Silly Survey

Your name:
Emily


Sometimes people call you:
Emms, Emmzo, Em, E, Emily Marie! (which is not my middle name, FYI), Sham-Sham, Donkeypuncher


You have been making the world more amazing since:
1985.


You made your debut in:
Boulder, Colorado


You are the oldest/youngest/or middle sibling:
Middle-ish. Two older-- one by seven years, the other by seventeen years-- and one two-and-a-half years younger.


Your favorite type of music:
I don't know anymore. How about rock/pop/punk/reggae/blues/electronic/indie/r&b/classical/vocal/hip-hop?


You sleep with this many pillows:
Seven. No joke. Two body pillows, a feather pillow, a standard pillow, a latex foam pillow, and two throw pillows that I made to match the curtains I sewed.


What you have the most of in your bedroom:
Probably clothes. I have lots of clothes, and they are quite noticeable right now, as most of them are in a giant heap on my second bed. Now, if the question was asking what takes up the most area in my room, I would say beds.


You have this many piercings:
I'm never sure if having your ears pierced counts as one piercing, or two. So, I have two if we go with the first option, or three if we go with the latter.


You have this many tattoos:
Zero.


This is your blog, how many people do you think read it:
Not many, but according to my stat counter, 28 in the last seven days. Impressive, since I haven't posted anything new in almost a month. Also, my stat counter says that someone in Louisiana comes here a lot. I don't know anyone in Louisiana. Who are you?


Something about your neighbor across the street:
I don't have a neighbor across the street. Instead I have a parking lot outside my bedroom window, and a river beyond the parking lot, and a busy street beyond the river. I do have upstairs neighbors who are quite noisy late at night. Good thing I don't usually sleep at night, so I don't get mad... I just steal their wireless instead.


Name an item you've kept since you were young:
I still have my blankie that my mom quilted for me before I was born. It stays on my bed at her house, though, so I don't know if that counts. On the shelf above my bed is the conch shell my grandma gave me when I was three.


You get your money from:
Well, I used to have a job, and I got my money that way, but then I went to Colorado for a while and got paid some money to be there. Now I think I am going back to Colorado to get some more money.


Your natural hair color is:
I'm not sure. I like it the way it is now, but I'll have to go back to my AMAZING hairstylist in Littleton to get it done again next month. That lady is a genius!


Name the bands you have band tees for:
Third Eye Blind (3), Jimmy Eat World (3), The Format (3), John Mayer, All-American Rejects, Shiny Toy Guns, U2, O.A.R., *NSYNC


Your nails are painted:
Fingernails? Never. Toes? Always.


How many pairs of sweatpants do you own?
Way too many to count. If I could get away with living in lounge wear, I would.


Have you ever had sex in a public place?
Oh, the joys of young lust.


You're on a beach... what do you draw in the sand?
My name in cursive.


Exes... friends or foes?
I'm not a huge fan of the dude, but who cares.


Would you rather sleep with someone else or alone?
I enjoy sleeping alone and I feel sorry for the next person to fall asleep with me... I've been told that I have sharp elbows. Also, I will kick you.


What was the weather like on your birthday?
On the actual day of my birth? I hear it was snowy that day. This year? Sunny.


What time is it, and why are you not doing something more productive with your time?
5:41 am, and I can't sleep.

Procrastinating... Again

ALL HAIL THE HEARTBREAKER
The Spill Canvas


i had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
And the bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
i had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
to a whole new world that had since been in disguise

but that day will most likely never come for me
and it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are

so tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
and overanalyze your words
the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
it's taken everything in me
just to forget your sweater so far

i had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
but your undecisive mind shows me that
you are "just another girl"
i had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
what if i ripped your heart apart at the seams
maybe then you'd know how I feel

but that day will most likely never come for me
and it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are

so tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
and overanalyze your words
the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
it's taken everything in me
just to forget your sweater so far

i can honestly say
that i never, ever, ever felt this way
your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
these are the parts of your body
that cause my comatose to begin

i can honestly say
that i never, ever, ever felt this way
your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
these are the parts of your body
that cause my comatose to begin

i will sleep another day
i don't really need to anyway
what's the point when my dreams are infected
with words you used to say
i will breathe in a moment
as long as i keep my distance
i wouldn't want to go messing anything up

so don't go worrying about me
it's not like i think about you constantly
so maybe i do, but that shouldn't affect
your life anymore
i knew it the moment you walked into the door

so don't go worrying about me
it's not like i think about you constantly
so maybe i do, but that shouldn't affect
your life anymore
i knew it the moment you walked into the door

i'll let you get the best of me
because there's nothing else that i do well
i'll let you get the best of me
because there's nothing else that i do well

i'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
i guess that's how this one's gonna go
i'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
you've got me down on my knees and i proclaim
all hail the heartbreaker

A Song About Me...

Emily do you think it’s safe to guess
that you’ll be different from the rest?
Emily I don’t know if you’re truly make believe
but my mind is open to you anyhow.
Oh someday I will say the following words to you:
Emily you’re very different from the rest ,
you have me really quite impressed.
Emily I don’t know if you’re truly someone’s dream,
but my mind is open to you now.

Now Emily brings a tray of parfait,
to the troops of sinuous felines
lounging in her chaise lounge.
Now Emily with an ardent oratory
inspires the troops of sinuous felines
to do the bidding of

Emily you know I’d love to know you best,
but are your confessions just in jest?
Emily I hope that you are truly what you seem
cause my heart is open to you.
