Hello! The name's Lauren. I'm pretty much your typical, resident Twilight / Harry Potter nerd, minus all the screaming and tears. Those kinds of people tend to really freak me out. I'm 19 years old and a Sophomore in college. I enjoy photography, acoustic guitars, and a good movie to sink my teeth into. And about that last bit, I mean it. That's what I spend most of my weekends doing - watching movies. I'd bet $1,000 (which I don't have) that I could beat any of you at movie trivia. Any day. My dream job? A movie critic. :) I do enjoy writing, but I tend to be the kind of person who loses interest in something much to quickly to see it through. A few years back, I came up with an idea for a 5,000 word (give or take) Harry Potter one-shot, and it's still not complete. In fact, I highly doubt I even remember where I put the notebook... But who knows? Maybe one of these days I'll surprise you guys (and myself) by publishing something. Until then, I'll just stick to reading and critiquing other people's works. It's SO much more fun! A separate part of my brain realizes that no one will probably read this, but I feel compelled to fill you in on a few things. I'm not your typical let's-get-drunk-on-the-weekends teenager, so before you talk to me (or review any future stories I may or may not publish), here are some things you should know: 1.) The fact that you need both of your hands (and mine) to count how many people you've slept with does not impress me. I don't want to hear about it. 2.) I don't want your drama. I've been through more than enough to last me 2 lifetimes. Grow up and leave me out of it. 3.) I attend church every Sunday, unless I'm working (which seems to be every Sunday nowadays.) I love God. He's gotten me through a lot. 4.) I know how the world works. And I know how cruel it can be. Don't talk down to me. And don't act like just because I'm young, I don't know what's out there. The things I've experienced would surprise you. 5.) I honestly have no problems with homosexuality. They're just like us, only with different preferences. And if God is as merciful as The Bible makes him out to be, I'm sure he'll understand. 6.) A sin is a sin. Don't judge me for something I do when you sin, too. God sees all sins - and us - as equals. And only he can judge me. 7.) It takes a lot to earn my trust. If you break it, you'll probably never get it back. 8.) My friends and family are the most important people in my life. I would be nothing without them. Mess with them, and you mess with me. 9.) I don't get along with most girls. So when you see me with a big group of guys, it's not because I'm a slut. (Quite the opposite. At nearly 20 years old, I'm still a virgin, and I plan to stay that way until marriage.) It's because they're mostly drama-free, and 98% of the time, won't stab me in the back. 10.) I don't know what I want to do with my life just yet. I'm working on it. 11.) I'm the furthest thing from conceited. I'm not a fan of myself by any means. But I know who I am, I know what I'm capable of, and I know what I can handle. Don't try to persuade me otherwise. 12.) I'm relatively nice, and I can probably make you smile. Wasn't voted Class Clown of the class of '09 for no reason! :) That is all... Much love, Lauren |
