The name is Laurie. I'm 21 years old, a college student, and I'm from Indiana, USA. I'm a self-proclaimed geek, with my obsessions including (but not limited to) Star Wars, The Office, LotR, hockey, musicals, Harry Potter, John Mayer, Howie Day, and movies in general.

My dream job would be something film related.  Someday I'll be a big, famous film director/producer/editor with a posse and a limo and a big, big house with a bazillion cats in the Beverly Hills area. Well... maybe not in Beverly Hills... perhaps in England somewhere? Or I could do what Johnny Depp did and move to France... yeah, I think that's what I'll do... I'll move right next to him, with ten feet separating our respective mansions, and then, when he's feeling lonely (for whatever reason), I'll just have to.. *ahem* cheer him up a bit. *nudge, nudge, wink wink* But if that doesn't work out like I plan, I'll move to New York City and marry John Krasinski. But, alas, if he's taken by that time, I'll settle for a little John Mayer lurvin'.  I tend to fall for guys with the first name of "John."  But he's dating Jessica Simpson now (apparently), so... it looks like I'm doomed.  Oh well.  There's always plenty of hockey players around.  I'm sure I can nab one of them.  :)

I've been a beta reader over at Checkmated (http://www.checkmated.com) for quite awhile (at least 3 years).  I'm a grammar/punctuation Nazi, so feel free to e-mail me sometime if you need a beta reader!

P.S.  I'm known as "WhatAboutBreakfast" on fanfiction.net.  I tend to leave long reviews.  LOL
