[edit] Early Life
Ericka was born on August 11th in a place just north of San Diego called 'Fuckinawesometown'.
Somewhere along the way, she became obessed with music, Anita Baker, learned a small bit of Spanish, and the Piano.
She knew, at an early age, that life should be about 3 things:
- No Drama
- Get Music
- Get Money
It has been her goal to achieve these things ever since.
[edit] Childhood and The Teen Years
At the age of 7, Ericka moved to L.A. so her mom could finish her Masters @ LMU. For a short time, they lived in Pomona, where Ericka met a great little guy named Justin (who will come up later). Somewhere around the age of 10, Ericka figured out that the average person either sucked ass or was just a pointlessly mean individual. This was also around the point where Ericka won a Full Scholarship to The Colburn School of Performing Arts, which later became the Colburn School. (Fancy Bitches. I REMEMBER BACK WHEN WE WERE ON 39th AND FIGUEROA. DONT GET SNOOTY.) Her love for music intensified, and she became a dedicated Music Nerd. She also began to pay very close attention to who she called 'friends.' (they too have to be Music Nerds of some sort.)
High School was irritating for Ericka, as she was surrounded by shallow, gossipy idiots who were more concerned about the name brands of clothes that their parents bought them and starting useless bullshit rather than being focused on no drama and getting/music/money. To distract her from the typical High School bullshit, and have a legit reason for getting out the house every friday night she did join the Short Flags team, Cheerleadering Squad, and was ASB Student Body Vice President for a short time. (mostly to shut her Mother up. She never did though.) However, when Ericka got a job at the age of 15 at Jamba Juice her obsession with getting money and music truly began.
This was also around the time she received her first 'Super Computer' from Gateway and her love/hate relationship with the interwebs began. Somewhere along the way at a great site, long ago a little Lunar Child blessed her with the 'Empress' title when given an ownership/mod position and it has stayed with her ever since.
[edit] Early Adulthood to Present Times
at 17 during her Senior Year in High School, Ericka was in an overblown argument with her mother and decided to move out using money she had saved from Jamba Juice, and running merchandise at the aforementioned website. Even though her grades sucked, Ericka did manage to graduate on time and pay for all her senior costs herself, which included Prom Night, along with Rent... all by herself. A proud moment that taught her the value of Independence. Soon after, she started college, moved out to Venice for a while, went to alot of concerts, found Kaki, changed jobs, invested her money half way decently, and moved to a new, secret, undisclosed location. Somewhere along the way, she ran into Justin again, and they became the bestest of friends... just like old times. She currently works at a Credit Bureau Department, is still obsessed with music in an unhealthy way, has hoarded and purchased 1500+ CDs, is tryinta bring the Piano and Kempo Hapkido back, runs around following her favorite artists with her trusty Video Camera, is still trying to finish the eternal struggle that is school, and currently, is the happiest shes ever been.
