About Me

Greetings and Salutations! I'm Erica, but most call me MissE (run together like Missy) or just E. I just turned 21 and I'm repping good ol' B-more in the boonies of Reisterstown.

I like catching movies at the Charles, crepes, wearing Lolita clothing, history, flailing wildly aka "dancing", breaking into song at random moments and going to roller derby matches with my mother and seeing her scream for blood. In a nutshell, I'm kind of a dork, but it's cool.

I'm a bit of a hermit, both irl and online, but now that I'm 21 (a real adult...) I'm really trying to get out there and be social a bit more.

You can be my friend if...

-you understand the whole the "Golden Rule" thing: Seriously, it's really starting to get on my nerves how people decide to be real asshats on the internet because there's a screen between them and their target.
-you are not homophobic/biphobic: I'm going to come right out and say it. I am a bisexual and no it is not a phase and I am not in denial. Go somewhere else with that whole "You are going to hell" stuff.
-you do not mind the ruffles/lace: Comes with the territory.

In short, have an open mind with me and I'll have an open mind with you.
