| The house was quiet. Too quiet. Knowing that there were things roaming around the house, ready to pounce made my heart pound. The thump of my heartbeat became louder and louder until it was so loud I thought that they would be able to hear my fearful heart burst out of my chest. My heart sounded like a bass drum, being hit as hard as it could. I saw something out of the corner of my eye, some movement I thought. I jerked my head to where I thought I saw movement. Nothing except a shadow covering a corner of the room I was in. I wasn't sure if I had seen something or if it was just my hyperactive imagination at play. But they do hide in the shadows, waiting to pounce on their fearful prey. They might have seen my eye looking near the shadow where they were supposedly standing and had moved so I would look at the shadow. But why? Was it because they wanted me to look so. they. could… It was standing behind me. My breaths were more unstable now, I was almost wheezing in fright, and my heart, instead of slowly thumping, my heart was thumping rapidly, nearly bursting out of my chest. I could see what it looked like without turning around: sharp teeth made out of a bear trap, a large void-like head with bright, white, empty eyes, the head was the only reason it was taller than me and it was also its most prominent feature. The body… I wasn't sure about the body since the head nearly covered it. While I was imagining what it looked like, I saw fingers reaching around, ready to grab me. The fingers were wiggling as if the thing was taunting me. I wanted to run but couldn't. I was stuck in place. I should've run when I had the chance. |
| Here are some Wise Words from Jandi: Celebrities are just people that are sparklier than normal people, thanks to media and news. There should be a rule for when you enter stores to not only silence your phone but your kids as well, so other shoppers can have a pleasant experience shopping. This has been Wise Words with Jandi. |
| The sweet taste of victory: When you sneak up to the bathroom where your mom is going and as she comes out, you say, "Boo." and she responds, "AHHH!" (She usually doesn't react like that. She reacts with a fake "Ahh!") Vict'ry. |
| Well, I had it nicer when I was little. I didn't have any older brothers to scare me to the point of wetting myself, but there was the Baby Einstein caterpillar that creeped me out when it inched onto the screen. I'd hide my face in my pillow because when I was little, I lived by the rule "If I can't see it, it can't see me." until my cousin came over. Since I was the alpha cousin, I told myself, "Alright, I'm not going to act like a sissy and stare at that caterpillar dead in the face." And I did, and I've been fine ever since. And like a normal little kid, I was scared of the MGM lion when it would come on before old movies and roar, but that doesn't make for a hilarious fear story, since lots of kids are scared of lions. |
| Don't worry. I gave her candy and let her take one of my plushy's so we were even. Haven't done it since. I was either terrified of the dark or in love with it as a kid. I would flip flop back and forward constantly. I also had (may or may not still have) a stupid fear of spiders |
| I was scared of the dark when I was a kid too. I still keep my closet light on at night, though frankly, I can sleep without it. I have done trials to test myself to see if I could sleep in the dark without any lights on and I passed. Same with my teddy bear Theodore Judah. (His name has a huge story behind, but I won't bore you with details here.) I still sleep with him, but I can also sleep without him if need be. I just sleep with him for comfort and for the fact that he's so snuggly. |
Breaking News in Jade's life! Jade Amber Jewel is now Shere Khan in The Jungle Book! We take you now to Jade Amber herself, who will give you more information on how she feels. Thank you, unnamed newsperson. *ahem* AHHHHHHH OH MY GOD YEAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! WOO! I'M SO HAPPY! This will be one of my favorite roles that I have ever done, I just know it! Okay, so if you've been living under a rock and don't know what I'm talking about, I auditioned for Shere Khan in The Jungle Book and as you can clearly read, got the part! I auditioned for this role last year but got the part of Mother Wolf. That was one hectic year and I've talked about it in my jlog, so I will not ramble about it here. But basically, I auditioned, got a different role and at the end of the week, the director told my mom that he had wished that he had given me the role of the villain or even the lead, even though both are male roles. So thanks to the director and "stage manager"?? and their coaching, I now am the villain, a type role that I have wanted for a while. This girl is soaring right now. Not literally, but figuratively. |
| It might have been a bad idea for my parents to have shown me "The Lion King" last night, because all day today while working, I have been mostly listening to that song non-stop! What song? Be Prepaaaaaaaaared! Two main reasons as to why: I auditioned for the role of Shere Khan in The Jungle Book and the auditioners were impressed, so my guess is I will get the part. And two, that song is so dang catchy! Who knew a song focused on killing the king and prince would be so catchy! P.S. If I can, I'll try to post a video of me performing Shere Khan, if I get the part and if I can share the video online. I've had excitement butterfly's in my stomach most of the day because of the huge possibility of me getting the role. P.P.S. If you haven't heard the song, look it up. I'm telling you, it is catch-y! Yes, our teeth and ambition are bared! Be prepaaaaaaaaared! |
| So I was playing Trivia Crack on my "new" phone, (It's a used phone, but I haven't had my own phone until now so…) and I had the History category and the question was, "What is the name for a half human and half god in Greek mythology?" I knew the answer was "Demigod", so I got it right. But why I'm telling you this is that one of the answer choices was "Blessed". |
| Wait… What is this? I check the newsfeed, and I see that sybarrios has posted a congratulations to Whata MamasGirl But then I checked the date and remembered! I remembered, but that was earlier in the year when I wanted it to happen right then and there, but now it has snuck upon me! Hooray! Loves and celebration for me and Whata! Party! |
| Happy Anniversary, Whata MamasGirl |
| I'm at that point when I can wear my mom's everything, and by everything, I mean clothes, shoes, bras and other items you don't need to know. Fun fact for my small group of fans. |
| It's nothing to worry about unless you keep growing and your father's gear starts to fit. My wife and daughter share so many clothes I don't think they remember who's is who's. Except for underwear, the daughter's is far too sexy for the wife. But then the wife worries about her skirt flying up in church. and my daughter at 28 still thinks she's a teenager. |
| I'm not worried. This has been going on for a while now. I just mentioned it today because I borrowed some of my mom's jeans because I didn't have any pants. I mean, I did have shorts, but my parents don't approve of me wearing them in public because they're so short; plus, it's cold outside! What would I be thinking, wearing shorts in the dead of fall! (You can tell I wasn't born or raised in the North. |
| So I'm listening to my music, and at the end of one of the songs it's transitioning to another song, and I'm ready to hear when an ad starts to play. I had to hold the urge of cussing in front of my dad. Oh how I wish I was able to be home alone this morning so I could've. Curse you Spotify! |
