12/17/02 - Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...
 
Yeah, so I guess I'm fifteen now. I don't feel any older. This morning I was kinda sad cause I kept having to remind people of my birthday. But then Matt and Robert decorated my locker with stolen decorations and I felt better. Mrs. Swenson had the whole class sing to me and then its down to lunch where I got one of the loudest singings of Happy Birthday I've ever heard (I have friends! The drama people can teach us all how to PROJECT!)
 
Rehearsal actually went kinda good. I think practicing without Orth there was actually kind of a good thing. And Tyler gave me a compliment by saying that I scared him (as student director) more than Roxy does. I'm good at that.
 
Tonight I'm going out to dinner for my birthday! Isnt that just happy-haptapular?
 
 
12/7/02 - Party recap! It wasnt just a party it was a PAR-TAY. Pretty much everyone showed up, but Roxanne was grounded for unknown reasons. We listened to music and played pool and watched movies and stuff, and people bought me a bunch of presents (mostly nightmare before xmas stuff) and we generally had a good time. My metcaf and nicollet friends got introduced to Mike, and non drama ninjas got to meet nicollet ninjas.
 
This morning i had PPR, (Post party recovery). The worst things were those little red thingys from Robyns present. But i just vaccumed them up! Now I have all this leftover food and am eating the rest of the cheesy poofs as we speak.
 
11/29/02 - Day after Thanksgiving. Well, yesterday we had the whole American traditional thing with people (my cousin and her husband, my grandpa and my uncle) come over and we had turkey and the works until we all got really tired and just sort of sat around on the couch for awhile. My dad kept having me try some of his wine but I think he gave me more than he intended to because it was pretty much like this :
Dad : Here, have some of this. (hands glass to Lauren)
Lauren : Okay, sure (Sips wine)
(KAFRYN'S HAND ON CAMERA - FIVE MINUTES LATER)
Dad : Here, try some of this (hands same glass to Lauren that she just sampled)
Lauren : Okay, sure. (Sips wine.)
Repeat numerous times.
Its not like i got drunk or anything, I just got a little more tired than I usually do.
 
This morning, we went out to breakfast with my cousin and her husband at a place in downtown Minneapolis called Hell's Kitchen. Its really cool, there are stuffed vultures all around and the walls are black and red. The waitresses are all gothic and half of them are in their pajamas. And they have really really good breakfasts. (Damn good food as the menu likes to say)
 
Then we just sort of wandered around in the skyways for an hour or two, looking around at Marshall Field's for a coat for my mom and doing other shopping related things. Then my parents decided my brother and I need to so something cultured so we went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts for an hour or two to look around. Not that that was a bad thing. I actually like looking at art, I guess that's kinda geeky, but all my mom wanted to look at was stuff from 15th century Europe, so we did that and pretty much left, but I saw an original Lichtenstein on the way out (the guy who did the big comic book things with the ink dots)
 
Going to the museum got me thinking about this piece of art I had. In sixth grade we made collages that were supposed to be in the style of Henri Matisse. Mine turned out really, really good. I mean I even thought it was good, which I usually don't. Well mine and a couple others Mrs. Shaw (art teacher @ byrne) decided to get framed to hang up in the school. Well mine fell of the wall and they put it up in the office until the janitors would fix it, but before that could happen, Mrs. Bennet (the old art teacher at byrne who retired) came in and saw it and TOOK IT. That really pisses me off cause she hung it up someplace called the Link Center. I don't know where the hell that is and I WANT MY DAMN ART BACK. It was really good. So if anyone knows where the link center is, please let me know.
 
So we got back from the museum and my dad and my brother asked me if I wanted to go to Best Buy. I thought it would be a quick trip, but they ended up going to target, circut city, and taco bell too and I didn't really feel like shopping so I felt like I had been tricked into this big long trip looking for useless stuff. Best Buy my ass.
 
Then I got home and my mom told me Ashley called and I couldn't get a hold of her because her phone is messed up and every time I try to call it says that she lives in a new area code. I KNEW SHE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ME.
 
Now its late and holy moly I just made a really long journal entry. If you read this far you get a special prize just tell me if you did and I'll think of something to give you. I just realized that after I put up my diary page on my site everyone else did too. Thats okay, we all copy eachother anyways. I suppose I should go to bed.
 
9/26/02 - I think my audition yesterday went really well, except he cut me off on my Heidi part before I was done. Either this means I did really good or bad or he just ran out of time, but it made me nervous. I'll just have to see on Monday. AHH it takes so long.
 
I am so happy today is a short week. Just one more day of school and then its THANKSGIVING. One of the many major holidays that I eat my way through. Then we can start counting down the days till Christmas, which I think some of the major department stores are already doing. Oh yeah, and my birthday is coming up. Its a week before Christmas, so all those holidays just kinda melt together into one big check. Yes, I'm going to be rich by the time January comes around, I can just feel it. My aunts and uncles dont know what to get me, so I get money. Not that I'm complaining. I have big plans for that moolah.
 
11/21/02 - Wow my life is so boring it almost doesn't deserve this commentary I'm running. Oh, well. I suppose that when I'm like in my twenties I can look back at this and see what a retard i was. Like I had a science test today. It was weird, cause she let us write on the packets and there were some questions I'm sure she didn't teach us. But I'm good at making educated guesses so I hope I did alright. Thats how I got into the Geography Bee...lol.
 
I think my parents think I'm a hippie. I got these vibes when I told them I was going to audition for the flower child. Like 'oh it wouldnt be acting'. Well I suppose it depends on your definition of hippie.
 
11/19/02 - Sorry, folks, I felt my diary page was getting too long with too many entries on it so i made a new one. Don't worry. I'll archive my old pages in case some of my devoted fans wants to relive my past experiences.
 
IM SO EXCITED! PRE AUDITION MEETING WAS TODAY! Wow I'm obsessive. I already know what parts I'm auditioning for. Debbie in Time In Time Out and Heidi in Final Exam. I think I'd rather be Heidi. I'm really feeling that part. However, if Alley gets the geek part in TITO, Ashley gets the prep part who's crushed on by Alley, and I get the flower child.... CREEPY. It would be just like Kafryn's movie.
  
 
11/12/02 - GET ME OUTTA HERE! I seriously can't spend another day in Junior High. I'm sick of stupid people, I'm sick of hearing who's going out with who and I'm sick of sevies who think they're automatically cool if they say 'bitch'. Everybody thinks I'm so smart and I'm sick of it because I just think they're stupid. Everyone has this pack mentality that makes me think they'd be easy to control. Hmm I'll have to think about this more.
 
I sit behind Mikey York in science and the whole time I'm there I'm thinking how I wish I had a crossbow.
 
On the upside, CHANHASSEN TOMMORROW! Yay I get to spend time with people I actually don't hate.
 
11-3-02 - I had so much fun at Kafryn's party last night! We made a couple movies, and they were really stupid but it was worth it because it was fun making it. We made a horror one and a Jerry Springer one. Disturbing. We also started to watch Puppetmaster and Nightmare Before Christmas. We also have pictures that I know are going to be used against us someday, because we were all getting a little...cough...well we were basically laying on eachother and having pretend orgies but it was fun. Naseem, Jonjon and I decided that we're Swedish (Svedish) so we spent the night talking in accents and I have a feeling Tim's going to come to school on Monday still calling Naseem and I his Swedish bitches. Silly American boys. 
 
10-27-02 - I'm really tired so I'll make this short. The play is over. Opening night went really good. Friday night was better. Saturday was just sad. Everybody was having a crisis, it seemed like. Add that to the sad feeling of leaving all our Nicollet friends behind, and it was a tearfest. THE PLAYS STILL ROCKED. THE ACTORS KNOCKED MY SOX OFF!. Now I just have to look forward to the cast party and the one acts. Oh yea, and the CHANHASSEN!
 
10-23-02 - I have been having rehearsals so often, its been quite a while since I wrote in here. And alot has happened.
 
First off, my bird is dead. My dog Marty killed him. I didn't have much time to get attached, but its still really sad. I'm planning to get another bird, but I have to wait till after the play.
 
Speaking of the play, opening night is tommorrow! I'm so excited! Also really nervous. If you don't come, I'm coming to get you because I think you'd all like it.
 
Naseem and Brian are having Metcalf Drama's first vampiric wedding ceremony. I get to be the maid of honor. 

 
 
10-17-02 - Well thats just great. My computer finally gets fixed and right after I get a chance to get on my brother discovers Instant Messenger and wants to be on it 24/7. Thats why my site hasn't been edited for awhile. Jeeze that irks me.
 
On the upside, I got a pet parakeet. After much consideration I decided to name him Georgie because...well...its a cute name and it reminds me of Once Upon a Playground. He's really nice and will let me pet him and stuff. awww. I want to go see The Ring sometime this weekend. If u wanna go, email me. I want to get a big group to come.
 
10-11-02 - Well, if you noticed that I haven't updated my site or had any new diary entries in awhile, its because my computer has been really fooked up (as Naseem and Danielle would say) My dad had to totally re install everything to get this new scanner to work. BUT IT WORKS! I just haven't had any time to put pics up. Never fear, this week is MEA's so I'll have lots of time to work on my super site. BEWARE! YOUR PICTURE MAY SOON BE APPEARING ON PINKPAJAMAS!
 
Well, I can't write much more, since I have a party at Dan's to attend. *Scared*. I'll have to tell you guys how that went in my next entry. See ya!
  
10-5-02 - You know, alot of people complain about having to listen to people, I do myself, but today was one of those days when its harder to have people listening to you. We had set building at the high school and Mr. Orth had me up with costumes. Eep. Nobody could find anything, and we might have to rent for certain roles. People kept asking me questions I didn't know the answers to, and getting pissed at me when I didn't. I was really overwhelmed with work, and then I almost exploded when Nicole Nelson actually accused me of stealing her job. I had been working my ass off and it took every ounce of my strength not to just let loose and start screaming at her. 
 
I got home and now I'm tired and cranky. Leave me alone.
 
10-4-02 - Today I went to a soup party. I know what you're thinking. What is this 'soup party' and why was my good friend Lauren at one?
 
Well to the best of my knowledge, it is a party where they serve you soup. My family got invited to one of these by some people my parents are friends with, and I ended up going with. Actually, as I type this my parents are still there. There was nobody there close to my age besides Mazi *ahem* and I asked my parents if I could just eat my soup and leave. So now I'm sitting here writing stupid diary entries on my site. What an interesting life I lead. One moment I'm at a soup party, what will I be up to next?
 
10-3-02 - Well I really have nothing to say to you people...
 
Umm today went well. I feel like I need to put in an entry now and then but my life IS SO BORING. I think I should put suction cups on my hands and feet and attempt to climb the walls.
 
During student service today I was listening to Mrs. Kuziej and Mr. Soderholm talk. They were gossiping about all these teachers but they used their first names so I couldnt understand who they were talking about. Othewise I could have gotten u guys some juicy gossip. Jeez that pisses me off..
 
9-30-02 - Well our play is going down the crapper. Thats okay because this weekend I made a stupid movie at Kafryns house and went to Naseem's party which was really fun. Except certain...things happened. I wont give any specifics but people were gettting... oh never mind.
 
I bought the cd Start Static by Sugarcult today. Its pretty good but I'm excited for tommorrow because that's when the new GOOD CHARLOTTE cd comes out!!!!! THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS!! My dad already promised me he'd take me out to buy it.
 
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
9-24-02 - I'm so excited. Today was a short day. That means that school starts at nine instead of seven. To celebrate this extra 2 hours, I made myself scrambled eggs for breakfast. Whee! School went good, except for the fact that my posse is now waging gang warfare on farmer brown, bessie, don king, and the rest of his fat albert people. Oh well. The world is a violent place. Rehearsal also went well. Telltale heart had most of their lines memorized. *Tear* I'm so proud! My mom went go go see SIR Paul McCartney yesterday and I dont think she's fully recovered yet. o_0
 
9-21-02 - Can I please vent about my day here? Thank you. Yesterday was going really well and I was looking forward to rehearsal. I get outside and was waiting for the shuttle bus to the highschool with Naseem and Danielle. Raquel, Nicole, and Maggie were also out there. Well, the bus didn't come. After half an hour we went inside to complain to Mr. Leek. He said they called the bus company and the bus was on its way. Well, we waited another half hour and it didnt come. We needed to get to rehearsal, so Danielle, Naseem and I went into the office to try and figure out what was going on and we told Raquel and them to wait out there in case it came while we were inside.The office ladies just acted like it was our fault and we missed it and were acting like we were the stupid ones. Well the people waiting outside must have panicked because we went back outside and they were inside calling for a ride and the soccer players told us that the bus came and left cause we werent there. ARGH! Then I tried to get back inside to call my mom but the soccer players wouldnt let me in. I think they were trying to be funny or something but I seriously was banging on the doors telling them to let me in. You know what they did?? They laughed in my face. DIE DIE DIE!!! Well, I ended up having to run around to the other side of the building to get in and I was halfway around the corner when they opened the door and went 'oh Lauren come back we were just kidding!' I just kept going. I wouldnt go through that door if they paid me. Well, my mom was at my grandparents because she assumed the bus was coming to pick me up. So I called Mr. Orth and he basically told me that I could either get a ride home or get a ride to BHS. Finally we got a hold of Naseem's dad and he gave us a ride to rehearsal but we were already an hour and a half late. I felt partly responsible because I'm student director and I'm supposed to have a handle on these things, but I was majorly pissed.
 
Lets review who I'm mad at :
-The BUS COMPANY who cant even keep the schedule of their jobs but nobody cares because we're just kids and its not like we have anything important to do anyway. They're so stupid its probably why they're chauffering junior high kids around instead of having a real job. I bet none of them made it past 7th grade.
 
-The SOCCER TEAM. Well not all of them, mostly Jessica Wagner and her little friend who wouldnt let me in. Also all the people that saw the bus come for us and didnt hold it. I usually dont have grudges against people because of their social group because people are basically nice but can I please say it this once? GODDAMN PREPS! I bet if i was popular they would have let me in. I would have let them in no matter what they did.
 
-The OFFICE LADIES. They just assume that we are bouncing off the walls and automatically say we missed the bus. They dont know us, the least they could do is give me the benefit of the doubt and a little respect. I have to say that one of them was really nice in trying to find us a way to get to the highschool though. I cant remember her name but I wouldnt have gotten through to Mr. Orth if it werent for her.
 
Well the day ended okay though. I went to the dance and acted crazy. We made a mosh pit during a slow song and we square danced. I think weird insane people have the most fun.
 
Thanks for letting me tell u guys all this. You are my true friends if you actually sat through all my bitching. I feel better now. I just needed to release my anger or somebody would end up dead.
 
9-16-02 - I GOT STUDENT DIRECTOR!!!!
 
BOO YA BOO YA BOO YA BOO YA BOO YA BOO YA BOO YA
 
I'm so happy. This was what I wanted. Now everybody is listening to ME! MUHAHAHA! I'm kinda surprised Mr. Orth put ME in a position of leadership. I feel sorry for the cast. heehee.
 
The rehearsal went good but I'm going to need to go over pronunciation with the actors. The guy we got to play Poe was really good. He sounded creepy. The Nicollet people were also really nice to me. But then again who wouldnt be nice to me?
 
Yesterday, at the bike tour, my dad saw a guy that fell off his bike and was laying on the pavement after a big hill with a group of people standing around him. He was in his fifties and looked like he was having a heart attack. My dad was the one to call over some police to check it out. Well I looked at the news today and it turns out the guy died. Weird.
 
9-15-02 - Today I just biked 30 miles. Argh. I can't believe I did it. I went on the Saint Paul Classic bike tour and went in a loop around Saint Paul. They had all the roads blocked off and everything. Poor Ashley was going to come but she got sick. I bet she's just faking it. Stupid faker Ashboo.
 
Argh. I'm so nervous. Tommorrow I find out if I got casted or not in Nightchills. Wish me luck.
 
PS - I know I'm saying argh alot but its only because I'm a PIRATE! Nobody but the captain says argh.
 
9-12-02 - God, teachers can be stupid. We had to write these continuing the story things in English, and Mrs. Sikrowski really liked mine so she asked me to read it to the class. I was fine with this and so I read it. It was about this guy assasinating Hitler in his imagination. Well, once I sat down she said, "This was a really good story and I'm sorry to say I used this as the yardstick by which I graded all your stories."
 
I'm complimented but JEEZ. What a way to get people mad at me.
 
Thanks, Mrs. Sikrowski...
 
9-11-02 - Well September 11th is here. All the teachers told us to wear red white and blue, and all the television stations had round the clock coverage (except for nickelodeon and the disney channel). Yet somehow, even with all the attention it's getting, I feel numb to it. No matter what I do I just can't feel that feeling of sadness I had on that day. Even watching the replays of the planes hitting, its like I've seen them too many times to react. I just can't feel sad enough.  Does anyone else feel like this?
 
I was thinking about this last night and two quotes from some of my favorite books came to my head.
 
"Whenever something eventful or tragic happens in this country, we have to plate it in gold. Like baby shoes. That way we can put it on a shelf and forget."
-Exerpt from Carrie by Steven King
 
"Always innocent are the first victims. So it has been for ages past, so it is now."
-Exerpt from Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K. Rowling
