01. Bold the names of the women you’d definitely have sex with.
02. Italicize the names of the women you might do after a little persuasion.
03. Leave the women who don’t do anything for you alone.
04. Put a question mark after the women you’ve never heard of ?
05. Strike the women you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.

| Sorry for my absence |
[Jul. 19th, 2010|11:15 pm] |
But, i figured you people who read this still would appreciate the ridiculousness of a story I wrote when I was bored in like 7th grade. I found it when I was rummaging through old stuff in my room (getting prepared to move out...).
So here is the story, as written on really wrinkly notebook paper:
I was sitting in an interview with a watermelon named Tom. He was very handsome. The black seeds in the red fruit shone so beautifully, I couldn't keep my focus. It seemed as if my tongue hung down to my knees. I don't know whether I wanted to ask Tom out on a date or just ingest him right there.
Tom the watermelon asked me what I did this morning. I eagerly answered, recalling a strange incident that happened when I woke up. So, here is what I told him:
I opened my eyes and discovered that my mother stapled waffles all over my bedroom wall with fuzzy purple hairpins. I asked her why, of course, and she simply stated that I "needed new wallpaper." I guess the fact that it was edible was a perk. I ate one of the wallpaper-waffles. Then, I looked into the mirror and saw that my body was rapidly becoming slimmer, metallic, and pole-like, while my head grew big and round.
"Help! Mom!? I think I'm turning into a road sign!," I yelled. As strange as it sounds, this wasn't an uncommon ailment where I lived. People at my school would be absent because of it sometimes. But, I never thought it could happen to me. Why me?!
"We need to stick you in a blender with alka-seltzer! Quickly!" my mother exclaimed, shaking her green hair in a frenzy.
"No! Let's just see if it passes. Who knows if I'll be able to be put back together after being blended, anyway?" I said. It was only a matter of time before my condition would reach its climax. But, I suddenly felt less frightened and more pensive. What kind of sign would I be? A Stop? A Slippery When Wet? A Pennsylvania Avenue?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Scandinavian? The world may never know!
......the end.
Yeah, I've always been pretty weird.
<3 |

keeping me from crashing is your love |

Okay so I thought this was hilarious.
http://laurenleto.wordpress.com/readers-by-author/
It stereotypes what people are like by their favorite author.
Alot of these are soooo true.
But others I don't really get because either i've never heard of the author or i qualify as a reader and yet have never heard of the author.
Example:
Sue Grafton:
Women who have an @aol.com email address.
who is this woman???
:P
I don't want to go back to school!
Good thing I have a festival this weekend to take my mind off of school starting next tuesday.
Leaving for santa rosa beach tommorrow. long car ride.
I miss that crazy boyfriend of mine.
He's got me all worried because his colon is the antichrist.
Goodnight. |

| The Ballad of Kailey and Wesley |
[Nov. 23rd, 2009|11:35 pm] |
Wesley: Happy Anniversary, my love.
I'm thankful for you.
( I wrote a abridged version of our story from my point of view... )
And yes, this is the abridged version, believe it or not, haha. Just think of how long the livejournal entry would be if I documented the whole 4 years? Jeez.
Can't wait for Thanksgiving.
I'm hoping to leave tommorrow around noon or so. Yay.
Party at my house on wednesday, yo. :D
When I get back from thanksgiving break I'll have 3 exams and then the weekend after thanksgiving I have my last religion to write (Islam, eh)as well as Kappa Kappa Gamma semi-formal.
OH! that reminds me. I was just chosen/elected to be the new Vice President of Communications for the Panhellenic Association at UM for the year 2010. :) I'll start my job sometime after school starts next semester. Basically, I'm one of 7 main officers in the student government of sororities. I'm part of the Panhellenic Executive Board. I'm so happy, honored, and excited to get more involved in panhellenic and greek life. I'm also the only Kappa who got on the list.
Also, I am absolutely loving being in Kappa right now.
I got an A- on my religion paper. I wrote it about how Elie Wiesel's response to the Holocaust (laid out in Night), as well as Judaism as a whole, is inherently linked to the ideas of Liberation Theology. I am pretty proud of it. If you want to read it I could possibly post it for possible discussion and/or critiquing.
I have to fold laundry and pack for my awesome 5ish days at home.
Goodnight!

Dear God, WHY do I have a twitter account?
is it because I like to feel like i'm bff with my fav musicians?
I honestly feel livejournal pwns twitter in all aspects
and yet I can't delete it.
so close yet so far to christmas break.
"Dollhouse" got canceled...blargity blargity blarg. :(
they are going to finish playing the rest of the season though, thank goodness.
I would have been very angry if it just dissappeared from television just as it was starting to get really really good.
Maybe starting to watch that show "V" on tuesdays (it's really good, btw) will make up for the lack of dollhouse and help me get some of my Joss-Whedon-fix since a couple of the people who have been in his shows are main characters on that show too.
onward to study for chemistry
Your Fashion Style is Playful
|
You love fashion, but unlike most fashionable folks, you're no snob or label lover.
In fact, the thing you like most about fashion is being able to try on different looks. You're very eclectic.
You are the type to mix and match interesting items. You'll wear something designer with something discount. Or you'll sport something classic with something vintage.
You truly believe that fashion should be fun. And you're having a lot of fun breaking all of the rules.
|
You Are an Intimate Wedding
|
Love makes you feel warm and comforted. You may not need much in this world, but you need the love of those you're close to to survive.
To be unloved would be heartbreaking for sure, but you would never give up hope. Even if you felt all alone in the world, you're sure you could make new connections.
For you, romantic loving is about giving your all and not worrying about what you'll get back in return. Keeping score ruins a relationship.
Besides, your ideal partner would naturally want to give as much as possible too. That's what makes you a perfect match.

| I ask for love, I ask for mercy, I ask for patience, but you're already all of these things. |
[Oct. 10th, 2009|08:41 pm] |
Everytime I listen to the Miracle Outro live on youtube (paramore...) I am just blown away by the emotion.
I have a very intimidating religion paper due on wednesday. :(
I am going home on Thursday though (for the UCF game somewhat and b/c it's a 3 days weekend), so I guess that's my reward for the hard work I'm going to do. I'm excited.
I'm performing for a special "Moonlight Lounge" held by my dorm tommorrow night. :)
I'm also performing for my school's U.N. Day on the 21st.
I find out this coming week whether I made the Top 12 for the UM Bruce Hornsby Songwriters Showcase Contest. I just wanna make the Top 12 so I can perform in Gusman Hall (really nice performance space on campus)and in the same room as Bruce Hornsby. That's enough for me. I don't really care about winning. I'd be happy either way. I just want to be chosen for the Top 12. I just realized one of my Graduate Mentors for Tutoring is one of the judges for choosing the 12 and it's hard not to act weird around him now. lol. I had no idea until he brought it up. He's like "I recognized your name on an entry! I haven't listened to it yet but we start going through them on Tuesday. I'll keep you updated."
So hopefully that means good things?
Kappa has a big philanthropy event tommorrow.
I have to get up early for it, but it should be really fun, so whatever.
I'm sad my grandbig is graduating this year. I know May is kinda far away
but by the rate this semester has been going so far, I feel like i'll wake up tommorrow and all of my mini-family in Kappa will have left.
Fire Kite EP release on tuesday! *dies*
Eisley, why must you always do this to me?
I think I could picture myself living in Austin, Texas someday.
It's a really cool place and the music scene is amazing.
Austin City Limits and SXSW are there every year.
i'm bored.

You Are Asia
|
You are driven, brilliant and resourceful. You tend to be thought of as a brain.
You embrace ideas and technology quickly. You like to be on the cutting edge, but you don't forget about the past or tradition.
You are cultured, cosmopolitan, and eclectic. You draw inspiration from many sources.
You are unselfish and motivated by a sense of duty. You work hard because it's the right thing to do, not because you hope to strike it rich.
|
You Are Pumpkin Bread
|
You are considerate and generous. Your heart warms when you're able to do something unexpectedly nice for someone else.
You know it can be a cold world out there, and you have plenty of happiness to spread around.
You try to give as much as possible every day, and you know that small acts of kindness can often mean the much.
Whether you're being a good listener or sharing a slice of your pumpkin bread, people feel lucky to be able to count on you.
|
I LOVE PUMPKIN BREAD!
Deep Down You Are Sensitive
|
You're the type of person who notices everything and forgets nothing. You are very in tune with the world.
You feel deeply, and sometimes the silliest things can effect you. You are easily brought to laughter or tears.
You don't show the world how fragile you are. You instead show people how insightful you can be.
You are good at anticipating what's going to happen in your life. You are often the first one to see what's coming.
|
Your Heart is Blue and Orange
|
Your heart is bright and brilliant.
You are knowledgeable, wise, and confident.
You bring dynamism and sparkle to relationships.
You know how to keep your partner hanging on your every word.

Your Left Part Says You're Creative and Funky
|
You are naturally artsy and a little kooky. You do and see thing in a very unique way.
Forget marching to the same beat as everyone else... you don't even hear the same beat as everyone else.
You have always been a very independent person. Years ago you stopped even trying to fit it.
Your very comfortable in your own skin. If people can't handle your eccentricities, that's their problem... not yours!
|
Your Name is White
|
Your name tells people that you have good intentions and a pure heart. You try to always speak the truth.
You are happy to step back and let other people shine. You don't seek attention or acclaim.
People see you as someone who is generous and ethical. You can be counted on to do the right thing.
You are bright and clear headed. You can offer a fresh perspective, especially when other people are in a rut.
|
You Are Soft Rock
|
You're a sensitive soul, and a true romantic. You are emotionally moved by music.
You like a deep, expressive singer who sings right from the heart.
You are a caring and empathetic person. Your friends can always cry on your shoulder.
You love songs about love, life, and loss. You don't care if other people think they're cheesy.
|
very true. but i'm not cheesy. haha.
You are Energetic and Bright
|
You view people with optimism. You have many meaningful relationships in your life.
You had more conflict with your father than your mother. Your relationship with him was healthy but challenging.
You deal with stress in a fairly normal way. Stress presents a struggle for you, but you're usually able to neutralize your emotions.
You are a natural multitasker. You enjoy being busy, even if the amount of things you need to do is overwhelming.

heyyyyyyyyyy I don't update this thing very much anymore. I feel bad about that.
Livejournal used to be a huge thing for me.
I'm just so f'in busy with school, sorority, tutoring (I tutor now at UM's Academic resource Center...getting a little extra $$), staying sane and healthy yet still social, etc. lol.
I'm happy though.
I miss this. haha.
rambling on is fun.
reading the journals of my other livejournal-y friends is also fun.
assuming that people read what I write is also fun. :P
I got an 85 on my first Chem II exam. I'm happy with that.
something to build upon.
My religion teacher got his PhD at Harvard...um, Beast much?
Wesley still = best boyfriend ever.
Okay so despite the fact that I have 2.5 years until I graduate college, a bit over year and a half before I apply to any post-college thing, and a year or so before I take the MCAT, PCAT, GRE, GMAT, whatever pain-in-the-ass-test I need, I've somehow decided to stress out about all those things right now. that's not unlike me though.
I'm considering pharmacy (PharmD) as well as medicine (I'm pre-med currently) and of course all throughout this music will be the #1 desire. But I really want to choose between them because I don't want to have to take both the MCAT and the PCAT since they both are a bitch. one test would be great. I just want to know where I will be in 2 years and I hate not knowing. I wouldn't have to change any classes I'm taking because staying in my major and minor and as a pre-med would cover all the bases for Pharmacy so being in the pre-pharm program would be stupid.lol. There are so many great things about both careers, and a few cons as well for both. blarg. I just want something where I can still do music.
Anyways, one of my friends is a songwriter and whenever I hang out with him it seems he has like 3 new songs/half finished songs even in the span of like a week or so. that makes me feel kinda inferior since I don't write as fast.
But, writing songs is a huge process for me. some songs take 20 minutes, some take months. It's a big deal for me and I can't churn out material at the drop of a hat.
I don't make art just for art's sake.
I do it because it's a part of me and there's really no other way for me to process things in my life.
And I don't like showing people my songs until they are completely finished.
Because as I'm writing something I don't want to have to worry about what someone would think if they heard it or read it.I need to be completely un-self-conscious when writing.
Each song is a piece of me.
the end.
I'm soooo excited for the new paramore album. i've read a few magazine articles and reviews and just from the lyrics i've read it already seems amazing and epic.
oh and for those who don't know: my roommate this year is from England.
and it's awesome. haha.
You Should Honeymoon in Mexico!
|
After planning your wedding, all you want to do is relax. Your honeymoon should be as laid back as possible.
You don't need much to make you and your sweetie happy. You'll take a sandy beach and a cool cocktail, for starters.
There's little better than warm sunshine, clear water, and all inclusive hotels...
Except for maybe a pool with a built in bar. And huge margaritas!
|
Lol...
You Are Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
|
You are creative, imaginative, and more than a little trippy.
You see the world with an artist's eye. Sometimes the craziest little details inspire or amuse you.
You can get lost in your own daydreams, which can be vivid, colorful, and downright bizarre.
You're drawn toward imaginary worlds and outlandish thoughts. You like to play with ideas, even when the results are a bit strange.

The Orlando's Next Big thing contest is over. it was alot of fun, and i really enjoyed working with Frecks/Kevin. But, I am glad it's over.
Now I can kinda hibernate musically for a little while.
Promoting a show takes soooo much out of me for some odd reason.
Until X&Y Fest in september I think i'll just write and record.
and relax. lol.
Thanks to everyone who came. :)
(especially to Wesley, who came to the show despite his tummy being angry at him)
I watched Knocked Up tonight. hadn't seen it in a while.
funny movie.
unrealistic, but hilarious.
and I like how in the end the baby brings everyone together.
soo cute.
I saw Thoroughly Modern Millie at The REP today with my mom.
it was soo good. Better than the production I saw at the Bob Carr in '05.
I know the girl who played Millie, but I hadn't seen her in like 3 years.
and I had no idea how talented she had become and she was AWESOME.
I'm sad I waited to see it until the last day because I would've loved to bring Wesley to see it. oh well.
I think I am becoming more feminist.
I've always been proud of being a girl and whatnot, and i still am incredibly annoyed by feminists who are total man-bashers.
But, there are things that I've been thinking about lately concerning women's issues, sexual equality etc. and I've read a few articles that are really interesting and that are in line with my thoughts/feelings.
I've been somewhat politically apathetic compared to most people I know mostly because I don't know enough to confidently engage in conversations about most issues (I have my opinions, but I just can't support them lol).
It's not a big deal for most people, but each time I discover something that I really truly agree or disagree with is like discovering a piece of myself.
I really want to see 500 Days of Summer.
I love both the actors and i've heard really good things about it.
I'm kinda tired of being home without parents despite the obvious perks. |

| i recently had my first midnight chalupa |
[Jul. 14th, 2009|02:40 am] |
I really should be sleeping (I have tons to do tommorrow lol), and I was sleeping for a short while, but something in my mind just came about and then exploded. So i wrote it down.
What started as a sentence turned into an almost finished set of lyrics for a new song.
So far it's called "Robert Frost" and it's about courage to do stuff that's out of the ordinary for the sake of your happiness, i guess.
I never want to worry about other people's worries about me
but i've been too wrapped up in thoughts that shouldn't matter much to me
Lately i've noticed that i'm not painting the picture i'd conceived
Looks so much better in my mind and I know it doesn't have to be.
No, it doesn't have to be
Erase this fear
Erase this fear
I want to do a 'Robert Frost' and take more paths less traveled
Rip through life's tapestries and see what I unravel
Search for meaning and for feeling and a reason not to run away
don't worry
never fear
Erase this fear
Erase this fear
It holds me here
alone and distanced from my dreams

I don't understand how my parents can fight so loudly and angrily about the stupidest things sometimes. I hadn't heard them fight in a while and today I was in my room and heard them in the midst of one when they walked through the door after coming home from Kelsey's Baccalaureate. Kelsey doesn't no what the deal was. she took a separate car. But that's all she was gonna say. She wouldn't talk to me. That like 45 minute ago, but they only just recently stopped yelling (there was a short break to eat pizza, though.). I still don't know what the deal is. Something about the pharmacy being slow, something about my dad overreacting, something about how when my mom is sick she thinks she can get away with being whiny, something about how my mom is stressed becasue she has so much work to do and my dad doesn't help, but my dad said he's offered to help but my mom likes to be in control of everything. I'm just so confused.
I want to use their shower.
but i'm afraid to go ask right now.
I went to the allergist today expecting to be there for 45 minutes but was there for about 2 hours. Got skin tested on my back and arms and lit up like a christmas tree. But, pretty much all of the stuff is the same except I am no longer allergic to strawberries. I think I was only allergic to them for like 2 years then. lol. short burst of allergy-ness.
They also gave me a new inhaler since i've had tightness in my chest, but my asthma is still mild. they put me on a nebulizer so my lungs could be tested, so on my way home I was all shaky and hopped up on albuterol. that was really funny.
I'm happy it wore off before I got to Frecks's house.
I went to Frecks's house to rehearse because he's playing drums for me at The Haven for the Orlando's Next Big Thing Competition on June 17th. It sounded cool. He's easy to work with.
He's more used to playing like ska and reggae rock, so it was a bit of a transition to play more low key beats for my music. He's a very talented drummer, but we definitely had to tone it down.
I've had this rash thing on the side of my face since like late saturday and I got something for it today from the allergist. I was unsure as to how I got it for a while but now I'm pretty sure it was a really bad reaction to a face cream I recently used and hadn't used in a while. hopefully it will go away. I've got 3 things on friday that I need to look pretty for. :P
kelsey's graduation, performance at Full Sail, and a Questie Reunion (!)

I will be home in 3 days! hard to believe.
packing is going to be quite an adventure.
i don't even know where to start with that.
right now I am finishing up my Spanish paper on a major theme in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Chronicle of A Death Foretold." we read the Spanish version, of course.
It has to be at least 4 pages long double spaced. I don't think I'm going to make it. I have enough for like 3 pages. So, I'm going to make all the punctuation a font size larger.
That should add a decent amount of space.
I learned that trick yesterday during a discussion at lunch with some of my fav Kappas. lol
I've always had this feeling like I was running out of time, most people have heard me talk about this. But recently I feel like I had somewhat of a minor epiphany where I don't feel very strongly about that anymore. It's like i've just realized how young I am.
I've been working towards the future and stressing over it.
But right now I just need to take each day as it comes, relax, and do what makes me happy. Life is short, and that is more of a reason to not stress as opposed to freak out. lol.
I've got FMF, FullSail Live Lab, and 2 recording sessions at Full Sail. But, other than that, i'm not going to play too many shows unless they come to me.
I just really don't want to overwork myself right now.
I want to concentrate on practicing and writing and just having a nice summer with my friends (and making $$$ babysitting. lol). I definitely want to play at Tatame once or twice, or an open mic or two.
But other than that I just want to chill out.
I tried to take a break for the past month, and of course that's when like 4 performance opportunities searched me out. haha.
and I can't say no when people want me. :P
I met my future roomie. she seems really cool. A theatre major a year older than me.
And she's taking a huge load of credits next semester so she won't be in the room much :)
I'll have a dingle! (a double that is kind of a single)
I really enjoyed the last 2 episodes of Dollhouse. It's kind of lame how short the first season was though. 12 episodes?! rawr. I hope they get a 2nd season. It was just starting to get good.
Kelsey turned 18 on wednesday. I feel bad that I wasn't home to give her a gift.
And i can't really get off campus right now.
I'm too busy with exams and stuff.
But i'll buy her something when I get home.
I'm sure she understands. :/

You Need Friends to Be Happy
|
You are a friendly, social person. You seek out connections and relationships.
Being close to others and understanding others is very important to you, and you don't like discord.
You feel great when you're cooperating with others. You enjoy belonging to a group.
Nothing makes you feel worse that feeling alone or alienated. You want to be liked by those around you.

| 6 days until i'm home |
[May. 6th, 2009|05:32 pm] |
awww water bears.
the cutest, most retarded looking microscopic coelomate I've ever seen.
My Bio II exam is tommorrow and i'm studying my ass off right now for it.
I studied that same ass right off last night for Calculus II
which is also tommorrow.
they are within a half hour of each other.
at least I get my 2 hardest exams overwith in one day.
Then my last exam is for musicology, which is easy.
and it won't take me too long to write my essay for Spanish 212.
I will be home in the early evening of the 12th, ladies and gentlemen.
then on thr 13th and 14 I will be playing at Florida Music Fest 2009!
yay. i'm excited.
Also, as of today, I am not only volunteering at the LHP Class of 2009 Senior Luncheon, but they've asked my to make a tiny 2-minute speech at the end of the luncheon "welcoming the senior class into the alumni family" lmao. Jake Mervis did that for my class last year.
I hope I can think of some interesting things to say.
One of my fav bands wrote a song about Brave New World.
It feels cool to have that in common with them.
It feels even cooler to be able to say "I did it first! haha"

I think I finally practiced my new song, "Forget That I Loved You," to the point of it being ready for ears other than my own. lol. The chords are easy, I just find it hard to sing and play at the same time for some reason. and i also feel that it would just sound sooo much cooler with bass and drums and keyboard or something.
Also, I have an even newer song in the works called "The Song Remains The Same" (i'm on a 5-word title pattern it seems), which is essentially done since it doesn't have a bridge. I just need to go over the structure. I'm anxious to record this one because i have some crazy harmonies in my head.
3 pages (front and back) left in The Big Red Book: Volume 2.
i just might cry when I'm done with it and I have to move on to Volume 3
which is alot less ripped up and drawn on.
but it will be unrecognizable by the time i'm done with it, of course.
it's just 4 important years of my life are in that book.
add my livejournal entries to the BRB Vol. 2 and you've got a good Kailey Billings character study. :P
i studied my head for biology today.
so i better do well tommorrow.
The EP Release party on Friday was sooooo much fun.
very tiring though. I was there from 5pm-2am. didn't get to bed until 3.
i love the Cane Records people.
I got my makeup done. tres fab. and lots of it too.
lots of people asked if I was opening (how nice of them!) and I was like "um...I would totally sell my firstborn to perform at an event like this."
Bridget's sweet electro-folk band played as the opener to Kyle Crossland. they were pretty darn brilliant. i'm jealous and worried.
lots of people were smoking, so i felt pretty ill for a good portion of the time.
I really couldn't avoid them since I was working.
saturday morning i had a pretty sore throat, but I'm good now.
met a guy named Shazam...no seriously. :)
and I convinced him to buy Kyle's physical CD instead of just getting it on iTunes.
all he had was canadian money for some reason, so he borrowed money from his friend (who happened to be from Prague and said he met Kelsey last semester when she went to a party with lauren when she visited. lol)
i'm currently experimenting with alternate tunings.
summer can't come too soon. |

I slept in until 2:45pm today.
i think that's a record.
I went to bed around 3, after being at a record release party for like 7 hours.
helping set up and tear down and clean up
and having tons of fun
so I definitely needed sleep
but i slept a good portion of the day away.
I still got a decent amount done though.
yay |

The lead singer of Meg&Dia wrote a positively epic and somewhat stream-of-consciousness blog post about the process of writing for the new album that comes out next week.
It was more of a short story than a blog post, because it was ungodly long (in a good way).
I can't believe my first year of college is almost over!
It's a happy, sad, ridiculous, and unbelievable thing.
I have a feeling i'm going to wake up tommorow and be like 30 or something.
Lots of cool stuff has happened: new friends, experiences, realizations, lessons, thoughts, songs, hopes, opportunities, etc.
It's hard to keep track of all my friends from here and my friends from high school and stuff (save for the few special ones)
I'm caught between the before and after. lol.
but that's not a bad thing.
I love people.
I've learned I need to stop comparing myself to other people.
especially other musicians.
it's like "why can I sing/dress/playguitar/write more like her/him?"
no! *punches self in the face*
I love mail.
Mail makes me feel special.
I got mail today because my parents sent me my dress for KKG formal.
(It's the white and dark blue one I wore for my senior homecoming btw, Wesley. so match accordingly if you can)
I never found leaves very interesting until this morning in bio lab when we experimented on transpiration rates in vascular plants. crazy stuff.
I found out when and where I'm playing at Florida Music Festival 2009 :)
I kinda wish I had better dates (yes DATES. i'm playing more than once this time) but I got better venues than last year.
Wednesday, May 13th, at Tanquerays
Thursday, May 14th, at Cafe Annie's
:D
Kyle's EP release party is on Friday night
and Cane Records staff members can get free makeovers by the Miami Paul Mitchell School before the party if they want. um YES. :)
( interesting...? )

I finished a new song. I really like it, but I definitely have to practice it more.
And I think it will only reach its full potential if I had a bassist, drummer, and extra guitarist.
But what is with me and sad and/or angry songs lately? The last 3 or 4 songs I've written have been about relationships gone wrong. lol. I have no experience in this, and yet I've been drawing inspiration from other people's downfalls.
I've been writing sad and/or angry songs at a very happy time in my life.
I'm strange :D
Wesley is visiting this weekend and we are going to the zoo!
we are going to have lots of fun bothering animals together.
There are wayyy too many CDs coming out over the next few months that I want to buy.
I'm so excited, but I'm going to be spending alot of money on music.
But I guess, I'm happy to support the artists I love.
Lauren and Kailey Present: "Why Further Description Was Necessary"
Lauren: I found out my cousin got his dick pierced
Kailey: wow. that has to hurt.
Lauren: I can show you a picture if you want.
Kailey: what?? Of him or his penis piercing??
Lauren: oh him, of course.
Kailey: *relieved*
