     Erin...   Yes, that is my real name...  Though it gives
people  the idea that I am  female when I correspond by mail
or  any typewritten material.   This REALLY  bugs the shtuff
out of me when it comes to trying to communicate through the
mail.   I think you can understand what I mean if you really
think about it for a while.

     My  interests are  fairly widespread as  you can easily
tell  when you first meet me.   I love to read horror books,
especially  any work by Stephen King,  but I have an intense
fear  of watching horror flicks.  Insane?   I don't know.  I
suppose that if I had to choose my favorite horror flick, it
would  have to be The  Prince of Darkness.   It caught me by
surprise  when I saw it...  If  you haven't seen it, it is a
must!   I also enjoy the  Medieval style books with knights,
dragons,  and magic.  They allow me to get away from reality
for  a minute for a relaxing  afternoon.  This is especially
helpful  for us people who have a hard time dealing with the
assholes that dictate life to us!

     Another  interest for me is music.  I love all types of
music  be it Rock 'n' Roll or Classical.  I mainly enjoy the
Beatles  in  old  time  rock... or  Pink  Floyd  (with Roger
Waters)  for classical rock.   (I like the meaningfulness of
the  old Pink better than their new  stuff.  I think the new
stuff  is TOO  easy to grasp.   Waters gave  the group their
deep intellectualism and powerful underlying sarcasm.)  With
today's  alternative music, I prefer Depeche Mode.  I really
enjoy  the style  they brought  into existence  (or at least
they  bettered  the previous  styles).   I really  enjoy the
songs  with underlying  themes. (with  any style  of music.)
Whitesnake  is also a favorite of mine, just for the fact of
the rock style and the GREAT sexual lyrics.  It is FANTASTIC
music  for certain  situations!   Classical music  has to be
religious  material  and  either  a  cappella  music,  or  a
powerful  pipe  organ  sound or  something  of  that effect.
R.E.M.  is also a  good choice for  music in the alternative
realm  of music.   I DON'T go for  the Christian Rock thing.
Please  realize I don't think what they are singing about is
stupid...  it is just the style they are TRYING to fit into.
And  for rap...  well, I have  never been fond of it, but it
is  better than no music at all.  (Maybe someone can help me
find  a way to enjoy  it.  Right now,  I really doubt anyone
can get me into listening to that stuff.)

     Role  playing games are one of  the best hobbies I have
for  myself.  I  like the idea of  taking situations in hand
and  seeing how I can personally deal with the problems.  It
gives  one  the  satisfaction  of  making  life  threatening
decisions  and possibly consulting with  others to gain more
knowledge of ideas and thoughts about the situation.  I find
the  aspect of RPG's exciting  and educational for those who
have  troubles making decisions in life.   With this type of
teaching,  they can  begin to  realize their  abilities, and
take  pride in the decisions  they happen to make especially
if they are successful.  I also like the way I can use it to
get  away from the problems I try  to deal with.  Hey, let's
be  real... one really  good thing about  this stuff is that
you  do get  a chance to  get together with  friends and eat
pizza!

     I  must include a section of  religion here for I think
it is important for people to see the way I view the subject
so  they will not  be apprehensive of meeting  me.  (I could
just see someone thinking I was EVIL or something!)  I think
religion is only good for those who do not feel secure about
themselves  within.  Those  who need religion  are those who
are  afraid they could not meet the expectations of a higher
being,  whoever that being  might be, and  the ones who feel
that  they need  someone to guide  them through  life to get
back  on their feet.   I think  religion for those mentioned
above  is needed, but once you get back on your feet and you
commit yourself to following the higher being, you are ready
to  pursue the  faith in your  own style,  backing away from
religion  a bit, or giving it up completely in faith of your
sights and beliefs.  I guess I believe in this: Believe what
you want to believe, do what you want to do, and be faithful
to yourself; but never let anyone tell you what you believe.
The  higher being made us individuals  so we could think for
ourselves.    If  you  wouldn't  have  been  expected  to be
individual,  then we  would be  livestock instead  of people
with  our gift  of self thought.   Have your  own beliefs in
life,  for if you follow a religion, you are being TOLD what
to do and how to feel.  You were created by some force to be
an  INDIVIDUAL.  To make things clear, I believe in God, but
I  know  there are  many other  gods  out there  that others
worship.   That's great  if it works for  them and they work
for that being.  By the way... if you find this interesting,
please  respond sometime...  It  would be interesting to see
other  viewpoints.  And  let me say:  I believe in evolution
and  in God's creation as the same thing.  Think about it...
it is quite possible.

     The  most undesired people in my eyes are those with no
self  direction.  Those who need to be TOLD what to do, TOLD
how  to feel, and TOLD how to be.  This deals with religion,
yes, but it is also deals a lot with life.  Get real...  Get
your  own life...  Don't let  people TELL you anything.  Let
them  put  in  their  two cents  and  then  consider (always
consider) all incoming thoughts.  Off of the information you
are  given, make your own assumption,  and stick to it.  You
are  the only one who  can TRULY tell you  how you are.  The
ones  who TELL  you how to  live are only  trying to control
you.  Those people are only used for higher government jobs.
If  you wanted  someone to tell  you what to  do, you should
have  been in Hitler's army.  I'm sure Hitler had a bit of a
say in what his men did.

     I  enjoy a good friend... I  hold them sacred.  Without
the  friends  I  have  today, I  have  reason  to  believe I
wouldn't  be alive.   If I  hold anything dear  to myself it
would  have to be my friends  above anything else.  I always
try to be as helpful and true as possible to friends who are
true  to me, for  they are my  life blood.   My friends will
always  come before  me in  life.   I hope  I can  keep that
promise.   I will try  my damndest to do  so.  They are that
important to me.  If I would ever lose one...
     I  get a  kick out of  disgusting jokes  and people who
also enjoy those tainted laughs.  They help us deal with the
everyday  life we lead.  And I can not pass up the chance to
flirt  with all  the gals  out there,  just to  keep them on
their  toes and keep them  happy with who they  are.  I hope
that  you will take my disgusting nature lightly and in good
humor,  for that is all I am  hoping for.  I never mean harm
for  anyone out there.   Everyone needs to  laugh and have a
good  time out there.  Let's all  get together and make it a
happy  place!   I  find most  people somewhat  attractive in
their  own ways.  I just  hope everyone will keep a positive
attitude  and a good sense of humor,  and all of us shall be
friends forever!

     Ok.    So what  am I  looking  for in  a woman?   (This
question was prompted before I wrote the original draft by a
close  female friend  of mine.)   Well, I  really don't know
about  the physical  aspects of it  all, but I  suppose I am
really  looking for a serious relationship right now, though
I would consider just a good, close friendship with a female
(though  I'd wish for more).  I  am not a REAL choosy person
when  it comes to friends.  I can find fun with about anyone
I  chance to meet.   I enjoy  a female with  a good sense of
humor  (as mentioned  above) and a  passion for intellectual
talk,  long  walks, and  romantic  candlelight evenings.   I
desire  that the woman  has a bit of  self confidence and is
looking  to be a upstanding person in life.  I would like to
say  that I am a romantic  person, but I have recently found
there  to be different versions of  this idea.  I believe in
opening a door for a woman, kindness (with a bit of teasing)
in a relationship (no matter how lax), and the fact that you
do not strike a woman.  These seem simple (maybe crazy), but
I  think  they are  important  to the  satisfaction  of both
parties.   I  would never treat  a woman wrong  and mean it.
That is not how I believe I should treat them.  They are too
few  and far  between to make  a disaster out  of a possible
relationship.  (The same goes for any close friend.)

     The  other  side...  the physical  side  to  my desired
relationships  contain few things that  I desire in the look
of  the girl.   I really  look for thin  girls (please don't
take  offense  to the  term 'girl',  I  mean it  with utmost
respect), but I have come to realize through time that girls
on the heavier side (with limitations, understand) also hold
something  desirable  in figure.    (My limit  of  weight is
variable  upon  the size  of  the woman's  frame  and build.
[attitude  has a lot to do with  it also.])  I don't believe
that weight makes them less desirable, it's just I find that
the  thinner, the more it seems that they take care of their
appearances  (I do understand that there are exceptions).  I
look  for either  extreme of height...   very  short or very
tall.   The girls  near my size  are great I  think, but the
taller or shorter they are brings an intriguing situation at
times.   It could  prove to be  interesting what the general
consensus of a very tall or short girl with a guy of my size
could  be.    (And  consider  the  possibilities  in certain
situations!)   Seriously  consider the  taller woman  with a
shorter  man:  It would seem as  if the woman is the head of
the  couple.  And  then there is the  opposite.  The shorter
the  woman, the more the  man stands over her  in height.  A
bystander  would  see the  man as  the  head of  the couple.
Limits  of 'near my size': 5'6" - 5'10".  But I can become a
close  friend easily with anyone.   (At least that is my own
opinion.)   Just remember  that I hold  first impressions as
the best impression you can possibly get from a person.
     And  let me say  something here to  define myself about
the girl I am looking for.  I know that the stuff said above
is  pretty natural and maybe sounds  a bit stupid, but it IS
what  I am looking for.  I just hope this person comes soon.
I am quite tired of waiting for this girl.  I am hoping this
girl  will just make her move and  cut out some of the stuff
of  being apprehensive of talking to  me.  If she could just
pop out of the woodwork, I would be ecstatic with happiness.
By  the way... she does have  to want to... take long drives
to nowhere for no reason at all... just for kicks!

     As  I  stated  before,  I like  the  Medieval  types of
things.   Something else  I like is the  Victorian style.  I
would  really love  to see a  gal dressed up  in a Victorian
dress.   Sure... it doesn't sound  too sexy or anything like
that, but I think there is something to be said about a girl
dressed  up beautifully.  I wish there would be more females
out there that would dress as such.  Truly beautiful.

     Take  pride in yourself and take good care of those who
take  care of you.  You might find that once you really take
time  out to know a person, they might take the time to help
you  in your  time of  need and that,  my friend,  is a good
feeling...  knowing there is someone out there who cares for
you  because you are you.   That is something that I believe
will help people out in the future.

     Just  smile if  you want  to make  friends...   It sure
helps and it DOES get people wondering what you have been up
to.  Keep that in mind!

     What  do I find beautiful?  A picnic on a summer day, a
blooming  garden, the high peaks of Colorado, a good song, a
loving woman, and a soft, starry night.  More?  A waterfall,
a forest full of life and peace...  More I can not say.

     If I have left anything in the open, please tell me.  I
would  be more than happy to  discuss any other option which
has  not been  covered in  this little  collection.   I know
there  must be  something I  left out  of the  picture and I
would like to make this thing as full as possible.
     Things to remember if we meet:

To All:
                   I don't want to start
                   Any Blasphemous rumors
                   But I think that God's
                 Got a sick sense of humor
                       And when I die
               I expect to find Him laughing

                         * * * * *

                      I will thank you
                      Most of all for
                The respect you have for me
                      I'm embarrassed
                      It overwhelms me
                Because I don't deserve any

To A Choice Collection of Ladies:

                         I am happy
                      That I have you
              Even though you're not here now
                      I know somewhere
                      You are dreaming
              Though it's definitely not of me

                         * * * * *

                      When I kiss you
                      And you kiss me
                 Don't pretend you miss me
                       The worst kind
                      Of diseased mind
                Is one filled with jealousy

  In fact, just listen to the song: "It Doesn't Matter" by
        Depeche Mode on the album Some Great Reward.

                         * * * * *

My  Only Plea: Bring a bit of  humor, a glass of wine, and a
     small kiss and I shall be content for the night.
