| It takes either a huge amount of boredom or a huge amount of excitement
to get me to turn to posting on Xanga. Today's post has been
motivated by the former. I'm still at work, it's 7:50, a time at
which all normal people are at home, hanging out with friends and
family. I'm in an office at a computer snacking on brocolli and
rice (my dinner) and wishing 8:30 would come. Now don't get me
wrong, I have plenty of work to do... unlike Frank, my dad, and
apparently many people in the corporate world, I actually have work to
do at work - all the time. I spend most of my time planning this
big (well, hopefully big) fundraising event - a benefit art auction and
concert August 16th at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. If you
or anyone you know wants to buy art, let me know and tell them to
come. hahaha now everyone in the greater pittsburgh area is going
to FLOCK to my event - i posted it on my Xanga! right.
Anyway, that's what I'm up to. If you wanna hang out after 9 on
weeknights or any time sat/sun., lemme know... i haven't seen many
people this summer, and its more than halfway through already.
Wow, is that true? more than halfway? guess so...
craziness. Can't wait to go back to school, that's gonna be
awesome. Still enjoying being home though. Work is good, if
crazy at times. Trip to Belize with the fam July 20-30, coming
right around the corner... should be a lot of fun. Alright, guess
i'll do a bit of work before i leave.
P.S. If you are wondering why my Xanga keeps switching crazy
colors and patterns, it is NOT because I have that much time on my
hands. Its because my sister does, and she has deemed herself my
official Xanga decorator. Just fyi.

| Ok, so i know this is out of control, but two posts in one day.
Actually, 3 posts in 2 days... i'm so on top of things/have a lot going
on in my head/have lots of free time all the sudden. All of the
above I guess. I was just going out for a walk a few hours ago,
and decided to stop by at Jamie Tiano's. The lights were on in
her house so i didn't feel bad coming so late, and i'm so glad i
knocked on the door. She was there with Jacob Graham... I hadn't
seen either of them since last summer. We had a really, really
nice catching up/reflecting on freshman year conversation and it made
me happy I had an especially great heart to heart with
Jamie... which was so cool because i hadn't hung out with her nearly as
much as I wanted to in high school, and I'm glad we can still be close
even though we haven't seen each other much at all. It was so
warm and fuzzy to have a great talk with one of my childhood best
friends.... also made it really sad to talk/think about moving....
being able to just walk down the street and see her and my other
friends who I grew up with is so nice... even if i don't do it
much/enough. I need to make a point of doing that before we
move. Anyway, now i'm actually going to bed. Good night
your overly verbose friend,
Lauren

| Wow, I'm home! Absolute craziness. I had a really great day
here... which is a good sign. I'm really going to try to make the
most of this summer... I'm going to be as positive as possible and have
a lot of fun. Please call me if you want to hang out, I'm going
to be around all summer, aside from a few weeks here and there. I
really want to see everyone possible... i've missed hanging out with a
lot of people while home for short breaks, but now there is no
excuse... i've got 3+ months. I went to the school today to talk
to magistra about convention... I'm really psyched... there are going
to be SO many chaperones, we're gonna have so much fun. So at
school i talked to a bunch of teachers - Lattanzio (for quite a while
actually), Carsone, Whelan, etc. Also went to Wallace's AP
History picnic (i know, i'm a dork... what a highschoolish day) cuz
Bobie invited me to come.. nice to see Wallace and hang out with
Bobie. Hung out with my sister today for a while too, that was
nice. I really think things are going well for her now, I'm so
happy for her. It'll be nice to spend time with her this
summer. I think the move is going to be really good for her
too. OH, and I saw Heather at Panera today and met her
boyfriend... that was super exciting! It was so good to see her,
i'm looking forward to hanging out with her soon. I talked to my
best friend at school, Ben, tonight and it was really refreshing to
talk to him. I'm going to miss him and everyone else at school
soo much, but i'm looking forward to keeping in touch with them all
really regularly over the summer, which will keep me super happy.
I haven't even
seen frank yet and its been a great day... this is a good sign. I
think i'm gonna take a walk, cuz it is beauuuutiful out, and I love my
neighborhood... i'm gonna miss it  Well, call me if you wanna
hang - 412-609-1164.
With love and optimism,
Lauren

| Coming home today after packing... holy shit. This is nuts. I am going to miss being at school so, so much... my friends are just awesome, I can't believe I won't see them for another 3 months. I wish pittsburgh wasn't so far away from EVERYTHING. Why do we have to be that the worst possible corner of pennsylvania? If i were just on the other side of the state things would be so much better. I never realized how far we are from the east coast really... we're practically mid-westerners... weird.
Oh well, this summer should be fun. Spending time with Frank will be awesome. Helping my family move won't be... but the place should be nice and it will be mildly exciting. I'm going to Charleston, SC to visit one of my best friends there in a few weeks... its gonna be swwweeeeet! She lives on an island, how cool is that? Also going to Belize with my family, hopefully going to philly/nyc for a weekend to visit some more friends, working at an organization called ACORN doing social justice campaigns.. if it isn't fun at least i should learn a lot. Yeah, this summer will be awesome. | | |
