pal party: part 12

JENNA CLARKE

(aka Jennar, Jean Ruth, Baby JenJen)

"SNUGGLE IS THE CURE FOR ALL AILMENTS."

(read more about this special snuggle pie after the jump!)

I remember seeing Jenna around campus when I went to UO. I always thought she was the cutest thing. I totally stalked her facebook and livejournal (through mutual friends) and was totally convinced she was way too cool for me- so one night when I was going to a party with some pals, and heard JENNA was going to be there (or baby JenJen, as Maxie called her), I tried to keep my cool. Omg, would she like me? She's holding a fake gun in her livejournal user pic... I DON'T THINK  I'VE EVER HELD A FAKE GUN IN MY LIFE! How's my outfit... omg do I look like a baby? She is not going to like me if I'm not badass enough... the thoughts went on and on. But she totally liked me you guys, and she still does! We started hanging out more and more and bonded over our love of magic, bike rides, and sass, although she has always outdone me in the sass department. Jenna is the witchiest lady I know. We've cast a few spells together in our days and some of them have worked- a lil too well. She lives in Canada now and I haven't seen her for months but I think about her an awful lot. Sometimes we have facebook fights, but she is a true blue and I love her. She has always been there (when she's lived here... and over the phone when she hasn't) with a smile and a bike ride and a kite if I've been down. She's a good pal to tell a secret to. Just beware her witchy ways! ;)

Tee hee!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE: A KITTEH'S MEOWWWWW OR A PURRRRRRR? WHY?

my favorite is the sound of a cat's purr, because it's not just a sound but a feeling too- something you can only acheive through a good snuggle.

 
TELL US ABOUT YOUR MOST RECENT EXCITING ADVENTURE.

pretty much everytime i get on my bike i have an adventure. i ride to work along this gorgeous trail that goes through a bay, where i always see a seal or an otter or an eagle or a flock of crows (or something else beautiful) then it goes through these lovely woods, where i see bunnies munching on things, then i pass over a bridge suspended over a pond filled with geese and ducks and green things, then i go through a farm area with horses and plump little chickens and wild deer. one time i stopped to pet a horse and it tried to bite me so i threw my apple at it. then it tried to bite me again. and another time, i was riding my bike home from work, and it was pitch dark save for the full moon- and a little bat flew above my head as i rode in a tunnel of trees. i was listening to the knife's album 'silent shout'. things got spooky fast.

 
HAVE YOU CAST ANY SPELLS LATELY? WHAT WERE THEY? DID THEY WORK?

the last spell i cast was a 'make money spell'. dana and i were sharing an art studio at the time and it was first thursday. i threw a bunch of junk into a mason jar (a lucky penny, a totoro trinket, some feathers, some secrets) and chanted some stuff over it. i tried to get dana in on it but he made fun of it. you know what? i sold my first painting that night.

 
YOU ARE CHARGING IN TO WAR. WHAT'S YOUR BATTLE CRY?

SNUGGLE TIME!

 
PLEASE SHARE A FAVORITE INSPIRING QUOTE.

"we dream our lives in grand gestures, but we live our lives in small moments." sometimes i worry that im not doing enough in my life, that im squandering my youth or that i should be climbing mountains or living in a tipi made of rainbows, eating candy and wiping my mouth with million dollar bills... but i think most of us forget how awesome little things are. like working really hard to scoop the last bit of foam out of your hot chocolate and realizing the barista is laughing at you from behind the counter.... or seeing a dog wearing sunglasses. stuff like that.

one day i want to live on my very own farm. i want to have an orchard of cherry blossoms, geese, swans, fainting goats, regular goats, chickens and a big great horse. and obviously like, ten cats.

 

 

I couldn't find the CD I was looking for that had some recent pictures of this sexay bayb, so here are some of my old time faves. Such a pretty princess.

 

And recently, a haircut:

 Oh baby Jennar, I love and miss you so much! I'll try to get a passport real soon... I need snuggles. You are such a friend. Send me maple syrup!
