About Me

"Laura is a champion of the local music scene! If you go to a show, chances are you'll see her there!" - April Smith
"[Laura is] the best local band supporter in the universe!" - Justin of The Problem
"It's great when you come to shows, because everyone's doing this and this, sitting around on their cell phones, ordering at the bar, but you have the best reactions to what we're playing." - Chris Lucas
"Laura is the coolest human being walking the Earth; she's cooler than Gandhi because, unlike him, she doesn't drink her own urine - which, as you may know, is not what the cool kids do - the cool kids drink margaritas; Laura is hip and she's chiller than one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, thus Laura is the awesomest." - Hello Nurse
"You're the Super-Fan! We should clone you, and make a thousand of you, and then we can all be famous amongst the Laura-clones!" - Anthony Fiumano

I've never been one to say that I can sum myself up in a sentence or a paragraph or anything that involves typing definining information into a scrolling box of html, so I'm not going to start saying it now.
But, I will tell you this. I have enjoyed : music, live music, talking, listening, karaoke, jaeger, being goofy, dead baby jokes, and hanging out in empty parking lots in the middle of the night.
Now, I'm more into wines from small vineyards, beer-snobbery, Helen Keller jokes, and hanging out in recording studios in the middle of the night. And sleeping. I heart sleeping.
Also, I am a short-term double-fister. Haha. And have a bad habit of taking pictures of myself in bathrooms. No, not going to the bathroom, just in bathrooms. Like my bathroom in my house. Or in bar bathrooms. I don't know why. It's a strange habit.
Otherwise, I guess what you need to know about me is that I'm passionate about a lot of things, that I'm very energetic and enthusiastic, and my friends mean the world to me. If you want to know anything else, ask.
Note: If I don't know you in real life, I will not add you.I don't do that creepy-internet-stalker-thing, so don't waste my or your time. Also, I report unsolicited messages as spam. So pbllllt.
Oh, and, I will not add your crappy myspace band. If, for some reason, you really think I will dig your band, drop me a message. If you can't even read this much of my profile and just click "add," you will be denied. No ifs, ands, or buts about that. Thanks.

My Interests

life, sleep, weird movies, dreams, music, music, music, music, musicals, music, memories, inside jokes, jersey rock, dead baby jokes, parking lots, stockings, tights, fishnets, socks, candy buttons, necco wafers, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, making fake-handicapped parking spots, jaeger, finding the greater purpose.

I'd like to meet:

people who know who they are and what they want. Maybe not exactly, but at least have some idea of it. People with ambition, and not just dreams.

I'd also like to meet: people who love music so much that it devours their entire soul, and they need it more than they need oxygen.

I do NOT want to meet: People who are self-absorbed and whose outward personalities are so overly constructed with falsifications that they are simply fabricated vacuums of air. I also do not want to meet people who are so convinced of their importance that they post bulletins every two seconds. It's annoying, and I'll delete you faster than you can breathe.

Basically, I am a big fan of honesty. Be who you are, not who you want me to think you are. I'll like you better that way.
