I wanted to highlight my favourite viral video memes. (P.S. I love that memes have taken over in video form).
There's the extremely popular (and I think the original one that started it all): Shit Girls Say. I wish I could say this was a gross misrepresentation of the things girls say, but most girls I know say things like this on a regular basis. Myself included.
Of course there's the second edition of Shit Girls Says, which is arguably funnier than the original. (But don't bother with the third - it's not very funny).
Another one I really enjoyed was Shit Yogis Say. It's kind of ridiculous and over the top, but I'm into the whole balancing my chakras, centering myself, holistic movement and I love to laugh at myself. (Besides, I'm totally rocking the 'yoga hair' right now and the Farmers' Market sounds like a great idea).
And one that particularly resonated with me and my classmates was Stuff PR People Say. It's like looking into the scary future.
I'm sure if my friends wanted to, they could create a video full of just Shit Lauren Says. It would be ridiculous and over-the-top but all completely true and so funny that we would pee our pants. Let's hope that never gets made.
Peace!

Yoga Inversions & Cum... in a Hot Tub
This video is so inspiring. Still working on my balancing and inversions.
It's crazy what our bodies are capable of.
Fun new discovery !!
A shot called Cum in a Hot Tub. And it looks exactly like cum in a hot tub.
Yum? I actually do want to try this.

Somebody That I Used To Know
Sometimes certain posts will get repeatedly shared on my facebook newsfeed. I don`t have time to watch every single video or read every article that my friends post, but when I see certain posts constantly reoccurring I become intrigued and figure it`s worth my time to check out. That is definitely the case with this wickedly amazing cover of Somebody That I Used To Know. I`ve never seen 5 people play one guitar before. And the song sounds amazing too! Give yourself a treat this sunny Saturday morning and watch this vid!

Fun Things Posted on My Facebook Today
I love the stuff my friends share on facebook. To further my poaching activities for the day I shall share some of the fascinating, intersting, awesome things I learned today, brought to you by my facebook friends:
Take a moment to revel in the beautiful, unseasonally warm sunshine we have today. Today is the day that the earth is actually the closest to the sun all year long. Fascinating :)
Here is a list of 8 Bad Relationship Habits to Kick This Year. We all know we're guilty of at least some, if not the majority of these. Just some interesting insights to keep in mind. I particularly like the one about living more in the present moment and spending more time experiencing your relationship and less time talking about it.
Being the proud east coaster that I am, I think it's awesome that Atlantic Canada made CNN's list of the world's top destinations for 2012!!! It made the list mainly because there's a lot of buzz right now surrounding the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic sinking - it sank just off the coast and the Titanic graveyeard is there. But the east coast is awesome regardless. It's beautiful scenery and rich culture are only the tip of the delightful iceberg that is definitely worth running into. I highly reccommend visiting!
Hope everyone is having a super lovely day! You're all beautiful! Love each other!

12 Hangover Cures From Famous Heavy Drinkers
Happy 2012!
I figured this would be an appropriate first post for 2012.
(Side note: I tried to post this on January 1, but my computer was being a nitwit. When I start yelling at intanimate objects I try to walk away and return at a later date when I`m not so frustrated).
Check out this list of hangover remedies from well-known booze hounds.
I`m definitely going to try Brenda Frazier`s coke and milk. And Dean Martin has some excellent words of wisdom, as always.
I hope you had a most excellent New Year`s Eve and I wish everyone a very happy New Year filled with much love and happiness!
Also, for those bumming around today, waning off their hangovers, check out these blunt cards - the greeting cards for people you hate. And don`t forget, Post Secret updates its site every Sunday!

Auld Lang Syne
I love New Year's Eve! What a fantastic holiday! Most people have the next day off, everyone is down for partying into the wee hours of the morning, and getting drunk off your arse is not only acceptable - it`s expected! It`s like everyone gets to celebrate their birthday all together on one night :)
One of my favorite ways to recover after a New Year's party (after a hungover brunch, of course) is to curl up and watch my favorite New Year's movies.
First is RENT. If you've never seen Rent, you are missing out on life. I'll warn you, it is a musical, but it is a fantastic rock opera. The story focuses on a group of 20-somethings who are poor and trying to find their path in New York's Alphabet City during the late 80s/early 90s. Rent also takes place over Christmas too, so it's a perfect movie for this time of year. Watch it. I promise it will change your life.
My favorite romcom of all time will always be When Harry Met Sally. This movie was ahead of its time and one of a kind. If you think the title sounds familiar, this is the movie where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in a diner - I'm sure everyone has seen spoofs of this monumental moment in cinematic history. I love this movie because although it does follow a bit of the romcom formula, the events and emotions throughout the movie are extremely realistic and appear genuine - it's doesn't come off as inauthetnitc, which is how I find most rom-coms to be. Plus, this movie has the ability to make me cry like a sobbing baby at the end, every time.
Of course there's the 90s classic 200 Cigarettes. I initially watched this movie on a whim, not thinking it would ever be worthy of a rewatch, but I have to give it props. 200 Cigarettes is one of those ensemble cast movies (which I am a total sucker for, e.g., He's Just Not That Into You) that maintained a solid, fluid plot throughout and didn't expect popularity by simply relying on its smorgasborg of celebs in the film (like many ensemble cast movies do, e.g., Valentine's Day). It's a hilarious film that all takes place on New Year's Eve, following around a number of different characters, all trying to find the perfect way to ring in the New Year. Sound familiar? That's because there's a new movie coming out this year called New Year's Eve and it also has an ensemble cast. I haven't heard great stuff about New Year's Eve, but like I said, I'm a sucker for ensemble casts so I will go see it anyway. But I have my doubts about it's ability to live up to 200 Cigarettes.
On an extra lovey note, if you haven't seen it, here's a lovely vid of Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing a beautiful song together. 500 Days of New Year's Eve <3

Oh, baby!
I LOVE bad reality television. Like really bad, trashy, "it's so bad but I can't look away" kind of reality television. Jersey Shore, Bachelor Pad, Flavor of Love, I've seen it all. (I even wrote a blog post about it for class, which I will share later).
My ears perked up when I heard about ABC's latest reality television venture: Celebrity Wife Swap! It's like Wife Swap meets the Surreal Life. I am surprised ABC (which is owned by Disney) is the one putting out this guaranteed-to-be outrageous and offensive endeavor. With characters such as Gary Busey and Flavor Flav, this show is bound to be entertaining!!!
