iTunes: "Certain Shade of Green"
You're stirring up something fierce with your actions.

Fashionably Angry
I've been hiding this for a while now, but I think it's time to come clean. Time, to unshade the dark part of my life and admit the dirty, dirty truth....
I do believe I am madly in love with Anderson Cooper. Who would have thought that CNN could be so sexy?
But in all seriousness...here's my post:
iTunes: "Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach
I am: Facetious
I think I can bring myself to tell you all that I spent a good hour discussing with one of my employees why Superman could never procreate (an argument which I'm sure will posted in the days that follow just for the pure entertainment vaule it holds).
I must admit that being awoken on a daily basis, an hour BEFORE my alarm is about to go off, to be reminded that you dog is dying, is not what I would call a "good begining" to any day. Hm.

Yooozah!
I drew this up a few days ago. I've decided that this will be my new emblem. I heart it with a passion!

Et tu, Brute?- Then fall Caesar
"Romans, countrymen, and lovers! Hear me for the cause and be silent that you may hear" I am proud to announce that I finally finished Julius Caesar. Yes, I know. ::Bows to the tremendous applause that surely following this announcement:: You may stop applauding now. I know I'm awesome. What is next on Laura's summer reading list, you ask? Well, it's a touch decision between Hamlet, Macbeth (both of which I have already read but do not own) and Antony and Cleopatra. I'm leaning toward the last one (I'm a sucker for those tragic love stories, well, that and any story that incorporates death by snake bite is always a winner).

I have of late,—but wherefore I know not,—lost all my mirth
Act II, Scene ii
I've found myself in a perpetual state of boredom. Nothing seems to really entertain me anymore. Maybe it's the fact that doing things by yourself just isn't the same but everything seems a dull shade of gray. I went to the MSU Design Gallery to view an exhibit that had enticed me (naturally by myself because once again, no one held any interest in something that interested me) and found that what was supposed to be the highlight of my day, was more of just a mere distraction. I've been attempting to do things interesting like checking out new, indie comic book shops, browsing the ARMY surplus store for excellent deals on BDUs (you never know when you'll need a good camo outfit), watching fantastic art films at the Moxie, and even listening to a few of my favorite local bands, but it's all just monotonous junk to fill time without someone else.

Sometimes I find myself more amusing than those around me.
Example: I have a dog who enjoys running out the door ever chance she gets and when I say run...I mean really run. We usually spend about 10-20 minutes trying to get her back into the house because she finds it entertaining to see us dash after her. So you can only imagine that we do whatever possible to keep her from running out. Well, today, my mom had to take a few trash bags outside and requested that I distract our precious puppy from the fact that a window of opportunity (to her freedom) would open. So, I promptly lock both of the elbow joints with both arms sticking straight out in front of me, sporting "spirit fingers" and wave both hands in front of the dogs face while screaming in a creepy Michael Jackson-esque voice, "I'M A DISTRACTION! I'M A DISTRACTION". Of course the dog was not amused. In fact she was quite bored with my act. So much so, that she just walked away. I, on the other hand, found my act quite funny.
