Tagged by the lovely @sassafras--manson and @sea-wolfe to do 15 questions and tag 15 friends. (This only took me like a month to actually do, ha).

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nah. My parents just thought Lauren was a nice, not too common name. Which is funny because I went to school with several other Laurens, and our neighbor down the street had the same first and middle name as me.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Last weekend my closest friend came to visit, and I cried then out of happiness.

3. Do you have kids?

I don't and don't have plans to. It just feels like too much for me.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I currently do not play sports. I did gymnastics for like a week when I was young and maybe 8 years of dance lessons. Oh! I also did cheerleading for a couple years in elementary school(?), which if you know me at all is bizarre to think about. My constant critique was that I was too quiet. Which, yes. I have always been a mouse.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

No, definitely not. 😏

6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?

Their clothes. Not in a judgemental way, but I do think you can tell some things about people by what they put on their bodies. I also really enjoy complimenting people on their clothing, so I'm usually looking out for that.

7. Eye color?

Blue

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Probably happy endings. I like scary movies, but I can be particular about them, and I definitely have to be in the mood.

9. Any talents?

I had to think too long about this one. I don't know if they are talents, but I have hobbies, for sure. I draw, paint, take pictures, embroider, I'm getting very into clothing mending.

Also, I do have a miraculous talent of forgetting so much about the books I read.

10. Where were you born?

Amish country, Pennsylvania

11. Hobbies?

Oh damn. I didn't realize this was its own question. I love reading, hiking, and planting things in the yard/doing yard walks to stare at the plants.

12. Any pets?

A cat named Kubrick, a dog named Hugo, and 2 chickens (one of which is named Tortellini, and the other is sadly, unnamed)

13. Height?

5’2" (on a good day)

14. Favorite school subject?

I loved my english and art classes. College wise I really liked my random electives - Death & Dying, Religion & Sexuality, Earth Ethics (which was more in line with my major but still an elective)

15. Dream job?

Tending to a garden for no one but me. Not working and instead being able to volunteer for things I care about on my own time.

I do really enjoy my job, and I'm in the field I wanted to be in, but all work is work.

tag 15 ppl

Only if you want to! I don't know 15 people.

Each time you happen to me all over again

“It’s a lot of fuss over nothing, a lot of silly nonsense and fretting, and I can hardly countenance that you’ve let them all convince you, Dr. Foster,” Mrs. Manson Mingott said, as if she hadn’t been saying something similar since he’d arrived. He could tell, if none of her servants and family could not, that despite her attempt at asperity she was fearful, a state she was unaccustomed to, and that allowed him to take a breath and modulate his tone, instead of responding with a completely exasperated exclamation.

“You. Had. A. Stroke,” he said, pausing between each word in some vain hope that she might accept his diagnosis. She was possibly his most difficult patient and it was not unusual for him to look back on his time in Alexandria with a fond nostalgia after a house-call paid to her at her vast brick mansion overlooking the park. “Call it an apoplexy if you wish, it’s all the same and the consequences are unchanged. You must begin to take my advice or the next time your family send for me, there will be nothing I can do.”

“How brusque you are!” she replied. “To speak to me so—”

“You retain me as your personal physician for just that reason, madam,” he said. “You know I have too much respect for you to prevaricate.” Rude was what Mary would have called him, had she heard the exchange, frank and ill-advised and would have reminded him of the woman’s frailty. But she would have smiled as she said it and reminded him he’d survived four years with Miss Hastings, he might do well to curb his tongue with Mrs. Manson Mingott as he’d managed with the former paragon of the Crimea.

“You’re no sycophant, I’ll give you that,” the older woman said, pursing her lips and shrugging her shoulders. “Though a little of the famed Southern charm wouldn’t go amiss.”

“I’m afraid that is reserved for ballrooms and barbecues, not your sickbed. Will you take the tonic I leave for you and follow my instructions regarding your diet?” he said.

“I cannot survive on consommé and that foul sassafras concoction,” she said.

“You cannot survive without them,” he replied. “Another four-course dinner with petit fours and canards a la Rouennaise will finish you off. And you cannot think to restore yourself with a good burgundy.”

“You speak like an epicure,” she said, with more reflection than accusation in her tone. “I should not have thought the table of a Bostonian matron would groan so.”

“Mrs. Foster would only take offense at your assuming her to be a Bostonian, when she is in fact from the relative wilds of New Hampshire,” Jed said. “We do eat more simply than the Beauforts and van der Luydens. It’s not a household overflowing with Allemande sauce.”

“What a droll image,” Mrs. Manson Mingott said, her smile lopsided but genuine.

“You must rest now, I think, Mrs. Mingott, and I’ll be back to look in on you tomorrow,” he said, noting the fatigue in her small, dark eyes, the effort it was taking her to keep from collapsing back on the myriad pillows surrounding her. If he hurried, he would find Mary in the sitting room with Susannah on her lap and the boys sprawled on the rug before the fire, Daniel reading aloud while Timothy and John sorted out whatever small treasures they’d accumulated, pebbles and twigs and the odd jay’s feather, as they listened to their brother and their mother’s occasional and gentle corrections of a mispronounced word. He felt a sudden pity for the old ill woman before him, swathed in Belgian lace and frills. Her family would come to see her, but the comfortable and amiable warmth of his own home was something she’d never have, for all her wealth and power.

“Have your butler send for young Mrs. Archer,” he added. May was Mrs. Mingott’s favorite granddaughter, the least likely to unsettle her, conventional, happily or at least respectably married. He’d met her once and she reminded him of Emma Green when she’d first come to Mansion House to work, fresh and dainty as a rosebud and equally certain of herself and her society. Mrs. Mingott was beyond any revelation; it would be a marvel if she ever left the confines of her elegant house. Any further change was beyond her.

Was tagged by @vallaria !

Are you named after someone?

My parents named me after Daniel from the Bible! I like what it means.

When was the last time you cried?

I don't remember exactly, it's been a while. I don't cry much anymore tbh. I gotta suppress that shit.

Do you have kids?

Nope, I'd like to someday though!

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yeah, probably too much.

What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their vibe I guess? How they hold themselves, how they talk, body language ect.

What's your eye color?

Poop brown.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies!

Any special talents?

I have a really good internal clock apparently? I usually know what time it is without checking. That's like the only thing I can think of I'm very not special ha.

Where were you born?

Phoenix Arizona!

What are your hobbies?

Music and games mostly! I like to do all kinds of stuff but those are the two constants.

Do you have any pets?

I have a doggo named Zuko!

How tall are you?

6 or 6'1.

What sports do you play/have you played?

Fuckin none I hate sports

Favorite subject at school?

I liked programming and web design a lot!

Dream job?

I don't really have one to be honest. As long as I can live comfortably enough to still do things that are important to me I'll be happy.

Which is the first show or character you ever became obsessed with in your childhood and how did it influence your future choices in favorite shows and characters, tastes and styles?

THE FIRST I think was probably Batman? I think from that I probably ended up liking more complex characters rather than the simple "I'm good/he's bad" thing.

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG THANK YOU!

I tag: @through-the-magnifying-glass @sassafras--manson @palpad !

B & D!

:)

B. What is your first thought when you receive a message on Tumblr, are you excited for the idea of someone from potentially the other side of the world wanting to talk to you or fearful that someone will criticize you?

lol most of the time i feel a little dread just bc i always assume it's someone trying to debate with me about something or insulting me but that hasn't happened in a long time. i am never fearful of messages though. and i never considered it could be someone from the other side of the world, that's pretty cool!

D. Would you rather know everything the universe has to offer but in exchange lose all emotions or remain the way you are now?

is this even a question? remain the way i am now.

#thanks!!#sassafras--manson
