Who would of thought that "Honorable Mention" would bring so much happiness to my life?

DUDE!! I won Honorable Mention in the editorial Cartooning section of the Journalism competition!! I can't seem to find words for the emotion I am feeling right now. Would "honored" fit? Haha!

Today rocked my face off!! Not only did I get out of school to chill at SMSU but I got to hang out with Mimi and Brandon!! Mimi told me how her antenna ball was stolen from her car last summer. I almost felt bad telling her of my plans to steal "Larry The Cucumber" off of that black SUV's antenna at school.

Tamila was at the Journalism thingy today as well but she wasn't competing. She was performing her duo for those who were entered into the "review writing" part of the contest. I was tempted to go up and ask what ever happened to that grass and snow that we stole. I didn't though. She looked really pissed lol. I guess I will never know what happened to that stuff... ::sigh::

The Projection God is laughing at me as I speak

Uck. Work was not fun today. Projector 4 brain wrapped (if you don't know what that means then well...let's just say it's not a good thing to happen during a movie) and a spring from Projector 2 popped off. Not only that but I had to break down the Kid's Show. My entire shift was spent upstairs cleaning or doing movie checks. Uck.

I can tell that I'm in need of a long rest because my paranoia is acting up again. I'm starting to think that there's a conspiracy against me. I remember this one time I thought that these two girls behind me in Algebra class were complaining about me when they were really talking about Orange Juice. Then there was this one time I was convinced that birds WANTED me to hit them with my car. It's highly amusing to my friends. Not as amusing to me.

Random story time:
Three years ago my best friend, at the time, was obsessed with this hot upper-classman named Timmy. She had the wedding planed out and everything (I still remember the wedding colors; Silver and Baby Blue). It was the most annoying thing in the entire world!! Everyday it was something new about Timmy. "Timmy sat next to me today" "Timmy wore blue today" "Timmy smiled today..." blah blah blah!! The extent of their relationship was a few phone calls. Yeah, they talked once or twice but never made a date. I don't even think they talked for more then 20 mins with each other.

One night, a group of us drove to his house and grabbed a hand full of grass. Yeah, but that wasn't enough. We went back a second time to grab a handful of snow from his yard. It was sad...very very sad. She honestly thought she was going to marry this guy she barely knew. I was a good friend though. I supported her, even though I knew that this stupid fantasy was..well..stupid. I believe that her obsession killed her. I think it made her life harder because she saw something that she wanted but knew she couldn't have. She made this Timmy guy out to be some kind of perfect person that he probably wasn't. She got over it eventually, when she got a REAL boyfriend (thank you GOD!). When I look back on those days of obsession I laugh because we were acting like 12-year-olds. I wonder what happened to that grass that we stole?

:drool:

Chad's brother is possibly one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen.

So here's the story. Amanda and I went to Chad's concert, talked to a few people and we even walked around for a bit, feeling really old (most of the people there were like 14. Yuck!) but then we saw him. ::drool:: He looks just like Chad only older and with a more distinct jaw line. Not only that but he has the most amazing hands I have ever seen. When Chad's band was on stage Amanda and I could help but stare how beautiful Mike (Chad's brother) was. He also has the best smile ever!!! I was able to sit by him for a while. It was a great experience. He didn't talk much. That's ok. He's too pretty to talk.

Amanda and I are going to have to fight with Courtney over him. It might get messy.

Because it's fun to write on shoes, that's why!

I just got back from the College group and boy was it fun!! I could have done without being hit on the head 3 times (what is it with guys and hitting or touching my head???) but it's all good. The people there are so nice!! Not only that but I feel spiritualy better since I've been attending this church group (maybe people at work will stop asking me if I'm Christian lol).

I drank WAY too much Kool-aid and now I think my lips will be forever blue. It was "sad" tasting Kool-aid. It need a lot more sugar because I wasn't nearly as hyper as I should have been. Tamila would have thrown a fit if she had tasted that stuff.

Someone used the word "funner" two times last night. It was...interesting. It reminded me of how Natalie and Tamila would fight over "funner." ::sigh:: those were the good times....anyway, Natalie ended up winning the argument most of the time (proving that Funner was not a word). Sadly, when I tried to tell the guy that "funner" is just not a word he just said that it's used enough that it should be. He continued to say that "ain't" isn't a work either but it's still used. I admited that he had a point. I hung my head in shame after that. I HAVE LET NATALIE JAMES DOWN!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME NATALIE!!


Thursday, Mom is taking me all over town to find a prom dress. I think she's more excited about prom then me. She said something like "don't worry about prices." which is something you DON'T SAY TO ME. Lol, I should go all out and buy gloves, a new purse, and even a little crown. I love shopping with my parents. Not only do they buy the clothes for me but ::prepare for a sappy sentence:: my mom is just fun to shop with. If something doesn't look good on me she tells me. She doesn't beat around the bush.My mom just rocks. I want to take her by American Eagle while we're at the mall. I need some more shirts.

I'm quite excited about friday because I was invited to a "Pajama-rama" party where we will watch movies until our eyes are puffy and blood shot!! SWEET ACTION!!!

I have this awesome idea for a Graduation/Goodbye gift for Ashley but I'm not quite sure if she'll like it. I mean, SHE LOVE IT because it's going to be very sappy and emotional but I'm not sure if she'll really treasure it because...well I can't say much more or else I'll give it away. Let's just say that I got the idea last night after Youth when I playing with my shoes.

I now have an entire shoe dedicated to Ashley. It has almost all of our inside jokes written on it. It saddens me to see a converse all-star shoe with nothing written on it.

I want to make a new shirt for Thursday's Preview (at Sp.8) but I'm not quite sure what to do. Atfirst I thought I'd make that "Natalie James Is My Hero!" shirt but my co-workers really won't get it. The I thought, "Well I still have that yearbook picture of Andrew. I could just swtich the names from Natalie to Andrew." I don't think I want to do that. I think it would weird out Andrew or anyone else who knows Andrew lol. Then I was walking down the hall to go to lunch and I got the greatest idea!! I will go online, find a picture of Bob Goodrich, and put HIM on my shirt!!

Dear lord, protect me from the bunnies. Amen.

I AM SO TICKED BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I WILL BE ATEMPTING TO POST THIS!!

So on Natalie's most recent post she talking about a former friend OD-ing well guess what? That was Linzy. When I heard the news I wasn't quite sure how to take it. Linzy and I were pretty close Soph year. I've watched her fall over these past few years and it really hurts to see a friend sink. She's gone through all this crap that I hate to see her go through more. I want to go see her but they only let families into the psych ward. I guess I'll be praying for her. On the bright side the whole situation has inspired me to paint, but not right now. Moving is not an option. My legs and arms hurt WAY too bad to even think about moving.

Today was nice. I was able to work projection alone as scarey as that is. I had a whole 5 hours to myself and yet I didn't have one single deep thought. In fact the only things that ran through my mind were what chipmunks would look like mud wrestling and "love love me do" by the Beatles. Interesting combination, ain't it?

Good news is that brain damage is at an all time low thanks to me realizing that you must be very careful when lifting your head up after threading the bottom platter.

I wonder...

I wonder what my parents would do if they walked into my room only to find all my furniture against one wall and sitting on the carpet singing Swtichfoot songs while I try to bend a spoon with my mind?

I wonder what my dog would look like with purple stripes down her back?

I wonder what Natalie would do if I grew my hair out long and bleached it blonde then walked around all day with a "NATALIE JAMES IS MY HERO!" shirt?

We thoughts you wass a toadddd....

I was driving home today when I started to think about all these little inside jokes Linzy, Tamila, Natalie, Hannah, and I had. I started laughing so hard that I almost had to pull over. It was great.

The one that really got me laughing had to do with the time when I was over at Natalie's for some kind of sleep over. See, I had told Tamila that there was all these dirty things in Disney films but she didn't believe me. So I started to give her examples. I told her about the "crude image" on the Little Mermaid poster, the word "sex" in Lion King", how Aladdin says "all teenagers take off your clothes", and then I told her about how there was a naked woman in The Rescuers. By that time everyone at Natalie's house (Linzy, Sam, Erin, and who knows who else) had been listening to our conversation. Tamila was really ticked that I could even THINK that Disney would do something dirty like that and said that she required proof. So I said "Fine, I'll just get on the internet and show you. I found this site the other day that has all the proof you'll ever need." So we left to go to Natalie's room to go check out the site on her lap top. Well, as we were in there I can hear the rest of the gang laughing and saying how disgusting is was we were looking at Disney porn. When I heard that I screamed "IT'S NOT PORN!!!" It was so funny because it echoed through the entire house. We all couldn't stop laughing.

Another one that still cracks Hannah up is the time, (once again we were at Natalie's house), that we had all gone out to get Sonic and we had gotten to the point where we had run out of topics to talk about. Some how we got on the topic of Ambesol and how it was supposed to be great for numbing your gums. Hannah then mentioned something about how she wasn't sure that the stuff worked too well. For some reason I decided to show my stupidity and say "One time I put it on my lips, just to test it, and they went numb for like 15 mins!" I swear I had never seen Hannah laugh so hard in my life. I believe Natalie was almost on the floor crying.

But that's just a taste of our little inside jokes. Hehe.

Can you spot the infamous Laura?



So here I am attempting to get Ashley's car on her Birthday. What you don't see is that I decorated her car 4 times. It was great because she'd come home, see I put stuff on her car, wash it, and then the next day I'd just write something new. You can tell this is one of my earlier "decorating jobs" because...

#1-there is not nearly enough streamer on her car
#2-I was caught on camera leaving the scene

OMG look at how red my hair is here!! That is just crazy!

PS- I added some stuff on to my earlier post. It was WAYYYY too short.

Burrrrr, I say it's cold in here!

I think I can actually see my breath. How sad is that? It is colder IN the building then outside.

Today I'm going to exercise for twice as long. Maybe that'll warm me up.

Elle: Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't kill their husbands, they just don't.
-Legally Blonde

Nothing exciting happened today. I just froze my butt off at school. Ashley and I are trying to make plans to rent Kill Bill Vol. 1 on tue. I don't know if we'll actually get together but hey, it's worth a shot. See, we say we'll hang out with each other but we end up being lazy bums and forgetting.

Ashley has really been getting shafted these past few weeks. First off she didn't get the lead part in the spring play she only got "understudy". Then she finds out that she won't even be in the matinee which would be her only chance for the entire school to see her awesome acting abilities. It sucks. I'm glad she has a positive outlook on it all though. You rock Ashley!

In other news I think I have been beating myself in my sleep because every morning I have a new bruise. Well, it's that or aliens have been abducting my body and using it for weird experiments. I'd like to think that it's just me beating myself though.

Speaking of bruises, I saw Tamila today. She's looking well. She and I had a chat about SMS and which dorms we'll be living in. I told her that Katelyn and I will be in Well's House and she should try and get in there.

I'm so happy that I found a room mate!!!

Hahaha...yeah so...yeah.

Wow, if the Sp. 8 had to do a vote of who worries the most, is the most annoying/drama queen, or is the most self-concerned I'd win by a long shot (so I hear). WHOO HOO! Dude, I'd finally win a contest! Do you know how long it's been since I've won a contest?? I totally deserve a trophy (lol) !! I'm serious...I want my darn trophy (lol)!!!!

So Natalie, Hannah, and I hung out the other night. It was so great getting together with them because they're my only friends who read Neil Gaiman stuff. The night was filled with talk of Sandman and Good Omens. We ended up seeing Ella Enchanted, which really sucked, and then hanging out in the lobby talking about the most random stuff. I'm so glad that I can talk to someone about how John Williams is composing the same music for EVERY MOVIE HE DOES (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ET, Minority Report, Harry Potter). I had been ranting about that since we had gotten the new Harry Potter trailer and all my co-workers thought I was crazy. Then we got onto the topic of which season of X-Files I should buy. I don't think we really decided but I do remember hearing Season 2 mentioned quite a bit. I almost told Hannah about me finding out that David Duchovny did some porn (I found that out the hard way...ew. Long story. Let's just say I STILL have problems watching X-Files without getting nasty mental images). I believe we also discussed why Ewan McGregor's new movie is rated NC-17. Justin calls it "porn with a plot". I mean, we could probably guess why it was rated that way but there was a debate whether or not we should view it and just fast forward through the nasty parts.

I really need to hang out with them more. I think I'll go to this week's MOrawk meeting.

So Natalie, Hannah, and I had this HUGE debate over who would make the best Sandman, if there series ever happen to make it to film and we concluded that Johnny Depp would perfect. I mean has the long face. It also helps that he's really hot and has that creepy look to him. If anyone else has read the Sandman series feel free to comment on our choice but I highly doubt that anyone else who reads this blog is dorky enough to read Neil Gaiman's graphic novels.

I've decided that my second choice in life would be to grow up to be a hobbit. Let's face it people, hobbits rock. Sure you have to deal with the big hairy feet and height issue but that's worth it when you consider that you'll be merry all the time! Dancing on tables, finding wicked awesome rings that make you invisible, and even hanging out with hobbits that are cool like Elijah Wood! Dude, that would rock!!!

Kristen has invited me to her murder mystery party and I'm totally excited. At Ashley's party I was "Ineda Man", the local flirt who worked at the post office, and I really didn't have that much of a part but this time I'm hoping that I'm the murderer. Kristen can you do that for me? I want to be all sneaky!!

Longfellow Deeds: Whoa, you kinda snuck up on me there...
Emilio: I am, very very sneaky Sr.

Note to self: Hitting your head on the middle platter hurts

Can someone tell me whose idea it was to have everyone and their "momma" come to the theater today??! Seriously, don't people have something better to do than come to the theater and cause problems? What's funny is that today I was supposed to be learning how to open projection I ended up spending only 2 hours up there. The rest of my time was spent serving Eeeevil children popcorn.

I am debating whether or not to have a graduation party. I really don't want to have people over to my house. It requires too much, by that I mean it requires people to ACTUALLY see my house and that's too much lol. There's nothing special about my house lol. It's just a house with doors, windows, and possibly that ghost that opens and shuts doors in my room. That house isn't that big. I just don't know. I get weirded out when people come over. They look around at all my stuff and touch my stuff and mess with my stuff lol. It's so funny because the only people who have been over here are Natalie, Hannah, Tamila, Linzy, and Ashley. Heck, Ashley is my best friend and she's seen my house once lol. I like going to other people's house's. It's just better that way. Like Natalie's house. IT ROCKS!!! I love the little cubby behind the stairs. Or Hannah's house with the hobbit hole!!


***************************


ARG I FORGOT TO BORROW THAT STUPID CD FROM CHAD!! Now I have to drive all the way to the theater. That's fine, I was going to let Justin borrow Zoolander anyway. I think I'll drop by Ashley's and see what she's up to. Maybe she'll want to drive to the Mud House.

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin', Workin' at the car wash blues

Haha Jim Croce has a song for everything (that's where my title comes from)! Anyway I just spent about 2 hours cleaning my car and all I could think about was that song and how much it makes me laugh.

In other news one of my managers shaved his head and now looks somewhat like the lead singer of Cold Play (stop drooling Hannah, Natalie, Megan, and all you other people obsessed with Cold Play). It's so funny because he hates it so much but it looks awesome.

If bitten, I do bite back.

Tonight I decorate Alyson's car (not you ALISON. You have nothing to fear). It shall be beautiful. I have enlisted the help of Justin (co-worker) and possibly Daniel (guy training me in Booth/projection). Justin knew originally that I was going to do this so I really didn't have to ask him to keep a secret. As for Daniel, the only way he'll let me go on break is if I let him help. [Sandor, you are welcome to help but we have to do it around 11-ish. If we do it too early then things will start falling off.] I'm so afraid that when Alyson finally sees the car she'll attack me. She'll go right for the hair, I know it!!! I'm praying that she won't assume it's me but frankley, everyone knows that I do this whole car decoration gig. There's no use in trying to hide it. Maybe, if I'm lucky, she'll think Amanda did it lol.

Lori kind of knows what's going on but she couldn't and still can't figure out who I'm doing it to. Her first guess was Andrew probably because when we were at lunch the other day she was talking about how I could really get him good. I do plan getting him, but I have to do it at the least expected time. Anyway, so Lori couldn't figure out who tonight's victim is but I told her I'd show her the job once I was done. Which reminds me. I need to run home and grab the digital camera as well as a disposable?camera.

You all should see all the crap I got to put on Alyson's car. MUHAHAHA.


2-500 ft rolls of streamer. Green and Blue.
2-200 ft rolls of Saran Wrap
2-100 ft rolls of clear wrapping paper
4 or 5 "Window Chalk" pens
5 or 6 sporkes decorated with random sayings about sporkes
other random items that shall be taped to the car


I saw Hell Boy last night and it really wasn't bad! In fact I'll probably rent it on video. Laurie kept making really funny comments all the way through the movie. I almost poked her a few times so that I wouldn't laugh during one of those sappy love scenes. There's just something funny about a big red guy with filed down hornes kissing a girl who's who covered in blue flames.

Twords the end of the movie Laurie and I decided that we need a tail like Hell Boy. That way we could use it to do things that once seemed impossible. Like pat our heads and rub our bellies at the same time.

Laurie said I looked really cute in my new 99 cent scarf and bright green V.S. top (Ashley you saw that top. It's the one I wore when we went downtown). Which is awesome because I was a little skeptical of that whole ensemble. DARN THE REST OF YOU PEOPLE FOR NOT COMMENTING ON HOW CUTE I LOOKED!!

Bringing a pillow to the employee meeting, though tempting, is a bad idea

I don't want to go to the stupid employee meeting on Sat. I mean, sure, we get these wicked awesome certificates but honestly that will be the only highlight of the hour. Last time, the only way I stayed awake was by asking really stupid difficult questions. I don't have time to come up with more!!!!! I guess I could bring a sporke with me and jab it into my leg everytime I start to fall asleep but self-destruction doesn't sit well with me. Hehehe sporkes, that reminds me....MUAHAHAHAAHHA!!! Anyway, back to the meeting...I know there is some way I can make it more entertaining. If I could I would bring in my sketch book and do doodles of the managers but I think that's considered rude . Or I could throw gummie bears at the people talking but I'd perfer to not get beat up in the parking lot.

I started writing a new template for my page last night. I took this one I found called "Java" and I'm adding some flavor. I'm so proud!! As Kris (Ashley's Boyfriend) puts it, I'm "one of the few girls who takes interest in learning and writing HTML." How sad is that? HTML is so easy to learn and it's just another form of art, if you ask me, yet some girls get freaked out when they see all the codes.

I'm so giddy today, it's not even funny. Even Ashley took note of my cheery appearence. When I walked up to her during lunch she said "Laura you look really good toady. In fact your glowing!" Hehehe, that only added to my good mood. Mimi caught me randomly laughing a few times. Mimi's pretty cool and she didn't make fun of me but she did look at me weird a few times. It's not my fault that the most random things come to mind!

I didn't get to tell this story yesterday but I thought I could throw it in today. See yesterday we went to go see those two movies. I ended up having to pick up Amanda and being a bit late. So as we're walking into the 16's lobby I say to her "Hop on my back. It's going to be faster!" So she jumps right up there and we go galloping in to the theater. We were laughing so hard that I almost dropped her. A few of the ushers gave us looks but we didn't have enough time to beat them up. By the time we made it into the actual theater the house lights had been brought down and we couldn't see where the rest of our group was sitting. I basicly pushed her off and we ran to find Lori on the opposite side of where we came in. After the movie we both agreed that I should have kept her on my back until we got to our seats because it would have been hilarous to see the looks on our group's faces.
