What You Really Want To Know:
Hi. I’m Lauren. I tried writing this bio in third person,
but it
seemed weird. I’m twenty-six. I write books. Here are
some things
about me:
* My favorite reality show is Newlyweds. I know, Nick and
Jessica broke
up, whatever. I still love the show.
*One time I tried out for a reality TV show, and I didn’t
make it.
* When I told my boyfriend I was writing a section of my
website that was
“what you really want to know” he was like, I CAN
WRITE IT! Um, no.
*My favorite book is CATCHER IN THE RYE.
* I say the word “scandalous” a lot. It appears
all over the place in
REALITY CHICK, and my editor made me cut a lot of them.
* In real life, I am not scandalous at all.
* I have two sisters. I’m the oldest.
* My favorite drink is Diet Coke with Lime.
* My favorite color is pink.
* I love the New York Yankees. I plan on marrying Derek Jeter.
As soon
as I have the chance to meet him, this plan will be put into
action.
* I love college basketball. The Syracuse Orangemen are my
favorite
team.
* I love pop music. I don’t care if this makes me a
dork. I also love
Gavin DeGraw, Vertical Horizon, Nine Days, Matchbox Twenty,
Lifehouse,
and The Goo Goo Dolls.
* I refuse to dance in public, but sometimes I have dance
parties in my
room, by myself, while listening to previously mentioned pop
music.
Destiny’s Child and Christina Aguilera are favorites.
* If you want to know anything else, you can email me and
I’ll probably tell you.
