there is a really great dali museum in St. Petersburg Flordia, and I would really like to get in there one day when i get some $. I always knew dali was pretty sweet, but I'm beginning to REALLY like him. There is so much of his work that I had never looked at. the rare, and really strange stuff is what interests me, and the photographs of him are amazing, I feel like he was constantly being in a surreal state of mind, like all great artists constantly making art. Which is insane to me, because I know that it is so hard to stay "in it", and it is hard to go back once you leave it because there is a part of you that does not want to go back, but there's a part of you that likes the high too.
I wonder if he was miserable.
Hm. this kind the kind of stuff makes me want to go to grad school. (nonsense lauren! push these feelings aside!)
anyways.
St. Pete might be one of my favorite places of the summer so far.
I've been reading Brave New World, and playing songs, and getting drunk with ducks.
I keep thinking I want to get a tattoo but then I realize that I could buy a guitar with nylon strings instead.
I miss people, I don't miss michigan or kalamazoo.

I've been learning about the south..eating a lot of seafood, and drinking a lot of sweet tea. It's a jungle down here!
you can tell some of these people have not had a reason to get out of their beach clothes and flip-flops in a lot time.. haha.

I'm dissappointed in my ability to make art and music latley... mostly art, it's been so hard for me to stay motivated, I just end up trashing everything I work on. It's okay, guess it's not for me right now. I think there is something else that I need to do right now.
I have been feeling like I want to be doing something that really makes a positive difference, not just expressing through art and music, but being more active. Although I still don't know how to get involved... I am not sure what's going on but I feel like there are young people doing great things and I wanna know!
GAAAH, so... inspired it hurts!
whatever,
stuff is good,
off to take that math test now!

All I've been doing is working and saving, and trying to become closer to my family.
People are always asking me where I have been, and what I've been up to.. and I don't know how to answer, but I'm happy.
love,
lauren.
p.s. don't buy plastic.

the next 3 weeks, i'm just going to be working hard to save up money for the trip! I've already started, i was working for my dad all weekend, and I have a little bit saved up, but not enough.
I am going to have to leave all of my little addictions behind me, so that the money will last as long as possible. I am realizing it is really hard to live minimally, and not buy worthless shit all day. I am still trying to cut back on coffee.
I've been hanging out with my dad all weekend and it's been really nice.
I got a sunburn, and I swear I think have blonde hair..
Anyways, back to work!
love,
lauren.

Summer classes are keeping me busy. Math is especially time-consuming for me.
It is really hard to find people who like the same things as me.
It just means more driving back to milford again to see the best friends. which i am doing today!
and Cassidy is back in Michigan!
Love,
Lauren.

duchamps's "fountain", was suggested by some crazy critic that by having the urinal on it's side to have a budda shape.
I noticed that this is also the shape of my nose.
therefore- my nose is as artsy as duchamps work.
THE END.

I want to find something that is real... I want to help out with something, and I don't know how.
I want to go out and find it, but I am not sure what I'm looking for, or if it exists.
I need some organization i think.
but I've been wondering, why not me? why not you? or better yet, you and me.
If something catastrophic happened, then I would know exactly what to do. But that might mean it was too late.
I feel an intellectual conversation brewing! who knows what could happen.
