I am Lauren Marie :3 I lived in CA my whole life, until Aug. 2005, we moved to TX for my mom's job transfer. :( I'm a friendly, open person. I don't like liars; those that do are ignored. ** I am attending a community college to knock out core classes and I am hoping to go toa 4-yr college and study graphic design, or possibly photography. I love it! Mostly, this is why I've joined here, for BenchMark, in order to try and earn some scholarships. ^_^ (Which doesn't seem like it's going to work out anyway, but to meet you all here is fine enough as well). :D Anything else? Add, and Ask.
