I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
myth is more potent than history
dreams are more powerful than facts
hope always triumphs over experience
laughter is the cure for grief
love is stronger than death.

-Robert Fulghum

Well, I'm Lauren. I can't really describe myself well. I live for the words found in great books, writing, watching TV, watching movies, long car rides, cool windy days, antiques, listening to music, holidays, laughing with my friends, meeting new friends, swings, being pushed around in swivel chairs, random musicals and plays, shopping, visiting new places, memes, middle-aged celebrities, fanfiction, fandoms, food, sugary cereals, laughter, helping people, libraries, dogs, my family, late-nights, Disney, chorus, day-dreams, Queen, spending hours in Barnes & Noble, looking for the perfect gifts, hugs, volunteering, spending time with nice people, coffee, the smell of garages, older times and places, being honest, binge-watching, crunchy leaves, tacky sweaters, combat boots, YouTube, fun facts, making people laugh and smile, and just...the crazy, odd, dark, and great world we live in.

If you consider yourself a WRITER rather than an AUTHOR, put this in your profile. Writers put emotion into their work. Authors do it for the money

If while reading someone's fan fiction you LOVED it so much that you wanted to track that person down and give them a flying-tackle-hug to show how much you loved their work copy and paste this to your profile

Nerds are cool. Nerds are smart. Nerds will one day rule the universe. If you are a nerd and proud of it, copy and paste this into your profile

How Stereotypical

I am the girl who doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl who people look through when I say something. I am the girl who spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl who doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cell phone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with book characters, who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things. I am that girl.

I'm some one people like to talk to. I'm not popular nor unpopular. I have some friends. Reading is what i do best. It is my passion. When i come home i read, during school i read and walking down the street i read.When i read a book i am caught up on it for a long period of time. I have to read it again. I wish am in the book. I'm different and I like it. I like who i am and don't judge myself to harshly. I am the kind of girl who doesn't need a guy to complete her. I am the kind of girl who talks to herself when there is no one else to talk to. I am the kind of girl who would rather read than do athletics.

Some people live from day-to-day

I live from-

Friday to Friday

Criminal Minds episode to Criminal Minds episode

Tim Burton Movie to Tim Burton Movie

Long car ride to Long car ride

And story idea to story idea.

On a day where there is none, I might as well not exist. =)

I am that girl,

The one who likes book more than boys.

The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy

The one who always wonders what she did wrong

The one who writes to escape

The one who just wants to help

The one that really wants to make a difference

The one that sticks to her values

The one that refuses to believe that this is it

The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow

The one who won't give in

The one won't give up
