Bwaaaah I want to take a shower! But as it’s like…midnight, that’s not really an option. I don’t like smelling the way I do…damn nightmares.

wow I’m sure that made sense. Basically, Laura sleeping=nightmares=cold sweats, hand-biting, “elbow pit”-itching and usually getting sick. WOOOHOO not. The first is why I’m unhappy with my smell (lol that sounds so bizarre) and the last didn’t happen this time. YAY for that…

On to something of more ’substance’!

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a Twi-hard (Twilight obsessed person, if you don’t know. Tsk tsk.) and I’ll probably be posting some videos about the books/movie soon, so you can look forward to that…?

ALSO two of my friends and I have been recording some vlogs lately, so when I finally get the motivation to edit those, you can look for them on a new youtube account that I’ll probably link to from here…or maybe I’ll make YOU find it on your OWN. legasp.

OH and I need to go to Barnes and Noble (I LOVE the way it smells there. Ahhh….) and pick up an edition of Plushie Pals…someone should really remind me to do that at some point!

I just got home from my aunts…well, I got home a while ago, but that’s not the point. As the title may suggest, i’m tanned and tired at the moment…Tanned because I went out hiking/rock climbing today and tired because I had to spend the last day and a half at my aunt’s because my parents ‘abandoned me’ to go to a wedding. Sadd…

I need to be pale-er, I haven’t posted in forever. I need to work on a Social Studies project and school’s out in a week. I haven’t said sorry yet and I have rehersal in the morning. I need a nap and a hug.

I love how I’m bored all the time.

How instead of trying to re-write my half-arsed math answers,

I browse the NW mindlessly.

Instead of writing mirror poems for class,

I insist on making sure my eyeliner is sharpened ‘correctly’.

While I could be cleaning my room,

I chat for far, far too long on Skype.

Rather than taking the 3-day old cereal bowl out of my room,

I write pointless blogs

And instead of cleaning my room in general,

I debate which jeans I should wear on my Jazz Band tour on Friday.

Someone should throw me out of the back of the plane

Just to hear me say “woo. I’m bored”. Seriously.

I am so incredibly proud. In the geekiest of ways, but still. I’m sure you all remember that dear sweet cousin of mine who called Dave? Yes, of course you do…who ever could forget him! At any rate…I’ve been keeping a close watch on him lately, as creepy as it sounds, and he has taken the final steps(in my eyes) of the quest to nerdom–using geekspeak in an argument, and officially proclaiming himself a nerd.

I’m glad I noticed his geekiness early…and he’s actually exited to have me tell him “everything you know about computers. Right now. Please??” If only I were smarter about the subject than he thinks I am…better beef up before this weekend

Again, I’m glad I saw this coming. The first signs? His acceptance into the only gifted course offered at his school (which I use to attend…it’s wonderfully lame, I must say.) and obsession with electronics(not only using them! Disassembling them, as well). I know I’ve said this a bit, but I’m really exited. And jealous, in a way, because he realized that he was a nerd long before I ever did, and he has me to learn from (lucky, lucky him, I know). Aside from that, at the rate technology is improving, he will see sooo much more in his lifetime than I could’ve dreamed of.

Someone should seriously remind me to ask him when he first started using a computer…*coughcough TWO YEARS OLD over here cough cough* Hah. Wow…You’re jealous, and you know it.

Folks, today has been an amazing day in the Land of Laura. Yes, it exists (now), conform! At any rate, there’s two, count ‘em, TWO points to this blog (which is two more than usual). So, firstly, I got my hair dyed yet again today. It’s now a wonderfully scene-uh-licious mixture of red, platinum blonde, dirty blonde, brown and black. Amazing, I know…the blonde dye kept dripping into my eyes, though >.< Issal good ^.^

The second point to this blog is to make a huge point that I wrote 1,000 words exactly in the last…under twelve hours. Not an easy feat, given the topic (an online game, on neopets. About thieving bugs. Yup.) and I’m immensely proud. This article will be published in Beckett’s Plushie Pals magazine at some point, and words cannot even begin to describe how happy I am to have had this opportunity (thanks go to, of course, Kym Kym, you pwn and you know it!). Given the difficulty I had writing this, I would almost want to say “Never again” but really it’s been a great experience (go for it if ever given the chance, seriously!) and I can’t wait to show my parents and my former Language Arts teacher who simply adores me for some reason (won’t they be exited when I walk up to them grinning like a doof with a Plushie Pals magazine in hand? I bet they will…)

Okay, I’m done being spasmic now. Have an amazing day/afternoon/evening

Laura

So, I went to the mall today (shocker, I know). It was a pretty normal day…I was there with a few friends, we went in and out of Hot Topic and Spencer’s about twelve times…but something was different today. You’re probably not going to guess this, either, I’m sure.

Basically what happened was that while walking around looking for some place for me to get an energy drink, we weren’t the only ones hardcore dancing outside of Hollister (while gasping for air). There was a group of three other people who left a few moments before us and I made the decision that “we should go stalk them!” ever-so excitedly. Because that’s the type of thing I do. Well, one of the people I was referring to began walking towards us—nothing new—and just introduced himself and whatever (asked if we wanted to touch his ‘boob’…the norm haha). Like I’ve said, nothing was really so bizarre that I had to blog about it at this point…but then he told us he had Tourette’s. My initial instinct was to completely ignore that statement and the insane vulgarity that was to follow. He just kind of looked at us, and my friends examined my disgusted look…and then it dawned on me. He really did have Tourette’s. It wasn’t blatantly obvious, but he wasn’t lying to us.

Now, this blog may seem a bit pointless, but it’s really not. This should be a reminder to all of you who find the videos and whatnot of those people who really do (and possibly those who are posing) have Tourette’s that this is a real condition and shouldn’t be ignored. I’m not going to go into what I know about it, but you may want to look some stuff up. Anyway, the point is, although this guy had Tourette’s, he did have some self control and led a perfectly normal life (I know this because we all ended up hanging around the mall for a few hours…some of the best times I’ve had in a while. WHEE. Haha).  So…yeah. That’s about it, feel free to comment.

I bet you’ll never guess what happened to me this weekend.

Go on, guess.

No, you’re wrong. Idiot. I suppose I’ll just tell you, then…

Well…I let my cousin goof off with my mobile this weekend, because he was wanting to. He asked if he could call/text some of my friends and I said ‘Yes’, as I assumed they’d figure it out, or I could tell them later. While I was clearing off the table (because he was ‘busy’)he just said “aww…it’s the machine” and I told him to go ahead and leave a message. He started breathing deeply and then screamed and hung up. I took the phone from him — “idiot…” — and snapped it shut. I never bothered to check who he left the message with…

A few hours later, my phone vibrates in my pocket. A text message, I assume. It rings again. Oh, a call!  I hope it’s my mom, calling to save me. I pull the phone out of my pocket and who’s name do I see?

“Call from

Dave Moyer”

No. Your eyes have not deceived you. Dave himself..chyeah, I know. Strange. My first thought is that there must be some dire emergency–but decide that’s stupid, because why would he call me of all damned people? My next pondering is “…And just where did Dave get my number?” Being the smart little cookie I am, I check my sent calls and see his name yet again. I rush down the stairs, grab my cousin by the ears and pull him down yet another flight of stairs– “YOU are CALLING DAVE back and APOLOGIZING” I hiss at him, to low for his mother(My aunt) to hear. I call Dave back (I could’ve sworn I’d deleted that number from my contacts[I used his name for the Neocast number, so I wouldn't have to explain having "neocast" as a contact]) three times. Then he calls me back again (or maybe he answered, I can’t remember for certain at this point). The phone is shoved at my cousins ear, and whatever Dave said to him, he thought he was calling the police (way to go Dave…lol. No, seriously, you officially rock now.) “LAURA TOLD ME TO! Okay…Laura, come talk to Dave!” is the only bit of the convo. I notice. Oh crap. I take the phone and apoligize myself, trying my best to explain the situation…

Awkward much? Hell yeah. (Sorry, again, Dave )

The Modbook is a Mac book modification done performed by Axiotron, a relatively new company with its main headquarters in California. These modifications are done to new Mac books only, so you cannot send in your own to be modified. The main, and really the only difference between these two systems is that the Modbook’s screen is on the exterior and it is a slate-style tablet. The new Modbooks are protected by three layers of metal and the LCD panel and iSight cam are protected by “chemically strengthened Axitron ForceGlass™(www.axitron.com). I’m sure that by this point you’re wondering—How much IS this marvel? A mere 2,290 USD. More information can be found at Axitron’s website, listed above. As for myself, I may look into purchasing one of these in the future, but it seems more economical at this point in time to buy an Apple Mac book and an external tablet.

Yes, it’s true folks! Laura Stevens is back and better than ever, here on wordpress. Hold your applause, it’s thrilling, I know.

More updates to come, and a TON of thanks to Dave and Kym for using wordpress on their neopets fansites and forcing me to learn it, you’ve made life much easier, now. =P
