Today I simply trudge alone in my corner of this world.
I sat in church today, wondering why our entire world seems to be based on (selected pieces of) the Bible? It was written a long time ago, and a lot of the information is outdated. Still, I admit that good things come from the Bible; inspiration, hope, love, and some pretty great stories, but do we have to believe and follow everything then point to a scripture if we want to prove someone wrong about the way they choose to live their life? It seems like if you want to prove a point, no matter what it is, you can use this book as a resource. Completely contradictory statements both supported by the same book, and I'm supposed to study and live by it. I feel sacrilegious saying that, but I don't denounce my faith in Jesus/God. I honestly feel like all we need is love (and faith to believe).
And lots of other religions exist as well; and, in my (possibly simplistic) opinion, I feel like we're all believing in the same God, just calling Him different names, so why should we feel like all these other religions are wrong, ignorant, need to be destroyed or 'converted'? I just don't get it.

I cannot stop thinking about someone who I really want to have little to do with; I put things into a fantasy world in my mind and then have to tell myself about the person and the shit they've done to remember why I don't really shouldn't care much for him.
Also; I leave to go back to school in less than a week. I miss all those kids and am ready to get back to where people seem to actually understand me. I haven't started packing yet, but I still have a few days so I'll eventually get on that.
Yeah. That's about it.

Dear livejournal,
I have not written to you for a year and a half. I do not miss you much, sorry dear. But I may see you a little more often now. Write of something memorable or rant/vent to you to try to put my emotions into words.
Yours truly,
Lauren

Dear Livejournal,
I haven't written to you since I graduated.
I beached it up for a week.
I spent a week in PA when my aunt died. We cleaned out her little smoky appartment and everything. And that was the end of June.
I read a few books and recently started reading Megan Moore's book; lots of strange twists that you'd definitely not see coming
I spent last weekend with my grandparents in Ohio and Wednesday I'll leave for PA again for a family reunion and possibly Kennywood. Yay. I'll be back a few days after that.
Tomorrow I'm going ice skating with Jacob, who is way cool. That will be fun no matter what he thinks. haha.
I'm not ready for college.
Anyone who reads this, lets get together and hang out sometime before the middle of august.
Maybe I'll even get another entry in before I go off to school. (But then again, maybe not)

So I'm totally and completely finished with my high school education. Woohoo. Graduation is thursday. I got a cute little poca-dot dress ^_^ too bad it'll be covered up. I'm going to try to get away with combat boots. Will the administrators have a cow?

Yesterday was orange and black day at Wesleyan. They had this fancy dinner at the end and some of the people from the college mingled with the prospective students. My admissions counselor guy sat beside me and while he was getting his food, i spilt his water. When he came back, my mom pointed to me so he asked if I did it, and I had food in my mouth so I just nodded and laughed. yes, i laughed at the fact that I spilt this guy's water. who does that? But I think (or maybe I'm hoping) he was messing with me. So yeah, I got some sugar cookies from the president of the college's wife and a shirt as well.
Only 2 more months until graduation. I'm kind of excited but after the summer, will I see anyone again? =/ This year went by waaayyy too fast and some parts of me wish it would slow down. Other parts are counting the weeks left until spring break, then the weeks after that until finals then graduation.
Prom is coming up soon. I don't have a date or a dress. I'm not really even sure if I'm going to go.
Oh well, it's back to the introduction of this silly exemplification essay

"See, I'm thinking of a world where people stop and think for themselves."
That would be amazing.
I'm pretty fed up with the bush administration right now. and politics. and war. and the media. and politicians. and the government. and half of the general public of America.
Am I the only person who thinks we shouldn't be killing thousands of innocent human beings?
I'm turning into a pacifist, but that isn't so bad is it?
I hate when anti-war people start violent protests. hello. anti-war = anti-violence = anti-fighting
So government class is so boring and it kind of annoys me. I like the debates though. I'd sometimes like to give my opinion but I'm too shy to debate in class. I'm sure I could piss 90% of the class off though. Some of the things those kids argue about are pretty dumb though. And it doesn't matter anyway does it?
So anyway...
If I ever see good old Bush, or better yet, Rove or Cheney, I think i'll have a word with him.

I think it's pretty hypocritical how our entire American society is based on freedom; When the founders of this country came here, it was inhabited by native americans right? and obviously they were free. So they kill half the native americans, put others up in reservations and whatever else, treat the rest like shit, and then write a constitution built on freedom? I just don't get it.
I guess it's freedom to kill the free?

Friday the 13th. Hmm. Good day
Finals are over. Thank God. This week has been so stressful except for today where I did nothing, signed out, ate at taco bell, signed back in and got bonus points in calculus.
I really want to switch from calc b/c to college psychology. I mean, come on mrs. francis, I want to be a psychologist and this class would let me look further into that and see if it's truly what I want to do. And I don't need matth for this. And I've already taken a semester of Calc. And the AP test will kick my ass. haha. yeah.
I checked out "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau the other day. Haven't got a chance to start reading it. Someone told me it was really boring, but I'm into all that transcendental stuff. anyone read pieces of it?
Oh yeah. 4 day weekends rock.

Isn't it strange how sometimes you're about to give up hope in someone or completely hate them or feel something toward them, and all that can change (for better or worse) with one simple conversation.

If I can make it to Thursday, I think i'll be okay
Tuesday - Macbeth Test & 225 question study guide is due
Wednesday - Calc Test
Thursday - 3 page Macbeth Essay due (she shortened it a page since we all bitched at her today. woohoo)
Another thought.. if you aren't Christian, Jewish, or celebrating Kwanza, what exactly are you celebrating this season?

I hate those commercials that say "This poor little girl doesn't even have a pair of shoes on her feet, but for $20 a month, you could help pay for food, clothes, and an education for one special child" .. yeah.. well if you took the some million dollars you spent making the commercial, you could help thousands of children.

Snow has bad timing. I was possibly going to go to SAS tonight, except the weather is bad and of course it could get worse by the time 11 pm rolls around. Yay for Stretch Arm Strong actually coming to west virginia more than once in their entire music career. I'll see them again another time.
My sister is back from Austria. She brought back authentic austrian chocolate.
Fairmont State University. What a dissapointment. I thought I'd be nice, and cozy, and inviting. It was just buildings, worn down, depressing in a way. West Virginia Wesleyan is very possibly the place I'll end up. I just need money!! I mean, $27,000 a year = ALOT for 4 years ($108,000 to be exact). And the promise is only about 3,000 a year. So, wish me luck on finding money; I really don't want to rob a bank or start selling drugs.

Senior pictures were friday. Took some outside in the autumn-ness. Yay!
Saturday - Marshall visit. Free lunch and t-shirt. Tour. Fun stuff. Then I drove from Huntington to Kanawha city to renew my license. When I got there the guy was all "our camera is broken" AHHH! What a waste of time. And to top that off, he said I shouldn't even be driving if it's expired, when it says on the back "valid for 30 days after expiration" well that guy says "oh, it means valid to get renewed, but you can't drive on it because you'd be driving on an invalid license" .. So kids, I've been driving illegally! But that's okay because I'm going to the DMV in Liberty Square tomorrow morning during first block. =)
Today - church thanksgiving dinner. Yummy

I turned 18 on friday and I didn't even put much thought into it, but I've been giving it a little more thought. I'm 18. I'm now an adult. I'm responsible for my own actions. I could go to jail. I can buy cigarettes and legally smoke them (blech). I can vote for the leader of my country and state representatives. I can die for my country. The fate world is in my hands *alright, we won't go that far. haha.
"Eighteen: I get confused every day
Eighteen: I just don't know what to say
Eighteen: I gotta get away"
I'm proud to announce all my efforts paid off: I got an "A" in English. That gives me a 5.0 =)
