Hey, my name's Laura. I'm a student at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in Language & Linguistics. I speak English (no kid eh?), French, Spanish, and have taken courses in Japanese, Latin, German, and Italian. The language I'd love to learn most is Serbian, so I can finally talk to my grandma.

More cool things for your blog at Blogthings Hmmmm ya think they just chose these to boost my ego?! (I took it out, but it also said I looked a lot like John Cusack...... though he's got a pretty face, I'm not sure I feel comfortable looking like him!) Look at this though. Technically through me, Beyoncé and Amanda Peet look alike..... and I don't care how much you try, that just ain't happenin. lol

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People from different backgrounds, with interesting stories who would like to make friends, my friends (I'd like to talk to them on here, anyway), anyone interested in learning about things I'm interested in. I like silly people, and people who surprise you with funny random comments.
I thank Steve for making this game postable.
