^_^ Anni needs new life rules

I have a problem. I would rate my stress level at a 9. Its only 3 weeks into the semester. I'm not sleeping. I'm getting my homework done, and I'm doing everything I can during the day. I'm bordering on sickly for the past week. Help. Anni needs some new life rules.
I've started the list.

1. Anni must not eat milk products because they make her very sick. (Mozzarella is the exception)
2. Anni must not eat eggs for the same reason.
3. Anni should go to bed before 3am everyday.
4. Anni needs to find classical music relaxing and not work. Lately its been work. Thank you MCR for saving my head.

Help me with new life rules guys... please... I don't think I can keep up this bed at 4am up at 6:30am routine for too much longer...

Noscore and five years ago,

our forefathers (myself) brought into this internet a new being, a brotherhood of sorts. This is its fifth anniversary. Whatever you do today, make it awesome, and remember the friendships that started here.

Viva la NLC!

Madam President.

^_^ I don't believe in facebook statuses....

At least not when they are petty teenage cries for attention. But I needed to say this. Somewhere. A record that I have come to this conclusion.


I don't believe in anything anymore.

^_^ Sleepless in... Durham

My entire sleep cycle is totally out of whack. I'm not tired at all right now... I have one final tomorrow. I get my french paper back and I get to rewrite it and turn in the final on Monday... yeah... my life is exciting. Concert on Sunday. I'm probably about to get fired from work because I won't be able to come into work again on Sunday because of the concert... ummm... though I did get my first paycheck... which was nice... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... my pokemon are all greater than level 40 and I have 5 gym badges... My converses are so destroyed that the inner liner between the foot and the soul of the shoe has completely ripped out... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm now certified to tend bar..... And I have memorized how to make a Manhattan, Martini, Long Island Iced Tea, Screwdriver, Cape Codder, Kamikaze shooters, etc.... I need to keep going on those flash cards... I find Lady Gaga's new music video to make even less sense than before mainly since it is really really Catholic. And... honestly, though I think the Church is about to flip a shit about Jesus and the disciples being a biker gang, its actually not that shocking. Its pretty standard other than Harley gang Jesus thing.... And I completely don't understand the ocean water interlude in the middle... less than a month before I go to Austria.... i'm on steroids... they make me moody and slightly violent, but on the bright side the swelling in my knees has gone down.... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I registered for classes today.... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm... sorry if this is really boring.... but hey... tonight I AM REALLY BORING MOTHERFUCKER! xD Matt left some of his CD's here... why....? oh wait... I think he did that intentionally.... hmmmmm.... I think I'll listen to those for a while... don't worry... I'll come back if I get bored again.....

laterz....

* - this is why I hate white people...and my return to music

For the first time in a long while I wrote a song that I can actually stand.
A song I can actually be proud of.
I guess with all the bullshit going on in my life I became unsatisfied with all my other work.

To come up with a melody and lyrics that actually meant something to me felt good.
For a time it felt like I was me again.
Like all the little shattered pieces of my existence had somehow gathered back together.

For someone whose choice in career path is musician, not being satisfied with my stuff has been a tough ordeal.
It made me think that perhaps I just wasn't cut out to be a musician.
I'm pretty sure I just proved myself wrong.

The EP is coming soon.
I promise.

* - this is why i hate white people...and the fact that I'm 1,601 miles away from the girl I'm crushing on so badly.

Two words folks : Dallas, Texas. That's where she is. And I have no way of getting to her. I've known this girl for 3 days...THREE DAYS...and I already know so much about her that it's like I've known her for years. 1,601 miles between Wappingers Falls, NY and Dallas, Texas. As far as I'm concerned, that's 1,601 miles too many.

! Just so ya know,

I'm planning an epic movie marathon. You know how I know it's going to be epic? I'm planning it, like, two months in advance. It will include all the usual classics and it will be sick and I'm making my friends come. Like, all of them, from everywhere. The entire NLC is invited, and the entire NLC should come, because then you all will just add to the collection of awesome that is my circle of friends that is my family.

Yeah, you're gonna be there.

Hugs and love,

^_^ =(

I am not happy. And while I sat here moping and crying about how I'm fat and horrible and stupid, I let someone down and depressed others.

! Throwback

I hardcore miss the NLC right now.
It's my own fault. I was reading through Stuff to Do. Some highlights: build clocks, write love sonnets to random inanimate objects, make orange chicken, go to Rome, and go talk to Fred.
Can we go back to that? Those were great times. You know, we actually came up with some pretty funny stuff. I miss that community.
What are your thoughts about having another go at it? We could either complicate this blog or go full force and I could build another website again. I bet we all would have some new recruits...Anyways, let me know what you think.
Viva la NLC!

PS: It's funny, when I write I worry a lot about creating characters, but we used to do it all the time back then.

I think someday I want to bring Fred back.

! You should get

the new Rise Against album. And definitely pick up Screaming Bloody Murder by Sum 41. That drops on Tuesday, and they're streaming it now (check my Tumblr if you want a link) and it's going to be a fantastic breakup album. My collection leaves me well stocked with breakup music =) I'm a lucky girl like that. I'm doing fine, but I have the urge to catch up with my homeslices. So hit me up.
Marty and I are having a conversation about groveling right now and I'm trying to convince him that I wouldn't collapse into a melting heap of fangirl if Alkaline Trio showed up at my door. Which I totally wouldn't.

School is schoolish. There are many papers. And reading assignments. And I just realized how many fragments I use when I'm blogging. You know what, I'm okay with that. I'm a big fan of grammar adapting to fit a certain purpose. That's what poetry is.
And all my blog posts are pure fucking poetry, bitches.
Rambling Lauren was rambling!

* - this is why i hate white people...and searching for a job.

I have been looking for months now. Sending in multiple applications, phone calls, etc. However upon going to the actual stores where there are supposed job openings I have been repeatedly told that they are not at hiring at the moment. So let me get this straight. They advertise that they are hiring, put it up on job seeking sites, classified ads, and help wanted signs, only to tell prospect employees that there is no job opening. Fuck the system.

-the "False Job Epidemic" is clearly Obama's fault-

* - this is why I hate white people...but love pokemon

I'm eighteen years old, nineteen in april...and I still love playing pokemon games! Don't get me wrong here, the TV show itself has gone down the tubes. It's become so cliched and predictable (not to mention annoying), that I truly can't stand the sight of it. But the games...the games are still the little slices of joy that they always were.

^_^ so...

I'm back at college and running around with my head chopped off, typical right? Plus, I keep having these really weird dreams where I desperately need to buy nail polish remover. Of course there is absolutely nothing in any dream dictionary I have found about shopping for nail polish. Anyways... my new roommate is AWESOME! Matt is AWESOME! Yesterday's classes were AWESOME! And hopefully today's will be even better.

ciao <3

! I'm thinking...

That I need to write another hardcore piece again. Doing my short story was awesome, and a bunch of ideas came out of that, so maybe I could run with one of those.

I'm going to be doing a ridiculous amount of writing next semester, and I don't know if I'll have the energy to get some creative stuff in but I would really, really like to keep up the momentum. I therefore have a request for you:
Help?

Once in a while, just check in and ask if I've written anything. Pretend to be excited about it. Remind me that it's worth something to keep writing. Actually, the most helpful thing you could do is criticize what I do write, and be harsh on it. I want to aim high with what I do, and I can't improve if I don't know what I'm doing right and especially if I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I want to hear everything.

So, if you feel like doing me a favor, drop in once in a while. I would really, really appreciate it.

Also, THROWBACK! Re-enjoy.
