This Funny Feelin' Inside

“I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.” — Jacob Black


Aw, that's really sweet. Can't you imagine him saying that with this funny smile on his face, kind of shrugging? ....Yeah, okay, so it's probably just me.

Anywho, so Casey went and saw Hairspray last night, so of course, she got to brag about it to me all over the place, hah. I'm jealous majorly, but I think we're going to a movie tonight, so I can't really complain.

Peggy leaves tomorrow. I GET MY BED BACK. FINALLY.

Okay. So. I'm better. I'm not upset anymore. Thank goodness.
If you've watched Disney lately, you may have noticed that song, "The Music in Me" from HSM2!! It's been stuck in my head, and I don't even know all the words. I LOVEEE ITTT.

Just, ya know, saying. :)

Why Lauren is Scared of Dating.

Alright. So before I post, I must explain that I love this girl to death, so this is slowly breaking my heart. We have so much fun talking to eachother, and then things like this come up and we have to get serious.

[00:36] ThatOneKiddAllie: haha.
[00:36] ThatOneKiddAllie: um..
[00:36] ThatOneKiddAllie: [12:35] Ziggy: alliza... you hopped into a pretty advanced relationship. ive had sex twice, and done a lot of others tuff thati shall spare the details on... you have only been in 1 serious relationship, and you still got 3 years of school... waht ive been thinking about lately, is i think you should find someone who can take a relationship at your speed...[12:35] Ziggy: there i said it \=
[00:55] ThatOneKiddAllie: [12:54] ThatOneKiddAllie: Do you want me or not [12:54] ThatOneKiddAllie: It's as simple as that.[12:54] Ziggy: i wish i could give a yes or no answer[00:56]
[01:23] ThatOneKiddAllie: he told me he wanted to touch me..
[01:23] ThatOneKiddAllie: like.. southern.. front..
[01:23] darnedpencil: um... whoooaaa.
[01:28] ThatOneKiddAllie: i actually feel
[01:28] ThatOneKiddAllie: like throwing up at the moment.
[01:28] darnedpencil: I can't say that I wouldn't blame you.
[01:33] darnedpencil: So what's he saying? "Let me touch you or else you should probably find someone else?"
[01:33] ThatOneKiddAllie: [01:31] ThatOneKiddAllie: It's your choice. [01:31] ThatOneKiddAllie: Do you want to keep this going [01:31] ThatOneKiddAllie: or do you want to finalize it. [01:31] Ziggy: i dont... want to break up because it sounds like im breaking up with you so i can have sex with some other chick... [01:32] Ziggy: and people are gonna see me as a dick for leaving you to try and get in someone elses pants [01:32] ThatOneKiddAllie: well... you are a dick for doing that [01:32] ThatOneKiddAllie: technically =\ [01:32] Ziggy: yeah
[01:34] darnedpencil: ROFL.
[01:34] darnedpencil: I'm REALLY sitting here, laughing, that you said 'technically'.
[01:35] darnedpencil: Even though I agree completely.
[01:36] ThatOneKiddAllie: [01:33] ThatOneKiddAllie: so, what, you won't break up with me because of what other people will think of you? [01:34] Ziggy: i... think, i dont know?

This guy, "Ziggy", is her BOYFRIEND.
After that last quote, I unleased some censor-worthy words.

//Edit//

New stuff:

[01:57] ThatOneKiddAllie: [01:40] ThatOneKiddAllie: I'm in a freaking relationship where the guy just wants to cop a feel. [01:40] ThatOneKiddAllie: And if I won't let him [01:40] Ziggy: partly [01:40] ThatOneKiddAllie: he wont break up with me because he's afraid his friends will be mean to him and people will talk about him. [01:40] ThatOneKiddAllie: Then why don't I do it. [01:40] ThatOneKiddAllie: Well. [01:41] ThatOneKiddAllie: If I broke up with you, people will ask me why, I'll tell the truth, and you'll look like more of an ASSHOLE than you already are. [01:41] Ziggy: i woulod deserve that
[01:57] darnedpencil: Ain't that the truth.
[01:58] darnedpencil: I have just decided that you're my Oprah. I love you.

ALSO.

She's just told me that they're okay, and that she's not giving up on him yet --- She's going to try to pull him out of this.
This is why I couldn't be good at dating. No way.

Who Let the Dogs Out?

I DID! I DID!
So, my mom and my great-aunt showed up at the house today, as, um, expected (Wow. That was an awkward sentence.), bringing along Molly, her older mini-shnauzer, and Suzie, her going-to-be-a-year-old-in-September dog of the same breed.
As it turns out, SURPRISE!!!! WE'RE KEEPING SUZIE!!!!
She loves me more than my mom, which is a first from ANY dog we've ever owned. She's black and freakishly adorable, not to mention that she loves to play and snuggle.


I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED.
OHkay. Breathe.


So, Colorado is cancelled. I'm here for the rest of the Summer, or so I've been told. It bummed me out, but now that Suzie's here, I really don't care as much. Mazie, our min-shauz, doesn't like Suzie yet. We'll give her time, though. Plus, Mazie loves Mom. Suzie loves ME. FINALLY.

Vicky?

***Eclipse Quote of the Day*** (7/26/07)
“The stories say that the Cold Woman was the most beautiful thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of the dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once, and it glittered off her white skin and lit the golden hair that flowed down to her knees. Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her white face. Some fell to their knees to worship her.” — Billy Black

...And then she slaughtered them all, laughing while she did so.

Just kidding.
So anyways, who's this Cold Woman? I mean, she fits the description for a vampire, duh, but... Wait a sec... What color is Victoria's hair? It could be irrelevant, but still.
Jacob's the Legend Kid, I've decided. He's bringing all of these creatures into Bella's mind, and really, considering what she's been through, I don't think he should be telling her more of these "true legends."
Ah, whatever. It obviously makes for a good story.

Oh, I finished my English reading for the summer. Now all I have left is the crappy symbolism worksheet, analyzing the characters, a mind map, and a two person poem of 20 lines. Woo-hoo.
By the way, I hate symbolism. HATE IT.

I ♥ THE VAMPIRES.

“I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object.” — Edward Cullen


AHH. YES! WOOO! GO BELLA!
:)

Okay. And.
WHY COULDN'T I PREORDER MY BOOK, DANGIT?!?!?! Some copies of Eclipse were actually shipped by accident... Meaning that some people who preordered already HAVE the book, and the company can't take it back. AHHHH. I'm furious. But excited.

7.24.2007

Golden Rule Days

So, orientation is coming up... Again. Except that I've turned into this big mushball who's scared by the idea of high school.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh.

And, if it could possibly also blow up and create loud noises, I told people. Who think I'm paranoid. But when I tell things to them, they don't understand that the out-of-this-world, crazy-faced, ougoing girl named Lauren is the exact same Lauren who tells adorable foreign guys that yes, Americans really do kick people in the head as a greeting. Idiot.
Okay, so I mean, I've MET a bunch of the people I'm going to school with next year, and they're all cool. But there's always, as I was explaining to my mom, those people who let it get to their heads that they're older than me, and I end up having to run away and be all shy, like I really am. No lie, here.
Anywhom.
August eighth, I go to get my schedule and pay for parking decals and stuff. Not that I use them, but hey, whatever. It's school policy. I'm just a peon.

I started working on that crapolic story about the girl who's really a trained assassin in the older ages, or whatever, that almost kills her brother, except I've totally revamped it, and yeah, my grammar's gotten a TON better since then. Plus, I now know that 'I' and 'Her' cannot refer to the same person without being a total screw up. Jeez.
Ummmm....

Yeah. So. That's my life, up to the moment. I'm learning how to make flower baskets tomorrow (woo-hoo) from my Aunt (by the way, that woohoo? That was actually weird, and shouldn't be there. I WANT to learn this.), who's actually making me one for my room that has to be clean tomorrow, and THEN, I have to clean out the fridge and do my summer homework that my LOVELY English teacher that I haven't even met yet has already given me. Joy. To. The. WORLD.

So, if you don't see much of me tomorrow, you know why. I promise, I'm still alive. Maybe. :)

[14:30] darnedpencil: See, I don't know.
[14:30] darnedpencil: Like... I think Alice is just warning her.
[14:30] darnedpencil: And talking about the two guys.
[14:31] missannapants: Yeah... or Bella could be being stupid again...

Ahaha. True dat.

Japanese Culture Talk.

[23:08] LizAliz: do you know anything about Japanese Culture
[23:09] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Absolutely
[23:09] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Not.
[23:09] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Except that it involves a lot of rice and callouses.
[23:09] LizAliz: callouses?
[23:09] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Ci.
[23:10] LizAliz: how so?
[23:10] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: ...What?
[23:11] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Callous --- [KAL-us] hard spot of skin that Lauren often references to concerning rice farming.
[23:11] LizAliz: lmao
[23:13] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Why do you ask? :)
[23:13] LizAliz: Butch has a homework assignment
[23:13] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Ahaha.
[23:13] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: I mean, oh.
[23:14] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: I'm boycotting my homework.
[23:14] laurenreynolds@swbell.net: Until, um, tomorrow.
[23:14] LizAliz: lmao

I should really consider a job in Japanese Culture. Better yet, a World History teacher. Dear lord.

Iconilation.

BY THE TIME I MAKE ANOTHER POST, I WILL HAVE READ THE ENTIRE THING.

...And.

"Fall down again, Bella?” — Emmett Cullen


ROFL.

Just Another Disney Princess.

So I was sitting in my dad's recliner today (well, yesterday... It's after midnight), with my head on one armrest and my feet dangling off of the other, thinking about what I wrote in my last post -meaning the story, not the CTS-, and what Anna had asked me about it being related to the Jase* story. To tell the truth, it was, by all means, supposed to be. But it veered way off track, and turned into a harsh monster who eats good writing for lunch.
Oh, and by the way, did you notice Katy isn't Katy anymore? Yeah, I think that's permanent. And Steven's going to be an add-in somewhere in the actual story.
ANYWAYS.
So, I'm laying in this really comfy recliner all awkward, and it kind of feels like someone's picking me up, in that whole damsel-in-distress manner, which gets me to thinking about writing a modern-day damsel part to the story, where the MC is so weak that someone has to come in and drag her back into normality.
...I did --- The weak part, at least. And I love it. Except, well... Someone had to die to cause this part to happen, and that someone had to mean a lot to the MC.

And frankly, I'm not letting THAT spill for a while. :)

So I won't be posting this story. Not until I get enough beginning-ness and stablity to have a base to make this work. But I PROMISE to spring it on WR in the near future.


*Why is it called the Jase story?! Jase was only the supporting character, Katy being the MC --- Her name's now Arienne, though. But hey. I like calling it that in a weird way. :)

Character Therapy Session

C-T-S.
And guess what?
That's what this whole entire flipping post is about.
Because what happens when I break my writer's block? Yeah. My characters decide to take a personality vacation.

Check it out here, but I have to warn you, it's on a crappy Freewebs site I set up JUST so my post wouldn't be long.
Yeah, I know. I care. :)

This is one of my other ideas, twisted around and played with to no extent. But you can't tell that yet. All there is, at the moment, is a whole bunch of characters that I'd rather kill than use.
FunFact: I stole Arienne's name off of a girl I went to Europe with. Am I a great writer yet?
This is my brain function at the momento:

Arienne: What're we doing here?
Kelsey: This SUCKS severely. I want to go to bed.
Me: Hey. You guys. SHUT UP.
Steven: EXCUSE ME?! YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHEN TO SHUT UP! YOU DON'T CONTROL... Oh, yeah, I guess you do.
Me: Aha. So. We have a very important issue to discuss today.
Arienne: Are you freakin' serious? It's literally 1:14. In the MORNING.
Kelsey: Idiotic writers.
Me: WOOHOO. I'M THE AUTHOR HERE.... Okay. So, here's the deal. I want-
Steven: You know what I want? *I* want to go home. *I* want to not be a part of this story, because originally, *I* started out as a friendly guy who worked in Starbucks, and you turned *me* into an evil, funny, freakishly sexy supervisor. In a bookstore, nonetheless!
Me: At least you're not dorky anymore. You turned HOT. You owe ME.
Steven: (mumbles something about stupid book lovers who shouldn't be writing.)
Kelsey, accusingly: At least you're not a SLUT, Steven.
Me: It's not my fault that you wanted to take over the story and become the very bane of it's existence.
Kelsey: (shrieks) I DID NOTHING LIKE THAT.
Me: YOU DID TOO... Well, okay, not the 'bane of it's existence' part. But because you wanted to be the star, I forced it on you.
Arienne: Hello? I'm still here... If I'm not needed, can I go home?
Me: (sigh) Arienne, TALK, dear. That's really your only problem. And, slight question, but why are you so pathetic? Honey, Kelsey's a mean, slutty-
Kelsey: I AM NOT A SLUT.
Me: I MADE YOU, AND I SAY WHAT YOU ARE OR ARE NOT, IS THAT CLEAR?
Steven: You're really screwed up in the head, aren't you, Lauren? Drugs, I presume? I mean, look at THAT. I just went SMART and said PRESUME.
Arienne: It's not a bad thing to be smart... I mean, like, I'm all googley-eyed over a jock-that's-not-a-jock that my whorish best friend- No offense, Kelse...
Kelsey: None taken... Maybe it's alcohol, Steven...
Arienne: -is going out with. I mean, seriously. AND, I'm shy, AND, I think I'm falling for you, Steven, which isn't supposed to happen. Thank you, spank you, Lauren.
Steven: ...Oh, really? Falling for moi? I might be able to go with that. (grins)
Arienne: Yeah. Well, what's really bad is that I'm SUPPOSED to be going to fall in love with this guy that only I can see, which is kind of the whole main plotline, but since we have an insane author that isn't getting anything done and would rather have therapy sessions with the characters in her mind...
Me: (flails around, throws hands up in the air.) THAT'S IT. I HATE YOU ALL. I'M GOING TO BED AND I'LL KILL YOU LATER.

Oh, the fun we shall have.

Haha. Yes, he does know. But he's got some weird definitions of 'thought'.
Oh, man. I'm so tired.
Went to Bored- er, Borders today, and I sat there for two and a half hours to read 'The Off Season", the sequel of "Dairy Queen". I thought it would be good, since Dairy Queen was.
I hated that stupid ending.


---SPOILERS AHEAD, BECAUSE I'M JUST THAT BOLD.---

Okay, so I know that Brian was being jerky to her, with that whole 'face' thing everytime she showed up when he was with his friends, but a) I don't understand WHY he did it, and b) WHY DID HE HAVE TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?! He was ssooooooo sweet.
