Name
: Erika
Location: Long Island, NY & Towson, MD
Age: 23
This is what I look like.

Things I like: waking up before the sun rises, living live music, capturing spirits on digital film, def poetry, sweaty hugs, that instant when inspiration hits, beautiful words, deep conversation in the late night hours, the secret you carry when walking through a crowd with a favorite song pumping through your headphones, horseback riding/jumping/schooling, working on my webpages, painting, discovering new bands to fall head-over-heels for, dying my hair, Obsession cologne, Cali accents, hoodies, shelltops, that fire/burning wood smell, having deja vu, corny jokes, promised phonecalls, analogous colors, passion, people who actually listen to my band recommendations, hip hop junkies, having someone come through when I need it, tuning out the world and getting completely immersed in those few perfect albums, speaking my mind-but doing it nicely, people who respect not drinking/smoking, costume jewelry, having a song quote for every occasion, coming online to know that I'll always have porn mail waiting...

Things I don't like: having to wake up before the sun rises, open mouthed chewing, body odor, slamming doors, phone calls at 9:30 am on Saturdays, my name spelled wrong, high fives, details, people who think they have authority, mixed signals, the short end of the stick, people who still send chainletters when they know it'll have no affect on their pathetic love lives or help that starving girl in the middle east, empty words, Molly Ringwald movies (or Dirty Dancing or Goonies), people who pigeonhole me into being "straight edge", showers with weak water pressure, thriving on misery, lack of inspiration, tYpInG LiKe tHiS, those who just don't take hints, "shelltoes", people who always point out the obvious, sour milk, weird tomatos, people who take unecessary shit from their so-called "significant others" and friends, lacking that something special, people who don't know when to walk away...
