I am Lauren and I was born into a life of sordid debauchery. I was a soulless fool, turning corner after corner and never finding my destination. That was until I found writing.
Ha, not really. Nothing so exciting.
I'm a geeky, unaccomplished sort who'll always deny it. I like reading immensely and writing also. I like walking the English coast and wish I could go travelling but never do. I want to be an author but I'll probably never suceed, so meanwhile I'll mope about and write angsty short stories and pretend to be satisfied.
I am also about the shiest, awkwardest person you shall ever encounter.

No, the rabbits in this pet store eat only hay and rabbit food, not carrots.
And the birds are too high up and caged in to happen to maim me.
Though I have to disgress cleaning out the guinea-pigs is getting annoying; they're so messy for such small creatures!
And the birds are reaaly noisy. I keep getting a repulsive mixture of bird seed and feathers in my hair [as I clean out the furries; they're above me and keep breaking out in squabbles and stuff...]
Whooa, you call them Gonks? That's a sweet name. I just call them...trolls. You shouldn't have gotten rid of your collection--then you could've given em to me. Hee hee. I'm going to be one of those ninety year old women who has trolls everywhere and wears troll earrings and scares all the younguns away.

Lauren, it seem you are being indecisive about your avatar.
Or, you were, and now have decided.
Just saying this in passing, because the one you had before the picture you have on your avatar now was weird. Were you very bored?

I am forcibly reminded of you in being a horse when you [or anyone] use the word 'shiest'.
You know, as in when horses shy? As a human might, when confronted, or insecure?
Oh, never mind.
