Freedom stretching ahead for the next 3 1/2 months... Bring it on!

About Me

Im Lauren.
I won't waste time deluding myself that a great long list of likes and dislikes ,('I like cotton wool, lazy mornings, green - not yellow smarties' etc. I don't actually care)will be read by anyone, even my closest friends, so no ego trip here. Just a concise list of stuff that is ace, and stuff that is not so.
STUFF THAT IS ACE
My friends (You know who you are and you fucking rule)
Music (See left)
My degree (Law)
Living in London (Even if it is the ghetto)
Driving fast (Yep, even in a Yaris, I plan on upgrading as soon as the bank balance allows... Hello R32 :-D)
Coffee (Lifesblood)
MY JOB FOR NEXT YEAR! HURRAH!
Sleep
STUFF THAT IS NOT SO
Not seeing Sheffield friends enough (Damn you Midland Mainline)
Having no money (Student, what do you expect?)
Only seeing my Dad 4 times a year (Although Marbella is good for holidays and cheap fags)
The toy dept at Selfridges (Don't ask)
Food poisoning from Oysters (damn you Borough Market)
Winter weather (No, I don't like it 'crisp' I like it hot)
