woot.

i get lectured about something every day. and my mom is going through menopause.

sure is good to be home :|

trying to be a positive polly

i realize my post this morning was super negative, so i thought i'd try and make up for it at lea ts a little by thinking positively:

-found out my folks want to go to holland in may, so i might be going also depending on how my money and job situations are like after this school year. (i was hoping to do an internship or something this summer, and leaving for a week right at the start wouldn't be the greatest idea). either way, i'd be happy going to europe for a 3rd time in 2 years, and i'd also be super excited by a film involved internship (plus i'd be making money not spending it).

-a bee flew into me really hard today while i was riding my bike to work (sounds like a negative, but check out this positive spin--->), but it didn't sting me so that was nice.

-my bike ride to work i thought would turn into a bad idea, turns out it was a freakin gorgeous day to do so, so yay me.

-i signed up for two art history courses this year just for fun. (i think i'll be the only one in there who's not taking it because they have to. it's the same prof as i had last time and i loved him, super funny and cynical guy)

-forgot my milk pills so i couldn't have a light blended caramel frappicino (i was even going to step up a size today!), so i was bummed, but i stopped for a slurpee on the way home instead and it hit the spot.

-there was an egg roll in the fridge when i got home from chinese food last night

-i think he misses me as much as i miss him

-no one came into my store for pretty much the last 2 hours of my shift so i curled up in a blanket in the backroom and [got paid to] read magazines

-a girl from my work told me as she was looking through my trip pictures she realized i "was gorgeous". which hey, was unexpected but super nice to hear

-i had a fine day at work. not good, but fine. i got bored and retyped the list of important phone numbers. and i was told i did a good job merching the front window.




one more negative though just for this mornings sake:
-i was told by strangers again today that i look like taylor swift. seriously people, it's just the hair. i should't complain because she is a hottie, i just complain because she's a super lame pop/country singer.

neggitive nancy

-picture from the big chill

-this is going to be a really bad week. i can feel it. filled with tears and tummy aches.

-my mom and dad's 25th anniversary is coming up and my sister and i still haven't figured out the gift.

-i'm riding my bike to work today and i think it's going to turn into a bad idea because it looks windy out.

-i need to go to the doctor caz i've been having super sharp bursts of pain right below the center of my rib cage for th epast few days and it was happening in engalnd also.

-this school term, i'm at school to 10pm twice a week. kill me.

-i'm in a hideous mood. i don't want to be here. i don't want to work. i just wnat to curl up in a ball for a while and cry and eat cupcakes.

-my feelings are a big jumble of a mess.

+i went to go buy the lykke li cd a hmv, but it's not in til the 26th. i get the only copy :)

-i lost or left my new exspensive bathing suit top in engalnd.

+i went through a bunch of blank cd's marcus gave me when he moved back to the uk, and i went through them and found that 4 weren't blank. the mixes are really good. i had one on and the song crosses came on, this is the song i've been searching for for months but didn't knwo who it was until about a week ago, and here it's been in my room for months and i never knew. made my heart swell when it came on.


Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
Crosses all over, heavy on your shoulders
The sirens inside you waiting to step forward
Disturbing silence darkens your sight
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
Crosses all over the boulevard
The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright

lauren is borin

i was talking with kelsey this morning and she was telling about a bunch of stuff she's been up to since i've been gone, including making a tattoo consultation appointment and signing up for two dance classes. this has inspired me to kick myself into high gear and try something new too. i've been talking for awhile about stuff i'd like to do, but just never got around to it, so here, in writing are a few things i'd like to do:

-sewing classes
-ballet classes (everyone laughs when i tell them this, because if you know me, i'm 100% a clutz, but i have always secretly wanted to take dance, but i'd always been to shy, but now that i'm not as sh, i would like to give it a shot)
-join a club at school
-apply for a job at my school's bookstore
-get my tattoo

that's all i have for now. pretty much, i just want to do something new and meet a lot of new people. i've felt incredibly boring this year.

the pervs are getting younger

while i was away, i left my phone plugged in so it wouldn't die. that way if anyone called it would show up on my call log and i could call them back. my dad unplugged my phone and it died. so today, upon my arrival home from europe, i get the following untracable voicemail messgae:

"ok i was wondering if lauren was there caz she's supposed to suck my dick or something and give me a long blow job for 50 bucks. call me"

by the way, it's like a 5 yrs old on the message.
(and you can tell it's not someone talking in a kid voice, it's actually a little kid...)

i think this wins for most random phone call ever. definitely from someone i know, just have no idea who. although i'm assuming its from a guy friend?

see you on monday :)

something about her in person i don't like. but i really do like her music. i saw her at big chill at she was a really good performer.
