Well hello there everyone! Pleasure to meet you all My name is Lauren, i am 16, and am a sophomore at Catholic Central High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. I am so glad that I found this place, because it is just the place for me. I am very opinionated, and love that i can speek freely here. Okay to start off about myself, I am obsessed with the 60s. I basically live back in the 60s, I wear clothes from back then and I use language from then. * I am basically a modern day hippie. * I am a vegetarian and proud of it. Eating meat is wrong, and i'll stick up for that fact any day, to anyone. * I am VERY anti war. * I AM A HUGE BEATLES FAN!!! I basically live and breath the Beatles. I know like everything about them, and I am simply in love with their music. John Lennon is my hero. * I am VERY anti abortion. * I was born, baptised, and raised as a Catholic. But for a long time i've felt that there was something missing, something i should feel whenever i go to church that i don't feel. I've always been very interseted in Bhuddism and Hinduism, and The Beatles were into Hare Krishna, so lately i've been studying those religions. I think those might be the religions for me. * I love animals. I am a proud member of PETA, and i plan to attend college and become either a zoologist ( the study of animals ), or an ethologist ( the study of animal behavior ). *I love dance. I've taken it my whole life, and am on the varsity dance team at my school. * I LOVE music. I couldn't live without it. Other than the Beatles, i listen to all 50s, 60s, and 70s music. * I am in the process of learning guitar. I'm not in lesons yet, but am looking around for some. But in the meanwhile i am teaching myself. Hey, John Lennon did it, so can I! Well thats basically me! I am a very loving and caring person, and I try hard not to hate people ( *cough Bush cough* ). I am very easy to talk to, and I love meeting new people and making new friends. Oh, and for those of you who have read all this, I take my hat off to you. Peace and Love always, Lauren
Hello and welcome to the forum! I don't know if this counts, but I've been to the Ed Sullivan Theater three times, all for Letterman's show. With you being a Beatles fan, I'm sure you know what happened on that stage in 1964?
Hello there Lauren; The Beatles changed the way I viewed the world and not only through Kaleidoscope Eyes….They opened my mind to things that I never thought existed outside of dreams….Welcome to The Hip Forums….Allow me to extend the welcome mat….I know what it’s like to be a newcomer….You don’t really know what to say or how to act….Read some of the threads so you can get the gist of what topics are being discussed….When you feel comfortable jump right in and get your feet wet….Nobody here is going to "Flame" you (unless it’s necessary) lol….We get some assholes here who just want to stir up bad vibes and there are several (they go unnamed).…From what I’ve found so far is that we are one big family with many brothers and sisters….Once again the doors open come on in, open up your heart and mind, put on some groovy tunes, kick back and stay awhile….Peace, Love & Great Big Hugs, DDR Here are a couple sites I use to download chords, lyrics and tabs... 911tabs.com UltimateGuitar.com On Being Frank Zappa Interviewer: "So Frank, you have long hair….Does that make you a woman?"… Frank Zappa: "You have a wooden leg….Does that make you a table?"
