Hello!
The night before last, my mom and I went to the W hotel in San Diego, where I attended a ‘celebrity dinner’ to sort of kick-off the Mother Goose Parade. It was a blast! I danced around with my awesome friend (I call her my lil sis!) Sammi Hanratty as well as Aria Wallace and the Ochoa boys (Ryan and Raymond). I met Justin Martin from High School Musical 3 and Tony Oller from As the Bell Rings… they were both very nice and fun! Turns out Tony knows the ‘fast food freestyle’, so we were rappin’ that out together. Then Justin broke into some fierce freestylin’ and I felt obligated to chime in. haha good times, good times. Both Justin and Tony’s moms were very kind as well… awesome!
You know what was insanely cool about the dinner, though??? TORI SPELLING came over to me and introduced herself! Yep, it’s true! She was incredibly nice and friendly! She told me iCarly is on the TV at her house almost every day and that it’s her son’s favorite show! We took some pictures together and she hugged me and talked to me for awhile. To say the least, I was pretty psyched. .
The next morning, I woke up bright and early for the Mother Goose Parade. One of my best friends Annie and her mom Cindy came! Annie and I have a handjive we call the “Beast Handjive” because it’s so long it’s like a beast, so we were enjoying adding some more claps, turns, and stomps onto that!
As we were all waiting for the parade to start, I:- met the band Menudo! They all just came over and started talking to me. They were so easygoing and down-to-earth!- made up a rap with my awesome pal Ryan Ochoa (Ro yo, haha).- was shocked when Efren Ramirez (PEDRO FROM NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!) took one of my many red bracelets off of my left hand and put it on his hand, then took a hairtie off his hand and put it on mine. Haha I still have “pedro’s” hairtie on my hand and I am not intending on taking it off anytime soon. I mean, come on! How many people can say they have a hairtie from PEDRO?!- met Jerry Mathers and Christopher Knight. Some original kid actors for ya! They were both cool and nice.
Then, I went out, walked the red carpet, and did some interviews before starting the parade!!! The parade was very, very, very FUN! It was humbling to see so many people waiting and watching, and it was priceless to see some of the reactions on the faces of everyone. I was so touched by the people who made signs for me! I attempted to snap some pictures with my phone, but because I was on a moving car, they came out kinda blurry haha. One little girl even brought me a cute little pink container filled with homemade chili! Attached to the lid was the girl’s school photo with a note on the back that said “I hope you like this chili, Jennette”. How sweet is that?! I will never forget it. .
Well, it was an eventful weekend. I had lots of fun. .
Now, a quick tidbit on music before I sign-off. Guitar’s going great!! I have an incredibly cool teacher named Tyrone. He’s such an amazing person and the best teacher I could ask for. .I’m learning how to play some of my songs, so I’m really excited about that. Drums are going quite swimmingly as well! My teach Jacob is quick the rocker, so I feel like I should be wearing ripped up vests and black skinny jeans to my lessons. hahaha.
I’ve been listening to David Archuleta’s CD just about every day on my way to work. Still lovin’ it, of course!!! Hey, thanks for letting me know about his song “Works for Me”. I pre-ordered his deluxe CD on iTunes, but sadly, that CD does not include his exclusive wal-mart song! I listened to it on youtube and LOVED IT!!!!!!!! It reminds me of a cross between Smokey Robinson and Jack Johnson… thanks for pointing that one out, guys!
Well, that’s it for now. These blog posts always end up so much longer than I expect!!
