Never thought I'd waste my time on here again.<br /><br />There are a few reasons why people use these:<br />1) to complain<br />2) to stalk<br />3) to communicate with friends<br /><br />1... well I don't have too much to complain about today.<br />2... i don't do that, contrary to popular belief<br />3... i have no friends<br /><br />so, this is a pretty pointless post. enjoying your time wasted reading this post?<br />i thought you would.<br /><br />ALSO... I found this note handwritten and slipped into my bag today:<br /><br />dear lauren,<br />i miss you. why don't you drink too much of me and make out with with random people anymore... i thought we always had a lot of fun together. i'll be in your closet tonight, around 9pm. can't wait for your lips to meet mine.<br />love,<br />alcohol.<br /><br />Since I've been sortof-dating a recovering alcoholic for the past several months, I would not be surprised if alcohol sprouted fingers and actually wrote this and put it in my bag. [Of course that could be the booze talking.]<br />I guess I will just have to wait and see who comes out of the closet at 9pm then.<br />Er... what? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:3782 2007-01-31T10:13:33Z 2007-01-31T10:13:33Z yo. its been a while.<br />so, i looked at my myspace just a few minutes ago, laughed a little, cried a little, but mostly realized how different i really am...<br />i haven't updated or checked that thing for 2 years really.<br />just... some wierd stuff.<br /><br />at any rate, i want to test somethin' out. i want to write a column for the daily and i need to make sure that i can actually write something every week. and i thought ahHA i have a livejournal for this purpose...<br />so for now i will just write whatever comes to my mind about the world, about my life, about genocide... ya know... stuff<br /><br />i have some goals.<br />become more musically inclined.<br />i like music. i listen to a lot of good music. when i am stressed i listen to music. when i am relaxed i listen to music. when i am feelin' funk-ay i listen to music. but, i listened to this chick's radio show last quarter and while i recognized some of the music, i didn't recognize a lot of it. and i wanted badly to know what it was. anyways, i'm not sure if she still has this show this quarter... but i've been consciously missing it. mm so yes, music.<br />stop the genocide in darfur.<br />if i have to slap some paint on my face, toss on some cammo, and haul it to darfur to do so... i will fear extremely for my life but also be glad to be doing something more. thats all really on that. i will type under the assumption that people read this... come to a town hall meeting feb 5 at 7pm in harris. say what you want to say. we want to listen to everyone and this is your chance to help stop this. also come to Drink to Divest [from Darfur]... dang, alliteration... come on... you know you tots want to end genocide. i do.<br />tell this girl shes a fucking godess.<br />mk. i know after the previous snippet, this seems trivial. but ok guys, you know how i am - i don't usually let this stuff effect me. if i want something, fuck i'll go get it myself. none of this "does he like me" or "will she kick me in the dirt and spit on my face" shit. but gah, there is something about this woman. i can't speak to her. i can. but. gah. its ridiculous, i'm ridiculous. she is piercing. i think i really really enjoy piercing people. not people who have piercings. people who pierce. i. am. on. crack. GAH *two claws to the sky*<br />wash my socks.<br />this goes unsaid. i did laundry two nights ago. it took forever. but the end result was quite lovely.<br />double major in school of communication and medill.<br />"you can't do that" mah mah mah. mk, so i will just bust my ass to get into medill classes. i mean - its the most practical double major combo... and in junior year, say "yo. SoC, Medill come together." and all will be well. come on you nu administration guys, all you need is love...<br />sleep.<br />hello. my name is lauren. i have taken the first step of a long 13 step process to become a non-insomniac. as it is now roughly 4am... one can tell that i am certainly just at the 1st step. people have been telling me i look like the living dead. this is cool. this will also not get me roles in many theatre productions. perhaps i should consider film. or find some way to sleep meaningfuly.<br /><br />i have other things to talk about. but all [2 of] you guys get to wait until next week.<br /><br />some good 'ol self plugging...<br />VAGMON. come see it. feb 9, 10 at 8pm and feb 11 at 7 pm. ryan auditorium [tech].<br />and go to v week and such activities. free porn on thursday with a talk back... this is an interesting occurance that will probably not happen again in... your... lifetime. take advantage of it.<br />and of course, Drink to Divest and town hall meetings and other events that will be announced soon... Life rocks, give Darfurians a chance at it.<br /><br />also, i came up with the. best. lead. ever. for an airplane crash story.<br />this lead is as follows:<br />It's raining men... women, and children.<br /><br />memories and goals and all-time lows, oh my. ~ urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:3512 2006-11-07T05:02:30Z 2006-11-07T05:04:08Z i am useless on november 6th urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:3123 2006-11-01T07:40:41Z 2006-11-01T07:41:12Z oh halloween.<br />you are my favourite holiday.<br />but this year, its kindof sad to learn on your favourite holiday that a particular someone has eliminated you from all of their friends lists.<br />they forgot this one though.<br />ha.<br />not that it really makes a difference.<br />especially when they are in the wrong...<br />and I think she knows that.<br />which makes the blockage hurt a little less.<br />in cases like these, it helps to be a slytherin. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:3026 2006-10-14T16:44:01Z 2006-10-14T16:47:03Z it snowed today.<br />i woke up and... my first reaction was<br />Snowwwwwwwwwwwww<br />soon followed by a = um is it not a bit early for this?<br />[it also flurried last night... at which point i ran outside barefoot and sick. sometimes i do really intelligent things]<br />i mean, i am totally all for the stockings knee socks gloves coats etc. most of which i wear on a normal basis... i love cold<br />its just.. i was sort of looking forward to experiencing autumn.<br />california has autumn for about all of 3 days... which clearly must be the reason its called "fall"<br />i wanted to see the leaves turn and hear the satisfying crunch under my feet and breath in the crisp air. perhaps this will still happen.<br />perhaps i have a romanticized idea of autumn - poorly formed from "land of only two seasons"<br />ah well, while i can i will actively pursue the crunchiest leaf to smash beneath my foot. la. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:2652 2006-07-14T08:04:17Z 2006-07-14T08:04:17Z also...

Im only going a little crazy... I've always been looking for a proper conversation starter. Awkward moments, undoubtedly caused by me, can be... that is to say, awkward. And to avoid these moments, one needs a good conversation starter. Today or technically yesterday, I happened upon a fantastic conversation starter, it is as follows...<br /><br />Unassuming denizen: Hey<br />Me: Hello<br />U.D.: How are you?<br />Me: Fine. So whats been happening with you lately?<br />U.D.: Oh you know, same old.. you?<br />Me: I was hit by a car.<br /><br />Yes, shockingly, truthfully..if this opening line does not get your unassuming denizen of choice to pay attention...not much else will. In short...<br />I was hit. by a car. on my bicycle.<br />the incident, as follows...<br /><br />Me: *riding to work*<br />Man in BID GREEN TRUCK [to compensate surely for his penis size]: *making a right turn at a stop sign, looking left, NOT looking right, and not making a complete stop*<br />Me: [all in 2 seconds] *Oh look, rolling stop... I do those... He's not going to stop is he... hmmm...he just hit the gas pedal*<br />M-BGT: *vroom WHACK screetch*<br />ME: [all in 3 seconds..maybe] *airborne, flying across intersection...skid skid skid like a pebble! with an inconclusive plop, still straddling my now sad looking bike*<br />Me: *first thought that comes to mind* Good thing I'm wearing a helmet.<br />Car door clunck<br />M-BGT: Are you ok? *really concerned wondering expression on his face*<br />Me: Um.. im not beleeding im fine. im ok.<br />M-BGT: Are you ok?<br />ME: Did you not just ask this? Thanks for not killing me.. try not to do that again in your lifetime...<br />M-BGT: Um... ok<br /><br />apparently, the words "in shock" mean nothing to this man, he takes this as his cue...<br />and takes off<br />meanwhile, I have now kindof stood up. luckily there was no oncoming traffic [or .. no more lauren]<br />woman comes out of car...and this time asks if..<br /><br />Concerned woman: Are you physically ok?<br />Me in my Head: Physically yes. mentally, that is definitely questionable...<br /><br />Unfortunatly I did not figure out the emotional aspect until about 10 minutes later... after all had left the scene I realized that my bike was broken. as in rear wheel will not rotate and is bent.<br />so. emotionally I was and am furious. I have no contact information...<br /><br />in conclusion. I was hit and big green truck, really small penis man ran.<br /><br />i have to weigh the banes and benefits of this situation.<br />negatives = I have to pay for a new bike. *&%$#$&*@&$# and deal with my numb foot ankle, cuts bruises, and ...hm I just noticed my neck hurts... must have hit the concrete harder than I thought.<br />positives = I really do have the best conversation starter.<br />There are many possibilities...<br />So, the other day when I was hit by a car...<br />Talking about getting hit hard, I was hit by a car...<br />Oh you need a new bike? Me too, ever since I was hit by that car...<br /><br />Not to mention, today was the last day of Peet's Menlo Park before we renovate and open in late August. Nothing like going out with a bang...<br />Neverfear - there will be a Peet's Petite open, same location but in the back. come visit me and do not hit bikers. the end. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:second_window:2132 2006-04-23T23:17:12Z 2006-04-23T23:17:12Z DO NOT OPEN IN FRONT OF PARENTS...5 PPL ACTUALLY GOT KILLED BY NOT SENDING THIS PIECE OF MAIL.THE CREATOR OF THIS MAIL HAS A PROGRAM THAT WILL TRACK DOWN UR ADDRESS.

Its like writing "'Dumbledore!' Slughorn ejaculated." Really now...<br /><br />Also. Could the scenes between Harry and Cedric be any more awkward. Really Cuaron [I think he directed this one] is such a slasher.<br />Harry = Cedric ... there are dragons!<br />Cedric = [Eyeing Harry and throwing back his hair.] I know *wink*<br /><br />Cedric = So... you want to meet me in the prefect's bathroom?<br />Harry = Er.<br />Cedric = You might want to.. take a bath.. you know.. with your egg...<br />Harry = ohhhhh<br />*after an hour of waiting in the prefect's bathroom*<br />Harry = He didn't show.

It starts out: Lauren's Brain = blahblahblah reallly want to go pleeease. &lt;--- telling truth to the nazis. Nazis = ok. fine. Lauren's Brain and Logic [finally agree] = Mwuhaha<br /><br />essentially - this is my myspace blog...but from now on im "blogging" on this livejournal business and "friending" on the myspace [of doom] this was such a momentus experience i decided to start using my livejournal. gasp.<br /><br />so yes...<br />love parade 2005<br /><br />two guys and i get on caltrain and this random "Want to be gangster" man petitioning something starts htiting on dylan...this includes petition-man's patented series of mating rituals, as follows:<br /><br />Pimp slap<br />ho back-hand<br />dog pound [two meanings = an actual dog pound...AND a pound between "dawgs". haha....hahaha...]<br />and...<br />the playa rub [rubbing the fur because you arent quite a pimp yet...]<br /><br />wow...so yeah after much chaos, dylan holding himself and rocking back and forth a few times...and gwill and I dying...we got off the train.<br /><br /><br />so we get to milbrae and go have a bite at peter's [and dylan leaves his phone there..way to go...] anyways. <br />we finally get on bart. with mike and charlie and Michael [from st. francis..i think]. these random guys followed us on...and i was leaning over on the damn train and if that one short guy didnt stop ogling my [lack of] breasts i would have kicked his ass, then walked off with the playa rub. [pretty much sketch guy]anyhow ... i settled for ---&gt; hair in front of chest + death glare. [anyways that was my own personal vinette.]<br /><br />onto the love parade. <br />we get there.<br />its crazy.<br />people dancing amazingly..and then thougsnds of people just dancing. and in the middle of the civic center square...we went first...including some incriminating activites<br /><br />then we met cat, matt, and friend...then i dont know where they went because next i can remeber we walked about 10 blocks to Moudges moms office or something- twas awesome...wow. thats all i can say. [continued with the mischeiviousness] then went back to love parade with entire...clan..<br /><br />unfortunately...nazis called and i had to come home at 630..so i got home at 900 because of fucking public trasportation...anyways<br /><br />rebecca and i got seperated from everyone else...and decided to spontaneously go dancing..and it was all fun..until two random guys started dancing with us...and..even that was..ok..until they got a little more up close and personal and we realized they had a pair of raging hard ons.<br />Laurens brain = FUCK.ewewewew wow guys..thats a little sketch... and by little...yeah. i mean little. but still sketch...<br />Lauren's logic [and aparently Rebecca's at the same time] = dont we have to be somewhere? haha<br /><br />and then we went to bart and i went home. and was raped by pubic trasportation. the end.<br /><br />there was an entire other saga between rebecca and i on the way back to the love parade...but. that goes unsaid.<br /><br />all - in - all it was a good day: i was allowed out of the house. i should have met up with my sb and millbrae friends there though..would have been more fun - plus, i havent seen you guys..in about 6 months. mer<br /><br />so yes...livejournal is now in usage. damn kendra for deleting her myspace...<br />and<br />love parade 2006...i expect you all to come...<br />berlin?
