Life is going so fast! GAH!
I'm really worried about my dad and brother, I've tried calling a million times. My dad at least knows how to answer his phone, so I'm wondering why he won't pick it up. Everyone is headed home, people are really sick, its like the flu is going around. But people are dying.

According to the news, there have been power outages in Utah, and other states. I haven't heard from you at all Jayne, and I'm pissed and worried. Should we go home? If so when? 

I know you will check here. I'm going home, I know I need to. and I'm freaking scared. Todd has been freaking out. He won't leave my side. What should I bring home? How long will I be there. I feel like I should bring stuff to survive. Its looking and sounding creepy out there. Well, I'm going to go pack up my car. I'm glad its fast.

 xoxo, Jean

So turns out the Oscar Mayer crap was nothing to laugh about. Hospitals are super stressed out all over the world due to whatever illness the decrepit meat caused. Makes me really glad I don't eat meat. There's been really wacky power outages all over the place too. All of Northern Utah and parts of Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado and Idaho have been powerless too. It's freaking me out. All this weird stuff is happening all at the same time. And It gives me icky feelings. I haven't heard from Jean since yesterday..I've been trying to get a hold of her all day. My phone's been wigging out though. And Skype will only hold a call for a couple of seconds. Something really weird is going on, and I hate it.

Classes were canceled today on account of over half the student population being deathly ill. This is weird.

I think I'm going home. I just threw up. The nervous kind. Not the "Oh-Shit-Oscar-Mayer-Got-Me!" sick.

Yeah, I'm going home. I'll post when I can.
The weather is shitty too, just so you're aware. It's foggier than hell outside. GAAAAHHH

Jayne and I had a skype date last night. She told me all about her teachers and new people she has met. She has this EVIL english teacher who she calls "umbridge" I'm sure you can figure out why. ;] That girl is so creative. We fell asleep skyping last night. We are so cute, I miss her face. Its hard to be so far away from the only person who doesn't drive you nuts.
If had to be stuck on an island with one person, it'd be her. We would just goof off. Till we died. Peacefully. Hah. Todd has been bouncing off the walls lately. He barks at nothing, and the hair on his back is always up. I don't know what his deal is, maybe the poor guy is going batty. =/

It smells like rain here. I love it. Its so hot, we could use a shower, to make everything clean again. Time to go make myself a salad, and try to study. 

OH! Random thing I saw on the news, Oscar Mayer meats have all been recalled, good thing we don't eat meat Eh Jayne? 

;] hahah, oh goodness. I don't even miss it.

So I went to class today. And fell asleep for majority of my first one. It starts at 9:15. You'd think after 12 years of high school and morning practices that I'd be able to handle 9:15...Guess not. My English teacher was pretty pissed, to say the least. She shut up pretty quickly when I finished her Alice In Wonderland Quote. Which she wasn't expecting. And it was a little mixed up and not entirely correct, but the point got across all the same.

Prof. Umbridge: "Have you gone mad?"--after having rudely cleared her throat just above my head
Me: "I'm afraid so. I'm entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you something...all the best people are"

And then she left me alone. [: Jean would have LOVED that. I texted her about it even. She laughed. Or, well I assume she did. Not like I could actually hear her giggling. But I wish that I could. /: I miss her real bad. We fell asleep Skyping last night.

So my dad brought me my furniture! I'm not a picky sleeper(in fact, I can sleep ANYWHERE), but the carpet in my apartment...it's gross. I dunno who slept on it, or drooled on it, or had sex on it, or pooped on it, maybe even peed on it...I JUST DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS. So I'm really, really glad to have my big giant comfy bed. OH MAN how I missed it. And my blankets, and my couch and my TV. AND MY XBOX! Holy damn.

I try not to think about it, but I miss my dad. And I really miss Jack and Jean. And Matt. (I PROMISE i will have that man's babies). Jean would punch me for saying that :p Truth be told though, she's totally got the hots for Jack. And only admits it when she's under the influence of his presence. Or caffeine. And lots of sugar. But whatever. You get it.

SPEAKING OF JACK AND MATT!!
Jack is playing for the U still. (Football) I can't begin to tell you how weird it is for me to watch the U games on TV and see our last name on the back of his jersey. Like he's ON tv. It kind of just freaks me out, in a good way.
Matt got a promotion at the shop [: that's always super good. I'm so excited for Christmas. We'll all be home TOGETHER snoboarding TOGETHER eating food TOGETHER going to park city TOGETHER. T O G E T H E R N E S S.

I turn twenty next week, weird huh.

DUDE! This hurricane junk is ripping the east coast a new butthole. And Oscar Mayer just recalled EVERYTHING. What the hell am I supposed to do to get protein now?? HAHAHA like I even eat meat anyway. Man I’m funny.
I've got a paper to write. For Umbridge. Dumb ass. Hate, hate, HATE her.

Today was my first day of classes, I can't even begin to tell you how many crazy mind boggling things I saw today. College kids are nuts. I'm not, but they are. I just thought I'll let you know how much I miss right about now Jayne. I wish you were here, I can hear your voice in my head. I can picture how you'd react to things. I brought Todd with me. You knew that, but maybe the readers didn't. Todd is my crazy huge brown lab. He's protective, and loveable, all at the same time. JAYNE! You won't even believe how trashy the girls are here. I wanna run and hide in my little house as to not get eaten alive by hookers. You know how it is. One bonus, no one knows me here. I actually got told my some, must have been high, kid that I'm actually really pretty. Crazy right?!  Remember when we were 16 and becoming human beings? and we made up all sorts of Rules for each other? Things along the lines of  "God Mothers, Dating, Music, Being Vegetarians" and such? We were some crazy kids, and we have stuck to all that. I miss you , my heart can't yearn for you anymore. 

xoxoxox,

My car broke down in Nampa, Idaho. Do you know anyone there? Yeah, I don't either. I'd be lying to you if i said I was surprised by though, my car has been on the fritz since I got it. So anyway. I called my dad and told him what happened. After he got done with his laughing fit, he told me to just let it rest for a minute. I said, "K but how long is a 'minute'?" and he said "i dunno Jayne, it's not like I can just hop in the truck and come get you, love." So then I just sat on the side of the road and slept. I would have turned my hazards on if I knew for a fact they'd turn off. Turns out you get pulled over for driving with your hazards on. Who'd have thought. So about an hour later I crossed my fingers and reached for the ignition, and to my delight it started right up. [: What a champ. 

So then I got here. And I live out of boxes now. First thing I did was unload the laptop and hardrive. I'm okay with sleeping on the floor, since my dad is driving up my furniture later this week. Jean called, she's safe. Thank goodness.

So I realized in my excitement, I never filled you in on my past! How negligent of me. Here goes.

Grew up in Ogden Utah, went to Ogden High School.

Jean's been my best friend for as long as I can remember

My mom left us when we were little,(we being Jack and me. My big brother, he's 22)  she moved back to Alaska to "be with my sick grandma". my poor dad didn't want us hating her. Come to find out, she dealt with severe paranoid schizophrenia. They're still married and she sends us cards and pictures for birthdays and christmas. Other than that though, we don't ever really hear from her. I don't get to heartbroken about it, considering I don't remember her ever really being around or happy. But that's life right? It keeps going [:

I'm 19

Other than Jean, Jack is my best friend. (yeah, all J's. weird, I know)

I'm a daddy's girl.

And I like being happy.

Music, books, and movies are like food and oxygen to me.

I'm pretty sure those are the vital bits of information that you need to know whilst getting to know me.(haha, I used "whilst" in a sentence. if Jean were here, she'd have face-palmed her forehead and rolled her eyes at me)

I never thought I'd see the time when I moved away from home. The day when my little wings started to fly. Or something like that, I don't know. Today I packed the rest of my stuff to move off to Arizona, to go College. Let me start by telling you a little about me, My name is Jean S. Kennedy. No name with that S, just an S, I don't know what my parents were thinking. I'm 19 years old. I've always been that girl nobody really noticed. I plan to change that this year. This week in fact. Don't get me wrong, I was never that weird girl nobody wanted to talk to. I was just the quiet one. I managed to make one best friend my whole entire life. and I'm not even sure that was even my doing. When I was five years old, I moved into my childhood home. My mom, bless her soul, had just passed away. My Dad needed a change, something new, so before I started school, he packed us all up, bought a house in Ogden Utah, and we started fresh. My Daddy was broken, he was sick for so long after she died. I think.... I think I am going to far.  Let me tell you about Jayne, that is where I was going with all this. We met the very first day I moved in. I found her cat in my back yard, she told me she'd throw rocks at me if I tried to steal her. and We've been insperable ever since. She's the loud gimmie what I want one. She's amazing. And she's moving to Washington, to go off and be a writer. Words just fall out of her head, in amazing ways. and I'm moving to Arizona. So we started this blog to keep in touch. and to share with the world. I think thats enough for today. 

xoxo, Jean

Alright. SO! I'm moving away for college next week. Nervous? Extremely. More nervous because Jean isn't coming? CHECK. /: This is gonna be weird. Whatever though! It'll be fun right? Ehhh. 

So i start being a poor college student full time at University of Washington. Hello Ramen and Mountain Dew, my new best friends. Haha. I'm not even close to deciding my major or anything, though Jean is convinced it should be in English. She says I write real good. :p She's the whole reason we started this, so you know. Because we're moving away after having lived right next to each other for...well since forever. I don't know a soul in Washington. And she doesn't know anyone in Arizona. It'll be good for us to get away. Hopefully the rain doesn't bring me too far down, and hopefully the sun doesn't give her a whole lot of cancer. 

I feel funny, packing up my whole room and stuff. It's weird. I found out I've got a mild case of hoarding. I keep finding all my old school assignments. I think I kept all of them thinking that I'd need them again sometime. Pretty sure I'll never need to write another persuasive essay on why my parents should buy me a cell phone. Goodness gracious I was hilarious.

"You should buy me a cell phone because I could get lost or kidnapped. Isn't that the last thing you want?"

Dramatic much? Haha. I hope I've grown up at least a tiny bit since then. [:

Well I've got lots more packing to do, and an early  drive in the morning. Not that me and Jean will be sleeping at all. Thank goodness for Skype and Facebook eh? AND cell phones?! Looks like I'll be talking to her all night. Again.
