Hi! I'm Laura Cushing, I'm a 40 year old writer from the NJ pine barrens. Feel free to friend me, and I'll likely friend you back. If you want me to friend you back sooner, drop me a comment so I know you've friended me. Did I use 'friend' enough just then? No? Okay, I'm very friendly! So feel free to AIM or email me to say hi.
