For those who don't know me, my name is Erica and I tend to go by the nickname Eeks (which, honestly, I prefer). I'd go into a whole summary of who I am, but I'd much prefer if you just came back every once in a while and learn over time about what makes me, me. It'll spare me some time.
So onto the blog!
Normally I'm not the type of person that makes New Years resolutions. Reason being is because they always last for a week if that, so why bother?
But this year I would like it to be different. This year I set up a few goals for myself that hopefully can be accomplished before the end of the year is out.
Super Serious Goals:
- Blog more often. I used to (well, still have) a Livejournal account, and I've had it for nearly 6 years, but I feel that I've grown out of it. Plus, since I started using Twitter, it feels like I've become more ADD on the blogging. So it's something I need to get back into.
- Create an album's worth of original music and maybe release it on CD. One of my dreams is to also do a collab with someone, but we'll see. Of course, before any of this really happens I have to purchase the proper recording equipment, which brings me to...
- Find a better paying job that doesn't pay once a month and get myself financially stable. Don't get me wrong, the place I'm working at is wonderful, just the pay isn't enough to keep me afloat.
- Trade in my car for a better, none rusted to crap POS. I love my car, it's cute and awesome, but the rust is killing me. Stupid Maine...
Fun Goals:
-Successfully stalk AlanDistro! Well, to be less creepy, help organize a youtube/nerdfighter gathering in his home state sometime in the summer/fall.
- Find more Nerdfighter/Harry Potter friends in the area.
- Become a ventriloquist. For Christmas, my brother gave me a WhatNot muppet (which made me revert back to my 5 year old self). I've always wanted to learn since I was in middle school and read those "Night of the Living Dummy" series by R.L Stine. Oddly enough, reading those books didn't scare me away from wanting a dummy.. I was a creepy kid. So now that I have an actual muppet, I can now start to learn puppeteering and ventriloquism.
- Audition and win a role in a play/commercial/film/etc. A very very very high goal, but something that would be cool to do. I miss acting (on stage), and it'd be fun to get back into.
So that's that. Some are realistic, some not so much, but it's nice to have some goals set.
I hope everybody has an awesome New Year!

I feel the same about resolutions. I just try to set goals for myself despite the time of year. Good luck with yours!
