Awww :(

Why couldn't this happen when I was in Liverpool street station. Hopefully, when Brian and I go to London this'll happen on our way to and from Ipswich...


Damn you T-Mobile. Now I think your service provider is way more fun than Verizon :(

News Resolutions etc.

Wow, I should really write on here more. What a waste of webspace I have been. I booked my tickets for England (well Brian did) so I have something other than graduation to look forward to. I've bee looking into freighter travel too, it's cheap and you get to travel for like 55 days with all meals (and alcohol) included for like $1700. That's practically chump change*. SO now that the new years has past (like almost a month ago) I decided to list my resolutions to an uncarring world, and by uncarring I mean that I'm the only one who reads this. Ok here it goes.

1. Do my graduate school applications....now.
2. Enter lots of poetry contests. Any one I can get into.
3. Write more on here!
4. Write more in general.
5. Keep up the weight loss. 30 lbs. gone and many more to go :(
6. Surf more and go to the beach more.
7. Travel more, even if it's just a weekend thang.
8. Go hiking in blue ride mountains.
9. Go to Miami in the winter time.
10. Keep working out so I don't get my fat ass laughed out of Miami.
11. Call my Nana more.
12. Keep in touch with my cousins more. I miss them terribly!
13. Read some damn books (I'm a terrible english major)
14. Write at least 100 poems this year.
15. Cook dinner more often.
16. Spend more time with the cats.
17. Save mah mullah
18. Stop being so damn worried that I'm going to make an ass of myself.
19. Watch movies I should have seen 10 years ago.
20. Wash my car outside in the summer.
21. Stop stressing.
22. Keep up the French. I'm sure it'll come in handy one day.
23. Stop playing with my damn eyebrows!
24. Stop being a chicken shit and getting my legs waxed.
25. Hang out with my friends more.
26. Make some more friends (not that there's anything wrong with the ones I have now!)
27. Find the PERFECT sunless tanner and learn how to color my hands so they're not a different color from the rest of my body
28. Grow out this ugly ass haircut.
29. Find interesting blogs that I like.
30. Try and get more than myself to read this blog.
31. Run a 5k.
32. Go to some concerts!
33. Drink wine**
34. Eliminate high fructose corn syrup from the house!
35. Take more pictures.

Well that's all for now. I've got my work cut out for me this year. In all seriousness, all of this could easily be done in 365 days. 8,760 is a lot of hours to get something done. Well that is about all. I'm off to workout (yay...) and I WILL be updating this regularly. Later Gator

* Chump change is a great saying that needs to be said more often
** my beef with wine is that I always think it's going to taste like grape juice and even though I've probably had wine 20+ times I always have the preconception that wine=grape juice. This is not the case...

Back in the US...A?

I'm back from my Christmas trip to the UK and I'm already itching to go back. I love that place! I'm thinking the end of May I'll be returning with my bf. I don't have much to talk about, I'm about to go out to eat. I'll have to catch up later!!

I'm coming out...

No, I'm not a lesbian, but I am leaving my denial behind and coming out and saying, I am the fat friend. It sucks to say it, but the more and more I think about it, the more it adds up. I went shopping with one of my best friends last night and I didn't buy anything but a sweater because everywhere we went didn't even carry my size. It was a horrible feeling, even though I've lost close to 25lbs in the past 6 months, I still feel like the same fat Emily I was in April. It sucks when you've worked your butt off dieting and exercising everyday only to still be too big to wear cool things. I don't have nice clothes, just things I call my "transition" clothes which I just bought hoping I'd lose some more weight which are now either too big or a bit small. The worst is not being able to wear those super cute boots with the skinny jeans tucked in because a.) skinny jeans and fat people are a match made in hell and b.) they don't make boots for people with ginormous calves. Since I've been working out my calves are now like solid muscle and huge! It's irritating. Especially when your thin friends are unhappy with their size 7 and constantly talk about how they wish they were skinny and what diets they're on and they already wear a 4. It sucks, it makes me want to cry. I feel like an idiot even talking about this to the whole freaking world because I'm absolutely positive that no one gives a crap anyways so I guess I'll quit my rant. I just needed to get it out so I could move onto becoming the "not-fat friend".

Closed Pin Productions YouTube!

We have a site! Visit it HERE and see some awesome videos. There aren't any yet, but the video library will be growing!

The Party's over

Well not really. It's probably just started. I just finished my video project class, I had my final viewing today for my "Space Oddity" video. Everyone thought it was funny and my group's work was pretty much the only non serious work that was shown. My group member are awesome so we're going to keep the dream alive and start making our own videos and we're going to have a YouTube channel for our stuff! I'll post that later when everything is set all up, but as for now it's just kind of in the works. If we're going to be doing this stuff I really need to upgrade my editing software. I'm starting an "Emily needs Final Cut Express" fund for myself so I can put away some money to make this work! I'm excited and I hope we make some good stuff!!

Uggs?

So, someone get this straight for me; for the past like 4 years I've been hearing that Ugg style boot are out of style (I prefer to call them fuzzyboots). Now I sheepishly hide mine at my parents house until it gets really cold and I bring them to my apartment and ONLY wear them as slippers. But of course it never fails, EVERY year everyone and their grandma is walking around in their fuzzyboots! Don't get me wrong, I love my fuzzyboots to death (even they're missing a lot of fuzz) I got a pair of emu's when they first became popular, but I never know when they're out of style or not! I guess they're just not the "trend" people thought they would be because everybody sells them and everybody still wears them! Make up your minds people! Knowing me I'll end up wearing them years after they've fallen off the fashion radar. I'm kind of a late bloomer when i comes to fashion trends; I JUST bought leggings and started wearing long necklaces. I also own only one pair of skinny jeans, but they stretch out and just become slouchy and ugly. Whatever, my point is that I just want to be absolutely sure that it's sociably acceptable for me to wear my fuzzyboots, because I'll say it loud and proud: I LOVE MY FUZZYBOOTS!
