Captain Emma

I will dazzle them with my wit...

About Me

Intro... Hello you! *waves* The most important thing you will EVER need to know is that - I am lovely. End of! I still want to train Ninja Polar Bears whilst filming a 6-part documentary on it, for it to be shown on BBC1 on a Thursday night at 8:00pm.
At the time of going to press...18/02/07 Been a while since I've updated this. My lip still hurts a little but I love it. The Get Happy Tour owned! Bowling For Soup kicked serious ass and being 3 people from the front - ROCK ON! I just managed to scrape thru on a couple of my project and I'm NO where near finsihed with my documentary. I'll do it don't worry. As you can see I wore a dress last night. I looked lovely. Breasty and lovely. Well at the going rate I'll be next wearing a dress in 2013! I've had the car for the last two weeks and I have to give it up tomorrow morning. I'm so sad. I love my time with the Corsa.
College and Work... I'm at Northbrook College studying a HND in The Moving Image. I'm in the second year at the moment graduating this summer. After a good first year, I appear to be failing with bows and ribbons this year. I HATE script writing. It's not my thing. I love doing 1st AD work and production managing/assisting. I feel it's my strongest area. I also like editing stuff. I'm mostly interested in Documentarys, music videos and adverts. When not doing that I also work in Threshers (Wine Rack to be exact) which I love.. aside from the travelling to and from and the ever crap manager if you can call him a manager that is! I don't like to be big headed but I think I am now a Senior Sales Assistant I do loads of stuff there but it really is good and I work with a great bunch of people (Sue, Ben, Kerry and Sylv!).
Other Interests and stuff... I love music, hearing new bands, seeing gigs when I can, and just taking in as much as I can. I'm usually found out and about with headphones in my ears, tapping away or badly singing! Also like TV and Film and can get away with saying I'm watching it to get inspiration or for ideas or the such like. My extensive list of fave show, films or bands are down the left there! Believe it or not even with all this I love sports - Football and Rugby being my main ones (Come on Spurs and Bath Rugby). Love getting to The Rec to watch Bath when I can. Other sports which are ace: rowing, athletics, squash, bowls and Formula 1. Since I went to Taiwan and Hong Kong a few summers ago I now have the bug for travelling not that money really allows, but gonna look to go away early 2008 maybe taking in Australia, Thailand, Sweeden (don't ask!). Other places I wanna go - Japan, Mexico, Africa, West Coast USA, South America. I also spends far too much time on the internet. It's not healthy! I do also find time to sleep, eat, use the toilet, shower and go out and get drunk!
Scouting... I'm a Cub Scout Leader. I love it. Scouting is one of the best things I've ever done in my life. It's given me so much and I've only been in it 4 and a half years. I haven't done so much since I've moved away but I still go to as many camps back home as I can. 5th Frome is my second family. They keep me going when I wanted to quit. The times with them are great and seeing the kids being so excited it's a great buzz. I've got the bug and I'm in it for the long haul. I get my 5 years this year. Its because of Scouting I went to Taiwan and HK, met so many people I never would have done otherwise. I met Peter Duncan when he got invested. He signed my wooden spoon. I'm also a member of Networks - also so kick ass. Thou I only ever seen to get drunk with them. I miss out on all the other "important" stuff with them!
Video of the Week... Andy Dick - Comedy Spoofing Genius!
Random things I enjoy... Brocolli. Playing Fridge Connect 4 against Trish. Wheatos. Captain Black (Of Captain Scarlet fame). Asking my Magic 8 Ball questions. Lego. Messing around with Word Censors. Yellow highlighters. Ropey. Making bets with Kim. Giving things or people nicknames. Telling people just HOW much I love Girls Aloud.
