I'm actually writing for a change...

So, I need to write in this more often. I think the reason I stopped is because it took too much time and effort to figure out how to use blogger.
I used to write daily on my Xanga blog but I stopped during Spring break of this year and never started again. I kind of miss that. I occasionally go back and read my old posts and I'm reminded of what a dork I was and still am. I mean, no kidding, I wrote daily in my Xanga for 2 whole years and then just suddenly stopped. I think I just got lazy. YouTube became a priority and no one used Xanga anymore anyway. I mean, how many of you redaing this (if anyone is reading this at all) have heard of Xanga? Yeah, I didn't think so...

I promised myself that I would go to sleep before midnight tonight because I'm going to Oakland tomorrow, but that didn't happen. I'm still awake and fully dressed and sitting in front of my computer at 12:30. I'm talking to David; he hasn't been on the computer in ages, so that is nice. And Denise just went to bed because I told her she has to be alert for work so that she can get money to go visit New Zealand with me. Wait, I need money too. *fail*

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I mean, I'm so lazy when it comes to writing, especially because I kept forgetting the password to this blog. I will remember it now. I think. Oh crap, I alreday forgot it... *fail again*

Oh, and for those of you who don't know already, I got an iPod Touch for Christmas. Thought I'd brag a little more in textual form. And I'm going to Washington D.C. for the inauguration of Barack Obama. BUT, that's when all my NZ friends will be in Wellington with Rob and I'm going to be insanely jealous. If you're reading this, WE MUST TALK WHILE YOU'RE ALL TOGETHER, KTHNXBAI. <3

Oh life...What will I do with you?

I have so much homework to do, yet I procrastinate on it forever. Why must I do that? I fail at life I think. I'm proud of myself that I'm keeping up with updating this though.

ROAR was so tiring today. It was freshmen day and they all looked so lost. I felt slightly bad for them and then I realized they were freshmen and that I'm so much older than them. Oh freshmen, I hope you like high school!

I came home and didn't accomplish anything. I just skype talked with Jess, Lewis, Rache, Simon, and Patrick. So much fun! We had a mini dance party for like two songs and then everyone had to go. But I started talking to Ryan (theNewZealandishBrit) and he was very nice. I love talking to people from other countries. I think it's become one of my favorite past times. I win.

I also have become obsessed with the music of nevershoutnever! He is so amazing and his music is now some of my favorite stuff on my iPod. I totally recommend anyone reading this to go download his music or at least listen to it somewhere. He will blow you away. I recommend you listen to the song Heregoesnothin it's his most played. =D

This made my day yesterday. Watch it!

I need to get a life.

So for real. I need to start cracking down on myself to get my homework done. I think after I post this blog I'm going to actually finish my extended essay. That would be a miracle. But at least I'll try and start to finish it. Or maybe I'll do my Spanish assignments, English assignments, or History internal assessment. IB wants to kill me. Gah, I'm screwed. Hopefully I can get it all done in the next two weeks with all the other stuff I have to do. Fail.

So last night I skyped with Jess and David. I was in a really silly mood where I actually felt like talking a lot, so I did, and it was tremendous fun. I finally have a name for my stuffed kiwi now that Ben, my brother, brought home for me after his trip to New Zealand. It's name is Winston after the foreign affairs minister that supposedly everyone hates in New Zealand. Here's a picture of him (the kiwi I mean) wearing my glasses:

Wow, I love random pictures sometimes. This just takes the cake though.

I just learned from twitter that a certain guinea pig has fallen deathly ill. All my thoughts go to it's owner, Josh (skishua). Get well lovely guinea pig!

Oh twitter, what can I say about you? You make my world complete being able to stalk all my favorite YouTubers and friends. What did I ever do before you, twitter? I don't even remember how to stalk to old fashioned way.

You know what I decided I liked is the idea that no one but myself has seen these posts. It makes me actually feel more free, like I can say whatever I want and no one will know. Of course I'm not going to post something I'd regret if someone saw, but I am going to just type and see what happens from now on. I love online blogs. This is like my diary, only without "Mrs. William Beckett" scribbled everywhere. Gosh, I can't wait until Friday! It's going to be amazing! And my mom said I can get a The Academy Is... t-shirt! Good times. For real.

Love, Lauren <3
