02:03 am - Just Kidding.
Okay, I really really really don't use livejournal.
I blog on my site, which is loverly.
Occasionally, I post bad poetry on my myspace page, which is almost but not quite as loverly from the blog.
I keep this to comment on other people's LJ's, b/c being anonymous is just annoying.

For all of you who stumble across this journal, 99.9% of the time it's not going to be current.
What is more current (I'll give it an aproximate 73.6%) is my domain, www.uptonia.com
It's also more visually stimulated. har har har.
For now, quizzes 'cause I haven't done these in like... like oh my god... since like... middle school (like x 7).

08:25 pm - wish you were here to chain you up without shame
Ding Dong. The light bulb goes on (although light bulbs don't go ding dong).
Not many people know about my LJ (ie my parents, relatives, teachers, etc), so I can write whatever the hell I want without fear of suppression.
And if you do find this, and are reading something you don't like - fuck it. I've been filtering Uptonia.com for at least a year now, and I'm tired of writing people friendly things.
This weekend was quite alright. I didn't get my math homework done in time, but I never get my math homework done in time... so that's nothing new. Instead of the math studying I should have been doing, I went out to a party with Jess. Met a boy I then became infactuated with in a period of an hour, so that was fun. Got really drunk really quickly off of really good rum, and then had to chill and sober up so I could drive home later... which I did without dying.
Not dying is generally a good thing.
The quote of the night, well there were lots of them - I laughed a lot, but I can't remember them all. Actually, I can only remember one right now and that was because I said it. I was talking with this boy, and he commented that Leah's roommates (the girls who lived there) were trying to salt the fields of their yard with cigarette butts. I told him that we were all actually Roman, and that soon the horse would be arriving for us to gallop around and torch the surrounding houses yelling "Veni Vedi Vici".
He laughed.
I laughed.
It was beautiful.

I just remembered the password to my LJ.
We had some fun times, my LJ and I... but that was at least 2 years ago. Now I have uptonia.com, but I may pick this back up.
Because hey, livejournals are fun.

Today I got to spend a fun filled holiday celebration with my annoying cousins [boo] and my mountain cousins [yay]. I could give you all the details of the festivities, but I'm working on a new layout for my webpage.
Yay. Everyone go look.

03:49 pm - Bad, Bad Goland
:: looks at scratches and cuts on hands ::
Yesterday was interesting. I spent a total of 11 hours at the Garner Ice house. That is way too much time. The show went well, but setting up was a major pain in the ass. If it wasn't for Val and Britt, I would have cried. Since majority of you people have no idea what I'm talking you, let me give you a mental picture.
Imagine three girls in the back of the ice rink, in the zamboni room trying to rip sharp, pointy gold balls out of sharp, pointy garland that is tangling around our feets. Two of the girls are teenagers, therefore allowed to act stupid, and the third is married and in her mid 20's, but can get over this fact and still act stupid. So we're sitting there, messing with garland that has these nasty little gold balls/wines intertwined in it that we don't like. After getting scratched, stabbed, and poked with the stuff, our minds are on the hatred of the evil of christmas - garland. This is when Val decideds to command our new nemesis, but proclaiming "Bad goland!" or "STay goland!" which just brought hysterics from the three of us.
Ah, good times.
Going out for dinner tonight with my friends to celebrate my upcoming eighteenth birthday. Much fun. December 23rd, that's monday. Better send gifts while you still can ;o)

01:40 pm
Well folks today was it. I'm finally done with exams. I'm sure you can all understand my joy at this fact. This will be the very last set of midterms that I take in high school. What a good thing!
But as soon as one thing is done, another comes up. Friday is the rink's big Christmas show. I am petrified. My skating group is looking quite far from polished, and I have an entire set to put up on Friday. So what am I doing about that now? Working all day on updating my webpage. I've been working all week on the damn Christmas show, today is my day off.
Another important event in the near future, Monday is my birthday! Feel free to send numerous things off my wishlist my way... haha i wish! But it is, I'll be eighteen years old. A legalized adult. Scary thought. The first of my birthday celebrations too place at the rink on Tuesday, my skating kids threw me a birthday party. This was all fine and dandy [I was quite touched really], but Stefani accidently bumped into her mom while holding the cake... sending it spiraling down face first into the nasty Ice House floor. Haha. After a long day of rehersal for the show, it was humorous. I laughed. Stefani's mom laughed, and Stefani cried. But alas all was well in the end, the rink girls ate the top layer of the cake in handfuls and went home on their merry little ways.

07:23 pm - it's the most wonderful time of the year?
Last night I found myself saying something I never thought would utter out of my mouth.
I hate Christmas
After a long day of hunting, 8 hours total of sleep in 3 days, and a set of twins dribbling basketballs behind me in Walmart as I was trying to find cheap garland and decent decorations for the Christmas show, I found myself saying those very words. And I was shocked. Shocked! I love Christmas, I always have... but why does everything happen all at once during December? At this very minute I'm up to my ears in make up work, studying for exams, doing the christmas show, planning my 18th birthday [which is suppossed to be very monumental... but I find myself forgetting about it lately. that's another story], and trying to find time to shop for my family and friends.
When I actually get out and start shopping, I discover that it's not christmas I hate... it's Christmas shopping. Last night I hit Walmart, Target, Michael's and Barnes & Noble. For the girl who hates shopping, this is a monumental occurance. Out of four stores, I did not find anything to buy for my family. Only whiney kids, screaming mothers, and unfriendly clerks [Welcome To WalMart. You now have to reach behind the counter to get your bag because there's no way in hell the check out lady will making leaving the hell hole any easier for you when she's stucking doing a price check for a penny pincher on a box of .89 cereal].
:: sigh ::
Tis the season to be jolly?

08:56 pm - making cute little critters!
Hello, my name is Lauren Upton & I'm a senior.
I can't do homework. I can't apply for scholarships. I can't pay attention in classes. I listen to my favorite teacher telling me to work, thne sit there with my friends and blatantly ignore him. I write two and a half pages on the French Revolution, and forget what I wrote not ten seconds after turning it in.
It's official, I've got senioritis.
That was pretty much my day. Dodging work, ignoring teachers, and making one random comment in English ['very insightful Lauren!'] while I sit and write poetry for the remainder of sixth period. But senioritis really isn't such a bad thing.
Look at the advantages...
* You don't get stressed out.
* You don't get those annoying hand cramps.
* There's no possibility of rejection when you don't apply to anywhere.
* Cattle Ranchers in Montana don't require a Batchelor of Fine Arts! Woo!
Actually I lie. I do care... just not about school. I care about my file sitting in the undergraduate admissions office at North Carolina State University. I care about my horse who has been neglected due to time constraints, weather, and lack of motivation. I care about the christmas show that is to take place on Friday, December 20th.
And I care about making these cute little adoptable critters that I've sticking up on my webpage. I have bettas and ponies right now. Go Look.

03:03 pm - bow down to my brilliance
i was thoroughly shocked today.
you see, we had a 2 hour delay, which meant i didn't have to get up until 8:00. This is a good thing. What is not a good thing is the fact that I awoke with a hacking cough, sore throat, and runny nose. Yes, sleeping in 56* weather three nights in a row will indeed give you a cold. So I get to school ultimately grumpy because I realized on the way there that we probably would have the AP European test today, and I had to cram.
At lunch I drove Stephanye and we were going to meet everyone at Bojangles but that didn't work out. You see, us weird high schoolers have grown accustomed to eating lunch at 10:30 with no crowds besides other highschoolers. Today was different! This might be a shocker, but people normally eat lunch around 12:00! Which was exactally what time we had to go to lunch today with the 2hr delay. Needless to say it was very crowded and I got strange looks as I talked to myself in line about the Enlightenment period and French Revolution.
I got to AP Euro and we didn't have the test afterall. I guess that's good, but by that time the cold medicine I took in the morning had worn off and I was feeling miserable.
This feeling lasted until sixth period. Mrs.Mobley was talking about something and all I was hearing was "blah blah blah," because I was too busy shivering in the back of the room. She's "hot-blooded" so apparantly that means she has to have a window open when the weather is in the 40's.
But something fell on my desk, and I stared in amazement. It was my research paper... oh my. I have never, I repeat never gotten above an 80 on a research paper. Even in the glorious days of Mr.Parrish's english class, it just doesn't happen to me. When I looked at the rubric all I could say was 'holy shit'.
The grade my friends, was a 97. A 97.
Finally, there is evidence of my brilliance in the world. I am still in shock.

12:38 pm - MOTHER NATURE YOU SUCK!
I can not,
I repeat,
CAN NOT take any final exams this year. I have to take midterms, and I've come to terms with that... but if seniors have good attendance then we get to be exempt from finals. Believe me, it's a wonderful thing. But now the wonderful wcpss is threatening to take vacation days off of our spring break. I will be in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic during spring break. You can't exactally leave a trip like that a few days early to come back to school.
So if I happen to miss any days of my spring break b/c I'm still over seas then I will probably have to take final exams. NOT COOL!
On top of that, this god damn weather has gotten me way behind in school & work. THIS IS NORTH CAROLINA! WE DON'T HAVE HARSH WINTERS HERE! But now they're predicting sleet on monday/tuesday.
damn damn double damn.

04:58 pm - rink rats, white oleanders, and sore throats
i've been reading White Oleander for most of the day. it's a very good book. so far i've been impressed. it's not a petty, popular book like a lot of the fiction on the stands right now... but it's very artistic. the characters are very diverse and have lots of depth and the language used to describes things is absolutely wonderful. got it yesterday afternoon and i'm about half way through.
i'm proud of myself. i'm beginning to read like a writer.
on another note... i'm getting sick. sore throat, cough, and hacky voice to top it off. wasn't so bad until i had to go to the rink today to teach a birthday lesson. they're only 15 minutes [i get paid $15 each, wee!] so i was expecting to be outta there by 1:30 latest. too bad the stupid people didn't want their damn lesson until 2:00pm. i was so annoyed. on top of that i had to scream at all those bratty little kids, which killed my throat.
oh well, i'm going over to brittany's in about 30 minutes to spend the night and kill brain cells in front of video games. woo. don't think i'll have time to finish the website this weekend, which is sad. i have to devote all of tomorrow to ap european. haven't touched my terms list since tuesday.
yes, i'm a bad student.

04:08 pm - oh sweet, wonderful electricity!
I AM SAVED!
Just now... not one hour ago, our power turned back on. That's right folks! Booring 'ol North Carolina just had one of the "worst ice storms the electric companies have ever seen". I don't know about the bad ice [the roads have been clear for 2 days now...] but damn it was cold in this house!.
But alas, everything is wonderful again. The heat is on... the lights are on... the computer is on. Things are lovely! Erin's phone is still down though... I might hop over there and rescue her soon. Rescuing is good. But right now I'm gonna work some more on the website, my goal was to get it finished thsi weekend. The power splurge put me a little behind schedule.
The thing I'm most thankful for is the fact that my fish didn't die.. woo! The bettas were not looking good. They were fading fast. Maybe because the water temp was 58... ouch! I lighted a candle next to Yucky's tank to warm him up some [it's generally not a good thing when they're lying horizontally ont he gravel], and coincidentaly almost burned it down. When I got home there was a huge black spot on the plastic... oh well it whiped off!

11:29 pm - a drunken davenport.... and moses
:: chants ::
SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY!
we have no school tomorrow and this is absolutely wonderful! I am going to sleep late, work on my new website and do ap european homework. yay! well... except for the ap european part. speaking of that class... funny story!
today davenport told us about how he was in prague on his birthday, and him and his friend went out and got totally hammered. i'm not sure why he chose to tell that [ii'm thinking it could get him in trouple with the wcpss...], or what relevance it had... but hey whatever floats your boat. it wasted time. wasting time is good.
for those of you who normally look at my livejournal aside from your friends list... it will look ugly. i made it to stick into my webpage [which is why it is so plain and ugly]. i think this only applies to erin sager.
ERIN SAGER STOP BEING ANONYMOUS AND GET A FRICKIN' LIVEJOURNAL!
and while i'm on the subject of erin sager, who by the way seems to have mysteriously disappeared.... i would like to end on this note.
What Moses really said when he got back down from writing the 10 commandments...
"Oh Lord... WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING PEOPLE DOING WITH THAT GOD DAMN COW?!"
