greetings and salutations, my true friends, from windy winona lake. i can't decide where it is colder...outside by the lake or here at my computer. we recently got our gas and electric bill, and one of our roommates informed us that we would no longer be keeping the house at a normal human temperature. no, we must now live in sub-human-polar-bear-march-of-the-penguins type fridgidness. actually, i think it's kind of romantic how we can't afford to pay for anything. it makes me feel like we are rationing supplies because we are under siege by the nazis or something, which is very exciting.
today i went to check my box at school that is usually depressingly void of notes from secret admirers, dazzling good grades or care packages (i said USUALLY), but in place of the wooden nothingness was a small envelope. my name was printed in all capital letters, and my box number was written below. thinking the envelope held yet another reminder about my college account, overdue library books or another expense of some sort, i hesitated in opening it. but, open it i did, and all to find a twenty dollar bill. no note, no explanation. God in an envelope.
so, welcome to my new blog....please don't expect noble narratives or lengthy literature or anything remotely profound out of me. i'm just the girl next door who wants to tell you about her life. at least parts of it.
love you all.

Lauren - If you need any help with how stuff works on here, just email me. I would recommend setting up word verification so you don't get spam comments.
all your "real" friends in winona lake? um, in case you haven't noticed, i've lived in gville for more than 10 yrs now... *tearing up* well, if that's how it must be...
i'm glad you're having fun hiding from the nazi's. it's kewl that you're back in the "share my life with the world" circle.
lyndie!! i wasn't saying that my true friends are in winona lake, i was saying greetings to my true friends FROM winona lake (meaning i am in winona lake). the truest of true are found everywhere, ESPECIALLY in greenville:)
hopefully that cleared up the semantics issue.
love from the lake
otay, lo. forgiven. ;) btw, check your email. i sent you a love letter.
lauren! you're back!! i'm so happy! i really missed reading about your life - and i always seem to "hear" your voice in the words you write. you are simply delightful :)
hmm. i like the blue-ness. very blue. reminds me of that song from highschool. you know- that one with the guy singing about his blue house and blue car "and everything around is blue like me, inside and out". i never thought of it as about being sad, i just pictured something like a blue oompa-loompa like land. be blue, be happy!
