My name is Lauren. I'm 22 years old.
I was born in a medium-sized town in East Texas. For some reason, fate brought me to Austin, where I go to school at UT. Though my days are soaked in beauty, I hope to God that these are not the "best" years of my life.
I've been blogging for about four years. I started out with an Easyjournal that has since been deleted for personal reasons, then moved on to Blogger, where I wrote Pink Post-Its Online obsessively for the better part of three years. When I decided I wasn't going to quit writing anytime soon, I bought some webspace, invested some time, and Oodleday.com was born.
My blog mainly exists to help me keep my head together and I have no illusions of being a brilliant writer with a unique point of view, but I try to keep it somewhat entertaining, so I hope you enjoy it. I tend to write about my everyday life, the perils of being a twentysomething, things I'm mentally chewing over and weird things that happen to me.
I love TiVo, Alamo Drafthouse, bad movies, good mojitos, commercials, traveling, rap battling, celebrity gossip, Manhattan, Project Runway, Top Chef (Hell, anything on Bravo), baking, singalongs, red shoes, cover songs and Conan O'Brien. I want to marry Sufjan Stevens. I say "dude" a lot.
