LAME

The rant wasn't worth finishing so I am posting this instead:

Ryan: stupid pirated copy is a vcd, which means i have to install a special player

At this point I am saying "arr...tis a pirated copy...arr!" and giggling

Ryan: teh lame
Me: yes
Me: lame!
Ryan: lol
Ryan: i say that word way too much these days
Me: that's lame
Me: you should stop using lame so much
Me: you're lame for using it too much
Ryan: roflcake
Ryan: lame
Ryan: lame
Ryan: lame
Me: I'm glad we're not being redundant here
Ryan: yeah, that would be lame

Quick Rant

I have been living in the MSU photo lab for the past month or so in an attempt to get my final project done EXACTLY one day early. This way should something happen, God forbid, I have at least one class peroid to fix it. So I go into the lab today and go up to one of the few open enlargers only to notice that someone else is using it. Which wasn't a big deal. I just went to the englarger next to it (the same make and model) and start to set my stuff down. As I am gently placing my negative binder on the englarger the girl who was using the enlarger next to it says to me, "I'm using that one." To which I respond, "Oh I thought you were using that other one." To which SHE responds, "I AM." This girl was hogging TWO ENGLARGERS!! TWO!! And for what you ask? FOR CONTACT SHEETS!! She wasn't even working on her final project!! Amazingly enough she turns out to be one of those uber stuck-up photography girls who thinks she knows everything about everything and that since she has had ONE more class then me, that her needs surpass mine.

For Thanksgiving

This year, I am thankful for a mother who will call me on Thankgiving and sing "Happy Turkey Day" over and over on my voice mail. My mom rocks.

Another "chat"

L-Dub:
Yay! Hannah's online!!
haazaaha!

Ben:
oh, that clemens...moving so very far away...

L-Dub:
I know
she sucks
speaking of which, how's Michael?

Ben:
haven't heard from him in a while
that usually means he's doing well

L-Dub:
That's good. Usually when people don't hear from me for long periods of time it usually means I've fallen into some sort of dark well
then I start haunting video tapes and I grow my hair out long and I drip water all over the floor
it's just a huge mess

Ben:
oh, great
this means I'll be seeing you in about 4 days

L-Dub:
lol

Ben:
should never have played that tape...

L-Dub:
probably

If you know me, then you know how much time I put into wrapping packages and presents for people. I've always felt that people should "oo" and "ahh" before they even open the package. The people at the post office know me as "the girl with the kooky packages". I've spray painted tubes filled with movie posters and drawn all over evelopes filled with photos. Half of the crap that I've sent out to my friends in LA is spray painted. Anyway, I just finished this tiny little birthday present today. I'm quite happy with it. It's spray painted 3 different colors and the postage stamps and stickers are REALLY from Japan (saved from a package I got from eBay). I'm really, really fond of this one. I'd like to not that I am wearing this Asian style top in the photo. I swear that was an accident.

Andrew: "what did I miss? WHAT DID I MISS?" (refering to LOST)
Me: Your mom! [forgetting that Andrew's mom is dead and it's one of those topics that you just don't bring up...]
Andrew: ::silent::
Andrew: "That's right Laura. I miss my mother every day of my life. Thank you for reminding me of her terrible death."

It doesn't mean anything at all

I am: adorable

Thoughts made in my Moleskin book durring my PLS class:

"The Role of the Media eh?...hmm ROLL of the Media...mmm Media Roll...mmmm with butter and jelly..mmmm Media Roll so fresh and informative"

"They should make dektol and fixer [photography chemicals] smell like strawberry cupcakes. That way my hands smell delicious after printing in the lab. On second thought, no. That would be a terrible idea. I might be tempted to nibble on my hands. Lord knows I already try to fight off those cannibilistic urges already."

"Do woodchucks really chuck wood? Why wood? What's so special about wood anyway?"

"On Saturday Andrew will dress up as Cillian Murphy and I will dress as a zombie and we will re-enact 28 Days Later for the employees at the 8. It will be the most fantastic work day ever."

It's gone too far

I love being an Advanced Photography student.

Sophmore year of highschool...

Me: (looking at text book in history class) I don't understand why all of the great artists were so messed up in the head. Why do you think that is?
Natalie: I don't know Laura, you're the artist. You tell me.

Death by corny joke

Andrew: "I'm hungry" ::holds hand over growling stomach::
Me: "Well, hi hungry, I'm..." ::laughs::
Andrew: "STOP. Do NOT finish that sentence." ::with hand over eyes, ashamed that he knows me::
Me: "..I'm Laura! It's nice to meet you hungry!"
Andrew: "Ew. Stop. Don't ever do that again."
Me: "But it's funny! Get it? See you said 'I'm hungry' and I replied.."
Andrew: "Stop. I get it. It's not funny."
Me: "Yes it is."
Andrew: "No it's not."
Me: "Yes it is."
Andrew: "No."
Me: "But it's funny!"
Andrew: "It's LAME!! You know it's probably because of these lame jokes that guys won't date you."
Me: "....."
Andrew: "Nah..I kid! Your jokes do suck though." ::laughs::
Me: "I hate you."
Andrew: "No you don't."
Me: "Yes I do."
Andrew: "Aw. No you don't."
Me: "Hey! How do you turn a baby into a dog?"
Andrew: "Oh God..."
Me: "Throw it in a trash can, drench it with lighter fluid, throw in a match and WOOF!"
Andrew: "See I would have gone with 'bury it in the ground, let it grow into a tree and then see, it's got bark!' Eh?"
Me: "...."
Andrew: "Hey that was pretty good right?"
Me: "...."
Andrew: "RIGHT?!"
Me: "I think we're missing something important."

I'd like to note that this whole conversation took place during church service tonight.

hoe...

Hm. My emotional high seems to be dwindling. Dang. I should pop in "Just Friends" and drool over Ryan Reynolds for a bit.

Vincent: What?

Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bull in order to be comfortable?

Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.

Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

Is there some kind of support group I can join for this?

Sam: I had a big crush on Scarlett Johansson before she did The Island
Me: lol
Sam: But ever since I saw that...meh. hehe
Me: ever since she hit rock bottom she just hasn't been as hot
Me: lol
Sam: lol
Sam: Well
Sam: She was just so amazing in A Love Song for Bobby Long and Lost in Translation
Sam: I really thought she looked like the most talented actress who's ever lived
Sam: But then she sold out
Me: that whore
Sam: That's the third time you've called someone a whore tonight. Such anger!
Sam: I like it.
Me: I seem to have a problem NOT using that word
Me: Let's see who I've called a whore tonight: My boss (she giggled when I called her it), most of my fellow management staff (they too enjoyed it), Michael, Ben, and Scarlett Johansson
Sam: That's so mean!
Sam: You whore.
Sam: For some reason I love the word whore. I have no idea why.
Me: It rolls off the tongue and into the hearts of millions. Mmm whore...

On a side note: I only called Michael and Ben whores because...

Sam: Well, Michael and Ben were supposed to call me sometime tonight...but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Me: Those whores...

I can't wait for Sunday Church!!

Me: do you think zombies ever get thirsty?
Me: I mean, they're hungry all the freakin' time!
Lindsay: heh
Lindsay: maybe not, because they get some blood?..
Me: ew
Lindsay: yeah
Me: but you'd think that blood alone wouldn't be able to hydrate them
Lindsay: they dont need it though..
Lindsay: theyre zombies.
Me: yeah but they "need" to eat flesh
Me: why is that, by the way?
Me: why exactly are undead creatures hungry?
Lindsay: theyre jealous of how alive they are..
Lindsay: so theyre like."oh my gosh! they look so goood!"
Lindsay: so they eat them
Me: lol
Me: it is all making sense now
Lindsay: yess
Me: we should convert some zombies to Christianity
Me: then they could be hungry for christ
Lindsay: ohh maybe
Lindsay: problem though..
Lindsay: zombies dont exsist.
Me: psh
Me: next you're going to tell me that leprechauns don't exist
