Pep-Talk

So I went to Canada's Wonderland YET AGAIN today... I went with my good friend Cheryl. We had some majorly good times. My amazing uncle gave me $50 to spend on whatever, so we played Wack-a-mole for almost a good hour... Good news, we won a Giant green unicorn & a slightly more pathetic green unicorn!... Bad news... Cheryl got to keep the giant one, and I kept the pathetic one. I named him Bruno... He just looked like a burno to me.

Hmm, so registration for school is tomorrow, Signifying the start of grade 11, and the impending doom of my future... All in all my summer was really fun! I went to a few cool places, chilled with some cool people, did some awesome things. It may not have been the whole cliché best summer ever (... or is it clichè? I dunno which way the accent goes, I only got a 74% in grade 10 french) but it was definitely worth remembering. I'll never forget waiting like a hobo for 12 hours in downtown Toronto to see the Jonas Brothers, and seeing the New York skyline for the very first time. I'll never forget meeting Bret Ryan (did I tell you about that?) or spending hours beside my pool, urgently trying to tan away the paleness of my olive skin... oh and the first time Baby-Bella said my name.

This summer was full of millions of jokes that I will probably never remember, with people I know I won't ever forget. So now I guess I'm refreshed, the old Lauren wiped away... in her place is a new girl with new experiences & a new lease on life (CORNY) haha but seriously... I'm ready for whatever this year has to throw at me.

My life drastically changed, with 3 sudden additions to my intricately woven family, and a few heartwrenching losses scattered inbetween. Home has been torn upside down, and I'm not so sheltered to the world outside my house's four walls any more... But I know that none of it will phase me. I'm living this life for me now... thriving in these horrid conditions & choosing to rise above as the dust still chooses not to settle.

So now I have but only two words for you, destiny... BRING IT.

C-R-A-Z-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!

You know you have a problem when:

You constantly hear voices of your celebrity idols in your head... not just their music, oh no... that's too normal, but when you actually have conversations with them.

I AM INSANE!

I don't know why, but yesterday I spent the whole day conversing with a fictional version of Kevin Jonas. Not out loud or anything, but in my mind, we were having a nice little chat. He made comments about the random things that I did & we seemed to hit it off... He said my brother seemed like a cool guy, and he said that my room is wicked sweet.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

It's not even like I'm one of those obsessed fan-girls who thinks that I'm destined to marry a Jonas Brother. I just really like their music & what they stand for & crap like that...

Yeah... I need to see a therapist, PRONTO.

I'm going to my friend's sweet 16 party today, I wonder if Kevin will make an appearance in my mind today? Maybe make comments about the cake? or maybe it'll be Joe this time...

Dazed & confused,

livin up the last day

Went to Canada's Wonderland again today... Canada's most rockin' theme park. It was a lot of fun... until it started raining.

So me & the besities spent like, 2 hours in the gift stores there being idiots!

Today is the last day of official summer vacation, so I have to make the best of it. Going to my friend Angela's house in a little while. She has the BIGGEST collection of video games I have EVER seen, so that'll be fun! I can't wait to try out Madden o9... my brother has it, but he won't let me play it... stupid older brothers.

And Angela has the pirated version of the new star wars movie "The Clone Wars"... I'm a total star wars dork, so she's going to let me borrow it! SWEETNESS :)

Ooh and I wrote this today, Dunno if it's crap or not but I need to post it SOMEWHERE.

Silent Tears

The empty notes ring among the shallow darkness
As a single tear rolls down her cheek
She can comprehend his pain
But more importantly, She can feel her own
Another tear gently falls as her lips begin to move
No sound daring to escape
Still her torment is laced into every word, every line
But while you don’t even know...

...Neither does she.

The 3rd First Impression

The only good thing about the whole "Back to School" ordeal is the anual chance to redefine yourself, your style, and your attitude.

I spent countless hours at the mall today going clothes shopping... Not to impress my generation x classmates, but to really figure out who I wanted to be this year... What kind of image I wanted to portray... etc etc.

I mean, honestly, we ALL make those first day back judgments & observations like:
"She lost weight over the summer, she looks really good"
"He got a haircut... it was better before"
"so & so has a faux hawk... who are they trying to be?"

You put your best foot foreward so to speak, to determine how you will be percieved for the rest of the academic year. So socially speaking, the first day of school is VERY curcial. It's another chance at a first impression.

So while most people are sitting at home, dreading the first day of school, I'm busy planning & internalizing for it. It's really not the first day of school that we should be worried about... it's the 2nd day that's the problem.

Forever yours

.... so I wrote a song

True Inspiration
Melodies, constantly darting through your veins
As music leeches into your opened soul
Honesty is the one catalyst that remains
And to spread that message is your goal

You are my true inspiration
My one allocation
In a world where lies are the cornerstone
Modesty is your name
The Media is your game
Diving head first into the oblique unknown

Your days don’t end when the sun disappears
Rest is a rarity few and far between
Just a further quality to be revered
Another facet that was left unseen

You are my true inspiration
My one allocation
In a world where lies are the cornerstone
Modesty is your name
The Media is your game
Diving head first into the oblique unknown

Don’t ever put down that guitar
It’s a piece of who you are

Your beauty never ceases to astound me
The perfect style, that perfect smile
Your name shines brightly on that marquee
You just know it’s going to be worthwhile

Don’t ever put down that guitar
It’s a piece of who you are

You are my true inspiration
My one allocation
In a world where lies are the cornerstone
Modesty is your name
The Media is your game
Diving head first into the oblique unknown

You are my true inspiration.


Think of it what you may, feedback is lovely. High five and I am outtie (for realz this thime)

skool makes you sooper smart

SCHOOL STARTS IN 6 DAYS!


The agony is slowly setting in... and I am slowly coming out of denial mode, and into sad mode. And of course, I have to go to the one school in my whole district that starts a week early... joy.


I think we should all team up in a large school bus tipping effort:

Looks like I can't get to school today... darn.

Registration is on Monday, I'll post my shedule & stuff. I'm hoping for all easy classes first semester... it'll bode better with the summer-to-schoolyear-transition-process... I copyright that cluster of words.

ANYWHO i should be hitting the ole' dudsty trail... PEACEOUTDUDEMAN!
