Hey, Erin from 2007, I've Accomplished (Almost) Everything You've Ever Wanted
In 2007, I wrote this entry. If you will pay attention to item number 4...Well, I moved to Boston and my job is, you guessed it, QA Auditor.

Fuck Yes I'm Going to Write About This Shit. You Can Go Fuck Yourself
So I had a fight with my mom. About the same topic yet again. I'm fat, therefore I am going to die and she will be sad and it will be all my fault because I'm the one who got fat.

For my brother's college graduation, she made lunch reservations at ( Read more... ) -

I Don't Pray, I Move My Feet
I wish I could relax. I wish I knew how. People who have known me for years would call me laid back, cool-headed, accepting...but my mom is not wrong when she calls me tightly wound and high strung. I'm always going. Always looking for what is next, never satisfied with what I have now. I have a need, and emptiness that needs to be filled. A ( Read more... ) -
