First things first, hey I'm Lauren.
23 . female . Canadian . home-body
I collect books, among other things.
Coffee connoisseur, serious sci-fi nut & a complete and utter wino.

I'm a forth year Film major with a minor in English Lit. I'm completely fascinated with Dystopian lit/film. I am, at my core, a knowledge collector of sorts.

I think one of the hardest things to do is write about oneself. I could go on for pages detailing my likes and dislikes, all the while asserting this overly self-gratifying, omniscient point of view. I could, in a way force myself upon you, begging for the attention of a complete stranger. Or I could let this page speak for itself; in hopes that by grouping small details and choice inspirations, I could, in time, define myself.

I suggest quiet frequently, but I also hope to be suggestED to things. ;)
Thanks for visiting. xx

currently….

I’ve been surfing this huge Terry Gilliam wave for quite some time now — truly one of my favourite directors. His dystopia’s, to me, are always well thought-out, meticulously painted veils that can be explored again and again…. every time I re-watch a Gilliam film I’m instantly transported to exactly where I want to be — smack in the middle of the mindless consumption, extreme poverty and excessive drug use dystopian life is so characteristic of. 

Not familiar with Terry Gilliam? He’s a triple threat — he directs, writes and produces. Here’s a list of one’s I’m most interested in sharing:

- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Time Bandits
- Brazil
- The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
- 12 Monkeys 
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus


….. yes, I am a HUGE dystopian cyborg…. I also sleep alone every night.
