Why hello there!

1. My name is Lauren Michele Duffy. I hate my middle name, and a lot of people call me by my last name. I also have received forty or so nicknames over the years. The most creative/my favorite include: "Double Duff Oreo," "the Duffinator," "Ducky," and "Duff the Magic Dragon."

2. I play soccer and have played just about every other

sport at some point. I'm hoping to play soccer in college some day because I can't imagine my life without it and I just enjoy it.

3. Not only do I play sports, but I love watching them too. I usually go to as many football games as I can during the fall because I think it's the most exciting sport to watch. Fall is my favorite season because my birthday is often the first day of fall, and because of the high school sports played in the fall.

4. I LOVE old movies. Carey Grant, Katharine Hepburn,

Audrey Hepburn, Bing Crosby, and Fred Astaire are my favorite actors (and actresses) of all time. Some of my favorites are: His Girl Friday, White Christmas, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Bringing Up Baby, Holiday Inn, and a lot more. I have always wished I could live in the time period that all of these movies were made, minus

a lot of the smoking they did.

5. I have a sister who is 6 years older than me and we are complete opposites. She is a short, pale, very dark and curly haired super skinny person. And she was in the SCAPA program at Lafayette for art. I,personally, have zero artistic ability although I really enjoy taking pictures. I take pictures of random things just to entertain myself. This is why my absolute favorite website is: http://www.flickr.com/explore/ The pictures that people post on here are often amazing and I sometimes post too.

6. I LOVE JACK JOHNSON. I'm slightly obsessed with him. Not in the creepy bieber-fever-esque way, but I really respect him for what he tries to do for the environment, charities, music, and the world in general. My favorite songs by him are: rodeo clowns, cookie jar, and... too many to list. I have four of his CDs in my car and I'm going to buy another one soon. And in the near future I hope to go to one of his concerts for the second time.

Okay, I think I've pretty much exhausted most of my semi-interesting list of favorites. I was going to move on to talk about my summer, but it was pretty dull. I went to camp for one week the week after school ended, and I was a counselor at that camp for another week a few weeks later. Other than that I went to two funerals, saw a grand total of 5 friends (not including camp) the entire summer. Of course, I also had lots of soccer this summer. Even before I had soccer, I was working

out almost every day to prepare for it. Well, now I've bored myself. SO.

That is all.
