Wow, haven't blogged in a while... [

I've been putting aside my lj, but there's not much to blog about. :) So, I've been on break since the 20th and I did well on my finals, so I'm excited.

And for all my readers, I know I said I would be putting up a new story, but lately I think I've decided I'm not going to finish it and post it. It's okay and everything and I really like the chemistry between the two main characters, but I've just sort of lost interest right now. Plus, my Word on my Mac bombed on me today, said something about too many installations out of nowhere even thought it's been running fine. So I'm probably gonna have to buy another one soon. Anyone know any good prices? The ones I've been browsing are way too much, like in the $500. It's crazy, didn't Word used to be free on computers? Lol.

But back to writing, I really want to post a full length story but I think I'm going to do something fantasy/romance related and not set in the high school scene. I'm still waiting for some inspiration to hit me; I have a few things to think about but I still haven't worked out the plot details... So until then, I'm just waiting. :) I'll probably get some one-shots posted though; I've had a lot of those running around in my head.

On another note, I've finished reading Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. It was interesting...definitely not one of my favorites, but it was good for a quick read. A quote that I liked was, "No--when the rain falls you just let it fall and you grin like a madman and you dance with it, because if you can make yourself happy in the rain then you're doing pretty alright in life."

I hope that every had a great holiday and until next time...

ew, stupid day. [

So anyways, we've been testing lately for our high school exit exams and today was the last day for it. So I got to school around 7:35 - our school starts at 8:00 - only to find out that because of traffic delays, schools going to start at 9:00 instead. I'm like, wft? My dad already left when he dropped me off so when my friends Katie and Ali got to school, we walked down this path for like two miles. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. And of course, my worn out converse just couldn't take it, so I got a few blisters. Haha, go me. It was windy so we got wind burn too, but yeah. It was a creepy path, but since it was drizzling, it made it so cool, kind of haunted. So yeah, we stood around and then made our way back to school. Once we got there we went to our classes and tested for four hours. The problem was, I got done with my test in about an hour because they are so freaking easy. So I sat there for three hours, and got hit by a huge paper ball because some stupid people were betting on how many baskets they could make in the trash can across the room. I just happened to be in the way. Idiots.

So, the day went on as normal and I was bored...as usual. I took the bus home today and my bus driver - the coolest BD you'll ever meet - wasn't there. There was this really strict dude that assigned our seats and told us not to talk. He got to the school about fifteen minutes after school ended too so I was pretty ticked off by then. He's like, "I don't want to here any of you talk because I have other things to worry about." I was just like staring at him like he was nuts. God.

So when I got off the bus I went home and everything went normal. 'Til my dad decided he was going to pick Children Favorites again. He's a sports fanatic and my brother's basketball season just started again. He's like, "Lauren, clean up the kitchen and do the dishes." Then he tells my brother to sit down at the table and talk to him about how his practice went frame-by-frame. I've been cleaning up the kitchen for like two weeks and my brother hasn't done jack squat. He proceeds to act like it's a burden to say, "Yeah, well dad, we got in the gym and had to share it with the girls today. We did lay-up drills and Randy got kicked off the team." I guess tennis isn't manly enough for my dad since he never asked how my practice went when it was my season. And he only came to like three of my games. Whatever.

So sorry about this rant. Nobody probably read about it but that definately felt good. Thank God for my lj. :) Now, i'm going to go and prepare for my Tumbes-Choco Magdalena presentaton tomorrow in biology.

Lauren.

Wow, a break [

It feels weird having nothing to do since I've been so busy this past month with school work. All my teachers find some sadistic amusement in throwing projects on us the week before finals, so I have been busy working on those, and then, of course, the actual finals took place on Wednesday and Thursday. But now I'm free of any work until I get some at school tomorrow.

I got my hair cut yesterday. I got sidebangs once again and I got all of my layers trimmed, adding shorter ones in the back. I think it looks cute so it doesn't bug me. I got about three inches of my hair cut off so it is a lot shorter but my hair grows super fast anyways. But yeah, my hairdresser asked me if she could style it because she had some extra time before her next client. She's so sweet; she curled it and I loved it. :) She didn't even charge me.

I haven't been writing anything lately and that explains my lack of updates on fictionpress, so if any of my readers are reading this, I apologize.

I just read Shattered Mirror by Amelia Atwater Rhodes for the second time. She's so great; she blows my mind everytime and she definately needs to have a sequel to that book. The ending practically begged for one.

And that about sums it up. I hope everyone had a good weekend because I know I did. :) Have a good week!

Lauren.

I couldn't go and get tickets to see P!ATD because I had something pop up tomorrow after school. It sucks because not only were they going to be there but Jack's Mannequin was too...And they're so close...San Jose, my God.
My friend said that she's going though tomorrow and she'll take lots of pictures for me so I cheered up after that. Damn.

So, hope ya'll had a good weekend. I didn't do much...just got my hair cut and cleaned my room. Shocking, I know.

my parents and their problems [

[ mood | crappy ]
[ music | the silence ]

Well, I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was okay. Nobody came over because usually we have it at my grandma's house, but she's been ill lately and they didn't want to drive down to our house either. Then I thought that we were suppose to go up to Washington to visit my other side of the family, but it happened that my mother and my brother got sick. From whom you ask? Oh, that would be me. :) Damn.

So yeah, we ended up staying home in the all, all four of us, which was really uncomfortable. You see, my parents don't really talk to each other, unless it's through email but only when they need to. They've been this way for a while, and I have a feeling that they are only staying together for my brother and I. But you know, it already feels like they are divorced. Whenever I ask my mom where dad is she uses the same tone she uses when she talks about her "terrible, unorganized boss." Not good, right? Yeah. So we're just sitting at the dinner table with a strained silence and the clanging of forks and knives. I almost cried... I was being pathetic. But I really do appreciate my mom for slaving away all day so we could have a nice dinner. It was good, and I love her.

So, sorry i'm bitching. I just needed to get that out. I don't really know if my brother has noticed or not and I don't know if I really want to talk to him about it to see if he does. But I might soon.

And on another note, school tomorrow. Yippee =/

I think my computer has a virus. My wallpaper is white and I keep getting all of these popups. I did a virus scan already and it said it deleted them, but my comp is still messed up. Any suggestions?

PSAT's are tomorrow. I have to wake up at my normal time on a school day and be at my school at 7:30...on a freakin' Saturday. School isn't exactly where I would want to spend about four hours of my time on a weekend, but I paid for the test, and I must go. Eh.

I better go now, I still have to shower and get to bed =/

Just got back from practice. Killer, I swear. We had to run sprints for about twenty minutes. =/ I think I pulled something.

So, all day yesterday I started to clean out my room because we're painting it. I'm surrounded by WHITE, and it's ticking me off. It echos too =D Especially when you slam the door shut.

Not like I did that, though.

Pointless entry, I'm just bored for once. I think I'll go and write.
