That's What She Said.

About

Yep. That's what I said.

About Me

My name is Lauren (A.K.A. Laurena De Lune-Thank you Macy, Bramble-Don't ask, Honey Bunches of Oats, Ren, Son, Laurena, and probably more that I just can't remember right now.) and I am eighteen years old. I love to read and write. That's pretty much what I do all the time. I love to make jewelry, which is kind of a little side business that I do. (Check out my shop! It's down there... Um... just imagine a downward pointing arrow.)
I am currently working on several stories, at least one of which I am determined to finish. One is already novel length, and I would love, love, LOVE to get it published. As soon as I finish re-writing it, and fixing all the crappy parts...
I have a mom, a dad, five brothers, and one sister. All of whom I love dearly. Most of the time.
My favorite colors are blue, yellow, and green.
I enjoy sewing, crocheting, embroidery, and a bunch of different kinds of needlework and crafts. I'm a bit of a dork that way.
My dream (besides publishing a novel) is to own a small boutique somewhere, and sell my own clothing designs.
Fashion design is career preference. Ever since I was little, I have loved making clothes and things, whether it be for my sister, my dolls, or my sisters dolls.
I am obsessed with the 1950's. I love everything about that decade. The music, the clothes, the jewelry, the TV shows... It was all pretty great.

Anyways. That's me in a coconut shell. =]

What I’m listening to: I’m actually not listening to anything right now… I’m watching Spiderman. Good movie. :]

What I was doing five minutes ago: Driving home and drinking a half-price cranberry limeade from Sonic. I love Happy Hour.

One thing I did today: I slept over at my best friend, Leah’s house last night. But after midnight it’s considered today right? Anyways. So one of our friends came over and just hung out with the two of us until like, two in the morning. We watched Phantom of the Opera and just chilled. It was way fun. Okay so we didn’t actually WATCH the movie, persay, but it was on. We actually spent most of the time goofing off. Austin is the kind of guy anyone can talk to about anything. Seriously. ANYthing. He decided to share a pretty nasty random fact with us to prove that he was a nerd. I so didn’t want to know it. Ew.

Anyways… So since that was after midnight, it counts as something I did today. Because I really didn’t do much else.

Suggestion/Recommendation: The book Fairest by Gail Carson Levine (author of Ella Enchanted). It’s super good. Here is the description from Amazon:

“Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be pretty …

Aza’s singing is the fairest in all the land, and the most unusual. She can “throw”t her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza doesn’t possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She’s hidden in the shadows in her parents’ inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the new queen, she has to step into the light—especially when the queen demands a dangerous favor. A magic mirror, a charming prince, a jealous queen, palace intrigue, and an injured king twine into a maze that Aza must penetrate to save herself and her beloved kingdom.”

I totally recommend this book. It’s a new take on the classic fairy tale Snow White. I will admit that it isn’t as good as Ella Enchanted, but it’s still awesome. Gail Carson Levine is amazing.

Food for thought: If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking. (George S. Patton)
