Emily

Sooo...what exactly would you like to know? I guess I'll just pick three random things. If you want to know anything else you'll just have to ask!
#1- My world pretty much revolves around my family. They all live in the area and I see them at least once a week. Nothing is truer than the fact that they are the reason my life is amazing. I love the fact that I can look at them and know exactly where I got my sense of humor, my cheekbones, and my tendency to drive the speed limit and use my turn signals. Everything I am I owe to my family.
#2- I love animals and I have a HUGE tribe of them to look after. My best friend calls me "feed the wildlife girl" because that is exactly what I do. I feed ducks, pigeons, stray cats, squirrels, and any other creature that looks like food might make it's life a little nicer. I have fed pop-tarts to a raccoon, french fries to seagulls, and dry cat food to a slug (hey, it looked hungry!). Nothing makes me happier than watching animals eat. They have so few basic needs; they don't need a new car and fancy clothes to be happy. Food pretty much makes their day and I love that. Besides, it's my opinion that the cutest thing you'll ever see is a raccoon eating a pop-tart!
#3- I can be a stubborn, self-centered pain in the ass. I hide when I get too stressed out, I'm likely to say that nothing is wrong when I'm really mad as hell, and I have a tendency to react without thinking. However, I can also see beauty in the things that are often overlooked and recognize it in people who don't even see it in themselves. I can be in the worst mood, yet still be moved to tears by a line of poetry that just says it all. I'm an interesting mix of opposing qualities and I love it that way. And I don't think the people who love me would change me if they could.
My Favorite Survey Ever!
1. What would you take from your house if you knew it would be flooded tomorrow?:
My cats (yes, all of them!), the hermit crabs, my photos, and anything with sentimental value.
2. Customize your own flag, with things on it that represent you:
There would have to be cats. And maybe a coffee cup.
3. If you could erase anything you ever said to anyone, what would it be?
I usually think pretty carefully about the things that I say, but I'm sure I've said some things in anger that weren't very nice.
4. You are stuck in a room for an hour with a chalk board, what do you draw on it?
I probably wouldn't draw anything, I'd be much more likely to write something.
5. What is your theme song?
I don't have a theme song, but I'll start writing the lyrics as soon as I finish this survey and get back to you.
6. If your life was a movie, what category would it be in?
I would like the story of my life told through interpretive dance. I'm not sure what category that would fall into.
7. Something you wish to accomplish before the end of the year?:
I will learn to rollerblade, and hopefully will not break my neck doing so.
8. How much does it take to make you laugh?
That depends. If something isn't funny, I won't laugh. If it is funny, I will laugh.
9. How many sheep do you want on your farm?
I want lots of sheep, like 30 or 35. And llamas. And cats, dogs, a zebra, three giraffes, a kangaroo, and an octopus. Hey, I can have an octopus if I want. It's my farm.
10. Which Wizard of Oz character would you like to be?
Well, technically I am Auntie Em (since my name is Emily and I am an aunt), but if I could choose, I would want to be one of the fruit-throwing apple trees.
11. You learn through mistakes, what mistake are you glad you made?
I learned at a very young age that flourescent clothing isn't attractive on anyone. Luckily I learned this before I became interested in dating!
12. Would you ever run naked in the rain with your love?
Why on earth would I do that? And anyone who truly loved me would never ask me to!
13. Do you think giant anacondas really have a purpose on this earth?
I'm sure they do...don't ask me what their purpose might be, but I'm quite sure they have one.
14. Which is worse...15 pounds underweight or overweight?
As long as you are healthy and happy with your weight, who cares?
15. Do you like eating ice cream out of the carton?
I am guilty of this, but only because I don't usually have to share it with anyone.
16. Do you find it gross to share drinks with family or friends?
No, I'm okay with that.
17. Does the world revolve around you?
Yes, my world does revolve around me, just as your world revolves around you.
18. Is everyone equally important to the world?
I think that everyone is important, but that some people's contributions are more valuable than others.
19. Do some people truly not deserve to live?
Oh, am I in charge of judging this now? Interesting. Hmmm...I do think there are a few people that the world could do without.
20. If the world comes to an end...how do you think it will go?
Aliens, man...definitely aliens.
21. Will artificial intelligence help better or destroy the world?
Both, all in good time. Eventually we will forget how to utilize natural intelligence and then we will destroy ourselves.
22. How long does it take you to get out of bed in the morning?
That depends on whether or not the floor is in the same place it was when I went to bed. If it has moved, then getting out of bed will take a little longer.
23. How important is it for us to find other planets, resources and life?
At the rate we are destroying things on Earth, it's probably pretty important that we find new things and places to mess up.
24. Do you think emptying our trash, pollution, and waste on the moon is okay?
No, I don't.
25. What do you think about California?
Nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there.
26. Is it important to you to always live close to family?
I will never live more than thirty miles from my family. Ever.
27. Why are slasher films entertaining?
In my opinion they aren't entertaining at all.
28. Do you think it would be a good idea if we rebirthed dinosaurs?
Maybe. Could we train them to eat extreme right-wing republicans? If so, they are more than welcome to live on my farm.
29. What do you think about Tennessee?
It has more "E"s in it than any other state. How cool is that?
30. What kind of animal do you think the world could live without?
I'd be okay without snakes.
31. If someone invented glasses that can see through things, would you buy them?
Probably not.
32. If you were a spider where would you crawl away and live?
I don't know, but I'd stay the hell away from my house. Too many spider-eating cats there!
33. What do you think about pop ups? Is there a way to get rid of them?
Pop-ups are wonderful and not annoying at all. I love them.
34. Would you prefer to be emotionless, so you didn't have to feel a heartbreak?
Of course not!
35. When you die, and if you become an angel, who will you watch over?
I'm not so much into the idea of being an angel. I would still really like to be a fruit-throwing apple tree. Could that be arranged? Please?
36. If when you die, you become a ghost, would you try to contact your loved ones?
Okay, if I can't be an apple tree then I will settle for being a ghost. I would definitely contact my friends and family. I wouldn't try to scare them though; I'd do nice things like cleaning windows and offering fashion advice. This means I would be a magic ghost, because I have no fashion sense and I suck at cleaning windows.
37. Would you want to haunt anyone? Who?
There are some childhood bullies who should be expecting a post-mortem visit...
38. What does everyone live for? (could it be love)?
I personally live for oxygen, but love is good too.
39. Is there a way to solve world hunger, that we are ignoring?
Don't even get me started on this one. Seriously, just trust me on this.
40. What do you think should be added to planes?
How about really big parachutes?
41. Do you have a weak stomach for watching animals consume each other?
I'm not big on watching any creature suffer. Even the dinosaurs on my farm would have to eat their republicans far away from me.
42. Do you think its important to conserve the rainforest?
I think it is incredibly important to conserve the rainforests. Will we? Probably not.
43. Why do people move to Tornado country, when their homes will be destroyed?
I don't know, I guess that is one of life's unanswerable questions. In my opinion, a better question would be, "Why would anyone buy a mobile home in tornado country?"
44. Do you have any quotes that you admire?
Anything said by Stephen Wright. The man is a genius.
45. If you could go back in time to the dinosaur era, would you take a visit?
What would be the point? All of the dinosaurs would be on my farm, happily munching on republicans and learning how to play croquet.
46. If leprechauns existed what would the world be like?
Parking meters and ATMs would be much closer to the ground.
