About Me

I'm Erica.
I was an Arts/Journo student for 18 months but I've quit for a while coz it sucked. Hardcore. I now work at a newsagency fulltime with a married couple, a 75 year old man and two other girls. I live in a house with my parents and one of my brothers. The other one is living on a farm for a while, learning how to shoot things and sit on a tractor.
I think communism is a great idea but I love money too much. Therefore, I'm a dirty capitalist pig.
I listen to Triple J although I am aware of its faults.
Guns don't kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings.
I own all the seasons of The OC on dvd. And the Mighty Boosh. And Black Books. (Although SOMEONE needs to return it.)
So far I have been to 4 Big Day Outs, 1 Homebake and 1 Woodford folk festival. These figures will all go up soon.
People that continually misuse punctuation and make stupid spelling mistakes piss me off. It's spelled "definitely", not "definitly" or "defenatly". Also, "youse" is not a word, and neither is "anythink". If you're that sort of person, I will judge you.
I hate clubs because the music is terrible. And I mean HATE THEM, they make me irrationally angry, especially when I'm not drunk enough. I much prefer dingy bars or pubs or gig venues.
I wish I could be a writer but I'm just not talented. I used to play the oboe. I used to do a lot of things but now I don't do anything, really.
I guess I'm a fairly angry person, in general, most of the time. A lot of people think I look constantly 'sad' but mostly I'm just thinking. Too much.

My Interests

Pretty much my interests are music and art and literature and colours and spots and stripes and novelty sneakers. I like pretty much most music genres except (c)rap and emo and American rnb. [Because, quite frankly, it makes me want to projectile vomit.] I love Australian music and usually end up buying Aussie independent CDs as opposed to American/International. It's not usually intentional... I love old stuff and new stuff and especially stuff with clever lyrics and something a little different about it...I love live music and going to heaps of gigs. At the moment it's a gig a week, but once a month normally keeps me happy! I'm also interesting in (this will prove my nerd status) linguistics and how words are structured and formed and the history behind it. Also love literature and history.

I'd like to meet:

Dave Grohl. Fuck, I love that man.
Jeff Buckley.
Kurt Cobain.
[I shall be meeting these last two after I depart this world.]
