Road Trip

Here's my adventure across the country, from Pennsylvania, stopping in Idaho, and ending in Utah. 

Mary was the first to drive. 


I took the wheel after a while


Leaving Pennsylvania and entering Ohio. (We stopped at every state sign, minus Illinois, because there wasn't one.)


A picture of Mary and I, with me driving


Leaving Ohio and entering Indiana. I like our shadows. I'm on the left, and Mary's on the right. 


You get a little stir crazy after being in a car for a while. 

Mary and I at a restaurant in Chicago. We got great pizza. 



The night we were in Chicago was New Years Eve, so we went to the Navy Pier for fireworks and music and dancing, etc. So much fun. 


Inside the Navy Pier.


Mary and I inside.


Leaving Illinois and entering Iowa.


Apparently the world's largest truck stop is in Iowa. Who knew. 


Leaving Iowa and entering Nebraska. 


Did I mention that you get stir crazy after a while?


Leaving Nebraska and entering Wyoming. 


The next day we made it to Rexburg, Idaho. 


I decided to jump on Mary's back in Rexburg. It was fun walking around there again. It'd been 5 years. Weird. And there are so many new building on campus. Crazy. 


I finally got to see the Rexburg Temple, since it wasn't built when I was at school there. 


Mary just wants to get out of the car.


UTAH!!


Random picture of Mary. 


This is where the fire extinguisher in my old complex should be. Instead, in case of fire, you're screwed. 



Mary and I. 


And I got to see Molly while I was there too. 

All in all, I had a great time.

Oh the random quizzes I've taken

Image
So, for whatever reason, I'm bored today, and have been taking many a random quiz on facebook. And for the most part, the answers seem to fit me well. Here's what I've taken. What Grey's Anatomy Character Are You? Which Office Character Are You? How Sarcastic Are You, Really? How Random is Your Bible Knowledge? What Should Your Major Be? Which Gossip Girl Character Are You? What Wicked Character Are You? Which Historical Female Figure Are You? Which House M.D. Character Are You? What New York City Borough Are You? (notice the tv character quizzes. I may watch too much television) So the Grey's Anatomy Quiz was wrong because it told me that I'm Christina, when I am clearly Meredith. I'm dark and twisty inside, and have abandonment issues. Kat is Christina. Come on, this clip says it all. I am Meredith, and Kat is Christina kicking me out of bed.) The Office Quiz told me that I'm Pam, and I can deal with that. I'm Abnormally Sarcastic according to anot...

The Return of "The L Word"

Image
On January 31, 2019 it was announced that The L Word is officially getting a sequel and lesbians around the world rejoiced. The series originally ran on Showtime from January 18, 2004 to March 8, 2009. I bought the first couple of seasons on DVD while I was a BYU student in 2006. And while I wasn’t “out,” I was out without being out. I displayed the box sets prominently on my bookshelf in my tiny apartment bedroom where I also had posters for the films Imagine Me and You , Brokeback Mountain and RENT hanging on my walls. When the show debuted, most of the gay TV shows were primarily about gay men. Now, because of The L Word , you can turn on the TV and, on many shows, you will see women presenting themselves as gay, lesbian, queer, trans and everything in between. That representation matters. Being able to turn on the TV and see your life reflected back to you is powerful and transformative. The L Word  accomplished so many firsts: television’s first deaf les...

It's been a while

Yeah, I know, I haven't updated in a really long time. So...what's new in the world of Lauren? Well, I went to California for the first time, for Thanksgiving. That was quite the adventure. I made it all the way through Utah, across a 16 mile spread of Arizona, down through Vegas, a little ways into California the rear wheel on the driver side of my car blows. My car started shaking, and I pulled off the road immediately, and my tire was shredded. It was insane. I've never seen a tire like that. (I should have taken a picture or it, but I was too shaken up.) Luckily I have 24 hour road side service, and they came and changed my tire. I'm then driving on the spare, and not long after that, the other back tire starts to go. I'm like 30 miles from Kat's place, so I just got towed there. That was an adventure in and of itself. The tow truck driver was kind of an idiot. He even gave me that map to navigate. Crazy man. I finally got to Kat's house, and we just hun...
