In case reading this blog doesn't completely cover your daily prescribed dose of Lauren, there are other ways to potentially reach me:

First, Skype. It's a free service that allows you to make international phone calls [again, for FREE] over the interwebs. Just click on the picture for the easy download. My skype ID is "kuninator."


Second, I will be getting a cell phone in Italy. I don't know the number yet, but when I do I'll post it. It doesn't cost me anything when you call me, so that's nice, but it will cost you money and I won't have a ton of minutes to use.



Third, I will actually have a physical address in Rome [o rly? ya rly! NO WAI!!!!] to which you can send good ol' snail mail. If you take the time and effort to send me mail I will be sure to return the favor. Like the cell phone, I'll post it when I get it, which will be around the 16th.



Fourth, [this list thing is kinda fun], you can always e-mail me. I'm really good at checking e-mail but I can be a little slow to respond. Anyway, if you have information you simply must tell me, e-mail is the way to go. [EDIT: So dad says it's a bad idea to put your e-mail address on a blog, so it's off. If you can't find it anywhere else on this blog, then just leave me a comment and I'll tell you.] [The story behind the picture is that I couldn't find anything satisfying when I searched for "e-mail" in Google, and who doesn't want to look at a picture of me - or really, a picture of my pooch, Tika?]

Fifth, you could be super-amazingly-awesome-and-fantastic and COME VISIT ME in Rome, but don't worry, I can't really expect everyone to shell out the cash to fly out here. Just be warned, if you're in Europe the weekend before April 21st, and you don't come celebrate my 21st birthday with me, you will owe me about a billion dollars in emotional damages.

Edit: Also, a couple of people have asked me how to comment on my posts. Next to the post title, see the thing that says "0 | click to comment"? Well, the number is how many comments have been made on that post, and clicking on "click to comment" will send you right to the comments page. <3 style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT: Everyone clicked on the "pull" tab at the top, right? Just checking.]
