The story behind “jane”

You may have noticed that I go by Jane, especially on the internet. I almost always sign as “Jane”. The other day at co-op during Ultimate Frisbee I was writing my name in the sand with my foot. My good friend, Lizzy, leaned over my shoulder and was trying to read what I was writing. “What? J. A. N. E. Oh, Jane.” She knows that I go by Jane a lot on the computer. But, someone objected my nickname saying “Your name’s not Jane, it’s Kait.” He knows that I go by Jane or Janie on the computer, so he was just being a goof, but I replyed “Nu uh, my name be Jane!”.  I then realized that I had never explained the funny explanation to my semi-new nickname to anyone except for Little Star. I shall do so now for the convinience of all.

About 6 months ago or so(i can’t exactly remember), after a long day learning about police k-9s and how they sniff out drugs and stuff with our co-op, we made a large order of pizza from Pizza Hut, which is a special thing for us. With is came a couple little tubs of marinara. I LOVE marinara on my pizza and breadsticks, so I was very happy. We had a great night. We watched a movie together as a family, and had a lot of fun. The next morning, I slept in till about 8:30 or so(it was a Saturday, ok?) and woke up hungry for leftover pizza. I walked around in a slight daze and grabbed a piece of yummy pizza from the fridge in the garage.  I was disappointed to find no marinara. Still sleepy and tired, I returned to the kitchen to where my parents were talking about some irrelevant subject and proclaimed “Don’t tell me you threw out the marijuana!” My mother just stared at me for a second. Then my parents looked at eachother. Then they bursted out laughing. I didn’t get it at first. Then I realized what I said. “Oops, I meant marinara!!!!”
My mom jokingly called my Mary-Jane after that a little bit, and when I told Little Star she called me Jane every once and a while too. So when I was getting my yahoo email address for junk mail, I thought of that name. And I used it, and now I use Jane for like everything. =)

So now you know that story, I’m sure it’ll get lots of laughs  out of some of you.

Janie & Little Star – Two of a kind

Little Star is probably the closest friend I have ever had, and is definitely the closest friend I have now.

Victoria and I have known eachother for almost 2 years now. When we moved here, it took us a while to find a church. We went to Harmony Ridge, and the first thing I noticed was this gorgeous, tall, long haired girl playing with one of the younger girls at the church. After church, she came up to me and introduced herself. She was the first person I met here in Florida that I am still friends with. But, they were just down here looking for a house, and were only there for another two days. *frown*
But, That Valerie Girl, who’s name I couldn’t remember and knew it wasn’t Valerie but knew her name started with a V, came back to church 3 months or so later. I didn’t know if she remembered me, but now talking with her I know she did. That Valerie Girl’s name turned out to be Victoria. Oh yeah, I knew that.
But anyway, we were instant friends. Kind of like instant oatmeal, except for even faster than that.
Victoria and I stayed just casual friends for a long time…then we became really good friends about 3 or 4 months ago. Now we’re like bestest friends. We’ve had 3 sleepovers in the last month, almost 4.

We are totally awesome. Neither of us have sisters and are surrounded by insane younger brothers, so we have adopted eachother as sisters. Seriously. Little * and Janie. We are the bestest of teams. We are so similar: funny, sarcastic, easy going. We both love the Lord with all of our hearts, enjoy classic movies more than anything, think Coke and Doritos are totally awesome, and so much more.

Dearest sister,
You are awesome. There are so many memories we have together! You are a wonderful, blessed, talented gal! I am SSSOOO glad God has put you in my life. You have been a blessing in my life so much, and I know that we will be friends forever. Thanks for being such a grand sister and friend! Love you so much!
Your sister in Christ and friend always,
Jane

Me and Lady Katie

I have this friend, who’s really sweet. And she thinks she’s the funniest person on the planet.
Katie’s really cool, and sweet. Not during jewelry class. Then it seems she has nothing better to do then make jokes about the way-awesome gal sitting across from her. But just jokes; she really is very nice. =)

(correction for picture – Metal-Mouth Incorporated)(and victoria, forgive me for chopping you out, but this is the only picture that both katie and i are in! Forgive me, dearest friend of mine!)

But, when together, and Katie’s in a good mood, we make the Metal Mouth Maidens.  Ok, for serious: Katy is a great friend. She is funny, and inspiring, and totally awesome. We are good friends. Though we weren’t always friends, we lately have been getting closer…through my point of view. =)

Ms. McCurdy,
I love you as a sister. I thank you for all of the times you forgave my stupidity, helped me through trials, answered tons of questions, texted me for like 2 hours straight, and encouraged me in my journey with Christ.
I pray that God will build you up through your life, and that someday I will be able to repay you for all of the joy and wisdom you have given me. 
Your sister in Christ,
Kait(a.k.a Janie)

Talent Show

So, for the talent show which will be held in May I’m doing something. As y’all can probably guess, I’m playing piano. 4 times. Yes, 4. Once for my brothers to sing “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star”, 2 for a dance recital my friend and her class is doing. And one for me.
I’ve been roaming around, trying desperatly to find a song that is at my playing level, yet quick and skippy. I’ve got a couple in my mind. But I really wanted to play “My Little Buttercup” from “The Three Amigos”. The sheet music apparently doesn’t exist. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.
But then I came across this song which was written my the same person. I’m going to try to do this one.
So, lets see if I can learn this song in time, or if I’ll be stuck playing “Mary Had A Little Lamb”

It’s snowing

Yes, the head bullitan is true; it is snowing right here in Florida. And has been snowing for about a half an hour. Yeah, I’m very proud of Florida for breaking it’s agreement to keep me warm, and throwing ice all over my head. It’s been 40 years since it last snowed in Florida. In the 2 years I’m gonna live here, it snows.
Yeah, it’s great.

WARNING: LOT’S OF GLOBAL WARMING IN PENSICOLA AREA

Friday	Saturday	Sunday
49° F | 27° F	49° F | 32° F	43° F | 31° F
Partly Cloudy	Mostly Cloudy	Ice Pellets 80% chance of precipitation

	Thursday Night Cloudy. Chance of rain in the evening…then light sleet…rain and snow likely after midnight. Light accumulations of sleet and snow possible late. Lows in the mid 30s. North winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
	Friday Snow and light sleet. Light accumulations of sleet and snow possible in the morning. Highs in the mid 40s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph becoming 5 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.
	Friday Night Cloudy. Slight chance of snow in the evening. Little to no additional accumulation expected.  Lows 29 to 34. Chance of snow 20 percent.

This is just not right. Snow…Florida…they just don’t mix.  Though, I must say, if it’s going to be cold, there’d better be snow. I’m just getting what I wanted…or am I? Snow means that everything is going to shut down, so we won’t ba able to go get anything we need. Sleet means that outside is off limits due to the death sicles falling out of the sky. 31 degrees means lots of hot chocolate and friends coming to steal it. And cookies. We can’t forget the cookies. Cookies rock, for goodness sake!
So…we’ll see what happens. Maybe we’ll just get a bunch of cold and wet rain…but maybe we’ll get some of that oh so wonderful white stuff.

By the way; is it just me, or does the phrase “Ice Pellets” make you think of the sky pooping?

Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate. U.F. Whatever you wanna call it. It’s fun. And dangerous. Especially when a frisbee is thrown at 70 miles per hour and you block it with your mouth. Yes, it is not a myth; that does actually hurt. Trust me, I know.
It also is painful when a towering giant falls on top of you, barely missing destroying your stomach with it’s knee on it’s way down. Or when you get stuck linked to someones arm and are dragged around…You get the picture.
It’s fun, though, to stand be allowed to get in someones way without being yelled at. Scratch that. Being allowed to get in someone’s way. Period. Sometimes you still get yelled at. =)
We have been playing ultimate for about 3 months now. It’s been a lot of fun, and we have gotten a lot better since we began! Here is a video I made…enjoy and tell me what you think!

Note: Pro player is having technical difficulties, but I now know, thanks to my great friend; That Valerie Girl, that if you full screen it, it does fine.
