It's been many many months since I've last been around. So hell, I'll reintroduce myself.
In the most excited tone I can muster:
Zomg guys I am 21 years old and like from the US which is way unfair cause I'll like never get a chance to see Patrick live and I have to because he is my idol and I am in love with him. I'm learning the violin now and am saving up to buy a ukulele, which I am totally going to cover in glitter. Hey guys I used to totally put on so much glitter all the time and it was so awesome but then I got arrested for disturbing the peace and then my doctor told me I had to quit the glitter because I developed sparklethelioma, which is basically like mesothelioma but caused by glitter instead of asbestos and luckily not deadly.
Well some of that was accurate and I wanted some fun before some dismal stuff.
In reality, hi all. I'm Lauren. There seems to be a lot of newness going on around here (holy crap so many gifs) but glad to see there are still plenty of names I recognize. I am 21, thoroughly a New Jerseyan, and will be taking my very very last semester of my undergrad degree this fall, woo. I sort of dropped off the face of this blog last Sept-Oct. That's because I no longer cared about the internet anymore when my mom, diagnosed with a terminal blood cancer the prior year, could no longer sustain the small bursts of remissions and things got bad and then worse and then awful, etc. But I still didn't expect her to so suddenly pass away in the beginning of March.
Over those months my life fell apart and piece by piece I am working to put it back together and attempt to return to normalcy. So I'm trying to finish work for last semester's classes, to find the focus to undertake a massive research fellowship that will be stealing most of my time this summer, and to get back into normal socializing, both with friends in real life and with neat online people like on the board here.
Yep, I'm glad to be back. =)
