Orange-u-tan.

I'm getting my replacement Fiesta Movement/Threadless shirt mailed to me! I'm so excited because I really loved this months shirt but I keep receiving the wrong size so there's no way for me to wear/promote! (Yes, the replacement is ALSO the wrong size but at least its a size bigger, not 3 sizes too small! Eek!) Woot for awesome Fiesta Movement gear!

I haven't been talking much about El Ninja Turtle Fiesta have I? Well, I hit 4900 finally! Or was it 4800? Hm...not sure. Anyway, the car is still running awesommmmmme. It's extremely smooth and so fun to drive around. Everyone who comments on it has something good to say about its style and performance (if I let them play around with it). It still could use a dome light in the back seat, especially when I'm carting around my brother at night and he drops something on the floor or I have to clean up Rice Krispies off the back seat.

My Mission #4 is TOMORROW! I'm going to help out a ReStore for Habitat for Humanity. If you've never heard of the organization, look into it! It's an awesome cause and I'd really love to help build a home one of these days! You should too! I'll actually be helping out the ReStore, which works sort of like a Goodwill/Salvation Army store. The money from the sales of all the donations goes toward supplies used toward the homes. It's real interesting and I can't wait to help as much as I can!

Onto the Nostalgic Janeblog! Start from the beginning if you haven't already!

Entry 9: January 27, 2005

Ode to a Tree (not in poem form)

Ode to a tree, how thou hast provided my shade from the dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun. Waving in the wind, thou hast turned the carbon dioxide from my mouth into oxygen. What a wonderful feeling it is to see pictures of jungles and see a vast variety of deep green fluffs amongst the ground. Thou hast given thy life for my school supplies. Oh, how I need paper and pencils. I thank thee. I love thee so much for all of the habitats you provide for the squirrel, and the bird, and the koala, and the orangutan, and the raccoon, and the runaway child. Oh, runaway child. I love thee also. Do not be scared. Run home! Where was I? Oh yes. Tree. Oh how I love to see thee at Christmastime dressed in lovely decorations of crimson. Thou hast also provided heat for me in the yonder fireplace. Trees. Trees. Ode to trees. Thank ye ever so much for all ye hast given to me.

Road Rage

I just got done spending over an hour in stop-and-go-10mph-or-less traffic. It was quite a workout. I never thought I would lose weight in traffic until I started driving the Ford Fiesta. Working the clutch and driving with tint-less windows sure makes you feel like you're running laps...or doing crunches...out in the sun.

What I'm trying to get to is that a man driving a tow truck next to me in traffic witnessed my first rage attack on the road. All I did was the typical OfficeSpace Samir steering wheel shake but it was pretty big for me.

Poor car. It just doesn't deserve the Texas weather. The A/C just doesn't seem strong enough to cool it and I can just sense the decals on the sides melting in the sun.

1st Mission Exposed

AGENT 48, if you wish to continue to begin your highly confidential mission, please press "Continue".

[*Continue*]

AGENT 48, as you know, you were chosen from over 4000 to become one of the top anticipated levels of the year. For this, I applaud.

[Stadium applause heard from speakers]

Now, your first mission will be exposed to you. Please attach the cords provided in the hatch above you to your temples on either side of your head. These will read your inner thoughts. In order to qualify to proceed with the mission, you must have a brain wave of 480-560 tps.

[Hatch opens, revealing wires and instructions in German. *Attaches*]

[7 beeps, pause, 2 beeps, pause, long beeeeeeeeeeep]

We will now proceed.

AGENT 48, your first mission will involve the satisfaction for mortal hunger. Surrounding your city of settlement, we have strategically placed hundreds of food preparation houses. Most of these prepare food at high speed. Of these places you must choose. With the preloaded credit card you will now find in your front pocket, you will need to drive your provided FORD FIESTA and find and enter a "fast food" establishment of your choice of favor and proceed to speak with the cash handling representative. You will need to make it clear that you will need each item featured on the menu above you. The representative may ask you to repeat this order. I give permission to do so until this person is clearly made known your request. Once payment has been transferred, you must wait until each item is prepared correctly.

As you can see from the hologram, there will be more than just you. In order for this to happen, you will need to provide your own choice of help. We will name these as trustees. The trustees aide you in transfer of the prepared food to your destination.

[hologram animates]

AGENT 48, when the food is finished, you and the trustees will need to take the food in your provided FORD FIESTA to a public establishment of your choice and disperse it all civilians.

You, nor the trustees, may NOT consume of any of the food.

The mission must be recorded by you or any trustee with any media device, including your provided SONY WEBBIE HD CAMERA.

[long beeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

This mission is to take place on the twenty first of the 5th month of our calendar during the year 2009 AD.

[another long beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

AGENT 48, keep in mind one thing:

I did it for the lulz. ;)

The mission is true though. Keep posted for new info coming soon.

Airplane Log

Fiesta Movement

I feel so behind! I'd been checking out the Fiesta Movement page and found that almost everyone has created or tweaked their current blogs to revolve around the Fiesta Movement.

Wait...wait. What am I talking about, you say? I'm talking about the contest I joined back in the middle of March. This contest topped it all in my opinion. 100 "agents", they called 'em, had a chance to test drive and promote a 2011 Ford Fiesta for 6 months. Free gas. Free insurance. It's just you, a free car, and a mission each month to go out and promote the vehicle.

But the agents sounded the most interesting of all. Ford wasn't looking for TV celebrities, nor were they looking for the common people of the world. They were looking for top notch social networking internet stars. They needed people that could tell a story to their following online of their adventures and experiences with the car, no matter what they be.

Tia told me about the contest in February but I was still a bit iffy of the whole thing. We had to create a 3-5 minute YouTube video explaining yourself and why you would be a good agent for the Fiesta Movement, along with filling out an application online. There were about 10 videos already "favorited" on the site and after watching them I felt a bit nervous. How could I create an awesome submission video in the time alotted? The videos were good!

Then it hit me. Remember these videos?























Champura had helped me with these videos. I thought they were pretty awesome so I got him to join me on this mission to become an agent. We went and created the best video I'd ever submitted to YouTube. Take a gander.



It took about 2 straight weeks to prepare for. I had to get up early on my days off to record, get my business speech class to help record, stay up late on Skype calls, and drive my sister everywhere so I could get all my recording clips in as quickly as I could. It was quite a relief to have it finished that I almost forgot to actually apply for the contest.

As the deadline started gaining, fiestamovement YouTube vids started accumulating. 300...400...500...all the way up to almost 600 videos submitted by the deadline. In all there were about 4000 submissions, including straight applications without a video. This got me extremely nervous. Only 100 agents in the United States were going to be picked. The percentage was getting lower and lower by each passing day.

March 30, 2009


Watch live video from Jane? on Justin.tv
I was one of the first ones to be called!

We were going to have a training conference in Austin but that shortly after got cancelled due to the small amount of winners in the southwest region of the US (there were 3 of us down here) so they told us to choose another conference region. I chose Seattle. I'll be leaving May 1 for the 2-day conference and flying back May 2. I know the conference is going to be awesome but I still don't know what all to expect and what will be in store for me in the next 6 months!

So look forward to it! YouTube, Justin.tv, and Twitter are going to be my main mediums for this adventure. The car is awesome and I can't wait to meet others sharing the same experience!
