Five Things:
1. Katamari Damacy. Specifically the music. And when you pick up cities, all the people scream.
2. Surprise wings!
3. Meeting the parents of the kids I’m watching all summer while extremely hungover.
4. Napping. (I think from now on we can just assume that napping is part of my five every day so I don’t have to document it.)
5. Jess, Sebastian and Hayley.

Five Things:
1. Pretty Chinese restaurants.
2. When you add “in bed” to the end of fortunes.
3. Going to bed at 4 and waking up at noon. This is good for avoiding people.
4. Pearl earrings.
5. Fishnet tights. I’m going to make them look classy somehow so I can wear them casually in public.
Day 25: My day started at noon because I went to bed at 4 in the morning and forced myself to sleep until then. When I woke up I watched some Hulu stuff including If I Can Dream and some of Late Night. Then I brought up a small fish tank from downstairs and cleaned it because I need to transfer my fish into it for a little bit. I also contemplated for a while what I’m going to do with this fish gift certificate and if I should even clean this tank out at all. For breakfast/lunch I ate some chex mix, v8, and a turkey provolone grilled cheese. Then I took a shower. After my shower I played some Katamari and ended up finishing the game. At 5 I drove to my grandma’s house to meet her, my aunt and my mom to go to P.F. Chang’s for dinner. I drank water and white tangerine tea, then I ate crunchy green beans, vegetables and tofu with rice, and a lemon cheesecake shot thing for dessert. The whole time everyone was criticizing my life and my mom told me I could lose a few pounds. We went back to my grandma’s house and watched my aunt open birthday presents. I also talked to Jess on the phone for a little bit. I drove home recklessly in the pouring rain and listened to a Deathcab for Cutie song which I never realized was so so so sad. At home I took another shower and tripped over my dog when I stepped out because he was laying right there for some reason. I didn’t care because it was cute and he was afraid of the rain. Then I looked at tumblr for a little bit. Then I dried my hair while listening to music from Katamari Damacy. Then I played some more Katamari Damacy. After two seconds of that I watched Requiem For A Dream which was a bad idea because I will probably have crazy nightmares tonight. Then I wrote this blog. Probably going to bed whenever I get bored. Not very eventful day.

4. When my grandma gives me secret $20 bills.

Five Things:
1. The color of tea. This tea was “A magical blend of hibiscus, lemongrass, rose hips, mango & passion fruit” and it was hot pink.
2. My Egypt by Charles Demuth...1927. It reminds me of Jess’ favorite building and I like how he fragmented the image to resemble a cubism painting. Precisionism! I’m going to ace this test.
3. Napping. But I never liked or was able to nap before this week.
4. Moles. My favorites include the one on my finger, the one on my foot, and the one on my lower lower lower back.
5. Cooking. In the past hour I made Jess some delicious “thank you” food, and I’m currently baking cookies.
Day 20: Studying.

2. My new way of determining if something is right or wrong.

4. This will be my first repeat in this blog ever, but wearing tights and shorts with boots. My most comfortable outfit and today was perfect for it.
5. I think I’ll regret this later, but my sister. Since I never see her, we get along so well. I can relate to her hating high school right now and what she’s going through with her friends.

Five (Very Specific) Things:
1. Sleeping with things next to my head. Specifically school related items. I don’t quite understand this myself, but I think it makes me feel like I’m being productive, which is just a joke.
2. My outfit today in great detail. Bright pink earrings, bright pink lipstick, lots of eyeliner (no shadow), gray tank top with neon yellow sweater, jean mini skirt that would not pass the grandpa test, gray tights and purple boots. I’m probably wearing most of this tomorrow too.
3. When you get to write an essay, and you like writing it and you don’t want to stop. You never get to choose your own topic and I was about to painfully write 7 pages on people magazine…but instead I’m writing about vodka advertisements from the 70’s and today. I’m not bored yet!
4. While watching Glee, the moment you can immediately tell what the whole entire plot of the show is going to be. I wonder what song they are going to sing on the Madonna episode where they stress how everyone’s a virgin…?
5. When Casey buys chipotle, she always gets a burrito bowl and never finishes it so I get to. Every time.

5. I have many papers due next week and it’s the 2nd to last week of school. I also have jury duty next week. Someone shoot me now please. Jury duty mean I can't go to class...
I found a list of questions (a survey) and you’re supposed to answer one every day so I’m going to answer them on here, but I won’t put the question. You could probably guess most of them anyway.

It was difficult to come up with five today. I’ve realized it’s always easier to come up with five things I hate. So the goal of this blog is going to be to try and reverse that. It should be easy to come up with five favorite things every day. I’m sure tomorrow will be better.
Five Things (From Yesterday):
1. GETTING 100% ON EXAMSSS!
2. Middle nicknames. Not “Crunchy” necessarily…
3. Blue Tostitos chips and sweet onion salsa.
4. Naked mango juice.
5. Akron’s perfect dress weather compared to Kent’s awful dress weather.
1. Dog yawns.
2. All my lomography photos, good and bad.

3. Ska is dead.

Telling You Things.
|
First of all, can we talk about how beautiful this day is?* It’s barely forty degrees but the sun is out and I didn’t have to wear a coat! I just threw on a nasty hoodie and walked out the door. Everyone has been so nice too. And all the gorgeous tweets from today! My friends eat so much good food and beautifully describe their days. I only wish I could be sitting on a poop vent right now with a vitamin water….Ahhh can the world be like this every day?
After another funtastic weekend**with the best people in the world and the best FRIES in the world, I had to start some major homework. But more about these fries…I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my entire life than sitting on that bed with amazing friends and amazing fries. I’m not joking. This time, they came with this garlic concoction. I would do ANYTHING for these fries.
It seems like every week I have a bunch of important homework to do. Not just reading but writing and researching and writing some more. This week I have a major paper and presentation due on Thursday. I’m going to try and finish it by Wednesday though so I don’t have to worry about it that day. The best day of the week.
ALSO. Spring break is next week so I intend on seeing my friends as much as possible. Mmk?
Out.
*I don’t know…caaan we?
**I would like to explain here that it was not 100% perfect because my Jess was not there. I would also like to sincerely apologize for making her think that we were coming to get here for said fantastic night. SOSORRYGURLLL. <333

Beck.
|
Beck’s website is the best thing that has ever happened to me* and I visit it almost every day. My favorite part of the site is Planned Obsolescence. It’s basically a bunch of songs played next to eachother that last about 20 to 30 minutes.
This tumblr post by Why They’re Hot explains EVERYTHING perfectly that I could not explain myself…
1. His hair. Holy shit. Like golden locks of sunlight and his kid has the same beautiful golden curls as well.
2. His music. He’s a fucking amazing songwriter-no one writes badass lyrics like Beck does. He wrote one of the saddest love songs ever-and his work is so prolific. Holy shit, did he just go from rock to metal to soul to country to folk to punk to rap to funk and back to rock again? You bet your ass he did. And he pulls it all off too-although there’s some more we’d like to see him pull off in the future…
3. His eyes. Take a good look. Can you even imagine those big blue eyes staring straight into your soul as he fucks you? Just thinking about it makes you want to tear your clothes off.
4. His voice. His vocal range goes from deliciously low to ridiculously high-all of it totally orgasmic. Mournful and grunge-y or soft and melodic, it all makes you want him in your pants.
5. The last reason? The whole package. Cute as hell, kind of nerdy, yet sexy as fuck. He’s almost too good to be true. Take a good last look at this man. Here, here, here, here, and here. That’s right - you just witnessed Beck motherfucking Hansen.
*okay, I might be exaggerating. (see what I did there, Jess?)
This Is How Lauren Studies For Art History:
|
I don’t think I have ever studied this hard. Or I just don’t remember it. I was given a study guide yesterday for an exam TOMORROW. So I’ve been studying all day long on my day off. The only food I’ve consumed is half a bog of conversation hearts (THANKS JESSGURRRLL) and some Dr. Pepper. Since I find unusual joy in making flashcards, I spent a good two hours making these. Forty four images, forty four artists, and forty four dates must be memorized by TONIGHT! I think I’m a visual learner so all of these are color coordinated by time period/chapter. One side has the image, and the other has the name, date, and artist. I actually need to know plenty more information, but that would take way too long to study and I’m betting I can just make up the rest!
My strategy going into this was to make groups of ten cards or so and memorize group by group. This seemed to work very well. So I line them up by date order and go through the line over and over and over and over and over until they are all memorized. This is working quite well. I just hope I still know it all by morning :/
When I was memorizing all this stuff, I was also thinking about my future. Why do I need to know “The Birth of the Virgin” by Lorenzetti was made in 1342, or Donatello’s “David” which was made in 1460? It just seems so useless. I mean, I don’t know why I am in college just yet so I’m just going with the flow. I don’t know why I need to take Art Survey I yet, but who knows, it could be useful someday, right? If not, knowing all these facts makes me feel pretty extraordinary! I also hope that I won’t be wasting any more time next year taking classes that feel useless.
2/22 PS. I got the exam back today and got a B-. Not bad considering the circumstances. Next time I’ll do the same thing.

Today was a little better. I still don't have a bed, I still feel awkward in my own house because of the guests and I still can't get this weekend back, but it's over now and hopefully this coming week will be another adventure.

This is Penelope/Penny. She likes to dance to The Cardigans and Ke$ha in my webcam.
I’m Just Gonna Complain Now, Okay?
|
Some of my family is staying here for the weekend and I’m stuck here in the house. I’m all alone and Penny is asleep upstairs in my room. Mikey is blocked from going upstairs and waking her up so he keeps pacing this room and crying. I also don’t have a place to sleep as of right now. So while my whole family is off doing fun things, I get to sit here all by myself with this crazy dog. People always just expect that I have nothing else better to do. I want to sleep in my bed.

Eye Shadow.
|
Makeup is so much fun. I feel sorry for boys because it is socially unacceptable for them to wear eye shadow. I’ve had so much fun the past couple of days just putting on eyeshadow. It makes the day go from “UGH I have to go to schooool” to “UGH I have to go to schooool....but I’m gonna look good!”
I think it was around August I bought a ridiculous amount of very nice eyeshadow for about $20. This was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time, but I never appreciated it until now. This thing contains the prettiest colors I’ve ever seen in my life! And with a little help from Michelle Phan, I kindof know how to use it now. (When I say kindof, I mean not really at all but it seems to work pretty well despite that…)
So since I’ve re-fallen in love with this eye shadow palette, I’ve been making every day a different theme according to colors. This would be the shirt I wear, the earrings and rings, the eye shadow, and of course it has to match purple boots. So far these are my favorite:
Neon Yellow + Bright Purple
Dark Green + Bright Purple
Dark Green + Hot Pink
Saturday was pretty fun because I think I wore every beautiful color imaginable combined.
Today is Hot Pink + Hot Pink + Hot Pink.
And black goes with everythaang. Loves it.
So the moral of the story is that if you wear nice bright colors and create a style for yourself every day so you feel somewhat pretty, it is a lot easier to get through the day at the school you chose to go to because you’re an idiot. Seriously regretting that decision.
While I believe my taste in style is going up, my taste in music is definitely going DOWN. I’ve been obsessed with making playlists including artists that are severely overplayed on Kiss FM. My latest mix includes:
3- Britany Spears
Party in the USA & Time of Our Lives- Miley Cyrus
Battlefield- Jordan Sparks
Lots of Ke$ha
Lots of Demi Lovato
And much more…
Without the bright colors, shower dance parties, and Wednesdays in my life right now I would probably be a mess. Life feels good right now.
This is how I want every day to feel.

Detroit was scary, cold, and FUN. Here is just a taste of it from the fisheye and camera phone.
^^^^PROFILE PIC JESS^^^^
There is still a roll from the fisheye that has some Detroit on it that I haven’t finished yet…And from this adventure I realized that that dumb camera is pretty much useless when used inside. The flash is pointless. I’m so glad we did this!

Today I went to the zoo! The best day to go is on the cold rainy days because NO ONE IS THERE. Sure all the animals are soggy and cold, but they are still there and I think they like the company.
I also had the best taco bell that I can remember.
So this job thing is getting weird. I called the lady and left her a voicemail saying I was not interested in a photography internship, but I was still available for the student assistant job that I applied for. That was Friday morning, and I still haven’t heard back from her. I’m getting nervous. I just don’t want to have to go look for another job, especially since this one sounds so perfect for my situation.
I Don't Want To Sleep!!!

Blogging while bored makes for boring blogs but so what!!!
Every day around 7 o’clock is when the boredom hits. I wish there was something to do.
Today I:
-Woke up around 3AM and read 13 TWEETS. So much fun. That should happen every morning. I then woke up again at 8 and read 3 more. Best morning ever for reading the tweets. I love my friends and I love reading what they do in the middle of the night.
-Every morning I watch hulu stuff while still lying in bed. So of course I watched Conan’s last show as host of The Tonight Show. It was beautiful. The best show ever. It was perfect. Will Farrell and Tom Hanks were lovely, and Neil Young was old and amazing. BUT WAIT. GUESS WHO ELSE WAS THERE. BECK. I’m such a loser, I almost cried when I saw Beck there. He was barely part of the show. He just stood there and played his guitar without saying a word, but I could not take my eyes off of him. If Beck was not such a musical genius I would not be attracted to him whatsoever, but that is not the case and I find him very alluring.
You see, I don’t find this “scarecrow chic” thing attractive, but because it’s Beck, I REALLY DO.
-Then I took a shower.
- I was playing the drums like a little girl and then my phone rang. I danced to Ke$ha (more on her later) for a few seconds and picked up the phone. It was Hayley, and we then went to the e-check place and Panera.
- Then I went home and ate some more.
- Then I took another shower. I am so bored, that I always take more than one shower a day.
-I then spent an hour dedicated to Ke$ha time and did some research. On Itunes, she has a celebrity playlist which persuaded me even more to try and be this girl. She mentions that “Single Ladies” is the best pop song of all time and she wrote a Miley Cyrus song that I love. I came to the conclusion that she is a very professional artist. Yes she is crazy and psycho, but she cares a lot about the music she makes and she has good ideas and lots of passion.
- While looking like a nasty wet thing, Casey decided to bring ALL of her friends over to keep me company in the living room. I proceeded to gush over Ke$ha and they had to listen.
-I listened to “Tell Her This”. And cried. Such a beautiful song. I remember listening to this song one night about 70 times in a row. Lame I know.
- I watched a lot of Teen Mom.
- Now it’s 11:32 and I’m surprised I’m still awake. I feel left out when I go to bed early, I don’t know why. But there is no point staying up when there’s nothing to do but refresh twitter over and over again.
- I feel like talking right now, but oh well.
BED TIME <3

Currently feeling: UGHHHgfjghdfj.
I’ve never been this bored in my whole life, except for yesterday maybe. (Minus watching Good Burger with Jess.) This morning I woke up at 8:50!!! I really liked going to bed at 2ish and waking up at 11ish. I really miss that. I do what I do every morning when I wake up and grabbed my phone to check what was tweeted in the middle of the night. I would have tweeted what I dreamt, but I did not remember. Then I continued to lay in bed for 2 more hours and watch hulu stuff, check facebook, read blogs, blah blah blah. I then got my ass out of bed around 11 and made breakfast for Casey and i. My favorite thing to do is make lots of bacon, lots of hash browns, and put it in a huge pile on a pan and then dump eggs and cheese on it. Then you just get a big delicious pile of breakfast. MMM. I pretty much stayed in my room for the rest of the day. Hulu added 9 episodes of Intervention to my queue and I think I watched every single one of them. If not, I’m going to later tonight for sure. Such a boring day.
Tomorrow I’m going to visit this lady about getting a job at Akron. I’m 90% sure I’ve got this in the bag, but I don’t know if it will be the best choice hours/pay wise. We’ll see. Busy day tomorrow. I have a lot to think about.
And my clothes haven’t arrived yet :(
So Many Things!
|
When I only had a dollar in my bank account, I didn’t need to buy anything and I didn’t have to buy anything. Now that I have a lot of money in my bank account, I want so many things!
-Katamari Damacy (check)
-DS GAMESSS
-Film/get film developed
-Headphones! Funny, I didn’t need them two days ago and now I do…
-Blank CD’s. I’ve recently discovered that mix CD’s are absolutely essential.
-A place to live with my friends <3
Since we’re on the topic of buying things, I had a gift card for Forever21 for $35 and I got so many good things! Two v-necks, a sweatshirt, three flower rings, and three pairs of flower earrings. I’m so excited to get them. I have a lot of mail coming my way. Mail is so much fun. It’s like Christmas. You get to open up something fun and it is so much fun that you forget that you had to pay for it!
Katamari Damacy. It is so weird guys. It’s in English, but I still don’t understand it. I think the narration was translated from Japanese or some other language because most of it just doesn’t make sense! Basically you have to replace a bunch of stars in the cosmos by rolling around this ball thing called a Katamari and it picks up stuff that you roll over. You start off small and pick up small things like paperclips. Then you get really big and can pick up houses and people. Then you put it in the sky. The music is the best part hands down. It is so much fun! I would recommend this game just for the music!
I’ve also started classes since my last post. I only have four classes and 14 credit hours but it seems like it’s going to be really hard.
English is great so far. The grad student teacher is really cool, we’re in a computer lab, everyone is cool, and I sit next to Ke$ha. I swear. We’re going to be best friends. Today we talked about Helen Keller the whole class. I mean we talked about important language things, but we also debated whether she was faking it or not.
Archeology of Rome is weird. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to be learning…art? Maybe? The lady is cool, but there are so many papers and presentations. And I’m sure I’m the youngest person in there, the only one who isn’t an archeology major, and the only one who doesn’t have to be there. But I’ll do it. I’m not going to quit.
Art history will be tough. Again, lots of papers and we can’t use the internet. I wish I had my old professor back. This guy seems really serious about it, while my old professor was very laid back, relaxed, and the class was pretty easy if you studied. Ugh this seems hard though.
And finally French. I look forward to this class. Not buying the book which costs $200 and I can’t find it anywhere. My professor is really helpful and I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it someday, but right now I can’t seem to remember anything unless I’m reading it off the page. Also, everyone in that class is very friendly.
I agree with you, Jessica. Wednesday is the best and happiest day of the week. Thanks for making every week the best guys <3
Alright, I’m off to apply to college.
