3:09 pm - Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers...
|
I'm notorious for drawing lines. They're never straight, blame my left-handed writing skill, and if I tried to cut along them, it'd be even worse. Damn the man who decided that being right-handed was the only way to go. But lines have filled up my life- intersecting, cutting one thing off from another, stacking next to one another and making then impossible to cross. Or so I thought.
No more boxes. No more toeing the edge. No more precipices and glass walls to run into. No more infinite boundaries stretching on and on without end. Except for the horizon of course...but that's never a problem anyway. Thank you for letting me see that.

12:41 pm - Summer lovin'...
|
I'm finally home in township. After a week of finals followed by an away gig and slight boredom, Patrick came up to visit for the rest of the week and we left Saturday after I sang in the rain at commencement with the rest of the Lyrics. Congrats to everyone who graduated - you made my first year at RPI amazing and I can't thank you enough.
This year really has been great, I've grown so much as a person and still stayed pretty much the same. School was everything I imagined, and some things that I could never expect. I'm so glad to be home, I've missed twp, but I miss being at school too. Yes, I miss the dirty city of Troy, incredibly loud floor, and infuriating cell bio labs. Summer is going to be wonderful, but I also can't wait to get back to RPI.
For now, I'm living in the moment, glad to be here, and looking forward to an incredible summer.

This weekend was incredible.
Patrick came up Friday. : )
We had the Lyrics Spring Invitational on Friday, so he saw me perform and he made friends with the Lyrics, which was good, because we spent most of Saturday with them singing all over the place. Saturday night was the Alpha Phi formal, and it was wonderful. I heart my house - we're all kinds of crazy. Then we spent most of Sunday being lazy, but after running around for 48 straight hours it was nice to just be with each other for a little bit. Then he had to leave and I was sad and he was sad and the weather was horrible and I was worried, but he made it back okay. And now Troy weather is icky and my boyfriend is gone and I have tons of work to do, but I don't really care because I had an amazing weekend.
I love him and he loves me and long-distance is ten times harder than I thought, but still completely worth it.
♥ Thank you for everything ♥

12:57 am - It Feels Like Home to Me...
|
I feel like updating, mostly to delay last minute studying for my final tomorrow, but there's not a whole lot to say.
I'm the chief financial officer of the 'Lyrics. *COUGH*
EOP is going well.
I'm going home tomorrow.
It's almost Christmas.
I have most of my shopping done.
I am not packed at all.
I can't wait to be in TWP again.
And I am very, very happy.
You know, life is a grand and beautiful thing. Sure, classes are annoying, it's very cold here, and I'm utterly sick of Commons food, but I wouldn't trade dear old RPI for anything. Well, maybe something. Then again, maybe not. I have my cake and I'm eating it too- maybe not a lot of it, but enough.
♥
...it feels like I'm all the way back where I belong...

Home was wonderful.
And I'm happy.
And I can't wait for break.
Three weeks is starting to feel like an eternity.
But then I'll be home and everything will be wonderful.
And I'll continue to be happy.
♥
(miss you)

9:41 pm - Save Tonight, Let's Fight the Break of Dawn...
|
This weekend, as many of you know, was TWP homecoming. If you were noting the absence of a one Miss Lauren, it's because I was here attending Greek 101 for most of the day Saturday. It really wasn't too bad, mostly due to our amazing back row antics of MASH, as well as Stasia and I in our pizza stealing exploits. Let's just say, we were a bunch of well-fed girls. haha.
That night marked the Navy mixer where we went and learned to dance with Navy boys. It was all kinds of fun, a little strange at first because I ended up dancing with one of my physics partners, but in the end it was all good. It made me miss my skirts and heels, cause I can't really wear them around campus. Ah well.
Yesterday was packed as usual- somehow SUNDAY is my worst day...but we had a special meeting up at the house, and I found out who my Big was! We've been getting gifts delivered by lovely boys all week, from our big sister, and last night was the reveal! It was all very enjoyable, and I found out that it's Laura, and we realized that we're both "LK" which is really amazing in itself. I found out that I'm in the 'sped' tree, and I saw where my little ivy leaf is going to go, and I'm so excited that it's not even funny.
The Lyrics are going well, we're learning two new songs that are very VERY fun, and we're getting rid of "I'm a Train" which was...words can't describe. The song itself wasn't bad, but I didn't want to do it AT ALL. S'all good now though, and everything should be ready by our invitational, which is ironically the same day as my formal. I'm still working that out, but I better be able to go to both, or I'll be a bit upset.
And that's pretty much life. I'm busy almost all of the time, which isn't a strange, but is both good and bad. Life is life, and some things continually surprise me, and some things are just as predictable as they've always been. I miss my friends and my family and my kitty, but I'm still not homesick so I think that's a good sign. I really do love it here, even if it's been freezing cold all day and there's a chance of snow tonight. I'm very happy here, despite being the only Eagles fan and WaWa enthusiast. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but what I REALLY miss the most is WaWa macaroni and cheese...

8:36 pm - Life So Far
|
Seeing as I really haven't posted anything about life here at dear old RPI, I figured I'd let y'all in on my fantabulous new life.
I've joined the Rensselyrics, one of the a capella groups here on campus. They're all kinds of crazy fun, and evolved out of the Glee Club (aka are lke 100 years old), so we do some traditional stuff as well as a lot of modern music. I'm pushing for some kind of Michelle Branch arrangement, but I have zero skills in that department, so people will have to do that for me. We just got funding from the Student Union to make a cd this semester and you all know you want one.... You can go to http://lyrics.union.rpi.edu/ for more fun stories, but I'm not sure if my bio is up yet or not...
I have another surprise for you, which for some may be quite the shocker. I've joined one of the sororities on campus: Alpha Phi. I know what you're thinking, and no, RPI does not have the stereotypical sororities- after all, first and foremost we're a science school. The girls in the house are all kinds of amazing, and my fellow pledges are wonderful. We have a TON of fun together, and I can't wait to become a full-fledged sister.
Knowing that I wouldn't have a lot of time (Lyrics rehearsal 6 hours a week and pledging) I decided against student government, but ran for hall council instead. We basically manage the funds that the Hall gets, and can do anything with them pending approval from the overall council. It's not much, but keeps me busy when I'm not writing equations or on the other side of campus in West Hall.
School is school. Not much different, except now I have Physics (which I hate) and I have no English class per se. There's my Growing Up in America class where I'll read one book all year, that basically complains about the degeneration of the American society and loss of blues music and all of the culture that goes along with it. Aka, we sit there and attack consumerism and spend half of our classes listening to blues guitarists. It's not too bad, but I must admit that I miss English and papers that really matter. I wrote a six page one the other day, where the only guidelines were to answer a set number of questions and try not to have spelling mistakes. It made me a little bit sad inside...
For anyone who doesn't know, my roommate and I get along really well. Like, better than really well. She went home a couple of weeks ago for the weekend, and was homesick. For college. For our 3rd floor miniscule living space (but not as small as Pat's). For our picnics on the floor in the middle of a Saturday. For our girls night movies. For me pestering her with physics while she asks me how to do chem. For our dueling music while we both pretend to do hw. And for someone to quote Charlie the Unicorn with. I couldn't have a better roommate than Katie, and part of me is gonna be so sad to go home. It's weird, being an only child I've never gone through this, and for anyone who misses their siblings now, that's how I'm going to feel when I go home. But I miss you all too, don't worry, and will be very excited to go home. I'm not exactly homesick, but I miss people. I miss my car. I miss getting a phone call at 1030 pm and just getting up and leaving my house and not being back til who knows when. And doing that night after night. But it's different here, because it's not like you go home at the end of the night, you just go to sleep so you can do it all over again. And I like that too.
There's more I could say, inane details that no one wants or needs to know about. Just know that I'm happy here, really happy, and I may get pissed off at certain people and I may get exasperated at physics, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Because this IS my world, and I wouldn't want it any other way...

6:02 pm - The Story of My Life - Bon Jovi
|
Yesterday's a memory
Another page of history
Sell yourself for hopes and dreams
That leave you feeling sideways
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street
Trying to find the highway
Hey, are you going my way?
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can happen
That's the story of my life
I'm gonna write the melody
That's gonna make history
Yeah, and when I paint my masterpiece
I swear I'll show you first
There just ain't a way to see
Who, when, why or what will be
‘Til now is then it's a mystery
A blessing and a curse
Or something worse, yeah
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can
I've been thinking
Baby, you can help me write the story of my life
Hey, whaddaya say?
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
And I hope you're by my side
When I'm writing the last page
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can
I've been thinking, baby we can...
This is the story of my life
The story of my life...

10:16 am - Red Light by Jonny Lang
|
*So this has sort of become my new song. I've always loved it, but recent events have brought it to the forefront. Mainly the fact that I leave Monday, and have so many things left to do...*
RED LIGHT
You sing a song
While sitting at a red light
You think of home
While sitting at a red light
Too slow to roll
Put your life on hold
An open path
With nowhere to go
You start to wonder
While sitting at a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
A chance to breathe
While sitting at a red light
You look around
Reflecting on your life
A chance to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
A second glance
When coming to a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
When things look low
You've gotta keep strong
Feet to the grass
You've gotta walk it off
The bows been tied
Too tight to laugh
Feet to the ground
You've gotta walk it off
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
Start to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the toll
Speeding through your whole life
You can run a red light
Give up on your whole life
You break the mold
When running through the toll
Speeding through your whole life
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
You sing a song
While sitting at a red light

12:49 am - And I Want a Moment to Be Real...
|
Well hello there. We haven't spoken in awhile. My name is Lauren, in case you've forgotten, and you, you are the nameless entity to which I send my musings.
Actually, you are named, it's just, well, I don't know who I'm addressing this to at the moment. So for now, mystery is better. Much less confusing, and the single tense of 'you' makes it far easier.
Oh my summer? Thanks for asking. It's been wonderful. AIDA was incredible. Thanks to all who attended. It meant a lot that you showed your support, and I hope you got a lot out of it. We put a tremendous amount of effort into it, and I don't think we disappointed.
As for work, well, I'm finally done. Maybe I'll go back during the holidays, but for now I'm officially unemployed. Oh dear. The horror.
RPI awaits in 1 week. We're driving up the night before move in, and are attempting to be at the head of the 10 am check-in line. Something tells me we'll miss it by a bit. Orientation was great, for all who have not heard. I'm very excited. I met Katie, my roommate, completely by accident, and she's really awesome and I'm looking forward to living in room 301 with her! I've also met other strange people who think the way I do (who would have thought?)
Bon Jovi was great in concert. I had a headache, but still enjoyed it, and he was wonderful and I have lots of lovely shots on my phone. Apparently people from Jersey call him "JBJ", which I have never heard. Stranger things HAVE happened though, so I guess I should just let it go...
The Goo Goo Dolls were incredible. The only bad thing was that my mom ended up not going, and she likes them as much as I do. My uncle went instead, and stared down this crazy drunk guy in front of us, and let me gush on and on about John afterwards, and went with me to buy me new flip-flops in the casino gift shop because mine broke in the Music Box. My only other sad note is that I wish they played longer. They did everything on the set list (which is signed on my dresser) except for their last encore "Without You Here", which is sad because I love that one. What am I kidding- I love them all.
My iPod is finally in my possession. After waiting 7 and 1/2 months (like 7 and 1/2 cents) I have a white iPod nano. It's lovely and little and plays my music quite nicely. Now, I just need to go to Target and get 2 cases for it, so I can double protect it like LA! lol. People laugh, but it works.
I'm finally tan...sort of. I've traveled from shore to shore for the last couple of days, and my skin has changed from white to beige to beigey-pink to peach to rosy-peachy-red. I also have a shorts tan line, which is very amusing. I suggest you all try it. (Not really, it's not that fun-lol)
So that's life. I know you've waited for it. My last summer. How final. How impressive. Until, of course, you get to the details. Then, you see that it is, in fact, your typical summer. Filled with the expected boring moments, obligatory trips to the shore, concerts that cannot be described, and overall nostalgic tone of time gone by. Oh, that reminds me of Casablanca. And how we'll always have Paris.
Don't forget darlings, I wore blue.

2:55 pm - Take my hand, we'll make it I swear...
|
So it's July, and I'm finally getting around to my LJ again. I attempted an update about a month ago in the beginning of June...but it never happened.
Let's see:
I have a facebook.
I've graduated.
I'm out almost every night of the week for grad parties.
Work still has me on night shift.
I'm doing AIDA with Mainstage.
Prom was fun.
Kanit and Doug have left for Colorado.
My father's being a prick.
I have lots of fun graduation gifts.
I'm becoming obsessed with World Cup Soccer.
It's been raining like crazy, with today as no exception.
I've been getting migraines recently, for the first time, and I hope I'm not getting them like my mommy does.
I need to somehow get my AP scores without my booklet, because I seem to have misplaced it.
I'm reading books again.
I bought 8 pairs of flip-flops the other day.
♥And I'm incredibly happy.♥

7:23 pm - We must let go to know what's right...
|
There is a long list of things that I should be doing right now, but I really could care less. I've had this insatiable urge to update for the last two days, and have held it off for long enough.
Easter was yesterday. Most of my family went to my Uncle's, but it was Zach's birthday so we had to stay home and have a party for him. I love that he and Nicole come to our house about once a month, unless they get presents or money. They'll always make an appearance for that.
After everyone left, Kanit came over and we watched X2 and talked til about two, when my mommy sent him home so he wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel later. I fully expect a rain check on NATIONAL TREASURE. Every time I try to watch it, it just doesn't work.
The release of LET LOVE IN is hovering on the horizon, and I'm so excited for it. I've always loved the Goo Goo Dolls, but from listening to clips, and seeing the lyrics, and watching the "Stay With You" video, I'm getting a stronger meaning from them. They're filled with raw emotion, and they hold such a message. Now, I like the early stuff, but their new sound has an incredible power without being over the top or overbearing or sounding like they're whining or screaming and I feel like they've reached a whole new level. In short, I can't wait.
What else? I got James Blunt's cd, but have yet to listen. I'm on a RENT kick right now, and spent a lot of time on YouTube today watching interviews and clips. They were lovely. (As much as I love Adam, I go through phases of my favorite characters, and I'm on Jesse right now. He's so incredibly talented...and I can't believe it at times! He and Wilson are perfect, and they're so right together. *grin*) One of the videos was of an episode of THE VIEW where the movie cast was on and they sang, and I was overwhelmed with the amount of talent on that one stage. It's really incredible what these people have done. Every time I hear the story about how after Johnathan died they started to sing through the show and by the time they got to "La Vie Boheme" they were celebrating both his life and his death by his work it just moves me. It's the best thing that they could have done, and I'm so happy that he is being honored today. It's what I love about RENT. The celebration of love and loss and life and death. The music speaks for itself, and I try to get people to understand that the entire performance does not have to have a big action sequence or brilliant epiphany. It's about people living their lives to the fullest. And it's one of the many things that have changed the way I think about the world. I'm slowly finding myself, and becoming my own person, and it's such an experience. Acceptance is a grand and beautiful thing, and I'm witnessing it first hand within myself. I have a long way to go, and I know that I'll be a completely different person after I go through college and get a job and get married and have kids, but I'm looking forward to it. There is something to be said about having self-worth, and recognizing it is even rarer. Perhaps even self-actualization is around the corner; now there's a lovely thought.
I'm proud of myself. For who I am and what I believe in. For digging out of holes myself, and realizing that I have a purpose and I have a choice. I have an influence over myself and the world around me, and that I can become anything. I may quote song lyrics to no end, but that's because they mean something. I am "through accepting limits cause someone says they're so". And "there [has] been a change in me" and I know that there is "no day but today". I know that "someday I'll be Saturday night" and I want "to write one great song before I" die. "I know something's starting right now". I know that "the walls will fall before [I] do" and that today can always be the day that "the world begins again". And I hope that by knowing me "you've had the time of your life." Cause I sure have.

9:21 pm - I'll stay with you...
|
Wow, a month without an entry...I think I may have kicked my LJ habit.
FAME! (hands) was amazing. I auditioned. I was called back. I had two riffs and a line. I fell in love with the teacher's duet. I watched the senior shower. I received a senior gift. I remembered what it was like to be a drama kid and love it. Thank you WOBP cast of FAME! (hands). You were wonderful.
Amanda got me a ticket to see WICKED at the Academy. We went this past Thursday with her mom and mom's friends and it was spectacular. My only criticism was that the actress who played Elphaba had a nasal tone to the vowels in her lower register. She did make up for it in 'Defying Gravity' though, so it's all good.
I am going to prom with John. Leah is supervising. He's awesome and we'll have lots of fun talking about the crayon theory and such. We're also going with KK and Mr. President, which is always enjoyable. I find it funny that I now call her KK...ah well, it's senior year. Anything goes.
The Goo Goo Dolls are done recording, 'Stay With You' is now available on their website, all of the lyrics are there, and they are touring with Counting Crows. I'm so incredibly excited! I've read all of the lyrics about 100 times, and since I got my new phone today, the first thing I did was try and get 'Stay With You' as my ringtone. It worked, and I couldn't care less that only about 15 numbers are in my phonebook since it took me about an hour and a half to do my ringtone. It's totally worth it.
School is ehhh...Manda and I have decided that we still care, we're just working like we don't. We're doing the same amount of work...but it still bothers us that we suck hardcore. :/ I don't think I'll fully succumb to senioritis, but I may teeter on the edge just a bit.
Senior Trip was...extraordinary! (I'm running out of adjectives...) Room KLMR was the best thing that could have happened to any of us. We decorated. We sang at the top of our lungs. We straightened Rachael's hair (yes, it was a combined effort). We helped KK in Operation PC. We had many a visitor. We ate pizza for breakfast on the first AND last days. We were woken up by calls from Bill Clinton, Chris from the front desk, and three other strange people that sounded amazingly similar to Roz and Kienzle. Rach decided to talk to them at 2 in the morning. I decided to flip out. Then we unplugged the phone. We played count the clouds. We watched KK burrow into an airplane tray. We rocked out to XM Radio. We sang off-key renditions of old 90s songs along with the rest of Bus 5. KK and I managed not to have aneurysms, but we were close. We met G Harr. We went shopping like whoa. Amanda and Karin and I were three of about ten people who went to Universal Studios. We were the cool kids. I spent quality time with Kanit, who is currently in Colorado. Room KLMR stayed up an extra two hours the last night, and we bonded over drama, PC, and hair. We were your typical room of girls on senior trip. And it was great.
I went to RPI this weekend for their Accepted Students Day, and I think that I've definitely made the right decision. After we spent five grueling hours in the car, checked in, and rushed out the door the next morning, it just clicked. Sure it was colder than home. And mostly everyone there was from New England. And they're not in the greatest city in the world (2 hours away from it though!). But that's the place I'm going to spend my next four years. Where I'll be away from dear old township, and my family, and everything I've known. It's where I'll grow. I'm excited. Ecstatic even. I feel like I'm going to this far away place, where I'll become a totally different person. The opportunities they have for me outrank almost every other place. My only tough part will be to see if I can do research, study abroad, be on the ski team and learn to race, become a player, tour with the a capella groups, belong to dance club, start a step team, double major, do co-op and an internship, AND still graduate in four years. Oh, and learn to play guitar. I still want to learn. I want to go to the FYE right now. I want to be one of the girls in the 30% to 70% female to male ratio. I want to go on ski trips every weekend. I want to join the RPI version of Bleacher Creachers. I want to go find the chem lab and run experiments. I want to bring a jazz song to the Rusty Pipes/Rensselyrics/Partial Credit and have them celebrate music with me. I want to have my college experience now.
"Why not change the world?" RPI Class of 2010.
I couldn't be happier.
I feel weird trying to summarize the past month or so of my life. There's really not all that much to tell. I haven't had any enlightenments, and I haven't discovered some new talent of mine. I've been writing English papers the night before they're due, doing French in homeroom, and Calc...well, Calc NEVER gets done. I've been singing WICKED like crazy, and had to limit myself or I get a little too caught up in certain songs. I'm trying to live my life knowing that I'll never get these years back, but really, I'm just being myself for once. I'm still moody. I still get pissed off. And I still rock out to my favorite band in my car. Obscurity is still my best friend. And there's still the part of me that yearns to make a difference.
Live like they want an encore. I've never been influenced that much from a commercial, and I don't even like diet coke all that much.
Until...well...just until...
Lauren

x lilmanderz x (7:54:18 PM): haha
GoldenGrl324 (7:54:42 PM): if this is still unsatisfactory, I suggest you find a rock and sit under it, while I listen to Adam Pascal talk about trying to French Kiss Rosario Dawson.
GoldenGrl324 (7:54:53 PM): the end.
GoldenGrl324 (7:54:58 PM): sincerely, Lauren and Amanda
x lilmanderz x (7:55:02 PM): hahahhah! that was awesome!!
GoldenGrl324 (7:55:16 PM): I try
x lilmanderz x (7:55:19 PM): alright, have you got his email address or are we goin old fashioned with stamps?
GoldenGrl324 (7:55:40 PM): haha
GoldenGrl324 (7:55:55 PM): I think he's old, so we'd better go with stamps
x lilmanderz x (7:56:11 PM): haha sounds good
I ♥ the obsession Amanda and I have with a one Adam Pascal, the wonderful phenomenon that is Roger/Mimi and the lovely musical called RENT. More updates later, but I really do need to go do English.

"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Sdc was amazing. Thank you to my wonderful cast for working so hard for so long, and putting up with my yelling at you! I love you all forever!!!
What will come will come, and I'm slowly starting to revolutionize the way I look at things. This time tomorrow, everything will be different, and that's a great thought. No matter how stressed I get, eventually it will be over, and that's just a really comforting feeling.
Military Ball was loads of fun. I'm really glad it all worked out in the end...it did, however, make me realize exactly how short I really am-lol! Do you remember when we used to sing... *grin*
Reasons I ♥ February:
Bon Jovi in 5 days.
Billy Joel in 15.
RENT dvd in 22.
Pride and Prejudice party with Amanda in +29.
I got a thing from JHU in the mail today. One of those brochure things they send out to everyone on their mailing list. It was nice. A little reminder of what I'm waiting for come April. I'm anxious about it, but at the same time am completely over it. I'd love to go there. They're amazing, and I can totally see myself walking around with my long blue coat and boots and dare I say a sweater. In silver hoops and jeans. With a "Mark-scarf" wrapped around my neck and a messenger bag full of Chemical Equations and Sheet Music. I'd love to go there. And wind. There's always wind. I'd really love to go there.
But it's ok if I don't. RPI is just as good, only farther away, and colder. They do have a ski team though. And I'd love to be on it. College is college at this point. It'll come, it'll go, I'll go, and then I'll win the Nobel Prize for stopping the transmission of AIDS from parent to child. <-see what watching the health videos does to me...
So life is life. And it's good. And that's pretty much it.
♥Lauren
