Who Is This Strange Girl?

Alright, well, I assume you’re here to find out who I am. Although I’m not sure why this may interest you, I guess I can accommodate.

If you want to contact me, you can email me at speedfreakgirl@icqmail.com. Or I can be reached on ICQ#32357000.

Here's my most recent picture, which was taken in June of 1999. My hair was long. I miss it.

Here’s a picture of me which was taken in February ’99. I was quite grumpy and half asleep at the time the picture was taken, so that’s why it looks so horrible. Also, my smile is fake, if you couldn't tell. Since this picture was taken I have cut my hair to my chin. I let my cousin go crazy with scissors, but I actually like it short. But I guess you probably don't really care!

Well, I’m 17 years old, my name is Erin, and I live in Ontario. I don’t really know what kind of stuff to write here… So I guess I’ll discuss my jewellery. How boring is that? Ah well… I have 2 eyebrow rings in my left eyebrow, 3 belly-button rings, and a whole bunch of earrings. Ther are 18 holes in my ears (10 in the left, 8 in the right) but I’ve been told that there are approximately 35 earrings in my ears at the moment, but I haven’t personally counted them. People often ask why I have so many earrings but I don’t really have an answer for that. When I had 16 earring holes, my brilliant reason for that specific number was that there’s one hole for every year I’ve been alive. Unfortunately this reason is no longer valid, and it will not apply again until September 13th. So instead of asking “Why?” maybe just say to yourself: “Why not?”

* June '98-- I'm in my jammies!

Contrary to my grandmother’s belief, wearing a bunch of jewellery does not make me “evil.” I’m far from that. I consider myself to be a pretty good kid in that I get good grades at school, and I don’t do drugs or anything. I’m also not a shoplifter so it’s okay to not follow me around in stores, because if I see something I want, I will buy it with money that I have legally earned contrary to popular belief of “Punk Kids” such as myself. I’m pretty sick of the misconception that I must be some sort of a criminal because of my jewellery, my baggy clothes, and my tattoo. I’m also used to it, so it doesn’t get me down, but I am not a fan of ignorance and/or prejudice. If it bothered me that much, then I’d probably conform. I’m not saying I never will conform to what is “in style” because I don’t know what kind of person I will be in the future, but as of now, my style is staying just the way it is. I also consider shopping to be a real sociological experiment, while in trendy clothing stores. Actually it's pretty entertaining!


*November '98-- Me looking mighty unimpressed by my choice of beverage (for no particular reason)

I plan to one day be a lawyer, but if that doesn’t work out I’d like to be a psychologist or a cartographer. I’d like to be a lawyer because I get awfully fed up with society at times. So many people are treated unfairly, but they don’t do anything about it because they are either not aware of their rights, they don’t have enough money for legal representation, or they don’t think they would be able to do anything about their problem. These are people that I want to help, but I think most aspiring lawyers start out with this purpose, but as you know, not many of them stick with it. I hope I can be different, but I won’t know until the time comes. I’d like to be a psychologist once again to help people, and because I find psychology to be a very interesting field.
My reason for wanting to be a cartographer is more selfish I suppose; I have always had a strange fascination with maps (especially road maps). Another reason I like the idea of being a cartographer is because I would be using the mathematics skills that I have learned this year in math. I don’t particularly like math, but I have worked so unbelievably hard in class this year and I want it all my hard work to be useful for something.

I guess at the moment I don’t have anything more to say. If you have any questions, feel free to email me
Thus concludes your look into the life of the Speedfreak Girl.

*December '98-- Fun with leaves!
