Jenna’s Model Life

well it’s been fun.

fun and real entertaining.

i loved all your comments. reading them made my day more often than not. especially you, shelley! you made me LOL, lol!!1

but the gig is up: i’m coming out. my name’s not jenna sauers, it’s amanda-sue pickworth. i’m not from new zealand. i come from an awesome part of the country called…maryland! and i’m not a model. i work for my dad at his office. he’s an accountant and i do filing stuff. in my spare time, i like to work out (i’m on my school’s varsity spelunking team and i do jv cheerleading as well, which is realy good considering i’m only 16!!0 and i like to build stuff. last week i made a really neat endtable where the pedastal base was made of an old, really big, desk lamp. at the moment im using it as a bedside table so it has my laptop and my stack of popular mechanics and casual speleologist. as well as a pad of notepaper in case i come up with a really perfect, like, hinge mechanism for a foosball table or something in the middle of my sleep.

anyway. i did this whole thing as a creative writin exercise for my least favorite class, english, where we were supposed to take on and explore a “literary persona” that’s reallllly different from ourselves. you all probably had that old assignment, to write a diary as if you were a character in a novel? well it’s just like that but you had to imagine the novel as well. and we had to do it for a long time to develop the character. it was kind of a drag but i think i actually learned some things.

since i hate fashion (my mom can barely get me to wear a dress, LOL) and since i’ve never been outside the country (well except once to canada when i was a baby!!), my teacher suggested i make my character someone who loved fashion and traveled alot and came from somewhere far away. since i’m only 16 i also made my character older, so she would be able to do fun things like go to nightclubs. my parents say i can get my licence only when i can do a diagram of a four-stoke combustion engine and i keep messing up the crankshafts. it’s too ironic because i totally would only want to drive a hybrid anyway.

i had a hard time reading all those fashion magazines i had to in order for these posts to make sense. at first i was like, what’s an editorial? isn’t that like in a newspaper? but i sure learned. i think i might even invest in some stella mccartney for adidas gear for spelunking. her clothes seem like they’d be appropriate for dark places under the earth.

so i gotta head to cheerleading practice now. it has been such a weight off my shoulders to not have to keep up this whole charade!! i hope some of you will stil be interested in reading the blog of an honest-to-God maryland teen. this weekend’s project is a mini-table tennis table made out of an old chalkboard. i will post pics!!!
