Dear Boohbah Zone,
I miss you and think of you fondly. Where did you go? I am so sad without your bizarre music and brightly colored amorphous beings. And that dog that had to jump for the ball.
Love, Lauren

"Lauren... you smell like Axe."
Yes, Jeff, I do. Because I am wearing Adam's shirt. And it smells like boy, and there is no finer thing. Plus it says things in Hebrew on it. I really like this shirt, its cutemax. I want to keep it, but that would make me a bad friend. And while I am willing to sacrifice many things (such as love, my future, and large sums of money) for teeshirts, friendship is not one of them.
Tech is going well. Going to spend seven hours with it tomorrow... joy. And I sacrificed my friday night to it too... paper mache-ing that stupid, bane-of-my-existence crab shell. And it still needs several more layers. Pff. Yes, pff I say. Oh well. Still grounded anyway. But my parents are awesome awesome softies so they are letting me go to a couple things this weekend. One is the superbowl party, the other is a (secret).
Oh, and my dad thinks i hate him. Cause i say mean things to him. Its not on purpose, its just when he pokes me or puts his arm around my neck... i mean, i think its just fine when he gives me a hug or puts his arm around my shoulders but for whatever reason anything besides that makes me crazy. CRAZY. then i get mean. sorry dad. honest.
well that was an interesting twist of events.

tongue tied or short of breath dont even try
today has been pretty much a waste of life so far, but that's my fault and im nearly at terms with it. the lowlight was going to see my guidance counselor. i dont like that woman at all. she doesnt let me make decisions. she wouldnt let me drop calculus. i didnt push it cause i was already pissed that i cant take computer graphics pass/fail so it will drop my gpa. oh well, i like computer graphics and i dont like anything else that affects my gpa so that's fine with me. what the heck am i going to do with my life though? i mean, really? there is nothing that i really love except listening to music, being with friends (which i only love sometimes anyway) and maybe looking at art. maybe reading. maybe i'll be an editor. or a proofreader, im good at that. maybe i'll die young and not have to worry about it.
joe said i was morbid today for threatening to rip out his and (boy)sam's vocal cords and use them for hair scrunchies. wonder what his deal is.
i really should start the great gatsby. maybe tonight. im excited to read it. i was going to start like an hour ago but then got sucked in... damn computer.
and marc is new to the friends list. welcome him. go see his fine blog.
try a little harder...

you're going to be very bad for business.

trespassers will be prosecuted
its true. fun fact: "assers" is the second half of that first word. whoops. tech is getting really fun. the more time we spend together the better it gets. chris bolles made a good joke today, then killed it. i sat on the stage and talked with the girls about boys, which was ultra-fun, and we had chipotle. nobody feels like working these days, including me. but that's okay. as long as i get this god-forsaken crab shell made it's all just fine.
i really need to emancipate myself from this "going to bed on time" thing. sleeping is sooo less cool. i think tonight i will just read the sun also rises again so i can remember it.
music: many. i rather like my itunes.

ready to be scolded
because im giving the screw to being in bed on time tonight. its pretech week. i was at school til eight, which wasnt so bad because i did very little and got to eat chinese. i dont feel like sleeping. hm. school sucks. maybe tomorrow will be a snow day? (not looking good).
theres something wrong with me. i need some kind of distraction. or a focus.
music: kajagoogoo
ps. welcome daria to the friends list because she is cool. and she likes the cure. and she's SOOOOOO emo.

day,
snow day. it was alright. lots of sleeping, lots of computer. lots of orange juice. read a little, watched some stupid tv... i stomped my name in the snow in my backyard and it looks wonderful from my window. cursive with a heart at the end. darling. bought some music today... "too shy" by kajagoogoo. i repeat, kajagoogoo. just because i like saying that word. and "love is a battlefield" by pat benatar, which is one of my favorites ever. and i bought the rise and fall of ziggy stardust. i cannot explain in words the feelings i have for david bowie. im infatuated. i dont care that he met his wife while they were dating the same guy, i dont care that he used to wear more makeup on one day than i have ever worn in my life combined. david bowie is cooler than you. he is cooler than me. he is amazing. and awesomecross.
music: ziggy stardust. its like drugs.
isnt that nice? its from a barbara kruger. i like her. sort of. well enough, anyway. im a little bit bothered by how pretentious her work is, but hey, some of the words are just great.
anyway... its been a whole week. ive not been on the computer in a week. so ive had to do other things with my time. that was a really interesting experience... probably very good for me. the highlights:
the conservatory. went to the conservatory with mom and grandma to see the chihulys. they were so pretty... i dont know if i have a favorite. i really liked the koi pond. and i liked the big balls that were outside. it was snowing and my mom said it wasnt as pretty as the last time she was there and the sun was shining, but there was something calm and bizzarre about it that was really cool. it was overall totally beautiful. im glad i went. ooh ooh and we went through bexley and i want to live there. and i saw st. charles!! the school! it was insane, i was like, "omg its frank's school!" and then a bus was going by and robert was in the bus and i was like "aaaah its robert!" so i waved but i dont think he recognized me. or maybe he didnt see me. but yeah it made me all excited for some reason.
went to the bolton's for dinner with the parents, that was fun i suppose. it was good to get out of the house... theres only so much reading i can do before i feel slightly crazy. or bored. the boltons were fun as usual. bob, for his fiftieth birthday, decided he wanted to eat pizza from 50 different pizzerias. so we brought bellecino's pizza, which was decent. bob made scones, they were delicious. julia's still teaching piano, finally saw andrew who i thought id see at that allniter i helped at. tim was there too, of course. he's funny. taller than he used to be. we complained about our parents together, and we all played perudo. i didnt win.
most of the week i was too busy to do anything at all, but the weekend, except for those outings, has been mostly sitting about in my room reading. i buzzed through "angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging" which was okay. not literature or anything, but a little bit amusing. i also had to read the sun also rises, which i liked pretty well. its that lost-generation literature, it just gets me going. im in love with it. and as ive learned, when i am in love with something there is nothing wrong with it at all. so i couldnt hate brett. i rather envied her. yes, im aware of how sick that is. further observations on characters in the book: poor jake. what a good guy. mike was just sort of stupid, but an absolute ass when drunk. cohn was one of those guys i just want to kick in the teeth. liked bill though. i had stopped with the clockwork orange because i wanted to focus on the sun also rises. i just got distracted by the angus book. i picked it up again today and remembered how much i liked it. werid thing about sitting in my room... ive been looking out the window a lot. i watch it snow, of course, but i look out there expecting something. nothing ever came. good way to kill time, though, looking out the window. i wonder if its still snowing right now. i like snow. should play in it tomorrow.
i just wrote a really long paragraph complete with swears about how angry i am. i decided it was too mean. cause it was. but really... all i'll say is i do NOT like to be pitied.
music: all sorts. lots of modest mouse, some cure, a little josh groban. elliot smith.
ps. golden globes were fairly boring, but okay. adult swim was much better... they complimented my bum. really!

stella, i am sorry
i cant imagine how stressed/freaked you must be. i know i would just explode. i hope you are in not that much trouble and that your house is not that much of a mess. i love you. and thank you for throwing the party in the first place, because it was most righteous. i had a lot of fun.
.
as i said, it was most righteous. i was most impressed with... well... everyone. shannon and i made cool tee shirts for it too!!! oh man our shirts owned. they were white with a black bar in them and in the bar it said "groupie." my idea and iron-on letters, shannon's screenprint ink and tee shirts. it was excellent. i think arvind has a picture... arvind can i get that picture? we were specifically groupies for, of course, scioto's premiere band featuring (in alphabetical order) Adam, Andy, Arvind, Brian and Mike, but all the other bands rocked hard too. of note:
the lo-fi aurora--it was so weird... it was like they got rich or something.
roar is the sound--wow. id never heard them before and... well. wow. wow. i wish they could have played more. and i totally have a chunk of that ceiling tile they busted up.
darlin'--missed them at arvind's. i really enjoyed them. funny thing... ive known the guitarist almost as long as i can remember, but we've never had a real conversation. his parents are friend with mine.
vomitxskull was silly fun too, as usual. pity efc didnt get a chance to play. and everyone else who was supposed to play after the cops showed up. if you missed it, you missed a good time. but still... poor stella. stella, im sorry! i wish i could make it up to you!

god love late nights.
my father wouldnt let me on for the longest time, he was busy playing a game. so tonight i watched baz's romeo + juliet. it was excellent. what a great movie. it was the LONGEST time, may i remind you, so i also watched all the special features. good times. rock and roll.
today was pretty excellent. forced myself to wake up early enough to be out at noon, went to cynthiafest. it was fun, i had some soup and enjoyed the joyous company. after that i came home and then me and shannon went to borders. i spent a hundred twenty dollars and it felt SOOOO GOOOD. sure, most of it was books for school, but still, i got a calendar and baz's r + j and a calendar for mo that is spam, and a clockwork orange and something for cynthia's birthday and yum. honestly, it made me more happy than it probably should have. i love spending money and getting new things. it makes me want to be rich and be able to do that all the time. but if i could do it all the time im sure it wouldnt be as fun. its enjoyable to daydream about being rich and famous and fast though. ooh how quickly i would just self-destruct....
i need to stop. its so late.

go go go
i left tech early in order to come home and go running. i didnt go running. i didnt need much dissuading, and my mom pointed out that it was insanely cold, so i figured i'd just stay warm by staying home and allowing an insulating layer of fat to cover my body.
got sixteen hours of sleep last night. SIXTEEN. i went to bed right after dinner last night at 7, and woke up at 11 this morning. sixteen. incredible. i wonder how that's going to affect my sleep pattern for tonight... hm. maybe i just won't. sleep, that is.
i need to start hanging out with people more. i have been so introverted lately, i need to get out and do stuff. this weekend will be good for that with cynthia's thing and the show at stella's. but still... i need to just randomly call people and do stuff. fun stuff. with fun people. too much sitting and thinking for this girl. definitely.
so who wants to do something tonight?

and all of my stories might even be boring
in fact this one is. up super late last night playing the picture game. well, not super late. just late. i stayed up til 3 because i could afford it: no school for meeeee! so i just slept in until noon. got up. rojo came over, we played mario kart for a really long time and it was ultra-fun. i kicked his butt. except on battle... i suck at battle mode.
i'm always the princess.
rock.
after that went to tech, that was cool. watched some simpsons.
two exams tomorrow, then i'm done. yay. excited for the show on sunday and cynthia's birthday lunch.
i really need to get my prop list done. oh well.

nerves. i am a basket case tonight. screw those personality disorder tests, i know for a fact that i'm ultra paranoid. i just feel high strung to the teeth today. i think it's dinner with the family. i scare them a little recently, and i like to abuse them just a little and they get irritated and i get irritated and its just CRAZY! we dont like, fight. we just talk, and while we arent really serious, we are serious enough that it gets tense and weird.
i guess you'll have that. i guess.
i guess you'll also have your entire family reading over your shoulder as you blog.
God bless family togetherness.

music: good will hunting soundtrack, postal service- clark gable
and that is my justification for not working on my essay or studying. i just don't care right now.
my pinky finger is cold. only my pinky. darn my blood and its not wanting to go to my fingers sometimes.
i think i'm going to stay up really late tonight. i think watch Alex and Emma cause dad said it was good. or maybe just play with my blog. i have so much fun with it... if you will look below my chatterbox you will see my brand new LINKING STYLE BUTTON! im very proud of it, so if you used it i would be smiley-like. if you didnt i wouldnt be upset, though. and below that i have more linky buttons. i love the linky buttons so if you have a linky button give it to me and i will see that it gets put up. and even if you dont have one and desire to be on the friends list, let me know. i take great pleasure in designing this thing. im especially proud of how its all black and white. yay.
so i was talking to frank earlier and we were exchanging fun pictures, but then he signed off without saying goodbye, so i'm sad. i'll get over it.
went to starbucks with shannon tonight. it was a yummy and fun time. we talked about the silliness of relationships. then josh ganzberg showed up and we talked to him but there were lots of awkward silences cause we had never really spoken before... heh. it was cool though. and my peppermint mocha was tasty, as usual.
"so who wants to play russian roulette?"
"haha... me"
"i actually still have some will to live"

crap.
this is more fun anyway. just got back from BIG FISH a half hour ago. it was so good... it was sad and funny and magic. it was wonderful. i'd totally go see it again. and you should go see it. the ending was the BEST.
the worst? danny devito's nudey bum.
saw lotrrotk again last night. went with alle. it was just as good... i cried less. the film ripped though... near the end. it was kinda funny. they got it fixed up within five minutes though, so it was all good.
i want to go out tonight.
i also really want to make a film with the song "Waltz #1" by Elliot Smith. cause its so pretty. and i could make such a pretty movie. too bad i dont have the means to make a movie. oh well. i can just listen to the song and play it over in my mind. i even have actors picked out... heh. but i know they wouldnt do it if i asked them.
ok fine, this was all just an excuse to not work on my paper.

today was cool i guess. i was kinda tired though... up later than i should have been last night. /comment.
tech has been really fun. we made platforms today. it was cool, except that i got a minor piercing by a screw right beneath the kneecap. ow. actually it wasnt too bad... but it bled. i like tech lots. sawdust in my hair!
so who wants to give me money for plane tickets to columbia? my friend alejandro has been trying to talk me into visiting for so long, and im actually starting to consider it. of course it won't actually happen, but alejandro's friend filipe has offered to show me around... to all the best dance clubs... it sounds like fast times and if i had time, means and permission i'd do it. i'd TOTALLY do it.
so about how im dumb. im dumb! i quit.
been reading people's books in creative writing. some of them are super-cool, some are less cool. i totally want to like, be friends with some people just because of their books though. i bet people want to kill me because of mine. i almost want to kill me because of mine, it's probably super-pretentious. and not good.
i have such difficulty expressing myself.

this proves i am busy
i am yet again blogging at school. same class. same place. i actually had to do like two whole things today though... so tragic.
i think i finally got dashboard out of my head. that's a major plus.
i have nothing to say.
tech's good.
music: good will hunting soundtrack. im not crazy about it... although there are so choice tracks, all in all i'm glad im just borrowing it from shannon. stealing cds from shannon all the time=awesome. whee.
ps. i had a weird dream last night. there were lots of boys in it that i knew, but no girls of note. i remember a bathroom at a park, a street fair, and an office building. i am sad i dont really remember it... it was important, i could tell. and i cant remember who that one boy was arrrghghgh!

this is my favorite class
yeah, in computer graphics again. today i did even less that yesterday. and i am listening to the postal service and its yummy. thank you shannon.
school is still dumb, although the past two days have been manageable. but its like, -6 degrees out with the windchill, apparently. and i have to go outside in a few minutes. oh no! OH NO! but i am going to creative writing and i love that class so it's okay. monsieur hayward said that my book was getting nice reviews and that made me really happy because i wasnt that pleased with it. this makes me more happy. im actually rather happy right now. and that's good. also making me happy is the tons of new music i have. i know ive talked about it before but for my own satisfaction im going to compile a nice list of cds ive attained within the past monthish.
the mars volta, josh groban, the cure, elliot smith, and now the postal service (yeah this one is shannon's but im burning a copy for myself tonight).
whee!

snrk
i have my work cut out for me tomorrow with this huck finn thing. oh well, TOTALLY DONT CARE. im actually feeling good about what i have so far. which is nice.
time to sleep. how much i want to sleep.
oh yeah, and--you're being dumb and wasting time. maybe i'll try and call you or something. but im kinda frustrated.
music: elliot smith, "XO" (how good it is)
but considering i'm at school it's probably better to be bored than working. yeah, i'm in computer graphics. and i don't have anything to do... i finished my movie project (and its SO precious... it involves vomit!) so i'm just listening to the mars volta and wasting time.
it's a good feeling.
it's a bad feeling though, being back at school. why does christmas break have to end?!?! WHY?!?! now i'll have to start sleeping regularly and doing homework. i will miss dearly the days of staying up to ungodly hours and drawing all over myself with sharpies and reading books with my feet in a foot bath and eating or not eating whenever i feel like it and and watching movies and going to parties. but mostly i will miss staying up to ungodly hours. oh... and sleeping in. on the plus side it's pretty fun seeing everyone again. and... i really missed... ok well i didn't miss anything really. especially not this whole "responsibility" thing... i have to have a paper on huck finn written by wednesday. it's ridiculous. at least i dont have as much to do as shannon, poor kid.
i cant get over how much school sucks. i want to go home.

how enjoyable it is to listen to this cd.

go on go on just walk away
yay for completely random subject lines. okay, not totally random: i downloaded the cure album "the head on the door" today and that is from a song that's on there called "in between days."
today was weirdish. but cool. i went to bed last night around 8 am. i woke at noon and found myself hardly able to eat. so i had toast. then i worked for a long time on my creative writing project, which i really feel like i'm b.s.ing. but im getting it done. then i played trivial pursuit with my mommy and i won. i ate half a bagel with nothing on it. after that i did some stuff, then had dinner (one piece of toast, an egg. nauseating. cant eat today, its so gross. but im so hungry.) after that, went to kurt's for his party. it was a pretty good time--watched a good football game. and there was a cute puppy. and the general atmosphere was just fun. we even played the cup game, which is THE NEW THING! sort of. marc thinks so. check this out. man thats cool. the original cup video (starring Lauren, Shannon, Cynthia and Kathleen) can be found here but you have to download it. but id really suggest it cause its fun stuff.
and i got two zeros. so ha.
im sure i was going to say something else but i dont know what it is so i'll leave it there.

hey! found it!
this is the missing entry from a while ago, regarding the night of the basement show and middle school all-niter.
last night last night last night
heres what happened.
i spent a lot of time doing my hair to make it look like i didn't do it. same with my clothes. i ended up wearing my awesome^5 my boyfriend's band tank top that sam spraypainted for me (thanks sam its soooo cool!).
then: the basement show at arvind's. showed up a little after 8, things got underway around quarter til maybe. steve/kurt/alex played first. it was their first show ever... they did alright for their first show. then it was... um... state your cause i think. they did fairly well too. i'm not totally into the stuff they play but they play it rather well. after that, scitoto's premiere band featuring adam, andy, arvind, brian and mike, THE NOTHING NEW played. and as usual they rocked. they have a new song! and its fun! and i was excited because im starting to recognize their songs and pick up a few words... but i can never hear adam so that's hard. anyway, they were super cool. after that it was the three day band. they were mighty fine... for being a three day band. after that was supposed to be EFC, carlo and chris and marc, but marc wasn't showing so VOMITXSKULL played their cover of internet girl... so funny. so funny. marc was just not showing up so EFC got the thing underway. they did three songs, the first one was pretty typical but the second and third were fabulous: a song about the strife of growing up in dublin and a song about CRAYONS. they threw crayons at us. sean gave me a crayon tattoo on my arm. it was excellent. well after that darlin' was setting up to play and they looked like they were going to be awesome... but i had to leave. sad. most of the night i was perched on top of a chunk of a green leather sectional in the corner. mariko was up there with me almost the whole time, and shannon was up there some too, and arjun and sam were up there harassing me for a while... i dont like being harassed... and brian stood up there with me a lot too and he kept putting crayons down my back. it was funny. i tried to give him a crayon tattoo but it didnt work and i just hurt him. also funny.
anyway, the reason i had to leave was because i had to go chaperone the middle school allniter at church. dad stopped and wendy's on the way and i ate a cheeseburger, which was awesome but by the time i was at church i felt very sick. i tried to muster the enthusiasm to fight through it but it didn't work so i went and slept for a while. in the chapel. which was a little weird. i just slept in a pew and used my jacket as a blanket. i kinda felt like a hobo, lol. but it was weird waking up in there. weird. it was all dark and... a church... so i got up about an hour and a half after i fell asleep and was very disoriented. i'm always disoriented after a nap but waking up to a dark sanctuary is even worse. so i got up and felt very cold but my stomach was better, so i just followed seth around and watched him hit middle schoolers with this stuffed elephant on a stick. amusing. middle schoolers are so weird... so hyped up on hormones! the main purpose of having chaperones was to make sure the kids werent off making out. and most of the girls were, in seth's term, "hoochies." they all looked older than me with their makeup and straightened hair... plus their clothes. tiny little shortshorts and tank tops. they employed themselves with dancing to hip hop. and the spice girls. which was funky because the spice girls were big when i was their age... or younger, actually. anyway, i started feeling sick again and i couldnt figure out why until seth and jerron went on a coffee run and brought me back a liter of evian (thanks guys!) and i started feeling better while drinking it. i realized i drank nothing at arvind's and no water throughout the whole school day. so i almost killed myself with dehydration! whoo!
at around 3:45 i went home, and i went to sleep. i woke up at around 1 today.
haven't done much today. just watched 24 and ate chipotle.
speaking of:
dear chipotle staff,
i am disappointed at the wrap job of my burrito. not only did you not completely cover it with the foil, the tortilla itself was not wrapped correctly and my burrito basically exploded. thanks a lot.
music: i havent listened to anything in particular today. just stuff. so i'll say today's music is the nothing new and efc and kurt/steve/alex and three day band and vomitxskull and state your cause.
a nice little collage.
music: the mars volta, josh groban. i need to start getting stuff off itunes soon.
sorry i couldn't think of a more clever opening line.
party at arvind's was fun. im glad i invited myself. it was a quite little affair... i was the only white girl there (asians). stella, cynthia, kathleen and shannon were my asian girl friends, and the boys were arvind, steve, kurt and adam. there were some other people that showed up for a while but i didnt know any of them... so... yeah. oh and nick koogler was there too. with cynthia (he came late). i played some pool (lost. lost bad.) and THE CUP GAME! mmm the cup game. too bad the boys had no patience to learn. and they kept calling it asian, even though it's not. we watched the ball drop and ran around outside screaming.
and arvind said i had "baditude."
so i suppose i ought to meditate or at least review my year. this year was no more or less notable than any other. august was, of course, the most eventful month, because it always is. i may need to peruse former blogging to figure out what the heck happened this year. *** ive concluded i can hardly remember anything from this whole year. i mostly remember really really big things. or really recent things.
-Les Mis
-Ben. in general.
-going to the Bahamas
-going to Disney World (i love Disney World. holy CRAP i love it.)
-Cross Country
-Chicago
-Adventure trip
-my birthday party
-being a groupie for the nothing new (or by any other name)
-watching 24 with dad
-mom being sick
-worrying a lot
my lesson learned/being learned from 2003: figure out what actually matters to you. and dont worry so much.
happy new year. let's hope its a good one, without any fear.
