Hello, I guess, if anyone ever reads this. I suppose I should tell you my name, which is Emily, and a little bit about myself, which I'll try to extend out because I have a track record of a) writing one paragraph and just giving up, and b) bragging about myself because I was such a massive snob as a child. Seriously, I've had to delete EVERYTHING off this blogging site I wrote like ten years ago because my younger self just makes me cringe. I'll be a legal adult later this year, and I'm currently in my last year of high school.
Why did I start this blog? Well, to be truthful, I'm procrastinating. I have a midterm exam tomorrow for a subject that I'm basically done studying for (religion). I had all these server issues on the internet because I was curious about what I wrote in the past regarding knitting patterns and the like, so I downloaded a new server and I got my answer - diddly squat. A string of enthusiastic posts across several blogs about "how great this will be" and "you'll learn so much from me". No, nothing useful, so I deleted them all. One look at my woefully empty blogspace page and I decided that now I'm older, I might be better at communicating.
What will I do on this space? No clue. Depends on what I'm feeling on the day I decide to update. I'm pretty bad about updating things though, so this might serve to retrain my brain from the lazy-ass habit of giving up when I can't be bothered. Chances are the posts will be nerdy. Books, television, movies, knitting, crochet, cats. Let's face it, I'm so uncool in real life you'd never remember me if you saw me on the street. Anyway - maybe you'll have posts on makeup, hair, clothing, shopping and the like. Again, it depends, doesn't it?
A little bit about myself? I'm a teenage girl. My interests span across a range of different nerdy topics, hence the title. Videogames and the like will sometimes catch my eye fleetingly, but I will emphasise here and now that I am not really a videogamer. I leave that to my friends, who are massive dorks and always call me a noob :) I'm trying to achieve the goal of an ATAR (sorta like SATs I guess) high enough to get me into medicine. The biggest thing to know about me is probably the level of seriousness in which I take my schoolwork.
My biggest problem is books. I have a helluva lot, and a tiny room to put them in. Its getting to the point where I'm thinking of putting shelving above my doorway to make room for them all. So maybe I'm a hoarder, but I'm capable of parting with shit unless its my books or something of extreme sentimental value. But yeah, I'm a compulsive book buyer. My idea of surfing the net is going onto online bookstores and adding books to my wishlist. Pretty sad, huh? Oh well, I am a pretty sad person, so no surprise. I'm also really inappropriate. I make dirty jokes about everything, which
amuses me because I have a lot of gung-ho Catholic friends who cringe at
the sexual undertones of a conversation with me.
I have a brother, by the name of Jake Matthew. He is almost thirteen, and he's finally hit puberty. Unfortunately, he's going through that pre-teenage phase where he does absolutely everything he can just to piss me off. Oh well, only another ten years of tolerating it and he'll settle down (please tell me I'm right??). Jokes, I love him to pieces. I have a mother and a father, and our stereotypical upper-middle class family unit lives in a cozy suburban household with one psycho rabbit and two cats. Expect a lot of posts on the cats; none on the rabbit, because when she bites it fucking hurts.
My current projects? Getting through the next two weeks. Exams, baby, woo! Finishing (starting) George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Convincing my strict dad that because I've read the books, I can definitely see (all of) the TV show. Finishing my current wool project, a crochet bleuette doll (that I've realised the stitching is technically inside out for, but hey - creative license!!).
Until the next time, people. Thanks for reading!
