Laura's Story

Hey everyone.
I can't get over how long it's been since I've been in High School. All at once, it feels so long ago yet also like it were just yesterday. A lot has happened since then....
First of all, as some of you may remember, I was often thought of as 'dorky' and 'quirky' just thought I'd let you all know that yes, my love for musical theater, 80's pop music and vintage advertisments still lives on. I embrace my offbeat interests. But, I'm still very normal and down to earth.
I'm still studying Japanese, and I'm currently still at Highline Community College, although I'm nearly finished. I had to take a lot of time off to deal with a serious family crisis. I don't mind being on my own schedule for life, and not caught up in the whole 'university lifestyle' It doesn't appeal to me at all. Quite frankly, I find so much of our 'myspace' generation to be incredibly immature.
I've also...Expand for more
been very fortunate to find my boyfriend, Daniel. Our story is long, a little hard to believe, and romantic in its own right. Basically, we met over our love of 80's nostalgia and became instant friends, with instant chemistry... we talked every day for hours on end, and fell in love.
Only trouble was, he lived in Australia. But that didn't stop us, nothing would. We met, and it was perfect. We're now in a very serious relationship and he is getting organized to move up here permanently. For all those who say that long-disntance relationships can't work, you are very wrong. If you truly love someone enough, even 8,000 miles can't keep you apart.
Daniel is currently finishing up his degree at the University of Melbourne in English Literature and Cinema Studies.
I guess I literally have the whole world open to me right now. I'm not sure where it'll take me in the next couple years, but I do know that I am truly happy, and satisfied with where I'm at.
