The thing that Lauren is a fan of.


If you don’t know Lauren Simpson, then you do now. Well, you don’t but you will probably look her up on Facebook or something to see who she is because I am sure that you are now at least a little bit curious, at least a little bit. Lauren is a girl that goes to my school that came to Australia in year ten from Scotland and although the sixty three pages that Lauren is a fan of on Facebook may be misleading, she isn’t a fan of many things. I don’t think that I have ever mentioned her before in this blog, so this may seem like a rather large first mention but then again, Tom Wilkin’s first mention was his first memoir and look at him now in the double digits of mentions.

I don’t have many status updates on Facebook, maybe one or two a day maximum which I guess is a fair bit but you know, what I am trying to say is that I am not one of those people that have a status update every minute or so. Whenever my status is something food related, there will be a good chance that Lauren will get in the first comment on it and that comment will usually read something like ‘not a fan’. I am fairly fussy with my foods, I don’t like a lot of things but Lauren seems to be the Optimus Prime of fussiness, or not fussiness but not fanningness and yes, I did just make up a word and add it to my dictionary.

Last night, and I am writing this on Sunday the eleventh so last night was Saturday the tenth obviously... anyway last night, as in Saturday one of the most shocking things happened and yeah, I could have put it in the blog about last night, not last night but Saturday night but I thought it was so shocking that it warranted its own blog post thing so yeah, here we are. Let’s just say that Chris’s mum; Toula made me an amazing Iced Coffee that, as the previous adjective stated, was amazing, it even had ice cream on the top. I offered sips all around and everyone said it was great, then Lauren asked for a sip and I thought to myself, is it worth letting her try it? I mean she would just turn around and say that she isn’t a fan and it wasn’t nice but that’s when the most amazing thing ever happened. She tried it, and she liked it. I asked her if she was a fan, and she said that she was.

You could also tell that she wasn’t just saying she was a fan just because she wanted to fit in, because she was licking her lips after she had it and really looked happier, then she asked for a second sip, and you wouldn’t ask for a second sip of something that you just said you were a fan of so you could fit in wouldn’t you? She also said that she doesn’t even like Iced Coffee, it is just Chris’s mum’s iced coffee that she is a fan of, so let’s just say that in Lauren’s case, it’s a Toula Tankosic Iced Coffee, or it’s nothing.
