Ask Jenny - Dating Confused

Dear Jenny,
I danced with a guy friend at the last formal. At the most recent dance, I went with someone else. Now, my guy friend thinks I'm cheating on him, but we were never together!

Wow...well, it's obvious that this guy likes you, since he so desperately wants to be together. However, don't bend yourself over backwards just to be what he likes; if you don't want to be with him like THAT, then tell him...but don't make it too blunt. Just be like..."I love you as a friend." It'd hurt, but it's better than you trying to avoid him because he thinks you guys are together.

Also, this guy is jumping to conclusions reaally fast...I'm guessing he's new to the dating thing? But he HAS to know that 1 dance does not equal a couple...I mean, unless you both want it to. Which obviously isn't the case. So maybe tell him like, after school, or somewhere, that you're sorry he's really confused and all, but you guys are still the bestest of friends. :) At least he'll be close to you still, and the whole friendship thing isn't ruined.

~JENNY!

Internet Chatting

Hola amigos! :D Just before I start my topic, I just wanted to say, THIS IS MY 102ND POST! :D This blog has passed the 100 posts mark! So thanks guys, for supporting me all this way; I couldn't have gotten this far without you...ok, maybe I could've, but it would've been really boring. :P So thanks.

Ok. So about 2 weeks ago I realized that on the internet, chatting is like, super opposite. Like, the people that always ignore you in real life are really SUPER EASY to talk to like, on Gmail, or Facebook, or whatever, and you seem to be super cool life long buddies! Yaay..

But the people who are your actual really close friends in real life are really hard to talk to on the internet. For me, they're always preoccupied, or we just have nothing to talk about. Same with emails.

And long lost friends! Like, people that I were really close with in elementary, and then I moved, I don't even talk to anymore. Other than like.....a few messages on Facebook to wish them happy holidays, or whatever, and then sometimes we can keep emails going for a month. But then we just give up or something and start ignoring each other. :( It's sad but I can't do anything about it.

I just think that's really ironic...The people who don't have the nerve or think that they're just too good for you and don't talk or even look at you during the day (or just don't notice you) are your new best friends on the internet...I think it has something to do with looking at my face. D:

And then your super super close friends know that you love them no matter what, so they don't have to talk to you all the time, lol.

Then those long lost friends....well, we can't keep conversations going anymore. It just gets really awkward, since our lives are so different, and we think totally different now.

But there's STILL those people that you aren't SUPER close with, but you're still friends, and you can talk to them anytime. :) That's cool. It's like...a mutual relationship.

So: moral/theme of this whole post - real friends are never going to be made on the internet. You guys have to love each other on and off screen, and the most important times you'll spend together are offline. Not like..."OMG! Yay, blackdemon_22454, you're my new best friend! We defeated an ogre together! :D". NO NERDS, NO NO NO. YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE AND REALIZE THAT 1. OGRES DON'T EXIST IN NORMAL LIFE, AND 2. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THOSE NAMES IN REAL LIFE, EITHER.

In the end, no matter how cool and..new these technological things are, they'll never beat those eternal things like friendship, love, etc. (That's why these online dating things aren't the best, either.)

Happy Thanksgiving Guys!!

Hi, guys! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I just wanted to share my thoughts on this NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Anyways...lol I had like, a sudden epiphany yesterday. Shouldn't this holiday be "Givingthanks", not "Thanksgiving"? Because Thanksgiving makes it sound like "thanks for giving"...which equals to "thanks for the spirit of giving", which is pretty much the same as "thanks for Christmas."

So...Thanksgiving is pretty much just a holiday looking forward to Christmas? LOL. you have to admit, it kinda makes some sense.

Blah, who cares. Anyways, I'm thankful for SO MANY THINGS! I love this holiday because...I actually get to realize what helps me survive.

I'm thankful for...

• GOD. :) Thanks for giving me something to believe in, and helping me through my life, letting me meet all these wonderful people, and giving me faith and love.
• my family :) I wouldn't even be here without them.


• my friends! all of you guys! I love your different personalities, your spazziness, seriousness, etc. ;) Thanks for all the help and favors you have done for me, all the advice given, all the tears shed, and the sweat dropped..ok ew this isn't working. lol. :) In short, thanks for making my life worth living.


• dance. It's a way to make me express myself and excercise. :) And I get to listen to music, too! :D


• sports. A way to loose weight and have fun with friends!


• music. I would be a totally different person without me singing all over.


• ...FOOD. HOW COULD I FORGET YOU?! YOU'RE SO YUMMYYY.
  
• that Korean guy! I actually have a hobby now, and a celebrity crush! :D You've opened my eyes to hot azn guys! LOL. I sound so stupid.
• tv, computer, and all the other electronic stuff. How would I ever live without them?
• My favorite color-blue! It just makes me happy looking at it.
• THE MALL! getting new clothes makes me happy, too!
• When I do good on a test! And that one teacher that just GETS me, and is super funny and makes fun of other people. ;)
• Your faces, and the cute smiles. :) (as in my friends, not you scary stalker people reading this.) They can be kinda mean, but when they smile, I feel better, and they look SO MUCH BETTER when they smile. (mostly guys...'cause i'm straight.) If you try to look cool and not smile and be all "hey baby, what's up?" glare.....it's ugly. sorry...but your definition of "hot" and us girls' definitions of hot is different.

Lols! :) Yup. Well..i hope you guys have a very Happy Thanksgiving! :D
