About Erika

I find it amusing when I take a bag of popcorn out of the microwave and a few kernels pop while the bag is still in my hands.
I don’t understand people who feel they need to make a religious, political, or social statements via bumper-sticker or window-decal.
I don’t like the smell of Wal-mart.
I also don’t like the smell of PAM when it starts to cook in a pan. I gag.
I avoid using public bathrooms whenever possible.
It is impossible for me to finish an entire water bottle.
Growing up in Vegas, I don’t understand the concept of “mold” here in Washington.
I lived the first 7 years of my life on an Indian Reservation.
I always wear flip-flops unless forced to do otherwise.
I am allergic to the world. Seriously don’t even get me started or I might start sneezing.
I always have some sort of glitter on my face.
I sing really loud in the car, but not in the shower. I have a feeling it’s because I can turn the music up in the car to drown out my singing, which is not possible considering the acoustics of a shower.
I usually sleep with socks on.
I usually sleep with makeup on too, which I hate, but when I get tired and lay down, I’m usually too lazy to get back up and wash my face. I’d rather wait until morning.
I am ALWAYS cold in Washington. I have 5 heaters in my apartment and a heat pad.
I cringe when people repeat themselves in conversation. (ie: “If only I had another chance.. If only I have another chance..) Once is enough, stop being so dramatic.
I live in my own apartment, by myself, in Everett, Washington.
I can’t drink warm water, and my water of choice if VOSS.
Most of the time I hang up my phone without actually saying goodbye. Sorry, but that takes precious time I just don’t have. I’m sort of a big deal.
Vegas is where I grew up, and one of my favorite place in the world; I miss it dearly.
I strongly feel that an adequate amount of English should be known as a prerequisite for living in this country.
People that loudly use blue-tooth headsets in public are annoying.
I don’t do roller-coasters.
Driving in snow is an enormous threat to me and everyone else on the road.
I almost never remember my dreams for more than an hour after I wake up.
I don’t like people who have “ring-back” tones.
It irritates me to no end when parents do not control their chaotic children in public places.
I absolutely can’t stand people who drive slowly in front of me. I’m not racist, but if you do it, you’re probably Asian.
I am definitely NOT a morning person. I consider anytime before noon to be the “morning”.
I’ve never had a nosebleed in my life. Okay once, but it was forced. I got smacked in the face with a block at daycare.
I like dressing up for formal and semi-formal events. I grew up in Vegas, first class is a must.
I’m always [with good reason] overly polite to people that handle my food, especially at fast-food establishments.
Fall is my favorite season, for both the weather and the required clothing.
I am often mocked for having “guys” handwriting. I’m over it.
I think I eat breakfast foods more at night than in the morning.
I HATE turning on the shower when I still have clothes on and getting my sleeves wet. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.
I want to learn to play the piano, and re-learn the violin.
I don’t see the point in chewing fruity gum.
I would drop everything and marry Jude Law with no hesitation if the opportunity presents itself.
I feel naked without my cell phone. (I also feel naked without my clothes)
I overuse Chap Stick, Burt’s Bees being my product of choice.
I’ve never been in a real car accident. I’ve done 360 degree spins and fish tails down the freeway on ice, but that’s hardly an accident.
I love the sun, hate the wind, and am indifferent about the rain.
I think T-Shirts with clever or witty one-liners are overrated and are worn by people who think they are comedians.
My favorite dessert is ice-cream.
I send/receive 200-300 text messages a day.
I always obey the “10 Items or Less” rule of the speedy checkout line, and despise those that ignore it.
I’m 5′ 7″, 115 lbs, and wear a 8 size shoe.
I look in every mirror I pass, almost as a reflex. When you look this good, why pass up an opportunity?
I love the beach.
I don’t use gel in my hair, I use wax and a small amount of hair spray.
I think boys with European accents are incredible.
