Hi, my name is Erin…

And I am addicted to Ebay. It’s a sickness. I don’t spend that much, but I check it obsessively. (About 75 times a day) I have other things going on but if I even glance in the direction of my office I have to know what’s going on with my bids. I spend hours poring over selections of vintage dresses, designer high heels, just whatever. Carefully placing them in my “I’m watching this item” bin and mostly never bidding until I find that sweet deal. I spend a lot of time thinking about my bidding methods. How to swoop in gracefully in the last hour and get that item you really want. The rush of the “you won this item” email. And now, it has come to the point, when I go to the mall, I see a cute purse or cute shoes and say to myself… “I bet I could get that on eBay for so much cheaper….” *sigh* I’d love to write more, but I have to go check my eBay account.

as a journalist
i worry too much about the job
to really excel.
(it’s not that there is any
competition.
it is an arena filled with idiots.)

as a photographer
i am mediocre at best.
(not that it matters much.
it has always been a hobby
i was paid for.)

as a poet...
as a poet...
as a drunken fool,
i am the best!
i raise the bar,
and often enough,
close the bar.
i don’t lose that one.
hell,
i don’t meet many
who can even begin
to reach my standards.
