Hey everybody who reads this (All none of you lol.) Yay it's christmas break! I'm so happy. I definitely need the time to de-stress and stuff. I slept in until like 1:15 pm today..it felt....soo good. I'm excited for Christmas and New Year's too. Our New Year's dance at church is going to be soo fun:D. Kara and Becca and Liz and I are in charge of it. We need to get plannin on that too..but it'll be fun. Anyway...No school for two weeks. YES!! I'm finally gettin over being sick. (hopefully I didn't just jinx it..cross my fingers) Right now..life is good. I have great friends, Christmas is coming, I get to sleep in, and stay up late. Except I need to clean my room...I should do that tomorrow. Hmm...I'll think about it. :D Well I'll try and update more...see you ALL later:D -LC

Life is...
...full of love
...being yourself
...never letting go
...sharing a bowl of ice cream with someone special
...dancing in your bedroom
...blasting Spice Girls and singing along
...learning from your mistakes
...loving through the tough times
...smiling every day

3 more days!! woohoo!

Hey Everybody!! Only three more days until Christmas break:D. I'm so excited. I love Christmas. And I get to catch up on some MUCH needed sleep. I probably looked like such a goober in math today sitting there half asleep with my mouth open desperately trying to keep my eyes open. My big 2 projects for history are DONE!!!! From Sea to Shining Sea has been finished, and My family history project is done too!! woohoo!!! I have a test en Espanol tomorrow. It'll probably be pretty easy though. Anyway...we finally got the new floor put in our dance studio. It looks beautiful. Way better than before.

I'm so excited for the New Year's Eve dance for church! Kara, Becca, Liz and I are gonna plan it again. (with help from other people of course) It was a lot of work last time but it was sooo much fun. Everybody should come! even if you aren't a mormon, our dances are way fun!:D

Boys...Meh...I don't have time for them and that's fine by me. Right now, I'm perfectly content with just having a bunch of guy friends. Although dates are always fun (Hint, Hint..lol) Anyway..just thought I'd try and update, just to see if anyone still reads this thing. Anyway that's all for now. -LC :D

Smile...it makes your tushy tingle;)

Hey All 2 of you that read this lol. Maybe not even that many. Oh well. I'm pretty excited because this Saturday is my December dance recital. Saturday at 7 pm at UCC Jacoby Auditorium. Everybody should come because it's going to be great (hopefully!!) and then you can make fun of the guys in tango. Haha just kidding, all the guys are doing AWESOME! I hope the tango turns out well. I'm really nervous for it. But I think it'll be good. It's been so much fun. Today was a pretty good day. It started out bad, but it got better. I was like 10 minutes late to English, which I'm usually late, but not that late. lol. Anyway...the test in math today was easy as pie. Seminary was awesome. Spanish was uh...interesting.. I got in trouble for talking too much and "not focusing"..lol oh well. Then chem wasn't too bad. Mr. Thiessen is funny..in his own way lol. Gotta love him singin "Kwanzaa...." LOL. I have like 25 more pages to read in my history book (From Sea to Shining Sea)!!!!! I'm going to be soo relieved when I finish that baby. Anyway I gotta go work on my project for that class so I gotta go. Live. Love. and eat your ice cream without guilt:D Laura's advice for the day.

-L:D

Happy Turkey Day tomorrow!

Hey everyone. Sarah's house last night was super fun! I love Disney movies:). Aladdin's probably my favorite, but Little Mermaid is good too..except conner kinda ruined it. lol just kidding. Anyway...I love parties at Sarah's. After all the guys left it was fun, we went in the hot tub and watched TV:D It was me, Laura, sarah, em, rachel, jenny, talana and angela. I agree w/ Laura, yay for friends! Then this morning Laura and I went to Henry's for a donut run:D. Yum! and Chocolate milk:D. Then we watched some more disney movies:D. yay..happy turkey day to everyone! Eat food! peace-LC

~Guy friends that crack me up:D

hello

Well well well..This week went by fairly fast, considering it was a 2 day school week. Gotta love those. The 5 day weekend is going by fast too though, which is a bummer. Wednesday night at Katelyn's was lots of fun. I had to get up really early today though. Kids from my church went and put up flags at the VA, since it's Veteran's Day. Even though it was at 6:30 in the morning, we still had fun. And we got donuts afterwards. I'm not sure if I'm goin to the playoff game at RHS tonight. I might go to the Glide one instead w/Kortney. Or I might stay home and read my history book considering I'm sposed to read until at least 372 by monday and I'm on 180. Yeeeahh..lol. It's a good book though. I don't have dance today, which is nice. We decided to take the weekend off, and I'm glad. But I kind of wish we still had tango, because Marshall wasn't there on Wednesday and we still need to practice. I think ballroom dancing is my favorite style of dance. The tango class has been a blast so far, and any time that I've done swing or latin it's been really fun. Well this one's pretty short...as are most of my posts. lol. ttfn -L:)

Sick

No, I'm not actually sick. I don't have a cold or the flu or a stomachache. But I'm sick of stress and school and guys that confuse the heck out of me and make me swoon all at the same time. I'm sick of how messy my room is and how I haven't written in my journal in forever. I'm sick of my priorities being warped. Like now, I should be doing homework or reading my history book, but I'm not. I'll do it later...maybe. I'm sick of feeling like life is passing me by and I'm missing it. I try and not rush things but it's hard. I'm sick of feeling like I'm not good at anything...I hate how I compare myself to other people. I know that there's always going to be someone prettier, skinnier, a better dancer, a better singer etc. That's just life. I try not to care what people think, and to just be happy being me, but it's hard. And the boy thing, it seems like I'm always confused by them. I wish for once in my life I could get my heart and my mind to agree with each other.

On a happier note...I love my friends. You guys are awesome.
Shout outs to:
>Sarah, Em, Laura and Jenny. Thursday night was a blast:D We'll definitely do that again:D

Long time...

Well hello again. I know I haven't posted in a very long time and for that I'm sorry. Anyway..school's been alright..I guess. I'm sick of all the work, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with the 879 page novel we have to read in History. Hopefully it won't be torture. Chemistry is alright so far, but I've heard that it stinks. Anyway...I went to the football game on Friday...lots of fun. Lots of Orange & Black and school spirit. Norissa and I are definitely dressin up for the Homecoming game. We're gonna go all out:D. oh yeah. It should be fun. Then today..I spent most of the day cleaning my room, it was a disaster. Quite the job. Then Gage, ryan, me, carl and eric saylor all went to Sizzler. It was fun. Carl called and was like "yeah we're goin to dinner, we're on our way to your house." lol I was like "haha ok". then Gage ryan and me went to Kortney's. Mormon party at her house:D lol. We played guesstures and sardines and then watched The Pacifier (w/Vin Diesel, good movie:D Vin Diesel is such a babe. lol" But Kort's dad had it set up like a drive in. cuz it was projectedon the side of her house..so we were all layin on the grass. it was so cold, so we all had blankets. It was really fun though. Well I'm gonna go to bed cuz I'm pretty tired. Goodnight all:D Sweet Dreams peace-Laura

Just a few random sidenotes...

Hey everybody...I'm at Sarah's right now, chillin with sarah, laura l and david. It's like 3:26 am. We're playin with this wax massage thingy sarah has lol. It's kinda fun. This post probably won't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway...we hung out at Kevin's for a little while tonight. We made s'mores then watched Shrek 2. Laura L has lost her mind lol..she's making no sense at all. I can't believe you-know-what is starting next week. It's depressing. I love the summer, staying up late and sleeping in. Movie nights, bonfires and swimming in the river. I'll miss it. Hopefully this year will be ok. I have some good teachers and hopefully I'll live through Chem 2 and Pre Cal. alrighty well I'm pretty tired. I'm going to go..to bed possibly. Good morning! xo-Laura:)

Я люблю Вас, Кристина

My sister, Christine, left today. She flys from Portland to Charleston, South Carolina. Then she'll go to Washington, D.C. and then fly to Moscow, Russia. She's studying abroad there for this upcoming school year. I won't see her for 10 months. I'll miss her so much. I know she will have a wonderful time. When she comes back, she'll be able to speak Russian fluently, and will have learned so much.

I've seen several great movies recently. On Sunday, I watched "Bride and Prejudice" with my mom and sister. It's very good. It's basically the same story as Pride and Prejudice, but set in Amritsar, India. It's a musical and the music is great. Then, on Wednesday, I saw Phantom of the Opera, for the first time. Amazing. I grew up listening to the songs from the musical, but the movie is terrific. The actress who plays Christine, Emmy Rossum, does wonderful job. She has a beautiful voice. And Yesterday, I watched Rocky (the original), I've seen it before, but it's very good as well.

I've always been a fan of music from other countries, in other languages, but lately I've been getting into Indian music. It's really pretty and good dance music. I love latin music as well. I've always wanted to learn how to latin dance. It looks like so much fun. Well I'm going to go. peace-Laura

The not-so-exciting life of Laura

Alright so I felt like I needed to post again. Fair was pretty fun. I went on Wednesday and Saturday. Tianna, Mia, Sarah, Alisha, and I danced in Rickett's Revue and we placed 5th. We did a dance to "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. It was really fun. I always seem to waste a ton of money at the fair. haha I guess that's what it's for.

My sister, Christine, leaves for Russia on Saturday. I won't see her for 10 months. (Actually she goes to Charleston, then Washington D.C. for orientation, and then Russia, but she won't be back in Roseburg until next May.) I'm going to miss her so much. I know she'll have a great time, she's always wanted to go to Russia, so we're all excited for her.

I hate to admit it, but summer is almost over and the big "S" word is coming up. I'm on Link Crew this year, which will hopefully be fun. It means I have to go a day early to school, but Link Day isn't really work so it's not that bad. Hopefully the kids in my group won't hate me. lol.

Well today I was making cookies, and I burned one dozen of them, and then the next dozen were slightly burned, but still eatable. I guess I'm never going to be a good cook. Oh well. Most of the cookies were decent, but oh well.

Alright well I'm gonna get. Peace!-Laura

All I Ask of You- Phantom of the Opera

I've always loved this song, it's one of the sweetest duets I can think of. I still need to watch Phantom of the Opera (the new movie.) -Laura

Raoul:
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you - my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...

Christine:
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you...

Raoul:
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you -
your fears are far behind you...

Christine:
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night...
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me...

Raoul:
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
let me lead you from your solitude....
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you go, let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of you...

Christine:
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...

Raoul & Christine:
Share each day with me,
each night,
each morning...

Christine:
Say you love me...

Raoul:
You know I do...

Raul & Christine:
Love me - that's all I ask of you...

Anywhere you go let me go too...
Love me - that's all I ask of you...

Who knows where I was goin with this...

I feel the need to update, yet I don't know what about. No big life-changing experiences have happened to me lately, no spiritual epiphanies, or monumental moments. Oh! I just got an idea. I feel a list coming on...

Monumental Moments to Make the Most of (like the alliteration?)

1.First Kiss (duh!, but it seems like most people don't have a "Cinderella First Kiss" story.)

2.First Day of School (I know I said the "s" word during Summer, but we really should make the most of this day that only happens once a year. Its a time for new beginnings, and fresh starts.)

3.Traveling (Especially out of the country. See all the "touristy" places, but don't turn down a chance to see what the people there are like, and learn about their culture.)

4.Opportunities to Volunteer and Help others (It always makes me feel good when you're thinking of someone besides myself.)

5.Meeting new people (Everyone has something unique to teach. If we take the chance to listen, we can learn something new.)

6.Sharing Our Talents (That one is always hard for me, because I get terribly nervous when it comes to performing in front of an audience. But I guess its just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it.)

7.Learning a New Skill (Give 100% in everything. Either hate it or love it.)

8.I couldn't think of a good one for number 8. :p lol

9.Complimenting Others. (I dont know that many people that get mad, when given compliments.)

10.Expressing appreciation for the efforts of others (magic words=please & thank you)



Sorry if it sounds like I'm preaching. I didn't mean it like that. I just felt like making a list. Anyway..enjoy..~peace-Laura

Feelin groovy....haha:D

Alright so life has been pretty good lately. I hope that didn't jinx things for me. It's not like anything big or exciting has happened, I guess I'm just content with where I am, and who I am right now. I love my friends, family, church, and everything. I'm feeling really great. Hmm I think I'm gonna make a list of random stuff that I want to do sometime in my life. Well here goes:

1. Go to Europe.
2. Fall in love.:)
3. Learn to like vegetables. (can't live on carrots and corn forever haha)
4. Learn to speak Spanish, and other languages, fluently.
5. Go to New York and see Broadway.
6. Sing/dance/perform in front of a huge crowd and knock em dead!:D
7. Save money and use it for a good cause.
8. Make a difference in someone's life.
9. Learn how to ballroom dance. (swing, latin, etc.)
10. Learn to cook.
11. Learn to play an instrument.
12. Go on a spontaneous road trip with no destination in mind.
13. Go skinny dipping...haha (no boys don't worry).
14. Dance in the rain. (I'v already done this but I will continue to do so:D)

Alright so there you go..there's a little list..14 things. Enjoy:D! peace-Laura

ps: comment!!:D

Bored...

Hello again.
Well life hasn't been super exciting as of late. But I figured I'd post anyway..Lately I've realized how much I love good conversation. It really says a lot about a person if you can talk to them for hours and not get bored. I've always loved the saying "Marry someone you love to talk to, because when looks fade away, conversation is left." or something like that.
Hmm...Fair is coming up. That should be fun. I can't believe Summer is more than halfway over. That's so depressing. I don't want school to start again. I don't want to be a Junior yet. I feel so old. I'm going to be 17 in less than 3 months. Man... to all of my fellow Juniors..we have to make this year count. We only have 2 years left and I don't want to waste them. We have to make this year UNFORGETTABLE.
Once again I can't think of anything interesting to post about. It seems like all my posts are pretty short and meaningless. Life has been treating me fairly well lately. Even in the boy department lol. Life has been pretty fun lately. Not super exciting, but i've really grown to appreciate my friends. I love all of you guys. I think my circle of friends has gotten bigger this year and the friends that I had before have become closer. Hmm..well I couldn't make this post much longer than the others but oh well. I'm off to bed..actually probably not but oh well. peace -Laura

Catchin up..

Hey everybody..it's been a while. Sorry I haven't been updating..it seems like no one is. So anyway...not too much super exciting has been happening. 2 important events have occured though. My car wreck, and getting my wisdom teeth out. I got in a car wreck last monday..and so I no longer have the privelege of driving my sweet Penelope, my minivan. I was driving on Heydon Road off of Melqua and I slid ont he gravel, went off the road and hit a tree. Very Scary. Luckily I was ok and no one else was in the car. Second, today I got my wisdom teeth out. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The shot was the worst part. Then they gave me lots of drugs so I was knocked out basically for the whole procedure. I didn't swell up too bad so I might still go to the halfshell tomorrow night. Who knows..Hmm..well yeah I'll try and update more:D ttyl bubye

Hello all,
Yeah I know I haven't posted in a LONG time. Well Girls camp (church camp) was a blast! I had a great time. And then I went to California. Got a little tan:D. That was fun. I love the beach and the sun. I'm a california girl at heart, I think I got that from my mom. It was fun to hang out with all my cousins and stuff too. My cousin Billy is so fun. He's like 26 and is married. He and his wife Mandi are lots of fun. They brought their friend Darcy too. He cracks me up. He's like David Spade's TWIN. It's crazy. He's such a goofball.
Yeah and grafitti (gosh I can never spell that word, soo frustrating) is tonight. It should be fun. My mom always tells me how "Roseburg" I am. lol So what if Fair and Grafitti night are the highlights of my summer. I'm not TOO much of a redneck. hehe. Yeah well this post isn't too long I'll maybe write more later:D Love to all! xoxo peace;) -Laura

I'm baaaaaaaack!!! woohoo!

Hey everybody! I'm back from EFY. I know you all missed me SOO much..lol. Wow I had so much fun though. An amazing experience. This year was my 3rd year goin to it and it's awesome every year. I met so many awesome kids and the leaders and counselors were great. It's such a cool feeling to be surrounded by youth from my church. We are united in our faith and our morals. The whole week was filled with awesome classes, fun games, dances, and great speakers. I am going to miss everybody I met there: Talisa, Megan, Hilly, Gramps, Rowdy Rex, Strong Sean, Colonel Cody, Bobby & Steven, and all the awesome counselors: Ryan, Jackie, Kirsten, Scott, Jimmy, and Katie. Even though I've only known them for a week, I feel like I've known some of them forever. The whole week was so uplifting and spiritual but really fun at the same time. I'm so glad I went. I learned so much. I love Mormon boys, they are so sweet. Our guys from our group came and sang to us and brought roses:D. It was really cute. Man I'll miss them. Well I'm going to go. love you all! ttyl bubye
peace;), Laura

Hey guys!!

Hey y'all! I'm not back yet, I'm still at EFY but they have computers we can use. Yeah I'm not gonna email back because I dont have that much time but I figured I'll post real quick. Anywho..I'm having an awesome time. Such a great experience. There are like 300 mormon kids all together. So much fun. Yeah tomorrow is our last full day so I will be back sometime Saturday. I'm excited. Then I leave for Girl's camp next Tues. I'm excited for that. I'll be on a "mormon high" hehe. But it's cool. Yeah the people here are soo nice and it's a lot of fun. We have a banquet and a dance tomorrow to end the week. I'll be soo sad I bet cuz I've made a bunch of new friends. A lot of them aren't too far away. (Portland area) Yeeeaahh..well I'll write more later but I miss all y'all! See you when I get back. Hey my mormon posse (if any of you are reading this) we should find something cool to do Saturday cuz Then I'll be back. Love you all!! xoxoxo bubye ;)

~Lil Laura:)

a night filled with Beranstain Bears, cold pizza and Lots of MSN.

Then came home, babysat my little brother (I read him a beranstain bears story.), got on MSN way too much. Was super bored. Yeah well I'm leavin Monday (technically tomorrow) for EFY so I won't update until Saturday prolly. I'm excited though. I hope its' fun. Yeah..WEll this is super short but oh well. I'll talk to y'all later. xoxo to everybody. -Laura

The Lovely Life of Laura

Hello all y'all that are reading this. I'm just really bored so I felt like I'd post about...something. Anyway. I'm really excited for summer. I have a lot of plans for June/July so I'll be gone a lot, but it's going to be lots of fun. First off, next Monday I leave for Portland to go to EFY(Especially for Youth). It's a week-long camp thing for my church. I went to one last year and the year before. (They have them all over the U.S. the whole summer). It's an awesome experience. A whole week surrounded by hundreds of other kids that all basically believe the same thing. The counselors are AWESOME and the dances are soo much fun.
Next up, I'm off to Girl's camp (another church camp, w/just girls though, hence the name.) It's lots of fun. I'm sad cuz my friend Stacey won't be there this year but hopefully it will still be fun.
Then The next Sat (right after I get back from Girl's camp) Me, My mom, my sister and my little brother are leavin for Santa Barbara. The annual family reunion for 4th of July. It's lots of fun. Good food, family, the beach...gosh I love California. Maybe I'll get a tan hehe. Swimsuit season...oy...eh oh well..I'll try not to care.
Oh yeah I never blogged about Sarah's RAD party!! It was soo much fun. Nate and Kevin crack me up! I love you guys! Sarah, Em, Laura, Jenny, and all the girls are soo much fun. Nathan and all his buddies make Sarah's house extra fun. Silly boys. It was pretty funny when we were all in the hot tub w/our regular clothes on hehe.
Well now what to talk about...well I've realized something about boys and high school relationships...it just gets more confusing. I'm not looking for a boyfriend, because I think that I change my mind too much to make a commitment. I know a ton of guys that would be a blast to hang out with, and there are a few I'd especially like to hang out with. My friends call me fickle, and maybe I am. There isn't really any specific guy that I'm "in like" with right now, but there are a few that I would like to get to know better. I like talking to guys 'cause they always have a different perspective than girls. And boys make me laugh. haha. Well enough rambling...that's basically it though, i wish I had a bigger group of close guy friends. Maybe I can do something about that this summer. hmm..something to think about..well I'm out. peace-Laura;)

Quiero un caballo pequeño con pelo rojo!!

Hola todos. Como estan ustedes? Yo escuche a Ace de Base con mi amia Kara. Fue muy divertido. Yo fui a Tyee en Viernes con muchas chicas. Kara y yo hablamos mucho. Pues...ayer yo fui a Iglesia con mi madre y mi hermano. Y mi hermana Christine vino a casa. Yo uso su computadora (laptop.) Ok enough spanish..I was gonna try and make this whole post in spanish but it didn't work so well. So yeah today was kinda boring. Finals stink and I'm definitely not wanting to take my finals tomorrow or the next day. I say we just get the whole school to sleep in. They can't fail everyone eh? haha. I wish. Anyway... So I'm feeling kind of bummed because my blog is less than special. Diana's blog is all deep and stuff w/lots of thought-provoking posts. Mallorie's is kinda the same way but mostly just random and stuff. Yeah I feel like my blog is too ditzy. :( But I'm not a very deep person anyway..so I'd probably sound stupider if I tried to think of something brilliant. Anywho..on to more ditziness. I'm listening to Ace of Base, the Cruel Summer cd. It's got some good songs on it. "Cecilia" is a fun one. hehe. Now onto something I've been thinking about for a while....boys. No I'm not going to go on and on about the boy problems that I am having. I just have been wondering something. Back in like the 50s and 60s and stuff people used to "date." I don't mean boyfriend/girlfriend. But it was ok for a girl to go to the movies with one guy one weekend and go bowling with another guy on a different weekend. Nowadays, it seems like teenagers are too caught up in "going out" with each other. It seems like this year that I haven't just liked one guy. I don't really like anyone right now. There are several possibilities, but no one that I dream about. Yeah..I've been feeling awfully fickle lately. I don't like it. Hmm...but I guess I can't really help it that much. Anyway...well this is enough of a ramble for now. More later. My main point was...dates are a good way to get to know others and they're fun. hehe. No I'm not begging. Heck no! Anyway..well I'm gonna go..hope u all enjoyed my uh..complaining..lol -peace, laura:)-

Me gusta mucho Ricky Martin...el es magnifico, y muy guapo.

So I am sitting at my computer, clearly procrastinating my homework. I am listening to a GREAT cd. It's becoming one of my favorites. The songs on it are beautiful, sweet, and not in English. Yes, as you all are probably noticed from the subject of this post, I am listening to Ricky Martin. I absolutely love this CD. "Vuelve" is what it's called. All the songs are in spanish and even though I don't understand them too well, spanish is such a beautiful language. I wish that I could speak it better. Anyway, Perdido Sin Ti is definitely one of my favorites along with others, but La Bomba and La Copa De La Vida son FANTASTICO! Man, I want to learn how to latin dance SOO bad. I learned a little bit on my cruise and since then I've wanted to learn even more. But yeah 16 year old boys that want to learn how to dance are hard to come by. Oh well. Just a thought for guys though...I'm not saying this as a hint..but most girls LOVE guys that can/will dance. It doesn't make you look like a wuss or a queer or something. It's definitely hot. :D Yeah anyway..just thought I'd say how much I love Ricky Martin. I honestly don't know how people can listen to awesome songs like "La Bomba" and "La Copa De La Vida" and NOT wanna get up and dance. Anywho...I love you ricky! maybe you can be my dance partner:D haha. well I'm out -luv u all, peace- Laura:)

BAD day

Alright so I was going to type in pink, but there is no pink font. That depresses me even more and adds to the bad day that I've had. So basically, (mally x's word haha I like it, it's fun) here's what happened:

1. Go to school w/Laura Leonard at 7:00 to finish up our English project that we were both working on until the wee hours of the morning.

2. Get to English late because we were working on the project until approximately 7:49.

3. Get my research paper back for English and realize how much of an idiot I am and that I can't write worth beans. Feel a little depressed about myself.

4. Go to 2nd period. Choir. The easy carefree class right? With the sub that doesn't care what we do right? With no assignments because this year in choir has been heck with all the teachers we've had and drama/trauma we've had to go through right???? NO! We have to watch Amadeus which I personally don't like so far. And not only watch it, but take notes and tomorrow we have to write a one to two page paper on it. It's a stupid movie that makes Mozart look like and idiot with a crude mind and about the maturity of a 9th grade boy. (no offense to any freshman..there are exceptions.) At least that's what I got from it.

5. Go to Biology and work on my PowerPoint Presentation in the Tech Lab.. feel like even more of an IDIOT because Mia is almost done and I'm on my second slide. go laura...this day just keeps getting better.

6. Finally Lunch! Almuerzo! Time to socialize and relieve stress right? No time to almost get tripped by Kevin while trying to heat up my lasagna (my favorite food, by the way.) Anyway it wouldn't have been that big of a deal but I was already ticked off from the previous part of my day. I swear if Kevin had succeeded in tripping me and I had spilled my lasagna all over the floor, I would've either SLAPPED Kevin soo hard or burst into tears. But I went off on Kevin and told him NOT to mess with me. then everybody did the whole "whisper whisper laura's in a bad mood" thing.. I HATE that. grr!

7. Then I went to 4th per. which was wellness. Not too bad.

8. 5th per. was spanish. That was prolly the most fun period of the day. The guys in that class crack me up.. haha Nick, Adam, Kam, The Seans lol. Funny Fellas haha.

9. Math Math Math! I hate math with a PASSION! We spent the class reviewing for the final..I'm going to do bad on it. and hten I'll get ANOTHER B so I cna't even be salutatorian Joy. and I found out I have 4 missing assignments. Yeah that's always good.

Anyway it was a sucky day but I felt better after school. I went to Rite Aid w/my mom because she had to get some stuff. and I got an Aquafina cuz I was postitively parched. And then it started POURING outside...definitely my favorite kind of rain. I love just dancing around or playing in the rain and getting DRENCHED. Yeah I'm such an Oregon girl. Anyway..I feel a lot better after all that venting. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Ttyl peace:) -laura

Randomnity..no I did NOT mean randomNESS....p.s. COME TO MY RECITAL 7pm at UCC and I will LOVE you forever!

Aloha all!
Well I need to update but I dont know what to write about. My dance recital is tomorrow. I'm excited but kind of sad too. I'll end up missing dance over the summer. Except Rickett's will be fun:D. hmm...I went to Norissa's dance recital w/Laura L tonight. It was fun..Watching other people dance always gets me in the mood again and makes me um..I guess more motivated to dance. I know I'm going to miss dance a ton when I get to college..I'll prolly still keep dancing (hopefully!) but it won't be the same without all our dancer buddies. I really want to learn how to ballroom dance. Man that'd be awesome. Latin dancing is definitely the best. I know a little bit of a lot of different kinds of ballroom (salsa, merengue, swing, waltz, polka, foxtrot) but I just know the basics and a few cool lifts/dips. Yeah anyway...enough about that.
Boys are once again confusing me. Typical for me. But just to vent about a few select things:
A) There are a few boys I might like, but idk and I hate liking more than one guy at a time.
B) There is a boy I haven't seen in a long time that I miss a lot. He's a pretty close guy friend and we need to hang out more. But he has work and stuff. Hopefully, come summer, we'll have more time:D.
C) I hate the way I am around guys sometimes...I'm either too shy or too giggly, or too annoying or something. I'm not one of those girls that's just carefree and confident and can walk up and be all cute and stuff..grr.. I close in and get shy.
D) I hate how un-athletic I am. I can't even catch a fetchin football. I feel like a wimp and a priss.

Alright enough venting. I'm really not a depressed person..I'm very happy and I love life..I just get self-conscious really easily and I worry WAY too much about how I look and what other people think. I'm workin on it. I miss all my buddies from last year..Nate and I decided we need to have a "bash" haha w/all our buddies from last year:D. Well I'm out. -peace:)-

Well Mall here's your post.

I was told, no COMMANDED, to post...NOW! by Mally X. Well it's not exactly "now", but tough cookies. Anyway..blah blah blah..boys confuse me, blah blah blah I don't like school, blah blah blah what else to say. Hmm maybe we'll make a list. I think I shall title it:

Just a few things that our generation needs to be better at:
1. We need to not associate the color purple or the rainbow with homosexuality. Frankly I like rainbows AND the color purple and I think I should be able to wear them freely without stupid comments from retarded guys.
2. Boys need to be more charming. Girls aren't THAT intimidating and most of them would like a date once in a while. I've been told that feminism ruined the chivalry era and that saddens me. Why can't we have both?
3. The fashions of our generation are beyond me. Whatever happened to clothes? You know, shirts, pants, those things that you wear to keep you from freezing to death. Apparently they are out of style and the "cool" thing to do is to paste random bits of fabric to cover just enough to not get charged with indecent exposure. (okay maybe that's going a little bit too far but I see way too many girls showing off way too much at school lol.)
4. On a fashion note, boys need to realize that most girls don't go for the "pants-are-so-low-they're-about-to-fall-off" trend. I don't mean that guys should go for the Steve Erkle look either..cuz that didn't work out so well for him either, but there is such a thing as a happy medium. And even though guys hate it.. they always look cuter when they're dressed up a little.
5. Extreme PDAs are just gross. Period.
6. Reality TV has been SOO overdone.
7. TV in general has gone way downhill. Yes, there are still a few good shows (except when retarded people decide to cancel the good ones like Joan of Arcadia and American Dreams because they don't have enough filth in them.)
8. There are way too many teen mothers. It's very sad. They get younger and younger. Think about it.
9. Too many kids drink, smoke etc. I'm wondering where they get the money. I can probably think of about 100 other places that money could go to, to be spent in a much better way.
10. And lastly, there is no ice cream truck route that currently goes through my neighborhood. Personally, I think that's terrible. What is the world coming to?

Haha sorry I had to end on a happy note.. Anyway my point is that all those things are preventable. If we stop watching stupid TV shows, they get bad reviews and they are canceled. At the very least we dont sit through an hour of garbage. Maybe next year at prom we can hand out Lollipops instead of garters. haha just a thought. alright I'm out -peace:D-

Gosh I hate computers sometimes

Well I was in the middle of writing a lil post about how Cartoon characters can most definitely be gorgeous and on accident I closed the box because my computer was freaking out. So now it's floating around in cyberspace somewhere, and I'm too lazy to write it all out again. Anyway...My main point was that Hercules and Aladdin are definitely hotties and how I wish real life was like disney movies. I mean in Sleeping Beauty at the end how her dress changes colors. How cool is that? Way cool. And Little Mermaid is one of the most romantic movies ever (see Love Song of the Week). I'm so making my future husband watch that. Even before we have kids. lol. Except I have to cover my eyes in the part at the end where Ursula gets HUGE...it still scares me. haha. Oh that got me thinkin I think I'll make a list:

Ten Songs I want to play at My Wedding Reception (in no specific order).
1. From This Moment On-Shania Twain
2. Kiss The Girl-Little Mermaid
3. I'll Be There-Jackson 5
4. God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You-N'sync
5. All My Life-KC and JoJo
6. My Girl-The Temptations
7. I Will Always Love You-Whitney Houston
8. Unforgettable-Nat King Cole
9. Can't Take My Eyes off of You-Frankie Valli
10. Twist and Shout-The Beatles (just for fun:D)

haha that was kinda fun. Those are all great songs:D Well have fun, be safe, and dance! -peace-:D

Random Tangent

Okay, so people think I'm weird..but I definitely had a thing for Hercules and Aladdin when I was little..Some people just dont understand that. They're like "What? They're CARTOONS!". So? how can you look at Aladdin and not swoon I mean come on? lol. Yeah and Michaelangelo is definitely the hot Ninja Turtle..I dont care what you guys think. ;) Well maybe not hot but he's definitely the funniest one. "Rafael is cool but crude, Micaelangelo is a party dude..." I wish real life was like Disney movies. The girl is always beautiful and sweet and she always gets the guy of her dreams. The guy is gorgeous, charming and a gentleman and doesn't care even if she is in rags or lives with 7 other little men. hehe.

Whoa! kay in my last post I said my comp lost one of my previous almost posts cuz I accidentally closed the box. Well this is it. I magically found it. That was creepy. Anyway. ...John Smith from Pocahontas is definitely a babe too.. (there ya go bleighquito:D) alright -peace-:D

Love Song of the Week

Definitely one of the sweetest songs I that I know of. If only it were that simple:D and if only every girl had a crab for a matchmaker...alas..

Kiss De Girl-The Little Mermaid

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say,
But there's something about her.
And you don't know why,
But you're dying to try
You wanna,
Kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her you know you do
Possible she wants you too,
there is one way to ask her.
It don't take a word,
Not a single word, go on and
Kiss the Girl (sing wit' me now)

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment(ya ya)
Floating in a blue lagoon(ya ya ya)
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better(ya ya ya ya ya)
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word until you, kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You've got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how, you wanna
Kiss the girl (woah-woah!)
Sha la la la la la
Float along, and listen to the song
The song say, kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music says
You gotta, kiss the girl

Me gusta mucho espanol y quiero aprender como hablar el perfecto<---many mistakes I'm sure Diana ..lo siento

Hello All,
Well after hearing Mallorie's joyous triumph in the Love department, I was feeling semi-bummed about my lack of/confusing love life. Idk it always seems to be that I like a guy and a guy likes me ...but it's not usually the same guy..lol. So I dont know what to do. Anyway...so that's the current situation. Here's how it goes (flows, mows, shows..rhyming is fun:D): There are two guys I might like. We'll call them Boy Q and Boy R (yeah that's right who says I have to name them A and B cuz that's what you were expecting eh? EH?!) Anyway..Boy Q is a decent, sweet, funny, tall boy w/awesome curly hair....but he's VERY busy (w/work, sports etc.)...hopefully summer will change that. The other, Boy R is awesome too. Plays many instruments including guitar (Oh my goodness...if there is anything that makes me faint it's guys that play guitar...especially when they play sweet, mellow songs. anyway just so you k now that wasn't a particular experience just in general..I'm a sucker for musicians.) Anyway...Boy R is really cool but he's also like a year younger than me..which stinks because I don't usually like guys that are younger than me. Hmm...so you can probably sense my dilemma. (as you can probably tell "dilemma" is one of my favorite words. a) because most of the time it perfectly describes the situation at hand and b) because it has two "m's" for TWICE the fun:D Yesh! (yes I meant to put the "h" there) well I think that's enough moaning about my love life. It's not as big of a deal as I made it sound. It's fun to make things seem worse than they are because then when you really think about them, surprise! they seem better...well at least better than the exaggerated version (if that makes any sense whatsoever.) I'm also a big fan of compound words like whatsoever, whosoever, and therefore. But yeah I'm going to STOP (in the name of LOVE...wowy dowy! (diana and me) REALLY Corny pun there! good one laura) wow I got parentheses inside of parentheses...that's intense.. haha laura ParenTHEsis! the way we said it in math..lol anyway...I'm not really in a rush to get into a high school relationship..most of them seem to consist of meeting between class periods to have physical contact(hugs holding hands, groping and making out under the commons lol ignoring the people puking over the top of the commons at the sight of yourself) for the few minutes before next period. lol ok that's a major Hyperbole but still..PDAs are definitely not my thing. I'm tempted to take brady's advice and hand out condoms to the next couple I see having a tonsol hockey tournament in the quad. Anyway...I'm done..this one was really long...alright well peace:) -Lonely Laura...haha;)

Prom

Well Yes.. I feel obligated to post about prom since I am lowly sophmore but I still went. It was lots of fun. That same day I had to go to my dance studio and take dance pictures for 3 hours..that was not fun. then I went home and got ready, trying desperately to find something to do with my hair. I decided on putting it half back and kind of to one side with chopsticks. It was cute. My dress was gorgeous (not to brag). My mom made it. It was Mandarin style and black and silky and I had really cute high shoes that are my mom's but my mom has great fashion sense so I share shoes with her. Sorry I felt the need for a run-on sentence. Haha. Yeah Then Rodger and Jayce picked me up. (Liz, Rodger's date and girlfriend, wasn't ready yet. ) So we headed to Jayce's for a SCRUMPTIOUS (idk if I spelled that right) dinner of steak, baked potatoes (I'm not a big potato fan but they were really good) and yummy chocolate mousse cake/pie, made by some of the parents of people in our "posse." There were a lot of us there. Then we went to prom which was pretty much a typical high school dance. Lame Music, way too many people in a small space and it was pretty toasty. They played a few good songs like Twist and Shout (Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Great Movie!!) and a swing one. Then we went back to Jayce's..changed into some normal clothes and made s'mores at our little campfire..Then we played on the tire swing too.. I got home about 2:15 haha but it was great.:D Then Diana stayed the night and we went to church the next day:D It was fun. Well i'm done for now. ttyl ..peace:) Laura

Laura's Largely Luscious Lip

Hey . well today wasn't all that exciting except for the fact that Igot to miss 5th and 6th periods to go dance at Winchester. hehe. Yeah and that was ok. We did 2 shows (one for the little kids and one for the big kids) and In the first number of our 2nd show (Razzle Dazzle) there's this part where I have to pick up another girl. and Apparently something went wrong and I got kneed in the lip. Yeah I didn't think it was that bad but then I felt/tasted the blood.. I finished the dance even though I could've run off stage but yeah I spent the rest of the dance w/my mouth shut trying to keep from spittin red everywhere..kinda gross I know..So I have a pretty fat lip that will just look great tomorrow at Prom..woohoo. And there's this big dark spot of "coagulated blood" as summer said. Lovely. Yeah so just proves the fact that dancers get battle wounds as well.I wish it happened on like Monday or somethging so I could show it off lol. I put ice on it so the swelling has gone down..a bit.
Yeah then I had to go to dance and that was ok but tiring and I just didn't feel like it. Anyway there's my excitement for the day.. haha..peace:) Laura

So close to Friday it's scary....heehee

Hey everybody. Well this week was moderately exciting...Got to see 2 guys duel off in a pudding bobbing contest...that was pretty fun haha. Heard all about the Star wars midnight premier..sounded like fun. wish I coulda gone .ah oh well. Prom is this weekend. I'm excited...My dress is almost done hehe...but it will be gorgeous (hopefully!). We're all goin in a big group. Stormin Mormons haha just kidding. but yeah the guys have something planned..so I'm sure we'll have a good time. The Assembly today about Prom was less than touching. Idk it just seems like the people had good intentions but I dont know how much good it will do. I highly doubt that the kids that were planning on getting plastered are really going to change their minds..but if a few of them do and decide not to drink or at least not to drink and drive then I guess it's worth it. I'll still prolly be scared to be on the road knowing there are lousy drivers that are even stupider when they're drunk. Yeah.
Hmm....what to talk about? I could always vent about my love life..haha that'd be thrilling. Short story:...boys are confusing, they are soo unclear about how they feel...and I always like guys that are too busy, too old or too young. Geez...the guy(s) I like are so not forward...and I'm definitely not a first move kinda girl....eh oh well High school relationships rarely work out anyway.. Well I'm gonna go...sorrythis waskind of a lame post oh well. and my typing def. stunk today. alright well peace:) Laura

Hmm...

Hey so today was alright....bad news..it was monday and mondays are just so depressing...good news tomorrows Tuesday and that's one day closer to Friday:D yeah baby! hehe Anyway...Last weekend was fun..good old teenage silliness..Roseburg is fun because you have to be creative and think of fun stuff to do hehe. Grocery Stores are always good for a few laughs.
So I have kind of a confession to make I ordered some CDs off of Amazon.com (awesome website for cheap CDs and pretty much anything, half.com and overstock.com are pretty good too) And I get the used CDs cuz they're cheaper and usually in pretty good condition. Anyway. I ordered three, and two came on time but I've been waiting for the last one for about 2 months (frustration..) And it FINALLY came this weekend:D But Here's the confession part lol it's a JoJo CD haha..usually I dont go for 13 year old R&B/Rap but I totally love this CD...she's got some good songs...and they're cute songs that aren't uh..full of filth...I mean if people bump n grind to Jo Jo that's just wrong. Anyway...yeah I have many "embarrassing" CDs Nsync, BSB, Britney, Spice Girls, (actually that's a cassette:D hoohoo) Christina, Robyn (wow she was like a two hit wonder but I love those two hits hehe..) Joey McIntyre, oh I sooo have the FIVE CD lol white boy rap it's awesome (Baby when the lights, go out...woowoo) YEah I love like old school music from grade school..it's still good..and God Must've Spent a Little More Time On You is still prolly one of the sweetest songs ever. It's definitely goin ont he list of song to play at my wedding, along with Baby I'm Amazed By You, and From This Moment On (shania Twain) lol well enough ranting...Hope you enjoyed good memories w/good tunes. Ttyl peace:)

COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!!!!!!! I like comments..cuz then I dont feel like a loser with no friends.:)

Breathe-Anna Nalick great song:)

Hey I heard this on the radio and I liked it. She has a really cool voice. And the song has a cool message too. Idk it's cooler when you hear the song so you should google it or something if you feel like it.



2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season.
Yea we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

There's a light at the end of this tunnel you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around
2Am and I'm still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threaten' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand...yeah breathe
Just breathe, ohho breathe

Mally X!!! HA!! I just thought I'd give you Happy Birthday Post..wowo I almost put poist like 3 times..gosh that's frustrating. Anyway so here goes:

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY MALLY X!!!!That says happy 17th birthday mally x! in webdings hehe..just htought that'd be fun. Anyway...Hope you're day went better than Monday! You rock everybody's socks! (and their blocks for that matter) Yeah and don't worry about that Anonymous guy he's just a jerk that wants to get a reaction and obviously we're givin him that reaction. Well Have a good one ...peace:)

Have a Happy Half Day!

Well personally I think Happy Half Day sounds better than Happy Early Release Day. It just doesn't have the same ring to it lol. I like only having math for 30 min. except that tomorrow we have a big 100 pt test! yikes! I'm definitely studying for that one. I really want an A for quarter so I can't get an A for Semester. Anywho..So right after school I drove myself (haha I still get a kick out of that) to Fred Meyer's (well Fred Meyer as my mom always corrects me.) Anyway..I went there last night too lol but I saw these Hot pink Hi top converse on sale for $21! so yeah If i'd had 21 dollars last night instead of like 10 I would've gotten them but I had wait until today. So I found my size and hid them hehe. Sneaky sneaky laura. Yeah and I went back today and got them and they are cute and I love them..:D I have red ones but they are slip on and they kind of hurt my feet. And Yeah I know that a lot of other people have pink cons but they prolly didn't get as AWESOME of a deal as me HEHE so muahahaha! Well I was excited about that.
Now plans for the rest of the day:
-Clean my room, do homework, laundry. Fun exciting stuff I now have time for:D
-Dance @ 3 until 5
-Assistant Teach from 5:20 until 6:45ish.
-Scarf down some chow before Mutual (church youth group) at 7. more like 7:10 I'm always late.
-After mutual go home and finish any last minute homework and what not.

Well that's my exciting day. Wednesdays are always my busiest day cuz I go to seminary (church class thing) in the morning at 6:40 and then school...then dance..then "Work" (assisting w/dance classes) then Mutual then home and attempt to do homework while I practically fall asleep hehe. Well ta ta for now! Peace :) -Laura
P.S. I love commments!! except I dont like rude ones like the anonymous person on Mally X's blog hehe.

Brown Eyed Girl-Van Morrison great song:)

I was listenin to this while drivin to seminary today and it's becoming one of my favorites. It kinda reminded me of today...one of those days when its pourin and all you can do is catch raindrops on your tongue:D hey if you're gonna get wet might as well enjoy it:D

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened To
Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall,
with you My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when
we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there,
Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl You
my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

Stupid Research Paper

Yeah so I'm up still it's precisely 10:33 which isn't too late for a saturday night..but I'm wasting it. I am attempting to multitask by chatting on MSN looking up stuff on Google, and trying to do my research paper for english too. Grrr. and the most important one (my research paper) is not getting done. I'm having writer's block or something. Idk but I have absolutely no motivation to finish this. So I figured I'd blog a bit and vent about how much I hate research papers. Let's make a list.

Why Research Papers are Annoying and Hard:
1. You have to decide on a topic
2. You actually have to make an effort and research your topic.
3. There is always a minimum amount of pages and I always seem to finish 1/2 a page too soon.
4. If you get sick of your topic you're either stuck or you have to start from scratch.
5. Bibliographies are a nuisance.
6. It's a pain to keep all your note cards straight and organized.
7. Parenthetical citations are the enemy.

Well that's enough venting. Actually my topic for my research paper is pretty interesting I just dont know how to organize my thoughts very well. My topic is "The effects of Chocolate on Women"..Basically I wanted an excuse to eat chocolate and to make myself feel better for gulping down chocolate milk like water. haha. But yeah..hopefully my paper will turn out alright..speaking of that I should probably get back to it and actually work.. well ta ta for now! Peace:)

Mally X is my Hero!

Hello there. So yes this is my blog as you've probably realized and you might be wondering who Mally X is. well she's my inspiration for blogging. haha. She's a champ and her blog is definitely one of the funniest. so there Mally X you're my hero!. Anyway..yeah so idk how much I'll be using this or if I'll even keep it but for now it's gonna be fun. hehe. So heres where you, the reader, comes in. A) if you are my friend and you know me well, then you will remember good times and laugh at the funny stuff I have to say. if B) you know who I am but dont knwo me very well, than you can get to know me better and we can become kindred spirits (haha anne of green gables, dont know why I pulled her into this) or C) you dont know me at all, dont even know who I am then GET AWAY creepo!!! definitely not kidding about that last one. One of the reasons I delayed getting a blog was because of the whole idea that you never know who's reading it and anyone can find out information about you. Well this isn't very long but hope you enjoyed lol. Peace:)
