One of my best friends calls me her "super-rad rockstar," hence the "super-rad part-time rockstar" moniker above.

I am a photographer trapped in a computer geek's body! Help, let me out!

Seriously though, I am a pretty laid-back girl who likes girls.

I love music and exploring new aural stimulation (I love Pandora and last.fm!). I love to learn -- I am constantly absorbing new material on the Internet (thank you Stumbleupon!) as well as in-person.

I participated in an improv comedy troupe for a few years and was their official photographer for a short while as well. This of course, means that I am Funny(tm).

I am a bus geek. I drove buses for years and now I miss driving them. I know way too much information about bus manufacturers, bus models and year model changes, etc. I know, pretty useless in the Real World(tm).

In addition to my commercial license (so I can drive buses, see above) I also maintain a motorcycle license. I don't currently own a motorcycle, but am looking for one.

I'm an INTJ on most personality tests that I take. The few times I don't come up as an INTJ, I usually get an INFJ.

Ever since a young age, most everybody has guessed that I am older than I actually am. They all agree it is because I act more mature that most people my age. I do like to hang out with people who are older than I am for the most part.

I tried to hotlink a message to my Yahoo! account here, but OKCupid doesn't parse it and strips the HTML. Bastards! In any case, you can IM me at "erintg2" on Yahoo! Messenger.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me is that I am very tall. I'm almost 6 feet tall without shoes which makes me stand out a bit, for sure!

The second thing people probably notice are usually my boobs (those pigs! :D ).

These are just some examples of my favorites....

Food:

I love Mexican food. Give me a nice crispy relleno from Benny's Cantina or a spicy green tamale from Tamale Kitchen and I will be happy forever! I love spicy foods, usually the hotter, the better! I put habaneros in my homemade green chile and enjoy very spicy Asian foods as well.

1) Music -- I have music playing around me 24 hours a day! (see links to Pandora and last.fm, above)

2) Cameras/photography -- I love taking pictures of people and places, mostly. Check out my portfolio online at:

http://erinwardphotography.com/

3) Computers -- I'm a computer geek. I got started with computers in a computer graphics class in high school and since then I have earned my A+, MCSE and even an Apple ADSC certification!

4) The Internet -- I just _have_ to get my daily sites in! When I'm away from the Internet for a few days I start to get Internet withdrawal!

5) My friends and family -- I grew up on the east coast and most of my friends and family are still there. Luckily, I have a lot of new friends here in Denver who have become my second family. I love you guys!

6) My car -- I have had several cars in my lifetime now, and this one is the best one on gas mileage by far. Sure, it's a P.O.S. econobox, but it gets me where I need to get.

1) The Big Ass Biscuits of Doom.
2) Big potatoes to mash.
3) Easy limbs, languid all around me.
4) Fingers drifting down my spine.

Likely playing poker somewhere. I usually stay out way too late playing poker and then have to get up at some obscene hour to get ready for work..... Ah, the life of a poker addict! :D

I am becoming a poker addict -- I play Texas hold 'em online as well as in person at several locations in the Denver area:

Several locations with the Real Poker Experience
Eck's Saloon
The Draft
Several locations with the Denver Poker Tour
Several locations with Poker Starz of Denver
The Penalty Box

I've won a few games here and there, but generally I suck at playing. I am practicing my dealing so I can become a part-time dealer at night to help supplement my income as well as have a little fun whilst doing so!

If you know how to properly use apostrophes, the difference between "your" and "you're" as well as "ensure" and "insure," then you should definitely message me.

I like the larger ladies, so if you consider yourself large, BBW, or "Amazon" be sure to message me!

If you enjoy/like any of the following, you should message me:

Geeks, playing poker, Photography, Digital Cameras, Cars, Computers, Russian Language, Linguistics, Fighting Spam, Beer, Buses, Girls, Lesbians, Motorcycles, Being Naughty, Shoes (the things you wear as well as the Kelly video!), Sarcasm, Pissing People Off, Open Minded People, Kissing, Firefox, Clean Sheets, Debauchery, Corsets, Urban Exploration, Having your hair played with, Big Thunderstorms, Street Photography, Digital Photography, Art, Drum N' Bass....

You should NOT message me if:

You are a man looking for a woman to date or just sleep with (lesbian = NO MEN). Sorry, nothing against men in general, I just am not into "deck."

IF, and ONLY IF you are the proud owner of a set of bollocks and you are seeking friendship, a poker buddy, a good photographer, etc... and you understand that I DO NOT fancy men sexually, never have, and never will, and that you will not "change my mind" about it, then you may message me.
