The Many Layers of Erica.
LAYER ONE:

-- Name: Erica Pridgen (if my ancestors didn't shorten it, my last name would've been 'von Pridgenhousen').

-- Birthplace: Hood River, Oregon.

-- Gender: Uh, corn flakes?

-- Eye Color: Dark Sewer Brown

-- Hair Color: Dark Sewer Brown

-- Height: 5'7''

-- Righty or Lefty: Righty-O!! It's also the strongest of the two. (My left is pathetic, heh. U^_^)

-- Zodiac Sign: Leo. If you know me, it's too obvious.

LAYER TWO:

-- Your heritage: Uh...German Nazi!! Naw, just plain German. Mostly, anyway. Kidding, y'all. And I think the rest Irish or something. *shrugs*

-- The shoes you wore today: None so far...I love going barefoot. Maybe that's why my feet look so calloused. :confused:

-- Your fears: Heights, losing my friends to their own selfish desires, being clouded from the truth, and the paranoid audial/visual hallucinations I seem to get after dark, generally when I'm not around civilization. -_o Being alone and unarmed doesn't help the situation.

-- Your perfect meal: Chicken chow mein with sweet/sour ginger soy sauce, spaghetti, and buffalo burgers! AND CHOCOLATE SOY MILK! Not a meal, but my favorite foods, nonetheless. U^_~*

-- Goals you'd like to achieve: Working as an art director/character designer/concept artist on a development team. I've yet to try out computer animation. I will publish my Tizzy: Public Unrest comic and my Darkrose story (but I'm not even done with the Prologue, lol).

LAYER THREE:

-- Your thoughts first waking up: "Go pee. Now. Then cater to Toonces, Neko, Whiskers, and Pedro's needs. Then I can eat whatever's in the kitchen suitable for breaking my night's fast."

-- Your best physical feature: Whatever's between ground level and 67 inches off it, except for the butt. GAARGH!! :shakefist:

-- Your bedtime: Unlike a lot of people I know, I generally sleep between 7-9 hours every night, regardless. I can go to bed between 12-3 a.m. and get up between 8-10 a.m. Generally I get up around 8-ish.

-- Your most missed memory(ies): Huh? Being with my best friend Jon, which are also my most treasured, but second only to the memories I have with my family.

LAYER FOUR:
-- Pepsi or Coke: Neither. They include phosphoric acid, which eats away at the enamel on your teeth, not to mention it contains white sugar, which weakens your immune system somewhat for about 4 hours.

-- McDonald's or Burger King: Again, neither, which is one of the reasons why I'm Not Proud to be American. If I wanna burger, I wait until my dad's able to grill it on the barbecue. My heart thanks me.

- Single or group dates: Both! But if I'm just getting to know someone, a group date makes things easier and funner.

-- Adidas or Nike: Mostly Adidas--I like the striped, retro look they got. *shrugs*

-- Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: No tea for me.

-- Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate.

-- Cappuccino or coffee: Neither, but on occasion, coffee with cocoa mixed in. I try and keep caffeine consumption to a minimun.

LAYER FIVE:
-- Smoke: No. Why should I? o_O;;

-- Cuss: Without thinking, yeah.

-- Sing: Like Rikku from FFX-2. It's sad. But luckily, I don't sing very often--it's mostly cuz I suck with lyrics. >_O

-- Take a shower: Duh, unless I'm on a trip, lol! But I don't shampoo every single day, since it would wash off the good oils. But I am clean and niiiiiice-smelling, too, unless I've been over-active, heh. U^_^ Hey, I don't sweat perfume! Perfume sucks, anyways.

-- Have a crush: Ahaha...not for a good four or five years now. Even if I end up "having a crush" on somebody, I'll get over it quickly.

-- Do you think you've been in love: It's inevitable.

-- Want to go to college: It depends on what kind and what they offer. I'm not about to just grab one and expect good things.

-- Liked high school: Aaaaaah...mixed feelings. What stands out most is being goofy and stupid, and playing Smash Bros. Melee and Halo during lunchtime.

-- Want to get married: Mmmmm...I shouldn't be thinking about that now. But yes, of course, but when I'm 24-26, heh.

-- Get motion sickness: Yeah, unless I cover the car window to blot out the motion from the corner of my eye.

-- Think you're attractive: Lol! It depends on my mood. But yeah, of course, but not very much at all. But I do hate a few physical features about myself, of course, but I DO know that I'm fine, as long as I don't go over my jean size of 9 through 12-ish.

-- Think you're a health freak: My brother calls me a hippie. And I'm a tree-hugger. And I don't drive. WTF is wrong with that?! It's a bad sign in society when the name "health freak" becomes part of someone's vocabulary.

-- Get along with your parent(s): My parents rock. Most of this is due to respect and doing what I SHOULD do to them, not what my adolescent horomones tell me. Sorry, rebels, I don't succumb to ignorant bigotry anymore. I'm glad that phase is over with, heh! ^_^

-- Like thunderstorms: YEAH! WOOHOO!

-- Play an instrument: Recorder, keyboard...sometimes my brother's bass...and I suck all around.

LAYER SIX:
In the past month...

-- Drank alcohol: No, I prefer sanity.

-- Smoked: No, and for many legitimate reasons, too.

-- Done a drug: Over-the-counter or illegal? o_O;; Whatever I can use for allergies, but that's it. I can take heachaches.

-- Had Sex: No. I'm too occupied to care.

-- Made Out: No, and I'm proud to have the magic ability to control myself, whether or not I have a boyfriend.

-- Gone on a date: Hm. Well, no, if you mean with a boyfriend, although it doesn't really have to be one.

-- Gone to the mall?: That's a n00b question. Of course I have! The Edmonton Mall in Canada! w00t!!

-- Eaten an entire box of Oreos: No, nor do I plan to. Too much white sugar.

-- Eaten sushi: Nope. I prefer my meat cooked.

-- Been on stage: Yeah, but for an award and for graduation. I didn't even feel nervous, although I do get restless when I'm waiting to get off it. >_O

-- Been dumped: No. And "dumping" someone is a pretty low term to use. And so is "breaking up." Just tell people you're just simply not dating the other person, instead of being all dramatic and making a federal case out of it. o_O;;

-- Made homemade cookies: Yep. I hate cooking, but I love baking. To me, there's a difference.

-- Gone skinny dipping: Hell, no.

-- Dyed your hair: Ahaha...yeah, and I regret it. It was a nice bloody color though.

-- Stolen anything: Hm. The last thing I stole was a pack of gum from Roseaurs when I was four years old. But seriously, I'm not that much of a cheap-*** anymore. I walk the path of honesty.

LAYER NINE: (it's about time the subject focused on guys!! x_xU)
In a guy/girl...

-- Best eye color?: Why would that matter? It's not like I enjoy staring into his eyes for minutes on end! My attention span's too short. -_o

-- Best hair color?: AH! Dark. Oooh, yeah, dark.

-- Short or long hair?: I'm never fond of very short hair. Not shaggy or messy, but in a "you need to get it trimmed" look. Guys in Japan have that look, too. *_*

-- Best weight: No unders or overs for me.

-- Best articles of clothing: Don't care, as long as it's not the "baggy" look and their clothes aren't sloppy. I don't like big, loose t-shirts on my guys. It makes them look puny, lol.

LAYER TEN:

-- Number of drugs taken: Tch. Like I keep track.

-- Number of piercings: None so far. I'll get my ears pierced this summer, but that's all I'll do. I don't NEED any more than that. U-_-

-- Number of tattoos: None. Nor do I care. What's the point?

-- Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: I don't know. Maybe three times, including the high school paper, sadly enough.

-- Number of scars on my body: Hm. I used to have tons of cat scratches, but so far, there's only one on my left arm, where I accidentally stabbed myself while cutting a box up. XD

-- Number of things in my past that I regret: Since I'm honest, open-minded, and mostly, if not at all, humble, A LOT! The one that stands out the most includes my best friend, and only he should know about it. -_o

Hoped you enjoyed reading it... sorry it was so boring! Peace out!

So, Do I Do...
Art Trades - Nnnnnope.
Collaborations - Uh, no.
Requests - Tch--yeah! But if I have time. A friend wanted me to draw a vampire w/a katana, but I lost my patience and gave up. I couldn't do a good enough action pose. I'm a perfectionist. But if it's a fanart, such as DBZ, I'll need resources.

Friends, Loves and Clubs!
