Trent's MSN History

John talked to Heidi, JR talked to Jessie B
I ate my nachos
but I didn't mind

up for some leading questions?
I'm gonna ask questions that lead the conversation in the direction that I want it to go...

extreme feelings correspond to an extreme person

if a girl made me food, I'd talk to her as much as she wanted

I'm pretty unhealthy

you've got boy powers
the powers work this way
you go up to a boy and say "do this for me"
and he does it
powers require developing

annoyances are meant to be verbalized

that's what soul friends are for

what's wrong with taking the occasional drink on the weekend when I'm a recovering alchoholic?

if I called you a "fox's mother" would you be more or less offended than if I called you a "foxy mama"

ah, the flirtatious banter of a first encounter

of course, it was a revenge snuggle
how old are you again?

where did you learn your logic, Jessie?

Jessie, I mean this is the nicest possible way
everyone knows that you're needy
needy in a normal and completely dependent sort of way
guys dig needy, though

there's such a thing as the "Needy Hot Scale"
it's a measure of how hot you have to be to make up for how needy you are
well, in light of the last 3 days, either get less needy, or get more hot

Jessie:
I've gotta get clean, time to stop smelling like a campfire
Trent:
God can make anyone clean, Jessie
that was a joke
well, not really cause He can
but anyway

Trent:
ok, 400,000 people in halifax
49% are guys, that's 196,000
52% are in a relationship
that's 94,080 left
about 21% are in your age range (which we'll say is 20-27)
10% are gay
that's 17,781
approximately 45.38% of people in HRM are protestant
that's 8,069
and girls generally turn away 95 guys out of 100 for Character/physical flaws
Jessie:
LOL no they don't!!
Trent:
yes, they do
trust me
that leaves.... 403
now, if you're shooting for guys who have a thing for peg legs..... you'd be lucky if there's one in there
do you have any ethnic preferences?
if you were looking for a french guy, you'd only have 72 guys to choose from
I know how you girls love your hot Parisians...

Ah, Grade 6's...

FAV KIDS
1. Alex.
He can't say "ch".
His friends finally discovered this about him during a meal.
I had to stop the repetitive back and forth of:

Boys (in unison)- "Alex, say 'chicken'!!"
Alex- "Shhhhhicken. Guys, I say it the same way you do!!"
Boys laugh until they can hardly breathe.

2. Massimo.
Massimo is sensitive.
I feel for this adorable, Italian kid.
He broke a window today by knocking on it and felt really bad.
The place is ancient.

Boy (impatiently)- "Massimo, you AREN'T a murderer."
Massimo (in a soft and pained voice)- "I really feel like one. I've killed so many worms today..."

3. Mary.
She became my BFF 15 minutes after I arrived at the school.
I have no idea why she doesn't have any friends.
Friendly, friendly girl.
A teacher told me she can be really rude.
I was looking forward to that.
Unfortunately, she was nice to me and the other children the entire time.

FAV COMMENTS ABOUT ME
1. Jessie, you look like a gym teacher of ours once. Except your face.
2. Are you a vegetarian? I dunno, you just look like one.
3. You're pretty.
4. You're awesome.
5. It's okay guys. Jessie knows about our hidden candy. She's cool.
6. Do you have kids?

This Song Is Me

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey, you know me, it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh, and I found myself listening

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See, I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

I won't be far from where you are, if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself, and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

Notable Quote

Shaun Zwicker on my heartache:
Shaun: Just stay away from the bottle.
Jessie: Oh, I will. I'm not a big drinker to begin with. I am planning on suntanning today.
Shaun: That's a good vice. Skin cancer your pain away...

Nickname

I really don't like it when people call me "Jess" without knowing me well.
I have to feel like you understand me for you to call me by my nickname.

People I really like calling me "Jess":
1. my mom and brother
2. my girls
3. Tristan Green
4. Matt Showell

People I don't like calling me "Jess":
1. my boss
2. my random co-workers
3. people I have just met (especially when they break out the nickname within 24 hours of knowing me)

Notable Quote (about my house):
Jessie: "Brrrr. How warm is it outside?"
Mitchell: "Don't worry, it's much warmer outside than it is in here."
