As requested, another bio.

Name- ERIKA
Special goth-vampirey name- None.  Give me a break.  I'm too old for that 
pretentious silliness.
Looks like- dark circles under eyes from not sleeping, Cousin Itt/Ramones 
style non-hairdo, slouchy
Have lived in- former bordello, former biker bar, next to chicken 
slaughterhouse
Now live- East Williamsburg Industrial Park
Formative years spent- Continental in Buffalo
Currently employed- full-time for doctor, part-time phones at dungeon
You may know me from- The Box at Byzantium
You would not know me from- Downtime, Limelight, or any other big, crowded, 
loud, expensive, annoying club that makes me want to kill within 30 seconds 
of entering
Likes- daikaiju, kung fu, and 50s sci fi films; Simpsons and X-files; 
Guiness; cooking for friends; plants; giving gifts; complete strangers who Do 
Not feel the need to come up and talk to me; bar instead of club; quality 
time alone; rare red meat; sarcasm; Contempt
Dislikes- people who try to be cool (aka 'gothier than thou'); having my 
picture taken; clunky/sandaly shoes (if you are unable to run away from a 
murderous lunatic because of your shoes, they suck and you may well be a 
trendoid loser); Bell Atlantic (almost a month and Still no phone. Grrr); 
sunshine; sugar; most things orange or brown; sloow walkers in front when I 
am in a hurry; roommates; garlic; when Mike replace Joel; pseudo-intellectual 
conversation; dating; lower case letters; even numbers 
Why I rarely post- nothing of Great Gothic Import to say

I may very occasionally sound bitter and sarcastic- mostly because I am. 
However, I do consider myself very lucky, because since moving here a year 
ago I have had the opportunity to meet some really interesting persons, to 
get into a number of bizarre situations, and to make a few wonderful friends.
Now shut up and leave me alone.
