Hi, My name is Erin Horn. I’m 19 years old and I’m from Overland Park, Kansas. Being from Kansas, its always been hard being a Missouri fan in a land of Jayhawks, but I’m so happy to finally be here at Mizzou! Currently, I’m a Pre-journalism major, and hope to one day work for a type of magazine or advertising agency, possible taking pictures! (I haven’t decided yet, but I have time!) During in high school I was involved in such activities as Student Council, National Honors Society, cross country, track, soccer and tennis and my two favorite Yearbook and Broadcast staff. I know that’s vague and just so you can get to know me a little better Here are 5 other things about me you probably didn’t care about but can know anyways! : 5 Things About Erin!
Ice Cream- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ice cream! If I could I would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner! Basically I consider ice cream, my main nutritional intake of dairy for the day! In addition Mizzou has helped aid my addiction..I am definitely enjoying (and probably abusing my access to) the soft serve ice cream machines in the dining halls!
Harry Potter -I’m proud to admit that I am a Harry Potter Nerd. I have read all the books multiple times!!! And actually I highly recommend listening to them on tape! Jim Dale (the voice of the books on tape) = AMAZING! As you can see I went all out with my friends for the movie and book premieres last year! P.S. I was enraged when I found out the 6th movie wasn’t coming out until this summer! GRRRRR
Photos Photoshop and music -So technically that is three things, but they all go together in one way or another. I like to take photos. My dad has always been the crazy dad on the sidelines of every sporting event with his huge camera set up on a tripod snapping millions of photos. In addition he has so many awesome photos he has taken on various vacations and just in his spare time. We have a gallery in our basement and people often think they are professionally done which is sweet! To say the least his passion for photography rubbed off on me . Throughout high school I took photos for my school’s yearbook and went on random photo expeditions with my dad. I went all out last summer and asked for a Canon Rebel Xti camera (FYI: that’s really nice one!) for my birthday but paid for a majority of it. I loved that camera but sadly we were only together for a year because this summer it got STOLEN out of my car L I cried. HARD. That may sound pathetic but its true. I loved that camera so much!!! So now I just snap photos with my small digital hand held camera (which is a piece!) while I save up for another one. But anyway moving on…back when I had my wonderful camera, one thing I enjoyed taking picture of my boyfriend’s band (guitarist Taylor Boyd pictured above) and playing with a lot of the photos on photoshop. (Its so addicting!!! I can spend hours on end playing with Photoshop!) They liked the pics so much that they even let me design the cover of their Demo CD they recorded this summer! If you want to listen to some of their stuff and look at some other pictures I’ve taken their website is www.myspace.com/fairwayholiday
Running (and other sports)- I have always been somewhat of a tomboy and enjoyed playing all different types of sports. I have diagnoised myself with Sports A.D.D. because I can never do the same sport for to long. The way it works is I always find a sport I like, work hard to get good at it, and then after a while I get bored and want to try something new. Through out my life I have played and been competitive in tennis, soccer, gymnastics, softball, track and field, swimming and cross country. Cross country was definitely my favorite high school sport. Currently I am just enjoying running and going to the amazing Rec here at Mizzou. I actually joined the Mizzou Running Club (thanks to Mary, my fellow blog buddy, introducing me to it!) and am racing in a 5k run on Saturday J Wish me luck! But even if I pass out I still get a free t-shirt!
Humor and Pop Culture- Much like most all people on the face of the planet. I love to laugh! I love watching funny movies and tv shows such as (my favorite of all time) Arrested Development and the Office and listening to Stand up comedians such as Jim Gaffigan and Demetri Martin. In addition random YouTube videos are the best! Currently my favorites are the songs done by Bo Burnham such as “I’m Bo Yo” (you should check him out!) O I also love those shows on VH1 such as I Love the 90’s and Best Week Ever! My ultimate dream job is to be a commentator on one of those shows.
Alright, thats all for now! Thanks for reading all about ME! :)
~ Erin
