"Gazebo is a funny word"

My weekend was pretty fun.

My brother & I drove up to our cottage to help build this gazebo-type-thing that my uncle is so keen on making. it took most of saturday to make... and I got so many splinters, it's surreal. I also got a little hammer-happy and hit my pinky finger. The moral of that story was Lauren + tools = BAD NEWS. it was rainy, so i didn't get to swim in the lake, but I did lay on the beach & watch the sunset with my cottage buddy Alexa. I also got a pound of sand in my camera, so now it doesn't zoom any more... It's so sad.

I also went into town and bought a new wallet, incase you care.

haha okay, more later. Lovessssss ya!

About my Parents...

She would turn up the music as loud as it could go
the feeling of pure elation radiating through her body
as the chorus echoed, her smile grew wider
and she couldn't help but dance
Oh God how she would dance
He would watch her from across the room
his smile matching hers; his adoring gaze following her every move
their eyes met and she grabbed his strong hands in hers
the two of them began to dance
Oh God how they would dance.

the Gathering

Alrighty, so today I went to my Friend Caitlin's "End of year-Start of Summer pool gathering" yeahh... it was a gathering. Not quite big enough or loud enough for a party, but more than just a simple hanging out... Yes, there is a science to these kinda things.

Anyways, I had fun.

Me & my friend Steph also spent most of the day preparing for the Jonas concert in July! (7 days until the concert BTW) Haha, so we made a list of stuff we need to do, It goes a little something like this:

1. Establish bus routes to get to the venue early that morning
2. Make large posters with clever sayings on them
3. make t-shirts with glow in the dark paint
4. buy glowsticks & other flashing accesories

Haha okay, that's it for now. catch ya on the flip side yo!

Cap 'n gowns

It was my Brother's Highschool Grad today... The whole ordeal was kind of dull & overrated, and filled with girls crying & hugging (even though they'll most likely see each other over the summer) It was kinda nice I guess to see the next generation all dressed up & looking spiffy, offering some-what of a bright outlook for the future of Canada.

I guess when it's my turn to graduate in 2 years, I'll probably be the same way, an emotional train wreck, mascara running down my cheek, hugging all of my friends & making up with my enemies & the like... Only hopefully I'll remember to wear waterproof mascara.

And now my brother is off to bigger & better things, and is one step closer to that "real world" that adults and reality TV shows are always talking about. He's going to college to be in Radio Broadcasting. If he becomes a radio announcer, I'll definitely call in to his show and ask awkward questions :)

Alright, well I'm in a writing kinda mood... so I'm gonna go write chapter two in my newest story. Loveeeee ya!

Behemoth, Shmemoth.

Soooooo Today I went t0 Canada's Wonderland (a theme park) with My cousins Jess & Nate, and Nate's girl friend Elise. It was a little awkward at times when we were in line and the conversation was at a lull... but all in all it was fun times.

We were in line for 2 hours for the newest ride called the Behemoth. It's the biggest rollercoaster in Canada & the big drop is decending at 85 degrees! it was SOOOOOO fun, I can't even begin to explain.

Nothing much is planned for tomorrow... I think I'm just gonna chill at home, watch Gilmore Girls season seven & babysit Bella. (baby sister) Hrmmmmm... You know what I need? a new book. I've read just about everything in my house and I will NOT resort to those damn Chicken Soup for the Soul books that my Mom loves so much... *shudders*

ight, later home skillet.

School's out!

I PASSED :)

It's official, Grade ten is over, done, finished, a distant memory on the road of my scholary life (is scholary even a word?) Anyways, just thought I'd let you know. So let the fun commence!

I'm going to go see the Love Guru today at the Movies, so I'll tell you how that is. No offence to Mike Meyers or anything, but it honestly does not look promising. We shall see i guess.

Ciao For Now.

Procrastination is the key...

Right now I should be studying for my Canadian History exam that I have tomorrow... But I have been bitten by the procrastination bug & there is no turning back now. I've already youtubed for over an hour, written another chapter in my newest short fiction novel (yeah, I'm a writer) AND I've cleaned my room... twice.

I have ALSO made some plans for the impending summer. I'm going to Canada's wonderland on tuesday, my friend's pool party on wednsday, Jonas concert on July 4th (so excited) & I'm going to New York in a few weeks (my first time in the city). It'll be funnnnn.

Ughh I really should start outlining the essay portion of the Exam, but nothing is more boring than Canada's evolving role in the Global community -TRUST ME.

Well, I'll talk to y'all again once I pass history. Over & out.

Hola!

Welcome to my newest blog!

Is anyone reading this, probably not... but in a way, I guess that's a good thing. You see, I like to rant on and on about non-sensical things, point out the obvious, talk about my life (or lack there of) and spell big words incorrectly. Most people do not enjoy said things, but if you do... Boy are you in for a treat!

Haha, so Yeah I'm Lauren. I'm from Toronto Canada, and if you look up "hermit" in the dictionary, you'd probably see my picture... I'm not a loner or anything so to speak; I'm just a home body. I like my house, there is nothing wrong with that. But with my 10th grade year winding down to a triumphant finish, and summer poking it's head around that corner, I've made a resolution. (and I know resolutions are made at the start of a new year blah blah blah... but this one's a tad bit belated)

My resolution is to get out there and have FUN. I mean, I have friends... I should spend more time with them before they forget what I look like or something. I want to have the perfect summer (wow that's cliche) I want to stay up all night with my friends, and drink lots of coke, and jump on a trampoline, and teepee someone's house, and go to the beach, and sleep until noon, and go on a road trip!

Anyways, I'll be using this blog to doccument my summer & maybe a little bit more. It'll be interesting, I can assure you that. So check up on this blog every once in a while, and hopefully everything will shift into motion. I guess i should probably pass grade 10 first though. My last exam is on Monday, and after that I'm home free!

Wish me Luck!!!
