SCARE! - Lauren

This will be my third year helping out with the Volunteer Haunted house Scare for a Cure, And I couldn't be more happy with it. I love scare, the people are amazing, you get to go out, have fun, meet great people and scare the daylights out of people all benefiting the Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas. It's just awesome.

I went to the Volunteer Kickoff Party today with Nilsa and was shortly thereafter joined by Rowan, and Ooooold friend of mine, and We listened to Jarrett talk about the organization, there was a lot of applauding, all the managers came up and spoke, it was cool. Dad complains about having EVERYONE nonessential go up and speak, but I think it was nice he recognizes everyone.

This year should be amazing, H1Z1 Zombie wasteland!
I'll be working at the outpost, theoretically with Nilsa. the outpost is where people wait instead of waiting in line. Can't wait, should be awesome. XD

Tell your friends! Scare for a Cure Haunted house in Austin!
Great fun for a great cause!
Come volunteer!

Life, For now - Lauren

So on Monday I went to Highland mall with Nilsa and Francesca, it was supposed to be a reunion of camp people... But the boys never showed up, so it was a girl's reunion. It was a lot of fun, a bit strange in the conversation flow, we would go from high pitched obnoxious laughter that chased everyone away from our awesomeness, to really deep important conversations. And it would fluctuate like that all day. P= The girls made me get my first casual dress since I was little (purplish pink and blackins gray tye-dye with a waistband in the middle - sale 7 bucks. XD), and my first pair of skinny jeans (white with gray kinda zebra stripes, but not really, and carefully planned rips - sale for 10 bucks lol.) I liked them both, but they insisted. XD Nilsa even said about the pants when I had tried them on with another shirt that the reason I hadn't gotten a date yet was because I didn't have that outfit. XD I didn't get the shirt, I firmly believe I need to be skinnier before I wear something that tight. =X but it was a fun day. Then instead of the movie we had planned on we retired to Nilsa's house, and we watched Ponyo which is an adorable movie. Then we were sad cuz Francesca went home, and she's moving to florida in a couple of days, and it's sad. Y-Y I ended up spending the night cuz by the time i got ahold of my dad it was late and he didn't want to get me, so I slept over and we had a strange semi-photoshoot cuz we felt like it. That was my first sleepover with Nilsa, and my first this summer. XD It was really fun, I had a great time.

Do you know that feeling where you know bad things happen in the world. They exist, you read stories about them. But... Until it happens to someone you know it never really sinks in how awful they are. I was in a weird mood all day yesterday because it was sinking in. Now nothing actually happened to my friend, but almost, and it's pretty damn scary to think about.

And now my dad just found a bag of my mothers makeup, (he asked me to take what I wanted and throw the rest away) and is clearly going to be in a weird mood all day and I still haven't gotten up the guts to increase his stress level even higher and tell him i found out my brother's sneaking out at night to go see his secret girlfriend... What am I to do..? =(
