About LMNOP

I am Lauren McMahon, a 26-year-old living in Maryland and working under the vague title of "analyst."  I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2005 with a degree in print journalism.  As such, I am skilled in the art of writing precisely, accurately, and engagingly; I tell you this here because it is certainly not readily apparent from looking at the rest of the site.

I started blogging in December 2005 as a means of dealing with my insane excess of free time.  Exactly one week later, I started my first real, full-time post-college job, thus expanding my purview and allowing me to mature past simply writing about "things I found on the Internet while I was wearing sweatpants and an old Washington Bullets T-shirt" to "things I found on the Internet while I was wearing dress pants and a cardigan."  I also like posting about celebrities, science, grammar, pop culture, and awkward situations.  In October 2007 I became the owner of a rowdy terrier mutt named Pancake, and he gets his fair share of posts on here as well.

I am one of four children in a family that is so normal it's abnormal; my lovely parents have been married for over 30 years, and they always made sure my siblings and I did our homework and drank plenty of milk.  In direct defiance, I am now a horrible procrastinator and lactose intolerant.

I am on Flickr, Etsy, Twitter, and Facebook, so feel free to holla.

My imaginary lawyer/Cathy Addison-Weemer is on MySpace and Facebook too.  If you don't know who she is, read the FAQ.
