    <lj:music>Garbage- why do you love me</lj:music>
    <content type="html">hey whats up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know i haven't updated in awhile, but hey, whatelse is new.. this weekend was super good.. friday night Randy and I went to cherry pie ( yes yes, a lesbian club ), but in reality we had a really good time. I made sure he felt comfortable there, because im all about making everyone happy in their surroundings. They played a lot of spanish music and some r+b.. the atmosphere was really nice.. its CLUB o ' Zone, but friday nights its for Lesbians.. and its ages 18-25 id say, mostly femme girls. It was funny because there was a dancer, and she was on the stage.. and people give money and all, and i put a dollar bill in my mouth, and pointed my finger for her to come to me.. and she took it right out of my mouth with her lips! it def looked sexy, as so i was told. &lt;br /&gt;   Randy and I have bonded so much these past 3-4 months. I realized what a true friend he has been to me. I dont like comparing anyone ,because everyone is their own person, has different views/beliefs on different issues, and he just understands me completely, and I am so thankful for that. He is always there, no matter what, with arms wide open. I am really excited to go to Orlando with Randy and his family. &lt;br /&gt;   Saturday night was fun as well. Randy, Dave, Ryan, Andrew, Gina, Christina and Ana came over, we watched a movie. Afterwards, Christina, Randy and I decided to make videos of me being myself, extremely weird, and I have to admit, the VIDEOS are amazing. I never really expected them to be as hilarious as they are.&lt;br /&gt;   Sunday I spent the day with family. We went out at night with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. It was really nice.. I was really happy to be together as a family. I was actually wishing Brian, Kevin and Jenn would have been there, because I would have really felt the bonding experience, but overall, it was great. My dad even wore the pin that came in the card.. and we saw some other dad wearing the same one.. I think as that moment, my dad felt cool, I mean, lol hes always cool! lol. =D &lt;br /&gt;    I am excited about starting Chili's. I think it is going to fit me perfect. I don't want to assume anything, I dont want to expect anything, this way, I'll see how it is, and if anything, I'll be in for a surprise, and who knows, I may be really happy about the change I have made.&lt;br /&gt;    Amanda, is the girl I have been talking to for the past month or so, and she is leaving in a week to go to NY, and I am def going to miss her, But she has to go, and I know she will be back before I can open my eyes. Just taking things day by day with her,trying to understand and have patience :) She's a really special girl!&lt;br /&gt;   I spoke to my brother Brian a little while ago, and I actually felt really good about the conversation. He made me feel accepted for ONCE. I actually got the chills when he began to ask me about Amanda, just the way he asked, like he really did care, he said " so what is she into, what is she like.. " .. I was so speechless for a minute, i was like, wow:) He sang me a new song he has recently wrote about his girlfriend Jennifer( who I really like, but id really like to get to know ). The song is great. I am really happy that they are happy, I want nothing more than to see my little HBB happy.. Afterall, I am his BIGGEST fan! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is doing well, and I'll update on here soon enough, &lt;br /&gt;and thats a promise-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for now, take care.... until next time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lauren Michelle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     T</content>

    <lj:music>Marc Et Claude- Tremble</lj:music>
    <content type="html">WOW, updating on here! this is quite interesting. thank you to my brother for putting up an away message about your journal, and i read it , and i was like, gee, sounds like ill be updating my journal sometime soon.. and here i am.. if he calls me a CC, im so slapping him. lol.. ::slaps:: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, HELLO! ::waves:: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a long 3months or so, since I have updated. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Leaving cheeburger was extremely emotional for me; and I dont think I have been the same since. I worked for Cheeburger for over a year, but to me, It was a lifetime. I knew each and every customer by name, what they ordered, and I made it my life. Everything revolved around the place. I would work over 60 hours, and just stay on my feet, and be as happy as could be. Knowing I could be myself there, was just an ultimate gift. I felt extremely special there, and I can honestly say they LOVED me there, and I was a big loss to the company. My little dream with Cheeburger didn't turn out the way I might have expected it to be, but hey, Everything happens for a reason. We all move on. ::waves to cheeburger::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know Christina and I have been over since August, but we dated on and off Until December; thats when it ended. But I finally let it go this past week. I have been working extremely hard with my therapist on it. It has been 10 days since I have cried/ The only time I spoke to her was to tell her now that im 18, I got my own phone under my own name. It was a kind thing to do. Surprisngly, I didn't break down to her over the phone, or better yet afterwards! I honestly didnt have to put a mask on while talking to her. What a relief. My friend gave me awesome advice, this was what she told me " An Ex is an Ex for a reason ". I truly believe that. I feel peaceful inside, and I want nothing more than to see Christina happy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now working at Empire Pizza Cafe; a Fine dining Italian Resturaunt. I really enjoy working there. Its owned by a jewish family, who are so down to earth. They actually take the time and put forth effort into everything they do in their resturaunt, which makes me really happy. The cooks are happy, they dont question us on " what we need " , busboys, are happy to bus tables, and very they appreciate any extra few bucks we give them;) I am usually really picky about work uniforms; I dislike it. I can say its very masculine. It's a dark gray collard shirt, with black sleeves, and black pants, buy hey, I always make things bright. I wear bright colored bracelets, not rainbow ones! lol. My server book is decorated, so I try to make it " Me " . I felt really good the other day, when I was working, and a group of people came in, and yelled out, whats up cheeburger girl! and they were like, telling me how it isnt the same over there without me. Or how about when I was at the mall with Randy, I ran into my alltime favorite customers, Steven and Brenda. They have never seen me in regular clothes, they were like " Lauren! You look GREAT " . Im like, hm.. with a smile on my face. So I am waitressing, and I am getting into Catering, we'll see how my first night of that goes on Friday night. 86 people, for a graduation party. I love the people I work with. Jennie entertains the place; especially me. I think the move I have recently made, was for the better. I have moved up in my field- what I am really good doing, and most important, what I enjoy doing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My 18th birthday was awesome:) I sent an email out with pictures and little comments, so I wont really ramble on about it, All i can say is Thanks for making my day, great:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keeping busy is most likely the best thing I am doing right now. Working, but not overworking. Going out with friends; meeting people. Going out to new places, seeing new things. Dating has been hard for me the past few months, It gets easier and easier as each day goes by. I have met a few girls, I am just feeling them out, and seeing who is out there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a cute little story:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a year ago, I was at dennys with little kevin*, and these 4 lesbians walk in, and one girl and I had eye contact hardcore.. and we didnt say anything. I left the resturaunt, and said to kevin, she was soo cute! lol. so randomly the next day, I was in a lesbian chatroom, and I get an IM saying " Were u in dennys last night " , i was like yes! lol. it happened to be her.. She always asked me to go visit her at her work, I always brushed it aside for some odd reason. Probably because I was scared to get to know someone new. So the other day, Randys over.. and were on the comp hangin out,and she randomly IMed me out of nowhere, keep in mind I havent spoken to her in a good 3-4months, and we were havin small talk, she invited randy and I in her resturaunt for dinner. We decided to go, and wow. did she look cute;) So anyhow, I have a date with her on sunday, heres the little scoop I know so far. Shes 22, her family owns the disalvos on 441 between sheriden and taft. shes a manager there, works 40-50 hours a week. Doesnt do drugs,smoke or drink. family oriented, openly gay, and we have a few important things in common, carebears! lol:P thats just as important as the headlines in the paper about Star Wars, and American Idol. I wont even go into that, I'll start having a debate with myself. Society amazes me, The world is in Denial about things that go on. Nothing tends to amaze me anymore these days. So Her name is Dena, and she is very outgoing like me;) a little description, shes 5'2-love the shortness!, brown hair,(short spiked) brown eyes,style: a little hollister boy! LOVE IT. shes talks feminine. and comes across that way, but her style is quite cute, not punkish, not girlie, just very cute.im all about smile. teeth are a very important thing on a person. she does have a cute smile, that makes me smile, and feel little butterflies inside.hehe* we shall see how sunday night goes, and even thought I wanted to take her out, she insisted in on taking me... i feel like a girl. lol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have made a little change. Ready? I am going to go to BCC, so I can atleast be proud of myself for doing something useful, and hay if it isnt for me, than I'll know in my heart, it wasnt for me. I will start off and take two classes; and work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents and I have been getting along, and It feels very healthy. My brother kevin called up the house the other day, and I felt really good after we hung up, I looked at the time, and yes folks, it was a normal 10 minute conversation, not a Hiiiiii... wheres mom.... Byeee. " I felt so good. ::claps::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like everything is falling into place:P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good week to look forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working all day/night tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Friday- day-cleaning car/room/ @night catering&lt;br /&gt;Saturday- working during the day; and going out with Mama,Papa, Mommy,Daddy and Uncle rand for My parents 25th ann. I am really happy to spend time with them. It's very rare we are all free. &lt;br /&gt;Sunday- I am working during the day, and my date with Dena is that night. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom asked me a very interesting question the other day, she asked me how many times I thought I looked in the mirror each day.. I said about 30- lol..  Girls are Girls! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gay Prom is on June 4th~ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I am starting to believe in myself, and really believe everythign happens for a reason. For whatever reason is, that I had gotton off track, I am slowly pushing myself back on. Once your down, It can ONLY get better, right? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quote that is so true:&lt;br /&gt; " You cant buy a ticket for a train that has already left. Miles away."     That is so true, it makes me think I cant go back with Christina, because its already gone. In reality, If I get back with her in a year, It wont be the old Christina and Lauren it used to be. It will be two new people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another quote I enjoy thinking about&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Dance like theres nobody watching, sing like theres nobody listening, love like you'll never get hurt, live like theres heaven on earth " &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went shopping at Dillards the other day. I found out what an expense it is shopping there, for certain name brands. I am trying to improve my style, into an older, more sophisticated, girl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to start writing in here more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for now, Goodnight. xoxo Love, Lauren</content>

    <content type="html">I'm Gay, yes gay. That's right I said it. I'm not afraid of it. You can't "change" me or "turn me back", it doesn't work that way. It's not a disease, if you're around me, you won't catch it. Don't stare at me like I belong in a cage. Not "fashionably" gay either. Thanks.</content>

I  am looking for a girl with an amazing personality.. &lt;br /&gt;Melanie is 22, and works for dennys, she just recently got promoted for Management, so thats good. She's worked there for over 5years. She goes to school for English Literature.

    <lj:music>Avril Lavigne- Fall to peices</lj:music>
    <content type="html">hey there, &lt;br /&gt;wow.. everything is falling into place...&lt;br /&gt;as i sing the song &lt;br /&gt;" I dont wanna fall to peices, i just wanna sit and stare at YOUUUUUUUU! " - Avril Lavigne..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WOW! so yesterday was my day off, and i figured why not make something memorable out of it.. ::thinks to self :: &lt;br /&gt;ok, im going to tampa.. so i briefly search my buddy list to see whose online and would b willing to take a little adventure, as im rushing to get on Map Quest for directions- Planning to leave in the next 30min to get there by the time my girlfriend gets off work to surprise her..since im so called the not so romantic type nemore, yet i wrote her a song, ive written her poems, rose pedals on the bed, with rose pedals spelled out " I LOVE YOU " with her favorite candy scattered on the bed- i made her a 22nd surprise bday party, i spoil her like crazy, tell her how i feel and make her feel so special-! (Yeah I have hurt her in the past..but after i tell you this, You may understand why) &lt;br /&gt;About One year ago, I was single, and i just wanted to meet someone, guy/girl, someone that can accept me for who i am, what i like, and my views on life- not looking for anything serious Christina ( My girlfriend ) decided to drop me an IM.. meanwhile..it all began there, i FELL HEAD OVER HEALS FOR THIS GIRL. thats when i pretty much knew, okay, its time to come out since i am going to be dating a girl, why hide.. Yes yes, I had my insecurities, how my family, friends, co- workers, aquaintences, etc would handle it.. As most of my close friends know, I was never really into Clubs, Bars, going out all that much.. Until I began to realize I needed to meet more people like me ( im not saying im not normal, just needed people that would understand me better ).. and know exactly where im coming from... So i came out slowly, but in a confid ent way. I started holding her hand ONLY on south beach, cause I knew it was accepted.. than we began to go to a Local Bar " cathode ray " where i knew there were gay men, and woman there, which there we met a bunch of great people to socialize with. We started going to Gay Events, GSA things, Proms, etc- ( Now my best friend Kevin is the president of GSA YAY!! ) this year is going to rock on:) So than i started gradually going to places i used to go, and lightly hold her hand there, all i could possibly think and say to her was " whose watching, what are they saying, shit i know him, i cant do this, and began getting frusturated..as she would always pull me aside and say baby, ( as her hand is resting on my heart ) she said " BABY, whats your HEART telling u to do... I stepped back,  thought a minute, and we went along the strip on south beach walking-/talking etc.. So when i came out to my family, it actually was easy.. they kind of already figured something was up, when I was 15 years old I would check out girls, and tell my mom I was interested in kissing girls.. Who knows what ran through her mind-- When I was 15 I started obsessing over girls, because i wanted to be close with them- Carol Shanefeld,Hannah, Lauren Frank,Elaina,Jessica,Diana ( in vero ) Lauren Walleser.. I was nuts. I always wanted to be near them, talk to them, hold them arm and arm " like friends do "in the mall, yet i would get that feeling like " i want more " So than I realized, I am not accomplishing anything by obsessing over a straight girl... THEDILLY.COM comes in handy, its a striaght/bi,gay website, and I put that i was Bisexual on it, and see what responses Id recieve..  So back to Christina and I.. After about 2months of us dating, I was pretty much Out.. Now some of my friends either A. Havent came out yet,   or B. Have, but there parents took it horribly, and cried for months, even years " . My parents are the type to accept anything, and want me to be happy. They dont like the fact that I flaunt it, but in reality, I'd like for people to know Who i am, and that im Proud. I dont do anything for attention, and soon some of you will realize that, I feel so relieved. I feel for a few years now Ive been bottled up, which has caused a lot of my problems with friends, and insecurities, and reasons for me being angry. Everyone has their issues, dont get me wrong, but im not using it as an excuse, just saying what I feel. Meanwhile, While I dated christina, After a month, I randomly not meaning to met a guy, who I strongly dislike talking about because it was a huge mistake, and I convinced her to allow me see him too. My feelings for him werent the feelings I had with her, I felt very, I cant descirbe it. Maybe cause he was much older than me, and in a sense watched over me, it was weird.. I dealt with him for 3months- BIG MISTAKE... caused a lot of emotional problems for Christina and I. Now her and I are back on track, I surprised her yesterday at her work, I havent seen her in 2months, and It was absoloutly amazing, I felt that i fell in love with her all over again, the minute she hugged me, i skipped a heart beat, my arms were overwhelmed with her soft arms, that gave me goosebumps-! She got off work early, and we Went to Bennigans ( Her favorite resturaunt ) I love making her happy. She took me to a Bar she went to on her 21st bday and  we played pool... Shes such a cute girlfriend, she went to the jukebox and played " Just wanna be with you- Enrique Inglesias - and than Simple Plan- Id do anything.... She is soo cute:P whats even cuter was, when she would miss a shot, id reward her with kisses. I am so in love with her. and I think her moving back to Tampa was a great move. Not only did I realize, but she did to, how much better things are, and how we are going to have a healthy relationship, full of trust, laughter, and LOVE. I love with all my heart, now its my time to really prove things to her. &lt;br /&gt;I have faith in us&lt;br /&gt;I have the confidence, in me&lt;br /&gt;I love her&lt;br /&gt;I love me&lt;br /&gt;thats all that it takes in a relationship&lt;br /&gt;I am feeling so good right now, I'm at a very high point right now, and I am going to make it stay there-&lt;br /&gt;Take care, those are my thoughts on christina</content>

Anyhow, I am signing off, its 1:15 in the morning, Gotta go!&lt;br /&gt;Have a great night! Talk to you all later&lt;br /&gt;Love, Lauren :)</content>
