I am here for Friends

About Me


Hi. I'm Erin.
I can stir coffee with a stick, but I can't drive a stick.
"This is a violent world in which I am not doing nearly enough, although I appear to be busy all the time." - Thomas Merton
I'm done with my college years (for now). I currently live in Charleston where I serve happiness in the form of ice cream and coffee. I write things in my blog... with the poodles already (dot) blogspot . And I have no idea what I'm doing next, but you will be able to find me at Bonnaroo 2007.
... the great religious struggle is not fought on a spectacular battleground, but within the ordinary human heart, when every morning we awake and feel the pressures of the day crowding in on us, and we must decide what sort of immortals we wish to be.
It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you're looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things. - Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz
I support...

My Interests

God. Friends. Coffee. Music. Books. And whatever is next...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. I feel I have a lot to learn from other people.

If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. - Perks

Whether relationships are past, present or future, they always seem to shape who we have been, who we are and who we are becoming. I have lived and am living for all of those relationships and somehow collectively find my meaning, identity and purpose within them. - Griffin House.

im me @ eringail says. i may or may not talk to you.
