Please forgive what I have done..

My name is Lauren Elizabeth Bryant. I'm a Senior at the dumbest school ever. My life is music. I wash my face everynight before bed. I brush my teeth too often. I'm ambidextrous, but I use my right to write, usually. My parents are divorced and I live with my Daddy. He's awesome. My brother moved to Johnson City to continue college (he's 21). I drive a '97 Grand Prix, and I'm in love with it. I agree with Lydia when she says "I would rather kiss a goat than do my Math homework." My eyes are blue. My hair is naturally blond. I once cut my hair short and dyed it black and am now growing it out long. I've dyed my hair every color there is to dye it, at least once. I can't cook. I hate it when someone leaves the toilet seat up. I also hate it when someone leaves cabinet doors open or lights on. I wear black and purple, thick-rimmed glasses because I'm nearsighted. It takes me no longer than 30 minutes to get ready in the morning...and most of that time is lying in bed not wanting to move. I absofrigginlutely LOVE pineapples. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper (DCVDP) is the shit. I miss Surge. Coffee makes me sleep. I work at a movie theatre and I enjoy it. I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm a hopeless romantic. I miss all my friends that graduated and moved. I wear pink flip-flops with monkeys on them. I'm a Star Wars freak. I'm also a Batman freak. Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are the best combination ever. I love to read (Mostly Stephen King). I stay up too late and get up too early. I'm emotionally hurt very easily. I tend to hide my emotions. If you get a real smile out of me, feel accomplished. I'm never happy with school pictures, but I really don't care. I'm actually starting to like Vin Diesel *cringe*. It's getting hard to find space to hang things in my room. I love Christmas lights. Chocolate milk is the awesome. I like the Backstreet Boys and O-Town. I almost never use lotion, eventhough I need to. Holly and I have a problem of attracting girls. I'm a total grunge kid. I love Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Silverchair. I WILL see Foo Fighters in concert. I play Spyro and Red Faction too much. I'm almost always sick. I was in a car wreck three Decembers ago where a Ford Explorer ran over me >.< Lory was in the wreck with me. Lory has quite possibly been the best friend I've ever had. I have this uncontrollable urge to hug Doyle Von Frankenstein from the Misfits/Gorgeous Frankenstein. I'm a bad horror movie fiend. I speak German. My lip and nose are pierced and my ears are gaged to a zero, I also have an industrial in my right ear. I don't talk to over half the people on my buddy list, but did at one time. I keep a photo album. I have one dog, two cats, and a rabbit. People tend to think I'm "weird"...I tend to agree. I scare and dislike the kids that live across the street from me. My favorite color is green. My favorite number is 8. I play guitar, sax, and piano. My dream is to be a rockstar. Yeah, I know. I make fun of people who aren't as intelligent as I am. I know I shouldn't...but I do anyway :o) I look back at all the stupid things I've done and laugh...a lot. The past five years have probably been the best and the worst of my life. I don't think anyone really understands me, and I don't think I really understand anyone. I'm not a candy person. I like Peanutbutter too much. Smells trigger memories. I've learned a lot from my friends. I still sleep with stuffed animals. I absolutely adore Eeyore. I'm allergic to any metal but surgical steel. i'm also allergic to popcorn. I know, it's ironic. I once had terrible insomnia. I also once had terrible headaches. I love little kids and babies. I feel bad if I can't help someone, eventhough I don't want anyones help. I like monkeys, frogs, and turtles. I don't pay attention in class. I plan to go on a road trip this summer. I also planned to go on a road trip last summer. I like to draw abstract things. Eyes are the first things I notice about a person. My favorite animal would have to be zebras. I drink a lot of water. I don't exercise enough...or ever. I can't stand to have short fingernails. I also can't stand to have dirty fingernails. I don't like to procrastinate, eventhough I do. I was wearing cons before they were "cool". My brother was wearing cons before I was. Once upon a time we had 12 cats and 3 dogs. I never make up my bed. If someone pisses me off, I have no trouble punching them in the face. I hate it when someone dislikes me without a reason. I'm always cold. I have a terrible memory. Lindsey Snapp could be the coolest person I know. I was born two days before Lindsey...she hates me for it :o) My favorite movie of all time is The Breakfast Club. I often think of stupid words and laugh like "swum" and "soup". I can't be still. The movie "John Q" makes me cry. I'm very quiet. I like to cuddle :o) I like eating. I also love sleeping...probably more than Eeyore. When my hair annoys me I threaten to shave it off, eventhough I know I wouldn't. I never change the month on my calender (it's still on July). I'm a Dave Grohl fanatic. I don't go to church simply because I'm either working or too lazy to wake up. If someone buys me something I feel obligated to buy them something in return. I hate stupid high school drama. I enjoy JTHM. I have a tanline from my watch. I miss Salute Your Shorts and Scooby Doo. I never watch T.V. I sometimes burst into random acts of dancing and singing. I like it when people look at me like o.0;; I think it's stupid to be online constantly. I'm online constantly. I type with my hands on the home keys and without looking. I think it's awesome when I get a massage. I think oatmeal looks gross, but tastes good. I was in the Macy's Day Parade in 2003. I daydream all the time. I touched Ryan Cabrera. I hugged Dan and Adam from Story of the Year. I won tickets to see A Perfect Circle off of 95.9 KROCK. I took Holly with me to see them. At the SOTY concert some big, nasty, sweaty guy with no shirt threw me from one side of Rafter's to the other...and everyone moved instead of catching me =\ I HATE clowns. I think the color Yellow is nasty. I can shoot a gun. I think The Dark Crystal is a GREAT movie. I'm not an emo kid. I prefer waffles over pancakes and Coke over Pepsi. There is a quarter in my floor that I've thought about picking up every day for the past 4 months. I have a Jack Skellington throw, along with bed sheets and pillow cases. I do NOT like cheesecake. I hate it when people lie to me. I have an iron deficiency. I have permanent nerve damage in my left leg. I really can't stand the whole "I'm a pirate" thing. I think "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is the dumbest song ever. I argue with myself. I miss marching band. I've had someone very close to me die. Wes invited me to a New Year party one year, his house ate my beanie. I'm attending college at Northeast. I have two tattoos, a pumpkin and a monkey. I am VERY opinionated. Probably the worst pain ever was getting my wisdom teeth taken out. I was forced to grow up far too fast, I basically didn't have a childhood. If things don't work out with college and my boyfriend, I'm joining the Navy. This past Christmas I got zebra bedsheets and pillowcases...they're amazing. Amanda Rupe is my boo. One day I will write an autobiography. I wash my own clothes. I've had my heart shattered, more than once. I cry over anything. The friends I've made in the past year cannot be replaced. I wear small shirts, size 5 pants, and size 8 1/2 shoes. I will forever long to go to Seattle. The band Aqualung makes me think of better days. There are many things that I would like to say, but I don't know how. Allen has been amazing to me, I really couldn't ask for much more. I'm one of the nicest people you'll ever meet...until you piss me off. Then I'll kill you :o) My hair curles...I hate it. I really don't care what people think about me. If you don't like me, good for you. I won't let you get to me. If you're a smartass, I can be a bigger one. My socks usually don't match. I wear Curve perfume.

Beins sick rules.

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 18:01:35 GMT

I've had a stomach virus for the past 24 hours...it's basically awesome. Neg.

However, Allen is amazing. Period.

I'm going to go die now.

Navy

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 17:46:29 GMT

Yes. It has been decided. I'm joining the Navy...and Lory may do it, too.

I'm going to talk to the recruiter either today or tomorrow.

Excited much? Yes.

+Lauren+

NEW AND IMPROVED!!!

Fri, 25 Aug 2006 03:21:09 GMT

So, first off, The DB, South game....DB - 44....South - 0. HAH! I had fun with my Khristina! DB's band was awesome, as usual. God, I miss it soooo much!! :o(

Nothing really has been happening. I've been going to school and working...hanging out with Lory and Cary. Yeap. That's pretty much it.

I started a scrap book...I think it'll be pretty neat, if I ever get the time/motivation to work on it again.

WHOO! My bunny's jumpin' around like a crazy! Yeah! I love her. She's so sweet :o)

Anyway...yeap. This entry was pretty pointless.
Sooo, I'll update again when I actually have something to say!

Until next time,
+Lauren+

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
It may seem as if your emotions are in need of expression, but it's difficult to find an appropriate situation to give them voice. You know what you are feeling but it's a challenge to get it out into the open without causing a greater conflict. Your tendency may be to change your mind in order to lessen the conflict, but this is not a good idea. Instead, hold fast to your truth and wait for the right moment to say what's on your mind.

Jesus...

Oh my GOD I'm melting. The freakin' heat pump went out in my house and, let me tell you, it's miserably HOT! It's like 9000 degrees.

Aside from this, I took Lory to the ER today. She's got one hell of a urinary tract infection. She pissed in a cup and it was straight blood...with a few chunks of nasty in it. She'll be okay, though...I hope, lol.

I'm going to go back to melting, now.

Until next time,
+Lauren+

Soo, what's up?

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 03:14:49 GMT

Okaay, sooo what's up?

I've been doing jack shit lately. Heh. I watched Clerks II, and might I say it was amazing as was John Tucker Must Die.

Yeap...this entry is going nowhere.

So, until next time,
+Lauren+

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 05:05:59 GMT

Who'll be there when I need someone? Count on nobody and no one will let you down. I don't care, just let me go. I don't need this anymore.

Sat, 08 Apr 2006 18:09:14 GMT

For the first time in two years...I'm single.

Sun, 02 Apr 2006 06:28:32 GMT

We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shatter seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner." The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of a malestrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. Irode alone. You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence. Of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon, and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emtiness and drifted slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.

Cold and rescued...

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 05:19:01 GMT

I love how he makes me feel as if nothing in the world can hurt me or even come near me. I find myself wanting to be with him more and more. When I look deep into those gorgeous blue eyes I know...I know that he is mine. I have never felt like this before. Never. Whenever there may be someting bothering me, he is always there to pull me close and tell me everything will be fine. He is my Jack, and I am his Sally. That's how it's been from the start. Almost two years and he still makes my heart swell when he whispers those words to me. I can't begin to describe the sense of comfort and safety that I feel in his arms. I love you

Well, things aren't going so great right now. Incase some of you didn't know, Josh's grandmother passed away Monday morning. Josh and his family aren't doing as well as can be expected and they left this morning for Kentucky for the funeral. I don't know yet if I'm going, I'm waiting for a call from Josh tonight sometime to see. I'd like to go, I mean, it's not like I won't miss her, too. It all depends on the time.

To make things even better, I got a fucking parking ticket today, along with about 14 other people, including Holly and Justin. Apparently we were parked in hadicaped spaces, eventhough there was only one sign, and we weren't in front of that sign. So, I got pulled out of class where I'm supposed to be learning to move my car. I was like "Fine, it'll only take one second." Man, was I wrong! I went out there and the stupid cop guy was behind my car, writing tickets for everone who was parked there. So I had to wait for him to write mine, and by that time April had come back to say good luck that there were only two spaces left. So, he got out of the way, and I drove around the lots 3 times before Holly, Justin and I said fuck it. We drove over to the mall to park and bitch. My dad had just gotten done with a job in Johnson City and was on his way back, so I waited for him there. Holly was waiting for James, and Justing started to walk back to school. While we were waiting, Holly and I went into the theatre and bitched to Ashley about it for a while, THANKS ASH! lol. My dad got there and we drove over to the school, he bitched to the cop guy saying that they cared more about what we wear and where we park than our education and that I had already missed a class and a half and there were no spaces out there to park so where the hell did he want me to park. I ended up parking at the Civic.

Justin said that on his way walking to school his dad drove by and then they went and bitched at the cop guy and Justin also parked in the Civic. In case you didn't know, we're not allowed to park at the Civic, either.

So, this has just been a wonderful week, let me tell ya.

I'm gonna wash some clothes now then eat something and go to work later. Then hopefully Josh will call and I'll know what's going on Friday.

Until next time, whenever that may be,
+Lauren+

I love you, Josh.

Update for YOU!!!

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 03:16:52 GMT

I live at work.

I'm engaged.

I love Josh.

I've learned not to sleep.

Life is good.

+Lauren+

<33J00shie

It's been a while...

Sun, 22 Jan 2006 04:33:12 GMT

Yeah, okay, sorry. I've been busy working and going to school and not sleeping and...stuff.

Sooo, nothing really has happened. That's not a shock, though. I closed with ZACH! tonight and I work with him tomorrow, too! YAY! I also work with my Joshie tomorrow, ALLLL DAY <--aww.

We got our things to make out schedules for next school year, it's kinda scary. I only have to take English and I don't know what other classes to fill in I'm thinking about co-op...but I don't know yet. Gosh, I really do need to start thinking about the future. A lot of things are going to happen in the next two or three years. I've just never been one to make plans. I figure if you don't make plans, they can't get fucked over. I guess I kinda need to start thinking differently now, too....nah.

High school just went by too fast.

My babygirl has a weird place on her right shoulder. I'm worried about it but I don't think we have the monies to take her to the vet. She's getting old, and I don't know what I'm gonna do when I don't have her anymore. (this is my dog I'm talking about, by the way)

Okay, enough sad and scarry crap.

"The Band" is gonna mess around on Sunday. We're trying out a singer and hoping she'll be what we want. If not, well...I guess we're back to searching. I'll keep ya updated on that one.

Well, I suppose I need to go to sleep. Long 8 hour shift tomorrow.

I promise it won't take me as long to update again.
Until next time
-Lauren

I LOVE JOSHUA LEE WADDLE!!!!

Convo. of the night:

Lauren: Yeah, I'm getting the Foo Fighters "FF" on the back of my neck.
Taby: Yeah, then whenever I see you I'll be like "You're Freakin' Fantastic!"

Yes, it doesn't stand for "Foo Fighters" anymore...it stands for "Freakin' Fantastic"...actually...they're the same thing! Awesome.

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 03:22:59 GMT

Okay, so, last Friday Josh, John, Erin, Scooter, Josh's Dad and I all got wasted. Here are some pics!

Okay, so to start off, here's what we had...

And this is the rest, lol

Josh's Dad likes shots...mm

Everyone else had their phones out taking pictures, so I got my camera

Johnny-boy's a drinkin'!

I take after John

Josh is...laughing? I don't know

Haha, okay, I'm starting to get bad now. Part of John, YES!

I don't remember who took this, but I was licking the bottle

Gone

Sideways pictures are cool...and I'm lazy

Something was funny

HAH! Gotcha, Erin!

Josh took this? I was sleepy

...

The morning after...

This is poor John. He was trying to hide from the flash

Josh just got done yawning...and made this really funny face <33

I was leaning against the wall...hah?

On another note, Raven is cutting my hair tomorrow!! YAY!! That's exciting.
Speaking of tomorrow, I need to go to sleep, I have to work.

Until next time,
+Lauren+

I love my Joshie<333

azdfhjk

Fri, 06 Jan 2006 02:33:33 GMT

Not a whole lot has happened. I've been working a lot, and I got a $364 pay check. Soooo, that means I got my Daddy a birthday present (thanks to Raven for the discount \m/ I love you woman!) aaaannndd I ate some Taco Bell, and I got myself a new CD player for my car. Whee. I also got a pretty purple strap for my guitar and some bright-ass picks.

Joshie got some new bass strings, and a radiator for his car. Yays! One step closer to getting his car fixed. (That means I don't have to drive all the time \m/)

I didn't have a D block for a couple of days because I got a D in Int. Alg. because Mr. Mann sucks at teaching. So, because of that I couldn't go to Algebra II. Well, I wanted to get Algebra II T (which is just about the same thing) and the only way I could get that would be for B block. So my Physics got moved to C block, and my English got moved to D block with a new teacher. Gah, it was like the first day all over again. I'm also trying to drop Physics, because I just don't like it. I mean, I can do it, I just don't like it. I'm gonna take something like Life Science or Environmental Science so I can sleep through it. Maybe Biology II? I liked Biology. I have third lunch, now, and I don't really like it. There aren't many people that I know. I'm thinking about changing my English teacher again, if they'll let me, lol. But I would have my AMANDA RUPE! in my class again. And I do miss her, oh so much! But we'll see about that. I'm hoping to talk to Mrs. Ashby tomorrow *crosses fingers* Only 80ish days of school left =\

Okay, enough school crap-o.

I took Josh and my Daddy to watch Fun WIth Dick and Jane, because Daddy wanted to see it. He liked it a lot, so that's good.

Oh, Josh also is about to put a new bass in layaway. It's mega nice, I like it lots. :o)

Okay, okay, my hair is curly and my straightener is calling my name. So I promise I won't wait as long to update anymore!

Until next time,
+Lauren+

I loves my Joshie more than milkshakes, sleeping, my guitar, Foo Fighters, Jurassic Park, Stephen King, my wristbands, soup...ANYTHING!!
