So, you want to know about me? Well, that is a loaded question. But since I am co-captain of this delicious spot, I shall put on the line and reveal my secret identity.
*rips off mask*
The name that everyone can still refer to me as is either Laurencia or L7...or as my Cheery calls me Momma P. I love that nick name. But the true identity of Laurencia is, Leigh.
The funny story behind my pseudonym is, I always wanted my name to be Lauren growing up. But it wasn't. So I decided to 'Greek' it up and add 'cia' the number 7 came later. Unfortunately if you Google "Laurencia" you will get some pictures of red sea weed but oh well, live and learn.
I was born and raised in New York State, outside the city. Though my grandmother was born and raised in the Bronx. It rubbed off on me. I am a Italian American Third generation immigrant. Fogetta bout it!
My mother fell in love with a hippie, my "Dad" and thus the love child happened 7 years later. That was of course after he dated my first cousin, then my mom...I told you it was weird.
Being the cliff notes version of my life story, my "dad" died when I was five. I never knew much about him, and have 4-5 memories of him. My mother raised me alone, until she got married to a not so very nice man.
I have many relatives, but most of them I don't keep in contact with because life at the moment is one thing after another. But they are never far from my thoughts.
I work at a local TV station, shhhh. With some local News celebs. It is a part-time deal but it is fun. Just tonight I was off shooting sports, for the basketball sectionals. The job is just a networking stepping stool for more consistent work in a real production company.
TV was my life, and nature. I was an only child so it was my companion most of the time, and both my dad and grandmother were addicted to it too. So I made it my career. It has its ups and downs, but I love what I do, and at the end, that is what counts.
Photography is my hobby/life...and ask me anything about computers, I would probably be the slight nerd to ask. All the nerds at work are in love with me, possible stalker boy there too :G
I border on the philosophical side, though I failed that class in college and it really brassed me off that I did. I should have taken that poetry class!
I have to be in the mood to write, but when I am, as you can see...I do.
I wear my heart on my sleeve, which gets me in trouble. But I decided a long time ago, if I was afraid to show and say how I felt it would hurt more. So I continue to be open and honest with anyone who gets to know me. That's what you get with me, honesty, loyalty, and a super hero if you need me.
My favorite color is Blue, it has a calming effect on me. Can't explain it, just does. I prefer Asian inspired art, and my room looks like a cross between Asian culture, and Florida Beach life, and uhum *shrugs* some dirty clothes. :p
My beliefs are simple. I believe if you are good, and your heart is good, good things happen to you. It took me a LONG time to come to this, and long road where I thought the world really didn't care. But I can finally see myself getting back to the girl I always wanted to be.
My Birthday...aww yes, is March 12th! 12 being a lucky number in my family, my mother was born Dec 12th. Which makes me a Pisces, just like Cheery. Stay tuned for our week long Birthday bash next week!
Friendship is key with me, possibly because I moved randomly during my high school years. I made many new friends but never forgot the ones behind, and to this day would do anything for them. This can be good and bad, but it is just who I am. The most loyal friend to have in your corner, at least I try to be.
Writing has never been hard for me, but speaking my mind, that is a whole 'nother story. I usually take a while to warm up to someone, but once I do, I hope they know I am there completely.
I recently had only one great love story in my life, with a old friend, a boy who at the age of four gave me my first kiss. At the time I was 5 and thought he had cooties...but after we recently reconnected, we both felt a spark.
Unfortunately for me, he had been in a string of bad relationships and wasn't ready for what I was willing to offer...and thus I lost my good friend.
I still miss him, but hoping one day, he will remember me fondly. Though I wish he would stop invading my dreams! Get a life Steve! LOL
Well, that was way more than you wanted to know, and yet only half of the story that is my life. If my life was a book, someone would read it.
So that is what you get with old "L" honesty, compassion, sarcasm, and a gun. Useless factoids about TV, and my heart on my sleeve.
Did I mention I stay up way too late?
*Welcome aboard TC*
Hope this can be a hang out for all of you to just be friends, and be silly.
