Sorry I had only seen the first half of your comment when I replied :S
living in the UK is pretty awesome I'll admit but I would love to live in the US for a bit. I am extremely jealous of the HP conventions and AVPMS that I cannot attend. But I guess "the grass is always greener" and all that.
I guess we can both be awesome due to DFTBA :)
So yea, sorry for writing two comments but it does mean double the love and awesomeness :)

Wow, how random and coincidental.
It's a beautiful painting.
Are you really into art then?
I'm not much of an art buff myself. I was never any good at drawing/painting so chose music instead as my art option.
But I've always admired artists. Do you draw/paint?
As I said before I was unsuccessful in that respect but I'm creative in other ways aka musically.

Hello, I'm Lauren and I think you're totally awesome.
I stumbled across your page as your profile picture is a painting that my grandparents have in their house so I had to look at your profile.
Then when AVPM started randomly playing, which was an amazingly pleasant surprise, I had to write you a comment.
So yea, hi. I'm new here and I'm a Harry Potter/book/musicals nerd like yourself. :)
And I'm just going to rock out to "Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts" for a bit if you don't mind. Ginny just arrived .... :D
