About Me

Lauren's Space :)

Well, let's see here. . .I'm a writer. I write books for (mainly) girlies, although a few super-cool boys read them, too. But, ya know, they sometimes have bright pink covers, which can be scary to the un-brave. I like to eat. I like to sleep. I *love* to read. And I'll never turn down chocolate, that's fo shizzle!

My Interests

Baking yummy (as opposed to un-yummy) cookies. (My dear friend Amber bakes cookies with flax seed in them, which I do not see the point of. Her daughter said to her one day, "But Mommy, have you ever tasted a *yummy* cookie? This, after having one of MY delicioso chocolate chip cookies.) Other interests: Reading--natch. And writing. :)

I'd like to meet:

People who like to read and talk about books! Yeah! Or people who want to tell me about their catty acquaintances, because I need details about catty girls for a story I'm currently working on. . . (Heh heh heh--just think, you can get your revenge on all the evil chickies out there by sharing their evilness with ME!)

Leave me a spifftacular comment.

Music:

Bring it ALL on, that's what I say.

Movies:

WELL, since ya asked: Harold and Maude and The Graduate are right up there at the top. I also really love Gregory's Girl, which a friend just reminded me of. Such a fun flick. And I *adore* Walk the Line. Ooo, and The Man in the Moon, which also stars that adorable Reese W! :)

Television:

Dudes, I like TV. There, I said it. Wish I had time to watch more. So, ahem, I watch "American Idol," "The O.C.," "Gilmore Girls," and "Related," and tell myself it's all research for my job. (I tell myself this about my subscription to People mag, too.) I also really like "House." Ooo, that Hugh Laurie is a gruff ol' doll. That reminds me, I had a dream about him last night. How random!

Books:

I'm not even gonna TRY to rank my faves, or even include a comphehensive list, because I love too many. That said, some of my *current* delights are:SKY BRIDGE, by Laura Pritchett BRAS & BROOMSTICKS, by Sarah Mlynowski LEAP DAY, by Wendy Mass THE BOYFRIEND LIST, by Emily Lockhart PRINCESS ACADEMY, by Shannon HaleYeb'm, that'll do for now!

Heroes:

My sweet husband Jack, who has the kindest gentlest brown eyes in the world. +mushy mushy mush mush+
