I am independent, open-minded, and giving.
My Self-Summary
Hi, my name is Erin. It's nice to meet you :) I'm originally from
Colorado and moved to California in 2005. I finally know my way
around this crazy city and I'm finding that all I want to do is
share my adventures with a significant other. All of the people
I've grown close to out here have moved to other places, so it's
back to square one as far as meeting new people. In my spare time,
I primarily see concerts, plays, and take occasional trips to the
beach. I haven't let ANY of some typical LA standards affect who I
am i.e. I'm not into my looks 24/7, I'm not selfish or
self-absorbed, and I don't party all the time. I'm very emotionally
mature for my age, I set goals for myself often, and I'm not much
of a drinker or a smoker or anything addiction-related other than
my love for music. I'm someone who will greet you with openness in
hopes that you will do the same for me.
What I’m doing with my life
As mentioned earlier, I moved to California in 2005 and I moved
here to pursue a career in the music industry. Push come to shove,
I work for a great music company and I'm very content in what I do
even if it isn't the "glamourous" side of it all.
I’m really good at
Noticing the details in life, talking and listening at the same
time, organizing things, caring and understanding, smiling, lifting
someone's spirit when they're down, being open and honest,
expressing my emotions, communicating, getting people to open up
about themselves, singing, and spelling and grammar :P
The first things people usually notice about me
How approachable, genuine, and trustworthy I am, how I'm extremely
reliable, my smile, how I have an old soul in a young person's
body, and how passionate I am about music.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Any Frommer's travel books, "He Just Not That Into You" (I've also
discovered that the lessons in this book can even be applied to
friendships with anyone, haha), otherwise I don't have too much
time to read books unfortunately :(
I like a lot of the movies I grew up with moreso than movies made
these days. Some include: When Harry Met Sally, Tommy Boy, The
Wedding Singer, City Slickers, Sister Act...tons more than this of
course.
Music is practically my heart and soul. I tend to fall in love
mostly with singer/songwriters and strong vocalists since I also
sing, so I'll just list my favs off the top of my head, but know
that I'm truly open to any and all music: Sarah McLachlan, Chantal
Kreviazuk, Celine Dion, Jars of Clay, Collective Soul, Goo Goo
Dolls, Madonna, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Bryan Adams, Plumb, Ben
Folds, and Lifehouse to name a few.
Foods would be cheese, chocolate, Chipotle, Dairy Queen - random,
yes, but any of these will make me happy on any given day. I'm
learning how to cook more these days, so my food tastes have
expanded greatly and would take too long list.
The six things I could never do without
Music, my family and friends back home, singing, having variety in
my daily routine, having strong self-awareness, and traveling.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
If I could see myself in California in the future, if there is a
good man out there worth waiting for or if it's better to live life
for myself, how life is shorter than we think, how there literally
is a song for every single thing we feel, and how much I miss the
people that mean a lot to me that I can't be with.
On a typical Friday night I am
Staying up late chilling out watching a movie or talking on the
phone - just grateful to be able to sleep in on Saturday since I'm
not a morning person :P
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I still own all of the cassette tapes and VHS that I grew up with
and refuse to part with :P
You should message me if
You're interested in getting to know me. I would hope that would be
reason enough! :)
