There is no real story.

Actually, when I was younger I was obsessed with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's TV show  "The Simple Life"...They would always say 'Loves it' instead of "I love it" so that's where I got the phrase.

Loves it! 

My morning routine varies. It almost always starts with me waking up. (Almost) Apparently, I've been known to speak to people in the mornings and can't remember it at all later in the day. Awesome. After I'm really up, I will brush my teeth and see if anyone made me breakfast! Haha. If not, I'll come back to my room and get back in bed for a while. After a few minutes of being bored, I'll check my e-mail because I'm obsessive when it comes to emails! Ugh. And if I didn't get anything good via e-mail, I will turn on the TV. If nothing good is on TV, I will again get back in bed and just think about how boring this day is going to be. Eventually I'll decide to make myself breakfast and after that, my day continues in a semi-normal way of me just doing pretty much nothing.

If it's a morning when I actually have to do something, well, that's when the real fun starts. Again, it almost always starts with me waking up. Then, I check the time immediately. I spend a minute or two convincing myself that I HAVE to get up!  A few minutes later, I'm up. I go brush my teeth and smoke a cigarette (not at the same time). Look for breakfast. I hate it when my alleged family doesn't make me breakfast. I end up getting cereal if I'm in a rush. Then, I will pick out an outfit, jeans and a tshirt obviously. After my outfit is picked out, I take a shower. After that, I usually turn on some music to party to while I'm getting dressed and doing my hair and looking all over for my sneakers (my room is always a mess!) After all that, I check my e-mail obviously. That's the last thing I have to do before I'm ready to walk out the door. I make sure I have everything I need for whatever I'm doing that day and then I'm off!

There's also one last morning routine. It's the morning after routine, actually. After an entire night of partying, it's usually daylight when I get home so that 'morning' routine involves me taking off my sneakers and my coat and basically just flopping down onto my bed and sleeping for an excessive amount of hours. haha! When I wake up, I obviously brush my teeth and look for breakfast.

WOO!!!

The best piece of advice I've heard is that my favorite picture should be something I'm going to take not something I've already taken. It helps me to strive for greatness with each shot knowing I haven't taken my favorite yet. If I ever take a picture and say that it's my absolute favorite and that I can't take anything I'll like better in the future, that will be the day I retire.

Love,
Erica.

I love how all the bands I love are intertwining on tour...for instance I went to see Kill Hannah and discovered Love Arcade and then I discovered The Academy Is and Love Arcade opened for them as well as As Tall As Lions who will be on the AP Tour which I will also be going to alot. When Love Arcade goes back out they'll be on tour with All Time Low first and This Providence later on. And I discovered All Time Low and This Providence on Cute Is What We Aim For's latest tour......and I discovered Cute Is What We Aim For when they opened for Hellogoodbye @ Irving Plaza the day before Halloween '06.

It's so much fun...like a huge non-stop party!!

Or should I stay it's like a huge party I honestly don't WANT to be over! ...and I usually hate parties. Isn't it ironic that I'd even use that as an analogy? :)

Not to mention the Bamboozle Festival when the majority of the bands named above including Hellogoodbye and Gym Class Heroes will be under the same roof.

CALL AND REQUEST "THE CURSE OF CURVES" RIGHT NOW!!!!

Love, Erica

themusicscenezine.com

Erica's Corner coming soon!! I'm SO excited!! We should have my first actual assignment set up within the next two weeks!! :)

and omg, YAY for media/photo passes!!

i woke up with the worst cold ever.
and the worst headache
i dont feel good at all...
EW.
who's coming to bring me chicken soup?
♥♥♥

why do people feel like they can walk over me?
its so frustrating cause im not gonna yell & fight and curse someone out.
i happen to believe in having decorum.
but yet i feel like i want to say something but i just CANT and i dont know why. cause then that person will not understand why im giving them the cold shoulder, which makes me come across as a biatch & that person still talks & treats me the same way.
i dont know what to do. someone teach me how to be tough & speak up for myself without coming across as a bad person.

Walk Over Me
by Dirtie Blonde


Are you for real?
Are you yessing me to death?
You get my humor
And baby, I'm amazed
Yeah, this must be my day
You're too good lookin'
There must be something wrong
I'm sure you're taken
I'm doing it again
But I don't want to screw myself

'Cause you're a little bit too nice
I look a little bit like hell
'Cause I'm a little overtired
And I'm a little overwhelmed
And you're a little bit too late
And it's a little bit too soon
And I'm a little bit too strange
For somebody like you
Walk over me

So far, so good
You proved me wrong again
But I'm not certain
So can we fill the space
With this awkward silence?

Chorus

Walk over me

Chorus

Oh, it feels a little bit too right
So I know it must be wrong
I wanna take you home tonight
But I'm trying to be strong
Oh, you know a little bit too much
And it's a little bit too fast
I don't have the best of luck
With making these things last

Oh, I'm just a little like my mom
I barely get a wink of sleep
And I will never lie to you
And your secrets I will keep
Oh, you're just a little bit like me
Think you're a little bit too smart
I'm a little weary
So please don't break my heart

Walk over me
Walk over me
Walk over me


In other word, by not speaking up, I'm pretty much asking for it.

Hi!


I'm guessing I know everyone reading this.
so, YAY! & hi. & p.s. i love you.

now that all the small talk is out of the way...


today has been a rollercoaster of a day.

first off, i woke up at 9am
yall know me & know that that is SO not typically me
not only was i up early but i had to do stuff all day for my grandma
and i had to WALK everywhere
while wearing lacoste which arent known for their excellent podiatral support
yes, i just made up the word podiatral..deal with it. LOL.


then, the day got nothing but hotter & longer.

my friend & i got into the dumbest argument over something SO stupid & petty.
luckily, arguments between best friends last for less than 30 seconds.

haha. the argument went on while she was teaching me how to play
Mary Had A Little Lamb on her daughters tyco keyboard.
LOL.
so im guessing it wasnt that serious.
ummm, i dont really know what to write here

its different from a myspace blog
cause i write my blogs knowing they'll be READ
i dont think i could ever be really really personal on there.
i mean, have you tried to update your preferred list on there?
its impossible.
but i like this cause like i said, i KNOW everyone here.


sooo, i dont know i like being able to just say things here. its my first entry so i have nothing juicy to talk about YET, lol...but it will get better so stick around!


:)

love, Erica
