January 2010
Makin’ homemade mac and cheese, reading Vanity Fair, and doing my astronomy homework. I love this school.
Is it pathetic that I kinda don’t want to have a snow day tomorrow so I can go to class?
Or maybe I’m just that cool.
Dear Snow,
It’s WILLIAMSBURG. The south. Can’t you remember to keep the snow where it’s supposed to be? Aka - Chicago. I do not appreciate you following me all the way down here to ruin a perfectly delightful weekend. Now, I can’t get pancakes because of you. This is not okay.
Go away. Seriously.
Sincerely,
Lauren.
Paintin' my nails and listenin' to Regina Spektor.
Today was a good day.
British Literature is just a fantastic class, I had lunch with the boy, spent the afternoon grocery shopping and running errands, made a delicious dinner, and now I’m here. Paintin’ my nails and listenin’ to girl crush # 289. Oh, and praying that it will not snow as much as everyone thinks it’s going to.

I tried to read the first few pages of House of Leaves and was so confused by the ridiculous formatting that I gave up. One day I will read it and I will understand the hype that this book gets.

I found this website by complete accident while trying to post a blogspot thing…. just listen to the audio. I find the nonsense that’s written out is even better when said in a british accent. Hilarious.
I’m reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight for Brit Lit right now… it really is amusing to me to read about adulterous Arthurian knights in alliterative poetry.
Lo! It was the lady, loveliest to behold, That drew the door behind her deftly and still And was bound for his bed - abashed was the knight, And laid his head low again in likeness of sleep; And she stepped stealthily, and...

I'm in outfit distress.
Did that even make sense? Who knows. I don’t know what to wear tonight… I have too many choices!! Should I go with casual, with dressy, with a little bit cute, with colorful, with black, with brown, with lots of jewelery, with none at all?
I JUST DON’T KNOWWW.
I have to say, I love that my biggest problem in life right now is what to wear. I love this place/my life/my...
