My Name is Lauren ...

  • i go for walks in the woods, i find feathers, i wear them in my hair.
  • i have an aquarian sun, capricorn moon and a 12th house north node in gemini.
  • i frequent the river or any place of natural water accumulation.
  • occupation: antique dealer, illustrator, dreamer
  • i go hiking a lot and am almost always on the brink of happily getting lost in the woods and never coming out.
  • i secretly wish i could get my entire body covered with tattoos, but i can't commit to an image i would be content with for the rest of my life.
  • i have no pain tolerance, so if i get hurt in any way, it hurts really bad (hence, another tattoo hinderance)
  • i am tolerant of all beliefs and i practice many.
  • i have never been on a train. If and when I do, I fantasize it to be a trip on The Darjeeling Limited.

Comment: Sorry Lauren, but I never got anything g, and you haven't been on SB since you clicked sent(which was late anyway). I'd love to get a zine from you, and would happily re rate.

Comment: so nice to receive your air-mail-envelope with all the stamps :-) That's "real mail". The envelope was torn at the left and the right side of the envelope. Be aware, you send fulnerable paper... Hope all your presents arived. The ones that did arrive (two adress labels, two pins, one flower postcard wit envelope) were absolutely liked by me. I will definitely use the adress labels for my next envies :-) Thanks Lauren!

          **ATTENTION SWAPPERS**

LAUREN is one of the best swappers on Swap-bot! I should know I swapped with her and I loved the experience!

Dear Lauren,

reading info about you made colorful pictures in my head. It is like light reflects from your profile. Very vivid and exciting and in the same time relaxing. I envy birdwatchers. I have no patience for anything. I would scare them immediately. I would scare bears let alone birds. :)

I will leave you with few quotes that you might like...

feather

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all. Emily Dickinson

The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks. Tennessee Williams

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world. Virginia Woolf

Frida

Georgia

Well Sounds as if you are a lot like me really..Only you are younger and a newer member so welcome to swapbot. If you read my profile you will see I love the wizard of oz and it is where my favorite quote comes from---"hearts will never be practical til made unbreakable" lildorothy (for the comment and quote swap)
