Amazing and beautiful people (inside and out).They Often have a great sense of humor, and nice personalities. They tend to be short and Hair varies in mood. They joke around a lot and can be very jolly. When they smile, the whole room lights up. Their laugh will make you feel warm inside like your about to fart. Lam’s are so much fun. They tend to be night owls and have all nighters. You can talk to them for hours at a time without noticing cause the ur beatfrand. You always want to be with them and at their house. Lams are amazing <3.
Lam is awesome
