hello everyone,
my name's erika. im obsessed with the arts. i take my work seriously and at the same time love it more then anything. ive danced ballet since i was about two, ive drawn and painted since as long as i could hold a paintbrush/pencil, and i started takeing photography classes, improv, and sculputre at FCCU and i love it a lot. my grandmother gave me her extremely ancient 35mm pentex, just before she has a stroke and i love that thing a lot. She recently passed away and it means even more to me now. i use it for everything and ill never let anything happen to it.

I love music SO much and my favorite band ever is THE VINES (wanna know what others youll just have to ask)

so ANYWAY... if you like my stuff review it, if you hate it review it too. i can take any kind of REAL comments. (and i keep all reviews up so that if anyone wants to see what other people's thoughts are, they can. and so far i only have two negative reviews (funny, their from brothers) and i think that their the only truthful ones i have ever gotten, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review my things i am on a mission to get EVERYONE'S thoughts.

LOVE

~*~erika~*~

some of my fave quotes-

"I would never smash my guitar. I think guitars are sacred and they all have souls. Except acoustic guitars. They're the devil's instruments." - Craig (from THE VINES)

"That's dead sexy." - Craig on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame talking about a guitar

"No way, I'd need Botox in my gut." - Patrick on why he would not rip off his shirt like Craig

"I don't mind. It doesn't hurt me if anyone says I'm not normal. I don't know what normal is. Sometimes I'm just really tired, or I haven't eaten, and people get the wrong idea about me." - Craig on people calling him strange

"We could go into the studio tomorrow and make another great album. I wanna go in and do hundreds and hundreds of tracks -- violins and cellos and everything. There's so much good music that's happening now, and we're glad to be part of it, with bands like the Strokes and the White Stripes. I don't think it's a movement. It's just real rock music. I like to think music is a healing thing, a meditational thing." - Craig on his favorite topic, music

"I don't think so. I'm too dumb to recognize anything. I'm kind of dull and slow." - Craig on girls hitting on him

"Women respect a man who can wash himself." - Craig in Rolling Stone September 2002

"I knew I couldn't get a job. I couldn't fit in socially. I guess I felt immature. I felt fucked up." - Craig Nicholls

"If anyone else asks me if I'm suicidal, I think I'll kill myself." - Craig Nicholls on those ever so stupid questions

"If I wasn't doing this I'd be able to have a girlfriend but I'd be put in a mental institute if I wasn't doing music. I don't want to meet a girlfriend in there." - Craig on his favorite topic

"Listening to music became an obsession for me. You could just put on a song and drift away into nowheresville in your head." - Craig, The Face Magazine Jan 2003

"Love. It's too hard. That's why I listen to music." - Craig Nicholls on love
