There's not much left that I need.

Homecoming this weekend couldn't have been more perfect, and it was even better than I expected. I had an awesome date, and our group had a toooonnnnn of fun. Not to mention, the rest of the weekend was really great too :)

Okay so I know everyone is getting bored with all the happy fluffy mushy stuff I'm saying but hey this is my blog and I can say what I want! Haha oh dear.

I AM SO HAPPY. So so so so happy. Today in my journal I took up an entire page saying "I'm so happy." over and over and over again... I was like what the heck, am I seriously going crazy? But I guess this is a good kind of crazy, right? Well, I don't know. I'm stressed but still incredibly happy so I think it's good.

I mean, I have so many things to be grateful for. SO many things. And not to mention so many people in my life are absolutely incredibly phenomenal all over the world. You guys... I am so freaking lucky.

I know the best people on the Earth, seriously. Cream of the crop right here.

Oh I might be going to fun.'s concert Friday night. WOOOH.

ABCD.

Well, do I have a story for you. Sarah, Julia and I were dress shopping, and as they were helping me put something on hold, one of the workers told us that if we had a bra fitting it would automatically donate 2 dollars to a breast cancer fund. So, of course we did it.

It was quite the uhh... urmm... ehhh... experience.

We all did it in one changing room together and the lady that was helping us was most definitely a character, let's just say that. I told her that her ring was pretty, and she told us she had been divorced for 20 years but she wasn't just going to let the ring sit in her drawer by itself. Then once we had all been fitted, she kept on being crazy and suggesting we buy certain things.

We all laughed so, so hard. SO HARD.

Never will I ever go back there.

Homecoming. Saturday. Am I excited?

I can't even begin to tell you how much.

YEAH.

Well, as I'm typing, life is pretty dang good. I love it. So many things are going my way, and I think it's an appropriate time to just say I AM SO GRATEFUL. For everything, everyone, and every aspect of my life. Yes, I do complain about stupid things like not being able to find a homecoming dress or how much I hate Pre-Calculus, but I absolutely positively love life. Love love love love love it and a lot of people in it. :)

Life is ridiculously good.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...

Well, one of the best concerts of my life was Tuesday night. Holy. COW. Because I work for a modeling agency and I scout at different events, I got free tickets to B.O.B./Far East Movement (Plus Baby Bash and some other people). It. was. INCREDIBLE. So I was trying to get through the crowd, and security thought I was a photographer so they pulled me to the front in the very center. I almost died and went to heaven, for real. AHHHHH! I was yelling and screaming my head off. And the picture above are a couple ones that I took. Looove myyy lifeeee.

D'habitude, il fait plus beau. C'est magnifique.

Yeah... that's where I used to live. I know, it's gorgeous.

I haven't been blogging it up that much just because I write in my journal every day, then there's 2T2C (http://www.twoteenstwocontinents.blogspot.com/) and flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauren-dautel). Too much to update, silly technology.

Anyhoozle, I can't wait for TREK. I got so excited today for it, and it's all the way in March. But dude, it is going to be the most intense experience of my life. People that have told me about it say that it was the hardest thing they've ever done but it was the best experience they've ever had. And that says a lot right there. But I think it'll be absolutely positively amazing.

Gosh you guys, I want to move to Singapore so badly! Or China. Or both. That works too.

Skip to the ending.

I love this dress. Obviously it is more of a prom dress as opposed to homecoming but WOAH. Laaaaav it!

Okay. I hate to be a debbie downer but DUDE I gotta vent. Homecoming is absolutely positively stupid. I cannot stand it right now. I am on date fail #4 and I feel like the most pathetic person on the whole, entire planet. I mean it's not like it's my fault that they can't make it but it just makes me sad because all of the ones I've had dates with so far would be fun, it just never worked out. I've just been stressing so much over getting my friends dates and it's just kind of hard, you know?

Anyhooter, I love skyping with people. In the past like 15 hours I've skyped with 4 of my really really close friends and it made me feel like I was with them, just like old times. It was super fun, and I'm so grateful for technology because it makes everything so much more convenient. Wahey!

OH SNAP GUYS. I want to learn to play the guitar so dang bad. Fo' real. I need to stop saying 'fo' real'. Seriously though, its become a legit part of my vocabulary and that freaks me out. HEY- I went shopping for homecoming dresses yesterday. I think I found the one. I'll put a picture up if I actually get it! :)
