Beep boop...HELLO DARLING!! Here's a meme I decided I'd do after seeing several of my sweet friends decide to do it, including the lovely :iconprivateholland: who tagged me in their journal of this meme. Kao emoji  (kitty smile-01) This meme basically is where I compare and contrast how I was in the past with who I am now. This will be interesting...But fun indeed! Kao Emoji-21 (o'w'o) [V1]

little starTHENlittle star 

What name did you go by?
Jenna. NOTHING but Jenna. I loathed being called nicknames. Kao Emoji-50 (Running Away) [V3] 

Gender Identification?

Female.

Sexuality?
Aromantic/asexual, yet heterosexual because I had celebrity crushes...Like Zac Efron, Justin Bieber, and Niall Horan Kao Emoji-19 (I'm sexy and I know it [V1] But I had no desire for having a romantic partner in real life, mainly because I was too young.

What was your Fursona (give us a picture!)?
I'm no furry xDDDD Never was, actually.

Hobbies?
Gardening although I failed at it, drawing, writing, playing the Wii...and EDITING WIKIPEDIA. Keep clicking "older 50" and prepare to cringe, be amused, or both. kaomoji set 1 1/19 

Personality?
Happy-go-lucky, cheerful, outgoing, friendly, and energetic, yet sensitive, easily embarrassed, and sometimes often juvenile.

Favorite food?
"Chinese food". No specific entrée; just CHINESE FOOD in general. Spare ribs and white rice were some of my preferred dishes, though...

Who was your best friend?
A girl from my school who I've known since 1st grade Pink Heart Icon 

What did you usually wear?
Justice. For those who don't know, it's this clothing store that's basically the greatest thing since sliced bread if you're an elementary school-aged girl. It had lots of gaudy T-shirts, neon colors, and peace signs/monkeys/pandas/puppies/hearts plastered on everything. 

...It's still pretty much the same thing as it was 4 years ago, when I last shopped there, today. kaomoji set 1 5/19 

Did you have any pets? If so, what were they?
A fish named Fred. Actually, multiple Freds because they kept dying. ^^;

Did you have a DeviantArt?
I didn't, but I have been BROWSING the site without an account since 2007. 
So, by the time I got my account at age 14 in August 2016, I felt pretty much like I was no newbie to the site kaomoji set 2 57/67 

If so…

Did you draw?
Just because I didn't have DA doesn't mean I didn't draw kaomoji set 1 10/19 
AND I DID.

What did your art look like (another picture!)?: 
It was icky, but it did improve with time...A major change for the better was my switching from MS Paint to SketchBook Pro in January 2015 kaomoji set 1 3/19 
Still, I look back at these and think "ew" (|[>.<]|)

How many watchers did you have?

Any other interesting info on yourself back then?:

Heart Emoji Bullet I had horrible taste in TV shows. I watched DISNEY JUNIOR (this was pre-Lion Guard, the only good Disney Junior show to me nowadays) and SPROUT up until I was in 7th grade, liked two shows about silly superheroes who don't fight crime and are despised by most people who have ever heard of them (though I do still like them a bit, but really just for the memories...), and had a love affair with CBeebies. *shudders*
Heart Emoji Bullet I had strange obsessions: ice cream trucks, radio stations, street signs, and taking pictures of other people's houses. 
Heart Emoji Bullet I had imaginary friends up until I was 12 years old. 
Heart Emoji Bullet I went CRAZY when people said curse words, even if they weren't saying them to me. If I heard my mom cursing on the phone, I would yell at her. I actually CRIED when a friend of mine who was younger than me, and usually didn't curse, said a word I considered a curse word (and I thought she had considered it one, too), then said "What? It's not a curse..."
Heart Emoji Bullet I hated when things changed, and never updated my iPod Touch's software because of this. 
Heart Emoji Bullet I had a bazillion inside jokes with my best friend, the majority of which would not make sense to anyone but us.
Heart Emoji Bullet I had irrational fears, including going barefoot (ever since I broke my toenail at karate class in 2nd grade); any ride at amusement parks that went fast; going to parties (JUST because I was afraid they'd play songs I wouldn't like); and...JUST DANCE CHARACTERS. That last one though...what was I thinking?! That shows just how soft I was as a child...

We have somewhat gone our separate ways, but I am truly blessed to have such a sweet, understanding, pure, true blue, and AMAZING friend who has been my best friend for as long as she has. Kao emoji  (happy cry-04) I hope that our friendship won't ever end! 


What do you usually wear?
I have a generally down-to-earth yet cute and girly style; I wear jeans or leggings with loose-fitting tops or sweaters, and I get my clothes from various trendy mall stores like Aeropostale, H&M, Forever 21, Macy's, American Eagle Outfitters and Hollister kaomoji set 1 19/19 

Do you have any pets? If so, what are they?
None because my dad won't let me >.<

Any other interesting info on yourself now?
A lot less of an overgrown preschooler.

:bademoticon: REFLECTION TIME:bademoticon: 

How much have you changed between these years?
I'd say quite a lot!

Are you happy with the changes?
I am because I have never not been happy with who I am...Kao Emoji-80 (Welcome) [V4] 

Is there anything you wish you could go back to and change?
Eh...not that I can think of. I was happy with who I was when I was younger...and sometimes I miss those good old days kaomoji set 1 8/19 

Which part of your life did you like more; old or new?
The new part, because I feel like its going to lead into a bright future for me! Kao Emoji-66 (Here's a good luck charm) [V4]

It was indeed! Kao Emoji-86 (Being cute) [V5]
