My Interests

I'd like to meet:


In a Friend:

I love people that fill in all those missing qualities and experiences in my life. You have to be able to listen. You have to be able to tell a good story. You have to be an individual, sincere, funny, honest and have a sense of your own style. You have to be able to handle the roller coaster that is Erin because I am all over the place. My friends are my everything I will give them whatever they need any time; I think that’s a pretty great payoff.

In a Relationship:

10 up 1 down. I want a best friend. I want a guy who will take the time to listen. I want someone who loves his family, and will love my mom. I want a comedian. I need to laugh. I want a nerd. I need someone to be dorky with. I want a character. I want someone that has their own opinions. I want a guy who isn’t afraid to NOT agree with me. I want someone who can take a jab and give it right back. I want a guy who isn't afraid of romance every once and a while. I want a guy who feels music in his bones. I want someone that is artistic/creative in some way doesn't matter what it is, just has a creative outlet that I can admire. I want a dude, a dude that can hang with my girls. I want a guy who is passionate about the little things. I want a guy who can rock a hat AND a stupid Halloween costume. I want someone who can be somewhere else but feel like he is right next to me. I want someone who wants a wife and kids eventually. I want a guy that calls me stupid nicknames. I want a guy that is proud to have me, and isn’t afraid to say it.

Oh and one more thing he has to love my dogs.

Music:

is awesome.

Movies:

I dig 'em.

Television:

rules.

Books:

I love a good story, in print or otherwise.

Heroes:

Vicki Carnes.
