About Me

Hello! I’m Erika from Canada, and I love riddles, word games, and I've probably done over 100 puzzles in the last few years.

I love ALL genres of books (I don’t discriminate) but especially poetry and fantasy. I love tea (I drink ginger peach daily. Like 3-4 cups a day!), and journaling.

I’m obsessed with Sailor Moon, the colour green (dark, moody forest greens, especially paired with a light pink, so cute!), and cows are my favourite animal 🐄

I work in the film industry, and we do superrrr long hours so I love to be cozy at home, usually wrapped in a blanket playing Sims 3 or watching Critical Role, while eating dark chocolate.

I collect watches, my most prized possession is my beautiful monstera (her name is Emmy), and I’m a sucker for a good cheese fondue. My dad's side of the family immigrated from Switzerland, so we take cheese VERY seriously in this family.

I LOVE:

-TIKI !!

-nail stickers

-tea & coffee

-washi tape

-sticky notes

-temporary tattoos

-dice/D&D

-memes

-coins

I DO NOT LIKE:

-anything religious -anything political -anything drug/alcohol related -gore/violence/horror movies -teacher/reward stickers

Favourite Teas

I drink mostly herbal teas but to be honest I will drink anything as long as its not artificial tasting! My favourites are Ginger Peach, Earl Grey, Jasmine, or anything fruity! But I am always willing and excited to try new things so please don't hesitate to send whatever :)

Favorite Books

I have read hundreds of books and am always looking for new recommendations! My all time favourite books are (in no particular order)

-The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

-The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

-Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

-Goldenrod by Maggie Smith (not the Maggie Smith you're thinking of)

-You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie

-A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

-The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

-The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

-The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo

-The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

-Caraval by Stephanie Garber

-The Alice Network by Katie Quinn

-Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Favorite Television

I watch way more TV than movies because I have a short attention span. Here are some of my faves:

-How I Met Your Mother

-True Blood

-Battlestar Galactica (the newer one)

-Vampire Diaries

-Sailor Moon

-Downton Abbey

-Jane the Virgin

Comment: Thank you for sharing. You definitely should visit Egypt. I've been there, just after high school. It's true you have to "not" see some parts, but the richness of it's historical treasures overlaps any other objection.

Comment: Happy Belated birthday! Sorry to hear that the strike has affected your work. I loved working at the movie theatre. If I could make it a full time job I would, but unfortunately it was part time and minimum wage, which I cannot afford to have right now with a growing family. Best of luck.

Comment: I totally agree everyone should read Night! I also said knitting for a skill I'd love to learn! I played Shadowrun as a kid! It's like D&D. I'm the same with textures I think I have the avoidant/restrictive intake disorder.
