my new and improved profile!

actually, it's not new and improved, because that's impossible. if it's new, then there was never anything to improve on, and if it's improved, then it's not new!

anyways... i'm lauren. i live in nowheresville, california. i spend most of my time in front of a computer/tv/notebook, considering there is just short of nothing to do here. i have a love of short, awkward sentences that my english teacher hates. i sometimes come off as mean, but i'm really not. not usually. i just happen to have a very sarcastic, biting sense of humor that gets me into trouble at times. i always have music playing, whether it's on my ipod, on the radio, a cd, or just stuck in my head. it's always there. my ipod is the love of my life. i really love jane austen. i can be really random, but even behind my randomness there's usually a common thread, even if it's really obscure.

these are really random quotes/lyrics. some of them are inspirational, some are just random, and one's pretty depressing.

live believing dreams are for weaving

-yes, it's from the land before time, but i love it. it's also some of the best advice i've ever heard.

but there are dreams that cannot be, and there are storms we cannot weather

-les miserables. quite possibly my favorite lyric ever, even though it's totally depressing

got nothing to give you but a prayer/ God's gonna see you through/ to part with you more than i can bear/ but somebody gonna love you/ sweet baby, sweet/ this much i know is true/ sleep, baby, sleep/ cuz somebody gonna love you/ oh i'm always gonna love you

-"somebody gonna love you" from the color purple. one of my absolute favorite songs, and completely soothing and comforting. really great to listen to when you're trying to go to sleep.

no, it won't all go the way it should/ but i know the heart of life is good.

-"the heart of life" by john mayer. this is the quote i repeat over and over when i feel crappy. you should try it. it works, at least for me

when you're worried and you can't sleep/ count your blessings instead of sheep

-"count your blessings" from white christmas. if you haven't seen this movie, i STRONGLY suggest that you go watch it before you talk to me. this is also some really good advice.

either do or do not. there is no try.

-yoda. some of my words to live by

a person's a person, no matter how small

-dr. seuss. let's try to remember this one, shall we?

If you think that those stupid kids should just give that God-forsaken Trix rabbit some Trix, copy this into your profile. i meant that dumb Lucky Charms dude always gets away... why can't the poor rabbit have the dang Trix?? or why does he have to steal it?? can't he just go the store and buy some like a normal person? not that he's a person... but those dang kids seem to have no problem running away from a rabbit of all things...
