peekaboo!
I finally got the last of my recovered hard drive data back from Ryan. Turns out I take a lot of pictures of myself on the Photo Booth application. These two had me cracking up for a good 5 minutes, so I decided to share them with you. Also because updating my blog gives me a good excuse to continue procrastinating from what I really should be doing, which is writing my goddamn artist’s...

Part 1: Santa and His Reindeer
With Christmas only days away, and school done for the quarter, Brittany, Tubbs, and I set out on Tuesday morning for a photo adventure to… Puyallup. The reason? To find Santa’s reindeer and pet the crap out of them. Unfortunately, as it turns out, Santa’s reindeer live in a slightly depressing pen surrounded by hordes of squealing children, and...
WatchBrittany spent an entire day making these and posting them on everyone’s Facebook. This one is my favorite. I’ve watched it probably 15 times, and I still crack up every time.

halloween in a college town
A conversation between me and my sister while watching the college students parade by outside in their Halloween costumes.
Claire: Oh look - she’s candy corn.
Emily: Is that what she is?
Claire: Yeah, she’s the right colors…
Emily: Oh. I thought she was just a slut wrapped in duct tape.
texts from last night (words with friends edition)
**For those of you who are unfamiliar with “Words With Friends” (I’m looking at you, Mom) it’s basically “Scrabble.” But played on your phone/computer. And it is so completely addicting. My life will never be the same…

Adventures in re-painting the living room…
this is what a good idea looks like
Time to scrape the double-sided tape off the living room windows… If you ever hear me say, “Hey guys, I think I’m going to tape paper snowflakes ALL OVER THE WINDOWS,” please smack me upside the head. I hate moving.
moving in t-minus 5 days...
…and I accidentally packed all of my bowls already, so tonight I’m eating cereal for dinner out of a sauce pan.
texts from last night (apartment hunting edition)
Emily (7:18 pm) I’m on my way to look at an apartment.
Ryan (7:30 pm) Oooo… Crackheads won?
Emily (7:50 pm) Sadly, yes. And my hatred for them grows stronger every day.
Ryan (7:52 pm) No good. Better move before you murder people and go to jail.
Emily (8:20 pm) Ooooooh… Apartment was super cute! Cross your fingers and/or sacrifice another goat for me....

Emily (9:25 pm) Slap Guy has officially left the country as of today! Yay for never having to see him again!
Xtina (9:25 pm) Yay! I hate men.
Xtina (9:27 pm) P.S. The very second I sent that last message, the 90’s Popstar texted me. Oh, so fitting.
Emily (9:28 pm) The universe has a bitchin’ sense of humor.
Xtina (9:29 pm) Indeed. I’m gonna go lay...

conversations with my crackhead neighbors
Sunday. 4:30 pm. Walking down the street…
Crackhead: Hi!
Emily: Hello.
Crackhead: Hey, aren’t you my neighbor?
Emily: Yes I am, and if you could stop smoking in your apartment, that would be great. It makes my entire apartment smell like cigarettes.
Crackhead: Oh, you can smell that?
Emily: Yeah. I can smell it.
Crackhead: Well, if it happens again I’ll take you out...

out and about with skye
As Hurricane Irene began wreaking havoc on the East Coast, Skye and I frolicked in the sun on the West Coast. Lunch at Uneeda Burger, followed by ice cream at Molly Moon, a long walk to Gasworks, and then back to my house for dinner with Tubbs. Finally!! Summer in Seattle! And just in time for fall…
just another lazy monday

Impromptu badminton in the park.
conversations with customers (parenting 101)
Sunday. 12:15 pm. It’s a full-on shit show at work. People are milling about EVERYWHERE and getting in my way. The little boy at table 5 has gotten up from his seat and is wandering around the restaurant poking at things and ignoring his mother’s commands to sit back down in his chair. As I’m busing table 1, the mother comes up to me and pulls me aside.
Mother: Can you do...
