Is it live or is it Lauren?

About Me

On the 9th day God created Lauren...On the 10th he created ear plugs.
"I will go to my grave with the love that I gave. You're just a melody live on the radio wave...it dissapates, soon evaporates." - John Mayer
So more recently I moved in with Tom in our new apartment in SE, near the Ross Island Bridge next to the Aladdin Theatre. It's been so great getting out of the studio apartment and having so much more space, and living with Tom has been pretty cool too. Him and Leroy are getting along alright, but they still have their communication difficulties (as in, Leroy wants to communicate by meowing like crazy and it drives Tom nuts). This summer I'm taking a couple classes and working almost full-time at Helen Gordon, and its been great working so much and being in the classroom almost all day. And I've finally finished my bike so Tom and I can cycle along the Eastbank Esplanade we now live so close to. I have almost the whole month of September off while work is closed for inservice, so I'll have a lot of time to cycle, run, and sleep in.
I laugh a million times a day, and this keeps me sane.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
