Oh La Lauren

le mobile

Well, I’m back home.

More sentiments about that later.

For now, I want to preserve a piece of Paris here. I have this strange habit of keeping as many text messages as possible in my phone because they have sentimental value to me—both on my regular phone and on my Parisian cell phone. And because I will be selling this 30 euro piece of poop to a friend, I’m going to transfer some of my valued text messages into the blog here.
