Memory from this year: Ha ha, I don't know... maybe going to see rocky?

You know who I am, why else would you be here!? Ok fine, if you fell into this snake pit, you deserve it. I'm Lauren. I'm me. I'm into lots of stuff (Anti-racism, books, good emo, theatre, etc). I have good/great/spectacular friends. I am 18 as of FEBRUARY 8th! YES THE 8TH! Hmm... not much else to say. I love to work at Wal*Mart (gag) ahhh I love it.

If you find me I'm almost always with Lauren B., Making Mayhem, or with Fred and Justin, Making love. Ha ha. I don't see Jason much anymore but I still care about you, kid, don't fret. Sometimes I hang out with the girls from work (Katy and Karen) and Robyn and Lauren and I hang sometimes. Then other times I find Sarah and Andrew and go catch a movie. Sarah's the awesomest and the best listener. Kriss and I sometimes are found just doing nothing special but being dumb. Jesse and I sometimes plan to go for waffles and then end up talking about Becky. :) Becky keeps me knee deep in the finest of mail. I have the greatest fun and I'm so happy that this is my senior year. I would be so lost without all of my friends to make it great.

So a Hello To all of you in turn...

*Lauren* My little Magenta! WHATS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR BITCH! We've been best friends for 13 years, why stop now. Thank you so much for being a bitch with me, its been awesome. What will we do next year! I will never forget all of the things that were only ours... The smiths, the otter, the evil, and ROCKY!

*Jenn* DAMMIT, JANET! Thanks for being so awesome and letting us crash at your house all of the time. You're my best friend too and I'd never ever want to lose you. Never forget Mackey/Shuler/Dixon/Evans/Boquist (In no such order). You've been the best bud in my classes! FRED!
