About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
I'm Erin. I'm 5'10". I love my blue eyes. I have always been one of the 'lucky' ones to have a clear complexion. I have hair that only cooperates half the time. I wear a size 10 or 11 shoe but my feet and ankles are really narrow...awkward proportions? I have a little nose. I'm emotional. I cry a lot. I smile a lot. I laugh more than I smile and cry combined. I second-guess myself a lot. I have trouble letting go of things, memories, and people. I get annoyed easily. I clash with a certain 'type' of person. I can be optimistic. I can be pessimistic. I hate when people compete with me. I hate being left out. I hate failing. I hate licorice. I'm allergic to pineapple, kiwi, and small furry animals. I get very attached to the people whom I love most. I don't have a problem telling someone "I love you" when that is how I feel. I am fierce. I set my mind on something and I work until I get it. I hate throwing away old things. I love watching movies. I sing opera, and I sing it well. I can be really irresponsible. I can also be more responsible than anyone else I know. I hate hurting others and I try to avoid it, even if that means putting on a fake smile to prevent tensions. I give in to things I shouldn't. I would be an astronaut if I could be. I am sensitive. I love animals, even the ones I'm allergic to. I get shy around large groups of people I don't know. I am intimidated by a lot of people. I intimidate a lot of people, but I'm not sure why...is it because I'm so tall? I think a lot of people are full of shit. I have the best friends anyone could ask for and am so thankful for them. I am a very LOUD drunk. I love being excited. I love planning parties. I love going to parties. I love acting crazy. I love when people laugh at my jokes. I think well on my feet. I love getting compliments. I take criticism to heart. I love getting drunk with good friends. I have a lot of incredible experiences, and I have them often. I like having set plans each weekend. I love connecting with other people. I love hearing good news. I don't know how to "creatively" style my hair. I do lots of impersonations of people. I prefer to walk around barefoot when possible/acceptable, yet I have an enormous shoe collection. I use particular voices when quoting certain people. I love dancing and singing to rap. I sympathize easily. I love the smell of Christmas. I have a very good "ear" for music, tone, voices, and sounds. I love the way my house feels when the heat is on. I like lemonade. I procrastinate. I can never decide what to wear. I can usually find something I have in common with anybody. I love laughing so hard that my face and stomach hurt. I love hugs. I roll the sleeves up when I wear T-shirts. I miss the show The Wonder Years. I don't have a particular 'style' of clothes I wear. I remember details really well. I love scuba diving. I like lounging around the house in sweatpants and a T-shirt. I have changed a lot over the years, in a good way. I try not to burn my bridges. I go to Wake Forest University and adore it. I am enraged by compulsive liars. I don't need to be reminded often of things. I am fluent in French. I do not come to a complete stop at stop signs. I have divorced parents who are both remarried. I truly like my stepparents. I have several 'best' friends. I am drawn to people who can make me laugh but who can turn around and have a deep conversation with me. I have a hard time saying "I'm sorry", but when I say it, I really mean it. I sometimes take teasing and joking around with people too far. I hate feeling unproductive but I hate being too busy. I make excuses when I fail to get things done. I can tell when people are lying. I love hearing stories about experiences I have not (yet) had. I hate letting opportunities pass me by. I have never wanted a tattoo. I have a life motto. I get stressed VERY easily. I always forgive people...too easily sometimes. I sometimes need the cold, hard truth, but I only let a select few people give it to me. I love sleeping late, even if I do hate "wasting" the day. I worship Rachel McAdams. I love going to the movies. I can't not have my toenails painted. I had Achilles Tendonitis in my left heel. I love going on dates with myself to spend time alone and think. I enjoy ghost stories. I love doing things just for the hell of it. I love to peel oranges. I love being the one to take the first sip out of a can of soft drink or use a brand new chapstick for the first time. I love photographs. I get migraines. I multitask. I have trouble focusing on just one thing at a time. I believe in love. I love Halloween. I am a Kappa Delta. I love making scrapbooks. I can't resist a good Starbucks coffee. I drive a silver Volvo S40 that I LOVE and have named Frank Sinatra. I miss my dog, Pushkin, who I grew up with and still consider my first true best friend. I'm infatuated with Paris Hilton. I think marshmallows are repulsive. I like reading for pleasure but don't do it often enough. I am a shopaholic and need to monitor my spending habits. I am a well-mannered Southern girl; I know how to use a fish fork, how to cross my legs properly, how to hold my drink, and what to do with my napkin when I finish my meal. I do not like cold ketchup; it must be room temp. I also do not like mixing temperatures of foods, i.e. hot apple pie a la mode with frozen ice cream...things need to either be HOT or COLD. I had my nose pierced but it wasn't healing properly so I took it out...one day I'm getting it re-pierced on the other side because I miss it. I'm right-handed. I hate the music my parents listen to because it is miserable. I think winter is the most romantic season, but fall is my favorite season of all. I have an addiction to buying makeup, but I don't wear much makeup so it often goes somewhat unused. I will never be caught underdressed for a costume party; when I go, I go all out. I am a little bit preppy, a little bit glam, a little bit punk rock, a little bit ghetto, and a little bit emo; what can I say, I'm multifaceted and you never know what you're gonna get. I have really good self-control. I would choose to only drink diet soda forever if it weren't so bad for your body. I consider myself a good dancer, but I have no dance training. I take awhile learning the steps to dances, but once I learn them, I get them down hard. I think I want to be a casting director when I am older. I am a Theatre and French double major. I HATE routine and become very depressed when my life becomes routine-like. I always enjoy trying new things and developing new interests. I am NOT a morning person, I am a night owl. I always wear a ring on my right ring finger. I think I'm probably addicted to caffeine. I make lists and then I rarely follow them. I am really passioned by the theatre, particularly by musical theatre. I don't really like Sprite.
The following can sum up a lot of the past two years of my life:“Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.”
I shall miss this thing when it all rolls by... -DMB
