This is me… five years later!
Hi there, again. My name's still Erinn. For those of you who are unaware, this is an update on my original This is me post, so you might want to go read that first in order to catch up. I have, in fact, taken good selfies in the past five years, I promise. But I …
I’m Turning 30
This is it, people. This is the year, and it's my time. I'm now Patrick getting roped by Sandy in that one Spongebob meme. I'm now Joey Tribbiani literally screaming, "Why, God, why?" at the ceiling, surrounded by all of the Friends. I can now play Bo Burnham's "30" on repeat, but only if I'm …
My Favorite Holiday Romantic Comedy
This is going to disappoint certain members of my family. Sorry, guys. I love Love Actually. I swear, I do. It's the OG ensemble film, a classic Christmas movie, and a really great romantic comedy--uh, drama--with incredible actors and all the feels. But my favorite holiday romantic comedy is, aptly named, The Holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDi5zH18vxU I don't even …
Be Better. Do Better.
This has been on my mind since we moved to Manchester, meaning I've been thinking about it on and off for the past year and a half or so. I've lived in apartment complexes for the past 6 years. I feel like I've seen a wide variety of neighboring tenants. In Albuquerque, a group of …
My Favorite Movie
I love a lot of movies... so many of them, probably too many. I love everything about movies. I pride myself on quoting classic lines from and identifying actors and actresses in numerous movies, even though both are tidbits of arguably useless information that I'm wasting precious space saving in my brain. I have full scenes …
My Favorite Song
I used to hate the idea of choosing a favorite. Besides my favorite color (green), I used to think that picking favorites of anything else was impossible. There was just way too much to choose from, I thought, and I didn't have the guts to narrow it down and choose only one when there were …
Friends
So this post had to go through a bit of a rewrite. I'll get straight to the reason why: a longtime friend of mine died yesterday. She had been in the hospital since February, fighting tooth and nail to recover from a cardiac arrest, and in the past few days, she decided that she didn't …
Family
This past weekend, I went to a family reunion in Maine. I think this was the first one in my life that I've actually attended for my mom's side of the family, one of the official, organized ones anyway. It was a lot to take in. Obviously, there was quite a bit to catch up …
The Struggle with Suicide
I want to preface this post by saying that I myself have never contemplated suicide. I haven't recently thought and I'm not currently thinking about killing myself. So I can't begin to comprehend what it must be like to experience the darkness and feelings that others have. I can only write about what I've seen, …
