recently, i have been on a journey of self discovery, but the sad thing is--i feel like i haven't really found much. i guess what i'm trying to say is that there aren't enough hours in the day for me to go on this massive exploration of myself and pinpoint what it is that makes me who i am. so, i guess that i will use my about me section to tell you folks what i do know about myself. first things first, my name is erica. i'm twenty two years old, and i live in bluffton, indiana. before here, i lived in decatur for a year, and before that, i lived in winchester, indiana, for a good 21 years of my life. i can honestly say that i miss the hell out of that place (never actually thought it could happen), and i hope to go back someday. i have an amazing family. they recently moved to bluffton to be closer to me and start new lives. i'm a daddy's girl at heart, but i love my mutter just as much. she's like one of the girls. my sister is my best friend. we act almost exactly alike, and i wouldn't trade her in for the world. in july 2006, she popped out my first niece (jasmine aka jazzberry), and she is my entire world. never thought i could handle small children until i held her in my arms. she changed my perspective on a lot of issues in life. i love her as i love them all. they come before anything. my boyfriend, TJ, and i recently discovered what it means to truly miss one another. we decided to take a break, and after a couple of months of complete freedom, we decided we only wanted one another. so, we're back together again, and i'm the happiest i've been in such a long time. i love you, TJ! at the present moment in time, i work at peyton's nothern (as most of the population of bluffton). it is a kroger warehouse and distributor has been thriving in this area sine the eighties. my job here is an LTO operator. i drive my rider reach machine around and pick up/let down pallets all night. it's really not that bad of a job at all. killer overtime. comfortable environment. amazing people. there are a number of things that really catch my attention. i would say the most powerful is music. any and all music. it speaks to my soul and takes me back. when i find a song with amazing lyrics, i listen to it repeatedly, and it never gets old. if i can relate to it, even better. i guess the next best thing to music is art. it's such a positive meaning of expression, and it truly captivates me. i plan on returning to college when i have enough money saved and continuing my art major. i'm currently trying to dabble in vector (computer generated art). it's kind of tough, but i love it. and i love taking pictures, as well. i love to take long drives to clear my head, take in the scenery, what have you. my car officially died in january, so i haven't been able to do that for a while. but you better believe i cruise long and hard in the summertime. :) i love shopping (i am a girl, afterall), but i prefer to go alone. there's something so freeing about trying on a pair of pants, looking horrible in them, and not having one of your girlfriends on the other side of the door begging you to show her. i don't like to do that either, but eh... i'm a child at heart, and most often, i don't act my age. i'm very free-spirited and outspoken. so, i will say what's on my mind and generally, i don't care about the consequences. opinions should be spoken and not locked away. you can't go far in life that way. since i'm drawing a blank now, i suppose i will draw to a close, but know this--i will answer any questions you throw at me. if you send me a friend request, and i don't personally know you, don't expect me to accept. i'm sorry, but there are crazies out there. thanks for taking the time to get to know a little about me. there's tons more, but my hand hurts, people! so, be safe, live much, laugh often.
