jared collins.

favorite color: aquamarine blue.
favorite quote: "ain't no prizes." it is just the first quote that i could think of and after i think about it, i just think about it all the time. quite possibly a quote you could use for any scenario.
inspirations: um. family inspires me. there are probably a lot more. um i get inspired from everybody. everybody inspires me.
musical genius': lady gaga, katy perry, kelly clarkson..oh kelly clarkson. that's enough for now.
favorite smell: so. the smell of rain. and what is that smell...? oh...it is a fruit..it is either...it isn't...strawberries. i love strawberries. also. i don't know the name of it but it is like when people walk pass in the hall and i think 'woah. you smell good.'
something that has shaped you: my family. (he says as though it is a matter of fact.) and friends.
sports team: none.
odd talents: i can cross and eye and i can turn another one. you have to see this. (jared proceeds to show me this talent.) and odd things...? i am good at call of duty and to add a little emphasis to that you could probably say i am better than most everyone else.
era in time: back when black and white t.v. was real life. because every time i see black and white t.v. i think the world was really black and white.
flick: i would have to say inception. why i like that movie? the anticipation. because i didn't get it until DVD. well no. blu ray. blu ray is better. and then i watched it. and it was awesome.
guilty pleasures: i like to climb on top of buildings. aka the school when i shouldn't. the guilty part makes me think it is just something you shouldn't be doing. we can have that be for now.
animals: um. i would have to say i have two favorite animals. the first one would be the tiger. (chuckles.) i kind of lied. i have three favorite animals. the tiger, and the giraffe because giraffes are huge and tall and they can see everything except their feet and the third one is the kodiak bear because they are so massive. and it is hard to think about them as living things. because when you think big you think mechanical and kodiak bears are alive and massive.
obsessions: obsession being something that you think about and kind of look into too much? i guess it would be the future.
dreams: i want my own house and i want a family. and more life experience i would have to say.
favorite word in the dictionary: its a word. it has something to do with eloquence. and it might quite possibly be eloquent. if you could combine majestic, beautiful and eloquent into one word that would be my favorite word.
say something about yourself:
"something.....?" jared.
"anything. anything you want me to know." miss mandi.
"one thing i would say...when i have a lot of responsibilites i can stay...nervously calm. it is overwhelming. but it is nervously calm. that would be when i am stressed. i don't stress out too much."

*oh. i love. love. love. jared collins. he is one of those kids you start talking to and before you know it, an hour has passed. but. you don't notice because you've just had such a nice time. he is continually happy and very open minded. he accepts and cares about everyone. and the boy likes to compliment more than anyone i know.

something that has shaped you: Jesus. it sounds odd, i know. but he has. i have struggled most of my life with finding a love for myself. until the summer after my sophmore year in fact. i tried to work through it all on my own. loneliness and confusion completely owned me. the extreme want of acceptance was my main focus. i wanted to meet miss mandi. i wanted to meet her. and i wanted to love her. one day, the dad suggested a prayer. i thought that foolish. yet, i got down on my knees. and what began as a half hearted "hey there." turned into a full hearted, "i need you." plead. and slowly, but surely, the layers shed, i peeled back, and grew into myself. and one day. while simply walking down the street, i met miss mandi. and since then, she has never left. i have realized that acceptance is the farthest thing from my my mind, i only need the acceptance of myself and jesus. and nothing else truly matters.

and you give three cheers for. jesus' love. my cat smokey. and smile from a friend.
i am miss mandi. and i am satisfied with myself.

feeling warm.

i think i am selfish. because i go christmas shopping. and i want everything for my own. probably. because i shop in thrift stores. it takes all i've got to say no. and then. once i do, i shed a tear or two. hhhh.
pigs in the blanket for dinner. yum.
when i am grown. i will bake cupcakes. and put them in a cupboard. like the song.
i am not a fan of houses that all look the same. and medical anatomy makes me blush.
gingers make me swoon.

"a man sees what he wants to see. and disregards the rest."
.paul simon.

janae, she's the chef's sister. she gave birth to a child. a daughter. i saw a picture. she is a beautiful baby. for now, she remains nameless. i suggested freida. i think all people should be quoted. people are smart.
i feel warm today.

oh. baby. it's a wild world.

and i, miss mandi can second mr. cat stevens' motion.
for i learned today. that people. people are wild.
