Name: Erin Eloise
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Horoscope: Virgo
Does your sign fit your personality? Sort of yes, and sort of no. I am slightly OCD, and incredibly over analytical, but I hate cleaning my own home. I absolutely love cleaning other people's homes (I was an organic house cleaner for a year), but when it comes to mine... I'm also very intelligent but I'm very lazy. More than anything I'd rather daydream and procrastinate than do my homework.
Likes: ballet, jazz, musical theatre, acting, modeling, opera, all that artsy stuff, Bikram yoga, teaching dance and acting, gluten free baking, planning my wedding, manga, anime, and "good days"
Dislikes: breast cancer, homework, anything that makes me anxious, watching what I eat, um... mean people?
Describe your strengths: I get extremely calm and am able to think clearly and quickly in an emergency. I work well with children, which has allowed me to be a ballet teacher. I also am able to see the good in everyone. Plus I have learned to cope with all my problems very well, at least in public.
Describe your weaknesses: My immune system is seriously compromised, so its hard for me to stay healthy. I always care way too much about what other people think. I'm overly analytical, and I dream up situations that will never happen, but I still stress out about them (think Elliot Reid from Scrubs). I freak out over insignificant things, but not the big things. I can be implusive at all the wrong times.
Five words to describe you: concerned, capable, delicate, loving, trusting

T H I S + O R + T H A T
Introverted or extroverted? extroverted most of the time
Hugs or handshakes? it depends on their body odor... but usually hugs!
Confident or shy? that completely depends on the social situation. I'm an actor, so if I'm supposed to be confident, I am!
Mature or playful? In my head I'm a very mature person, but I choose to be playful, where is the fun in maturity all the time?
Impulsive or cautious? Ugh... most cautious, but occasionally impulsive
Video games or read a book? Video games when I don't have a ton of time on my hands, but when I have a few hours to kill, I'll read a book.

It's Halloween and your school is throwing an awesome party there at night. You're completely stoked, are meeting your friends there, and already have your costume picked out. On your way there, you run into a scary Youma, attempting to ruin your plans. What is your strategy? I would get so pissed off that in my haste to dust him I would almost forget to transform. Although when I do, they are gone in seconds. And since everything would happen so fast, my makeup would still be completely in place. And because of the fight I would get a fabulous flush in my cheeks, a perfect new addition to my outfit!
You're at school and a handsome boy walks past you and smiles. Then next day he's in one of your classes and he's having trouble concentrating, glancing at you every other moment. The bell rings and he starts walking towards you. How do you react? I would blush furiously but still give him a big smile and say, "Um, hi, did you have a question?" Then push back my hair with my left hand and pray that he notices my ring so the conversation wouldn't have to get more awkward.
A new ride opened at a nearby amusement park. You want to go, but start hearing rumors that the ride is terrifying and some people are still having jitters three days after their experience. What do you decide to do? RIDE IT! Although I would almost piss my pants right before I got on, I would be fine, because I would get to crush my fiance's hand during the whole ride.
You're heading to your destination when you see a shy girl being bullied by three older girls. They push her and she looks like she's about to break down in tears. What is your reaction to this? In my imagination I would punch them, but then I would sort of rationalize, approach them and say, "Excuse me! What do you think you are doing? Back the f*ck off hoes." Those girls know I could kill them with my legs alone. Then I would wrap my arm around the shy girl, consoling her as we walk away.
You've just met your idol/role-model/favorite celebrity, and magically are able to spend a whole day with them. Who are they and what do you guys plan to do? Well Judi Dench and I would spend the day around London, she'd coach me on some of my classical monologues, we'd go see a show, and then have gin and tonics afterwards!
If you could change one thing about the world what would that be? Everyone would have proper health care. There would never be health insurance companies denying people because of "pre-existing conditions". Every cancer patient would be treated the same, regardless of their salary.
What are your goals and aspirations for the future? Someday I hope to go back to the theatre and play at least one of my favorite Shakespeare and Chekhov roles. Never to have a reoccurance of my breast cancer, although that's not something that is really up to me. I want to have a beautiful home, be a wonderful wife, and be the best mother that I can be! In the short term, I hope to walk in NY Fashion week next year.
What is your general clothing style? When I'm not "trying", I usually wear classy jeans (Joe's please!), a slouchy t-shirt (my new obsession), a comfortable heels. When I'm "trying" you'll usually find me in a dress with a cute cardigan, sexy heels, and a wide belt. But overall I would say my look is classic, and slightly whimsical.
This is your chance to show what you like in video form. Go on YouTube and find one of your favorite videos. Post the link here and describe why you like it. If it's a song, you may post the lyrics, too.
Its one of my favorite songs of all time, and every time that I listen to it I feel like I'm about to cry. Its just so tender and beautiful. And this version, with Jordan Rudess on keyboards, is magical in every way.
