I'll capture the moment with the sound of a snap. Crack baby.

About Me

It's ok, I'm an Arts student!
Quick to tears, quick to laughter... the passionate one.
Hi, just so you know, I'm Emma. I've been here awhile, and let me tell you; you don't have to be crazy to be here, but it sure helps :)
I'm 19... uni student, Arts. It's fun, a lot of work, but you can get by on minimal. Plus the uni kids make it worth it all.
Met my boyfriend Liam at uni so that place has my thanks for a long time to come!
He's pretty fantastic, even though it takes me about 50 minutes to drive to his place when I want to see him, and vice versa. Lucky we don't mind driving at midnight when we can't wait till morning to see each other.
I’m a story teller, with a cynical view of life.
I love to wander to and fro, but I do it my way. I frequently find myself alone, because I like it better that way sometimes.
I went to Europe with my Dad. We drove around the UK & Ireland, I stood in buildings that were over a thousand years old, I drank home-brewed beer in small pubs and listened to stories from the locals. We stayed in an apartment in Paris, around the corner was a fromagerie and patiserie and wine cellar, I climbed the stairs to the top of the Arc du Triumph, I was grabbed at the bottom of the Basilique de Sacre Couer by a gang of pick pockets. I grew, I learnt and I changed.
I have an appreciation of good food and wine, France showed me things you can't find here in Australia.
You will frequently find me with a cup of tea in my hands... two sugars, just a dash of milk, leave the tea bag in, thanks.
I also have a strange and nerdish addcition to the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Jane Austen books (incidently, I went to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, England), Romance Novels (hell yes the sex books! Historical Romances in particular, no mills & boons for me), and anything by Eddings.
I cry in every movie/tv show/book. If someone cries in front of me, I cry. Don't look, pretend you don't see it, and move on.
I love my family, I hang out with them. I even put up with my Dad as a travel companion for a month.
My soul mate is my baby girl, Sally. This would be the appropriate time to mention Sally is in fact my 7-year-old Labrador who sleeps in my bed, under the covers, every night.
I have recently left my waitressing job, so I'm just working every Monday at Beacy Primary in the office, and the occassional festival for the catering company i'm veeeeeery casually employed to :)
I do so love you all xoxox

My Interests

Reading, Writing, history, philosophy, movies, music, travelling, friends & family, animals, chilling out.

I'd like to meet:

Ooo... a lot of people! The Dalai Lama, Peter Singer, Henry VIII, Shakespeare, William Blake, David & Leigh Eddings... the list goes on!

It disappears again… over some distant horizon… not the sun, setting on the world to leave darkness to embrace its cold lands... no, not the sun.
Perhaps some bird, rejoicing in its freedom, surfing the silken winds with no care to weigh it down… no, not a bird.
Was it real, that moment? That moment where I was not me and you were not you… no, it could not possibly have been…
The lines between the real and the make believe grow fainter, still, I seem to have greater a grasp on reality then ever before.
A thirst to share this moment, to claim others into my mind, where all seems disordered and in panic… no, not panic… calm.
Clouds in my head- Mare's tail Cyrus- the wispy type. He told me about them once. He who lives amongst them now…
Perhaps it was he who I lost over the horizon? No, not he, for he was lost a long while ago.
Was it really that long? I lost track of the circle, time ran too fast for me this time, yet I seem to still run by it.
No cohesion, no effort at it.
A vague thought of stopping myself from stripping bare, quickly recovered by the lack of inhibition, drowned in the abandonment I subject to.
I am not sad. I am not happy. I am not angry, nor jealous, nor hurt. I simply am. And perhaps that is the worst of them all.
~Emma White.

How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year.
♥ Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of you hand and an eternity in an hour.
♥ William Blake.
We're traveled like gypsiesOnly with worse luck and far less goldWe're the kids you used to loveBut then we grew old♥

Lover, Mine. And I'll bare my soul to you, Naked under a revealing light Open to you, all thoughts, all feelings, Every mindless need exposed. And in the empty forest I'll run, Run, run. Until I find...
