I wish I could just backspace the last 3 weeks, 1 day, 7 hours and 10 minutes.

And no, I am not repeating that.

::My new Favorite Thing::

Ok, so, I'm going to New York for my birthday, and my dad has all of these brochures for shops and stuff. And I happen to flip to this page advertising this new musical "13". Out of curiosity, I wikipedia-ed it, and lo and behold, it's SOOOOOO ah-mazing.



I recommend checking out their youtube page.
And the awesome part is: it's not cliched or Disney Channel-esque at all.
They're just 13 teenagers [first ever broadway cast made completely of teenagers] from 13- 17 [the actor who plays Brett is 17... meh] who are rocking the world. And I love Alice [she plays Clarice]!!!

I wish that I could see this when I go... I'll just have to hope and hope.
Heck, I wish I could've been casted. It looks that cool.

::YET ANOTHER magical textbook::

I feel so bad for almost forgetting poor Xavier... he's been sitting here for a couple of weeks

Xavier, the World History Texbook: is perennially perky. He can always find the bright side of the most dismal crap that comes along. He also has a knack for winning/ settling arguments as a peer mediator, so he settles most of the textbooks' disputes. He loves to travel, even though he never leaves my room. He'd like everyone to be positive and to study up your history!

Today is Jon Heder's Birthday!!!

Above: Fred Faces a Dirty Campaign.

Okay, you all know how I like Fred's stuff. And I LOVE how he says everyone needs to sing and dance sometimes to let it out.
I know you guys prolly think I'm trying not to think about homecoming which is tonight. If you are, you're right. Never fear, I'll update ya afterwards.

today is Chuck Berry and Zac Efron's birthday.
Also, today, King Louis XIV [the 14th] revoked against the Edict of Nantes. [sorry, I'm learning about that in school]

::Homecoming Countdown Revamped::

Ack... It's almost here!!!! [I added an extra 30 minutes to it]

Today is Eminem's birthday. And tomorrow, ugh, is Zac Efron's.

::Pajama Day::

Wootness... Today was Pajama day @ school.
You know, like a part of Homecoming Spirit Week. I wore Jeans to school, u know, just in case no one else decided to dress up. But I was reassured, so I changed into pajama pants.
Today was your average day otherwise.
I drew Henry VIII [that's the 8th for those of you who aren't fluent in Roman Numerals] yesterday, and in my own opinion, he looks pretty bad. He's supposed to be a fat old man, as people pointed out, but I portrayed him apparently as a smexy man in his 20s. o.O Not sure where that came from.
I am also all done with my mystery w00t! Oh, right, my mystery is about people in my homeroom and it's kind of a whodunit. It's a surprise twist, i guess...
Sorry i had temporarily not blogged. There hasn't been a lot of cool birthdays or things in my life. I went homecoming dress shopping yesterday so now that's covered.

Today is Marie Osmond and Ashanti's birthday.

::Sorry for my absence of blog::

I am sorry that there has been no blog for the last 2 days. There were no birthdays I was inclined to share (besides John Lennon's yesterday) and my life is sorta trudging on. If you can see my homecoming countdown of doom, then you'll see it's almost a week till then... ahh. I'm going dress shopping this weekend *sarcastic woo*, which'll be loads of fun *sarcasm*.

::Today's birthdays for now::

Today is Taylor Hicks and Simon Cowell's Birthday.

::Something I Bet you Didn't Know about me::

Wooooooo. Today was another day. Another 'Fun Monday'. Fun Monday is the best example of an oxymoron I've ever heard. Wooo.
I need to find a good quote for my quote of the week.

So, about my title- I think I found something very little people [an exception is ppl who have been to my house... more specifically my room] know about me. You may think it's weird, but at this point I think it's downright cool... Alright, I'm a Beanie Babie Fetish.
I have so many I can't count them. My parents started my collection when I was super little. No, my beanie babies did not sit on the shelf and collect dust when I was like 5. I played with them every day. And I regret it now that I am mostly a collector, but I removed the swing tags back then, which knocks off value if i were to sell them. I remember those days. I used to have soooo much fun with them. I even have a mint Patty the Platypus, which is one of the original 8 from 1993.
My collection is mostly confined to dogs though. All of the ones above my bed are dogs. I really do need to count them, but my Dad guesstimated about 70 so.
Ok, sorry for wasting ur time. Just thought I'd share w/ ya.

Today is Universal Children's Day.
Embrace your inner child. (this totes fits my Beanie Babies theme)

::Last Words::

people say some of the best stuff when they're about to die. No joke. I mean, it's kind of sad thinking that they died directly after they said this... but it's so amazing to see how they bid us goodbye.

Some famous last words:
"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." --Pancho Villa
"Goodbye. I am leaving because I am bored."--George Saunders
"I'm afraid I'm being such a nuisance." --Edith Sitwell
"Now comes the mystery." --Henry Ward Beecher
"Goodnight." --Lord Byron
"Friends, applaud. The comedy is over." --Ludwig von Beethoven
"Go away. I'm alright." --H.G. Wells

::Another Day::

Soooo... Another day. woo.
Homecoming is in 2 weeks... *sigh*
Not like I'm looking forward to that at all. I hated school dances last year... something tells me it might be a knotch up from last year... but still dreadful.

And I'm attempting to write another story. It's pretty crappy, if you ask me, but still...

::Lots of Birthdays::

Nothing much to blog about today... sorry for wasting your time.
Except for one fact: I did not get in the play. I am a lights and sound person... oh boy! Am I cursed or something? I am going to be pretty mad if I don't get into Alice because then I will have nothing to do for a longer amount of time.
I'm in a semi-decent writing mood. Maybe Invisabel will benefit a bit?

::Lip-Synchin' on the bus::

Wow... I actually did it.
After 20 consecutive posts, I broke the chain.
I feel so devious... oooooh. *stealthy music plays in background*

^ Pay no attention to that... hehe. Anyways, not much [that i feel like blogging about] is happening lately. I managed to not make it into everything I tried out for last month, so I'm super hoping that the school play cast results turn out in my favor. I'm not expecting anything major, but at least hoping that maybe, just maybe, I might to get to be a tree like fred. Or a moving tree, AKA- a chorusperson in a play. Don't think I'm being mean, and I don't believe that every part matters: I'm normally the chorusperson. But think about it, in musicals, chorus people get to sing and dance and stuff, but let's face it- if you don't have any lines in a play, isn't it kind of like being a moving, semi-emotional tree?

Here's what I enjoy doing on the bus to occupy my time: listen to my iPod, like most people. But I add a special flavor to it- I lip synch. You know, I'd disrupt the peace if I sang out loud, and it would be a repeat of middle school bus rides with Patrick and Trevor. So, I lip-synch it with a lot of emotion and occasional dance moves. I bet the people on my bus think I'm crazy. Frankly, I think most people think I'm crazy. But I'm decently okay with that. It actually looks pretty cool when you have the music. But I bet the peoples in the back of the bus are like, "Oh, there's that crazy weird Lip-synching girl. Stay away from her..."

I have to admit that I'm liking High school a lot better than middle school, mainly since i have some pretty decent friends who care. I'm still having my awkward nerd moments where a certain someone excludes me from everything and everybody, but I guess it all pays off. *sigh*

::I didn't make it to all-county, My friend scared the crap out of me, but now I'm better::

today is Hillary Duff's birthday.

::One Person Karaoke Party, Are you revived?, and the Burger Queens::

One Person Karaoke Party-
So, today, I got UBERR bored after my auditions for all-county, [they pretty much sucked, ok?] and I had nothing better to do, I decided to go tubing for Karaoke vids. [I'm sorry, I deleted the explanation for 'tubing'. Tubing means that I am searching/ randomly surfing for videos on youtube, in all of my contexts. If someone asks you to go tubing, it's most likely the type with the inflatable tube and the rapids, FYI.] I sang a variety of tunes from No One- Alicia Keys to On My Own- Les Miserables. OX, my uglydoll, thinks I was really good.
Are you Revived?-
Today was the revival at our church. Bri and I are in the choir. we sang 6 songs. Then, my dad took Bri and I home.
The Burger Queens-
But not really home. He had to feed me dinner, so we went to Burger King. And Bri ate there too. My gosh, we messed up so many of their crowns [Bri, my siblings, and I]. We laughed and joked about stuff of which I cannot remember because my memory is failing me. When it comes back, I'll post it up. It was still really fun. And now, my voice is sore from my karaoke party and the revival and singing in the car.

Today is Avril Lavigne and Cosimo de Medici's birthday!!!

::My friend, Noah::

Haha, you prolly thought that I wouldn't post in a while, didn't ya?
Well, while I will EVENTUALLY stop posting every day, I do have something semi-interesting to say. I finally decided to open my graphing calculator and take it to school. Then, I realized: What's the fun of having a calculator or any kind of device and not naming it? So, I debated names [on the magical baby names site- http://www.babynames.com/index.php] and I decided that I'd name him Noah, because that is a cool name.
I guess I'll do a Noah biography.

Noah, the graphing calculator: is a very smart inademate object. He knows many a thing that even the primitive humans that operate him don't. Noah is almost always right if he's in a good mood. Noah is tired of being perfect though. He longs to be freed from his smartness, and meet other calculators who share his love of the quadratic formula and classical music. But why would they talk to him? Noah is very shy, so he does not stand out very well. But can Noah break free?

today, in 1957, West Side Story opened on Broadway.

::blah::

Wow... maybe, I should stop posting daily and only when I have something interesting to say. It's not like any1 actually reads/ likes this. And how much do u want to listen to me rant about nothing? I'm not that great at blogging anyways.

Since I'm already posting, I might as well describe my day to whomever cares... or myself. Today was picture day... we got ID cards and mine looked decent. Waaaay better than last year. Last year, I had my eyes partially closed. That was not cool. Otherwise, that's it.

If you actually read this thing, tell me. It would be super cool. thanks. You may not hear from me in a while. *goes and sits in corner with laptop*

::Extreme Dog Walking::

I bet you're all amazed at my magicalness... "WOW!!! Lauren's posting REALLY early." Well... be surprised because i'm that amazing.

Okay, so today, when I came home from school, I needed to walk my dog. Then, I saw that Ariel was also out with her dog, so we let the dogs play. Then, she mentioned she was going to Evan's house to bother his dogs. Evan and I have never been friends, so I decided to join her. It is a pretty long distance by walking [2 minutes by car] and Leo stopped EVERYWHERE to sniff and mark territory. and Evan has really big dogs. I was home a half an hour later.
ANTM is on tonight!!! WOOO

Yeah, I was tubing again... yay me... and I found this. I know it's not halloween, but I'm sure SOMEBODY's [david...] looking for costumes/ costume parts. I LitLOLed [Literally Laughed Out Loud] at this. Hope you enjoy.

TODAY IS FISH AMNESTY DAY!!!! DID YOU SPARE A FISH AND EAT CHICKEN?

::Untitled School Project::

So, today in school, we were given 4 prompts. I loved this so much i'm prolly going to do most of them. ATM, i'm doing the prompt that states: 3rd person omniscient: Describe a breakup that one person wasn't expecting. So, I made a story that sort of parallels Legally Blonde in a way... ONLY NOT!!! Don't worry, it's totes different. Summary made short: Angie= break-up, Shawn= proposal.

Excerpt time:
The phone rang at Angie's house on a Friday afternoon, stopping her mid-sentence in the brand new book she had been buried in all afternoon. She got up and checked Caller ID. Shawn. She should've suspected it, too. Didn't Shawn know that this was the only time she got to read due to her busy work schedule?
Shawn decided to call Angie, the love of his life, that friday afternoon. He knew she'd be annoyed with him, but he had something he wanted to ask her, and he felt it couldn't wait.
When Angie picked up the phone, Shawn felt his heart explode with excitement. Angie answered in a bored, but beautiful voice.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi, Angie. It's me, Shawn."
"I know. I have Caller ID." Angie stated bluntly.
"Sorry to interrupt you, Sweetie, but I was dying to see you. It's been a while." He said happily.
"You saw me yesterday." Angie said, putting the phone on speaker and going back to her book.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT....
TODAY WAS HOBBIT DAY AND ELEPHANT APPRECIATION DAY!!!! Did you appreciate an elephant? Did you give a huzzah to the Hobbits?

::TODAY IS BILL MURRAY'S AND H.G. WELLS' BIRTHDAY!!!::

Now that I am done with the random fact of the day, I might as well talk about my day. There's not much to say: I worked on my Poe project, I went to the mall with mom [different than a mall adventure: WAAAAAY different] and then went to choir. It may seem like I have worked an awful lot on this project, which I have, but really, I just take breaks. And choir was cool since everyone was there. Still not much to stay. I also ate Thai food with mom afterwards choir. w00t! Have a nice evening, everyone. Make sure you check out my totes cool links!

::Taylor, David, and Lauren's Mall Adventure 2: Mission Mall-possible::

Now comes the blog we all [or just I] have been waiting for Lauren to write:
*drum roll of happiness and glee*
After the ever-popular ::Taylor, David, and Lauren's Mall Adventure:: blog a week ago, Taylor, David and Lauren decided to out do themselves and go to the mall again. Only this time, they went to a larger mall, which meant more possibilities and more fun times to be had. And a surprise mystery guest that shocked the masses. Read Lauren's account of this epic adventure in which the all partake: the mystery, the friendship and the downright stupid things they all decide to do.

• Sorry if that intro creeped you out.
• First off, my dad wanted to go to a local event beforehand, so i agreed to that. Lo and Behold, I happen to see my other BFF, Bri. I asked if she had any plans, and she didn't, so my dad agreed to take her to the mall too. In that moment in time, she became our official guest star.
• Then, my dad picked up Tay. He turned on the radio and we [or I... umm yeah] did interpretive dances/ lip syncs of popular songs such as My Heart Will Go On.
• We then saw David waiting for us by Sears. Only we were on the top floor and he was on the bottom floor. Taylor and I went down the escalator. But as we were going down, David came up. We then walked up the stairs and hugged David. This reminded me of a time where I had accidentally gotten on a down escalator and had been climbing up. And i wasn't going anywhere. I was all like "Why aren't I going anywhere?" and then I realized that I was on the wrong escalator. I felt REALLY smart.
• Then, we gave David his "David/ Star Wars Bag of Super Coolness". It had a super duper special surprise inside= A gray-ish striped Fedora [<--- hat]!!! He loved it muchly.
• Then, we started our mall adventure. We wandered aimlessly around for a couple minutes and then we went into Forever 21 to look for a part of David's Joker costume. [we came to the mall with a mission... to find pieces of david's costume and have fun too] But then, we proceeded in finding the ugliest outfits for eachother. Only this time with a twist. I picked out Bri's outfit, Bri picked out Tay's outfit, Tay picked out my outfit, and we all collaborated to make David's outfit. We all conveniently managed to pick out the same ugly skirt for eachother [not David]. It was like this awful heap of quilt squares that didn't match. And each of us got 2 really busy layers [shirts]. For David, it was pretty amusing. We gave him a Old Geezer/ Bowling Shirt covered in dice, a random jacket, and swishy guy pants. Surprisingly, he looked the best out of any of us. We continued to compliment eachother on how great we looked and how others would be jealous. David wanted to go back and buy the jacket.
• We found the mall's halloween store then. It was very interesting. They were playing that song that everyone dances to [if David or Tay or Bri could correct me, that would be awesome], so i randomly broke out dancing. Taylor started dancing with me. And then, I found this cashier dressed as Scooby Doo. Just 4 kicks, I asked him to pose with me and I acted like I was 6 years old. And he posed with me!!! That was pretty cool.
• Then, we set off for Hot Topic, otherwise known as 'The Place with No Air and People Scream at You'. Note: I have nothing against Hot Topic, it's just not my favorite place to be. This is where we found David's socks and shirt for his Joker costume. Bri also found some magical suspenders. I actually felt a bit naseous in that place, but i quickly recovered.
• We wandered around for a bit. And then we found out that there's a Hannah Montana build-a-bear. Who would want one of those? I hit the cardboard cut out.
• We were looking for a place for David to try on... i mean to find heels for Tay, but David refused to wear heels again. We decided to find an even compromise and we made him wear big sunglasses, funny white hat, and pout for the camera. I would have that picture if David would send it... I only have half of the pics atm.
• We pretended we were a couple with david and we dragged him along and said a little too loudly that we needed to shop for furniture for our new house. The attendants looked at us weirdly like we were nuts. Which we are, or at least i am.
• Bri liked this random passerby's t-shirt so I asked him where he got it. He said Forever 21. We headed over there. We decided to pretend to be stalking David in the place.
• We were on a mission and we were in the zone. That is, me and Taylor, because Bri walked around and pretended she didn't know us. We were artfully ducking, hiding behind pants legs, etc. We probably looked really weird. And people were staring at us. Oh, BTW, that passerby was pulling our leg. They didn't have the t-shirt we liked there.
• We walked around until i saw a glimmering beam of light. A tree!!!!!!! I hugged it. a LOT of people were staring. Taylor hugged it too. And then, I realized it was plastic, which made me feel stupid. I yelled at the tree and accused it of being a liar.
• We then went by Macy's and we decided to have a 1.. 2.. 3.. RANDOM MACY'S PHOTOSHOOT!!! We posed with the manikins with David and our photographer. We imitated their poses and blank stares to a par.
• I totes forgot the Aveda War Stripes... Hehe... Well, I was putting all this random carp on my face and then i had this soapy goop on my finger. The container would not tell me what it was for, so i gave myself those stripes that football players or indians wear. I then walked around and lotsa peoples were staring at me. And my face felt "rejuvenated". I like that stuff.
• We all bid our ways and Taylor and Bri and I rode home to music with cliched lyrics, bad metaphors, and queens who danced.

::Invisabel::

So, I've been writing a story lately about a girl who becomes invisible when she is angry, sad, or annoyed. I felt like posting a paragraph. Enjoy:


I began to feel the anger rushing to my head and the electric jolt tickle up my back. It was a so familiar feeling, I barely noticed it happening until I saw my hand vanish and Dr. Parry start the stopwatch. What I was more concerned about were the things Dr. Parry had said to me. I was nothing like my mother. I wasn't a disappointment. Sure, most adults thought I was because of my average grades and my occasional lack of homework, but if you get to know me well, like Dr. Parry, you know I am truly smart. Gifted in fact. It also happens that one of my gifts is unexplainable, and requires attention. That's why I needed an anecdote: a control to my so-called gift.

::Teh Magical Post of Nothing Special::

Today, nothing very interesting happened. Other than the fact that my codename on the school website is Aquamarine Capybara!!! w00t.
kk, so you probably want an explanation for that random outburst of Coneybear pride. You see at my school, we have this uber webpage that is the marvelous groupfusion. We can sign in on the site via our student number. And then, it automatically knows our name and classes and other stuff. and we also get to pick a code name!!! [for the message boards. to remain anonymous] When I saw Capybara, I immediately picked it. You see, in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, one of Leaf's words is Capybara, which he's referring to in 'I'm not that Smart' when he talks about how acouchis are alike to capybaras. anyhoo, i picked aquamarine because it is a cool color. There are not many capybaras at OP, lol.

Otherwise, my day was a very genial, vanilla kind of day.

::YAY!!! Another magical textbook::

So, today, I got a BRAND NEW TEXTBOOK to keep for the year. It's for spanish. I'm going to write her description below. She'll be added to the other post later.

Arabela, the spanish texbook: is a spanish beauty who is loved and adored in her country of Spain. There are many dashing suitors who desire her hand in marriage, but she does not love any one of them. She hopes to find someone who shares her love of reading and singing. Her father is not pleased with her refusal to marry any of the suitors, so he ships her off to America. She is new to the country and very confused. Can she find someone who understands her for who she is? Or was her trip to America pointless?

I'm also gonna combine this post to tell you some funny things... Or weird things that i think are funny. Take ur pick.

First Day of School:
Old Student: She's nice and cool. you'll like her.
Homeroom teacher: No, I'm scary and mean. Like an ogre!
Random Student: You mean like Shrek?
Homeroom teacher: No the mean and scary type, not the fuzzy, dreamworks type.

Today:
*Complete Silence. Everyone has finished their quiz. Or so we think*
Random Kid [same from above]: YESSSSS!!!! YES! YES! YES! [<--- that scared me to death]

::One Semester of Spanish Love Song and its Sequel::

ABOVE: One Semester of Spanish Love Song- Runawaybox

Ok, so there is this cramazizing video on youtube called the One Semester of Spanish Love Song. It is about a guy named mike who serenades a girl using his newfound spanish skills. It is the funniest if you're taking spanish in school.

And don't miss its sequel: The 2nd Semester of Spanish Love Song

::The Ketchup Bottle and The Last Night::

Ok, so today, I stayed after school to pick out dialogue for forensics club.
You're prolly thinking: 'What the...? I thought Forensics was like CSI and junk... Lauren likes CSI?'
If you were thinking that, then you are wrong. Although, Forensics is the study of sciences related to the Legal System, they do not have that sort of club at my school. Forensics at my school is Speech and Debate... I happen to be interested in speech. It's like a drama club [which i am still clueless if we even have one, or if it's exempted to the class] only you are only working on an individual or partner basis. So it's totes cool.
And it's completely cool if you didn't know that above. Everyone learns something everyday. Like today, I learned that there is a difference between skizophrenia and multiple personalities.
Anyways, back to Forensics Club. It was just the three of us after school: the teacher, Katie [my school/ choir buddy] and me. Katie and I were thinking of working in a pair or amongst ourselves. So the teacher started with Dramatic Duo [Forensics category] script snippets. The one we like the best is called The Ketchup Bottle by Tony Morinelli. It's about 2 friends who one constantly is picking on the other for stupid things they do [like picking off the label off a ketchup bottle... lol]. I'm the one that's not complaining and picks the label off. Excerptness time:

1. Do you have to do that?
2. Do what? [<--- Me]
1. What you're doing
2. What am I doing?
1. That!
2. What's that?
1. That! Do you have to scrape the label off of the ketchup bottle?
2. Why?
1. Because it's annoying that's why
2. It's just a label
1. That's not the point. It's annoying.
2. What's annoying about it?
1. Your fingers. And the way you stare!
2. Whadda you mean?
1. Your eyes glaze over like you're on drugs or something.
2. You're nuts, you know that?
[and much more...]

So, today when I came home from school, I saw this story my sister wrote and illustrated on the island. She wasn't home, so I read it. It's a real tear-jerker. [<--- sarcasm FYI] I think it may be based on a true story. It's about this girl named Lexi who plays soccer for 6 years. "Her age is seven."<-- Direct quote. I think the six years are after age 7, but it's hard to tell. Anyways, the story is Lexi's journey throughout soccer. At first, she didn't want to join, but after the 1st year, she loved it. And all of her friends were on her team. Life was good until next year: her friends were on different teams. And her ignorant parents bought her a football. But next year, her friends were all on the same team, and "she was very very very happy."
I mean you can't ask much from a 7 year old. I was just happy that this one has something of a plot. But what I really don't get is the title: The Last Night. Nothing happens during the night... the story has nothing to do with night. It's kinda weird. Actually my paragraph above is longer than the whole story...o.O.

::Taylor, David, and Lauren's Mall Adventure::

ABOVE: David's marvelous high heels [with black socks lol]. Aren't they sooo prettiful?

Ok, so me and my friends went to a mall and acted crazy. Which is expected because we act crazy no matter where. So we can be crazy where ever we want to. But mostly the Mall and Applebee's, the Animal Club's hang out. Many a story come from that place.
Anyways, back to the mall adventure... as much as i enjoy getting off topic...
We went to the mall at 6:00. Whee for details... I was SUPPOSED to print off the Smart Guide to Having Fun at the Mall, and we were gonna do ALL of the things on there, but i forgot, being my loserrific, sucky memory self, lol. We did manage to do a lot of crazy stuff. Here's a list of all the amazing stuff we did.

• We skipped in Target... how awesome is that?
• I found this huge purple ball and I threw it at David. Then, David threw it back. That declared Magical Purple Ball War. He darted throughout the aisles.
• We went to the halloween section and tried on/ admired various parts of costumes.
• We found Diva Puppies. Diva Puppies are amazing bobbleheads that you can paint and create outfits for them. We need to get together and do it some time.
• We went to the guys' hats section [for David] and modeled most of the hats. David asked my opinion on them, and I cracked up at every hat. Sorry, David!
• We went to American Eagle and picked out the worst shirts in there [David and Tay: Pink button downs... Me: Yellow button down] We all accessorized our button downs with shirts underneath of colors that clashed so badly someone should have called the fashion police. Taylor and I both noticed that ours were a little...how do i say this- lowcut, in the nicest way to put it. David laughed. we took a marvelous picture. And decided that it would be terribly unkind to purchase these fashions because we would make everyone else jealous.
• We went to The Shoe Dept. and tried on heels [yes, even david tried on a pair] lol. That made my day. Taylor and I were his attendants and we tied his shoes prettifully. Then, he proceeded [after taking the shoes off] to make us try on the shoes he thought were the ugliest and prettiest.
• We then went to Bath and Body Works. Being the spontaneous person i am, I decided to make myself smell like every scent the place carried. Right now, I have like 14 scents on each arm. And FYI, the pumpkin scent is DISGUSTING. never try it.
• Then, Tay and I went to eat. Of course, we dragged David along. We ate at Chick fil-A and David ate our fries.
• We told David we would meet up with him at Aeropostale when he went to the bathroom. We then took the opportunity to pratice our preppiest acts. We had totes no idea where aeropostale was so we found a map like thing. It was very interesting. We found out we had gone the wrong way. And then we saw TREES. Trees are so nice and friendly and down-right huggable. I glomped the tree. And then Taylor did too. And then we waved goodbye to the tree [what? we're crazy teens. Can't a crazy teen hug a tree without someone staring at them?]. Then, we saw David walk into Aeropostale, looking confused because we weren't there. Then we sneak- attacked him.
• That was about it because we ran out of time... we also peeked in american eagle again.

TA DA!!! that was our fabulous mall adventure.

::The Marvelous Lives and Times of my 2008-2009 Textbooks::

So, is anyone else in this planet crazy enough to name their textbooks? No? Well, I guess I'm alone.
Yeah, that's right, I named my textbooks. ATM [at the moment], I have 4 textbooks-my darling Phillipe, the English textbook; my fantastic Waldo, the geometry textbook; my daredevil Moe, the biology textbook; and my lovely Arabella, the spanish textbook. They all have interests and personalities, like people ONLY NOT!!![<--- tour joke. will explain eventually] Here is a description of their lives:
Phillipe, the english textbook: is a very artsy fellow. He has a very obtuse figure, having over 1147 documented pages. Phillipe is not concerned about his weight though. He enjoys lounging about the house reading pieces from The Oddysey to The Scarlet Ibis. He also enjoys long walks and Earl Grey tea. His cover is also very artsy, with a yellow background and blue bubbles/ swirls on it.

Waldo, the math textbook: is your all-around, goody-goody american teen. He is very young and chipper, and is active in sports. His favorite sport is baseball. He also has a knack for math, and tutors needy children when not playing baseball. He is also an eagle scout. He is the type of person you will see helping an old lady across the street. He wishes someday to find a woman who shares his love of pina coladas and getting caught in the rain [since he is sturdy]. Waldo likes to stick to the basics and wear his favorite color red.

Moe, the biology textbook: is a geezer trucker [i know marvelous image, right?]. He likes to break the rules and live life to the extreme despite his age. He is rough around the edges and isn't particularly good looking. He isn't very healthy, but that doesn't stop him from living life to the extreme. Both Waldo and Phillipe think Moe is insane and needs to consider his health. They think he should get a more elderly hobby such as knitting or wooden ducks. [FYI, my grandpa's hobby is to collect wooden ducks. They are all in the den of my grandparent's house. You can also carve them as a hobby] Moe thinks this is stupid and continues doing what he likes. He enjoys wearing his fire book cover, despite his peeking underbelly and the looks he gets from others. rock on!

Arabela, the spanish texbook: is a spanish beauty who is loved and adored in her country of Spain. There are many dashing suitors who desire her hand in marriage, but she does not love any one of them. She hopes to find someone who shares her love of reading and singing. Her father is not pleased with her refusal to marry any of the suitors, so he ships her off to America. She is new to the country and very confused. Can she find someone who understands her for who she is? Or was her trip to America pointless?

Xavier, the World History Texbook: is perennially perky. He can always find the bright side of the most dismal crap that comes along. He also has a knack for winning/ settling arguments as a peer mediator, so he settles most of the textbooks' disputes. He loves to travel, even though he never leaves my room. He'd like everyone to be positive and to study up your history!

::Hello World!!!!::

I have finally been inspired of what to say.
Hi, I'm Lauren. I live in a house and I go to school in a town. I am X years old. I have a mom and a dad and I have one or more sibling(s). I have a pet of some sort (rock or living thing? You decide. Trees do make very nice pets.) I wear clothing and carry a bag. I have the most amazing friends from my theatre group. They rock my world, my life, my socks off, and any other way you'd like to say it. Keeping it simple, they're the best.
I enjoy composing music and am currently in the midst of writing the book and music for 2 musicals of my own- I Hate Homework and Narcissistic. Both of them I think suck, but my friends think they rock. And I think almost all of my work is bad, so it must be good. My friends aren't the lying type.
I also am a poetic soul occasionally and am inspired by stupid little things like trips to target or something someone says. Some of my greatest poetic works are titled- Time Flies When You're Having Fun, My Name is George, and Why Did I Fall in Love?. Ask me about them sometime.
Anyways, I can be a very nice, fun person when the weather permits (not the weather outside, loser.) But otherwise, I'm pretty loser-riffic when u come down to it. I hope you didn't waste to much time reading about me, and find something better to do than read my profile.
Have a nice morning/day/ evening!
This concludes the random rantings.
THE END!
