Hello, I'm Laurie. Also referred to as Rain, RMT, Lau, La, Spectrum, Spect, Fizz or whatever floats your boat. Fifteen, British-English, currently cruising through her second year of GCSEs with a myriad of Bs and As (plus two A*'s in English and Maths), loves to draw and take photographs. Please don't be put off if I don't talk much, as I'm quite shy, but I'm likely to display my confident side when debating topics I care about. I love peach ice tea, as well as rainbows and daydreaming when I should be paying attention to something else. Also tends to switch between the first and third person without a moment's notice when describing herself.

I love music. Anything that has a good rhythm to it, nice vocals or a beat that I can immerse myself in, I'll probably listen to. The only genres I'm not really keen on are country and blues. I'm a girl of the future, but I absolutely love it when otherwise modern tunes have a classical or oriental twist to them. Some of my favourite artists include Linkin Park, Enya, Panic! At The Disco, Utada Hikaru, Trifonic, Kajiura Yuki, Owl City, and... many, many others. Hurr. But my favourite music group at the moment is probably ELECTROCUTICA - all thanks to REVERSUS, which is a beautiful blend of technical and classical music. My favourite Vocaloids are probably VY1, Gumi, Iroha, KAITO and Miriam. Oh, I also have a long-term account on deviantART, which you can find over here.

I adore learning languages and would like to take on Oriental Studies at university, with Japanese as my main area of study and Chinese as a supplementary language. If I get the grades I'm looking to get for my GCSEs, I should also be starting the IB Diploma next year, with the six subject parts of the course taken in English, Maths, Chemistry, Psychology, Visual Arts and ab initio Japanese (it's a lot more challenging than a usual set of A-Level courses, but BRING IT ON). I'm currently a member of Mensa in the 99th percentile and I have an ego the size of Jupiter regarding my intelligence. I am also one hell of a Grammar Nazi.

I'm not that much of a girly girl, but I love to read, watch a feel-good movie or play some SoulSilver and Professor Layton to while away the time. I love to draw, which, when I get around to it, takes up around half of my many hours on the laptop - this would be because I am a perfectionist and even sketches must be cleaned. I'm somewhat curbing this habit now, and quick drawings with flat colours now have a much more sketchy feel to them. If I went into the Creative & Media industry, I'd probably want to be a concept artist. What can I say? Art's my life, music's my soul and everything else is my mind and personality. Kind of explains why I'm a little off the wall and why I love to do what I do every day, which is visiting dA and conversing with my equally-as-crazy friends.

Hello, I'm Laurie. I am a Troper Extraordinaire and require a padded cell (with colour-coordinated straight jacket), once you get to know me.
