I suppose I'll welcome myself to Blogspot.

Hello, fellow bloggers.
My name is Lauren. I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and I adore music and literature.
I suppose it's about time that I FINALLY got a Blog. I mean, I love to talk, so why not type out what's always on my mind?

I guess I'll start with telling you all a little about myself..

I'm in High School, which is the epitome of boringness, and lack of originality.
Most students are just an army of mindless, self-conceited clones, who have never even heard of the name 'Oscar Wilde,' and who think the Twilight Saga is sophisticated writing.
I am not one of those people.
I've always found myself a little.. Off beat? Different? Unconventional?
I have never quite been alike to those of my own age.
I like to think of myself as my own person... But, in the end, am I regarded as a freak? A weirdo?
I would not find this surprising.
I've just never felt the abundant need to conform, and be like all the others.
At one point in time, I would like to imagine that it was actually a GOOD thing to be yourself. Be who you wanted to be, like what you wanted to like, and not have to worry about the dire consequences of being DIFFERENT.
In modern times, it is frowned upon to be your own true self.
Well, if I may quote Wilde, 'Society is corrupt.'
I've learned to cast these things away. If I want to like Led Zeppelin, I'll like Led Zeppelin! And if I want to belt out random songs from Moulin Rogue, so be it! Why is that such a bad thing?

So, I guess that's one thing about myself. I don't stand down to complete bullshit.

The most important thing in my life currently is music.
Words cannot express how much it means to me..
I find that I have a very ecliptic taste.
One moment, I could be listening to The Beatles. The next, I'll find myself blasting the White Stripes, or Death Cab for Cutie.
I hate mainstream. It is pure DEATH.
Why would I waste my time listening to pitiful songs about 'Being in da club," or how beautiful a stripper is, when I can listen to melodic tunes about relationships, heartbreak, or nature?
Life is much too short to waste your hearing on such atrocities. Instead of listening to what is popular, why don't kids listen to something they've never heard before? That is how I've found some of my own favorite bands.
I critique my friend's taste in music constantly. I've tried to teach many of them what good, real music is, but they really couldn't care less. This saddens me.

Another great factor of my life is probably literature.
Books.. Ah, where to start.
One word: Classics.
I simply adore all of the classics, from Shakespeare to Frost. From Bronte to Chaucer. The list goes on and on!
My favorite author of all time would probably have to be Oscar Wilde, though.
His words stir something in me... It is indescribable.
It's almost as if he knows exactly how to take my most complex thoughts, and turn them into something beautiful.
His outlook on life, and his time, can range from hilarious to simply depressing.
I've read all of his work, and my favorite is still 'The Picture of Dorian Gray."
How many times I've read that book! It's just delightful, horrific, and mind-boggling.
The things he can do with words...

I suppose that is really all one needs to know about me... Want to know more? Just ask.
