Jaimee's Electronic Diaries

such potential

2011-04-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

I just found this old binder filled with projects from my Minority Literature class. It involved a lot of writing.

Here are a couple of entries in my daily journal (circa '05)

"I, honestly, don't know much about Native Americans. I know that they like to have dance parties and they smoke. I also know that they have crazy animal/verb names(Dances With Wolves). I also know that they were here before us and we stole the land. I know they like corn..."

That was, clearly, before I started reading a novel about Native Americans. Here is an entry after beginning the book.

"I like the book more than I thought I would. Honestly, I thought that Native American literature would be about nature and the moon and things like that. I did not know that lacrosse was so important to their culture. Anyway, I like the book. It's pretty enjoyable. I like that Jake is 12. It's pretty cool."

here's an excerpt from an entry about sports.

"When I was very little, I played tee-ball. I was VERY good at it. But, when I moved on to real baseball, I was not so good. So, I just quit. My sport, now, is dance. I've been doing it for like 6 years. You might be thinking that dance is not a sport... but, believe me... you get pretty sweaty."

I had such potential.

It's been...

2008-09-12T07:40:00.000-07:00

over four months since I've updated.

Sorry, you all!

Many birthdays have happened, many good times... I had the chance to be a leader at youth camp! That was a fantastic time! I don't use the word "fantastic" lightly, either.

We have a dog, now. So, that's okay.

She's a bit stinky... and old... but, she's a good dog.

Live at Studio UO started this past Wednesday. I got to perform, again... in a different band, though. I think it went well.

Today is my brother's birthday!

All right, I have no more to say... except that I will be posting more, now.

ookay, bye.

oh oh oh no oh ho oh

2008-05-10T22:20:00.000-07:00

Not trying to brag... but..

we met Jemaine and Bret!

check out my myspace or facebook to see a couple of the pictures.

or, ask me about my camera phone.

2008-05-10T10:22:00.000-07:00

Glove Save was pretty awesome last night!
350 kids came. I had a great time!

Going to see Flight of the Conchords tonight. Can NOT wait.

Oh, no.

2008-04-03T19:44:00.000-07:00

What's up, WORLD!

Hi.
Sorry I haven't updated like I said I would. I'm horrible.

There's really not too much to brag about lately.

I sing in BIG CHURCH for the first time on this coming Wednesday. I'm shaking with ANTICIPATION. But, really, I'm excited. It makes me a little bit nervous. That's why you're probably feeling weird about what you're reading right now.

But, it is exciting. I'm happy that I get to do it.

I have been driving a lot, lately.

I type at 365 WPM.

It's amazing.
So amazing.

Anyone have some place that I can work?

Can I live in someone's basement?

Goodbye,
Jaimee.

whooooa I Trust You to Kill Me.

2008-02-20T13:51:00.000-08:00

Hey.

I just want to say how much I appreciate everything that's happening in my life right now.

I'm sitting here at Mandy's and she has fallen asleep on the couch, so I snuck off into the computer room.

I got a few emails just now that really made me happy and I really like life.

I just feel like I am where I should be and it's happy.

Okay..

Oh yeah, look out for me. I'll be on the worship team starting in April!!

Whoa yeah.

Goodbye.

2008-02-09T21:06:00.000-08:00

I just want to say that I'm proud of the work we've done on the stage.

THE End.

P.S.

2008-02-05T12:58:00.000-08:00

I've started a new blog on blogger.

Find it, and you win the prize of reading it.

I'm impressed, I'm impressed.

2008-02-05T12:38:00.000-08:00

Hey.

I saw three movies this weekend.

27 dresses, Juno, and Strange Wilderness.

I guess I thought I had more to blog about, but I don't really.

I am going to Yoga again tonight. That will be fun. I might fart in Christie's face.

I'm feeling strange today. Sick, mostly. Hot-faced.

It's 4PM and I still need to shower!

How pathetic.

Good night!

2008-01-29T14:11:00.000-08:00

Hello.

Today is Tuesday.
I am about to go to my first yoga class in an 8-week... series of yoga classes.
It should be fun.

I've been given some good advice.

"Try not to have stinky feet."

Accomplished.

Valentine's is coming up soon and it's looking like I won't have a date... or anyone to give a valentine to for any reason.
But, I just found my favorite valentine ever on the web just now and decided to give it to everyone that I love(everyone that reads this blog).

Bye.

This is not a joke... so, please stop smiling.

2008-01-23T20:47:00.000-08:00

I used to have this boyfriend that I was dating and one time, he came over to my sister's house and made me a grilled peanut butter sandwich. That may have been the only thing I don't regret about that relationship because I have carried that along with me ever since and I plan to carry it with my for the rest of my life.

I shared this story with Lisa tonight on our drive.
It made me ask this question:

Why is peanut butter the butter that made it big?

Apple and pumpkin butters are just as delicious, if not more so.

So, I've done some research.

Apple Butter-
The things I found out about this butter are absolutely SHOCKING.
Apple butter rots after just 7 days... it ferments, actually... and the consumer gets... well, just use your imagination.

Apple butter makers also add ANTS for flavor!

ew. count me OUT.

I couldn't find any information on pumpkin butter.
It must be a dying industry.

No we didn't have much money.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I got some pretty sweet gifts this year... including a video Ipod.
Did I like it?

Well, my family left at about 1 today and right afterwards, I came into the computer room to find stuff to put on it...
It is now 8:02 PM!

I'D say!

anyway...
I was just looking at people who I went to High School with on Myspace and realized that pretty much half of them are pregnant or married.

I'm thinking that getting out of there prematurely saved my life.
What would have happened if I would have stayed that last year?

Would I have a little baby boy?

Wow, I feel good about myself now.

I'm going to go TRY and tame this frizz ball they call a head of hair.

WISH ME LUCK!

bye.

SNOW

2007-12-17T10:53:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was very snowy.

It's still snowy out, but I really experienced the snow yesterday.

I slept in and went out to lunch at Friday's with some of my favorite people... and then went and hung out with Christa with Lisa... and then went to the Christmas play.

After all that, we went sledding.
I met some new people... and it was very cold, but fun.

We went to Hines park and there were a lot of kids there... drunk.
So, we found a different hill that almost killed me.

My back is very, very sore.

It was Carson's first time sledding because he's from TX.
So, that was exciting.

Afterwards, we went to Zack's and Lisa and I shared some stuff.

Some drunk guys walked in and sat next to us. They thought they recognized one of the guys we were with, which was kind of funny... and they wanted to move their "Desk/table" together with ours.

So, we left.

I'm not sure why everyone in the world was so drunk last night.

Bye!

2007-12-14T22:25:00.001-08:00

P.S.

That company never really called me.
I thought I should get that off my chest.

all the news reports recommended that i stay indoors.

2007-12-14T22:20:00.000-08:00

What's up, world?

Sorry I haven't blogged as much as I said I would. Nothing really blog-worthy has been happening to me.

I've started working with Mom again. MINIMUM WAGE!

But, I bought some Christmas gifts today, so that was good.

Tomorrow is Saturday.
I am going to the Secretary of State office to take my driving test...
isn't that exciting?

I feel myself finally, slowly plunging into adulthood.

To be continued...

2007-12-06T18:44:00.000-08:00

Hey. Sorry I haven't blogged lately.

I've just been so busy.

On Monday, I cleaned the kitchen floor. I mean hardcore cleaned it.

It was pretty exciting.

I saw some people that I hadn't seen in a while last night at church. We went to Applebee's afterward.

Hmm...
Oh, yeah.
I got a call from the company that makes the dollar movie rental machines. His name was Toby and he asked for me...
Apparently, the people at Kroger watched the surveillance tapes and thought that I purposely broke that machine and they called the company so that They wouldn't be in trouble.

So, they either want me to go back to Tennessee to apologize or pay them $20.00.

I think I am not going to do either of those things...
Maybe they will just forget about it.

Now, I have to go.
Run's House is on.

Good night.

PC

2007-12-02T20:39:00.000-08:00

Hey.

I am now home in Michigan!

Lisa and I drove from Tennessee at 2:30 and we just got home at 10:30.
I had a pretty good time down there.

That's all that's going on.

2007-11-28T20:34:00.000-08:00

Hey!

It's the end of Wednesday.

Jay Leno is on the TV... I am turning that OFF. I really don't like Jay Leno.
Why are they showing a show from 2000?

Wow, fashion has changed since then. Chins were so much BIGGER back then.
hahahaha- Oh, dang!

Anyway... we ate Shake-n-bake for dinner tonight.
It was nice.

I'm going to sleep now!

My first Tuesday blog

2007-11-27T20:15:00.000-08:00

Hey.

Today was Tuesday already?
Can you believe it?!

I woke up today at 9:30 and sat around.
Then, these guys got here to take the tree off of the house. It was cool.

Julie looked out the window later and said ,"The home improvement guys are here now, too!"... and I said ,"Who's that? Tim Allen?"

No one heard that joke, but I was pretty proud of it.

I took a shower and I played Paper Mario for a while. I've almost got it beat.

Watched some Biggest Loser...
and that was my day.

See you tomorrow!

Ta Da.

2007-11-26T17:38:00.001-08:00

All right, I've already got a story to blog about.

Julie, Calla, and I went to Kroger to buy some soda and return a couple of movies to the Dollar movie rental machine.

We entered and I had an extreme urge to return the movies myself.
So, Julie let me and I was very excited.

I followed all the directions on the screen and inserted both movies. The computer told me to insert only one DVD at a time and then press enter.
I thought that this meant to insert one... and then insert the other... and press enter.

So, that is what I did.

This horrible noise came from the machine...
Over and over again, this machine screeched at me... or something. I can't really describe the noise. It was very disturbing.

He told me, "I cannot read these discs. Please try aga..." and he was cut off.

The other computer inside the machine said "Sorry, I am offline. Contact customer service."

I completely broke that machine.

So, we ran and ran and did NOT get caught.

I have come to the conclusion that I must move back to Michigan next week in order to avoid being arrested.

Good night.

I am trying to not be so mysterious.

2007-11-26T13:44:00.000-08:00

Hey!

I know that there are a lot of people that think I am just too private with my personal life.
So, I'm starting this blog today and will update at the end of every day for the rest of my life.
