My name is Lauren and I am a tiny collection of organic molecules, living on a speck of dust caught in a sunbeam in a quaint corner of an average galaxy.

I like books, writing, space, science, puns, ships (the nautical kind), swords and fantasy, mythology, and all kinds of general geekery.

"The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. The entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world."
