The name's Erin Green, but everyone call's me Zippy, or Zip. I'm turning sixteen in a few months...
2. Tell us a little more about yourself. What's your personality like? Any bad habits? Any passions or ambitions? Any hobbies? What are your likes and dislikes?
Alright then. I mostly like to see the bright side of life. I have a great sense of humor, I love making other people laugh, and I love laughing. I'm generally friendly and always energetic, eager to make friends with everyone, even if I am aware if they dislike me. I'm pretty sensitive, but when things go wrong, I dont usually cry in public, or cry at all. I don't like to take crap from others, and I'm tough, but because of my sensitivity, I don't do much more than complain, fearing to stand up for myself if one truly hurts my feelings. I can be too dependent on other people that I'm close to, which can leave me feeling upset or sad when my dependence is forgotten or denied. I often don't like to get my hopes up, in case it doesn't go the way I want it to...then I'm crushed. I hate awkward silence, and I'm usually the one that begins a new conversation. I don't ever let my presence be unnoticed in a crowd, unless I'm unfamiliar with the people. I'm also always looking for a good time, and flirtatious with the opposite sex. As for likes, well...I really like to read....and write. But don't tell anyone about the writing part, though. I write poems and short stories on the side when I'm bored. But the reading part...give me any book, and I'll read it! Romance novels are my favorite, though. Let's see...and I always love going to plays and singing performances. I'm not good at singing and dancing, but I love to watch other people do it!
3. Now it's not like we're blind or anything, but how would you describe your outward appearance?
I have a thick bundle of brown curls that fall only a few inches past my shoulders; natural blondish highlights flow from my scalp. Depending on my clothing, my stormy blue-gray eyes are my best attraction, there's a small bump curving on the top of my nose, nearest to the eyes. Skin is only lightly tanned. About 5 ft, 4 in. Body is fit; everything is in porportion for the most part.
4. Not to pry into your business, but could you possibly tell us a little about your past?
I was born in Chicago, IL, to Lillian Green, a "widow" with three kids, counting me. I have 2 much older brothers, and when mother died of a disease when I was 5, I was to live with my eldest brother, Rob, in his apartment. Unfortuneately for me, Rob wasn't too fond of me living with him, so instead of letting me start an education, I was forced to work in a factory, even thoguh he was well off in those times, money wise. When his girlfriend left him for a wealthier man, Rob became an alchoholic, using the money in from my working, and he'd take out his anger that wouldn't disappear from the alchohol on me. When I began to hit puberty at 11, it was to my horror that he began to touch me, and soon enough, at age 15, came close to rape me one evening. Disgusted, confused, and hurt, I fled his apartment, taking with me as much as I could, hopping on the first train in the station, which was to New York. It was when I got there that I put my past behind me, starting over as the person I always hopped I'd be.
5. Do you have any living family members? If so, do they reside in New York?
My brothers, Rob and Eric, both are living in Chicago, but I'm unsure of my father, Edward Green, who I recently heard was still alive...*stops herself, not wanting to share anything else*
6. How about relationships? *Grins* Got a sweetheart or anything? Tell us a little bit about your significant other, or the one you admire from afar. *Wink*
*Grins* This is part of the interview? Well, if you must know...that cutie, Itey, we sort of have a thing...I wouldn't mind if it got serious, either.
7. Why did you decide to join our Second Heaven Community?
An old acquantance of mine, Raven, told me about it. She talked pretty positive of the place, and not having many other options, I decided to give it a try.
