And she was...GLAD ABOUT IT! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

We listened to that song in the car, on JACK FM, COOLEST RADIO STATION EVER!
I love my preppy 80's music.
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!
"And She Was" by Talking Heads: who DOESN'T love that song?
It's totally on "Sky High".
My mom and I had to go to the stupid hospital (me to get a new glasses perscription, her to get a new cast). It took flipping FOREVER. The eye exam was fast, tho. I think I might've lied about dilation. I've never had my pupils dilated. But she didn't seem to care. I WANT MY NEW GLASSES. Seeing as we haven't even ordered them, this will be hard.
I DO NOT WANT BIFOCALS.
I would keep this frames, but it might not work out.
*sob*
I just started saying (seriously, I actually VOCALIZE this) "Omgeez". And "____ should be" or "they should make _____ more accessible to the public". Just insert any random thing and I will probably say that. I still think there should be Hot Pocket stands on every street corner.
Omgeez. We got "Episode III" to watch tonight.
LAME!
I WANT A BARBIE MOVIE!
I'M BEHIND THREE MOVIES!
WHAT KIND OF PERSON AM I?
*sigh*
I haven't soaped in a while.
I DON'T CARE, NYAAAAH I SHALL BITE YOUR FACE OFF.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh the weather outside is...
FRIGHTFUL!
It's actually not.
It snowed again this morning, so we MISSED SCHOOL (my dad still had to go and is staying with my grandparents it's so bad up there), but I think it will be all melted by tomorrow.
*SOB*
I'VE ALMOST BEATEN "DINER DASH 2". In...LESS THAN 2 DAYS!
Actually, 3 days, cuz I downloaded it and beat like 15 levels before the demo ran out.
then I forked over $10 bucks, so did William, and Dad bought it for us.
Sweeeeeet...
I just read what I'm pretty sure is Meg Cabot's latest book.
NOT IMPRESSED.
It was lame and, I realized, just like all her books.
Really hot dark haired guy likes main character, but she's too stupid to see him FOR WHO HE REALLY IS. *SOB*
Yeaaaaaaaah riiiiiight...
It actually doesn't happen like that. EVER.
But when it doesn't happen like I expect it, I'm kind of disappointed.
LIKE THAT BOOK ABOUT THE GUY WHO LIKED HIS BEST FRIEND AND SHE WENT OUT WITH THE TENNIS PLAYER AND I CRIED!
But in "Dairy Queen" (I finished the BOT today) D.J. and Brian didn't go out and it was satisfactory.
D. J. Schwenk RULES.

OMG NO WAY!!!!!

IT'S SNOWING! IT SNOWED! IT ACTUALLY SNOWED AND IS SNOWING! Well, it's more raining right now. BUT WHO CARES???
And...I GOT THE NEW BRIO!!!!!!!
MY LIFE RULES!
I want to name the Brio goat.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH FREAKY NIGHTMARE.
It was freaky. And when I woke up, I thought the murderers were gonna get my toes. Which was weird, cuz they were all in high school.
Gasp.
And that one guy's name was CADEN. Weeeird. He was pretty hot, tho.
And there was cake and i didn't want any chicken, I just wanted cake, so I angered one of the teachers. whatever.
I HAVE DAIRY QUEEN ON BOOK ON TAPE. YESSSSSSS!

My name is Lauren...and I...am a Time-Waster.

IT'S ALL SINDY'S FAULT!
I swear, I went to my aunt Sindy's house for Thanksgiving for the first time, um, EVER, and she introduced me to "Diner Dash 2". So it's HER fault I am addicted to it. It's also her fault I'm downloading it for free onto my computer.
It's so much FUN, tho.
So I actually did enjoy Thanksgiving more than I should have. Altho, while it was fun, it will never be my favorite holiday.
Tom: Lauren is sitting here by the dessert...WAITING.
Lachlan: Bye-bye, Laughnin. (I guess that could sound like Lauren to a 2-year-old, but still)
Braeden: I LOVE TEEN TITANS! (YESS, ANOTHER ROBIN LOVER!)
Brooke: No. No. No. No. No. No. No. (etc.)
Uncle Don: Well, HEY there. I see that the Huskies are doing good, REAL good. (That's my great uncle for you)
Grandma and Mom: *glare at me for eating all the mozzerella* (my bad)
Mom: Would you like my turkey?
Me: It has cranberry sauce on it.
Yeah. Good times...

SHOCKING SECRETS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN!

See if anyone is grabbed by that title. I'm thinking not.
I actually like Hannah Montana now.
And I totally beat that "Jamming with Hannah game" in less than a day. Well, technically.
I REALLY hate Narnia. It's so dumb. I can't beat "Battle of Beruna". It's kicking my butt. Ouch.
I wish I had a cupful more spontanaeity. I think I spelled that wrong. It would make my life so much more interesting. Tho there was that time I stayed over at my grandparent's without a change of clothes or anything to watch "High School Musical" and had to sleep in my grandpa's mummy bag and nearly suffocated.
Poke the lion looking cat. Eh? Oh sorry.
No soap all week, I guess. Maybe tomorrow if I get bored. But tomorrow's Thanksgiving and I really hate Thanksgiving.
WEIRD. I was really blunt about my Christianity and didn't offend somebody! In fact, she thinks she offended me. Huh. That's a first.
Awww, Gordon Dean needs a hug. *gets pecked*

Random person: Martha and Mary. Ooh, that sounds romantic. Me: Yeah...sure...whatever...

WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE AND MARY MAGDELENE? Besides the fact that she was allegedly Jesus' wife (oh, by the way, those allegations? TOTAL CRAP!!!). BUT COME ON! When girls are asked who their "favorite" spiritual Bible woman was, they either say RUTH, cuz she was romantic (Oooh, yeah, wheat, that is SOOOO sexy right there.), or Mary. WHY MARY? They act like she was the COOLEST PERSON IN THE BIBLE. THE BEST SPIRITUAL EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US. YEAH RIGHT. What about Deborah? What about Peter? What about PAUL, for crying out loud? Noooo, Mary is the rockingest Bible chick.
Whatever.
But what REALLY, REALLY ticks me off is that her sister MARTHA is ALWAYS played off as a crappy, non-spiritual Martha Stewart while Mary is pretty much worshiped (hello, Leo da Vinci?). Okay, not worshiped, but it's always like, "Don't be like Martha, cuz she's dumb." Um, yeah right. I read John 11 over the summer about Lazarus. HELLO? Martha comes up to Jesus: John 11:21: "Lord," Martha said to Jesus. "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Why is that suddenly played off as a bad thing? Maybe it's cuz I take things LITERALLY and am probably too STUPID and NOT INTELLECTUAL for y'all. But I see that as she comes to Jesus, she's flipping SAD about her brother, he just DIED, and she says, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Sure, I guess you could say that shows disappointment, but doesn't that also show trust? Belief that Jesus really is the Son of God and could stop even death? And then she says, "I believe that you are Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world." Prattling off the right answer...or maybe she really believes that?
Ooooh, here comes the best part. When Mary sees Jesus, she says the SAME THING AS MARTHA. "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Huh. So it's okay to slam MARTHA for that, but not MARY. Cuz MARY'S too perfect for all of us.
If all of you that actually read this sad excuse for a web page are suddenly all, "Huh? Wth?" sorry, it's just that this has REALLY BEEN BOTHERING ME and it has bothered me for a while, but it kind of peaked when we went over that chapter in youth group.
I still love half days. Even though I wasted away about half my day on the TV. No Narnia for me. Dang.
I am apparently unable to feel empathy for anyone else. I wonder if there's a word that means that... There probably is, I just can't think of it. If it's "unempathetic", I will kill myself. And I know sympathy is different from empathy, but I'm having a hard time with BOTH. Hmmm, searching, searching, searching... AAAH, here we go: aloof (I guess?), cool (not in some meanings of the word), uncaring (sure), unfriendly (not unless I'm in a really bad mood and you yell at me or something. Then I will assuredly kill you/kick your butt).
Apoof. That should be a word. Apoof.

PENGUINS

Okay, wth? I read the "Happy Feet" review last night...and there was a "spoiler warning". Read it again today to see why my dad thought it was so horrible...and there was no sw? Ooookaaaay...just something about humans being bad, I guess. But that was the theme of that one penguin movie..."Flipper" or "Tucker" or something. And it was just against human trappers and stuff.
I would play "Narnia" but everyone wants to watch football. Laaaame. I want to try to beat "Beaver Dam", but noooo... Hello. I actually no what to DO now. Jerks. *looks for cheats online* Suckers...
We found my mom a temporary wheelchair. EVERYTHING is chrome in the future!
Best radio station ever: Jack FM. Gotta love it.

L is for LOOOOOOSER...

I just reread my "Deep Thought" post. THAT WASN'T DEEP. I just wanted to get it out cuz, yeah, it was kind of bothering, but that WAS NOT DEEP AT ALL!!!! Grrrrrr I hate myself sometimes. I take myself too seriously all the time. I still like poetry tho. i'm pretty sure it's next to impossible for me to be "deep."
OMG I LOVE HALF DAYZ!!!!!!!!!!!
We got out at 10:30 FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS! 10:30 EVERYBODY! Oh yeah, that's A.M.
WEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Aaagh I love dodgeball, but I'm SO BAD AT IT. Although, I did hit one guy in the head. Sorry. But I have like no aim, so i didn't think it would hit him at all, BUT IT DID. And then Dylan was walking RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND I MISSED. Yet I love the sport and no one cares that I suck cuz they're busy making fun of the guys that can't throw to save their life. I'M NOT A GUY, SUCKA!!!!!!
SWEET, it says that in Happy Feet, Nicole Kidman AND Hugh Jackman are in it. Only Hugh Jackman is a penguin. I am totally gonna go see it just for those two. Actually, I don't even like Hugh Jackman, cuz he's not that good an actor, but I love Nicole Kidman. She is pretty much my favorite actor ever, besides Denzel Washington, and she totally replaced Samuel L. Jackson, who lost it after saying "M-----f-----" like 20 times during "Snakes on a Plane". Which, of course, I haven't seen.
HAHAHAHA HAYDEN CHRISTIANSEN WAS GIVEN ONE OF THE LEADS IN "FACTORY GIRL". OOOOH I CAN'T WAIT! of course, it'll probably be R so I won't get to make fun of him. Dang. Mary-Kate Olsen, my favorite crazed stalker, has a minor role. Hardy-har-har. Hmmm, I know that name. Jimmy Fallon is in it? HAYDEN CAN'T ACT HAYDEN CAN'T ACT EVER! MWAHAHA I laugh at your silly Jedi face.
Nathan and William started playing Narnia again last night, so I'm gonna start over now that I FINALLY know how to beat the ogres. Thanks for your help, suckers. NOT.
Jerks.
Soap = not going well. CAN'T THINK UP CONFRONTATION SCENE GRRRR.

Deep Thought: The Super Computer

Wow. What a shock. So Nathan kind of messed up my mind when he told me some of the people I knew were gay. And I know I shouldn't care about this, and I don't, because I'm about accepting the person, not the lifestyle, but it still came as a shock. Not really because they were gay, but because I couldn't pick it up. Cuz gay people are always stereotyped (like guys...long story) on TV and sometimes, I don't know, I feel like I should be able to pick this up. Kind of like on the office when they have the "Gaydar" and stuff.
I don't want this to affect me in a bad way, so like I'm apprehensive around these people when I'm around them next, and I know God wants me to love them and stuff, and I do. And I'm glad these people aren't all in your face about it and don't, I don't know, DO STUFF that would kind of turn me off, but it makes me sad that although I like these people and enjoy their company, I'm against some of what they stand for, and it's sad to know they, well, to be REALLY BLUNT, are going to hell, but as much as I want to say something, it's like, they're happy, AND MY BRAIN IS SO MESSED UP RIGHT NOW!
So yeah.
Dang, that was pretty deep. Even tho I had the crappiest grammar for like half of it.
*gasp*
I'm becoming a poet. CRAP.
I know I didn't soap today, but tomorrow's a half day so I could probably do two maybe? Unless my mom's home (which of course she will be), so I won't be able to write for a long time. I mean, it sometimes takes me like 2+ hours per eppy cuz I fool around and stall and all that.
I didn't have to go to piano cuz the power was out. Which was kind of cool and I totally needed it, seeing as with everything else going on I wouldn't have liked it. Weee.

POP goes the bracket!

I got my bottom braces on today. *audience clapping* I got to skip periods 4-6 and study hall. *more clapping* I popped off my first bracket today. *clapping slowly stops* Okay, maybe I shouldn't have been chewing pretzels. I mean, I was hungry, but that's no excuse. And the dentist won't even put it back on until WEDNESDAY! As in NEXT WEDNESDAY! LAAAAME.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH I HATE THESE BRACES THEY STINK!
It's been an interesting week.
My mom broke her ankle.
I have broken braces.
I'm making a powerpoint about randomness and cows.
Gragh...

YOU MUST WHIP IT!

I haven't posted for a week for one reason and one reason only: The Movies.
I swear, that is THE funnest game ever.
Actually, I'm getting a little tired of it now, so maybe it's time to take a break.
So I guess that means I have to start the soap again.
Grrr.
I guess I'm glad we got a day off, but my day didn't exactly go too well today.
Crowd: Awwwww...
Yeah, sure.
Fact: Prayer really does work.
MOVIE NIGHT!
I swear, why do people go to these things if all they're going to do is hang out in the next room listening to ringtones and crap? I guess that's kind of not really a big deal, but it BOTHERS ME.
But we watched "What About Bob?" and "Remember the Titans". First time for me seeing both. WAB was really funny, actually. Best line in the whole movie: "Oh my gosh, it's Gil. He's been sitting around in there for about 8 hours and he's about to SCREAM." Or something like that. But he was talking about the fish and I started cracking up and everyone was like, "Wth, are you high?" and I'm all, "How can you not find that funny?" But that's just me. I also cracked up when I heard John Cryer sing "Whip it".
And, even though all my friends are going to kill me....
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
Its not too late
To whip it
Whip it good (or "whip it well", if you're John Cryer...)

TGIF

Thank GOD it's Friday.
We had Distinguished Readers again today. Pretty sweet. We had a bunch of popcorn and talked about Princess Diaries. Well, I did.
I'm going to TRY to get my soap out this evening. I've got writer's block. AGAIN.
Writing stinks.

Get off my island before I blow my head off...

Okay, take a deep breath, count to ten, calm down-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
I. Am. Ticked.
Dad's sister (my aunt Something-Or-Other, but I wouldn't really KNOW her name, now WOULD I?) is offering us four round trip tickets to anywhere we wanna go. Well, not anywhere. She wants us to come to South Carolina to be with the family. My DAD'S family. For THANKSGIVING or CHRISTMAS.
NO THANK YOU!
Sure, I love to travel. I like planes and who doesn't like complimentary Starbursts?
But it's CHRISTMAS we're talking about for crying out LOUD!!!!!!
Okay, Christmas, is my FAVORITE holiday, and it might sound corny and really Miss America of me (WORLD PEACE, Y'ALL! I do still want some leather pants...brown ones, nice and creaky), but I love Christmas and it's a holiday I like to spend here. In Washington. With friends and family.
BUT NO.
Screw Thanksgiving. My parents are thinking we'll most likely go during Christmas.
And they won't let me stay home.
WHY? There are FOUR tickets, not FIVE. You wouldn't have to spend MONEY if you let ME stay home where there are people I actually KNOW AND LIKE. And it's not like there's anything to do in South Carolina.
WHAT ABOUT THANKSGIVING? I hate Thanksgiving. Besides the fact that we have a 4 day weekend, it's a stupid holiday and I don't even like turkey. But my mom says it's only a 4 day weekend, so we'd have a short trip. HELLO? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? When have we EVER gone on a vacation that was longer than 2 days?
PLUS, I know NOBODY in Dad's family. I know my grandparents and we've been there one other time and I met all these weirdo cousins and crap, but I don't KNOW anybody there. I probably don't even LIKE anybody there.
I guess it's kind of hard for my Dad seeing as all his family lives on the East Coast and he doesn't see them or even talk to them all that much, and my mom sees her family all the time since they all live in Washington and Oregon.
But I don't feel that sympathetic.
Wow a whole flipping essay of hateful venting.
At least I'm not like Cole on "Sixth Sense". "KILL THEM DANGIT KILL THEM ALL BLOOD BLOOD SHUT UP I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!"
Eh.
Please pray for me.

P.S. WRITING BLOCK NO LONGER, NEW SOAP EPISODE TOMORROW!!!
...if anyone cares...

BEST MATLOCK EPISODE EVER

AAAAAAAAAAH THEY PLAYED THE COOLEST MATLOCK EPISODE EVER TODAY! I swear, it was called "The Thoroughbred". And they bring a HORSE into the COURT ROOM. NIFTY!
Nathan and William are watching "A Mighty Wind" and it's not that funny.
Weee...
They upped the grading scale in PE. I am so screwed.

AAAAGH...Red Baby...

I know it's Mr. Faxon's first year at our school, but he could at least open the band room door. I waited outside for like 10 minutes in 30 degree weather. My FROSTBITE had frostbite. By the time I got to science, my fingers were all black and they called me "Emo Fingers".
Grr...
Then, at PE we had to go to the portables and I got locked outside. Again. With the guy I happen to be stalking. NOT EVEN MY FAULT.
But it turned out to be a nice day.
Nice.
Funny word.
I DON'T WANT TO WRITE MY SOAP!
It's boring.
And I don't want to dance to Paul Oakenfold.
Eh.
I got caught in science looking up the Green party yesterday. No, I'm not considering voting for something that stands for anarchy. But I thought I was going to get in trouble...and Mr. Anderson told me to go for it. Wow. I am so lucky. I'm thinking if it had been any other party, I would not be alive.
