"maybe there really is someone out there for everyone"
well i am surprised to say that i had a good valentines day... actually i had a great valentines day. it was more then i asked for and much more then i deserved, actually nevermind, i do think that i deserved it. why is it so hard for me to belive that someone might actually be interested in me? well last night i set that i aside and had a great time. sure, we might not get married but we are having fun while it lasts. i truly dont think that i have bene this happy in a long time, and you know what? it feels really good. its like i am a whole new person. well i have to go back to the conference now but i hope that everyone else had a great day ysterday, and remember that if i can ever like vday so can you. lauren :) |

remember to always live life to its fullest......
*what can i say about nick damon? well for starters, he was one of the first people to make me feel truly comfortable in apo. he had a great sense of humor and would be the first to make you laugh in a bad situation. he is one of the only people who has ever gotten me out on a dance floor and i enjoyed myself. he taught me a whole new meaning to "bump and grind". he was one of those people who was determined to make a difference in the world, and even though he never made to new zealand... i hope he realizes that he has made such a difference on every path that he has already traveled down. i know that it is hard to realize right now, why he is no longer with us, when he had so many great things in front of him, but we just need to put trust in those above us. "everything happens for a reason". nick will be truly missed and always remember but if we take anything from this experience, it might be... live today as if it is your last becuase you never know when it may be. nick we love you and we will see you soon... when we are all in a better place in God's name.. amen |

"Smile, its a simple way to spread God's love"
why is it just when i think that things can change and are , and that people support me in the decisions that i choose to make in life.. i am proved to be wrong once again. is it so hard for people to be happy for me and all of me? all i wanted was some people there to support me in a huge life decision. if you didnt want ot be there even the slightest bit, then you shouldnt have come. it meant a lot to have you there but it would have meant more to be if i felt you went bc you wanted to not bc you felt you had to. why is it that you cant just excpet that fact that we are differnt and not dwell on it. why do you have to make comments? why cant you just keep your mouth shut? if you dont agree.. that is fine but keep it to yourslef. you have no idea how hard this whole thing has been and how much i have had to overcome thorugh out it all. it would have been alot easier if you would have been there for me but even easier if you wouldnt have said anything as compared to what you did say. if you want to say something say it to ME! not the whole internet world. i am so sick of stupid away messages or profiles... they are your profiles.. so why are they about me? do you n ot realize that i read them too? i thought we were friends? well if we were you would know that i wouldnt like that and you would stop ..but instead they continue. i thought they might stop after you witnessed a part of what ia m going through but i was wrong.. it still persists. there are very limted groups in my life; family and friends are two of them. when my family fails me.. i expect to go to my friends but who do i go to when they fail you too? i dont know what else ot say.. i can pray that things willl change but will it be a waste of time.. who knows ~me |

"to love someone is to see the face of God"
soi know that i never writ ein this thing but i never know what to say bc i never know what ia m feeling.. well right now i am frustrated and confused and stressed and tired. i am not doing too well in school, well by my standards but i am conpensating that with getting involved a lot which is what i want but i feel that there are very select poeple that are happy for me. isnt that the most importnatthing? to make sure that i am having a good time doing things that i love to do? well then why am i constantly getting shit from people? i am sory that i dont have a million hours to spend with you or even 5 for that matter but things will settle down and i will have time. and if you still lived in towers and were involed liek you wanted to be instead of baling on me then you would be busy too and wouldunderstnad what iam going though. i knw that once you move off campus you just dont care anymore but i still love on campus and i still do care so back off. my feelings are very discombabulated right now and i dont know what to do. i am waiting for god to send me a sign on what to do but it hasnt happend yet so i all i can do it wait. this weekend i am going away on a site leader retreat which i have been looking forward to for so long and i have worked really hard to achieve and i am so excited but i dont feel that my excited is shared by others. i heard some relaly wback news tonight about someone whom i have known for a really long time. so if any of you know katie pepper or have even heard of her or even if you havent , please pray for her mom. she is really sick right now and she really needs as many people praying for her righht now.. remmeber "miracles happen everyday" and i think that it is her turn. that is it for now.. hope everyone is doing well lauren :) |

oh boy oh boy
so last night i was hanging out with jairus and he told me that he went into livejournal and read mine... i guess my horrible writing has gotten the worst of me bc he read something that said that opposite of what i meant. well we talked about it and figured it all out. florida was awesome. i got to hold so many turtles, it was amaizing. it was extremely hot though but i got a good tan so it was worht it. i leave on wenesday to go back to school and that it very sad. actually i cant quite figure out if i am sad or not. part of me want to go back and part of me wants to stay.. i jsut dont know which part is bigger. some things that have recently happend make me think that part is bigger but who knows.. well got ot go.. good luck everyoone.. love you all lauren :) |

im 6 feet from the edge and i thinking.......
last night emily and i hung out and it was a lot of fun. first of all we worked together all night so you would think that we would have been sick of each other, but we werent. however, there is a rumor going on at work that we are lesbians: wonder how that started? anyways so we went to go get coffee after work and just talked about things, it was really nice. lately i have been thinking a lot about how lucky i am that i have people that i can really and trully talk to about things that are importnat. i dont mean that bullshit things (even though that helps too) i mean that things are are really important in life. an di am even luckier bc i have a few people: 2 huge helps to me life: THANK YOU EMILY AND ALLISON: I LOVE YOU BOTH!! - well know i am at work and i jsut went and played tennis with my cousin and it was a lot of fun but man to i suck. that is one sport that everyone should be happy that i never picked up or wanted to start. i was hopeless. but he is starting lessons soon so maybe he can teach me a thing or two. better go talk to you soon lauren :) |
