what a day
by lauren
today was a good day. i did lots of things.
i woke up late. i like to sleep in a lot. my mom woke me up at noon. i ate breakfast then i got cleaned up.
my dad took me to get my temps renewed. we went to delaware. it was closed, i was mad. so i went to captain bettys. it was cool, but i did not find anything. i was sad because i really wanted like everything. i love vintage clothes. and captain betty was really nice to me. i bought something, but it's a secret because its a christmas present. i just don't know who to give it to.
after captain bettys we went to the park to drive. it was cool. i am getting better, that is good. i am less scared, i did not freak out today. it was fun.
then we got starbucks. i got a mocha mint frappucino and it was yummy. that is my favorite kind. then i went to buy jeff a christmas present it is cool.
i went home. dad got chipotle. it was good. i ate lots of good food today. then we played this game it was cool. i won once. then i watched two shows of 24.
it was a good day. i hope tomorrow is good too.
music: the cuuuuuure.
its a treacherous thing...

obsessive?
obsessed with: the cure. holy man, i love the cure. my love for the cure grows daily. i must have more albums. morrrrre. i must watch the videos over and over. i must be crazy in love with the cure.
obsessed with: thanksgiving. it was a good one. i hadnt seen the extended fam in a long time, so i was actually pleased to see them. we havent been able to go to cincinnati since mom got sick (in august... wow that's so long...) so it was cool to be there again. both my grandmas made amazing meals. first prize goes to my aunt carol though, for making pumpkin pie. i think i ate half a pumpkin pie. including some for breakfast today. it's great breakfast food! carol put me and jeff up at her house because she's awesome. we slept on my cousin's bunk beds. it was pretty sweet. i left my pillow there though. sad. as i said it was cool to see all the cousins, including Louie, who calls me "lowie", and John who stayed out of my hair because he was playing Age of Empires the entire time, and Michael who has a new piercing (lip, off to the side), and Alex who has calmed down about this much > < and Aaron who's cute but wouldn't acknowledge me... btw, yes, all my cousins are boys. it was nice to see my grandma. and great uncle tim was there... i just wrote a story about him recently. it was kinda weird seeing him.
obsessed with: all the cool crap i got today. cd cases, photoshop 6.0, $10, a cd labeling kit, and my "republicans for voldemort" teeshirt.
obsessed with: the future. my future. whether that is the future in two days or two years or one year or ten years. im confused about love, about carreers, about what i really want in life. i don't know who i want to be. i dont know who i am. i dont know why i am angry sometimes.
music: the cure. and supergrass.
show me how you do it
and i'll promise you
i'll promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

note the timestamp on this entry, please
Yep. It's that time. And I'm awake. Why? Because. I'm going to breakfast. Soon. At Kathleen's. Does she know? No. But she will when Arvind, Brian, maybe Andy and I show up at her house at around 7. I can't get up to my room to get cleaned up, so I am going in my pajamas in all my unshowered glory. This is completely insane. Btw, I havent slept tonight.
music: the cure. their entire video career. yeah, i watched it all tonight.

YAY!
"everybody's clever nowadays" is from "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde.
music: the smiths, Rubber Ring
...for Lemmings. i used to have that game on the first computer our family had. we had to close windows 3.5 and run it out of DOS, as we did with most of our games. it was all pixel-y and the lemmings were just little blue rectangles with white faces and pixel-y green hair. they were so cute. i liked the blockers best-- they stood there with their arms out and shook their heads back and forth: "you can't go this way!"
at the same time i got a pleasure out of hitting that button that made them all explode. there would be a little countdown above their heads that went 5...4...3...2...1... and then they'd shake and explode and pixels would go everywhere and there would be little craters blown out of wherever they were standing. ooooooh man. so good.
does anyone know if there's any way for me to get Lemmings again?
music: still ...nothing like the sun
i'm sick. but the good news is that this template decided to show its picture again. the other bad news is it blogs in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order. hiss.
music: ...nothing like the sun
i'd stare at your face the whole night through
i'd go out of my mind but for you

hey...
i want my bcbg button back!
music: joy division
tonight was wicked fun. battle of the bands. if you opted for the football game, you clearly missed out because from every account i've heard, the game sucked. neither the nothing new nor the lo-fi aurora won, but brian's dad was correct in saying that the nothing new was much more musical than the other bands. one could very easily say the same for the lo-fi aurora. it was very difficult to decide who to vote for because they both rocked so hard, and i still cannot say which act was better. congratulations regardless to f.a.t.e, the winners, a davidson band.
i cut my own hair today. i cut it. with scissors. it was easily one of the most traumatizing experiences of my life. and yet liberating. but mostly just scary. i almost cried, and i was definitely really nauseated for a long time. but i guess it turned out okay... the only thing was, i cut it straight across, and i'm like, that looks weird, so i cut it again and i felt that it was too short. but i like it alright. however, i have not taken my hair down from its twistymess to see how it looks with the rest of my hair. ::crosses fingers:: if its awful, that's okay... i have to go see mark soon anyway. real soon. remind me to call him. (mark is my hair-cutting guy).
last night was equally boss: bridget's 18th birthday party. it was at the partyhouse at antrim park. it was pretty sweet... for the first half i was a total wallflower... i hung out with katie and allison and sunny, and adam and mike a little bit. then they all left. along with the other assorted wallflowers. all of them. so i had no choice but to join THE DANCING. i am a crappy dancer. bad bad bad. its not that i have no rhythm... its just that i can't dance. i just look stupid. so i felt really self-conscious at first. but after a while, as always happens, my inhibitions trickled away and i just danced like a maniac... and i'm sure that's what i looked like. it was kinda weird because i didn't know a lot of the people there, but i did know about half of them so it was okay. i definitely slowdanced for about 45 seconds with brett and jonathan braund... at the same time... a unique experience. and i did lots of just dancing dancing around with everybody. it was a pretty sweet night. then i came home and watched this old, bad movie with my dad and during commercials we watched the end of "close encounters of the third kind" and here's what i learned:
close encounter of the 1st kind: seeing the craft
close encounter of the 2nd kind: the aliens disturb the atmosphere somehow
close encounter of the 3rd kind: actual contact with the aliens
so now i know how to classify alien encounters.
i think that's about all i got.
music: modest mouse
ps. i doubt the comment log will ever come back. my old service died and i dont feel like getting a new one.
pps. today was national kissing day and i didn't kiss anyone.
ppps. did i mention i cut my hair? i'm really freaked out about it.

its way too late
i should not be awake. i should not be writing.
all niter last night was pretty sweet.
"dude, shut up."
thanks to:
brian for the pumpkin
kathleen for the silver platter
cynthia for the shoes
michelle for the doll bed
mrs. jensen for the fax machine
arvind for the bike. i definitely rode that bike a lot. including in the chapel... that was sweet. and i ran into a wall.
i suck at bowling.
and ive reached a realization that its really over. i don't know why i didn't already. i had this idea that it just wouldn't be. i'm bitter. i can't lie.
i'll get over it.
music: what havent i listened to tonight?
movies: the matrix and the matrix reloaded. i watched them both today, it was really very enjoyable. i need to see revolutions now. my family gave it poor reviews, and overall the reviews ive heard have been mixed, but i still need to see it. especially because i just devoted an entire day to preparing to do so. the first two really are such good movies...

ill miss you!
ill be at outdoor ed for the next few days. it should be pretty cool. and if all else fails i have candy. but heres the deal:
jill, shannon, and chelsea: i need to know ASAP if you guys can go the the allniter this weekend. we are gonna do the coolest stuff... this one game where we go to peoples houses and make them give us stuff... it should be sweet and i neeeeed you to come. if you can. email me. or leave a comment on this thing.
adam and brian: hey... i need an answer soon regarding the battle of the bands. soon soon. theres actually a meeting on wednesday about it and ideally you guys would be there but i dont see that happening exactly because i likely wont be there but just in case its at the place listed on the business card that adam probably put through the wash. leave me a comment or talk to me later or call mo, the guy in charge, at 761-0363. you guys should really play this, if only because you could win a crapload of money. and it will seriously rock. we'll make all your groupies come and emo out and it will rock. and you can even change your name to atheism if you want, although thats a crappy band name.
uhhhhh...
music:fif, the cure, the smiths, david bowie, josh groban... i listened to a lot of music today... and some all star united
