.my lucid skin.

the girl
my name is Erin.
I'm an 19-year-old girl from Sioux City, Iowa. I attend the University of South Dakota (Vermillion), where I am majoring in music performance (concentration on voice and piano). After college, I plan to work in musical theatre or opera theatre. I plan to get my Master's and Doctorate degrees in music, as well. I'm going to be in school forever... :P


right now I am...

listening to: Diana Krall, U2 (especially "Walk On" and "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"), Sarah McLachlan

feeling: spring fever! but end-of-the semester stress is kind of cutting into that.

reading: nothing in particular; too busy :P

loving the fragrance of: "morning glory" by Calgon


things I love
music (can I emphasize that enough?)
theatre
books
poetry
art
writing
Orthodox Christianity

Irish culture

clothing/costume design
the Renaissance

things I do
I play the piano, the violin, and the organ.
I'm learning guitar and harpsichord.
I sing (usually mezzo-soprano).
I love to write.
I love to read.
I love art and design. I love to create.
I'm in the process of converting to Orthodoxy.
I love to cook(I make a mean chocolate cake).
did I mention that I'm addicted to music? :)


not so cool facts about me
I despise eating, and I'm struggling to overcome that issue. right now, i just hate my body, and it's driving me crazy. blah.
I have generalized anxiety disorder/clinical depression. right now, I'm in remission, though, which is awesome (especially for everyone who has to deal with me :) ). consequently, my mission is to save the world, one person and/or one obstacle at a time. so, if anyone out there ever needs someone to talk to/with, I'm a free therapist at your disposal. :)

first and foremost, my purpose in life is to help people, and to be the best friend (and person) possible. I'm fortunate enough to have people in my life who have taught me just how significant that is.

that's me, in a nutshell. :)
