COOL.

so I've been iTunes shopping a lot lately and I've found some awesome songs. (: I found this cool band called the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They have a kinda cool, electronic, alternative, disco feeling. iTunes describes their singer (Karen O) as "wrapped in disco-taped chiffon for disco drag-outs 'Zero', 'Heads Will Roll', and 'Dragon Queen'". Cool description. (: AND I realized that its the music they play in FOREVER 21 stores(: Hahaha, their songs like Maps, Zero, and Gold Lion are cool. Also, I'm really getting into Florence + the Machine. They're an awesome band. (:
AND, finally, a few days ago I found out about Paramore...so sad...their drummer and guitarist left. :/ well, that's the update for now, OH and we're leaving tomorrow to go skiing so I won't be on my blog for the rest of the week. We'll come home on New Years day though, so then I'll be able to let you know if I've broken anything while skiing :P HAHAHA, well...Happy 2011!!! have fun on the rest of winter break(:

Much love,
Emily
P.S. Here's an example of one of their more upbeat tunes "Zero". (: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwqlaiPr3_8 (yes, its a bit weird, but that's what makes it so cool :) )

I have a new understanding for others...it's not all about me, learn to except who you are and what you have. (:

more pictures...I guess i'm in a modeling mood or something...

hahahaha yeah...just wanted to see what these looked liked edited....pretty cool in my opinion :P

 I think this one is cool...it kinda represents trying to escape the noise and craziness...getting to silence...in a way :P

This one has to be my favorite...just seems carefree and magical...Tell me what you think...(:

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all had a glorious holiday and stuff. (: Hahaha, yeah. So, what did you get for Christmas/ Hanukkah?

I got a cute headband (see photos), SUPERCOOL sock monkey mittens, TOM'S (shoe brand for charity: every pair purchased gives a pair to a child in need), four bracelets, 3 pairs of earrings, 3 mini tubes of lip gloss, yoga clothes, a running jacket, a new yoga mat, new makeup, candy, fuzzy socks, iTunes gift cards, money, a Lady's Manners Book, a FOREVER 21 gift card, and probably a couple other little trinkets. Yeah, I got a lot, but trust me, it's not all that much compared to some of my cousins and siblings.
SO, merry Christmas to you all, and a happy New Year too.

Much love,
Emily (:

talk

you have to talk about it for people to actually understand what's going on. you can't just leave it in your head or on a blog and expect people to understand everything that's going on. i'm here, your family is here, so tell me...
What's wrong? and i will understand.

"And who ever told you you were so special?!" "You did."

Have you ever seen the movie Fame? That's what that quote was from. I think about that a lot...
Like, what would it be like to have your parents say that to you every day?
Just think about it: I'm so lucky to have two parents, to have a loving family, and to get something for Christmas. NEVER forget how lucky YOU are. Even if you aren't, you're here, in this world, fighting for this life. If you're depressed, talk about it with someone you can trust. You're never alone, someone's always right next to you. If you bottle it up, it just. gets. worse.

gosh, I sound exactly like....people from my school. Just tryin' to make ya feel better! Oh, and Happy Christmahanakwanzika. :D

never forget that everyone is fighting their own war, just like you.

okay, Scott Pilgrim VS. the World = AWESOMENESS AND STUFF. :D

Love. That. Movie.

It's an epic of epic epicness.

AND STUFF.

I never thought I'd be one of those girls.

So lately my family has been telling me, "Don't eat too much, you don't want to get fat," at every little thing I out in my mouth. Ever since the soccer season has ended my parents have been hounding me to "get involved" and stuff. And every time I maybe, have a cookie or something, they tell me "Watch put for what you eat, you don't want to eat to much or else you'll get fat." Well newsflash for all of you. I'm done. Maybe I should start skipping breakfast. Stop eating snacks. Eat tiny meals for lunch and dinner. Because I'm done with my family trying to hint me in on eating too much. Cuz all I'm hearing is "YOU'RE FAT." Don't tell me I'm not, don't tell me I'm perfect the way I am. Because I know, and I've always known, that I am a little pudgy. Just being honest. And I've always said, "well maybe I could just go for a run every weekend, eat a little healthier, don't go for seconds," Guess what? It's not working. I'm tired of it. I want to lose a little weight. My height doesn't factor in in the 160 pounds that I am. Just like 15 pounds. I'd be perfect for my height! Even the doctor says I'm a little over weight for my height!

Why can't teenage girls just be normal?

oh yeah, that's right,

because they're teenage girls. And all our lives are filled with drama. That just means we're special. (:

The present is a gift. Live it while you can. It's not about tomorrow, or even yesterday. It's about now and what matters now.

Everyone's beautiful inside and out. Don't question whether you're supposed be here or not.
"You were given this life because you're strong enough to live it."

I feel like one of those girls who you'd think has it all, but feels trapped inside a box of expectations.

Just letting you know it's all good. (:

well i HAD a tumblr

my tumblr has officially been deleted. No one ever really looked at much. Except for sophie. Thanks for that, sophie. (: And quick question:

Do you think posting that you're tired of drama would hurt someone so much that they'd possibly turn their back on you? I feel like an idiot. But then again, when do i not. (: PLZ comment back...

Watched TITANIC.

EPIC MOVIE. No joke. I almost cried, but I actually didn't. All I can say is, I want Jack Dawson. Not only for his looks, (he looks like a frickin teenager!) but I want a guy with his personality. When I'm older, of course. (: CUTE.

all you need is a friend looking out for you

My dad taught me a lesson a while ago, after one of my friend's friend committed suicide. He said, "Even if you think talking about it with them may hurt for them, it could just help them. To let it out, all their anger, sadness, confusion. It's always good to have a friend there for you." I think it's great, because you might just make their day. I never actually got around to calling her, but I couldn't imagine going through that. I would want a friend there too. But I know there always will be...hopefully. (:

as much as I love blogspot...

I love blogging and blogspot, but every time I see Anna's blog or Ari's or Jenna's or anyone elses, I think "hey thats pretty cool. I wish blogspot could do that.." But, I don't know if it's something that only works through yahoo.com or anywhere. I still like this blog though. (:
