About Me

i'm laurie, also known as smudge/smudger/smudgette, lorenzo, tiny, the law man, small one, ugly, tails, swift rodent, dennis, L-Unit, PJs, le smut and cuntfeatures, depending on the company i'm in. i'm 21, and i'm a student at strathclyde uni in glasgow studying law and french, just back from living in France, and missing the good weather but not the French people. Except for Lionel and co.
i use bebo. talk to me there. myspace is no longer my friend. of course, you still are. i love you.
i no longer work in fopp because it is gone. i'm all alooone. there's no-one here beside meee... i miss my job.
i enjoy partaking in random abuse and falling asleep. i love mr tourette. see 'interests' for more things i like, it's a fascinating read.
i have been known to drink copious amounts of alcohol and make an arse of myself in public. i often go to gigs. sometimes i do both of these things simultaneously. these are my fondest memories.
i tell shitty jokes. nobody can possibly out-shitty joke me. i have often been told that i'm a man trapped in a woman's body, which is true. i am an end of a leg if ever there was one, and very modest.
i make random remarks like 'i wish i was that bag' or 'it just tastes wet' which people seem to find amusing even though i was deadly serious. and i am obsessed with spelling and grammar, see blogs.
my favourite people in the world are (in no particular order) craig, claire, dave, nina, jen, disco stu, chumba, mark (yaldi4life), dan, kirsty, gav, faichney, ross, dale and of course the fopp steady crew... I MISS YOU ALREADY!!
alas, i have run out of things to say about myself. now wasn't that fun?!
