Pieces of the Sun - Test Your Reflex |

Hey everyone,
Tara told me to update so here I am, lol. I neglect this thing soo bad, I really should post in it more so every entry won't be a novel. But hey, I never did get the diary thing down as a kid and that didn't change as I got older, so I guess it's something I should have expected, hehe.
Anyway, life is pretty good right now. The first month of summer has been really busy, busier than I think the school year even was. I work at the Doggie Shop now, it's a cute little dog grooming shop in town. I love it sooo much, it's gotta be the coolest job ever for me. I love making the dogs all pretty and cute, and getting to see all different kinds coming in. It's really busy in there, we get at least 30 dogs a day no matter what day of the week, but it keeps it interesting. Not to mention she's giving me a lot of hours, my friends have all had trouble getting more than 3 - 4 hours a day with their jobs, but I hardly ever work less than 6 or 7. The shop doesn't open on Sundays or Mondays (the owner's husband has chemo on Mondays, he's sooo nice and it's so sad that they can't do more for him at this point :( ) so it's nice to have that extra day off on the Mondays, otherwise I'm pretty much working every day. When I'm not working I'm taking care of the bunnies, hanging out with Greg, or sleeping, so my life is busy yet very predictable at the moment, lol. I've had tons of open houses to go to (and I have mine this weekend, so I've been totally stressing - I've got almost all the photo boards done though and the slideshow is almost done as well, so I figure I can relax a little bit now). Also lots of college stuff going on - I had my orientation for GVSU and I need to get a portfolio done to get into the art department, which looks really cool. Oh and my parents are getting me a MacBook as a graduation present for college - I'm sooo excited! I needed a laptop for college in general and a Mac for the graphic arts part of college, so it'll work out good. My Dad said we can get it early too so I can play around with it and get used to a Mac vs. the PC, so I'll get to have my own computer for most of the summer - I'm totally stoked! :D
Umm let's see what else...I graduated...talk about a bittersweet moment there! I didn't cry though, though sometimes when I think about it I can feel it coming on, lol...I guess it's something you've got to get used to. I'm totally excited for college, just a little sad to leave the life I have now. It'll be good, it's just that whole mixed emotions thing, ya know?
Me and Greg are still together and doing great...it's been almost 7 months now that we've been together. It's amazing how quickly he went from being someone I didn't know at all to being my best friend. We see each other every day, sometimes a couple times a day...I'm sure some other people would call that clingy (lol) but it works for us. Just about anything I could do alone I can also do with him, except it's just that much more fun when you have a friend who is always there for you no matter what. It's such an amazing feeling to be truly loved. I've got him so well trained now too - haha. He knows how to take care of my bunnies better than anyone else because hes out there helping me with them almost every day. He really likes the bunnies too, it's so darn cute to see a 6 foot tall guy baby talking and petting little fluffy bunnies, lol.
The bunnies are doing good...it's been a lot better since I have less now, they are a little more spoiled than they normally would be and with the summer here they are really loving getting to run around the yard without the snow. As soon as all this open house stuff is over I'm going to build a bunny run, I was planning it out earlier this summer but then it got kinda busy and I haven't had a chance to finish it up. They run around the yard just fine, and I usually have one running around the bunny barn when I'm taking care of the rest of the bunnies, but I'd like to be able to leave 2 or 3 of them outside to get their zoomies out while I'm taking care of the other bunnies, and not worry about watching them every second (I'm going to put a wire top and wide spaced wire bottom on it so they can still eat the grass but can't dig out). It'll be cool, I'll post a pic when I'm done.
And of course the picture dump since I haven't posted here in forever:
( Picshahs!! )
Okay thats all from me! Hope you're all doing well!

NO MORE AP BIO...EVERRRR.
*happy dance*
No more Econ either...eee this makes me all giddy. lol But seriously, next semesters classes are gonna rock (I hope). I have Mr. Harvey for the first 2 hours of the day, and he's awesome.
I'm so sick of exams...but I've got 4 down and 2 more to go...Psych and Trig tommorow, shouldn't be *too* bad (knock on wood).
I got some cuuute pics today of all the baby bunnies (well most of them) They're are so freaking adorable. I got some neat colors this time around too, blues and broken blues, opal, chestnut, lots of orange and broken orange, broken fawn (eee) and of course the required torts and broken torts. lol. Oh and I got two REWS! Eeee! I love REWs so much, took forever to get some REWs of my own but I hope they turn out cute!
Greg and I watched Donnie Darko (again) tonight...that movie is so funny, but it confuses the shit out of me. lol. I actually stayed up for most of it, too. :P
I gotta catch up on my sleep, night all!

Sooo I guess I should update this thingy once in a while lol. I always feel like I've got too much to talk about and not enough time to type it all up so I end up skipping it all together, and then when I go this long it's like - dang everyones gonna be confused by my updates cause I haven't posted anything since August...lol.
Anyway this week is exam week...fun stuff. Not really looking foward to it. =( Besides looking foward to it being over and getting some new classes. I'm getting out of AP Bio (again haha...I'm such a loser) and most of my classes are moving around or changing. I'm definitely getting out of World Lit with Mrs. Young, that class is just gonna suck...if I would have known what an umm...interesting....teacher she was, I wouldn't have even taken Expos, seeing as I learned appx. 0 things this semester in that class. "Great for college essays" my ass lol.
Soo...life otherwise has been pretty good. It's nice to be back in Corunna, still miss the fam a ton though. =( I just feel so much more comfortable here though. At least my parents are talking about possibly moving back again...I hope they do, I really do. It would be so nice to have everyone all together again. Christmas at home was really nice, it was just like it had always been....just me and my family, lazing around and doing a whole lot of nothing.
Me and Greg ("new" boyfriend for those who haven't talked to me in a while) are doing great. He's such a sweetheart...our "one month" was on the 6th, so here's to many more months together. I love this kid to death, I really do. I don't think I've ever felt this comfortable around a guy, ever...and it's been like that from the start. It just seems right. I love seeing him every day, it's nice to have someone that really really cares about me outside my family and close friends. We watched Walk the Line tonight, which was pretty good...I love Johnny Cash. Kindof a sad movie though. :( Especially the beginning. I fell asleep through part of it, again...what else is new lol. He always lets me sleep though, he says I'm really cute when I'm sleeping LOL. So I guess it works out for both of us.
Bunnyfront...yesterday would have been Bambi's 2nd birthday. I miss that rabbit so much. :'( and Blondi too. It's just not fair that they both left me so early, they were both so young and they both meant the world to me. It was so unbelievably hard to go back at Christmas and see their empty cage and know that summer was the last time I ever saw them and ever would see them. I wish I could have made our last time together more special....I wish I would have known. I just miss them both so much. It was like losing 2 very special family members to me. It just hurts...a lot. I miss him so much. Happy birthday baby boy, I wish you were here. :'(
The other bunnies are doing pretty good, now at least. Had a scare a couple weeks ago, but everyone seems to be doing better now (knock on wood) Don't really want to get into it...:(
Hope everyone is doing well, I'll try to be better about keeping this updated lol.
Lata foos.

I had an amaaazing time at my family's last week and will def. post pictures, I got some great ones haha.
aaand i had a rabbit show yesterday which was sweet but i missed shelly's sr pics. i couldn't get a ride. :( and the car that i would trust to go to livonia is unfortunately 6 hrs away. grrrr.
yeah so I should be going to bed seeing as its almost midnight and I have school tommorow, but whatever. sleep is for suckers!

It's the end of the world, for Lauren is seventeen. :D Bwahahahaha.
Anyway sorry my last entry was so emo haha. I don't "do" change very well and it was kinda hard to adjust, but I finally feel like I'm settling in a bit...got my bed today, maybe that helped lol. Ally settled down a bit and everyone seems pretty happy. I still miss my parents and family a lot, don't get me wrong - I hope it's getting easier for them too, though.
I've been gone for the past few days, my aunt and uncle had regionals for their horseythings in Indianapolis. It was fun but I'm all horsed-out now lol. Though I do want to start riding again. Oh and bunny people - if you thought rabbit show politics and drama was bad - try an Arabian horse show. It'll give you a whoooole new perspective, lol.
I've been seeing Em a lot lately since she babysits my cousin, and Julia too of course...but I haven't even seen anyone else! The timing was really bad, because I had to leave for IN a couple days after I got here, and right when I got back everyone was leaving for their 4th of July vacation type deals and Alicia is at soccer camp. Everyone has left already or is leaving like tommorow. Bummers! Guess who gets to watch all their pets though? lol
I guess Andrea and Alicia had a fallout at her bonfire thing which I missed (apparantly I missed a lot) and Scott like went psycho on Andrea. wtf?! cool! Drama, my fav! lol yep, I'm back home again. The family is coming up Thursday and I seriously cannot wait. I miss them so much, it feels like it's been so much longer than it really has been. I can't wait to see them again.
Eh I felt all motivated to update this and now I'm like blah. Maybe its because its 1:30 AM. That could be it. lol
Umm...bunnies are doing good, me and Kyle are thinking about doubling up since she needs space and I have more space than I'd ever need, have a few of her brood does over here and split the litters or something. We'll see! We still have to work some stuff out. Next show is Coldwater, July 8 - and the fate of my Fancy Pen for fair depends on wether Sherry comes or not lol! I only have 2 that will be the right age, I need one more! She has a couple babies that are the right age so I'm hoping she'll show up and let me buy or borrow one so I can show the little bunz in a Fancy Pen. My next litters are due July 6 or 7, Kula is definitely pregnant but I don't think Dint is. She's really small though, so I'll wait it out just in case. I need to figure out my fair entries! AHHH. Fair my love!
Hope everyones doing well. ;D

Well, I'm alive...
The past few days have been so crazy, I'm just kinda lost. I've been really busy the past few days and this is the first day where I didn't have a ton of stuff to do. I miss my family more than I can even explain...and my Mom seems to be taking this not so well and I feel awful and selfish for going. I just don't know what the right choice was or is or whatever...or even if there is a right. I really have no idea.
Saying goodbye to my Mom at the halfway point was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life and I miss her so much already. Everything has just been building up this past week and I can't shake these feelings of "this is the last time I'm going to sleep in my bed, what if this is the last time I sit and watch TV with my parents, this is the last time I will swim in our pool with my sisters...I hate those feelings.
My Aunt and Uncle have been really nice and trying to make me feel as home as possible, but it's still kinda akward even though I've been over here so many times before. I just don't want to be an annoyance to them ro anything like that...and I don't want to be mean to Ally because I know she's really excited that I'm here and excited to have a "buddy" to hang around with while her parents are at work, but I really kinda need some alone time right now to just think and accept that this is how it is going to be for a while. I need some time to just sit in the barn with my bunnies and try NOT to think, without having to entertain Ally. Things will get easier once all of us get used to this and it's not so much like a long vacation. I hope my Mom is gonna be okay. :(
Shelly came up today which was awesome, except she got lost and I am crap at giving directions, lol. I think I sent her the wrong way a few times too many. She got here eventually though so it's all good. There isn't much to do in Owosso but we ate spaghettios, sunbathed in the shade in front of Tim Hortons for like half an hour, and walked around and looked at all the weird little shops that I never really knew existed or payed much attention to. Crazy stuff huh.
Then my family is coming up in a week and a half...hopefully there will be some good news when my Dad talks to some of my Grandpa's friends about the whole business thing. I hope hope hope...I miss my family so much already and I can't wait for them to come up. Just makes me sad to think that it'll be a while after that until they come up again. :'( Me and Andrea will be celebrating our bday together though, I think. That's what we planned earlier anyway. Crap, I need to get Andrea something. And I'm kinda broke now after that rabbit show. Okay, I'm totally broke. And she is so hard to buy for...cause she has everything already. Dangit.
I kinda miss T-LAP. And everyone is so busy or just seems...unenthusiastic I guess. Everyone was all excited that I was coming back and now they all sound busy and...not caring so much?...well I saw Emily and Julia today cause Emily had to babysit Ally and Julia came along so she could come see the new bunnies and the baby bunnies and everything. Andrea has swim camp, some karate thing and 2 jobs so she's really busy, Alicia sounded like she was free but seemed kinda...eh I dunno. Jolene has to babysit like everyday. I just want to say hi to everyone and not go the whole summer without us seeing each other, you know? Eh I suppose we'll get together soon...and I really have to see my cuz soon. We're supposed to have a 4-H thing tommorow so we can get our entries in for fair but doesn't sound like it's going to happen? I need to get my entries done like SOON because the deadline is coming up fast and we're going to be on a lot of trip type deals. Oy.
Wednesday night/Thursday morning through Sunday night my aunt and uncle are going to regionals (horse show) in Indianapolis...the hotel sounds pretty sweet. I just hope the barn people don't forget about my poor rabbits! Then after the Coldwater show in July I'll be heading to Silver Lake with Michelle...oy now that I think about it it's gonna be pretty busy from the week of me and Andrea's birthdays on after...until about mid July. Dang. I was just going to complain that I have nothing to do in the middle of the day when Allys at art camp and my aunt and uncle are at work...even lazing around is kinda akward. But I guess i should enjoy it while I can. It's kinda hard to have the alone time I need so bad right now because my bed hasn't came in yet, I have a room but it's rather empty right now....my bed = the couch. Ally follows me to the rabbit barn cause she likes the bunnies lol but that used to be my chill out spot!! Where I could just kinda relax and people wouldn't bug me...yea I'm antisocial (not all the time....just when I need to think cause I guess I can't multitask? lol)
Dude this is long. I'm scared that the computer is going to freeze if I keep going but whatever, I think this autosaves anyway. So, bunny ramble from the Charlotte show (well mostly just new-bunny ramble, I'm too tired to talk about everything that happened but it was pretty fun.
( Bunny rambling ahead! )
I need a job. OMG do I need a job.

So I'm moving tommorow...wow. :( I can't believe it came up that quickly. I am really excited for a lot of the stuff I will be going back to, but leaving my parents is going to be sooo hard. I just feel like I'm taking my friends and my rabbits over my family...which I know deep down isn't true, because I simply CANNOT move in the middle of my senior year again, unless I don't want to graduate. I also don't want to get my college all set here and then have my family move back without me...because then I'll be stuck here with no relatives or family. School is the big reason why I'm going, because I could have gone back a long time ago if I wanted to just be with my friends, but I didn't because at the time my parents didn't think we'd be moving back. Now they know they are, they just don't know WHEN...and I hate not knowing and not having a plan. I just don't want to make a big mistake that I'm going to regret either way.
And even though I didn't think I would EVER miss anyone here...there are some people I'm definitely going to be sad to leave. Michelle especially, you really have made this year so much easier and I really appreciate it. I hope everything goes well for you your senior year...and don't think you've gotten rid of me because I'm gonna be in Michigan. ;) I'm still going to harass you over AIM. mwahaha
Anyway, depression rant over with...there are some things I'm really excited about which I need to keep thinking about so I don't depress myself. This summer is going to be pretty amazing I'm thinking. The Charlotte night show is the day after I come back, so I'm definitely going to that.
( Massive bunny rambling behind the cut )
After the bunny show (or before if I can get my stuff all unpacked and the rabbits set up in time) I'm gonna see mis amigas pequenas! I'm sooo excited. Me and Andrea are going to have our birthday together the week my parents come back. JUNE 28 ALL, I EXPECT PRESSIES!! lol. Kidding kidding, just ship some bunnies out my way and I'll be good. Or cages. OMG I need cages haha. So we're definitely going to be making up for lost time the next couple of weeks.
Then on Monday (well I still have to ask but haha) SHELLY IS COMING! I haven't seen her for like 2 years!! It's so sad but hey we are going to have an amazing time. I don't know what we're gonna do (cause its Owosso lol) but we'll find something!! And then umm I forget the date but I'm going to go over and stay at her house and then we're going to do SENIOR PICTURES!! With this like amazing photographer person she found. They do like the ipod pics and stuff, haha. It's gonna be awesome. And then we're going to Silver Lake in July which is going to be even more awesome. I can't wait to see my bestest buddy again!!!
And my COUSIN!! OMG we don't have a date set up yet but I need to see her again! I miss you sooo much Sierra! Hey we need to go to the place with the awesome breadsticks cause I never got to experience the awesomeness because it was closed, lol!
Okay I have a bunch of other crap planned but this is super long as it is, so I am going to finish with BABYBUNNYPICTURES. Omg cuteness.
( Baaaaaaaaby bunnies! )
Okay I'm REALLY done now!! :D

I spose I should update thingy with the thrilling details of my life huh.
Wow I just sat there for like 5 minutes trying to think of something exciting to put there. Just shows you how ~*thrilling*~ my life is. :D
Anyway, I keep feeling like I have school tommorow and it irritates me and yet makes me so happy. Cause I love when I think I have to do something I don't want to do and then I remember I don't actually have to. Yeah, I'm weird like that.
Oh and my Dad is FORTY today. Hahaha he's oooold. (Anyone that knows my Dad will see the irony in this as my Dad is a total kid at heart) and cuz is 17! Yay for birthdays. We "celebrated" by going to get ice cream at the-ice-cream-place-with-the-clowns-on-the-side which turned out to be better than Dairy Queen. And we tried to get my dumb hydrophobic Golden Retriever to learn how to swim. Seriously, he's scared of water. There is something wrong with him - aren't they supposed to be all YAY WATER!!!!!!!!1111 when they see it? Why are all my pets dysfunctional?
I totally can't wait for summer. I have it all planned out, it's gonna be good. :D But I'll definitely save that for a different "LJ ENTRY!!!!" because I have nothing interesting to put in here.
I hate to end my little entry on a bad note but EVERYTHING IS DYING OMG. Emily's Grandpa died last week, the day of his funeral their 11 year old dog Lucky died which is TOTALLY not fair because he was my favorite ever. ;_; and then their Californian doe and her litter all died from the heat. ROSIE. :(((( And then the Mullins from OH both died in a car accident a few days ago leaving their daughter with no parents. It makes me sad.
Happy note - my bunny had her bebees a few days ago. They are sooo cute! And the broken tort baby looks like someone dipped his ears in white paint, just the tips are white. ooomggg its so cute. </bunnyrambling>I'll post pics when I un-lazy myself =)
