The Academy Is...

New music obsession! The Academy Is... I've listened to them before, but I recently bought their latest CD and it's amazing. I'll remain loyal to This Providence, but I can't stop listening to The Academy Is... right now.

With Your Music Update,

Sunburnt

I'm extraordinarily sun burnt from my 8 hours time outside yesterday. I spent 5 of it reading on my deck in direct sunlight, 2 walking my dog on 2 separate occasions, and 1 hanging out at a friends house.

Been up to nothing other than homework, scrambling to get caught up. In my dull life, of course I had time to blog. But blogging feels pointless with nothing to write about...

With nothing further to say,
~Jadyn

Yeah!

I'm almost 100% better! Took long enough.. I had four sick days. So, that being said, I haven't done anything exciting or worthy of blogging about. I don't have any spectacular and argumentative insights on life, hope or anything else. I'm just me, and I just wanted to let you know I'm here.

Third Sick Day

Staying at home, watching movies with Joe Anderson and Jim Sturgess, listening to good music like This Providence and Between the Trees, and other dull things. Sigh. I hate being sick.

Lots of Love to All You Healthy People,
Jadyn

Sick

Ugh... I'm home sick. What a lovely day.

So, watching Across the Universe and laying on the couch. Great day. Soon, I'll go outside and read or something. I hate being sick.

Bored senseless,
Jadyn

Just Like the Crow Chasing the Butterfly

So, as stated in an earlier blog, I'm super into Shinedown right now. That's all my blog title is referring to.

I kind of had a bad day today. Woke up, argued with Mother and sister and just had a crap day. Until after school when I was talking to Jake and Tiff and Cassi... fun times.

The detail of my day is rather dull, but I wanted to post!

Happy

I had a really great day. I don't know why, but I just seemed to take everything well and with a smile and laugh.

I went to my lil' sister's vocal concert earlier this evening. It was pretty entertaining. Her band concert was last night, and that was a little slow, but oh well. I'm there to give my moral support, so what else can you do?

I've been enthusiastic and a fairly happy person this week. But it seems some people are taking a step away from me. And I'm not going to lie, it hurts. But then so many people are learning who I really am. I am confident, and lively. And I guess people are just starting to learn that. I accept myself for me and that shows. I think it really shows.

Last year, I was weak. Self-conscious and just very little. Now, I'm so strong. So independent. I can't say I regret any of the hurt. It made me who I am today. And that's important. I still have much to learn about myself and the world, but I've made a major step.

Life is exciting, and painful, and happy, and depressing, and naive, and wise. Life is something nobody should have to give up until they've lived it to the fullest. I feel as if I gain everyday I'm alive. (At least when I'm in optimistic moods like today) And it's important. I think the moment you accept yourself, everybody around can make their choice.

But I'm also guarded. There is so much people don't know about me and never will.

I'm done rambling and contemplating life for tonight,

Hope, Dreams and This Providence

The title is referring to all of this month's blog titles. I just realized how wonderful they sound together.

I've been listening to some really sad music, and I can't figure out if that's a cause or an effect of my increasingly sad mood. I don't know, I just hurt. I've been listening to Shinedown a lot, and I always listen to This Providence. But a lot of Shinedown. Their CD is really sad.

I just feel forgotten, cast aside. A lot of people have been less enthusiastic toward me, which results in me taking a step back. No body's been cruel or unkind, just indifferent. And in a way, it kind of stings. And it could be that I'm overly-perceptive. And maybe I've been spacey.

As I ponder life,
yours truly,
~Jadyn

Hope

I'm terribly sorry my writing style isn't fully developed yet. I'm trying to write less dry, and more intriguing, and I kind of use this as my practice space.

Saturday, I did mow the lawn, and I did go shopping. I found nothing suitable for my mother, and didn't spend a dime on anything. So today, I cleaned the entire house before Mom and Dad got home, and I thought that would be an acceptable gift. She was pleased, and I know she didn't want a gift because that's how she is.

I have the Shinedown CD, 'The Sound of Madness', and it's very good. Nothing beats This Providence, and never will. I really enjoy their music, and they seem to strike a personal level with every word, every beat. They are truly a spectacular band. I have digital formatting of all their CDs, which I bought off iTunes, but I'm going to buy the physical versions as soon as I can find where they'd sell them. If you know of any places that sell This Providence, let me know.

Dreams

So, I had a rather disturbing dream the other night. It was about a ghost child and her troubled mom. Very disturbing, but I won't go into detail.

I've been semi-busy lately. By that I mean, not a lot of chilling and being with friends, but a lot of babysitting. Staying up all hours of the night with kids, etc. It's fun, just exhausting. And I have a hard time sleeping in so I don't always get my deserved sleep.

Mom and Dad are going to a wedding out of town today. Rachel, my older sister, is going to come and stay with us. To avoid any confusion, Rachel is truly my half-sister, but not in heart. Rachel is a college student and works at Target.

Enough about family, tomorrow is Mother's Day. Today I hope to go shopping with Knoel and maybe a group of people, and maybe not. I don't really know what today has in store for me. I hope it's more than just mowing the lawn.

It's funny, Nate, a kid in my Algebra class kind of figured out where I live- which is a long and FUNNY story- and he wants to mow my lawn, obviously to get paid. I kind of want him to too, but I know my Daddy would never go for that. But he might mow the lawn in July when we go on vacation.

I don't think I ever followed up on the trip to Adventureland two weeks ago. Basically, it was rainy and miserable. I hung out with mainly Tyler B., not to be confused with my best friend of five years, Tyler C. It was a fun day, just cold.

With very little left to say,
Yours Truly,
~Jadyn

I haven't written anything in a while. I'm fairly sure nobody noticed because I'm positive nobody reads my ramblings, but anyways...

This Providence is my favorite band ever. I know I've mentioned them before, and the concert I attended was about a month ago, but I still think they deserve some limelight, even if it's from one of they're crazier fans :P. I thought I'd share some pics from the concert, because I really can't see enough of the pictures.

This is an insane number of pictures, that I am aware of, but I was to indecisive to pick less than eight favorites.

Thanks for reading, again :)
