Girl of the Week is...

Erin


Girls of the Week don't get much wilder and crazier than Erin. She's out there all right, and she's got some real blonde moments. All that aside, she's still an amazing girl and a good friend, and therefore truly worthy of this sort of fame!


I actually met Erin while she was a high school senior. Since last year, I've worked with the "Monday at TCU" campus visitation program. She visited the college last fall with her dad. Everyone wears name tags with their hometown on them. Making small talk in the lunch buffet line, I noticed she hailed from Katy, Texas. Good old Scott Hatter is from Katy, so I delve into the "Do You Know So-and-So" game. First, I probe to see if she attended Scott's high school, James Taylor (not named after the singer/songwriter unfortunately). Turns out she did, so I go in for the kill: "One of my best friends went to Taylor. Do you know Scott Hatter?" Her brain starts working and she gets real excited. Turns out, Scott lives directly behind her in Katy. Wow, small world.

Fast forward to fall 2002...Erin is now a freshman at TCU. Me, having a good memory, remember her after a quick check in the archives. I didn't bring it up because she obviously had no clue about our previous meeting. She joins HIS, the Christian sorority. She also accompanies Jose, Anton, John, and I on the Liberty Bowl trip. Eventually, I bring up the Monday at TCU story, and finally she remembers. She mentioned that her dad recalled me, asking her "did you ever meet that friend of Scott's?" Well, she had.

So Erin has her blonde moments. She's the roommate of Meredith Baker too, and likes Friends (the TV show) nearly as much as Adrienne. She has to get into the "Friends Zone" where she focuses on the TV and nothing else. She played volleyball in high school, I'm told.

Erin has two major worldly loves: baseball and pie. I am very impressed with girls that love baseball. Most likely they can't keep up with me, but that's understandable. On a side note, I had a girlfriend once who loved me so much she memorized the entire Opening Day roster of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Erin seems like she would already know the Opening Day roster. And pie...man, who doesn't like pie??

While I was snapping photos of Erin, I told her to "look sultry." The next photo is what she gave me. I think she nailed it.
