so... just a quick update for those of you i haven't talked to recently... i joined a sorority. i went through the whole rush period, found one i really liked, they liked me back (of course, i mean who doesn't...) and presto, instant sorority girl. in the first day i wittnessed an emotional break down, cattiness, straight up bitchyness, an instance of back stabbing, tears of joy, and a thank you circle just like vocal. don't worry, i remain skeptical of the whole system that is greek life and i haven't put all my eggs in one basket yet... but the truth is "you don't join a sorority to meet your husband, you join to meet your bridesmaids." (o! so precious!), but seriously, I really got to say
I love my ΦΣΣ |

while i realize i should move on from livejournal, i suddenly want to post all the time.
to start off, i'm pretty fucking drunk right now. secondly, i know i said i really love my roommates. i think i spoke to soon... one of them is sssssssooooooooo immature and annoying, and she drags the other one down to her level. ashley is all right, but she is never around. both caroline and nicole are high matinence, ditzy, and, well, i guess the best word is trite. they both went to boarding school, have no real life experiance or world view, and nicole is an annoying bitch from new jersey.
nothing in particular made me come to these conclusions, but being around them all day everyday has just been wearing on me. as classes have been getting underway and i've been going out everynight, i meet new peopleand really like some of them, but honestly, i'm just sick of only having "hey, we got drunk in the same building then ran into each other and told each other we were drunk so now we can pretend we know eachother" relationships with people.
despite my bitching, i really am having an amazing time and i'm meeting a million people that i really do like. i just think this whole living with other people is getting to me. well, i hope everyone else is have an amazing time too. g.night. |

I love GWU.
I love my life.
I love my roommates.
we have the best room in thurston, everyone agrees. we have a 27" flat panel TV mounted on the wall with a swivel mount so we can watch it from anywhere in the room. we have matching bedspreads and curtains. we carpeted the floor, and we have a futon. are room is known all around the dorm as "the pink room."
Caroline (my roomate from St. Louis): Lauren, can i ask you something?
Me: yeah
Caroline: what is your stance on Burberry? is it strictly for fall?
Me: um....
Caroline (pulling out a burberry tote): because i bought this to carry my books in, but i just don't think you can pull it off.
Me: well, you could pull it off but i just wouldn't risk it...
Caroline: your right. thanks, you're a life saver.
i love my roommates... they might not be amongst the more academically inclined here at GWU, but we have been doing some amazing partying.
on that note, Caroline and I got busted in our room with ten other kids our second night. we are idiots, but it is ok because we just had to sit down with facilitator person and discuss what led up to the "issue" and nothing happens to us unless we get caught again. two girls who got busted with us, however, got busted the night before, so they we in actual trouble, but that wasn't enough, so Lauren (one of the girls who had been busted on the first night in her room and the second night in our room) managed to get her self hauled off to the hosiptal on a strecher her third night. college rocks.
so, i haven't really been in to livejournal much over the last year, but suddenly i feel compeled to share. pictures of the fablously amazing room are soon to come.
hope you all are have as much fun as i am. |

so, it has been one whole month sense my last post, but that post was only stating that i was working on a paper... as were the 7 before that. the last post i wrote about something actually happening to me was on Feb. 11th telling everyone i got into GWU. so, i figured it was time to update. seeing as so much has happened sense then, i think i will update through photos. so, we left off just before...
( For those of you who wouldn't appriciate a friends page with 15 pictures in one post... )
So, there have been dull moments and crazy ones. there has been cool stuff, and really pathetically dorky stuff. New friends and old. and to sum it all up, summer is almost here, and i can't wait for school to end, cause this summer is going to be pretty fucking cool. |

Eli's post prompted me to flip on TVW as well. i turned it on just in time to see the closing statements of the attorneys opposing same-sex marriage. let's see if i can sum this up in an open, understanding, non-judgemental manner...
( me rambling more... ) |

| i like staying up. |
[Mar. 7th, 2005|05:03 am] |
it is 5:03 am. i'm goin to go to sleep for two hours because maybe that would be good for me. there is no way can do anymore of this paper tonight. good night.
Edit: So, sleeping for two hours turning into laying in bed for 45 minutes, not falling asleep. and now i'm doing a physics assignment. school kinda sucks sometimes. |

Edit: it is now 6:31 am. i am still up. tomorrow is going to be the worst day ever. my paper isn't done and won't be turned in. i have vocal till 7. then i have to stay up writing again (hopefully not all night again) and then wednsday is dress rehersal day. life sucks. |
|
|
| papers are fun. |
[Feb. 14th, 2005|03:15 am] |
3 am check in, for the 15 page paper due in less than 8 hrs.
we all win at the game of life. and i win at the game of writing, i have the most pages out of all the procrastinators! i think kathy and matt are the only ones who didn't start today.
my meds are gonna keep me up for a while though, maybe all night. so who knows, maybe i will turn it in! |
|
|
| so, it is bad enough... |
[Feb. 14th, 2005|01:30 am] |
k, so it is bad enough i have to write a research paper, but then to have this shit be so depressing too...
Five days after the genocide began, the death toll was estimated at tens of thousands. That morning, a school protected by Belgian soldiers reached a number of 2,000 civilians seeking refuge. That afternoon, the soldiers were ordered to withdraw to the airport and the civilians they abandon were killed.
rwanda sucked. but my paper is going to be so much better and so much more interesting than eli's... |

I need a break so bad it isn't even funny. i'm going to fail this paper so badly....
( following the herd... )
that really was not fulfilling at all. i felt icky the whole time i was procrastinating... i feel icky now. and it wasn't even that much fun and it definatly isn't funny. now i'm mad at myself. |
|
|
| who cares? not lauren? |
[Feb. 13th, 2005|01:47 pm] |
Um, who has 13 single spaced pages of writing for her 15 page research paper due tomorrow? um, Lauren does.
k, technically, it is all just copied down information about Rwanda and is completely plagiarized at the moment.
I should be stressed out, but since GWU accepted me on Friday, I just really do not care... |
|
|
| Too cool for school... |
[Feb. 11th, 2005|11:32 pm] |
So, I could be out partying, but i am home alone. but you see, the reason is because i got into
George Washington University
I'm so happy. so i will be in DC for the next four years, and life will be awesome. i'm so happy. i already said, that but i really am so happy. |

| Rwanda. Cool Paper Topic. Not Such A Cool Genocide. |
[Jan. 27th, 2005|01:54 am] |
|
so, my thesis and intro paragraph for my research paper was due on monday. so it is now wednesday night, well technically thursday morning, and i just started to think about a topic 40 minutes ago. i was originally going for something to do with economics like globaliztation, but then i thought it might get to boring. so i decided i'm going to do it on the Rwandan genocide. as sad as it is, it is really interesting, and in a total of about 15 minutes i have acomplished more than i had on my paper over the last 9 days. so things are looking up. |

i'm at the onions retreat having a ton of fun. things are going well, but i'm tired, i think we all are, but we have 3 more days to go. thats all. really exciting, i know. |
|
|
| does being happy that vocal was cancled today make me a bad person? |
[Jan. 19th, 2005|07:53 pm] |
so, i haven't updated in a while, but i rarely have anything exciting to post, certainly nothing as exciting as an inflamed testicle or body rash like one unnamed indivdual... but o well.
college
All my applications are done. I got in to the Unversity of Montana's Davidison Honors College. so, at least i'm going to college, but i have to hear "no" from 9 other schools before I accept the offer.
health = shitty
as some of you may have noticed at school today, my eye is completely blood shot and diseased looking. there seems to be a little cut on my eye ball and iris and it is really irritating. besides my eye, I'm still sick and I'm up coughing most nights. When i swallow my throat feels like there is a huge lump blocking it up and it is super painful.
Vocal/ winter ball
I found two vocal dresses as well as shoes and a dress for winter ball, all on sale and all in under an hour. i love jessica mcclintock so much. the solo is going ok, but not great. back up - i'm overwhelmed. with ensemble, the onions, and diverse harmony, i'm dying. but i went tanning today for winter ball and ensemble and thatwas really relaxing, even though i may have gotten a little too pink... make that red.
school
fuck school. fuck steve's research paper. fuck everything. but on a positive note - i got all but three of this tri's physics assignments in to Bill over the last two days. yay for me. well, actually shame on me for never doing my work, but o well.
all in all, life is hectic and stressful but mainly pretty boring. things will get more interesting when the fruits of all the labor for vocal and school start to pay off. and hey, i guess i should be excited i got into college, but to be honest, i was more excited that i got to watch 3 1/2 episodes of queer as folk this afternoon than i was about the acceptance letter. maybe my priorities are a little screwed up. |

k, so i filled out the whole "first sentence of first post of month" etc. etc. thing, but decided not to post it for a couple of reasons.
1)i didn't post for five months from april to the end of august
2)two of the seven months in which i did post, began with "way to never post",
3)four of the seven months began with some variation of "i hate my mom",
4)the rest of the sentences were even more boring.
so, i didn't you all a favor and didn't post it at all.
so who emailed out the picture of patrick to our whole class? i mean, i find it pretty funny, but i doubt mindy will like it. |

| i felt the need to share... |
[Jan. 2nd, 2005|11:04 pm] |
few people truly know just how cool eli bailey really is...
Eli in history class.
yes... that is our history teacher.
Eli at a study session.
If that is what eli is like while at school and when studying, i'm sure that you can guess what his free time is like. you can't? well, let me help.
i hope you all enjoy these as much as i do. |

| i have bronchitis |
[Dec. 29th, 2004|10:39 am] |
hack cough cough hack.
i really really hate being in montana. i fucking got bronchitis while standing on the side of the road, for 3 hours, when it was 24* out and snowing, on chirtmas night, because my stupid fucking friend ran his car off the road into a ravine, and when the tow truck came to haul him out (the tow truck which i called for with my AAA card making it free because his broke ass can't afford gas let alone a 600 towing fine), the tow truck guy called the cops because it was considered a wreck, and then the cop almost arrested my friend because he was driving with a suspened lisence, without insurance (which is illegal in montana), he was speeding and that is why he crashed, he tried to pull his car out with my jeep (which is illegal; i learned that from the cop two hours after the fact), he has outstanding warrents for his arrest in oklahoma, and he was being a douche bag to the cop. the cop didn't arrest him because the jails were full that night. the cop couldn't site him for anything that would force him to arrest him or the cop would have been in big trouble for not arresting him even though the jails were full. so he got away with 2 tickets totaling a $1000 bucks.
how do i make these friends? oh, right, he is 23 and can buy beer. wow. i am retarded. |

| fuck college. |
[Dec. 28th, 2004|08:00 pm] |

i have to stay in montana for an extra day because i can't finish all the essay stuff i have to do in one day. it really is a punishment. but o well, at least i will get everything completely done. |

[Dec. 24th, 2004|06:07 pm] |
k, we have all read a million of these, but the sad thing is that with all the other ones maybe three or four of the stereotypes are true for me, while with this one, i think there were only three that i could honestly say weren't true for me. scary. i think i might need to lay off livejournal for a bit.
You Know You're Addicted to LiveJournal When... |
If you can't access the site, you have a minor freak out - and a major case of hitting reload.
You found yourself composing journal entries during dates, movies, even sex!
When you're out, you suddenly think of a witty reply to a comment somebody made to you... several days ago.
You actually call it LJ and not Livejournal. Check.
You've downloaded some sort of LJ program which has only the purpose of making entries easier to write without going on the site manually.
You consider it a great offense if someone deletes you off their friend's list.
The first thing you do every day when you go online is check your friends journals - even before checking your email.
You actually paid money for a few extra pictures with a full account when you could actually just alternate pics when you want to for your screen icons.
When your friends ask what's new, you get mad at them because you already wrote it in your LJ and they didn't check it yet.
You have put more time into LJ than all your assignments for the semester.
You have more friends on LJ than in real life.
You've met at laest 50% of your LJ friends.
You can't seem to call your friends by their real names - only LJ names will do.
You've fallen in love with someone you met on LJ.
You have posted about a party or get together on your LJ... and random strangers showed up.
You are guilty of traveling more than an hour to meet someone with LiveJournal. (Extra points for traveling five hours or more)
You've written a protected entry about one of your LiveJournal friends. (Extra points if they eventually found out about it)
You have written posts to notify people you're going to sleep.
You talk about your LJ friends to your real life friends all the time... like they're a part of your group.
You've created a LJ community, and people actually post in it.
You've been recognized in real live by a fellow LJ'er.
You have friended someone because of their LiveJournal icon.
You have "pity friends" on your list, who you would defriend if you could.
You've pimped one of your friends on journal, trying to get people to friend him / her.
Instead of doing research, you post difficult questions on your LiveJournal.
Your pets all have their own LiveJournals.
You know, right now, how many people have friended you (without peeking).
You've stopped being friends with someone in real life because of something they've said on LJ.
You're guilty of posting sexy or nude pictures to get more people to friend you.
You have consoled yourself after a horrible day thinking "At least this will make a great LJ post"
You're jealous of people who have more friends and / or comments than you.
You have written a really great, solid post - only to be disappointed by the lack of good comments.
You're guilty of commenting excessively to get more traffic to your journal.
You've deleted a post a few minutes (or hours) after you've written it, because it seemed lame in retro spect.
You give shout outs to all your LJ friends on their birthdays.
You have an additional, secret journal that hardly anyone knows about.
You've broken up with someone - or ended a friendship - soley via LiveJournal.
You have gotten mean anonymous comments (bonus points for figuring out who it was via their IP)
You've been reported (or reported someone) to LJ Abuse.
You've been featured on LJ Drama.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are LJ addicts. |

away message from imnotyourwhoR: did gregoire kinda sorta maybish win? uh huh, uh huh.
lauren i only signed on for you, where would you be.
by the way, i love being gay. hip hip hooray.
(i rhymed) somedays, i think to myself, "self, people might consider you strange by what you say online..." and then i realize that i am strange, but not as strange as lauren. so then i go to bed, content with the knowledge of residing in the land of lesser strangedom.
i'm the strange one? |

| o, montana, how i love thee... |
[Dec. 22nd, 2004|09:24 pm] |
i love five days straight of entertaining random family friends, meaning i can't work on the college apps, the three weeks of physics, the intensive vocal practice, the intensive relaxation, the intensive partying, or the intensive reading i needed/wanted to do over break until after christmas, giving me less then four days here to do all that.
i love that the friends i have out here have nothing in common with me except partying. i love partying, but be that as it may, partying in montana is, well, partying in montana. a party consists of either driving around in a car and getting drunk or going to a "res" party (as in the reservation, as in the blackfeet reservation) where you get shot at. i really have been shot at, i'm not kidding at all.
i love that my mom is being an uber bitch because her sabatical is basically over and she is angry because she has to cook and clean all day, but doesn't realize that she is the one who fucking invited all the fucking people to the three different dinners and the two different brunches.
i love how jon, (the guy that moved in with me this summer) can't ever take a fucking hint and is always sticking around. i actually was forced to (after three hours of completely ignoring him while helping my mom cook or while playing with the puppy he brought over but never speaking to him) call eli from the bathroom, have eli call back, and pretend to go from completely sullen and all depressed like around jon, to "giddy" and all smiles while on the phone with eli. i talked about jon like he wasn't there to eli, saying i just wanted to be alone and didn't want to be in montana. jon flicked me off, i giggled, he asked for gas money, i gave it to him, he left. that means he now owes me $515.
i love how the friends that i really like and want to be around are out of town in california and, get this, seattle!, because they are not retarded hics, and their families actually travel.
i really hate montana right now. i have a ton of shit i need to do instead of having fun, so being in montana instead of seattle wasn't all that bad. but now that i will have absolutly no time to do any of that stuff, and i'm still in hic ville... life sucks.
P.S. JER - YOU BETTER FUCKING MEET UP WITH ELI BEFORE I FUCKING GET HOME AND TAKE CARE OF THIS LITTLE SITUATION... i really really appreciate it, and completely realize that you have no obligatoin to do this, but i would really really really really really appriciate it, because otherwise, i'm fucked. thanks! |
