Jenessa Is No Longer MIA

I really like making these titles. They are so much fun! Anyways, Merry Late Christmas to all. And I know I shouldn't brag, but I really wanted to write about what I got, and if Jamie got away with it, then so shall I. The main things I was really excited to get were an accoustic guitar (YAY!), that book by Dieter F. Uchtdorf "Your Happily Ever," and every-occasion LDS songbook for piano, Harry Potter 7 Part Two (the movie), and lots and lots of chocolate!
I have a quick story to tell that I told my mom, and she said I just had to put it on the blog because it was so funny. It happened about a week and a day ago. So in language arts, we had to do these book reports called "Book Talks" and in them, we had to bring four visual props to help tell the story. My friend Ally brought "Mockingjay," the third installment of the "Hunger Games" trilogy. To portray Peeta, a character, she brought this barbie type of doll...but of Justin Bieber (she said her cousin gave it to her as a joke, but I know better...she loves him). So after her book talk, I asked if I could just play with him in my next class. After wheedling her into saying yes (In which I had to take a vow promising I wouldn't abuse him or let anyone else touch him), I brought him along to my next class: seminary. (I should have known right then to not show his girly face-which was lightly covered in makeup) Anyways, I start playing with him and bending his joints in impossible positions, when my friend Joe says, "What the heck? Why do you have a Justin Bieber doll?" (Joe sits behind me in seminary; keep note of that.) Joe gestures to the doll, and says to let him hold the doll. I say yes after vowing to hurt him in auto shop or chemistry (we share those classes as well) if he did anything to the doll. Joe gives the doll back a minute later, perfectly fine...until I realize he took the shoes off. I whispered, "Joe, give me the shoes back, now! I need them. I took a vow!" But he refused. So I saw his iTouch laying on his desk, where we were playing a word game before the bell rang. I grabbed the Touch and said, "Fine, I'll take this and you take the shoes." I started to play the Touch, but look down and realize I accidentally froze his iPod. Shoot! So I just hide it and pretend to keep playing with it. Realizing I had tuned out Brother Ford, I listened in time to hear Joe say, "Yeah, Jenessa has a voodoo doll of Justin Bieber." (What the heck is going on?!) Everyone turns to look, and I'm holding the doll, kind of confused and starting to blush. After everyone stops laughing (I was too, because it was quite hilarious), Brother Ford asks me to read some quotes on voodooism, and how it's bad, since I had a "Justin Bieber voodoo" doll. (Luckily, the voodoo part was in the lesson for that day, but still...) After reading the quote, Joe starts tugging on my jacket hood and asks for his Touch back. I said not until he gave me back the shoes, to which he replied, "I don't have them." Obviously, he did. But I humored him and turned to two of my other friends, Maddi and Sara, sitting on either side of Joe. Both said they didn't have them, and Sara laughed. Finally, since Joe wouldn't stop tugging on my jacket hood, and we were starting to draw attention AGAIN, I gave him back his touch and said, "Ha ha, I froze it. Now you can't play it." He stared at me, then said, "You can't freeze them. It's impossible." I said, "Nuh-uh. I know how to freeze them. I did it on purpose. So haha on you." (which was of course a lie, since I froze it on accident, but really? I had to get one point at least. And it sounded cooler than, "I stole your touch, but froze it and didn't even get to play it.) He told me he knew how to unfreeze it, and kind of shrugged off my taunts. I finally asked again for the shoes, and again, he said he didn't have them, all the while hinting towards my feet. I located them on the floor by the side of my desk, picked them up, and put them back on, giving Joe a withering look (Or so I like to think it was withering). I safely delivered Justin Bieber back to Ally, and she never found out what happened. ;)
That's really all that's going on with me. I'm kind of bored because I have nothing to do, but one of these days my friend Emily should be giving me a call. (Might I add that I absolutely appreciate Trey's friends? They just take him away every day to hang out. Thank you James and Dakota! Freedom rings at home!....Okay, just kidding, but it is nice to have him out of the house.)
So my dog, Stitch, got bones and a squeaky toy from Santa. He gets a toy every year, and by the time we are done opening presents, he has pulled apart the toy and bit up the squeaker. This year, we can't let him keep it, and we have to hide it, but he always knows where it is. He keeps barking because he just loves this toy so much. (Honestly, I don't know why, but he completely adores this toy. All he wants to do is fetch it and chew it a little before fetching it again.)
Guess what? New years is in five days. Got those new resolutions?
