From: "Pia Eerikainen -Morel" To: Subject: Intro Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 07:18:29 -0400 X-Priority: 3 Oh hell, everybody's doing it. I might as well. My name is Pia Eerikainen-Morel. A few of you might know me as the really skinny redhead that keeps popping up at the clubs. I was born (and mostly raised) in Finland. My mother, a diplomat, was posted in Geneva when I was five years old, which is where I proceeded to forget my two primary languages, finnish and swedish, in order to learn french. When I was nine we moved back to Finland where I then had to re-learn everything. A pain. I moved to New York about 5 years ago, and found my way to the clubs shortly after arrival. I immediately fell in love with the city, mostly because it's this great big 24-hour kinda place, and partially because there simply wasn't anything to do in Finland. Met my first NY goths at a restaurant called the Night Gallery ( formerly on 7th Avenue, near 10th Street), and I've been coming out ever since. Met this tall beautiful man, (aka StMichael of Cthulhu Sex), we met, we dated, we got married. Yay! :) As of late I've mostly been getting my club fix in Philly, since the current NY clubs seem to be a bit on the weak side. I primarily work in the computer industry ( consulting, webdesign etc...), but I also do illustration and graphic design. I also go-go danced at LBV@Mother for a while. Those spotlights are just too damn hot! All in all I don't do much besides draw and paint, play with computers, dance and sleep. Throw in a thimblefull of martial arts, a few books a week, and many really annoying subway rides and you've got a pretty clear picture of a week in the life of Pia. hmm... Can't seem to come up with anything witty... ah nuts. That's all folks. I've got to go to bed before I nod off and brain myself on the keyboard. >^..^< Back to lurking...
