Well, here I am... Lauren, alias righter. Where to begin? With me, I think.
I live and breathe poetry. At least I like to think I do. That might be an overstatement. I saw a quote recently that said: "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." Beautiful, yes... but me? Maybe.
I tend to be fascinated by people. Not to suggest that I'm that creepy girl that stares at everyone, but I really learn the most about human nature by watching the people around me. Sometimes, I feel bad when I catch someone in a private moment, when they think nobody's looking. Looking at people in such a vulnerable state can be scary... it's like walking through a closed door without knocking. Or something.
I have a passion for acting. It is something I can feel, something I can lose myself in so completely. There's so much value in that, I think, to be able to just *poof* be somebody else, look out through somebody else's eyes, in a sense. In life, my goal is to always always be completely myself, but on stage or on camera my goal is to forget myself.
I am a staunch liberal.
These elections are crazy.
But more on that later.... I need to wake up too early to get started.
