I took this photo yesterday, right before I nodded off into a very peaceful nap, only to be awoken an hour later by a cloud sheltering me from the bright sun.
Since I didn’t get a chance to go outside during work today, I am submitting this for Monday Photo Lunch Club. I’m breaking the rules.
This is most likely my favorite Coldplay song.

It’s going to be one hell of a free show tonight!
That Little Red Light
Every time I’m heading back to my desk from a meeting (who am I kidding, I don’t get invited to meetings) or lunch, I slow down as I’m rounding the corner because I CRINGE to see that little red light lit up on my phone. I hate retrieving voicemails almost as much as I hate talking on the phone. I’d like to change my work voicemail message so it says “This is Lauren Farmer. I’m obviously not here and I will not listen to your message, so please call me back later. OR, better yet, email me!”

I am one step closer (many steps) to finally getting a video in HD on vimeo. I keep making little mistakes and I have a bad habit of erasing footage before I KNOW I am finished with it. I’m very frustrated with myself, as this video in particular looks insanely awesome in HD. I will do better next time.
Awesome! This just put me in the best mood.

Gender and the Tumblr ratio
After several conversations on the topic, I am really curious about this question:What is the ratio following to followers by gender?
please reblog or email me your answer. You don’t have to disclose your actual number of followers, just a simple male/female/trans and the ratio of following over followers and the number of months you’ve been on tumblr. My guess is women will have a ratio of 0.75 and men will be closer to 1.8. If I get enough of a sample I’ll post the results in a couple of days.
unless marco has this data and can just answer it easily??
My ratio of people I follow to people that follow me is 0.13.
All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head.
My high school experience wasn’t NEARLY as exciting.
