Down with the Sickness (ritual)

Is it just me blossoms, or does everyone have a sickness ritual?

When I am feeling sick (like today) and have been cursed with said illness (bronchitis) I begin with firstly cursing my pathetic excuse for an immune system and then it is all systems go. Cue couch, blanket (currently purple and fluffy. Wonder where I got this from) anyway, water, orange juice, corenza, perscribed medicine (had to give in and drag my sorry ass to the doctor which costed me my next trance party ticket) technology and finally millions of pillows. From this royal perch I screech delirious orders to no one in particular, hoping that someone will take pity on me and eventually bring me waffles and ice cream. I do not sleep much when sick because that gives me less time to try and make people feel sorry for me.

It gets rather lonely being sick, and owing to the fact that I cannot ask any of my friends to come over because they 1. Actually HAVE working immune systems 2. Have a job to go to 3. Do not want to hear me moan about how I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my chest and 4. Have a life.

So, alas, I will sit at home, alone, and work (or blog)

If I do not blog by tomorrow, I have choked to death from excessive coughing (or on my waffles and ice cream). I hope it's the latter.

In The Beginning...

Oh, hello kittens!

Yes, I have finally reached the point of no return and decided that in order to contemplate life more realistically, I need to break away from reality all together. And what other way could that be done but by starting a shiny new blog!

I guess with a blog you should have a plan of action. You know, who you want to target, what you want to get out of it etc etc. Just this morning in fact, I proudly told someone that I was starting a blog and they looked at me, utterly perplexed (ok, not utterly, but partly) and said, “so, what will your blog be about?” I kind of stuttered and mumbled, “well, anything I want it to be about.” And that shut her up, but it did not have the same effect on me.

So as the owner/manager/important person of this blog, I hereby announce that this blog will be about anything I want it to be about.. I will post insecure ramblings, exiting notions and ideas (well, exciting to me, maybe not to others) as well as things I love, hate, am obsessed with and things I can definitely live without. This will be my platform and if I end up being to only one who reads this, then so be it.

Here’s a little snippet of Lauren 101 for all of you living inside the internets:
• I love social media (so you will be seeing updates of things I find amusing, intriguing and disturbing.
• I love to write. (Hence the blog. Come on now, keep up)
• I love peeling open the layers (but don’t worry, there will be no four page monologues dedicated to my obsession with Chai tea)
So before you run off to another blog for another rambling read, give this a chance, I know we can make it work. Because darling, we are set in the stars.
