My name is Laur, but you can call me... Laur.
I like looking at stars, walking in graveyards, hugging trees, discussing Harry Potter, singing songs from musicals, and reading books. Small pleasures, as they say!
Generally I'm a pretty happy person! My friends are amazing. My family are amazing. Life is pretty snazzy at the minute.
To sum me up, I'm pretty much a big geek:
Harry Potter.
Dr Who.
Torchwood.
LOTR.
Musicals.
Tim Burton.
I'm a fan of spontaneity. Especially when it makes people smile.
:)
My favourite things also include semi-colons.
& going to the theatre.
& trees.
=)
If I could be anyone in the world for a day, I'd be Julie Andrews or Helena Bonham Carter.
Must also mention EELS. The singular most amazing band on earth. I love them I love them I love them.
"Fitting in with the misfitts;
Living in the lost and found;
And I will never be afraid;
For lost souls don’t know where they’re bound..."

Mark Oliver Everett is a genius.

Your mind is your biggest canvas; how many colours do you use?

"One day in twenty years time i'll hear that you've founded a small island off the coast of Russia, married David Bowie's son, written a biography, 24 novels and a collection of short stories and be proud. Ahh."
PS. I TOLD YOU SNAPE WASN'T EVIL.
& Neville Longbottom is a hero.
...and the world spins madly on.
