About Me:

Name: Lauren
Gender: Female
Age: 18

Don't know what to write, so out with the random facts! I am an extremely nerdy, musically obsessed and caffine addicted, history-geek of a lesbian. And that about sums me up! I'm pretty cynical but always ready for a good, old fashioned debate whenever it comes to Theist philosophy, and identify at the moment as atheist. I'm somewhat consumed with the history of the World Wars and the Cold War, and at the moment am actually struggling to put down one of my more hefty textbooks... It's seriously screaming for a re-read. That said, I tend to shy away from non-fiction in most of my writing.

I love writing fanfiction with a passion, and have this rather paranoid (I'll admit it) obsession with making it damn near impossible for anyone I know to find my writing. I actually have a locked box in my room that contains hard copies of stories and flash drives; and the key changes location every three days. Also, that's not even the key that opens the box... That's the key that opens the hidden container of the real key. Paranoia aside, I'm going to try and muster up some courage and actually put stories up here. Because I do have quite the collection now.

I play piano and flute, have a longbow sitting around in my room next to a quiver of arrows (which seriously need re-fletching...) and I'm most likely unhealthily addicted to World of Warcraft and other such games. Probably really lacking in vitamin D as a result of this. :D And, as a side note, I recently seem to have developed an allergy to alcohol. Woe is me!
