Dominique, you are never going to believe who I saw at Starbucks on Wednesday night. Mr. Most Attractive himself, Dane Thorwaldson.
I was sitting there, and I looked over, and SMACK! There he was. He's still as blonde as ever. but he's put on a bit of weight.

Hope everything is peachy in Scotland. <3

When leaving voicemail messages, I think that I sometimes forget that I'm leaving a message, and not actually talking to the person.

Dominique, sorry if my message is completely stupid. I think my brain is melted.

Tonight I referred to Alex as "my very own newsie!"

Jessica and Bethany found this very amusing.

PSST.

BRIGHT NEW LAYOUT!! I like it. It's all bright and shiny. :)

Working up at the office this week. We're going to go get lunch soon, which is good, because Laura = HUNGRYYYYYYYYYY.

I definitely ROCK at this receptionist thing.

SNOW! ON CHRISTMAS EVE!! It was so beautiful. It stayed until well into Christmas Day, too!

So, Merry Christmas, all! And Happy New Year.

I'm heading back to New Orleans soon after 2005 hits. Classes start the 10th, if I remember correctly, which is doubtful. At any rate, hope everyone is having a wonderful break.

<3

BABIES MAKE YOU SMART.

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 19:23:29 GMT

SERIOUSLY!
I went over to the childcare center this morning at 7.30 to get in 2 volunteer hours before (and for) my 9.30 class. I started out in the toddler/baby room, then shifted over to the Just Babies room at 8.15. OMG SO CUTE. I gave one a bottle and held him and NNNGH, so ADORABLE!
But then, in class this morning, I got so many BRILLIANT ideas for my project that I have to present on Thursday.
I concluded that it must've been the babies.

Mmhmm.

Babies make you smarter.

Bethany and i were Bonding tonight, and she had her pointe shoes on and was dancing around her room.

watching her made me wish i'd continued in dance. i loved it.
dunno if i can really go back, either. it might be fun.

whatever. i'm heading to bed soon.

I LOVE HALLOWEEN.

Jessica and Maggy and i are going trick or treating tonight after dinner. we're going to be hippies, most likely. it's going to be so much fun!

tonight is another midnight session of Hide and Seek in the music building. last night was so much fun.

Tue, 12 Oct 2004 19:00:47 GMT

absolutely GORGEOUS day outside, and where am i?

stuck inside- either doing homework or in class.

what to say?

Fri, 08 Oct 2004 15:06:46 GMT

i'm in the library.

i was studying for my english test, which i have in 22 minutes, and i just could not keep my eyes open. i ended up taking a short nap. not cool.

i don't really have anything to update on. i'm a pretty boring person, lol.

DOMINIQUE! have you decided on a date yet? just keep me informed :)

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:52:55 GMT

DOMINIQUE! i'm watching Dawson's Creek on TBS right now!!

i love Pacey.

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 18:42:14 GMT

-- fled a hurricane
-- woken up at 4am
-- been on 2 road trips
-- slept until noon everyday except twice
-- spent time with some of the most awesome and wonderful people i've ever known
-- been scared out of my mind

now i'm back. we fled new orleans because of hurricane ivan, which totally crapped out on us: no rain, just some wind, from what i hear.
Ashley drove us. she's spectacular and fantastic, everyone should praise her and shower her with expensive gifts.
both our road trips were fun. to Houston and back to New Orleans.

i have about 2 more hours to kill before i have to go to math. but it's going to be fun because i haven't experienced my CRACKHEAD of a math teacher for a week.

Fri, 10 Sep 2004 02:54:42 GMT

this one's for Dominique.

I'M HEEEEEERE. I'M ALIVE, I SWEAR. school is interesting, to say the least. classes suck, but other than that, it's good, lol. i hope you have fun tonight, dancing is awesome and i must find a way to come visit you sometime. THE SAME GOES FOR YOU. you must make it over to New Orleans!

talking to my mom on AIM is .... intersting, too. i've been using that word a lot lately. examples:
[mom]: yeah----- gardening!!!!!!!!!!!!

AkaLexi1: we're getting a fish for the living room
[mom]: yeah! may he/she be called "Little Nemo" or "Dory"
AkaLexi1: we're thinking a purple one with a really exotic sounding name
[mom]: how about Spandora?
[mom]: you could name the fish something exotic sounding like dollylivelonglife!
AkaLexi1: kelly says we should name it Shaniqua
[mom]: I personally like dollylivelonglife

i love it.

my mom and i were on our way to work this morning and we were discussing Jack's band, Glasgow. what kind of music they played, etc, etc. i told her about the band that my future husband plays violin in and she wanted to know what kind of music they played. i said, "this isn't going to mean anything to you, but they're really emo."
she looks at me and goes, "i know Elmo. i know what an Emu is. i don't know Emo."
i just about died.

also, it doesn't look like the digital camera thing is going to work out for my birthday present, so. RECOMMEND ME SOME CDS, PEOPLE. *whipcrack*
the ones i've got on my list so far are :
--Switchfoot (dunno what the name of the CD is)
--Franz Ferdinand (see above)
--Maroon 5- Songs About Jane
I NEED MOOOOOOORE.

Jack called me this morning. i'm at work. i was getting chapstick out of my purse and i noticed my phone was ringing. it was on silent. i didn't catch it in time to answer it, so i just let him leave a message.
i checked my messages a couple minutes ago, and this is what he said:
"Hey Laura, it's Jack. Wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up. And call me. Wake up. Bye."

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 16:04:36 GMT

i like the new layout. nice, pretty blue. :D

i should mention that the first 2 text messages that IDIOT ever sent me consisted of nothing but MIKE JONES ... WHO MIKE JONES.

wtffffffff.

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 13:57:51 GMT

omg it's friday the 13th. *skeeered*

some IDIOT (WHO I DON'T KNOW) decided to text message me at 11.30 last night, after i'd turned the TV and was going to sleep. i kept saying stuff like "WTF WHO IS THIS YOU'VE CALLED ME BEFORE YOUR NUMBER IS IN MY MISSED CALLS WHO ARE YOU TELL ME NOW." of course not all run-on-sentence-y like that, but that general idea.

s/he finally said, "IT'S ME BITCH MIKE JONES."
i said, "i'm going to sleep now. please stop msg-ing me."
s/he said, "ok it's me julio."
i said, "ok jackass, then who am i?"
s/he said, "OMG! NELLY"
"WRONG ASSHOLE. PLEASE GO AWAY IF I DON'T KNOW YOU SO I CAN GO TO SLEEP."

AND THEN THEY CALLED ME. FROM A "PRIVATE NUMBER." i said, "HELLO!?" and no one said anything so i hung up. and then THEY CALLED AGAIN. i let it ring (it was on silent) and was going to see if they left a message. no message. then another number i don't know called!

by this time i was getting really scared. i was like, "who are these people or this one person who got my cell phone number somehow? if they keep this up, they obviously must know me or are convince they have the right number aaaaaaaah."

it finally stopped. they called 3 times from the 2nd number. i got a text at 6.30 this morning (phone was still on silent, so i didn't hear it) that said "IM SO SORRY I HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER "SORRY" BYE."
i was like, "why the quotations around the sorry?" but i just wrote back, "Whatever."
i shouldn't have even texted back. grr. damn you, hindsight!

whatever. i saw Princess Diaries 2 with Kelly and 2 of her HS friends last night. OMFG JRD WAS IN IT!
preview for National Treasure came on. SEAN BEAN! MUST. GO. SEE.

at work. bye!

our digital video camera takes digital stills. we'd known this ever since we got it, but we never figured out how to get the stills off of the camera's memory card and onto a computer, for various reasons, the most important of which being that our computer at home is as slow as a sedated snail. but i got home from work last night, and my now-brunette sister was taking pictures of herself with it. she got fed up because the memory was full, and was complaining about how she wanted to take more pictures.
the lightbulb went off in my head: put the pictures on my computer. i've got so much space on there, it won't matter if they're huge or if there's a bazillion pictures.

so we did.
and they're the closest i have to a digital camera for right now. (speaking of which, i need to continue my searching for the birthday present.)

and since my artistic streak decided to strike at midnight last night after months of being MIA, i artsy'd 'em up a little.

omg, my scalp is peeling.

Tue, 10 Aug 2004 19:47:15 GMT

i just answered the phone and a kid who couldn't have been older than 10 asked, "who is this?"
"... Laura with Wauson & Associates."
" ... Do yall serve pancakes?"
" ... No, i'm sorry, we don't."

*click*

STORY TIME!!

Mon, 05 Jan 2004 17:01:49 GMT

my sister is allergic to peanuts.

there is a jar of candy over on the desk next to me, containing Rolo's, Reese's Cups, Hershey Kisses, etc.

she pulled out a Rolo and ate it.

she said, "i'm probably gonna get a disease. cuz there's peanut butter in there."

*pause*

"i'm gonna be bigger than the house soon."

alright, it's time to get crackin' on this thing.
i set up this LJ because i've been sooooooooo bad with the whole weekly-email-thing with my high school friends. i am the queen of procrastination and laziness, thankyouverymuch. *bows*

but ANYWAYS, chs grads 2003: the idea is, i'll write in here, ya'all can comment, but if you don't have a LJ and have to comment anonymously, please put your name at the bottom so i know who it is!! but LJs are free now, so i reccomend that everyone get one, lol.

hmmm. what else? ok, this is the LJ that's going in my profile, so everyone can read it. i guess. or maybe i'll just send and email with the link in it. dunno how i feel about putting it in my profile for all the world to see.

i think that's it! byeeeeeeeee!!
