a nutshell.

It has occurred to me that in order for you to understand not only my posts but how I relate to them, you must first know a little about me, no? 

WAIT- don't leave yet, no need to worry, I'm not about to type up my life story along with an in-depth psychological essay on my inner workings.  

Lets face it: where did I go to primary school? What was my first pet? Do I like pudding? 

You don't know. 

You don't care. 

So lets pretend that while bumbling around your local library you come across a dictionary, and not just any dictionary- but a magical (its pretend, just go with it) dictionary that contains definitions of everyone on earth. Epic right? Well obviously the first thing you're gonna do is look me up. 

As, Bs, Cs, Ds, bla bla bla, okay Ls- laura, laurel, AH:

Lauren {female} (lar-en or lor-en)(noun):

 Average height, fair skinned, brunette, dark brown eyes. Texan, born and raised. Second year at SMU as of fall 2012. Oldest sibling of three. Quiet, observant, reader, artist, people watcher, dreamer, christian, simplistic, complicated, content, nostalgic, fanatic, obsessive, educated, loyal, dedicated, perfectionist. 

Lover of fine art, fine dining, fine places & fine people.

(a.) for more information see: {actual person}

That wasn't so bad was it? Now you know enough about me to see an outline of the person behind the keypad, on the other hand I know nothing about any of you. Which is, in fact, quite creepy.

So there it is- me in a nut shell. A very sparse and simplistic nutshell that has many holes, but still. 

As you read feel free to make whatever you wish of me. Treat me like a mystery to be unraveled through every bit of information. Like some crazy person whose blog you don't know why you're reading. Or even like a character in a book, and make up your own ideas of what I'm like. 

But for now my anonymous audience, I must bid thee adieu.

Warmest of regards,

Lauren  

{and yes} i do like pudding
