1. Name:
Lauren aka Loz

2. Where do you live:
In the St George area of Sydney

3. What do you do for a living:
Full time student, I work part time in an Anglican school OOSHC (outside of school hours care), and hope to do some casual/subsitiute teaching this year

4. Four things you like about yourself
I chose the number four cause it was question number 4.
* My eyes.. I like their colour and shape
* My ability to laugh at myself when I do stupid things
* I have a crazy watch mark/tanline
* That I am always learning new things about myself

5. Favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe
I could say my 3 island dresses from Vanuatu but I'd be lying.. although i love them in the sense of memories from the people who gifted me with them.

My favourite piece of clothing is my UOW jumper.. its a black hoodie which is comfy and you can snuggle up nice and warm in it in winter

6. An interesting fact about yourself
I'm terrified of dragonflies.

7. Something God has taught you that you'd like to share with the rest of us
If I do not seek him then I can loose touch with Him. So when I don't read my bible, or I dont pray, or I don't worship him, then I loose touch, just as you do with any friendship when you dont talk/listen/write to that friend.
