Earthlings and Tom Petty

GREETINGS EARTHLINGS! 

I was going to write this whole thing in caps, but I decided not to scream at you for a brief amount of time. To answer your question, no I am not dead and have not been eaten by a pack of savage wolfs. I have just been neglecting my self appointed blogging duties. 

I'm finally moved into my apartment at school! And I must say it's a pretty sweet hook-up. 

Classes do not start until tomorrow, so my brain still feels like mush. I have three classes tomorrow and I'm pretty sure that by the afternoon I'll feel like I've been beat in the head. 

I planned to walk to campus sometime today to walk around and get my bearings, but so far that plan has epicly failed. I've taken a shower, ate lunch with my roommates, and talked to my boyfriend. Walking around in the heat, not knowing where I'm going, just has not yet proved to be an exciting plan. I think I've talked myself into waiting until evening, so it'll be cool.

Right now I'm sitting at a ill angle typing away and listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Have I told you about my latest obsession with Tom Petty? It's been so long, I can't remember.

I'm convinced that all there stuff is good. So go to youtube (or spotify if you have it) type in Top Petty and the Heartbreakers and listen to everything!! 

my inner hippie is swooning 

Stevie Nicks: I'm going to join The Heartbreakers 

Tom Petty: but there are no girls in the Heartbreakers 

Me, VHS, & a..... Hooker

"Oh, hello. I didn't see you there"

Could there be a more non-natural way to start off a tv segment? 

No.  There cannot be. 

It's been a few days since I graced you with my witty and otherwise not very remarkable internet presence. Over the course of my absence not too many life changing events happened, so don't worry.

To catch you up a little: 

-Last weekend I went to Charleston/ Folly Beach for the first time (I plan to go back). I have family down there... not to mention Charleston is busting at the seams with life, culture, art, history, beauty, and this free sample dessert that was to die for. I almost fell over in the shoppe, literally. (Mostly because of the heat....) 

- This weekend I will be having a Girls retreat at the beach with my bestest gal pals.. well most of them. 

- Yesterday I went thrift store shopping with my boyfriend and I got Grease and Shakespeare in Love for $2!! (VHS, but hey! awesome movies.. and I still have a WHS player) 

-Also this weekend with said boyfriend we built a fort in his living room and watched movies. Yes, I said fort. It was awesome!  On pintrest I found these "date night ideas". Most of them are stay at home (a.ka CHEAP ideas. Which is great when your broker than a one legged hooker).

-Today I am going to see "Magic Mike" with two gal pals. Thinking about it, I sorta feel guilty because its Sunday.. Then I dismissed that thought because I don't wanna talk myself out of it. 

Now I'm on a roll and could keep going, but food is ready and I'm hungry. 

Cheese Danish

First off, let me say that the strawberry cheese danishes in the vending machine at Sandhills Community College are delicious! 
You might be wondering why I'm at school, eating delicious danishes at 9 a.m on my "summer break". 
I had to take Rachel to school this morning... and her having an 8 a.m class and me agreeing to bring her shows the true meaning of friendship.
I've gotten so used to sleeping in that when the light turned on a 6ish this morning, it literally brought tears to my eyes. On the way up here my eyes were getting heavy and I was falling asleep. 
Dying in a head on collision is not on my to- do list today! 


Not really much on my to - do list today. 
I've been thinking with all this free time I have I should start volunteering or exercising.. you know, something productive. Maybe I'll start tomorrow ;) 

naughty panties for Christmas

Christmas Greetings Bloogers, Readers, and Facebookers alike!

Today I had Christmas Eve at my dad's house. The stocking were hung by the chimney with care and stuffed with really good gifts. Got some good gift cards, socks that call me naughty, candy, and a pocket mirror. Oh and germ X. Also I received a tee Shirt that says "put your big girl panties on, Get over it."
That tee shirt got dad a lot of cool points in the present contest this year, I have to admit. it's amazing. got a pair of panties on it and everything! However, the race is not over. Mom still gets to play tomorrow. and since I know (by pure accident!!) what I'm getting, I'm pretty sure she will take the cake.But we will not declare an official winner until tomorrow.

With all the gifts and fuss over The Big Day. I have really been giving some thought to Baby Jesus and those who won't be receiving tee shirts, and socks, or gift cards, or even a decent dinner. My heart goes out to them. As sad as I get, I have really been giving God some props. I'm so thankful for what I have. Sometimes my life seems like it really sucks, but when I think about it I have it so much better than a lot of people. So I encourage you, this Christmas to give some thought about what you have and to be grateful for it. Give the Big Guy some props, He more than deserves them!


Merry Christmas!
Don't Drink and Drive!
(I don't wanna attend a funeral over the holiday)

oh and P.S- My grandmaw is in the hospital.. I don't wanna go into detail, but while you are giving God props could you send up a prayer for her? THX :) 

fa la la la la la alalllalalalala

i hate holidays.
for as long as i can remember i have disliked them. well.. i kinda like Christmas because we all know Christmas is about presents, and i am a sucka for a present. "oh you didn't have to get me anything" is probably the biggest lie i tell! in my head i'm thinking, "yes, another present!!" 
Thanksgiving has always been an issue. family drama as usual. but now it's its even worse because my parents have split and we literally have to choose. naturally we are doing going to both, just like we did Christmas last year. last years' Turkey Day was easy.. we were on cruise with my mom. in theory i'd do that again. but no.. thats not an option this year.
i hate the end of the year. it starts getting really expensive and stressful. however, the good thing is that you can eat your feelings!! muhaha. which is not advisable, but realistic. 
you hate that you can't please both sides of the family adequately, but grandmaw's blueberry pizza pleases you stomach so much that eventually you stop caring. 
and Christmas is even better, because they subconsciously try to out do each other. exhibit A: last year my sister and i got ipods from pops, we went on a cruise ( that was more of a family gift though) wii games, gift cards, money.. we racked up on materialistic love! 




and i know what some of you are thinking; Emily, holidays are about the birth of Christ and Friends and Family and cheer and giving to others and blah blah blah.. yes that's all true, but let's face it for the most part that stuff gets put on the back burner. except the birth of Christ.. i think people who truly appreciate that still show it. 
any who.. 


the holidays are close to smothering us.. What's your least favorite part of the holidays? 

i hope its a puppy!! 

ghetto booty hot dog tattoos

so today at Ross, i bought these super tight ghetto booty jeans. i mean, every curve/roll is being rugged and squeezed. 

i'm not sure how well this will go over, but we're gonna try them out. i really bought them because when i wear my rain boots, i want to wear them like the little preppy girls. you know the whole tucked in deal. 

Tuesday is my last day working at the grill. i'd be lying to say i wasn't excited. not that i don't like the people there ( and by that i mean the people that i work with, the customers are a different story..) i'm just ready for something else. i hate slinging hot dogs and cleaning up explosive dookie off the walls. oh the horror. i have another job lined up, which is the main reason i'm leaving the grill. this couple at my church has a curtain shop and have offered me a job there, so i seized the opportunity! i start on Thursday at 10 o'clock :) 

good things come to those who wait.. and believe me, i've been waiting. 

speaking of good things, i'm getting a tattoo. 

hells yea, i'm super excited. 

its going to be the quote "love conquers all" ( yes i know that can be a cheesy quote, but for me its all about the Jesus love, and when you think about it that way.. it's perfect! ) in front of the quote there is going to be a bird cage with the door open and then little birds flying away. it doesn't sound as good as it will look, i promise it will be intense :) 

so speaking of tattoos, if you have a tattoo, why do you have one? if not, let's say you were to get one, what would it be? 

me and tim being unproductive in the bed

so i have this siatic nerve issue that starts at my lower back, runs through my butt and down my left leg. if you're thinking that sounds painful and awkward all at once then you were thinking right.  it is very awkward and painful. it flares up for a while then it will go away.. flares up.. goes away.. vicious circle of death. but enough about that...

let's talk about me. 

lets talk about how lazy i am. my room turned upside down ( as usual.. which wouldn't really bother me, but it causes so much freaking turmoil in at my house that its just an extra irritation), i have neglected studying for a straight week now, and yesterday when i got off work i planned to come home and work on those things. 

that didn't happen. me and Tim laid in bed all night watching dumb netflix movies. and i say dumb because we started like 3 and didn't watch any of them fully. we were sucky at picking out movies last night.

i just last motivation for anything. 

even now i wanna go straighten my hair but i have can't muster up any energy.

blahh..

i am going to eat smilie fries and.. probably watch tv or something else totally unproductive :)

noisy food in the library

the reading room

i really want to eat my crackers.. but i'm in the reading room at the library .. not only is it dead silent in here ( of course its just me) but its the library, and crackers are like the noisiest food in the world! i really should pick a more quite snack...
ok well this chick just literally came in popping gum.. i should start rustling my crackers out of spite.
but i'm not because Jesus wouldn't do that.. actually Jesus would probably be outside, sitting on the grass teaching and eating quite foods like bread. that sounds amazing, doesn't it? ( please note there is no sarcasm in that) in the very least the bread part sounds amazing right now. if you haven't picked up.. i'm hungry. i had the middles of pop tarts this morning and thats it.
did she just say the middles? 
yes, i did..they weren't cooked so i didn't eat the edges because that's just nasty. and since i was driving to school eating i just casually dropped them out the window. like a Hanzel and Gretel trail for me to find my home with. ( if you recall my first day of school, that might actually be helpful in the traffic circle! haha. i'm pretty sure i've mastered it now :)

i seriously need to be studying.. but of course i'm not.
i have my world religions quiz this morning, it was so easy. i made a hundred :)
i have had a lot mess on my mind lately which has led me to make a few dumb decisions. i've been beating myself up over it. but time ( and God) heals all wounds. that sounds drastic, doesn't it?
haha. sorry its nothing bad.. like i didn't go out and sleep with a man whore and then do a couple of lines with him on his passed out girlfriends compact.
anyways.. even if i did do that you wouldn't want to know about it, would you?
yes you would ;)
trust me.. if i ever sleep with a man whore and do crack you'll be the first to know.

in the real world people get naked and drink juice..

i'm missing out on the annual lake trip because i have a job now and in the real world people don't get to do fun stuff like go to the lake.

so i dropped my sister off to go and i went and got gas and naked juice!! if you haven't ever drank it.. you're missing out. its delicious!

i came back to the home front and made myself a breakfast sandwich ( which is exactly what i had last night for dinner.. leftovers.. you know)

and now i'm here with you...

well you aren't reading this yet..

updating the blog because its been a few days and sadly not that much has changed. i went to work.. oh i went to church last night. that was fun. as always. i helped pikc out costumes to take on the mission trip for bible dramas. always a joy to play in the prop room :)

have you ever woken up in the middle of the night thirsty??

that happened to me last night... i woke up feeling like i had been wondering the dessert for a thousand years with out an liquids in my system. i started to get up and get some ice water but i wasn't that motivated and i fell back asleep. but this morning i woke up and chugged water. strangest thing. i don't think that's ever happened to me.

also, another thing that happened to me.. one of my crazy dreams. me and a person.. were walking and all of a sudden he ( yes it was a he.) grabs my arm right above my elbow.. kinda like how you would hold somebody's hand.. but he was holding my arm. weird.. like why wouldn't he just grab my hand.. why my arm. it was awkward to say the least.

on the left side of my mouth i have wisdom teeth coming in.. oww.

BLT's and Tim

"this is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world.."
sometimes i crack myself up. when i open my blog i see the title and i start singing that song. its like an automatic reaction for my brain. 


oh really sir, you'd like lettuce and tomato on your BLT. how creative. 
thats how work has been for me the past few days. 
i actually had to work on saturday and it was overall good. the day went by fast and it was productive. 
plus last week i worked like 7 days straight and worked full shifts. my paycheck was pretty nice.. not to brag :) 


i am hanging out at some friends' house and i just got done shoving my face with some sort of mexican food ordeal. it was delicious. i am full. 


is any of this noteworthy?
like why would you want to read about me eating and being full?
i'm awesome. thats why. 
and someday when i'm famous and excerts from these blogs are in books and magazines you have bragging rights saying that you knew that first! 
i give you permission now. 


still no wireless internet at the home front. however, a friend of mine informed me that i could just take the ethernet cord and plug into Tim and BAM! Connected! 
i don't know why i didn't think of that earlier. 
i'll try that later and get back with you on the results :) 

cereal killer!!

when i sleep.. i hold my hands at a very awkward angle.. meaning that i bend my wrist in. and i keep waking up with pains in my wrist. call me crazy but i think the two may be closely related. 

i should probably stop sleeping like that. 

oo. i want some cereal. 

i believe we have fruit loops. that'll do!

delicious. 

any ways.. (ever noticed how much i say that phrase?) 

i think its safe to say that this is going nowhere.....

except me showering doing my hair and then going to work! 

but alas its Friday!! i have a date tonight ( i know you're thinking "omg! finally") sorry to bust your bubble but its just with friends. we are going to eat and i am going to hunt a trunk. 

what?

a trunk?
i want a trunk for all my keepsakes.

little ditty about emily and muffins! oh and the bathroom!

this morning has been a great morning. its mornings like this that convince me i won't turn into a basket case living alone. 

i woke up to the apartment empty ( except a note asking me to vacuum!).

after my morning piss ( we all have one!) i retreated to the living room. 

i turned my music on and did some dibiling on the computer and then i danced around my apartment like a.. well like a basket case. but it was fun! 

sometimes it worries me that i enjoy my time alone so much. when i think about it, most of my favorite activities only involve numero uno?

such as when i was coming home the other night i was jamming out to my ipod on shuffle and i went from listening to Breaking Benjamin to nsync. please don't ask me why nsync is on my ipod! they just are. any why  i was singing along and  i started doing all these different voices and answering the questions in the song with these ghetto answers. i was cracking myself up! i wish i would've recorded it. is that normal? probably not. 

but then again i never confessed to being normal. ( if i did i was tripping hard on something!) 

this is a sorta side note.. breakfast is basically my favorite food time. so this morning i seriously wanted muffins, so i made muffins. and not to brag but they are delicious!! 

i have to go take a shower. i desperately have to wash my hair. it crazy nasty. then i get to go to work! 

yesterday was pretty good ( did i already say that, or was i just thinking i said that)

my computer is excepted to be here by the end of the week! woot woot!

"There's no place like home except grandma's"

I'm sitting at the table while my precious grandmaw is slaving over a hot stove making me grits for breakfast :)
I umm.. had some other stuff to say.. or at least I wanted to..
Now its escaped me.
I'm having a delightful time spending time with her. I'm dreading 5 o clock ticking on the clock.

chinese food, scandalous views, navy blue

i only need like 300 more dollars and i'm there! (to my computer, that is)

this whole working for money stuff really isn't as bad as i thought it would be :) 

you work.

you get money.

then you get to buy stuff! 

of course that's after they take out taxes and you pay bills and give your 10% tithe, which i now proudly start doing:)

so if you live in America you probably realized that yesterday was July 4th and around these parts that's kind a big deal. yesterday i had to work and i'm not complaining  about going.. i'm complaining about not doing anything. it was soooo slow. i had maybe three orders to come in. i did some other stuff but i was basically just standing around trying not to fall asleep. i guess my boss could tell because she let me go like two hours early ( Thank God). 

we, being my family and i, had plans to go to this supposed to be big block party type thing and eat and do fireworks. joy. we got there it was a bust. i was frightened to be there. so we left and got Chinese food.

Chinese Food!

me and my little sister.. eating Chinese food!

after we left the Chinese place.. ( how many times can i say Chinese in one post? humm.) it looked like it was going to storm we decided to just go back home because none us liked the idea of watching works of fire in the thunder, lighting, and rain. 

at home i was chilling on the couch upside down.. don't ask why.. i just kinda happened to land that way. it was awesome.

upside view!

yes. yes, i am aware that that picture is scandalous of me. enjoy it :) 

any who the rain let up and we trucked back down to the fireworks. saw the display and came home. it was magical. ( please hint sarcasm) you know what they say about boobs, if you've seen one, you've seen em' all. ( well i assure you that is not true) 

however, i think the saying goes for fireworks.. the displays may be different but its all basically the same. i personally like really loud fireworks. the  BOOM is exciting. and i like it when the sky is pitch black. the colors exploding onto a dark canvas as much more moving to me than after the sun barely has time to go away and its like navy blue. 

oh and on a final note : that song "if i die young" by the band perry.. is great :)

i secretly have a love of money...

what up dudes?! 

so i am like totally in a great mood!

(imagine everything i just said in a super annoying preppy noise.. laugh!) 

today has went by sorta fast, but its been a great day!

you know how i'm on the prowl for a job (a.k.a money), so this morning me and a friend got up super early ( like 8 ish) and went to apply at cracker barrel. which is opening up in like 3 weeks. 

(caution: bunny trail. family friends of our own a BP gas station/grill and on our way to said CB we stopped for drinks and gas.. we got to talking and she needs help working the grill. well i quickly jumped at the opportunity and on the way home we stopped back again did some more talking and she asked me to come in today and give it whirl. so i go in for this whirl and i have to say it went pretty good. all the stuff was pretty easy.. i mean dang their kid has been doing it since she was 7. i swept floors, cooked food, cleaned stuff, filled ice bags ( that was hard) took orders ( my favorite part) and made lots of pizza ( i am now craving pizza) . 

i was totally stoked when i left.. no not just because i got paid.. but because if this thing with CB doesn't work out i'm almost positive i have a spot at the grill. i felt accomplished. like i was out actually doing something, working toward a goal and not just sitting at home watching tv and getting even fatter ( which is where i'm headed if i have no job) 

the only down side is i have to wear a freaking hat.. and not a cutsie beanie hat.. a ball cap. not a good look for me.

and to top all that off i got two more graduation cards.. i'm half a little over half way towards my apple computer!! i'm soo freaking excited. once i get that computer i will be the bees knees. my head will swell and somebody will have to calm me down. i just sense this. 

ahhh! the freaking smoke detector in my apartment is beeping like a freaking spring chicken.. only louder and more annoying! ( just wanted you to be aware...) 

"stacks on deck like he saving up" : P 

Beach noodles

My bones feel like noodles. Which is a relaxing feeling, a weightless feeling if you will.
Have I ever told you how much I love being at the beach, doing nothing but laying in the sun, shopping, eating, having all the time in the world. If I haven't.. I apologize. It's my favorite thing in the world to do. One week isn't enough. Graduating was great, such a liberating feeling. But now when I think about my life starting its exciting bit scary.. I want to pause time and stay on the beach forever. Most people can't take the sand.. its called a chair moron. Life here in cherry grove, in this house of 6 friends, is great. We have been doing all kinds of stuff. All of which I will go into later..
We are fixing to go stuff out faces at a seafood buffet ;)
( the photo is of our amazing little house)

Breakfast and Reality TV

I've been sleeping with my fan on so that I don't die from a heat stroke.. because I have to sleep with covers on, thus conditions for a heat stroke. This morning I woke with a chill and decided I wanted some warm breakfast. I'm not sure if I like that sentence.. any who I ate some oatmeal and it was awesome! It was maple syrup and brown sugar oatmeal. When I was little I used to not like that particular kind of oatmeal, I love the fruit kinds. Peach used to be my favorite.. which is still pretty great.

It's taking me forever to write my nonsense this morning because Khloe and Lamar is on and I have been sucked into the craziness of it all! I desperately wish my life was a reality show.. don't ask me why.. I think it goes along with that thing I said before about me thinking that if I don't document everything in my life I will someday face some sort of doom and regret. ( are you catching on that I stress and worry over the stupidest things?!)

Speaking of stress and worry.. I am going to graduate!! I passed my math exam with a freaking 81! I almost hugged my teacher (there was slight curve) but I refrained.. Cause that could have been.. really weird.

I'll be so glad to graduate. I am so jealous of all my friends who are leaving and embarking on greater things, but I'm very proud of them :) It will be really weird not seeing everybody everyday.. and you know there are some people that I won't ever see again. ( for some people that's a good thing!) But I'm still hanging around for a year so there won't be a clean break for a while.

30 Day Challenge : day 11

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

this is soo easy! I hate bananas.
