Update March 17th to April 26th:

This is probably going to skip around a lot in this update since I haven't been active for a while.

Dance: competition season is over which is good and bad. It was an interesting last competition (tears after Don't Let Go, a really risqué dance).

Guys: there are so many words I would like to tell you to show how much you mean to me.

Favorites: The Walker by Fitz and the Tantrums

Writing: I've got writers block on my newest story. There are other stories (long and shorts ones) in the planning.

School: TOO MANY PROJECTS!!!!!!!!

Outfits: weather, please make up your mind!

Life in General: I'm tired but it's not the kind of tired that sleep can fix.

Random Bit of Writing:

So I had taken this photo at the Arboretum. When posting it on my photography account on Instagram (unwritten_unspoken).





The Hidden Bench
 
Hidden amidst the greenery
there stood a bench.
It had withstood
the seasons
the weather
the plants
the people
But it's view of the lake
the world
Was still a secret to most
Hidden amidst the greenery

Update for March 7th- March 17th:

Hey everyone! Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

I haven't updated in forever and was asked to update, in a manner of speaking. It has been an interesting ten days.

Dance: Okay so the dance competition I had talked about last post was a total success. We basically won the overall competition with "Don't Stop the Party" as the best dance of the weekend. Many of the dances got platinums and high golds and also won prizes like top first or first overall in their category.

Guys: I'm really happy right now. Thank you.

Favorites: I just saw Frozen this past weekend and I am in love with the music. Idina Menzel is a queen in all of her songs.

Writing: I am currently working on the third chapter of my new story. I really need a title for it.

School: We start partner dancing tomorrow (Tuesday) and I have so many creeps in my class. The only cutie isn't in my gym period.

Outfits: I really want the weather to decide on either hot or cold because the weather sucks right now outfit wise. I really would like to wear shorts and skirts, but it's in between hot and cold.

Life in General: I've been happier lately, which is great.

Update for February 24th to March 6th:

Hey guys!

I hope you liked the videos I posted. Compiling them was basically finding them in my reblogged history on Tumblr, checking to see what they were, and copying the link. If you haven't seen them, the link is here http://laurthompsonphotography.blogspot.com/2014/02/videos-i-like.html or it should be in the February area.

Anyways, a lot has been going on that's taken me away from the computer and updating and stuff.

Dance: I've got a dance competition this weekend (Woohoo). It's the first time doing Silver, which is going to be very interesting with the masks and full bodysuits. I actually really like this costume, I mean, it's itchy but it's definitely in for most creative. All of my costumes have been sparkly this year. I'm hoping no one messes up with the masks and taking them off.

Guys: Ok so many guy crushes at the moment. It's kind of hard to handle, but I guess there's only two I really like. The only problem is: they don't notice me. At all. In that way, I guess.

Favorites: I'm very obsessed with psychology right now. I find it very interesting.

Writing: Poetry is becoming a new favorite way to write.

School: ISATs are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God!

Outfits: Not many big outfits, except the one I wore to see Phantom of the Opera. It's been mainly sweats for testing.

Life in General: I haven't been in a good mood at all this week. It may seem like it, but I'd really like to smack some people.

Videos I Like

These are videos I reposted on Tumblr from other people.



Frozen Meets Vivaldi. It's basically the Frozen soundtrack with only strings. AMAZING!

This is a tribute video to the 11th Doctor. It's one of the best I've seen. (BTW it made me tear up)

If you need a dose of cuteness, this is it. It is scampering puppies.

Let It Go from Frozen put through Google translate a bunch of times then back to English.

February 23rd, 2014: Update

Hey everyone!

This is an update from the 20th to 23rd.

Dance: Silver is still in cleaning process. My mom  saw it being rehearsed on Friday and she said it looked awesome. So kudos to everyone in the dance and the process.

Guys: I really wish a guy would say "I made plans" instead of "Idc what do you want to do". This keeps happening to me and the guy and I can never decide on a plan. He doesn't want to hang out alone and for me, groups are too much work to put together.

Favorites: I am obsessed with Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen right now and my YouTube playlist consists of Queen, the Beatles, and other artists in the category of alternative (Neon Trees, etc.)

Writing: This is in accordance with CAA for this writing section. Next Thursday, I am going downtown for a. accept-a-bration. It a celebration with other students that were admitted to the Academy.
I have also worked on and edited my new story. This is now an official starter for chapter three.

School: Fingers crossed the new guy's hot.

Outfits: I had to lay out things that I'd be taking to Costa Rica for spring break and I realized that I have very little summer things and spring things that fit me that aren't dresses.

Life in General: I am in a grey area between tired and excited.

February Nineteenth, 2014: Update!

Hey! So here's the very first real update for Laur's Life. Woohoo!

Categories:

Dance: This past weekend, the dance team that I'm on participated in a competition. Overall, we did really well. The dances that I'm in got high golds and elite golds. Yay! The other dances did spectacularly, also winning high golds and elite golds. Rehearsals for Silver are still underway, but are going successfully since we have finished our dance. Silver is going into cleaning time!

Guys: Guys are confusing. It takes too much effort to like one and when they don't like you back, it's more effort to be upset than happy. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile.

Favorites: I absolutely love the word peripeteia. It means a sudden or unexpected reversal of circumstances or situation especially in a literary work.

Writing: I am on page 15 and 5, 235 words for my newest story. It doesn't have a name yet and I don't want to say much about it, but it is in the genre of mystery. I am enjoying writing and researching for it, because it has made me interested in psychology.

School: I really wish the teachers would lay off the homework. It's getting a bit much with the projects that give me no time to have a life.

Outfits: I am absolutely in love with my pink flower crown. It is the prettiest thing ever.

Life in General: Life is tiring at this moment. There's a lot to handle, people and work wise.
