every day. Out of those girls, about 20 of them play Club Volleyball and have played for more than a year. My first time playing, was the first day of camp... I have a huge disadvantage. Experience is everything, and I dont have that. But, I'm trying to block the Club girls out and befriend them and not let their experience faze me. The coaches are still deciding whether they're going to have a FroshSoph team AND a Freshmen team, or just one team. I really hope they have two teams so that I have a greater chance of making it. If they don't have two teams, that means they're only taking 11-13 girls. That leaves basically no chance for non-Club players and some Club girls wouldn't even make it. If there were two teams, they'd take about 22-24 girls. That still leaves like 4 non-Club girls a spot. That's not a lot. At all. I want this SO bad. I've never wanted anything more in my life.

Now there's 6 more days of practice, meaning only 6 more days to prove I'm good enough. There's even a practice from 7-9 in the morning...Those of you who KNOW me know I wouldn't usually go to that, I'd just skip. But, this is VOLLEYBALL. I'm not going to skip, and I dont want to. I want to make this team, and I'm going to do whatever it takes. I'm going to go every single day, stay late to help clean up, whatever is going to get me on this team.

Whoever reads this, please pray for me. Pray I get better and better every day and that God gives me the perserverance (?) to keep going for what I want. And of course that I make the team. (: If I make this team, I'll get back on the right track. Lately, I've been flaking on everything. Friends, family, myself, and God. I think volleyball is making me focus and realize a lot. It gives me something to go for. I never have goals, but this is a HUGE one. If I make this team, it's going to do so much good in my life, I can tell... I need this.

YEAH, YOU GUESSED IT!

TRAINS!
