hi, hello, my name is Lauren,
these are a few things I've found in my attic, and some things about me.
"Tattooed Family" 1955 Todd Walker
it was folded up in a box, so that's where the lines came from
( this post is full of pictures! )

Just a note from me saying sorry about the backlog on entries. I went out of town for Christmas, and to my surprise I had ZERO access to a computer. So, I again apologize, but now that everything is (mostly) back to normal for me, I should be approving entries within a few hours of posting.
Hope everyone had a nice and safe holiday!

So I applied for a bartender job on Craigslist or wherever and the guy just emailed me back asking "do you have a facebook" (capitalization and punctuation his). I do have a Facebook, but I've used it like once and I guess I should fuck around with it before sending it off to the guy. So what kind of stuff should I have on there that employers are looking for? Is there anything I shouldn't have? Will it look bad that I have no friends or anything?
Unless I'm correct in assuming that it was just a discreet way of asking "Do you have any pictures of yourself online, because nobody hires ugly bartenders." In which case, check.

| High School Awards and Etc. |
[24 Dec 2009|12:20am] |
I'm writing a resume to send to various hospitals I would want to work at and I'm wondering if any experience or awards from high school (example: national honor society, team top scorer in varsity quiz team) would be worth while to list, or do employers look at this stuff and think "blah blah blah..."?
Would it hinder me trying to get a job as a graduate nurse to have a resume hinting at a lot of IT and art experience. Computers are obviously an important part of healthcare, but I don't know if listing these things would make me look sort of...distracted.

| you can't really find cloves in paris. |
[14 Dec 2009|01:53pm] |
not that i've really exerted a considerable amount of energy towards finding them. i like my lucky strike blues just fine anyway.
'home' has been playin' on my mind in recent history, not because i'm sick for it but because the word doesn't really exist in french.
the concept, therefore, is not exactly universal, which is a peculiar notion.
this is my hometown ["Madtown, Dairyland"]:
this is where i'm crashing currently [Paris]:
and i like to think i nurse some sort of spiritual connection with this place [Berlin]:
where are you from (originally, currently and spiritually)?

| laptop stickers |
[12 Dec 2009|12:57pm] |
I was recently remembering my friend Sarah, who used to put stickers on practically *everything*. She had one of those huge see-through tabletop Mac's and it was *decked out* in awesome stickers she got at gigs, random New York stores, and what not (cool Azn friends...etc)
So show me your laptops (or cellys). (Hey, a nerd has to get her kicks! And I don't mean Nike's!)
 
PIC#1: I'm a minimalist, and this Rough Trade sticker, that I got from some cool lesbians in London ('cause I bought Crass's album "Penis Envy") is on my Burberryesque Nokia E63. Sadly, my laptop [a Toshiba sattelite series] is bare (but used to have a ninja turles -specifically Rafael- sticker).
PIC#2: random laptop that I googled

| Winter travels & Mix CD's |
[14 Dec 2009|01:00pm] |
This January, I'm travelling to Stockholm, Oslo, Brussels and Bruges with a friend. In hindsight, it might've been a smarter move to book a trip to Scandinavia during warmer months, but you know what happens when opportunity knocks!
If you live in/have visited the aforementioned cities: Do you have any tips as to what types of clothing/accessories I must pack, amazing(ly cheap) places to eat and drink and other can't-miss things to do and see? This will be my, and my friend's, first time to these cities so our game plan is to arrive and just fly by the seat of our pants!
And so this post isn't simply a travel question, I leave you with a gift I mailed to a friend who is spending the year teaching in Korea:
( Shake it like you mean it )
Thanks for your help!

Hello! My name is Ivana Stab. I’ll be 21 in February. I live in a middle-of-nowhere suburb, but thankfully it is located in Sydney. I’ll be starting my year of Honours early in 2010 to wrap up a Bachelor of Arts (Politics and International Relations). I make perzines and fanzines and sometimes write CD and gig reviews for various websites. Mostly I chain-smoke in Hyde Park and talk incessantly.
Once upon a time, I visited Livejournal religiously. Then it became a bit of a ghost town but I realised recently I really miss it. I’ve met lots of amazing people through this website; some of those people have become good friends of mine “in real life”. I discovered many of my interests and musical loves by stumbling upon them on Livejournal. I’m hoping things will become a bit more lively here so it’d be nice to meet some new people, hence this introductory post.
( you’re not punk & I’m telling everyone )
♥ ♥ ♥
