I realize it is an unconventional pick, but then again aren’t all these fictional women just representations of qualities that resonate with us? Why not an anthropomorphic cartoon rodent? Because for me it all comes back to being seven years old watching Disney’s The Sword in the Stone on betamax at my grandparents house. With just a few minutes of screen time my ideals of romantic love were forged by a frisky girl squirrel’s ardent pursuit of young Arthur in squirrel form. These were the dream girl characteristics: cute, playful, affectionate, daring, confident, funny, and fully committed without reservation or judgment. This was a girl who would see that you are special and make sure you knew it, too. Someone who doesn’t play games, always has your back, and likes you for you. Someone who is sensitive, faithful, and devoted yet also tough enough to jump in a kick some ass if you are in danger. And Art had to go fuck it all up by turning back into a human and breaking her little squirrel heart. The sadness of the ending just made it all the more clear: if your lucky enough to find such a pure and simple love you’ve got to do your part and give it back. Take care of your squirrel mate.

actually though, how many blogs do you need
so in an effort to make everyone’s lives more complicated and, therefore, interesting, I have opted to make this blog about things I “like” (see: things that I think you think that I like that will make me appear awesome and cool), and make a more “work-centric” (see: boring. jk, it’s not boring to me) at

you: wait, erin, wasn’t this at one time the place of THIS blog, where I was able to read about your work and also see videos of puppies playing from time to time?
me: that’s true! but this way, we all win. I have more internet presence (see: things that may or may not be made up by social networking advocates), and you have another google reader item to occupy yourself while you “work” (see: refresh your google reader for unread items).
also, now this blog is fluorescent yellow. the end.
