I don't know why anyone would be reading about me, but I always get agitated when people don't write a proper biography, and I'd hate to be a hypocrite.

My name is Lauren, but I answer to Lorenzo, Lor, Laurencia, Ohnay, Dr. Watson, Big L, and Laureney. I regret to say that I live in Wisconsin, a cold state known for making cheese. How fun. My town is tiny, only 2,731 people (there are more cows than people!), and it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm probably one of the laziest people you'll meet which is why I hardly ever update. I've played piano for 9 years now, love to play badminton, love to ride bike, and am interested in history, languages and science. I love to read and wish I could write. I'm loud and have an annoying laugh. I tend to ramble on a lot. I'm a very mellow person who just happens to talk all the time. My iPod's name is IchaPod. Very rarely can you find me without him. I love breath mints. They are my drug of choice. Speaking of drugs, I sell them as a part time job. The legal kind, of course. I'm mainly a lurker, but I'll write you a review if I like your story. Although, sometimes it takes too much effort... I like giving longer reviews explaining WHY your story was amazing rather than just saying it was amazing, and seeing as I'm so long winded, reviewing a story can take me longer than writing one!

Jonathan Safran Foer's books are my inspiration to feel more. In life and in writing. Read his books, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. You will be healed in places you didn't know were hurting. And they are way better than anything I've ever written. Including this bio. ...So why are you still reading it?
