The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb, But The Wolf Won In The End
:: You
Name/Nickname: Erin/Stretch
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Likes: boys who’ll play Halo with me, Marvel comic books, deep dish pizza, the Chicago White Sox, puppies, throwing pottery, country fairs, Photoshop, the democratic party, roller coasters
Dislikes: the Chicago Cubs, sub zeros temperatures, salads, the GOP, people who can’t park straight, speed limits, long lines, retail, people who don’t vote
Hobbies/Talents: I play a mean first base in softball, I can hotwire a golf cart with nothing more than a screwdriver and an (empty) beer bottle, I can assemble an 72 inch IKEA Billy bookcase in just under five minutes
Fears: Spiders, failure, letting down the people I care about
Goal/Dream(s): To get accepted to, and finish law school in time to help put my little brothers through college (they’re 5 years younger than me). To get a real job where I can take care of myself and do something I love at the same time.
Strengths: Customer service has allowed me to reach amazing new levels of tolerance and patience, not to mention seriously improving my problem solving abilities. I’m very loyal in my friendships. I’m a natural leader who tends to work really well under pressures and deadlines.
Weaknesses: I’m headstrong and stubborn at times, especially when faced with conflict. I cannot tolerate general stupidity. I can get very politically militant when I’m irritated about something. Despite my best efforts I am a horrible speller and editor.

:: This or That

Impulsive or Cautious: Impulsive

Who is your favorite character and why? Hands down it’s Jacob Black. Not only is he a loyal friend, but he has a sense of humor and a confidence that I appreciate. Not to mention the fact that he treats Bella like a person, rather than an object that needs constant protecting. His relationship with her develops naturally, based not on the desire to eat her, but on their mutual affection for one another. Despite being a werewolf, Jake strikes me as one of the most human of the group.
Would you rather be a Vampire, a Werewolf or Human? Why? I agree wholeheartedly with Rosalie that becoming a vampire (willingly) is a mistake on anyone’s part. Then again, I’ve always wanted to be a superhero so the idea of becoming a werewolf appeals to me. You’d get to have enhanced speed, strength, senses, and yet still live, bleed, age (eventually) and have a family. I want to get married, have babies, and grow old one day, so becoming a werewolf seems like the best option for me.
Put yourself in Bella's place. If you had the chance of changing into a Vampire or remaining Human what would you do? Stay human. The thing that always irritates me about Bella is that she never takes her family into consideration when chosing to become a vampire or not. It will destroy Charlie and Renee if they never get to see her again or think she’s dead. Rosalie is right, Bella is wasting the gift of her humanity by longing to become a monster.
What do your friends and family mean to you? My family means everything to me. No matter how bad things get, or how dysfunctional they may be, family is the people who will truly take you for who you are. They’re there for you, you’ve always got their back. They’re the only people you can really depend on to never let you down. The same can be said for my real friends. They’re just as good as family in my book.
