My name is Lauren.

I like a lot of things.

Like writing. Duh.

I'm 17, and I'm a senior in high school. You know what sucks? I'll still be 17 when I graduate. Because my birthday is in (late) June.

I plan on going to a currently unknown college for photography/art. And then I don't know. I want to be a fashion photographer when I grow up.

Even though I don't think I'll ever grow up.

I live in Massachusetts with my father and sister. My mother lives in Arizona. Yes, I have divorced parents. No, I am no longer angry at either of them; no, it doesn't bother me; no, I don't miss the period of time when they were together; no, I do not blame myself for their seperation; yes, I have a therapist because of the divorce; and no, I don't need therapy.

Anymore.

I do most of my writing in school, or on weekends/during the summer it gets done between the hours of 12-5 in the morning. Because no, I don't have a job. No, I don't have my license. No, I don't have a life. But yes, I have friends, and some of the coolest in the world.

When I'm not writing, I'm taking pictures, editing them, or drawing.

But mostly taking pictures.

I love listening to other people's problems, friend or otherwise. I love giving out advice, even when I have no idea if it will work.

I love music. Without it, I would probably be dead. No lie. Do not judge me by my music taste, as I do not stick to one genre. Some of my favorite bands include: Green Day, Kings of Leon, Cake, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Pillows, Jimi Hendrix, Squeeze, The Kin, Spoon, Jay-Z, City Sleeps, Blink 182, Flogging Molly, Shiny Toy Guns, Mika, Elvis Costello, Anna Tsuchiya, The Hives, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Killers, Mickey Avalon, Mindless Self Indulgence, She Wants Revenge, Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, Sublime, The Dresden Dolls, Tenacious D, Ingrid Michaelson, The Donnas, The Ramones, and you know, a tonsss more.

Some of my favorites movies: Hard Candy, The Boondock Saints, Sweeney Todd, Harispray, Rent, Super Troopers, Juno, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man (yeah, whatever-Robert Downey Jr. is fiiiiine.) The Phantom of the Opera, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fight Club, Anchorman, Superbad-pretty much anything that has blood, gore, crude humor and language, and/or kickass music-original songs or otherwise. I'm a sucker for just about any musical.

Romantic comedies could pretty much go to hell and I wouldn't mind. :)

I am bisexual.

I swear too much.

I don't often remember my dreams, and when I do, I write about them.

I am super interested in lucid dreaming and I want to learn how. Badly.

I really love feedback and tips and let's face it, an ego boost every now and again. I won't bite your head off if you PM me randomly and I will most likely respond.

:D
