[ about me: the early years ]

I was born on April 28th and was named Eric George Perez. My dad named me Eric after a movie star from Mexico whose movies he liked. My mom named me George after my grandfather who passed away shortly before my birth.

I was born and raised in Long Beach, California. I have brown eyes and hair and I stand in at 5'8". Although I have spent most of my life in Long Beach, I have lived else where. This includes a year in La Jolla, California; 3 months in Toronto, Canada; and 3 years in Oberlin, Ohio where I was going to college.

Whenever I find the time, I enjoying writing, running, swimming, watching movies, meeting new people and sleeping. When I am not sleeping or writing, I try not to be found - well most of the time. After all friends are a good thing to have and I enjoy hanging out with them.
