Wow. So I haven't written an entry since March 20th. I figured it was time. Not that I have anything to write about anyway so i'll probably just do some survey at the end because i'm bored and too lazy to write anything constructive. I was just up north with Brian for a week. We were 15 months on the 5th. He goes to school in about a week but hopefully i'll still see him every weekend and then next year i'm going to join him at MSU where we'll get an apartment together.

I gained six pounds on vacation. I'm fully prepared to run miles a day again and eat hardly anything. I was enjoying it before I left. It will only be a matter of time before I am small again. Not that I am overly large; I don't hate the way I look. It could just be better.

I go back to school myself in a couple weeks. I'm sort of looking forward to it because i've been a bit bored this summer but I am taking math which i've always been horrible at. Oh well. So, now a survey.

i've had 1 cup of raisin bran, 1 slimfast shake and 1 Luna bar today, along with some fish at dinner and i feel wonderful. my pedometer is my new best friend. i walked/ran 10,738 steps and i'm mad at myself that it wasnt 11,000. tomorrow will be 12,000 steps. and i will be 139 pounds by sunday. only four pounds to lose. i wish i was only in the double digits again.

so, i got in my first accident today. it wasn't as bad as i pictured my first accident would be. the road was busy and crazy and someone stopped suddenly, the guy in front of me stopped suddenly and i did not have time to brake. the hood of my car got fucked up but that was all, so my dad pounded it down until i'm able to get it fixed. hah. it looks like shit but whatever. the guy i hit was really cool about it. he was maybe like, 24. he was kind of cute too. luckily there wasn't one scratch on his brand new truck, i would have felt terrible if i fucked his car up too. brian was with me when it happened which i'm so thankful for because i started crying and hyperventilating and he went and talked to the guy for me and really helped calm me down. i was a huge mess, i cried for like an hour and couldn't breathe and he just held me and wiped away my tears telling me everything was going to be okay. i cherish him more than anything and i love him more than anyone i've ever loved before. we were 8 months on the 5th, too.

anyway, i started school again today. world religons monday and wednesday, abnormal psychology and sociology tuesday and thursday then composition II every friday. and i might have a job babysitting two older kids every day after school 3-7 just driving them to various dance and piano classes and such. they live like 4 minutes from my house so that would be a perfect job for me. full time in the summer too. lots of money for lauren. =)

so, i was tagged by lisa.

Name 5 of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. being wrapped in brian's arms in the dark under a blanket in complete silence.
2. little children's clothing. it's cute.
3. my dog, olivia.
4. driving. it's my alone time.
5. hostess chocolate cupcakes with the cream filling and gummi bears.

i'm feeling kind of sad at the moment. i don't know why. there would be no point in me explaining how i feel anyway because no one reads this fucking thing anyway. i should delete this.

Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as you're fingers touch your skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no you know it will always just be, me

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

so, my christmas was good. i got some pretty jewlery from brian and lots of gift cards from family. i'm going to enjoy shopping. i hope everyone had a good holiday as well. i'm looking for a more full-time job now that i know my winter semester schedule. it sucks. i'm the kind of person that waits for others to call me. haha. like that will ever happen. oh well.

welcome back

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 04:27:07 GMT

i have missed you. i'm reverting back to old ways and it thrills me. no hydrodgenated oils or excessive amounts of sugar for lauren. lots of exercise, low calorie intake, it all excites me. i'm happy to have that control back. i've already lost 4 pounds and it's only the beginning. it's a horrible thing, but i wish i were anorexic again. it was wonderful, yet, at the same time, it was destructive. 84 lbs at my lowest, i will remember that day forever when i weighed in at the nutrionist and they told me i was supposed to be gaining weight, not losing it. i crave those days. i crave the looks the doctors used to give me when i walked in the room. and now, 3 years later, i am 60 lbs heavier because of various medications and it pains me. i will be at least 25 lbs lighter when the time comes around for brian to take me to prom. it will be fabulous. i will look gorgeous once again. i can't wait.

Tue, 13 Dec 2005 19:04:10 GMT

well, i'm done with my tuesday classes. 2 tomorrow then one more monday and i'm free from school for almost a month. i'm extremely excited. i'll get to spend lots of quality time with brian =). it's almost christmas! i'm looking forward to xmas, i like holidays. i have most of my xmas shopping done, too, so it's pretty stress-free this year. i hit a tree turning into my drive way today. haha. that was fun. luckily i was only going like 5 mph so it didnt do anything except chip some paint. no big deal. i dyed my hair last night, i think it looks pretty effing sweet. i'm off to work now..woo

Wed, 19 Oct 2005 04:13:50 GMT

i have joined the rest of the world and gotten a myspace. im still not sure how everything works so just put in my e-mail address (stars_in_a_shoebox@hotmail.com) and add me, i need friends..haha

Fri, 07 Oct 2005 03:10:01 GMT

meanwhile I hide my head
here in this paper bag
cause if I cant see you
then you can't see me
and it'll be okay
fly little bee away
to where theres no more rain
and I can be me

yeah they talk about her
she smiles like shes so tough
she says
"hey can you talk a little louder,
I don't think my heart is broken enough"

but someday we'll all be old
and I'll be so damn beautiful

last night was fuckin awesome. fall out boy show with panic! at the disco, the starting line, boys night out, and motion city soundtrack. it was brian, my sister, her friend and although we were on the balcony we could see them fine and we had a lot of fun anyway. ahh. but i overslept my alarm and missed my morning class. whoops. and i might have to work today at 3. boo. i'm tired. oh well, it's money.

Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:52:12 GMT

i just got back from my psychology class and I have my english class in about 45 minutes so this has to be quick. i am really enjoying college so far and my classes aren't bad at all. the workload is a lot less than i thought but maybe that's just because it's the beginning. i have a job babysitting a 3 year old boy a couple days a week. he was so shy when i met him yesterday and after his dad left he got really outgoing. i got an e-mail from his mom saying sean really liked me and is still talking about me. awww. hehe. that made me happy.

you know what i miss? i miss being able to write poetry. it seems i could only write poetry when i was sad before and since i'm hardly ever sad anymore it seems like i have nothing to write about anymore because happy poetry is so much harder to write. oh well. sigh. maybe i'll find it in me later, hopefully.

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 20:49:04 GMT

well, miss julianna says i need to update more so i suppose i could..

i've started classes at a community college around here and so far i am liking it a lot. i'm taking two psychology classes, a humanities class and an english class. i've decided that i'd like to be a child psychologist again, that was my first choice for a long time until i started working at an elementary school and decided to be a teacher, but that has since passed and i am back to wanting to be a child psychologist.

brian and i are still together and i love him a lot, we were four months on the 5th. that doesn't sound like a long time but we have grown so close and we have a connection that most people can't get in four months, but for us it's natural. he's only a senior so he had to go back to school and it's hard not seeing him as much as we were seeing each other before. but when we do get to see each other it's that much more special.

i have a babysitting job now babysitting a 3 and a half year old boy named Shaun a couple times a week and he is incredibley adorable and i am looking forward to starting on Monday. right now everything just seems right in my life and i couldn't be happier. i was stressing out a lot about signing up for school and finding a job but now that it's all come together everything just seems perfect and i am very content right now with what i have.

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 01:03:28 GMT

ohh dear. it's so strange not having to get ready to go back to school tomorrow. my boyfriend is only going to be a senior so he has to go back tomorrow and i'm already lonely. sure, i'll probably still see him everyday or every other day but still, i've grown so attatched to him and i am so in love with him that it feels like he's going away forever. i don't know what i will do when he goes off to college. granted he's not leaving the state, it will still be tough. all of my friends have gone off to school and i'm stuck here. of course it was my choice and i'm sure if i had applied myself more i could be off at some university right now too. oh well. i have a feeling everything will come into place sooner or later. it's just a matter of time.

combust and feel better

Sat, 16 Jul 2005 05:13:46 GMT

sigh. i'm feeling quite miserable at the moment. i've spent the last couple days crying and i'm having a mental breakdown. brian and i like to joke about how we'll get married in 7 years and be a nice little family with a couple children and it's all nice and fun and last night he sent me a couple text messages saying he's young and he can't promise that this will work out. i got upset and mad at myself for letting me get caught up in this relationship and tonight i cried and cried and thought about whether i had made a big mistake breaking up with jason. everyone said i had more of a future with him. oh well. it's too late now. i want to move away and leave everything/everyone behind.
i got a babysitting job with a family with a 5 year old son named TJ. he was born with this rare metabolic disorder and went into a coma at the age of 3 days old and has since had a liver transplant and is delayed in his speech and motor skills by a couple years but other than that he's a normal boy. he's cute and loving and happy. i met them for the first time today and he gave me a hug and just did laps around the house laughing. it was adorable. i think it will be good for me.
i keep spacing out and i feel paralyzed. i don't feel like speaking, moving. i don't feel like doing anything.

afternoon delight

Wed, 22 Jun 2005 04:04:03 GMT

oh it's been forever. since the last time i updated i graduated and got another boyfriend. I've been with him for over a month now officially although i've known him for ages. i'm proud of my relationship with jason though, it lasted over a year and i'm thankful i got to spend the time that i did with him because i grew a lot and i've grown into myself and have become more aware of who i am. brian has been absolutely amazing and he makes me feel like a princess.

that is my man Brian; isn't he so handsome? hehe..

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 03:00:34 GMT

so i am offically a high school graduate now. how exciting. the senior all night party was a lot of fun. it was cool being able to spend time with tom and jon and lisa. i've come to the conclusion that i am awesome at blackjack. =) i am going to miss jon so so so much when he goes away to school. i love jon so much. and dana is off to the army. i'm afraid i'm going to see his name on the news some day. that frightens me and worries me. so much is going to change in the coming months but i think i'm okay with that. change is good sometimes.

Sometimes you've got to learn to let go

No one here is really brave
(They always think so small)
I know there's something out there more for me
This town just makes me hate the sky
(It's always gray outside)
And all I wanted was to pass you by

Why does my life just fall apart?
When I listen to my heart
You know I can't leave you behind
Just keep those memories in your mind

You know there's nothing left to prove
(And even if I could)
You know there's nothing I can do
This time I've got to walk away
(I don't belong here)
You know I'll think about it everyday

Why does my life just fall apart?
When I listen to my heart
You know I can't leave you behind
Just keep those memories in your mind

Sometimes you've got to learn to let go

'sarcastic farewell' - bleed the dream

there's something you should know. something that pains me to say. i'm sorry. i'm sorry for failing us and giving up. i tried, i really did. i admit, things are changing. we've come so far, accomplished so much. i just need to find myself. i've lost myself in this battle against right and wrong. Should i eat or not eat? Should i throw up this bit of food i just had or let it sit, just this one time? the sad thing about it is i've missed it. i've missed the control i had and the superiority i felt i had over those who 'had' to eat. i love observing everyone else at lunch eat and eat while i sit with my water, feeling so proud of myself for not giving in. i've been told i already look thinner. hah. a whole 3 pounds. hooray. i can't wait to be 100 pounds again. yes, i would love to be a two digit number, however, i know that's unhealthy and unreasonable. let's just say it's not like it hasn't crossed my mind.

You always had a way with words
In letters back and forth we'd send
Back when we were foolish kids
The world was only as big as a heart

And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
When everything, everything was fine
I wish everything was fine

You thought we had it figured out
And nothing can stop us now

I wish we were those foolish kids
We could go back inside again

We always knew this night would come
But I could never give you up
So just go on lying
'Cause we can just pretend

And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
when everything, everything was fine
I wish everything was fine

You always knew it was the right way
The right way to make a point in everything
I'm gonna make up for last time
I'm gonna make up for this
I'm gonna wake up and rewind

And she walks just like I remember
Something's on her mind

And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
When everything was fine

it's spring break and i am still home. i am one of the few who doesn't mind staying home and sleeping and relaxing. i don't need to be on a beach. i'd rather go in the summer anyway. so i'm getting lots of sleep. and downloading quite possibly every song damien rice has ever sang because i have a new love for him. i'm glad i saw the movie Closer otherwise i may never have heard him before. i've got 'the blowers daughter' on repeat right now. it's an amazing song. i was driving the other day and noticed someone wrote pig on my windsheild. not actually wrote but just with their finger. fingerprints are a bitch to get off. i'm on a diet anyway. a 1000 calorie diet is not difficult for me. i'm going to do it this time.

i've been feeling a bit..off..lately. i'm not sure what it is. it's not that i'm depressed really, i think i could just be a little happier. the weather is turning nicer, though. 40's and 50's some days. so that's nice. i think the sunshine and warmth will be good for me.

i know i said i'd try to update more, but really i've had nothing to say, nor have i had the time. i saw jason, it was amazing. i almost started crying on the way home because i didn't want to leave him. i just miss him so much when he's not around. the fact that i don't get to see him often doesn't phase me at all because i know when i do see him, it will be amazing.

i got my nose pierced and a pink lotus flower with a black stem tattooed on my back. i don't have a digital camera, but hopefully i can find a way to get it on here. are there pink lotus flowers? obviously i know they don't have black stems, but i want to grow them in my garden now. what should my next tattoo be? i'm thinking a star. i've been talking to julianna more, she's one of the most beautiful people i know.
