About

So this is my blog.

This blog has gone through quite a few changes since I started it in January 2004.

Back then it was called ErinAbbott.com even though my surname has never been Abbott (it’s a long story).

In 2006 I renamed it Snarke.  The e is silent.

In June of 2008 I tore everything down and relaunched this site in a fit of “dammit I want to do something different and cool with my blog” after going to a Jen Lancaster book signing and watching a particularly powerful Grey’s Anatomy season finale.

That brings us to now.  Welcome!  My name is Erin and I started blogging in January of 2004 because my mother forbade me to get a “rememberance tattoo” after my friend Abbott (okay, so the story wasn’t that long) died in a car wreck.  I was 25.  I’m turning 32 in a few days and I am just NOW (6/3/2010) getting around to putting this page together.

Hi, My name is Erin and I’m a procrastaholic.

I know that some bloggers put those “100 things about me” lists here but who has time to read 100 things?  Moreover, how would I find the time to write 100 things?  So let’s just see how far I get before I feel too guilty about slacking on the stuff that pays my rent (do you want to pay me to write for you so I can pay my rent?  I’m totally available).

The first blog that I ever read was Wil Wheaton’s.  The second blog I ever read was Jen Garrett’s.  I still read both of them now.

I’m pretty sure they are the only two that I still read from my early days of blogging.

That makes me feel a little guilty.

It took me a while to get the hang of commenting on blogs.  I always felt self conscious and would e-mail the Bloggers instead of just leaving comments in the public space.

I’m sure that this was not annoying at all.

I work from home as a freelance writer.  I mostly write articles for other people’s websites and copy for their business.

My dream job would be to work from home as a full time blogger.

My favorite television show of all time is West Wing.

My favorite movie of all time is The Muppet Christmas Carol.

My favorite/theme song is “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)” by REM.

Sometimes I really miss singing in front of other people but I do not have the guts or bravado to do any sort of karaoke singing.

I think spaghetti tastes better when warmed up the next day.

I walked down the aisle to a string quartet version of “Want you Bad” by The Offspring.

Seriously.

I chose the string quartet version because the lyrics to that song are awful for a wedding.

I chose it for my wedding because it plays under the opening credits of the first movie that my husband and I bonded over (and that, when he found out that I had seen it already and LOVED it, told my now husband that I was, quite possibly, “the one”).

That movie’s name?
