* * LAURIE! * *
I'm Laurie. I have hair that makes Richard Simmon's hair looks good. I like giraffes and monkeys. I especially like monkeys. When I was born, my dad said I was either a boy or the ugliest girl alive. It's things like that that makes my self-esteem so high these days. I like a mixture of music from Tool to Weezer to Billie Holiday to Flock of Seagulls. I have an extreme love for the 80s that will never cease. I think I've seen The Breakfast Club about thirty eight times, even though I only like parts of it. Emilio Estevez is my boyfriend. I have a lawn gnome named Clyde. He's dear to my heart. Bruce Willis sings stalker songs to me at night. I watch TV a lot. I love movies to death. I hate the feeling, sound, word, thought of fleece. My nanny gave me a fleece sweater awhile ago. I like the smell of gasoline, freshly cut grass and chlorine. I like when my skin smells after I get out of the pool. I tend to bite my nails too much so my nails are gross and short and creepy. I can't stand having bumps in my hair. I have to have music. I cry during scenes like the ending of Revenge of the Nerds. Unpixelated Sims is funny, and kind of creepy. Laughing at drunk people makes for good times. Claire is my sex monkey. You just wish you were, too. I'm not on crack, although you'd think I was.

Feeling: Complete, happy and a little bit hungry
Comment: Went shopping today at the mall with +Gemini+
Song: "Charlotte" - Kittie

This is early but: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOMMY! ^__^ Aimée couldn't go shopping because she had to babysit, so I called up +Gemini+ and asked her. Things got wary and complicated about driving parents but it turned out great! ^_^; My dad drove me to her house, where we then proceeded to drive to the mall. We shopped around and bought Mother's Day gifts [I'll tell you tomorrow what they were...just in case my mom is reading this. ^-^;; Hi Mom!] and laughed over what +Gemini+ had to buy her nanny, as her mom's gift to *her* mother. @@ It was a Conway Twitty and Loretta __?__ CD XD It was so old and funny! One of the songs was called "You Are the Reason Ours Kids Are Ugly" -_-; Nice, ne? *Ahem*, then we went to Chapters for the other hour and a half [altogether we spent 2 hours in the mall and in Chapters *30 minutes in the actual mall*, because time ran short when driving >__<] and read books. ^_^ That was my day! Now, it's suppertime so...yeah...*slinks away*

Feeling: Calm, physically sick and peaceful
Comment: Went to the chiropractor's today. >__< I had to wear a see-through pink robe!! The horror of it all...
Song: "One Man Army" - Our Lady Peace
"Digital Bath" -Deftones

-__-; I've been away for four/five days of the school week. Now it's Friday evening and I'm just feeling sick everytime I breathe in deeply. Mom and I went to the chiropractor's today and as above, was ordered to wear a hideously transparent gown. Then, the chiropractor opened it up at the back!! @@ I was freaking out...Basically, I have this lump in my lower left back from posture or physical strain or something. I wasn't really listening - he talked really quiet! ~_~;; Then, Mom and I went to a vintage clothing shop and I bought a sweater, a shirt and a skirt. ^__^ They rock. And then we had a freakin' mess of a time trying to figure out the Dairy Queen drive-thru [*_*] and then we got milkshakes. We came home and the rest as follows: She did stuff, I watched TV. She went to work, Brad and I fought, I went online. >_< I need school.

I had my needle yesterday and I cannot even lift my left arm all the way. Half way and I want to cry. I was *going* to go to school today, but since it's Civies Day and all my laundry was in the wash, Mom decided I could stay home after my appt. ^.^ Woo Mom! Hey, guess what! Scott was on TV - sort of. His class went to Toronto for his English Media class and they went for a taping of Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Our family [except Dad, who's in Kitchener but should be home any minute now!] sat down and watched it just so we could catch a glimpse of him. You saw little bits and pieces of him adjusting his hat or talking to his friend Adam. o_0 Boys.

I had *the* trippiest, almost disturbingly freaky dream last night. I was in my Religion class with my teacher, Mr. Gauthier [the pervert >_<] and the other students. The classroom was *really* dark, like pitch black, but I could see. @@ He was really mad at all of us and he ordered half the class to go outside. I was sitting near the back, with this girl Vanessa. We were lying down beside each other and then I remember Mr. Gauthier walking out of the room. Well, *then* everyone was milling around [the half left over in the class] inside the classroom and then he was at the closed door. Although the door was shut, I could see him behind it. He was orange and had a pumpkin-shaped thing for a head. '_' Then, he began pounding on the door and screaming at the top of his lungs for us to sit down and open the door. I ran *SO* fast back to my desk! -_-;; After this, he came in the room and began *SCREAMING* "IDIOTS! IDIOTS! IDIOTS! IDIOTS!" at us. That's when I woke up. Crazy ne?

Feeling: Absolutely paralyzed and in pain
Comment: I cannot bend, lay or sit straight because I have *the* worst backache. >_< Cannot move.
Song: "Baby Skin Tattoo" - Moist
"Breathe" - Moist
"Freaky Be Beautiful" - Moist

I've been kicking Midol back all day, because of this friggin' back pain!! In History, I almost cried because I couldn't even sit back into my chair. And the last two pills I took in History feel like they're caught in my chest. -__-;; I hate that feeling. +Gemini+ and I had a big talk today at lunch, while eating our fries. Woo, I got $18!! ^__^ I got this four-page list of 240 things that make you wonder in the world. Some of so ridiculously funny:

"If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why does he keep doing it?"
"Is there a Dr. Salt?"
"Just before someone gets nervous, do they get cocoons in their stomach?"
"If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?"

^.^; We finished watching "Remember the Titans" in Religion and it's *SO* good! Chantale kept telling me that sad parts were coming up and I totally made up the most stupid possibilities that would be tragic...~_~;; I'm on my brother's computer. Yeps, yeps. Owwie, ow ow ow!! My stomach just contracted >_< Buh bai for now while I continue to complain about womanhood and every blood consequence of it [no pun intended ^__^] all!! o_0; I need a nap.

Feeling: Sick, happy and comforted
Comment: I've slept for five hours and listened to "Save the Last Dance" CD over and over again
Song: "All or Nothing" - Athena Cage

Had *the* best dream, althought very discontorting and confusing. ^_^;; Opinionated people got me down for awhile but others helped me up again. ^.^ Today I was sick physically in first period, but then when I was ready to leave before second, it turned for the worse and went to menstrual cramps. In the car on the way home, my legs turned numb and my abdomen was tight and painful. >_< I took two Midol and slept off and on from 10:30 to 3:00 p.m. while listening to different CDs in my Discman. Then, my mommy and I watched "Promised Land" and bawled over it for the full hour. We're so emotional. And then we watched TV until 6:00 p.m., when I got online.

Isn't Athena Cage *the* best name? It must be a pen name, or something because that name just rocks! ^_^ Oh! We're watching "Remember the Titans" in Religion class and the "hippie" guy [with his short hair] is *SO* hot! And his *one* action to another team member made me giggle at the inside jokes +Gemini+ and I laugh over. Speaking of +Gemini+, we had a mic chat last night over MSN and we got *so* giddy. ^_^; We were making disturbing, loud noises to scare one another -_- She scared the frickin' crap out of me! ~_~;;

I'm renting "The Emperor's New Groove" from Chantale [brother's girlfriend's sister and my friend ^^;] tomorrow so yay for me! I wanted to see it since it came out in theatres. There's a dance on Friday, which I'm going to. And on Saturday, I'm going to see "A Knight's Tale" with some friends hopefully. HEATH LEDGER!! @@ He's *SO* hot!! Ahem, and I also want to see "The Animal" ^_^ Looks like a hoot! Ciao!

Comment: Woo for Rae-chan! XD She designed this blog and she rocks!! Take a bow, Rae-chan.
Song: "How Many Licks" - Lil Kim feat. Sisqo

Rae kicks cookies, she's so smart at HTML! ^_^; Which I'm not. Yukari sucks too. >_< School's tomorrow and I have *SO* much homework due but I'm finishing Career now so, it's alright. Well...my uncle and Kim left after supper....not much else to say ^_-;; Buh bai!

* You're so silly, Nanny! 7:41:21 PM * * *

Feeling: Horrible >_<
Comment: I feel like I have a hangover and I have this massive headache and an eye-twitch and my clothes smell like a barn -_-
Song: "Joey" - Concrete Blondes

Last night was so fun though! ^_^; We took Josslyn's video camera and did a parody of Blair Witch with her *HUGE* antique barn and an empty apple orchard. God, it's hilarious! XD We're so unprofessional. We had to do some many takes because we were laughing too hard! @@ Julia and I got the friggin' crap scared out of us because a bird was up in the rafters. x___x We nearly died! Anyway, my uncle's girlfriend's dog Toby is *SO* irristible!! ^_^ Awww!
