Thank goodness you told us you just woke up. That could've been a whole new thread:D
Yes, ok. I admit it. I'm a complete slut (na na na na na):P

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments well you're a boy it's to be expected.


message 303: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments so today was supposed to be all about the music, we recorded two songs, then i went to the gym while jeff went to pick up tim, and when i got out i found out that my cousin's grandmother had passed away last night. i called my cousin to find out if she was alright, she seemed fine, i started crying, felt like an asshole for being emotional afterall its her grandmother not mine and now i am writing this. i will probably write something about her later today but i have to change gears cause the boys will be back in 30 minutes and i have to be ready to sing the Gayest Musical ever, oh joy oh rapture, i think i need a drink.


message 304: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Sometimes you need a good cry, and sometimes your brain gives you no other choice. I'm pretty sure you'll feel better if you just give in. Sing along to your gayest musical and then just start bawling. Can you imagine their faces? Wow, that would be awkward. On second thought wait until you're done with that.



message 305: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks
luckily we are recording in my house, so if i start crying i can just go down the hall to my room.

Wendy (wendyswore) Lauren just poluted my brain.

So andy- how do you have two acres after a fight?


message 307: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments wait how did i polute your brain?


message 308: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments Sometimes the best thing to do when something bad happens is dive into work.

we recorded demos for all but two of the company numbers in the show. Tim and I are singing all the parts some songs have 12 parts, its crazy.

I posted five of the demos on my website if you want to check out our music for the Gayest Musical Ever click below.

Some of our lyrics are explicit, but most of it is just campy fun, cause well, its a musical and its called the gayest musical ever.

yeah, i'm one of the zombie hip hop dancers, and a hot ghetto mamma, who does a ballet pad de duex, its random. Dave Scott choreographed it, and then my friend adam and i were messing around and choreographed a pad de duex, and dave was like ok do that, so we did, i've actually never seen the movie, but the director said i was funny.


message 311: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendyswore) Lauren, I was referring to the "that sounded real slutty to my just arroused brain. i just woke up." Your brain made my brain go there. So I was kidding.


message 312: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments ok, wasn't sure wendy, theres a lot of things that could have polluted your brain going on in this thread lately.

one of my jobs is as a dance teacher, i teach ballet, tap, hip hop, musical theater, lyrical, modern, jazz and i think that's it, i also used to belly dance.


message 314: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I'm not getting updates for some reason. Here I am thinking 'Hmm..quiet day. No one is talking today.' Then I log in to check something, and holy posts! I have the little box checked but the darn thing is not telling me anything.


message 315: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments hmmm i don't know.


message 316: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Just recieved about a thousand updates this morning. About half of them I've answered already. Definitely something with the site.


message 317: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments So, I had to go to a memorial yesterday in San Jose, so I drove my mother and myself there, stayed at the memorial for 6 hours, turned around and drove back, i got home at 530am and had to leave for work at 1pm, so i am exhausted and trying to catch up on all the threads, i guess everyone was really busy. ok sleep time, at work.


message 318: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments im not off work for another 5 and a half hours and then my hour commute home.


message 319: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks henry. are you sure you're not my long distance goodreads bf? cause if you were you are being a wonderful very caring one right now.


message 320: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks, i just took a nap it was awesome.


message 321: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I napped today too, and then drank a pot of coffee to wake up. Shoot, I'm going to be up until the wee hours. The good new though, no kids tomorrow!! Yay me. Well, there's my kids, but they can fend for themselves.

I just have to cut the grass, do the laundry, pack some stuff for camping, clean the bathrooms, make supper, bath the kids, maybe shave my legs, and then the day is mine. Yes, it's all mine.

Maybe I'll have another nap when I'm done all that. Oh and I have to do some shopping, for marshmallows, sunscreen, and booze.


message 322: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments So, haven't really been productive, but I had a date today, so that's exciting.

They do exist, they really do exist, see mommy I told you there were straight single men between the ages of 22 and 30.


message 323: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Henry,
I'm sorry you found out this way, I knew she was cheating on you. Take heart, it's not a physical relationship. She just likes his sense of humor.


message 324: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i actually do like his sense of humor. it was our first date, and sadly for henry there were tongues involved.


message 325: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Tongues! On a first date? Gasp, how scandalous. Where were the tongues, never mind. Too much information.

Sorry Henry, long distance relationships can't compete with real tongues. Unless you have a gift we don't know about.


message 326: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments well, he also has that midnight ghost girlfriend.

is it bad that we met for smoothies, went for a walk and i asked, "What do you want to do now?" and he said, "What's around here?" "My house." "Ok, i'll follow you."

he came over fell in love with my place, and joked about wanting to move in, then we sat on the couch holding hands and talking, i put my head on his shoulder and he made a joke about how he was working from home and how it sucked that i had to leave for work in 30 minutes, then he kissed me... and well, we only had 30 minutes and it was a first date so it wasn't that exciting, but it was very nice.


message 327: by Paul (new)

Paul I'm very happy for you and very sad for our Henry.


message 328: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments we shouldn't be too sad for henry, i'm pretty he sure he chose whitney over me for his wedding cover story.


message 329: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Henry gets molested in his sleep by Whitney's ghost. Don't feel too bad for him. Well, he can't remember it, so that's kind of sad. We should set up a camera so he can watch it later.

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i think you just invented a very underutilized porn industry, ghost porno. ectoplasmic orgasms.

what does that mean? are you stalking me?


message 333: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments well on the bright side, i know that you will have lots of photos to choose from my website. oh the joys of self promotion.


message 334: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments oh henry.


message 335: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) You should use Lauren's picture as your screen saver, like Paul does. that's stalkerish, sort of. Maybe make a button to pin to your shirt so you can look at her all day long. That's sweet. Maybe I'll made Kurt a button. He can't wear a ring to work, but they didn't say anything about buttons.


message 336: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I should have been a comedian, but I like to eat. So I'm a writer/babysitter.


message 337: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I would love to be the kind that gets paid. That would be awesome. I love kids, but I'm tired of this daycare stuff. Up at 5am for the first one, last ones leave sometimes as late as 8pm or even 9. It's a long day and a lot of crying, diapers, destruction, and mess.


message 338: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I didn't think I could either, that's why I worked crazy hours and lost my mind when Kennedy was a baby and so sick. I was getting maybe three hours of sleep every night for four years with a random 6 hour night when Kurt took over(once a month I think).
When she was almost four, Kurt asked why I didn't babysit so I could be home with them and deal with all of the stuff I needed to in regular hours. It terrified me. Some days, when the baby screams all day, the two year old pees on my carpet and the dogs chew the furniture and whatever else they can get their mouths on, I think I'm losing it.
But when I can take the girls to the park, go to school plays, and stay home with them when they're sick, I'm glad I did it.

Oh yeah and when I realize I'd never have come back to writing if I wasn't babysitting, then I appreciate it.


message 339: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments My goal for today is to spend three hours writing something, i have a bunch of little projects that are living in my brain trying to cue up but i'm not sure who is going to make it to the front of the line, my ideas list is a whole page right now, with just the title of the project and genre, thats dangerous to me right now.


message 340: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments so life happens and i started writing 30 minutes ago, but i have a new prospective prologue on mary magdalene, which could make it into a novel if i take this route and 614 words.

so today so far.

614, excitement.


message 341: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments another 429, on mary vs. thoth.

i think i am finding ways to be an equal opportunity offender now.


message 342: by Paul (new)

Paul That's the way. Upset everybody impartially. Don't neglect dwarves, vegetarians, redheads and the left handed. They don't get nearly enough abuse.


message 343: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 1803 comments Lauren I thought you ewould like this cause it is prettiful


message 344: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thank you daisy, its gorgeous. i actually have a pair of my great grandmothers earings around here that are very similar to that bracelet.

paul, yet another thing i don't know how to do, imbed images.

i ended up with 1,147 on mary vs. thoth before i went to bed, so all said and done,

word count for 8/8/09 1,761


message 345: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks henry. i tend to write in spurts. i won't write anything and then i will sit down and write an entire story. or script or something. the screenplay i posted on here, i wrote in a week. i would go to work and do my research and outline, plotting scenes and deaths and the location, i have a map of the island that i had to grid off and place all of the settings in, and a character list with all the names, weapons and deaths on them, and as i went i checked off the areas and characters as they became dead zones and well dead. i would come home every night from work and sit at my laptop and write until my eyes couldn't stay open anymore. that tends to be my method. there is another script that i love, that is like my baby, that i will get made someday but its really twisted and its going to be a pet project i know that. that script is called IM, and i wrote the first half on a sunday afternoon. woke up at 10am started writing, didn't leave the couch until 11pm, got to the point where i was going to have to kill off a major character, and didn't know how i wanted to do it. went to sleep. the following sunday i woke up from a dream and knew how i wanted to kill him. sat down to my computer around 1030am and finished the script. the following week i sat down again and did an edit, flushed out some scenes that were missing to make the death scene believable. Took it to my agent, it scared the crap out of him, but he asked me if i could write treatments for sequels because at the time lionsgate was looking for films they could turn into series like Saw, so i went home and wrote treatments for two possibly three sequels depending on how you break up the story that night. it was halloween, which i found appropriate. i got home from our meeting around 8pm and wrote until 1 in the morning when i had finished treatments for the sequels, i spell and grammar checked them and emailed them to my agent. the next day WGA went on strike and everything got put on hold. but now i have the complete story of this character whom i love and i just need to write the other two/three scripts and i will have a completed series to shop around, not that anyone is buying a series from a first time writer.

oh delusions of grandure.


message 346: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments 405 so far today on ma'at vs. thoth. long story.


message 347: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i just posted the prologue and the first chapter, of the mary magdalene evolution. it starts with a present day ma'at(Mary turned into Ma'at from egyptian mythology) sitting down to write out her diary to set the record straight. then the first chapter is the story of Ma'at and her brother Thoth and how they came to be and were doomed to repeat this life.

its a start.
