My name is Jennifer: It is currently 3:14 AM

and i have a mild to severe case of insomnia. this is probably due to the fact that when i got home today at 2:15, i changed into some comfy pants, ranted to my mom for a little bit about the fact that i have been done with Personal Progress for almost 2 years, but they just barely added another YW value to the program ("virtue") and my YW leader expects me to do like all the experiences and a 10 hour project for it, and then i crashed on my couch. and slept until like 6 ish, or whenever it was that we ate dinner. obviously, that was a less-than-brilliant idea. i'm now wide awake, even though i've been laying on the couch trying to sleep since 11:50. don't ask me why i felt the need to blog about this, because i'm not sure how i would answer that question.

instead, i'll tell you what's been going on in my life.

for the most part, this "life" i mentioned basically consists of school, cheer, food, and sleep. oh, and prom. but that's more like what i do after school in meetings, and what i think about while i'm doing all of those activities i just mentioned... except sleep. i think about fried-chicken farms when i sleep, apparently. i don't know if you particularly care or not, but prom this year is going to be... how can i put this delicately... well, it's going to be the s-word, pretty much. no, not just "s-word." the s-word... that's a good thing. basically, the theme for prom was TOTALLY my idea, and i like to tell that to anyone who will listen. are you ready for this? "A Walk In The Park." see, the last few proms i've seen/heard of have had some pretty heavy motifs... last year, the theme was "You're My Everything." seriously? this is high school. chances are you're not going to marry whoever you go to prom with, so why have such an intense feel to it? my class isn't even that into this whole prom idea, but we "have" to do it (i'm not going to lie, i would have been incredibly sad if we didn't have prom. but i just don't want to make a HUGE deal out of it.), so we just figured "hey, we might as well make this as fun and chill as we can." so i threw out this idea, and seemed to be pretty well-liked. not only is it just like a nice, chill theme, but we know pretty much exactly what our decorations are going to be and exactly where we're going to get them from. the best part? it's going to cost like nothing. as of now, it looks like we're going to make more money from tickets than we're going to spend on decorations. cha-ching! oh, and our promenade song is balla... "Dancing In The Moonlight" by Toploader, the one from "A Walk To Remember." it's the greatest song! i know i said i didn't want to get all worked up about prom, but i am pretty excited to see how this turns out. right now, it's on March 21st... which is also the day that my sister's baby is due, so my mom isn't going to be here to see me promenade. bummer. oh well, i'd for sure choose the baby over prom if i could, too!

hmm what else to write about... cheer is going pretty alright. i'm finally confident enough in myself to not freak out and have a panic attack every time there's a basketball game. i need to get a picture of me in my cute little uniform and put it on here... OH and i sooo have to get a picture of our cheer crowd... i'm for sure doing that next chance i get. :)

gosh i'm running out of thoughts now. i had like a billion running through my head when i was trying to sleep... oh wait, i know why i can't write down those thoughts. it's because they are top secret ones about Sadie's! haha oh i am so clever so clever just so so clever.

okay well i'm stopping here, because i think my words stopped making sense. i think i'm going to go try and sleep again... wish me luck, folks.

P.S. Dad got some microSD cards for our phones, so i was FINALLY able to get pictures off of my phone and onto here. i'll show you a few of my favorites!
