Welcome to Ryke's Life, I'll be your host. You can call me Ryke or Iri or Erika, frankly, I don't care. My life is rather dull so some of the things I put in here won't exactly make you jump up and down with excitment the way they do for me. That's ok though, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even if it is that metal is the only music worth listening to (Asp ^_^, don't you just love those private jokes). Myself, my opinions are rather unclear, even to myself and have a habit of changing from day to day so you're going to have to stay tuned if you really care.
*sigh* Like the man said; all good things must end. I'm back home in Edmonton and I find myself desperately missing my sweet Denver (the person, not the city). The ride home was long and difficult (2 ½ tear stained days on a Greyhound is always difficult) and I return home to find that my house is being sold *a sarcastic woohoo* So if anyone in the Edmotnon area is looking for a freshly painted three bedroom townhouse with a finished basement that has acted as my room for the last five or six years of my life, e-mail me.
So, who is this crazy Ryke person anyhow?
This is a pic of me and one of my very dear friends, Twyla (also known as Twinks), who I had the pleasure of meeting just before I set off for America... she came for my 18th Bday, my best present of all! This is Stephe... he begged me to put this one up ;) Here is a pic of most of my best friends from highschool (conspicuously missing would be the guys I'm friends with)
Well, This is me. It's not the greatest picture I've ever had taken of me
but then who honestly ever thinks that any picture is particularly good? This one was taken
about a year ago. I'm 18 right now (this has said 17 for so long that people must have thought I was immortal! ^_^),
I graduated from highschool last year so the picture below just keeps getting older and older but it's still a pretty acurate reproduction of me =).
I went to the best highschool in the whole world, belonged to the best group of friends in the
whole world and played in the best highschool Jazz Ensemble in the whole world (I play trumpet).
I miss it all desperately but ah well, life goes on, oh bladee oh blada and all that.
To answer a couple of my own question, my favorite anime is Vision of Escaflowne at the moment,
my favorite character would have to be Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi (she/ he is sooo funny!),
my favorite author changes all the time; I read Orlando by Virginia Woolf a little while ago
and I really like her style, my favorite book is Goodnight Moon; a children's book my mom read to me when I was a
baby, I've read better books since but none of them stick in my mind like that one, my favorite chocolate bar
is Reese's Peanutbutter Cups (mmmmmmmm peanutbutter), and my favorite ummmm stuff is deffinetly
split between the trumpet and my wonderful boyfriend, Denver. I won't put any comments
because I think the ones above are sufficient.
