To do list.

- Scarborough Fair
- Ranger's Game
- Mr. Marmalade in Dallas (a play)
- Screening of Lauren Greenfield's Thin (if it's still open)
- Dallas Museum of Arts
- Dallas World Aquarium
- The new spider exhibit at the Fort Worth Zoo
- The drive in movie theatre in Ennis; called the Galaxy Theatre
- Galleria for ice skating
- Dallas Desperado's or FC Dallas game
- The Addison Improv
- The Runway Theatre in Grapevine

So what? I like to keep busy.

Also, I'm about to turn 21... this is big time. And honestly, I'm scared of being any older than 21.

But, bring on the lauren-kelly-k-turns-21 extravaganza weekend!

Things I need; in case you were wondering:
- money; straight up - for a bike and for a new laptop.
- giftcards; Apple store, iTunes, PacSun, Forever21, Target, Barnes&Noble, zappos.com - or anything from those places. :)
- cable

LOVE!

because my mom is my biggest fan...

Fun stuff first, then the poopy stuff?
Deal.

So, I'll go ahead and say that the biggest motivating factor -urging me to finish my semester with a vengeance - is my upcoming trip to Tampa, FL. Happy early 21st birthday to M-E! It's gonna be a quick road trip with my two bestest friends. We are going to bond, and be tired, and make memories that we'll have forever. Oh, and of course we'll take at least a million pictures. Minimum.

Kessler, Devin's band, is opening for Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., Cobra Starship, Paul Wall, and +44 on April 20th, and that's why this super quick road trip is a MUST. So, we'll be leaving on Dallas on Wednesday, April 18th and driving through the night (probably about 15 hours). We'll be in Tampa by early Thursday afternoon. The big show is Friday night, followed by another show at Lillian's on Saturday night... then back to Texas it is.

GET PUMPED. Cause I am.

Poopy:

So, Devin isn't going to be able to come home this weekend. Of course I got my hopes up. Of course that made it hurt more when I found out he couldn't.

I heard a song today that reminded me so much of my particular situation as of late.

God, I'm such a girl.
Lyrics are my favorite though, and I'll share them with you:

Hey There Delilah
By the Plain White T's


"Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good


Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me."
