the swamp horse
the swamp horse. wow. the swamp horse.
there is an art gallery here where i go to school, and earlier in the week they had a showing of a new art piece. a sculpture called the swamp horse. and this thing is the creepiest sculpture i have ever seen in my life. if i was trapped in a pitch dark room, with a spot light that occasionally lit it up, i would run out crying. and screaming. well, so i wouldn't actually be trapped.
i really wish i had a picture of it. i'm hoping i can get miss rabbit to take pictures of us and it together so i can post them. it is so scary! it's body is a horse and its head and tail is some dinosaur mutant alien hybrid. and the monster is six feet tall and ten feet long. it's massive. oh, and it also has sharp white teeth and a slimy looking blue tongue and fully dilated black alien-esque eyes. the swamp horse. wow.

run rabbit. run!
a couple of days ago me and miss rabbit were shmoozing in our room when she realized she was late. she leapt up and grabbed her keys and started out the door when i started shouting run rabbit run! run rabbit run! she got all worked up as she ran out the door and shouted back at me to stop. little did i know, what was occuring outside of the door, in the hall.
fifteen minutes later i got a text from her.
"when you were saying run run those guys that change the trash started running. lol"
everyday at 12:50 the special needs janitorial guys come to change the trash across from our door. well, you get the picture. the poor guys really took my shouting to heart and started taking off! i felt so bad. unfortunately it was really funny too.

eavesdropping
today during prehistory class, at eight flipping o clock in the morning, i was dozing when i happened to eavesdrop on an interesting converstation between two girls behind me.
girl a: so steve came to town over the weekend.
girl b: really? did he know you're staying with andrew?
girl a: yeah. i think that's why he came to visit. he was really disturbed by it. and it was so weird. all the feelings i used to have for him came flooding back.
girl b: really?
girl a: yeah. and then he started telling me how he still loves me and that he can't imagine me not being in his life. and then he hugged me and started crying! and i started crying too!
girl b: oh no!
so it was sort of a sadly romantic conversation. at least the information in it was. and then one of the girls (can't remember if it was a or b) asked me if she could borrow my notes. and i was like, uh no. i wanted to tell her that she should come to class and take her own notes but i'm not that rude. but i still am not going to let anyone copy my notes. they are precious.

french photos no. 1
me and sister c took some fun french pictures a couple of weeks ago. i really liked how the pictures are blurry and really old fashioned looking. here are some of my favorites.
an adventure with miss rabbit
so yesterday, me and miss rabbit got lost. in the great residential hills of a-town. of course, it was i reading the map and i who got us lost in the first place. maps are funny and confusing things.
the plan was to walk downtown, and find a little shop we wanted to visit. unfortunatley we realized in the middle of our journey that i neglected to pen down the actual address of the place and after trekking up an absolute behemoth of a hill, actually more like mountain, we called 411 and found out we were at the opposite end of town.
finally after three hours of walking up, down, and sideways, we found our little shop. the jaunt was a nice diversion from boring late afternoon blah.
we even came across a house with a lawn decorated with six sitting deer. miss rabbit told me they were fake, but after i saw an ear flicker, i boasted "i told you so!"
so today, unsurprisingly, i have killer shin splints. ow.

don't you just love it
don't you just love it when you went to bed early, and are in the midst of a really deep and peaceful sleep?
don't you just love it when at 3:30 in the morning you are awakened by screaming people outside your dorm window?
so friday morning, that is exactly what happened. drunk and obnoxious people carousing below my window. their conversation went something like this:
boy a: (bellowing) damn! i love weed!
boy b: (bellowing back) hey you, are you smoking weed?
boy a: hell yes i am!
girls a and b: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (snorting high pitched laughing)
as the smell of weed drifts through my open window.
just one of the joys of dorm life.

what i don't understand
what i don't understand is why people have to go to college. it seems to me, a waste of four years of my life, a gross waste of my money, and a waste of brain power. chemistry is the devil. even general chemistry. you may think that science isn't that hard, but omfg, i have seen what organic chemistry does to people. it turns them into zombies for real.
so at 11:50 am today, i got out of taking my gen chem midterm and it totally kicked my ass. well, hold on, i think i kicked its fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice ass, but it's word problems kicked my ass. i felt so unfortunate. my professor pinned up the answers on a board afterward, but i was too depressed to look.
on the bright and beautiful side, i escaped from my english class 50 minutes earlier! that is the beauty of being in the library, and acting like i'm doing research for a paper that i have already done. well, done two years ago. yeah, i'm using an old research paper. but, if the shoe fits...

let me introduce myself...
bonjour mon amies,
my name is june jaynes, and i am a nouveau blogger. i am a freshman at a university in a place i christen, a-town. i live in a cave i call my dorm room, with walls pasted with posters, a corkboard, and draped with twinkle lights.
presently i am listening to the song "drive slow" homey, by kanye west. i am alone, the curtains are closed and i am drinking brisk raspberry iced tea. i'm bored, and have a lot of homework to do, but i do not want to do it.
so i decided to start a blog. i have always wanted to, because i love telling stories about myself and writing to make people laugh. it is my goal in life.

the beginning
a conversation between two sisters:
C: i wouldn't mind drawing my brother naked.
L: really? would you pose for your brother?
C: NO!
context- while talking about nude models, drawing class, and wanting someone to pose for her.
