Lauren May Block

Hullo, the name is Lauren, but I guess you could call me Laurie (on a good day). I'm twenty years old and currently making my way through life as a college student.

Everyone who knows me will be able to say that I'm conceited, rude, inconsiderate, and moody, but that I'm also pretty clever, confident, fun, and talented. They'd warn you that I love arguements, lattes, romance novels, musicals, shoes and that I loathe PMS, boredom, judgemental people, confusion, and slacking off.

I don't really know how to sum me up in 250 words. I would declare myself easy maintenance, but I know that isn't true. I'm pretty high maintenance, but no one's perfect, right? Well, that's the thing - I like things done my way and my way is right. There's no use in arguing with me half the time, I'll probably end up winning. I'm a pretty competitive person if I do say so myself. I strive for excellence. I don't think that's a terrible thing. I have a way with words. I can minipulate people if I have to. Again, I strive for greatness, and there isn't anything I won't do to get what I want. I'm not a very shy person. I say what's on my mind, and I say it to your face. I'm a direct person. I don't care if I hurt your feelings. I am pretty intimidating, and I'll admit that. It takes a lot to handle me, which explains why I'm not tighed down... yet. I'm picky, but that's just me. I'm not all that bad though, I'm pretty normal. I may be a little arrogant at times, but I'm not a full out bitch. I know I have flaw. I can be insecure too, I'm just good at hiding it. There's so much more to me than what the eye can see. You can't judge a book by it's cover.

In summary. I'm witty, talkative, out-going, chatty, a little annoying at times, but who isn't? I'm smart, clever, sly, alarming, honest, truthful, bitchy, charming... I'm Lauren Block.

Hell. What else is there to say...? I'm the eldest of 2 and often people tell me I look like Leighton Meester, but I consider that to be a little farfetched, don't you think...?

I was born and raised in San Fransisco, California. Yeah, that's right, all the way back in the west coast. I don't know why I wanted to move to Boston. I think I wanted change, the people maybe... I don't know. California was never my style. Everyone's so easy going there which is great if you want serenity and to be carefree, but I don't live like that. I need structure which is what California lacks.

I've only found one person was ever as insane as I was. We were always running around and doing insane stuff. I was crazy with him. His name was Chad Hurley and he was my rock. That was, until, August 19th - his 17th birthday. The day he decided that for his birthday he'd take my virginity.

I was 15 at the time. I was too young to understand anything, but I thought that I was in love with him. I knew it, it was that feeling that you got after reading a Jane Austen novel. It was true. I knew it. What I didn't know, however, was if I was ready or not. He gave me an ultimatum. I decided that it was worth it. I didn't want to lose him. I couldn't lose him.

I lost him the next day. He said that he preferred virgins and that I was some dumb whore for sleeping with him. I had to get away after that, and then and there I decided that some place in the east coast would be perfect.

After working my ass off for 4 years, I got into Boston University. I currently major in Journalism and minor in photography. I was going to get a job at a local cafe, but I really didn't have enough time for that or the energy honestly. Plus, isn't the whole college experience about living off 7 dollars a week? Exactly.

In short, my name is Lauren Block and I've been screwed over. So I guess I'm like everyone else.
