About Me

Having returned from Mexico I have a head full of information that is truely boring to the rest of the world, unless you were there experiencing it with me. I am having fun experiencing "reentry," but, please wake me up when it is over with. (I couldn't sleep in Mexico and now that I am in back in the States I can't stay awake.) Now that I am poor I would like you to buy me a beer, yo promiso to never pay you back, unless you spend a month or more in a foriegn country. XOXO erin

My Interests

i like to read, people watch, listen to music, ride my bike, walking around the many lakes in Minneapolis, watching baseball, beer, dance parties, finding new ways to go to hell, living fast and dying young.

I'd like to meet:

People have all these famous people that they would like to meet. But, I think it would be disappointing. If I ever met a politician they would tell me what they think I want to hear. And most other famous people you would find that they are just people and probably have nothing better to say. I just want to meet average people with something smart to say.

Music:

the Broadways, the Faint, Franz Ferdinand, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Epoxies, the Raveonettes, Modest Mouse, Sleater-Kinney, the Pixies, Murder by Death, the Smiths, Natalie Cole, Fugazi, Eric Clapton, Kelly Clarkson, Mars Volta, X, the Lawrence Arms, Bad Religion, Radiohead, Johnny Cash, the Murder City Devils, the Rollingstones, Refused, Milemarker, 7 Seconds, Minor Threat, The Soviettes, Dillinger 4, Rilo Kiley, the Beatles, the Clash, Tracy + the Plastics, the Gossip, Bikini Kill, Green Day, the Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, the Owls, The Replacements, The Weakerthans, Avril Lavigne, Belle and Sebastian, Le Tigre, Jets to Brazil, The Cure, At the Drive In, Nada Surf, Ella Fitzgerald, N.E.R.D., Blink 182, the Pony's, FleetwoodMac, REM, the Mamas and the Papas, Oasis...let me see how much of a hipster i can be....

Movies:

Goodbye Lenin, the Royal Tenebaums, Anchorman, How to Deal, Harry Potter, Mean Girls, Zoolander, Donny Darko, The Motorcycle Diaries, Y Tu Mama Tambien. My favorite actors are Gael Garcia Bernal and Johnny Depp.

Television:

Scrubs, The Office, The Simpsons, 30Rock, My Hero, and documentaries on PBS.

Books:

I love Kurt Vonnegut. In the Time of the Butterflies, Ishmael, The Story of B, art books, anything by David Sedaris, books that make you learn. The book of the moment is, Atheism: The Case Against God. I love books.

Heroes:

Kill Your Idols
