The Zoo.

You know that feeling you got when you went to the Zoo for the very first time when you were a kid? The feeling that this is the greatest moment of my entire life! Well I have a confession to make, i'm 15 1/2 & I still get that feeling when I go to the Zoo. Me & my bff Odom, went to the Zoo yesterday and had a blast! Lions, Tigers, Bears...Oh Yessss! I saw a snake eat a rat! which honestly isn't something i should be excited about, but it was an experience. I smelt animal smells that I never want to smell again. & my favorite part was when I came face to face with a Polar Bear through a sniffing slot! Even though the new baby elephant isn't with us anymore. tear. we saw her mommy & she looked good. (this is what happened to our baby elephant.) Odom's favorite part was probably the monkeys...haha...we stood there for about an hour making our monkey noises at them. tehe. till next time....

Woah Baby.

So my latest & greatest obsession is UFC. & pretty much the greatest thing in UFC is the knock-outs. So when I got on Yahoo! this morning & saw this article I knew I just had to blog about it! Fighter Todd Duffee set a new UFC record when he knocked out Tim Hague in SEVEN SECONDS! (& all I'm thinking is holy crap that's fast!) But thing real thing is that Duffee is saying it was six seconds not seven. really? who cares 6 or 7 it's still really fast!  & either way you still beat the standing record.

The Article.

I Heart Twitter.

I love Twitter. <3 & all the great things that come with it, but today I found my most favorite part. The Over Capacity Picture! It's all these little birdies carrying this huge whale over some water.  just another reason why I love it so much.

Yesterday. :(

Yesterday was a sad day for me.
I found out that Cash Colligan & Ian Crawford are no longer in The Cab.
Cash is getting a fresh start, he's moving out of Las Vegas, according to his Twitter page. Ian is now a touring member of Panic! @ the Disco, because PANIC! @ THE DISCO SPLIT IN HALF! Brendan Urie & Spencer Smith are holding fort @ panic! while Ryan Ross & Jon Walker are starting their new project called The Young Veins.
I loved both of the bands. :'( but I guess I have no choice but to support their decisions & get over it. I will continue to follow all of these guys no matter what. ♫♥♫♥♫♥

Caution: I'm Learning How to Drive!

Yes, you heard me... I'm learning how to drive, so watch out!

you know when you were a kid & you'd sit in your parents lap and drive how much funn it was? well guys, I hate to tell you but driving for real with your parents isn't funn at all!
I got my permit to drive about 5 1/2 months ago, & I guess you could say I haven't been practicing like I should? I want to drive, I really do, but it's freaking scary. all these cars just coming out of nowhere & honking their horns cause you aren't going fast enough or forgetting to turn on your blinker.... ok maybe it's not like that, but for me it's my parents...
watch out for that mailbox, LAURA WATCH OUT FOR THAT MAILBOX!!!
Mom I see the mailbox.
NO YOU DIDN'T YOU WERE GOING TO HIT IT!
Yea Mom, whatever you say.
then she'll yell at me some more & say that I don't have to drive, that it's a privilege.
Honestly?
& then they ask me why I don't like to drive? think about it!
tip of advice, drive with your grandparents.

My grandmother in Alabama was really the first person to let me drive on an actual road. Last Summer we were coming home from church, and she had let me drive around the parking lot a few times so I guess she just decided to let me just drive home. ***they live out in the middle of nowhere, back roads that kind of stuff.*** So here we go, & I'm already freaking out nervous. & I topped this hill, and @ the bottom was A POLICE ROADBLOCK! but by the time you saw them it was too late, you couldn't turn around or stop & switch drivers. My grandma was just like keep going. by this time I was almost hyperventilating. if you knew my memaw (that's what we call her.) you'd know that she's a people person. She can talk her way out of anything. well almost, she's gotten a few tickets for being a "speed demon" which now that I think about it, she's probably not the right person to teach me how to drive. So we get down to the cops & she's all hey there we just came from church.....she was just buttering him up..... & when he asked for an ID, she showed him her ID. & dude was like no, I need hers! well uh oh. I was 14 with no license & no permit. & my memaw was like she doesn't have one, she's only 14.
holy f.
I was about to cry, I was shaking so bad... I didn't know what was about to happen?
The cop started laughing! yes, laughing!
I guess he saw how scared I was, & my grandma was just crazy, so he let us go, but memaw had to drive the rest of the way home. whew!

I didn't drive again until I was 15 & got my permit

and even now I'm still a little freaked out every time I see a cop, it's not that I'm doing anything wrong it's just that they're so intimidating. why can't they just give me a break? my slate is still clean though, no tickets just yet.

My Backyard.

Tonight I let my dogs out to go use the "potty" in the backyard. & like always Dayz wouldn't come back inside. She prefers to have adventures in the backyard all dayy! so i went outside to get her, & out of nowhere a freaking butterfly beams me in the side of my head. being the person that i am, I screamed, very loudly. at that time I didn't now it was just a little butterfly. atleast everyone else got a laugh out of it! but the weird thing was later on I let them out again, & this time a frog tried to jump on my foot? I guess they are just out to get me tonight?

Speaking of Charm Bracelets.

My life is like a charm bracelet.

Who's your favorite Artist

So I was taking this random quiz on facebook today, & one of the questions was Who is your favorite Artist....so I thought about it, & I really don't know. So using my sources (e.g. twitter, facebook, myspace, etc.) i'm going to find out who your favorite artist is? maybe then I can make up my mind.....

What can I say?

Book.

So it's official people, I am writing my own book.... I didn't wanna say anything until I really knew what I was doing, cause I didn't want to jinx it. as of right now I have at least two chapters completely finished, & i'm working on the third. I've started writing a few books before, but they never really worked out. on turned into some stupid kiddy fantasy book, & the other is now officially my journal. I think what I need is confidence to really finish this book. honestly people don't even have to like it or even read it! i mean i wouldn't care if it turned out the be the next twilight or harry potter, but if it's a book kids have to read it for school and they just absolutely hate it...like the chocolate war, ugh just ask me about it DON'T READ IT!.... or if it doesn't even get published, it won't matter, cause i'll have that feeling of satisfaction, that I actually finished this one.

Now i am going to share what it's about i'd really like for ya'll do tell me what you honestly think of the idea. please be nice & don't steal my idea.

It's about this girl that can feel people's pain and sometimes read their minds. She trys to use her "gift" to help people, but most of the time it doesn't work in her favor. & then when the people die she is haunted by their ghosts, because they want her to fix what she has done.
(it's kinda like ghost whisperer meets that's so raven. weird i know!)

Eleventyseven.

So my friend Odom's status on Facebook was: do you know what eleventyseven is? & if you knew her then you'd be like oh my god, what is she talking about now? so i asked her about it, eleventyseven is a band. a great band. they're like sum 41 & hellogoodbye mixed into one. i'm not a music producer & critiquing bands isn't my job, but I know what I like, & I like eleventyseven. so far i'm in love♥ with evil genius. odom likes love in your arms. you judge. what is your favorite eleventyseven song?

Fingerprints.

These song lyrics are were most likely written about me. everything about this song screams me! love♥ Katy Perry.

Voted most likely to end up
On the back of a milk box drink
Looks like I'm lettin 'em down
'Cause seven seventy-five isn't worth
An hour of my hard working time
When you can't afford half the shit they advertise
Oh, I'm worth more than and X
More than the toe-tag generation full of regrets
Oh, I won't settle no-o, oh, I can't settle
I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I'm not going down without a fight

It's my life and I'm not sitting
On the sidelines watching it
Pass me by, I'm leaving you my legacy I
I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints on you

Representing you and me
Don't you wanna go down in history?
Rather than end up begging on the streets
Trading under table favors for a place to sleep
'Cause I'm worth more than this
So stop writing prescriptions for more Ritalin
I can focus my attention
I wanna break the mold
Wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air
I'm not going down without a fight

It's my life and I'm not sitting
On the sidelines watching it
Pass me by, I'm leaving you my legacy I
I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints..
Don't give up, but don't give in
Build your house on the rock
Oh, not in the sand, in the sand
In the sand, in the sand...

It's my life and I'm not sitting
On the sidelines watching it
Pass me by, I'm leaving you my legacy
I, I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me

It's my life and I'm not sitting
On the sidelines watching
It pass me by, I'm leaving you my legacy
I, I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
'Cause I'm leaving my fingerprints

I'm leaving my fingerprints

I'm leaving my fingerprints in the END.

UFC

So Saturday night my brother was watching UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championship, & "The Family" was going to watch The Fast & The Furious. But noooo. We had to wait & see Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir fight? Before Saturday I'd only seen a few fights on tv, & I never really watched them. But now I'm addicted to it. God forbid I ever tell my brother that, cause he'll go nuts. After Lesnar beat Mir *tear* I was thinking ok we're going to watch a movie. No wayy, the 100 greatest UFC fights came on!!!! I stayed up til 3 am watching it! My brother went to sleep at like 12? pssssht. & he says he's a fan, oh come on.
& today I was looking at omg!.com & Chuck Liddell The Iceman himself is going to be on Dancing With The Stars. shocker! If he doesn't win I am going to he highly disappointed.

What can I say?

(just a little extra, I don't like Brock Lesnar, I think he's a jerk-bad!)

Prayers.

My friend lost her brother on Monday. If you could keep her & her family in your prayers, I know that they would truly appreciate it. Brendan Talley, I didn't know you, but if you are half as great as your sister says you were, then you were a heck of a guy. You will always be missed. ♥♥♥

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

"You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you."

Like I Said.

I am being home-schooled this year. whoop whoop. & I don't know when my materials are going to get here? But I hope it gets here soon! Because all of my friends started back yesterday, & I want so badly just to learn. yes! I did say learn. there is only so much learning a person can do while on summer break. and as of right now I have three more weeks of summer left on the calendar. The kids that are going back to school say I'm lucky, but I am just so anxious to get back to work. I hope I actually like homeschooling, Cause you don't pay $750 dollars for something you aren't going to like. But I guess you just have to live & learn.
What can I say?

Gilmore Girls.

So I know that this is a little bit late, but is any still mad that Gilmore Girls ended? Yes, I know they had like 7 seasons, but why ruin a good thing? gosh. Thank God for reruns.
what can I say?

Quizzes.

I love♥ to take quizzes on facebook when I am bored. they are just funn!

Book.

So I just read this book Maybe a Miracle by: Brian Strause.
(well actually I read it maybe a week and a half ago. but that's besides the point.)

& in some books I read yes there are a few references to things i don't necessarily approve of, but it's a book I don't have to like everything about it.

So this guy named Monroe Anderson saves his little sister, Annika, from drowning in his families' swimming pool. Or better yet he dives in the pool to save her when he finds her floating in it. Everyone says he's a hero, but his sister is in a coma. She is totally out of it. His mom thinks God will take care of her daughter so she turns to her religious beliefs (e.g. Catholicism.). While Monroe's dad turns to drinking and cheating on his wife. (sorry a little bit of a spoiler there.) Monroe was just all over the place trying to believe God will help his sister then not believing it, but truly all he really wants is his sister to just wake up. While Annika is in a coma, she is said to be a "healer" or some sort. Her hands even bleed in the palms & people think she is bearing the pain for the world. (like Jesus Christ did.) People come from around the globe thinking that she can heal them of cancer, carpal tunnel, & other diseases. Though normally someone in a coma for two+ years would be considered a vegetable, the Anderson family won't let that happen to Annika.

So if you think that this book is something you'll like, then go pick it up & read it....
or you can e-mail me and I'll tell you the ending.

What can I say?

Twitter.

So last week or so, I finally got a twitter... I see all over myspace bands, and the celebs says follow me on twitter, so I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. So I made a twitter account. Laaurashook15. find me! or whatever.
I haven't really figured out what to do yet, so don't expect much.
Just like my blog, my twitter is just a work in progress.
What can I say?

Ok.

So in the past few seconds I've realized that my blog sucks, and my computer is wayy too slow.
People my 19 year old brother just recently moved back in, and he's all goo goo over his xbox 360 and how he wants it to be hooked up to xbox live...yadda yadda yadda. well he made our internet wireless and he's all the computer's faster & it'll be great!
GUESS WHAT FOLKS....I THINK IT SUCKS.
if I haven't said this before I am totally addicted to farmtown on facebook. (yeah. I know.) but since we got the wireless connection, it's been running really slow. well my entire summer i've been on farmtown just a planting and plowing. but in the past few days, I haven't been able to do it as fast. and in this world or farmtown's virtual world "Time is Money!" you gotta be fast, and good at what you do.

What can I say?

Well to tell you the truth.

I don't think anyone is looking at my blog. :( kinda makes me a little bit sad. I did all this work trying to get it up and running, & no one wants to read, I am mean I can't blame them, it's nothing compared to the other blogs out there. but I guess it is just nice to know that someone is looking, & as of right now I don't think anyone is. :(
so to make me feel better plzzz someone leave a comment....I don't even care if you say my blog sucks...I just need a comment or something!

(great now I am begging.)

I'm Backkkkk.

Vacation was great, but I couldn't wait to get back home, and sleep in my own bed!

Ha.

ONE MORE DAY TIL VACATION.

Omg.

I absolutely adore this picture!

2 more days.

Vacation is only two days away! we're going to my grandparents house in Alabama. even though I've been there for like 3 weeks already this summer, I can't wait to go back. My grandparents house is like my home away from home. It has a big yard, a pool, and in my opinion the most beautiful dirt road ever! yea people I did say dirt road, but not just not any dirt road. A red dirt road, the kind of road that gets stuck on the bottom of your shoes when it's wet and you track it all in the house. People may say that they live in the boondocks, but I'm not hard to please. I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. (Journey Reference.) (that last statement would be true if I lived in a small town. Memphis isn't really considered small?) I just can't wait to go home!
