the girl with stars in her eyes

27 July 2008 @ 12:38 am

well let me tell you about my day.

i woke up. a few times actually before i really had to wake up. then i woke up for real and i was really dizzy so i ate something (i can't remember what now) and drank some delicious V8 splash juice. then i got ready for my last day of work ever at subway.

so i went to work and i ended up doing a lot of prep which was nice because i actually do enjoy doing prep because it's easy to do and relaxing. except for the onions because it makes your eyes burn off and most of the time i end up closing my eyes while i'm cutting them and putting them in the slicer and it's probably a miracle that i never sliced my finger off. i did the onions today and my face got all red and my nose was all runny and i kept crying so then i walked up to jami and andrea and said, "i'm just so sad that i'm leaving".

haha. not exactly. well, maybe a little bit. just a little. it's really all stupid kevin's fault because he was being all whiny and stuff. which is not unusual for kevin to do. (if he happens to read this he will probably start whining about how i said that he whines about everything. seriously) but i'll miss a few select people and standing in the back touching my nose and saying "not it". i'll miss breaking cookies and talking to my favorite julie about everything and reading cosmo. and i'll miss prepping crab because even though that stuff smells gross and probably doesn't taste too good either i loved mixing it because it felt so squishy and it was fun. otherwise i'm feeling good about leaving because i'm definitely ready for a change.

so then work was over and i left and i felt very happy and i came home and watched some friends and laid around and then i ended up going to borders with sean satterlee and that was a good time because let's face it, there are only about four things better than borders and sean satterlee. and i got some new books. this one about winston churchill because i love him and wuthering heights because i keep hearing about it. i don't really know how to pronounce that either. withering, wethering, wuthering, weathering, no clue.

and now i am at home talking to my wonderful boyfriend and we're playing scrabulous and talking about yogurt and things.

i think it has been a pretty good day.

i'm really excited about my new job. i love kitchen appliances. i hope i love it and everyone that works there is normal and nice and stuff.

i am not really excited about starting school again in the fall. i suppose it's just because i'm lazy and i don't feel like sitting in classes or doing work or falling asleep in classes. i do kind of like being on campus sometimes. it's nice. i like the library. it smells like books. (= but apparently, i don't have any breaks with any of my favorite people and that makes me sad and want to go less.

right now i'd like to have some chocolate chip pancakes with my best friend kt. she is the best to eat pancakes with. haha, remember that time we colored them with crayons?

well i'm tired and i don't have anything else to say. goodnight.

oh my.

well i woke up around 5ish not feeling very well. i do feel okay now but of course i couldn't fall back asleep. then i was extremely hungry so i made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and got some raisins. i really love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. my mom makes the best ones, honest. i would've liked to have one that she made but she probably would've been mad if i woke her up to ask her to make me one. the one that i made did turn out pretty good though.

i am very tired. and i need a new job. oh my goodness, i need a new job. i don't know where though. i think i'd like to work at that puzzle store at the mall because i do like puzzles and i don't think it ever gets very busy. the only people i've ever seen in there are me and ray and the lady that works there. and it doesn't smell gross like onions or bleach or toasted seafood subs.

i just sneezed a lot.

i can't really think of much to write about becuse my mind just keeps wondering from thought to thought and i keep thinking about things i really don't want to write about.

here is a question. if a man is bald, what do they put for his hair color on his drivers license? do they put anything at all? do they write bald?

my stupid id still says that i'm blonde. even though i told them to change it twice. stupid. oh yeah, my mom made me get my permit yesterday.

also, i got 2 sets of fiesta dinnerware for $19.55 each. it was awesome.

well i really have absolutely nothing else to say now. so i'm going to lay in bed and not sleep.

good morning.

ohh.

well it's definitely been more than 26 days since my last post.

i am a little bored. very tired. and the right side of my head kind of hurts still.

it's weird. whenever i get migraines (because i can't ever just get a normal headache anymore) the right side of my head always hurts super, super bad but the left side, not so much.

so this is what has happened since my last post on march 3rd.

hmm, on march 3rd ray and i had been together for 30 days. today is the 100th day. how exciting. i've found that counting days is so much more exciting than counting months or weeks.

i did go see wicked. i almost didn't. because it was that day when there was seriously like 5 feet of snow and the roads were soo bad. but we drove all the way to cleveland (it took 3ish hours) and risked our lives just to see it. it would've been worth dying in a car crash. it was excellent.

i've seriously made 7 cakes in the past 2 days. i guess really 5 because i mixed 2 together. one of them looked really awful. one of them looked really good. stephanie decorated 2 of them. those ones look nice too.

and guess what! i made the best chocolate cake ever this morning for my best friend kt because her birthday was yesterday and every time i make that cake the frosting that i make for it never mixes well and some of the powdered sugar gets lumpy and it looks like the cake has lice or there is anthrax on it or something. but i mixed it perfectly today and there were no little white chunks in it at all! i am way too excited about that.

i spent most of today being sick. it's ridiculous, almost everyday some part of my body hurts. i need like a body transplant or something. the only nice thing about it was that i got to leave work 5 hours early. but i felt kind of bad leaving. and i much rather would've felt awesome and stayed at work anyways because i'm very tired of feeling sick all the time. but i am feeling much better now.

so i went to prom with ray last month. it was fun and nice because i had never gone before but now i don't know what to do with my dress. it doesn't fit in my closet and there isn't anywhere else to put it in my house. so it's just hanging out in my room on one of the cupboards. but it's in the way a lot of the time. and i'm probably not going to where it much anymore.

oh my goodness. yesterday i was at home all by myself and i looked out the window and there was this man standing in our backyard going through this pile of wood throwing it all over the place. and anyone that knows me knows that i am only the most paranoid person pretty much ever and i freaked out and didn't exactly do anything about it except make sure all the doors and windows were locked. i was scared, i thought he might kill me. somehow. but then he left after like 5 minutes.

but it was weird. how just throws around wood in other people's backyards?

my birthday is in 6 days. since i was young, i kind of always thought that this should be the best birthday because i'll be 19 on the 19th. but i was just asking my sister if her 16th birthday was the best (because obviously her birthday is the 16th) and she said no. it was awkward. i think i'm going to be very disappointed.

well my stomach feels weird. goodnight.

laura feels: ewwish.

well, it's almost been a month since my last post. more like 26 days. i don't really like to post/blog/write more than once a month because everyone is like, "laura, we don't really care about what you have to say more than once a month...really, we don't even care once a month". i know this is true, and i'm totally okay with that.

today was a pretty good day. the worst thing that happened so far was that my coffee spashed out of my coffee cup this morning and got all over the lid. and i really hate it when that happens. i didn't have anything to wipe it off with. because i was in calculus class. and i hate calculus too.

like 7 people held doors open for me today. it was awesome. i really appreciate it when people hold doors open, it is a nice thing to do.

i always use the sidesteps in debartolo and i have this weird, irrational fear (except that all of my fears are weird and irrational) that when i open of the doors, will step out and there will be nothing there to step on and i will fall down into oblivion. so i always look out the little window in the door to make sure that the stairs are actually there. they consistently are. i don't know what is wrong with me.

i have to go to work in about 1 hour and 42 minutes. i hope mary decided to do her job today so i don't have to finish baking all the bread. sometimes i burn myself.

i need to get some pet fish.

i should be writing this paper for my stupid science lab class about recycling. it has to be three pages and that's completely ridiculous because i don't think anyone can go on about recycling for that long. i've become quite passionate about hating that class. i never smile. the grad assistant even pointed this out and now he keeps trying to get me to smile. it won't work. atleast it isn't as bad as when class was under the rule of that mr. indian man. if i ever see him, i will smash him up and eat him for breakfast. it wouldn't be hard, since he is about a head and a half shorter than me. giving me a 'b' probably just because my hair is red...

ok.

i've been eating almonds for a whole month now.

that's all i have to say about that. i'll be back next month. unless something monumentally important happens, but nothing will. because nothing monumentally important happens to me.

wicked countdown: 5 days!!
my birthday: 2 months and 16 days.

keep on walking.

ahhh! i almost don't like my computer. i keep having to restart it. pop ups keep popping up. the internet keeps closing. i think i never installed something important like virus protection or whatever. but oh well, i really don't care actually.

i'm starving so i'm eating a bunch of those orange crackers with the peanut butter. i'm sure that's the healthiest choice. what i really want is some macaroni and cheese, but if i go downstairs and try to make it, mia madre will probably throw things at me. something like that.

so instead of satisfying my hunger, i decided to write a bunch of pointless things.

i'm really having an awful week. too many weird things keep happening. i'm not even going to write them, mostly because no one really needs/wants to know about my enthralling personal life.

my favorite part of the week was when katie t. came over and sat on my bed and we talked about things. wait, was that even this week?

how about this?
the phone rang at work the other day and i answered it and said, "hello. girard subway. how can i help you?"
and the lady asked, "is this subway?"
well, i don't know, i just only said it was subway when i answered because i was joking.
she was also the loud.
i wasn't really her biggest fan.

wow, great story.

tonight i went to TNT's production "The Cover of Life". it was kind of funny. kind of not. my sister's character killed herself. julie casey's look alike from warren g. harding was also in attendance once again. i wore my favorite shiny, black shoes. they make me about 5'11".

well, this is what my playlist currently consists of:
(because i bet you wanted to know)
i've just seen a face - across the universe soundtrack/jim sturgess
anyone else but you - the moldy peaches
let the river run - carly simon
dark blue - jack's mannequin
at the bottom of everything - bright eyes
walking on broken glass - annie lennox
in your eyes - peter gabriel

i think "let the river run" is probably my favorite carly simon song of all time. even more than "you're so vain". ah, i can't think of that song anymore without thinking of sean s.

i know way too many people named sean.
sean sattarlee, sean gramelt, shawn martin, sean paulie (he was my first crush, but i guess i don't really know him since i haven't seen him since like, 4th grade), jami's husband sean, umm...ok, that's really not that many.
i think i know more people named matt.

my friend matt white got to go to the eagle and child pub. i'm way too jealous.

onto more important things...
my room is really, really clean. kind of.

i want to go on a trip.

i just realized that i have economics on mondays, wednesdays AND fridays now instead of just tuesdays and thursdays, so i'm probably going to feel like killing myself a lot more now.

oops.

tomorrow morning i'm going to make biscotti.
then probably nothing.
then i have to go to work.
i hope it's fun.

i'm going to see wicked on march 8th. (=
with my favoritest cousin olivia.

if i ever have a daughter (which i kind of hope i don't) i'd like to name her olivia.

i'm still really hungry. i think i'll risk getting things thrown at me.
k. bye.

ok. well, i'm sitting here listening to my old school amy grant. i've recently realized that i will always and forever love amy grant. at least her old work. even though she divorced gary chapman for vince gill. and in my opinion, gary is just a little bit better looking than vince.

marriage should only be about looks.

i've really done nothing of significance the past month. i've lost about 5ish pounds and i watched harry potter and the order of the phoenix tonight. i've seen it three times now and i can never really decide if i like it or not. i do like parts of it, but collectively, i just don't know.

haha, i stumbled across this video and i thought it was mildly amusing.

if you would like to check it out.

christmas is in three days. it doesn't feel like it yet.

i hate charter one. they messed up my account. again.

i think i'm going to go have some dreams now. goodnight.

laura feels: ahhh

let the dreamers wake the nation.

i hope everyone had a wonderful 5th of november. but apparently, no one else even knows who guy fawkes was.

i'm in the library and it's really cold. especially my feet.
i'm listening to carly simon.
i'm kind of hungry. i ate a bagel this morning.

when i own a bakery, i have no idea what i'm going to call it.

there is this book i can see and it says "PANDORA" on it. that reminds me of pandora's box (duh) but i don't think thats what that particular books is about. the books next to it are titled "Statistical Record Women Worldwide" and "In Praise of Black Women".

i like jim sturgess's voice. i can't for the life of me think of who he reminds me of.

you know it's gonna be alright.
and that's that.

laura feels: complacent

leave them hanging on the line.

wow. i hadn't used lj in so long i couldn't even remember how to customize a layout. i took me about an hour to get it right. i was going to use a harry potter one but i couldn't figure it out. but i like this one a lot, i like books. it sort of reminds of that scene from beauty and the beast when he suprises her with the library.

i'm not in a very good mood. definitely not in the mood for socializing with people.
ahh. idk. everything has been weird lately.

i don't remember when i started this journal or what compelled me to have my username be "ld_rubberbands". it's kind of lame.

i guess i don't really have anything to say.

every inch.

i think this was a sign.

i randomly came on here just because i haven't in months and i didn't plan on posting anything but then it just came up. so i'm going with it.

i neglect things a lot i guess.
like livejournal. and getting a job. and other decisions.
ohhh.

i've been told that i've changed a lot recently. i suppose that is true, i just didn't feel it or see it for along time. and then all of the sudden, one night last week i realized that i'm a completely different person. i'm not sure how i feel about that. i realized that i miss things from the past, the way i used to be, but i can't go back now. it makes me sad to a certain extent. i like who i am...but, you know?

my tummy hurts a bunch. it's scaring me.

i kind of want things to slow down for a second. i feel a bit behind.
