Why is blogging so hard!

2006-06-05T20:31:00.000-07:00

So,I really do want to blog more, but it just seems everytime I come home from work, I end up doing absolutly nothing. I can't get myself to do anything, hopefully all the doing nothing will soon get boring. I am finally getting two days off, so maybe I will do more then. I did manage to do the list that Meagan has on her blog. I beat you by 2 (105) Meagan, yes! It is probably because I own a BSB cd and you don't, which really makes me a better person, don't you think!?
I do have some pretty amazing pictures from Jayme's bachelorette party and some from graduation to put on here, but again, I am pretty lazy right now. The bastards at Costco are taking everything I got.

Jason sent me the most amazing chocolates today. They are like mini works of art. I still can't get myself to eat one. So of course, what do I do? I take about 101 pictures of them. This one is my favorite, even though there are even more fantastic chocolates in the box.

National Holiday

Happy Academy Awards nomination day! I kept with tradition and skipped class today. Although it was more because I have been sick, and I am still slightly under the weather. Also to go with tradition, I now have to plot out my viewing of the nominated movies that I have yet to see. I did pretty well this year, the only movie up for Best Picture that I have not seen is Good Night and Good Luck. Which I am not to excited about. Other than that, I think I should see Memoirs of a Geisha, Transamerica (if it ever comes to KC), and although I wasn't planning on it Pride and Prejudice. I have finally gotten myself off the 3 day straight Sex and the City binge I have been on, and have made it out of the apartment. Very successful day.

I don't know if I am even going to remember how to do this, it has been so long, but hopefully I will make it through this without giving up and closing the page like I did last week. So it is my third day back from LA, and I am starting to get back into the swing of things, I was definitely there for too short of a time, but hopefully I will be able to get back out there next month. Lets work backwards now, let me take you back, let's Tarantino it (someday soon, I will stop quoting Dane Cook, but not today)...So, I got quite the grand tour of LA, Warner Bros. Studios, Walk of Fame, Venice Beach, and the worlds best ice cream sandwich, I wish there were words to describe this cookie experience. It was so good that I would be tempted to spend $200 hundred dollars just to go back and get one of these $1 cookies, no joke. Oh and Jason was there too =) After the two days of the grand tour, I got to watch Jason work on the movie "Circadian Rhythm," with Rachel Minor. Which no matter how much he doesn't believe it, I really did enjoy. All in all, it was not pleasant to come back to good ol' Kansas, and as you can imagine, I was extremely cold while I was out there, but now it doesn't seem as cold here anymore (I know I am crazy about temperature, I can't explain it). So I get back and my world is turned upside down, Laura is now on facebook. I know, I couldn't believe it myself! Not to mention, I really need to change all of my passwords, as much as I love random blogs by random (well not really, I know its Meagan, still) people. Life is starting to get better, thank god Must See TV is back.

Really for her own good

2005-09-16T21:16:00.000-07:00

It's Meagan again. Lauren's in HellAy. I'm thinking there needs to be some sort of rally or petition or something for Lauren to start blogging again. And she isn't allowed to sass that she doesn't have anything to blog about. If she comes back from Hollywood without any pictures and/or stories, then...well I don't know what I'll do then. Sit around? Google some people? Google myself? Ew. Oh, well, it's on her blog.

I am such a follower

2005-08-25T20:43:00.000-07:00

So after the peer pressure in everyone elses blog I have decided to make a 101 list of my own, I basically spent most of my Thursday thinking of this stuff, which means I spent all day thinking about myself. I know the anticipation is killing you, and this will most likely make your week, so here is:

101 Of My Delusions

Back to School, Back to School....

2005-08-18T10:45:00.000-07:00

There is definatly something wrong with the fact that I am 22 and I am picking up a bus to go to school. I have had a busy last few days, well busy in comparison to the days before them, days of my man voice and oh so appealing cough. I am back cleaning my grandparents houses, which all though is quite good money, makes you feel like orphan Annie, they literally make you scrub the floor on your hands and knees. I had to go to Target to fill my fridge, and it totally slipped my mind that every freshman, and their mom (litterally) were going to be there buying Easy Mac, and mounting squares. I tried everything in my power to make sure they all knew I was not a freshman as well, god I am old. On the subject, Natalie and I went to check out the recruitment situation at SAE, which was perverse, we held beverages with the moms, which really makes you feel old. Bummed out on being ancient, and still in college, I came home to a wonderful surprise, Jason had sent me daisies, "aren't they the happiest flower," which made my day. After my daisy high, Natalie and I went over to Liz's for an excellent dinner, and to watch our new guilty pleasure, "So You Think You Can Dance?" I have put a few pictures from the last week at the bottom of this, enjoy!

REM cycle mysteries

2005-08-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

I am not one to have reoccuring dreams, but I do have reoccuring themes. Like the dream I had last night... In many of my dreams I have a child, and of course not a normal child, they are always a strange size or age, depending on the situation. Such as, one night I had a dream that I birthed a 3-year-old child, it basically just walked right out of me, and instead of giving it a name, I was able to ask it what it wanted to be called, in which it replied, Meagan ( I know, perverse). But last night, my child was definitely smaller than normal, and as the dream went on it became smaller and smaller. By the end of the dream it looked like a popsicle stick with a head. Then I lost it in Wal-Mart, but luckily someone found her/him, and we had a long conversation about how we hate the "stick stage." What do these dreams mean? Why can't I have normal running down the street naked dreams? Why?!?

Nutty Nana

2005-08-08T21:40:00.000-07:00

I have come to the conclusion that I need to change my passwords, due to the increase in random blogs from people other than myself. Although they tend to be quite interesting. I was looking at my new glasses today, and I noticed that on the inside of one of the arms, by where the brand name is, it says "Nutty Nana" and besides the fact that it is hilarious and not to mention the name of my band, it's completely random. These last few days have been a complete roller coaster, I have been in a glass case of emotion. Jason left on Sunday morning and I spent the rest of the day sleeping and eating, as one would expect. I did some brillant retail therapy, that included me getting Amelie, the new Dane Cook CD/DVD, Mitch Hedburg, all the Lord of the Rings, 21 Grams, Bruce Almighty, X-Men 2, Gold Diggers, and The Sword and the Stone. Not to mention, again, eating way too much food. I also got to see Lisa's new place, which is really nice, they have enough bathrooms in the joint for 6 people, its crazy.

This is going to be my first attempt at a multi photo blog with out Meagan around to assist me with my code so bear with me. This weekend was pretty eventfully, begin with my first Costco sick day. Although I didn't go with the excuse that Laura and I came up with last week, which was, and I quote "Hi, Costco, I have the consumption, *cough* (implied coughing blood into hanky), click", which as you all can guess is also a song. So instead of work, Laura and I went to see "The Island" with, of course, Ewan McGregor. He as always was gorgeous, both of him. It had the most dramatic product placement I believe I have ever seen. A bunch of us went to the Royals game on Saturday. It was an interesting group, it as Me, Jason, Laura, Ashley, Lisa, Brian, Tyler, Scott, and Julie and her boyfriend Mac. Well Julie and Mac, they only stayed for a while because of a taboo situation. It was pretty much the hottest day in exsistence. We decided to go early to tailgate, and Laura attempted to play "hanky sack" as Ashley called it. She had a slight problem grasping the lob, but her Brian did pretty well for being newbies. We entered that park pretty close to 4 in order to get the correct size t-shirt, this is the point where we left Julie and Mac. We stopped by our seats and then immediatly left to find a place in the shade. We moved spots a few times, since we were definatly not in our sets, Tyler and Scott became too cool to sit with us. By the fourth time we had moved, we ended up sitting with Laura's Jason ( we will now refer to him as LJ) Lisa set her spilling record by spilling cheese on her purse and mustard on her shirt, it was very reminiscent of Vegas. The day also included such events as watching some interesting characters like the hot usher from Bonner Springs, the guy with three nipples, Laura (ha), anyway, somehow we entertained ourselves since we were basically losing most of the game. Lisa, Brian, Tyler, and Scott left in the second inning. LJ continued to make the day interesting by screaming CHARGE at the top of his lungs. At one point he did it while the Royals were batting, he had the whole stadium booing him, it was brillant. We finally left the game at the top of the ninth. After a quick Sonic run, we came back played pool and watched Napoleon Dynamite. All and all a good weekend, there were of course a card full of pictures, am trying to get a few of them on here, but we will see. Now a start another wonderful week of work, and dog sitting. Wish me luck.

"Thank you, have a great day"

2005-07-05T20:39:00.000-07:00

If I could go the rest of my life without saying those words, it would be glorious. Costco is sucking the life out of me! I am starting to think the customer think this my job, job, and it concerns me. I am starting to recognize people there and outside of Costco that I have had in my lines before, and I am like " where do I know you from" and then I realize, oh right from here at this god awful job. And if one more person calls me Ma'am or asks me if I have kids or am I married, I am serious going to reconsider my appearance. Do I look like I could have kids, jeez! Another thing, I don't know what it is but I get more compliments from men of the Asian persuasion, why is that?

Back by popular demand. Well, well, well...so, I am back from Italy. I met some abosolutly fabulous people, got my ear bit, took pictures of bird shit, and stood on the exact spot that Mark Wahlberg did. All in all, a good trip. But now I am back, and have had a great first week, well except for my thrilling time at Costco, where time stands still. Meagan and Natalie had their farewell bash, and a bash it was. Besides a few drunken incidents torwards the beginning, thanks to a glass of absinthe, all went smoothly. The night included three costumes changes for Meagan, a photo shot for Natalie, and an early bed time for Laura. The only thing to wake her up was a mention of IHOP.

I know I am dumb

Hi guys. It's me, Lauren. I haven't blogged in a long time, which is really pissing off Laura and Meagan. Yeah, yeah I was in Italy, but I'm back! There is no excuse for this! Meagan and Laura are going to leave at the end of the summer, and if I don't start blogging...then they are never going to know what is happening between me and Chicken Skin! Aghh!!!

Love, MEAGAN....BUWAHAHHAHA.

It's funny...

an HONESTLY good weekend

2005-05-08T20:21:00.000-07:00

I have been completely neglecting my blog, and its actually quite a shame because a lot of brillant things have been happening lately. Most recently being me and the rest of my pledge class becoming alumnae. Which is just the beginning of all the stuff that is going to be happening the next few weeks, while everyone else graduates and leaves me.
This weekend we followed a very tight schedule. Friday we attended my aunt's birthday party, and then had to wake up at sunrise to drive to Columbia for Laura's graduation. We of course spent our drive reading excerpts from time period confused "I thee bed," a book filled with interesting outfits and neverending elipsces... Laura's graduation was nice, it was like stepping into "Mona Lisa's Smile." There were quite an interesting array of people attending, all the way from Laura's brother Gavin dressed in Gucci and Kenneth Cole, to the tranny, which I think we found out was named Natalie, wearing some sort of frock that wouldn't be acceptable on an actual woman. Then we proceeded to eat way too much and then took a walk downtown, where we ran into some more characters, there was the guy in an entirely red suit and bowler hat and a guy in what could have only been an intel guy suit. We then went to dinner at a really cute Italian restuarant, where Laura's dad introduced us to the game that would carry us through the night. The game consisted of identifying what or who someone looked like in an attempt to use that to remember there name. Needless to say that most of the people we used to play the game we never found out their actual name. To name a few:
Peter Boyle(*hand motion*)
Brian McKenzie ( he better follow through with that blender)
Tara Reid
Schmigal/Lance Armstrong guy
Newsie boy
Fred (from Scooby Doo)
and his Date (who we never really named but must be mentioned)
Captain Dan ( we never figured out if he had legs)
We also entertained ourselves by watching Mr. Heathcock flirt with girls by showing them his light up pen. After returning from "The Berg" we attempted a few things, like building a fort, playing soccer in the quad, and waking up a priest, before we all crashed. Overall, a pretty good weekend. There will be pictures to come, but it is a production to get the large pictures in my computer.

I have never been more confident that no one was going to have my dress at formal, especially since it was from Ann Taylor, not exactly a well know store for formal dresses for younger people. BUT! of course it indeed happened. The event couldn't have read more like a buzz card in "Scene it!" if I tried. There were a lot of other strange events happened this weekend, such as robot words, flying cow torsos, piglets, the bartender giving queer change, forks, nude, and me muttering I want a rich girlfriend.

Well, obviously..

Conversation on the way home from Natalies:

Lauren: There are two things we need to go shopping for...

Meagan: Wait let me guess....well obviously one of them has to be tall socks

Lauren: (confused face) uh, no

Perfect Portrait
Originally uploaded by unilaur.

Last night we (Meagan, Ashley, Natalie, and I) went to our last sorority mixer. (*tear*) Which ended up being a lot more fun than anticipated. The main attraction at the party was Meagan's digital camera, and Jeffrey, the model-magic cow that I made for the Rock Chalk video. He suffered a few casualties during the night including losing two ears and a horn. The party was with Sigma Chi, but honestly we didn't exactly pay attention to any of them, considering they were all about 18 years-old, but since Jeffrey tagged along, who needs 'em. Not to mention, that I think I found my perfect amount of alcohol consumption. Three drinks gets me buzzed without sick or sloppy, and wakes me up not too early but not too late, so that I can actually get stuff done the next day. Which reminds me, Rock Chalk is in 4 days! AHHHHH! Scary, I'm going to go throw up now.

I think I have just encountered the most normally unnormal (if that makes sense) weekend so far this semester. Meaning we actually went out and had fun, maybe too much considering I ate McDonalds and molested a blow up doll. Not to mention it was perverse because I saw my brothers friends out at the bars, and thats just not right. I had to be quickly shocked back into reality the next morning when Meagans parents came to visit, and then we had to deal with Laura's(pamma's) car falling apart, but thank god for Joe at Firestone, we managed to live through it.
So today is Valentine's day and I decided to take the "this is a day of cards, candy and fun" route, and it turned out pretty good, thanks to a few select individuals. Not to mention, a delicous cake and an inevitable viewing of Sex and the City. Let's not forget that there was no rock chalk practice, which was an added bonus.

Not only did I get pulled over for a bullshit reason but I got pulled over my KU cop. I mean come on, its like getting pulled over by the WalMart security guy.

I think the title is all that needs to be said out the weekend, I am not ready for the week ahead. and..
Nothing better then a quiz on Monday morning.
http://hokev.brinkster.net/quiz/default.asp

eXpressive: 6/10
Practical: 3/10
Physical: 1/10
Giver: 8/10

You are a XSIG--Expressive Sentimental Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Teddy Bear.

Hee! I just want to give you a big squeeze. You are tender, honest, generous and fair. You are an excellent kisser and a sensitive, communicative lover, and you know it. You would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings or overstep his/her boundaries. You have beautiful eyes.

Most people take your laid-back attitude, blazing wit and subtle sexiness and stick you in "friend." But some see your extreme hotness for what it is and latch on. This means you have a few members of your target sex in the bank at all times -- I call this "money in the sex bank" -- but you're too sensitive and thoughtful to exploit them. More than once.

You are so rational and deliberate in an argument that it can frustrate and exhaust your partner. Your fights can take forever, but your press on with them until they are completely resolved and both you and your partner are satisfied. If your partner is weak of will, s/he may just give in -- be wary of this! An emotional or passive-aggressive outburst later will hurt and horrify you.

It is *critically important* that you are able to respect your partner. The moment you lose respect for him/her, you lose everything.

When you make friends, you make them for life -- you can go without speaking to a friend for years and pick up right where you left off. You are completely faithful, both physically and emotionally. You are the second best (to XPIG) parent of any type.

I was watching tv this morning, and this commerical came on and flashed "get Blinged". I thought, oh, just another one of the gieko commercials where they advertise some bizaare product like the garden knome cd player, or the tv show about the couple living in the tiny house. Oh, but this one was real, it was a commercial for jewels that you can decorate your phone with and your sunglasses. It wasn't really the product that concerned me, but this ridiculous ad campaign.

I had my first night class of my college career tonight, it was basically as crappy as I anticipated. Why do some teachers feel that they need to read you the sylabus that they handed out. I am pretty sure that if we have the capacity to take a college level course, then we can probably read the sylabus. It is such a waste of time.

Am I an 8 year-old?

2005-01-24T15:30:00.000-08:00

For some reason my TiVo seems to think that I am an 8 year-old boy because it is constantly recording Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Not to mention a whole bunch of stuff from the spanish channel. I am not quite sure what I have watched that lead it to think that I enjoy these things.

So it has been two light years since I have been on this thing! I have been on a roller coaster of events lately. A quick visit to Michigan, Rock Chalk practice, classes, "In Good Company", and a disturbing game of marry, kill and screw including Abe Lincoln. The most alarming part is that not everyone opted to kill Abe(*cough*Mindy).
Academy Award nominations are coming up tomorrow, which would normally mean I don't go to any of my classes(tradition), but this semester I don't have class til 1:30 on T/R, so I will be attending one, but don't worry I will still be up at 6:30 to witness them. Happy Nomination Day to all, and to all a good night!

So, never try and change the template on your blog, because it is an intense disaster. My links were all over the place. Another disaster almost occured tonight...I almost missed The Bachelorette. I caught the second half, which is the best part anyway.
I have another problem, because Medium and The Bachelorette are on at the same time and my TiVo can only tape one of them. What is a girl to do?
I finally finished Garden State the other night, and I was a dream! I would definatly recommend, and unfortunatly I have to agree with Laura on this one, which is something I don't like to do, that the soundtrack was a dream. Wow, my life is dull, I'll be back with something more interesting by the weekend!

Last night Lisa, Amy and I met up with Laura, David, and Gui, and it proved to be a night of laughs through memory lane. Not to mention a good chunk ot time dedicated to embarrasing Laura. We went to WJ McBrides, which was filled with the most interesting aray of people.
After the bar we ventured back to my house and flipped through the good ole year book for a few hours.
I know this picture has nothing to do with what I am writing, but I had to post it. It is too funny not to share with the world.

Well, its been a while but I'm back. It is a lot harder to keep this thing up then a thought. New Years was killer. I haven't danced that much in a long time. Not to mention the first day of the new year was beautiful, nothing better then enchiladas and cheese dip to toast a great new year.
This year is going to be brillant. I am determined to get to Italy this year, take home all of the awards at Rock Chalk, and God help me graduate. I am struggling with a really good resolution, so far I have, lose 10 more pounds, start reading for fun, and find some way to enjoy maybe 2 more vegatables(those last two will be hard).
After watching the biggest loser, I have decided I really want a trainer. Maybe that should be my new years resolution, buff up.
There is a picture from new years that I must scan in when I get back to school, I know it will be enjoyed.

Costco Sucks
Originally uploaded by unilaur.

So yesterday/today rocked. Yesterday was a little better than today, but anyway. . . Today was great because it was my last day of working for like three days, and I found out that I got an A in my life drawing class, which is ridiculous because I missed way too many, but I won't complain.
Yesterday, a guy came through my line and paid me the best compliment I have ever received. He told me that there are some woman that are beautiful just because and I was one of them. What do you say to something like that. Give that this was an short asian 40 year-old man, but still.
Also yesterday,
Laura came over and gave me my xmas present and it was fabulous! and then we wached Napoleon Dynamyte, side note: ridiculously hillarious.
I think that is the end of my good stuff, now to the bad. COSTCO SUCKS! everyone and there mom was shopping today, does anyone in the world plan ahead, JEEZ! I dropped a whole gallon of milk on the floor and it exploded everywhere! It was so embarrasing.
I don't know know why I feel like I have to post a pic everytime I get on this, but I think it makes it look prettier.
I am very ashamed to say that I think Meagan has watched All My Children more than I have so far this break, and if Bianca doesn't get out of her comma soon, I might go into one. But thank goodness I did catch the part where Stewart was in a santa suit.
Hopefully I will have better pictures after xmas because my mom is getting a digital camera, then I will finally be able to post a picture of my new hair color and get the feed back. Alright I am off to bed, Merry Christmas Eve all!

Originally uploaded by unilaur.

I have a new found respect for people who were already completly in love with Johnny Depp, because I have just joined the club. I saw "Finding Neverland" tonight, and I am not usually a cryer, but his one hit me hard. The little Peter(Freddie Highmore) is quite possibly the cutest kid I have ever seen, and I want one. I also just found out that he is Charlie in the new Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp and the Johnny requested that he play the part. How cute!

"Curl up and Dye"

2004-12-17T22:44:00.000-08:00

So, I got my hair cut today, and decided that I needed to dye it as well. When I went to Target they were out of my usual Feria French Roast, so I choose one that was a little darker than usual, and made sure it didn't have any kind of purple in it, especially after my barney incident. After the dye was done, my hair seems to be some kind of blacky brown combination, and I am pretty black and white about it (no pun intended), either I think it is really punky and cool or it is just out of control. I will have a picture soon, so I can get some feed back.

A girl skipped out of the auditorium and as she passed me she jumped up, pumped her arm and said "YES!" Not only in front of me, but everyone else in my class studying for the test. I didn't think outward excitment of this kind exsisted.
