Today is 7/7/07. It's supposed to be (according to numerology) the luckiest day of the century. Well, that might be true but it doesnt' feel that way to be. Not on a large scale at least. I'm pooped from my exercising earlier. I went for a long 1.5 mile walk around my neighborhood in the hot sun. Luckily I had my handy bottled water and tunes to keep me company. :) On my next walk, which is tomorrow, I'm thinking of stopping at the local gas station to grab a soda. I havent had one in awhile and I'm itching for it. After my long walk I just stripped to my bathing suit and jumped into my pool. AH, it was a great end to a long hot walk! Of course, I'm all dried off and showered off by now and starting to feel the tiredness that comes from lots of activity. :)
I've been enjoying my new pool so much. I thank god its holding up wonderfully.
So that leads me to my blog title: 'Chlorine'. I've had the smell of chlorine ingrained into my sinuses and my skin from the last week of swimming. But I LOVE the smell. I don't know why! I always have. Ever since I was a little girl! That's why I liked swimming so much and pools. Yes, I am weird but I love it. SO, having this constant smell of chlorine has made me feel more rejuvenauted. Its making me feel like I want to get out and swim and exercise more. I think the reason I love the smell of chlorine so much is because it is the one thing that describes "SUMMER" for me! I could not think of a better smell to describe the lazy days of summer. Just like I consider the smell of freshly cut grass and plants the perfect smell for spring. Anyway......
I just felt like blogging about my new revelations about summer and just the small things in life. I enjoyed being out in the sun and walking in the neighborhood. I really got to watch people in their own homes. No, I'm not a voyager or sadistic, I just genuinely love people. I think the behavior and actions of humans are in some ways, so much more interesting to watch than animals. Their are so many unbelievable variables when it comes to determing how a person behaves or live their lives! On my walk I saw so many people splashing around in their pools (of course, it was hot today!) and I got to see the fun of childhood. I also saw a huge tent pitched in someone's backyard with balloons all over it as well as tied to the mailbox of the house, so I assume it was for a party. I saw the family (a man and woman) sitting in their lawnchairs waiting for company to arrive and I watched as a white truck pulled into their driveway and saw a little kid juimp out and run towards the waiting hosts of the home., only to be picked up and hugged. We all live such isolated lives in an ever increasingly huge populated world. But i think that's the problem. We are so wrapped up in our own lives we don't take the same to look (really look) and see all the other humans and people who share the same world with us. Planet Earth.
With all of the stuff I had fun witnessing and experiencing on my walk (the pleasant sun, the music I was listening to, the joy of working out, watching people have fun, watching LIFE) it's only fair to say I will be taking much more walks from now on. I love it. :)
In other unrelated news, I also have a new job interview on tues for a great position at Sally's Beauty Supply at the mall so I'm excited. I'v ebeen dying for a good job for awhile now. I hope I get it. I also only have a week until I go down to Pennsylvania (Valley Forge, Philadephia and Malvern) to visit my Dad's side of the family. I cannot wait because its shaping up to be a great vacation! One day down there I'm going out to a club with my cousin Kate in Philly all night (which is even more exciting since I can legally drink lol), and then one day I'm going out to NYC with my Aunt Deb and Kate. Then one day I'm going to a artist convention in Philly with my grandparents. They got me tickets so I can go in and actually meet some famous comic book and graphic artists. I'm so excited about that! THEN (as if that wasnt enough) my mom and chri s are picking me up down there and we're all going (me, chris, my mom and greg) to the Jersey shore on Long Beach Island for 3 days and then a whole day family trip to NYC. So I'll be going to the big apple twice. lol. It's only over the span of 2 weeks but wow! It's going to be jam packed and a vacation to remember! This will be great because I haven't seen my Dad's family in two years and I abso-lute-ly love the beach. It will be nice to have this vacation so I can get away from my life for a little while and just kick back and fun. I know I will enjoy being single for a change when I'll finally have a chance to go out and party and meet people. lol.
AH.....even if I wasn't going to have a vacation, I can honestly tell you, I'd be very very happy with my summer so far. :)
Peace out!! :D

Seems like a lifetime
Since my last post on here, so many changes have occured in my life, whether they were intentional or unintentional and I can honestly look back at my life and say it was all for the better, even though there are times I feel a little doubtful. The good overwhelms the bad though. lol.
There's not much new to post on here other than life goes on even if you don't update the blog-0-sphere. In the short span of about 4 months, I've celebrated a big birthday (21), gone from employment to no employment to new employment, learned to forgive those who've hurt me in the past, far and recently, and re-discovering who I am as an individual person. That's not to say I like being single in every way shape or form, but its for the better and its not a bad thing. For one thing, its made me alot closer to my spirituality since I no longer have that temptation to be 'physiical' in a relationship. I feel much more 'clean' although thats not a word I would use to describe it but its the best one I could think of. I don'thave the drama of a relationship to hold me down anymore and make me doubt what my dedication to my life, to the future, to my potential, and my faith. I'm not a overly zealous religous person per se, but there is something about talking to God and taking a step back and fully taking in the splendor and horror of nature and mankind that truly makes you believe more and more in a divine being. I am a very scientific person but you cannot explain everything with science and honestly, I believe religion and science are very closely connected. When we discover how things work, down to its most basic functions, were are essencially seeing how God or whomever, created the world and life itself. God did create a plant and craft its biological functions such as photosynthesis because thats how the plant would thrive and grow. Such as I believe that humans have evolved over millenia but without that special intervention or touch that (god) could only do, who is to say that humans would be how they are now? There are many parts of evolution that don't satisfy how the heck modern humans came around to be, even alongside neanderthals. Where did they come from? Simple variation and mutations and evolution cannot explain the timing of the arrival of humans on the evolutionary chain when in fact, the main primate was a creature with a much more primitive brain and so much more closely related to the ape or monkey.
So yeah, I like science.....WAY too much (lol) and history but I do have a faith and believe in that as well.
This is just some of the stuff that the last couple of months have allowed me to discover without the interference of a guy and the crap that goes with one.
I still love guys tho haha. That would never change, alas, I am still young.
In other news (if you're still reading it up to this point, I applaud you. lol) I've also felt the unfortunate side of losing some people in my life. Not because of death or whatever! good lord, no. lol. I'm just simply talking about not hanging out with certian people and being stuck at home for a good part of my time due to no job and no chance to go out and be social with new people. I'm also so much more careful about how I choose my friends now and honestly, there are so many shady people out there in the world (and i mean SERIOUSLY SHADY) its hard to know who you're entrusting your vulnerability and confidence to. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't It's unavoidable but it doesnt have to be negative. :). I'll admit, I've always had a hard time being social and meeting people but when I make a friend, I will be the best friend I can possibily be. I do not let go easily of friendships. It is not something so easily thrown into the wind at a moment's notice. I get it and I work hard to maintain it. And yes, in the past I've done some crappy things but all in all, I will stick by you. It is so easy to get caught up in a group mentality (even with just one other person besides you) and forget that your actions will have severe consequences and you will pay a price for it. I've done so and been on the very bad recieving end of it as well. From quite a few close people and while I will get mad at them or you for doing something that hurt me, whether you meant to or not, I always forgive you and sometimes I will let it go for the sake of a friendship because there is no point in being mad or bitter at someone forever because that is not a good chararistic of a person and a christian and it will eat you away inside. That doesnt mean you forget what they do. You just take the experience and use it to make yourself more wary more cautious and most of all, more wise about people and yourself. No one is 100% blame free.
So thats the end of my monologue (lol) and now I'm just looking forward for what life and this summer has in store for me. I am looking forward to my new job and to visiting family in Pennsylvania, going to the Beach next month and working on myself and my emotional and physical health as well. This summer is not going to be about romance, and if it is, it'll be spiritual romance and healthy companionship. Friends, not fucks. ;) LOL.
I am honestly going to stepping into new territority this summer and I owe it all to you, for better or worse. (you know who you are)
Peace out.

What the F?
Sigh...I havent posted on here in awhile and the main reason is because no one gives a crap about this blog and the one freind I do have on this blog oviously doesnt care about it and so I will not be posting anymore on here if no one is going to read it. Meh..so yeah. It's Valentine's Day and hmm...it's a snowed in day whch isnt all too bad but it ruines some plans and yeah, whatev. Do i care? not right now. haha. So for my last note in this blog, I hate that you never mention me in any blog. Even the ones about events that we've done together and blah lah blah and all that shit. You mention other people who I would think don't give a shit about you, but whatev. It's not my blog and you can be as far as you want. But yeah, I don't warrent a full anme or somethin? Lame ass...lol. I'm not bad just tired of this played out story. Won't acknowledge me, even in the blog about my birthday and a trip...even more lame ass. Maybe you have a good reason but I dont know what it is and so I will have to be content with my one side view of things until I am told otherwise. So yeah, I guess no one gives a fuck about me and so i will stop giving a fuck about them in the blogoshpere and myspace. First this site goes...and then myspace. What's the point of having myspace when no one talks to me through it and whatev. its shit I can hear through instant message and its not as annoying to maintain and all that. I like myspace. its a cute novelty but honestly...who really talks to me through it? Not very much. So yeah...I'm done with all this blog stuff unless I honestly start seeing some changes from people and whatev. haha. then i might change my mind. thats my rant of the week and the last one for this blog (as far as i kow) (LOL)
Peace the spork out!!

Twister
This has been a whirlwind of events the past few days! First off, it was my 20th birthday yesterday, for those of you that care. And I must say, it was great, as well as today which was a special surprise! I got to take a family trip to Knourebles, (i can't spell it, eek!) It's a great amusement park in Pennsylvania and i love it. i plan to return someday soon! I am amazed by the love that I've recieved from the people around me, especially right now. It is a great time right now, :-) In other news, I've completed my first year of college and am still a inhaler sucking, music loving, passionate human being, just one year older! haha! I love you all that I've spoken to and hung out with the past week! It has been a great week so far and I can only look forward to the rest of it! Lots of love!! ~~~Jill~~~

*--Food Sickness--*
Nov 1-URGH....I was soo sick yesterday. I was sick to my stomach, major heaadache, dizzy, muscle aches and all that crap! urgh, luckily, I'm all better today. I wasn't the only one though with this. My friend, Jada, was sick with the exact same thing on the exact same time and sinc we had spent the weekend together at her paren'ts house, it was too strange of a coincendence. Today, we found out that everyone in her family was sick also yesterday! So, the most likely culprit of our food sickness is a new barbeque sauce that her Dad used on Sunday. Hmm...never want to feel that again! Blah! I registered for my spring courses today! whoo-hoo...I'm taking the usual art requirements (history, 2-D Design, pottery) and English composition( boo....) and finally, French (beginners...never taken it!) But it should be an interesting spring...I wonder how everyone else is doing back home. My dad's house has been bombed for fleas (again!!) poor people. Kim wasn't feeling too good yesterday either but she's been sick for a couple of days. She's feeling better today. College is just drudging on. I can't wait til Thanksgiving break which is 17 days away!! WHOOOOO!!! I know, lame, but what can i say? I love da holidays! well, that's it for today! I'm pooped and have to go back to studying!! LATER GATORS!!!

WHAT A WEEK!!!
Oh my gosh! This past fall break, home from college, was so MUCH FUN!! Well, first off, my mom picked me up last monday, Oct 10, and I came home that night. I enjoyed the next day hanging out with kim and just being goofy, like old times! Then on Wednesday i hung out with kris all day, something I hadn't been able to do for a LONG time! I cherish the times i have with my family and friends and one boyfriend! Then on Thursday, good, very close friends of Carol's (my dad's new wife!!!!) came up to visit and be here for the wedding on Saturday. They were very nice people and fun to be around. Friday came and that was a special day since it was Kim's 19th birthday! WOW. WOW WOWWWOWOWOWOWWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had dinner with her and her family that nite at Curly's and got her a little gift with a card that was covered on personal notes and thoughts from me. It was a blast!! She even had a cake made with pictures of Green Day on it! MY GOODNESS...hehehe...Then the next morning, SATURDAY morning, October 15, was the BIG DAY!!! It was my Dad and Carol's wedding! I had my hair done along with others for the wedding and it was all curled and looked really nice! I wish I still had it! oh well..:) It was nice to see everyone again that I hadn't seen for so long at the wedding! The ceremony itself was beautiful and so did Carol and my Dad looked really handsome and beaming with happiness. (both were and I couldn't help being that way also!) Then they were officially married which is still a new concept with me! Afterwards the reception was held at the Falls Motel, beautiful bar area and dining room upstairs! That was a blast as well and i had a GREAT time hanging out with Kim and Kris. My best bud and boyfriend. ALthought we got a little carried out with the wine and ended up having a little TOO much fun, but it didnt ruin things for me! Then there was a party after that, back at the house, where friends and family could come to relax and mingle some more! that was great fun too! I had fun with my cousins Kate and Madeline too! I still cant believe how much Madeline (who's only 7!!) was picking on Kris! goodnes, what a smart @$$ mouth! It was funny though. Then everyone got tired and either left or went to bed. Then that day was over and i really appreciate the fact that Kim and Kris were able to come and celebrate this momentous event in my family! Ill never forget that! On Sunday, I just chilled, recovering and hung some more with my dad and kris, visited his grandparents and started to get the beginnings of a serious cold. Still have it. Today, my mom picked me up and took me back to college. I had a great trip with her (always do!!) We had lunch out, hung out for a bit and then she left. From that point on, that was the end of my fall break and one of the most amazing expereiences of my life, so far!! Im getting tired here and will end this for now!! Ta-Ta!!

I LOST MY FRAKKIN INHALER!
Hey everybody! While Jake may have only one more day of school left before his canadian thanksgving break, I have four days left until i can go home! WHOOO!! SO PYSCHED. I miss being home and seeing my family and friends so bad! In other News,I am freaking out because I lost my frakking (if you watch Battlestar Galactica or are a huge sci-fi fan, you know the frak this word means) INHALER!!! I couldn't believe it! I dropped in a hallway on my way back from class and not even ten seconds later (literally, i heard it drop) i wentback to pick it up and it was GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone had seen me drop the inhaler and then picked it up without even being considerate about me. If i knew who had taken it I would have beaten them up, no lie. It is disrepectful to pick other people's property up, unless its been there for a LONG time and you're cleaning. Even then, you take it to the lost and found or contact whoever lost it. BUT NOOO....they must have seen me drop it and knew who the frakking inhaler belongd to. I had only take maybe eight steps before i realized that my inhaler had fallen on the floor, and rushed right back!! GRRRR...this pisses me off, because what if i had needed that inhaler? Now, I have to take time out of my already busy schedule and take the bus to eckerds.....GRRR...and the inhaler was not even two weeks old. Anyway....DAM PEOPLE..they're probably using my lost inhaler to get high.....that's usually why people steal inhalers beside medical reasons. AHH!!!!! Anyway, the weather is beautiful and everything else is going fine. oh and Jake, if you read this soon, like today and or tomorrow, have fun with your vacation and if you are coming home, ill be home so maybe we can all get together and hang! that would be awesome! Kim, only 7 more days until your birthday!! YAY!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have to buy your present like, three days before your b-day! LOL.. well, that's it for today and have a good nite and a wondeful tomorrow! BYE!!!!!!!!

First Blog and Ramble On
Wow, Hmm..so this is what it's like to have a blog? Neat-O! If you don't know who i am, my name is Jillian and I'm a freshman at the best college ever! (in my opinion) The name of my site comes from Gaelic, the word "laoch" means warrior. And another one of my favorite terms is "aingeal" which means angel. The phrase "Laoch of the Storm" refers to the average strength of a person's ability to overcome all of the darkness in the their lives and survive. In a way this is being a 'warrior" of the storm (the bad obstacles of life). I seriously believe in this name because everyone, no matter who you are, what walk of life you come from, have to suffer at some point. It is human nature, but it is who you are inside and your faith that determines if you sink or swim when a situation gets dire. I want to give a out shout out to my friend Jake, whose own blog is freaking cool. I never realized how spiritual he was! Rock on! Do your thing man! and to Kim, another great friend of mine (six years now), i have to say, hope everything is getting better and less than two weeks until I come home for fall break and give you an awesome 19th birthday!!! Just hold on until then pal! that's it for now and let me know what ya think!! LATER!!!
