About Me

I'm Lauren.

(but that's boring. friends/lovers call me Luar, Lasagna, Ms. Bright, Lauren Weasel, Laurenzo, LaLa, Liiiiiight Bright Brrrriiiiiight Light, Trick Daddy, Kink Girl, Lauren "The Posse" Bright.)
I enjoy reading sex scenes from romance novels out loud to my friends. I am extremely strong-willed and quite sarcastic. I've been told i have a very expressive face and i'm good at making people feel stupid. I also have the rather uncanny ability to turn any situation into an awkward one. It's funny. I have a passion for travel and photography. when I grow up i'm going to live in a motor home and travel all over the world. And take pictures of everything along the way. I don't like when others invade my personal space. That said, I play footsie a lot, usually beginning on accident. Trust me though, it's fun. Most girls frustrate me with their superficiality. And when it comes to drama, i have a zero tolerance policy. People find me to be intimidating when they don't know me. But really I'm quite nice. However, i have absolutely no patience for people with no common sense, and i will not waste my time in their company. I am very pragmatic although i do have a tiny part of me that is idealistic. I don't trust many people. I'm shy, but I think sometimes people mistake my quietness for me having nothing to say. Really i just appreciate being with people who don't find it necessary to talk all the time.
I like:
London, Chicago, H&M, UrbanOutfitters, AmericanApparel, boys who pick me up when we hug, whispered love, tea, German cars, late night phonecalls, being cheeky, random late night adventures, slip-ons, eating to the bursting point, french films, speaking spanish at random, yelling/hooting at pedestrians, tent rave parties, acting like an immature little kid in public, being from the South and the slight accent that goes along with it, kisses, pretending, cute gappy teeth, laughing until i cry, Ale8, reliving memories, reading, making fun of myself, hair cuts, taking photographs, dino blankie, driving in my car, girl talks
I dislike:
PEOPLE WITH ONLY CHILD SYNDROME!!!, physical distance, obnoxious drunks, losing faith in people, being cold, LIES, love triangles, unfaithfulness, mushrooms, dirty looking fake tans, people who purposely try to embarrass me, unreliability, hicks, smelly people, crazy girls, drama, awkward silence, BAD DRIVERS, people with skanky breath, waking up, being called too young, Fall Out Boy [i HATE them!], clingy people, naivety, ignorance, loneliness, whores, people who copy me!
