Emma

The abyss cannot hear the song of the stars

About Me

Well...my name is Emma. I am multicultured or perhaps cultureless...my homes are Ecuador, California, Shalom Mountain in New York, and Alexandria, Virginia, which is where I live. I like to write a lot and I love to sing at the top of my lungs and dance like a crazy person...but I usually won't unless I'm by myself or very comfortable with you. I love people and spending time with them and my friends are the best part of my life. I have a lot of hopes and dreams, but try to keep a grasp on reality. Life is all about the little victories."I hearkened to the silence of the night, I heard the heavenly world talking to the earthly world, saying, 'Ambition beyond existence is the essential purpose of our being.' At that moment my spirit revolted and my heart longed for a position higher than my limited existence. I realized that the abyss cannot hear the song of the stars, and at that moment I commenced fighting against my smallness and craving for that which did not belong to me, until my rebelliousness turned into a great power, and my longing into a creating will...Nature, who is the great object of our deeper dreams, granted my request and changed me." -Kahlil Gibran.Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!

My Interests

Anything creative: I love to paint, draw, dance, write, sing, play guitar, etc. I'm not really any good at any of those things, but I love doing them, so I don't care. Acting is also a passion of mine. I love kids and want to have a big family someday. I'm trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up...lately I'm digging the psych thing, or possibly social work.

I'd like to meet:

Oprah- such a sphere of influence, and so many experiences to talk about. I'd also love to meet Anna Nalick to talk about her songs...she's amazing. Jennifer Garner. 'nuf said.

Music:


So much good stuff! I listen pretty much anything that comes my way-I'm a big music fan. I'm always finding new groups and songs that I like. Some of my current favorites are The Thrills, The Ditty Bops, Imogen Heap, Snow Patrol, Sandi Thom, Anna Nalick, John Mayer, Miranda Lambert, GirlyMan, anything Opera, and all three Grey's Anatomy soundtracks. I'll listen to and enjoy anything as long as my mood is right.

Movies:

Garden State! so good. The Little Mermaid- an all time favorite. Pride and Predjudice; Persuasion. The American President. The Importance of Being Ernest. We Were Soldiers. The Princess Bride. Phantom of the Opera. Hero. Serenity. Waiting for Guffman. Doctor Zhivago. Conspiracy Theory. My taste in movies is probably about as varied as my taste in music... but I tend to be picky about what movies match my mood.

Television:

Buffy. Angel. Grey's Anatomy. ALias. Lost. Felicity. The L-Word (so steamy). Firefly. Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams are my Gods and I bow down before them. If the two of them ever collaborate on a show, I might die of happiness.

Books:

I LOVE BOOKS!! There are way too many great ones, so here are some of the latest I've read. Shadow of the Wind. The Healer's Keep. Kushiel's Dart/Chosen/Avatar. A Home at the End of the World. The Time Traveler's Wife. The Lovely Bones. The last witchfinder. The truth about forever. The priest's madonna. Some old favorites I read again and again: The chronicles of narnia, Beauty by Robin McKinley, Ender/Bean books by Orson Scott Card, Possession (A.S. Byatt), The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Patricia C. Wrede), and the Harry Potter books.

Heroes:

I watched one episode one time, and was pretty much confused. But I hear it's a great show.
