09. Update

Hi. I know I haven't spoken to you guys through this lovely blog in a while, and I'm really sorry for that. I've been getting on Polyvore every day though, even if it's just to go through and like people's sets and things. I feel like you need an explanation as to why I kind of stopped blogging for a while, and I'm totally prepared to give you one. I didn't really want to talk about what was going on in my life, or what IS going on in my life, but if you've taken the time to come here and read this then I think you should know. I've been feeling really sad lately, some have even called it depression, but I don't think it is. I don't think I would ever take my own life or self-harm, but I often wonder what people would do if I did die. Maybe I walked out into traffic, or I got cancer or something terrible of the sort. I wonder who would cry for me. But then I get home, and I go upstairs to my room, and I think of all the terrible things I had to sit through that day. And then I decide I don't have to feel that way, and I turn on my music. Most of the time it's between (prepare yourself, I like a lot of bands) All Time Low, We The Kings, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, Man Overboard, or Memphis May Fire. When I listen to their music it just makes me feel better, and it makes me realize that I have all these reasons to stay alive and be happy about it. Well, at least one for now. And that's Warped Tour. I had so much fun when I went last year, even though I was a noob to the whole idea. This Summer I'm going to be a Warped Vet and hopefully I will get to meet everyone I want and tell them how much they mean to me. And sometimes thinking about my future makes me feel better. I know everyone says don't dwell on the past, don't worry about the future, live in the present; but I'd rather not look at the past because I was an ugly b.itch (and I kind of still am, but let's not talk about that right now), and I don't want to think about the present because that's pretty crappy too, so the only thing I have to be happy about is what the future holds. Growing up, falling in love, too many Warped Tours to count, and even tomorrow I'm going to a concert for two bands called Skinny Lister (opener) and Flogging Molly (headliner). If you haven't heard of them you should go look them up because they're awesome, and you could learn something new about me. Those new things are that I like Irish punk and Sea Shanties. And maybe at some other point I will talk about how I met Skinny Lister at Warped '12 and they were super nice and awesome and we're like besties now. Okay that last part was a lie.

Aww, see I feel like my old self already... I really should have started blogging again a long time ago because it really does make me feel better. Well, I think this is it for this post. And for anyone actually reading this just know, http://bigassmessage.com/ca7fa

08 1/2 Pictures To Clip To Polyvore

First, I would like to say that I'm very sorry for not posting lately. I'm not going to make excuses for anything; I just wasn't feeling it at all. I was lacking a lot of creativity, and I just felt kind of drained. Maybe it's because I've been on break so I don't really have a lot of inspiration. But I'll try to find some and post more often because I know some of you just really like reading this. But this post is really for some pictures that I want to clip to Polyvore. My account was deleted, and I know I didn't do it. So if you have an account go follow me @hey-its-emmy So here we goooo!!

08. The Hate Is Too Powerful

So I'm not really a hateful person, but there are just some things that I can't stand. It's basically just three things, but I'm starting to realize there are a lot of other little things that just rub me the wrong way. And I might be making a mistake by telling you all this, but here's the list of things I hate. Oh, and two out of the three are words, and I might just have to come right out and say it (but I probably won't; figure it out for yourself). Oh gosh just the thought of it bothers me so much... Ugh.

1. That stuff that can sometimes be found in orange juice and it's just NASTY
2. Another word for brochure (hint: it starts with the letter P)
3. Sexist jokes (i.e. get back in the kitchen, make me a sammich, etc.)

Now I'm not going to be one of those people who says they don't know why they hate these things they way that they do, so I'm going to give you yet another list. This list will be of the reasons why I hate the things listed above.

1. The word is just disgusting and should not exist.
2. It doesn't make any friggin sense and you have to take super long to say it because it's just a complicated word that (like #1) should not exist.
3. They're just annoying, and it makes me want to kick someone in the stomach.

So yeah, basically what I'm trying to say is don't do these things to me or I will cut you and your family.
Just think how important you must be to me to have learned these things...
So I want to know what are the top 3 things you hate the most?

07. What It's Like To Be An Angry Hipster Trolling The Internet

Sometimes having almost all of your life on the internet can be difficult. It wouldn't be that way if it wasn't for stupid people who just don't know how to live properly. Sometimes I think I've met people similar to myself, but then I realize how they really are. So this is what my life is like a lot of the time. Are you ready for this? You better be.
-"OMG I ♥ DOCTOR WHO!! I'M SUCH A WHOVIAN!! Oh, um, David Tennant... I know that name, I swear, I just can't put my finger on it..."
- "OH MY GOODNESS EVERY AVENUE IS LIKE THE BEST BAND EVER"
(Yeah too late motherfugger they're on their last tour)
And those are just some of the things people say that make me want them to die.
Not I'm not going to give you an entire paragraph about why I think of myself as a Hipster, because that's just not what I'm going to do.
Both of my parents say I talk, act, and even sometimes dress like a Hipster, so therefore I must be one.
But just by the way I look at the situation of people saying things like these makes me realize that I am kind of a Hipster.
So I guess I just gave you and entire paragraph, but you don't see me giving any rat teeth over here.
So if you agree with me, we have each other.
You, me, and the little bit of the internet that hasn't been brainwashed by what they think is cool.


06. Publicity

If you don't know what publicity means, I suggest you go look it up because I don't know how to explain it.
Now that we have that out of the way, we can get on to the whole point of this post.
Some people will go to crazy lengths to get their name out there. I mean, I tell my friends about this blog, and tell them to tell their friends and yeah I made a set on the tip account, but calm down. It's not like I rote my twitter name on a trashcan (I actually saw someone do that... so yeah, that happened) or writing the URL to this little corner of the internet on the bathroom walls.
I just find it funny what people will do to become popular, whether it's on the internet or in the really real world.
I just kind of like the idea of people discovering my blog by themselves, although it probably wouldn't be completely by themselves because the link is all up in their face when they go to my page or the tip account, but whatever.
Yeah, this is a short post. I know. I really just wanted to say that it's weird how people seem to feed off of how many people follow them on twitter or how many views their blog got today.
Honestly, it's not the end of the world. Friday might be though.
So I'm living this week like it will end on Friday.
I'm going to tell people what they need to know. And by the time you're reading this I might have already done that, but maybe not. I don't know.
But you know what I do know?
I'm a timelord.

05. How To Properly Insult Someone

For some people, insults are not a very strong subject. For others, very creative burns just come naturally. I like to think that I'm one of the people that's in the middle; sometimes I can just pull something great out of my brain (and also sometimes the gutter) and other times I just stand there looking really awkward for a little while until finally saying "Your Mom".
Okay, I'm going to be honest. I resort to Your Mom quite often.
But that doesn't mean that I can't also come up with some great zingers to make everyone laugh.
But I'm going to give you a few tips on how to insult someone like a pro.
Because there comes a time in everyone's life where they need something to say that will 1 up the other person in the argument at hand.
1. If you think you might want to be friends with this person at some point in time, never insult them on things that are absolutely true. If you can get at least 4 people to agree with you on what you said, you're probably right. So think carefully; do you really hate this person? If you do, just get rid of your filter and have a go at their hair that may look like it was just coughed up by a goat.
2. Use big words, but not so big that they will confuse the ignorant little fugger you're absolutely demolishing in this back-and-forth.
3. Try using terms they don't know, like chav. This will really make them think, and while they're busy trying to think of what that could possibly mean they will most likely end up looking really dumb because they haven't said anything back.
4. Try to sound like you're completely calm about the whole situation, even though you and I both know you aren't. You could even throw in some Darlings or Sweeties.

So I think those are the most important tips. If those don't help you I'm very sorry, and there's probably no hope for you winning this argument.
I will try to write as much as possible this week, but I don't know how much homework I will have due to Winter Break, which starts this Friday if any of you are interested.
If you have anything you want me to talk about or you just want to say how much you love/hate the blog, you can message me on Polyvore (username is emmawillow) or email me (primary address is spookyemma@gmail.com)
