Lauren is one of those people who I really should have gotten to know better than I did. I met her while a part of a play, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, during my junior year of high school when she played my onstage lover. Let's just get this out of the way early...Lauren is way hotter than me, even in high school when I had my athlete's physique. She's tall, has beautiful bronze Italian skin, curly dark hair, and an amazing body to go along with everything else that made her physically attractive. I have to say, I was a bit intimidated by her, which is a bummer because she's a sweet girl. When comes to an actual memory with Lauren though, I can't really put my finger on one specific thing. I remember rehearsals, the performance, and of course the after parties which opened my eyes to a whole new part of high school that I'd been sheltered from, but when it comes to Lauren, I really remember just...liking her. She was nice to be around, she had some really funny things to say, and I don't remember any time when she wasn't a kind a person to me or anyone else we worked with on that set. I wish I had a little more guts back then than I did, that I at least put myself out there and became better friends with her because she really seems like a great person to have around, but it is what it is. I saw her about a year ago when I visited a couple of my friends at Central Michigan University, and while I don't remember much of that night to do remember her greeting me with a smile and looking better than ever, and it feels good to see that she seems to still be loving life.
Cheers my fair Hippolyta,

Note: What the hell was I thinking not trying to kiss her onstage? It was pretty much in the character description to be a horn dog...SHIT!
