Hey. i'm emjae, which is long for M.j., which is short for Melissa jean. so now it makes sense..
i'm an observer. i am always very aware of my surroundings. i like to watch what's going on and listen to people and think about things. i live inside my own head too much sometimes, but i can come out of my shell and be crazy enough for you, trust me. just accept that at times, i just wanna be a fly on the wall.
i love to LOVE. i haven't figured out if having a heart that loves to love is a blessing or a curse, but i feel like i'm called to love. so i do.
LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL, BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Are you still reading this?? wonder why… but i can’t sleep so i’ll just write some more… my favorite color is black, but sometimes it’s blue. i'm cursed with a mechanical brain, so if you mis-spell something, i'll notice, but i won't care. If i mis-spell something, you can laugh at me that much harder. i believe in God. i try my best to follow God. i like thrift-store shopping. i’m tall but i don’t play basketball, or any sports really. i find something that relates to the Simpsons every day. i pierced my tongue before my ears. i have more friends in more places than i even know how i've acquired, and i love them all. i think my yearly new year’s resolution is to be able to touch my toes, but I still can’t. i'm a vegetarian and a lemonade connoisseur.
i usually don't capitalize "i". i don’t look that good in sunglasses. it's common for me to be freezing cold. my favorite number is 237. i like bored games when i'm board (?? did you catch that?? :P ) and playing cards as long as it involves making card houses at the end of the game. i put mushrooms and olives on my pizza and everything on my ice cream sundaes. i like making fun things out of candy. my first childhood career dreams were to be an archeologist or the voice of a cartoon- i have achieved neither, but i still like digging in the dirt and talking in funny voices. i love dreaming while i’m awake. and to B.G.W.- you have been my muse now for 10 years. congrats.
Some things you will usually find me with:
.my camera. i take a ridiculous amount of pictures. i am just in love with being able to freeze time and capture a moment that i can go back to when the current moment isn't as nice.
.a notebook. for the words and pictures i get in my head. i write a LOT. stories and poems. letters to people (whether i intend to send or not). i keep a journal going for every day. i write songs, and keep the tunes in my head until i get it together enough to record them. i'm in the process of writing a book- scrapbook-style sort of, going thru my life in the the form of journals, songs, free-writes, drawings..whatever.
.music. mixtapes mostly, since i haven't upgraded to ipod yet. i grew up on records and 8-tracks, and probably didn't make it to CDs until i was 15. so gimme a break, i'll get there. but music alters my mind like a drug. there isn't a stronger feeling for me than when a song twists me from the inside out. i appreciate this form of art, and anyone who hands their life over to their passion for it.
ok, i'm done rambling for now. check out my blogs, i keep them well up-to-date with both fun and serious stuff that my life hands me.
Now you know me, so don't be a stranger.
