when you were young
the first time we met, i was 5. you asked me if i was busy, and when i confessed that i was not, we walked near the swingset and dug up worms. i was terrified of the small animals you pulled out of the ground, but because it was important to you, i held my hands out and let you drop them into my cupped palms, one by one by one. i didn’t tell you how scared i was or that i cried all the way...
rationality
i have always been a rational human being.
reason #1: you have a nose piercing. my father would never approve of you.
reason #32: you have this really annoying way of getting calmer as i get angrier. that reason alone constitutes why we could never have a lasting relationship.
reason #56: you leave your clothes all over the floor, i hang mine by color.
reason #67: you don’t like taylor...
dreams (12/4/09)
i’m not allowed to think about it, so the leftover thought, with no place to go, trickles into my dreams.
have you ever had those dreams that were so close to reality that for an hour after you wakeup you don’t realize that none of that actually happened? it is a peculiar feeling when you start to build on something that you thought was a solid foundation, only to realize that you were building...

Jersey Shore Power Rankings
1. Mike “The Situation” Just really shined throughout the entire premiere. Great quotes. Great nickname/3rd Person act. Somehow the most cocky/insecure at the same time.
2. Ronnie - This juice-head is articulate and makes poignant observations and predictions. Might be the smartest of the bunch. Must be juicing his brain. “Just take off your shirt and girls come...
eyes (say)
“don’t move,” he grabs my face and tries to keep it in one place. i giggle. just as he sits back down, i pout my lips out.
“lauren i’m serious,” he says trying not to laugh. “normal face.”
i finally give up, and let my face relax. i look straight at him as he takes my binder out of my backpack and pulls out a sheet of paper. he rips the three holes...
appearances
one of my good friends is in a comfortable relationship. it isn’t a relationship from the notebook, and it definitely isn’t perfect, but every so often she shows me pictures of her with her boyfriend and they seem genuinely happy. in her pictures, all i see is happiness, and for those 5 minutes that i flip through her pictures, i feel truly happy for her. but as soon as i put down the...
i used to know this boy,
who took notes in a book.
but he ripped out all the pages
before i got a look
at all the words he scribbled,
at all the lines he filled,
but the ink stains on his fingers told me he was skilled
at capturing a feeling
that most of us just miss.
the simple pain of living,
with goodbyes on our lips.
i found one of the pages crumpled by her bed:
this is how it...
[begin rant]
i hate when i’m complaining about something, and one of my friends always has to be this asshole:
“well at least you’re not in boston.”
i am well aware that i am not in boston, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still 50 degrees here, that my uggs are soaking wet, and that my toes are cold. so what if it’s 30 degrees in boston? it’s -40 in...
give it up
so give it up, i guess it’s overdue i’m over you. but i know you’re untrue, so i’d never give it up to you.
he can’t resist, she’s too blind to see, i know her boyfriend’s all about me.
his words are like a heartattack, all night he’ll be begging me to come back. somtimes he tries to break my heart, but when he’s looking in my eyes he’s...

i used to know this girl
who gave her love away
to every guy she met
& with all the games they played
she never seemed to cry
she never got upset
& one by one they came
& one by one they left.
i thought that i could fix her
if she would let me in
but all of my advances
were shut down in the end
when days turned into months
i begged her to explain
& this is...
the one who gets you through the storm.
isn’t the end the worst? as you look in front of you and see all of the things you carefully, meticulously built for the last 2 years and 3 months, all you can remember is how great you once were.
i remember our end. standing out in the rain; i wondered if this time it was really over. i looked over at you and the fat rain drops blurred my vision. you were standing, your body halfway turned...
i give him all my love, but only half the time.
you were the perfect choice, but you only made me...

awkward
so today someone asked me “if you had to describe your life with one word, which would it be?” took me less than 1 second to say “awkward.”
welcome to my life in a nutshell here we go:
1. person in front of me is walking .1mph slower than me. i decide to super saiyon run past them because i can’t wait 30 seconds.
2. he signs on, i say “hi”, he signs off...

perfect timing
the thing about traps is that their entire existence is engineered into learning what you love, and pulling you in.
it’s difficult because you (ant) are a living, breathing, talking trap. you’ve been engineered to know exactly what i love in a human being, and you embody all of those qualities. you have a built in sensor to know exactly when i’m going to be okay without you, and...
chameleon
i never have a problem fitting into different situations. like water, my personality and my body adjusts to fit into whatever container i’m placed in. i have been complimented on my ability to be exactly what i need to be in any given situation.
when i found myself flung in the middle of an emergency no one wanted to be a part of, i was the color brown, i became the practical one. i calmly...
cooking is easy enough isn’t it? just include the proper parts in the proper amounts, and after you put it all together it creates something completely different.
how to create a writer:
you’ll need:
mix 6 cups of depression and experience. stir well. seep on high for 21 years. sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of perfectionism, a cup and a half of destruction, and 2 tablespoons of insanity....
michael cera
my obsession with michael cera is reaching catastrophic levels.
ever since i saw him in arrested development i’ve been borderline psychotically stalking all of his actions in the public spotlight. he’s exactly the blend of witty, dorky, genuine, endearing, and awkward that i like in a guy and i would do unspeakable things to be with him.
given that his “type” is this:

Things to do to annoy teachers and classmates:

littlemiss:
Mock everything they say
After every thing you say, end with “over”, pretending to be a soldier
Spill a drink on someones lap and just start pointing and laughing
If a classmate sneezes, tell them to stop or shut up
Wear the same hairstyle and clothes as your teacher
Mispronounce everyone’s name
Rearrange the desks everyday
Talk like a sports...
you (kes) - a sad day
what i knew:
“come on,” your brother says from the dining room.
i’m in the upstairs bathroom, carefully looping a dangling earring into my ear.
“lauren,” you (kes) say. “i’ll wait for you downstairs.”
“okay,” i respond easily. as you shut the door, i quickly grab my bag and pull out a pencil. i carefully draw a thin black line ontop...

foreign songs
i have this habit of listening to foreign songs in languages i don’t understand.
at first my family thought it was funny that i had spanish, chinese, and indian songs that i didn’t understand. i memorized the sounds of the music, and i would fluently sing along in a language i didn’t understand.
i started doing this about 3 years ago when i fell in love with someone i...

I really love your writing.
If you had to write a speech about absolutely anything, what would you write about?
Thank you :) I think if I was going to write a speech, I’d write it about all of the things I’ve learned in love. What about you?
Ask me anything
