I'm Lauren, a 23 year old nerdy dental hygiene student. I play tenor saxophone and work as a bitter bookseller. Until May, I'll be here in Miami Beach with my geek of a boyfriend Michael. Then I'll be off to jumpstart my career in someplace new and exciting!
This is my blog of thoughts and inspirations through photos, videos, quotes, and music. Anything that is not mine contains a click-through link to the artist. You can also listen to all of my audio posts by clicking on the audio stream at the bottom of the page.

Yeah I definitely searched my username and found this. What the fuck is this? Who is this anonymous person having dreams about me at weddings and writing about it on their secret blog? I am confused/scared.

“Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man’s home in Carroll, Iowa.
There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker” - Full Story
ahahahahahahahahahah BRILLIANT!
LIFE UPDATE. I received the schedule for my very last semester of dental hygiene school, Spring 2010! It’s certainly not the most interesting set of classes, but hopefully it won’t be too bad. This semester has been pretty crazy so it’s a relief knowing I’m getting through it with great grades and it’s going to be over before I know it.
Mondays
Dental Materials 8:00am-9:50am
Dental Materials Lab 10:00am-11:50am
Dental Hygiene V Lecture 1:30pm-3:20pm
Tuesdays/Thursdays
Dental Hygiene V Clinic 8:00am-4:00pm
Wednesdays
Community Dental Heath II 8:00am-11:50am
We will also be implementing our community projects for 6 weeks. My group is going to be educating elderly residents on oral health in a day care center for several hours a week. I still have not decided if I want to do Honors Clinic and I need to figure it out by next week. (One less patient on on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we have to assist with some freshmen lectures, and basically be a TA at freshmen clinic on Fridays). I’m trying to decide if that’s going to be too much pressure on me - two less patients a week means more stress with requirements, worrying about powerpoints for lectures, being at school on Fridays… I like having my Fridays to study or go home to see my family for the weekend. Not to mention, I have to worry about national boards, laws, clinical boards, and figure things out with taking my clinical board exam in North Carolina as well. It sounds overly stressful and I don’t really know what I’ll be getting out of it besides more leadership experience, which I have plenty of already. I guess it looks good on resumes, but it’s the interview that really matters in the end. Ah, decisions decisions.
Speaking of decisions, I was thinking about leaving my job at the end of November until March (and go back in April) so I can really focus on studying for boards. But I may have decided to try working one day a week for 8 hours… probably an awkward day like Wednesdays. That way, I can make nearly 300 bucks a month to at least help out with food and gas and still see my family once in a while and on the weekends. The manager was okay with that. I think it seems doable and it might be a good idea to try that and see how it goes. Quitting completely makes me feel kind of weird since I’ve been at the bookstore for nearly 5 years. (I would miss customers like that Dog Whisperer customer ahahaha) I also want to attempt to enjoy my last few months in Miami since I’m out of here sometime in May!
Anyway, ranting about my boring student life on the dashboards. This is supposed to be a blog, y’all. I don’t write novels often. haha.
A hilarious imitation of the dramatic reading breakup letter “You make me touch your hands for stupid reasons” (which if you have never seen before, watch that first… hilarious.)
This is an actual email Jason received. (It shouldn’t surprise anyone - crazies love Jason.) Voice by the brother of emilyisasecret.
I want to touch your face
Subject: Please read…
“Today must’ve been your day off, after a week and a half working
non-stop. You haven’t heard from me because I had a little hope that
you would finally call me on your day off. That did not happen. ;(
I wanted to tell you that you were always number one since I got into
match. I played it cool, but this is the truth. I can’t tell you how
happy I was when I was finally able to reach you and you replied to my
email.
Then, when we first started instant-messaging each other, I got very
excited. It was the best part of my day: talking to you. I couldn’t
believe I was making a connection with YOU. I couldn’t have been more
lucky. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear at the time, but I think
you’re the most handsome guy I ever met. Your eyes, your lips, your
smile, your pictures… I couldn’t get you out of my head. Then, the
things you wrote me on the aim, made me fall in love with you. You
said that you wanted to have someone who would touch your face and
tell you she cares about
you. I wanted to be that person. I wanted to touch you and tell you
that I care. Then, when we first spoke on the phone, I was so happy. I
loved to hear your voice and I knew I wanted to spend time with you. I
knew you were the one. I couldn’t wait to meet you. When we met at the
Delano, and then we walked on Lincoln Rd., I played it cool again, but
I was completely attracted to you. You told me you thought I looked
just like the pictures, and that I was very pretty. You kept touching
me and putting your arms around my neck on the street. I loved it… I
was so happy that my wish had come true. I was with ‘you.’
You asked me to come to your ‘hood’, so I did. To me, your place was
just amazing. I loved everything, especially your room. It smelled
just like you. ;) When we were watching the movie, you started to kiss
my neck slowly. I felt shy, but I knew you were attracted. I was
really flattered. I thought you were so hot… I couldn’t help myself
and we went a little beyond what I had planned. I just couldn’t help
myself: that’s how much I liked you. I couldn’t help but complimenting
you: you made me feel things I had never felt before. I was very
excited. I think that’s called young-love…
When you took me to my car, you asked me to text you when I got home.
That means you were okay with me, right? Up to this point you were
perfectly fine with my presence, I think… Or else you wouldn’t ask
me to text you. I texted you, and I never got a response back from
you… You never spoke to me again. I called and left voicemails, I
texted you, I sent you instant-messages… I don’t understand! All
this is killing me… ;( I am so hurt. My heart is broken.
I really felt a connection with you. We spoke for hours on the aim,
and we went on two dates. Then all of a sudden you stopped talking to
me, like I did something horrible to you. What did I do? Whatever I
did, whatever I said, I’m sorry…
And now you’ve been writting strange things on the aim buddy page,
such as “I’ve never been so scared of being alone.” If you’re scared
of being alone, let me be with you. I want to hold your face and tell
you that I care. I want to be the one to whom you’re going to direct
your affection.
Can you please just tell me why you won’t talk to me? I miss you, I
want to be with you. I love you.

This is why Jason’s female friends mock his CBOX. Obviously for his protection. Needless to say, this made me cry laughing.
For my birthday, Mike’s family mailed me framed artwork by Catherine Campbell. So so so happy about this! It was totally unexpected and I absolutely looooove the one they picked out for me, which is similar to the one pictured. Definitely hanging on my wall forever!
I’ve been so freakin busy that updating has not even crossed my mind. Midterms are finally over though so I can relax for a bit!
Dry erase marker mug from dad! And yes, I had to write backwards on my mug so that it would come up correctly on photo booth. I am dumb and forgot that I can just flip photos hahaha. No, my handwriting is not that awful when I write correctly. lol
Danny Seim. I’m just sayin.
FSU CHIEFS HALFTIME SHOW - Michael Jackson’s “THRILLER” dance!
So fucking good! They even put down their instruments and did part of the dance for Thriller. 450+ members. I can’t believe they pulled this off! That crowd went nuts! They deservedly received a standing ovation from the entire stadium. FSU football is super lame this year, but the band has never ever lost a halftime. Ugh so loud too, i love it. MISS YOU, CHIEFS. MCATDT!!!!
