My name is Erin. This is my website.
My name is Erin. I'm 24. I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts in a really cute apartment with my equally cute fiance. I love giraffes, knitting, gaming and reading anything from Denis Johnson to Noam Chomsky. I hope to learn how to crochet and make jewelry sometime in the near future. My friends are amazing people, and my family isn't half-bad either. I graduated from a small liberal arts college with a useless English degree, because it's foolish to think an eighteen-year-old actually knows what she wants to do with her life when she picks her major.My defining traits are short hair, short temper, short stature, and a short attention span. Things I am good at include anything requiring a sense of rhythm, eating as much as someone twice my size, having hilarious bedhead, embarrassing myself and editing the hell out of everything (except anything I've written in the past 72 hours). My vices are video games, reading Metafilter at work, delicious beer, using food as a vehicle for hot sauce, blasphemy, apostasy, despair and indifference. As of April 2009, I have been vegetarian for a decade; I don't pretend that my diet is healthy. I am crazy in the have-a-diagnosis-and-a-couple-bottles-of-pills kind of way (I blame the patriarchy and crap genes). Oh, I am also good at blaming the patriarchy for all of my problems.
This website has at least sort of existed (warning: too lazy to edit versions page further) since February of 2000. It is lovingly hand-coded on a MacBook (named Scooty Puff Sr.; RIP Ho-Ju the iBook) for that "old school" feel. It hosts two of my best friends, and an old band site for nostalgia (read: humorous) purposes only.
