My girlfriend and I pretty much share the best sense of humor in the world.

My girlfriend is such a hottie, wow wow wow wow wow. Heart eyes forever.

My girlfriend is a goddess.

I was tagged by Emily & EmiLeigh. (Actual rule one: don't feel pressured to do this if you don't want to. But if this tickles your fancy, enjoy!) Rule 1: Always post rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked, And write ten new ones. Rule 3: Tag ten people and link them here. Rule 4: Tell them you tagged them. [Emily’s questions] 1. If you could put all your shit on hold and go somewhere, anywhere, for a week right now, where would you go and why?
I think Iceland, because I haven’t been there before and I’ve heard it’s beautiful. I’d also want to take my friend, because we’ve both been having a rough time in the relationship department and an adventure would be good for both of us. 2. Grab your nearest book, turn to page 12 and give us the 17th line.
"their abandonment. Or its people starving on the sidewalks, covered" (California by Edan Lepucki) 3. How many times have you watched Anaconda tho
Actually, zero. 4. Favourite flower or plant?
Sunflowers are my favorite flower. I think basil is my favorite plant- I like how harvesting it sustainably is kind of a puzzle- you have to look for the two buds that can regrow at the base of whatever you cut. And it is delicioussss. 5. Do you think the name you go by suits you? If no, why not? What would you rather go by?
I’ve gotten used to Lauren, even if I don’t necessarily think it suits me. I would maybe go by Lo but since I’m transitioning to using Chappell as my last name I’m going to get used to that first. 6. Tell me about the last time you felt jealous.
See text posts from this week. 7. Tell me about the last movie you cried in.
I saw Cowspiracy last week and there is a part where this duck farmer guy talks about how his dad raised rabbits and when he was younger it scarred him that his dad farmed them and then HE CHOPPED OFF THE HEAD OF A DUCK IN FRONT OF HIS KID. It was horrible. I sobbed. 8. Tell me about the best compliment you’ve received.
I’ve had a few people tell me with all sincerity that I’ve changed their life for the better, and that’s all I can hope for in the world. 9. When you read IKEA furniture names, do you attempt to actually read them even just in your head or are you just like yeah man not even gonna try that
None of that. 10. How do you feel about marriage, for yourself?
I hope to one day have a family. In my mind, that doesn’t necessarily require the legal contract of marriage, but it does require commitment, and I wouldn’t mind having a wedding. [EmiLeigh’s questions] 1. What is one song that represents your life as a whole right now?
Ready to Start by Arcade Fire. 2. What’s your most favorite activity to do outside?
I really like hiking when it’s a little chilly but not yet brisk and the sun is shining. 3. How often do you wash your bed sheets?
Bi-weekly.
4. What is your favorite book to read?
I re-read the Harry Potter series every year or so when I’m upset. 5. What do you feel the worst thing a human can do to another human?
Make them believe they don’t matter, or that they are the only person who matters. 6. What do you think is the best thing a human can do for another human?
Encourage them to be authentic & follow their dreams. 7. What is a talent most people don’t know you can do?
Uhmmm. I can collage? I don’t know if that counts as a talent, but I don’t think most people know that. 8. What is your favorite lyric?
Oh, gosh, so difficult. I think “Everything’s a piece of everyone” from Caves by Jack’s Mannequin. It reminds me that I’m a part of a bigger picture and that I don’t have to do everything by myself, and that everyone is a piece of the universe seen through their lens of experience, and I can’t judge that experience, I can only hope to be a part of it. 9. What is your favorite quote?
I don’t know if I have a favorite. I really like quotes, I have a whole notebook of them. My senior quote was “taking no chances means wasting your dreams.” 10. Do you have tattoos? If not, do you want tattoos?
I have seven tattoos. But I still want more. 11. What is your biggest accomplishment?
Still being here. Being where I am today. Not letting the black hole suck me in and spit me out the other side. Not letting other people define me. Questioning things and sifting through the answers using my own judgement as to what constitutes reality. [New questions] (1) If money was no object, would you get a tattoo tomorrow? What would you get? (2) What’s the last book you read? (3) What song describes your year so far? (4) How many hours have you spent on tumblr today? (5) What’s your idea of a perfect date? (6) Describe your first kiss? (7) What is something that makes you deliriously happy? (8) Who do you want to text you right now? (9) What’s your dream? What’s holding you back from realizing your dream? (10) How many times have you read the Harry Potter books? People:
