Craaaaaazy girl.

I just sent my first query. Yes, I feel crazy. I'm excited and nervous. If they don't want it, no big deal. I can handle a rejection. And there's plenty more agents to query. But nervous I am, just the same. 

Talk about going for your dreams. I never thought I'd ever reach this point.

But here I am.

Just a craaaazy girl with a craaaazy dream. Cross your fingers, ladies. I will need all the luck I can get!

Oh Joy

Today was a lovely day.

Reasons for its loveliness:
<3 It's Tuesday (which happens to be my favorite day of the week)
<3 Oh yeah, it's Valentine's Day of course
<3 Also I turned 15 today :]

So, today I was just sitting in math. Trying my hardest to make this fancy heart paper valentine THING (yes, that is the technical term) and suddenly a beautiful, though quite lonely, rose was placed on my desk. It was delivered by someone on student council, with a small, insignificant note attached to it which said: To Emma Heath... And then the name of my math teacher. Yes, that is all. Which means: I am currently racking my brain trying to figure out who felt compelled to make my day and profess their entirely secret love in the form of Valentine's greatest symbol of drippy, gushy affection: a red rose.

I have no idea who it was. Well actually I have one, but it isn't the best possibility I could come up with. Right now I am inclined to act like Anne Shirley and just think up the most lovely explaination I can. Life is more fun when you pretend to be Anne.

That's the small explaination of my current thoughts.
I hope your day was fantastic as well :]

Loves,
Emma

pucker up, cupcake. it's valentine's day!

{24} Things To Do On An Elevator

A wish of mine: Spend a whole day with one of my best friends doing every single one of these things:


1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.


3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.

5) Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"

6) Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"

7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

9) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.


10)Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

11) Ask, "Did you feel that?"

12) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

13) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!"

14) Swat at flies that don't exist.

15) Call out, "Group Hug!"and then enforce it.

16) Open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

17) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

18) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

19) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

20) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

21) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on." (this one is my favorite)

22) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"

23) As soon as the door closes start freaking out, explaining that you are claustrophobic.

24) Ask the person next to you to tell you a knock knock joke, and then fall on the floor and laugh uncontrollably at it.

I hoped you laughed :]

Loves,
Emma

find a girl who reads.

"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads." 

- Robert Pattinson.

I don't really like this kid, in fact, the very sight of his face makes me want to hurl. but, this quote is not only romantic, but pretty much exudes truth and kindness. 

if i loved ol' Robby boy like the greater population of the females in this world, i'd probably say i would want to marry him after reading that... but his face... gah.

Oh, Robby,very cute thing to say.

post note: is it weird i've given a nickname to a celebrity i despise quite highly?

Lyric of The Day: Kelly Clarkson

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Stand a little taller.

It doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

From What Doesn't Kill You by Kelly Clarkson

My favorite part it that last line "it doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone." I've noticed that people just expect me to like someone at all times. Girls sometimes look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I don't like anyone right now. My friend Colton is still convinced I do like someone no matter how many times I tell him I don't. But guess what, I enjoy myself more when the whole world doesn't know who I like.

A small side note of great importance: I still think boys are cute. There is this boy who goes to my school. His name is Caden. yeah....... :] Nuff said, right?

So it's not like I don't notice boys, Oh trust me, I do. I just don't "like" anyone right now. And when I decide to like a certain boy, the whole world is NOT going to know about it. I have learned that lesson already. The hard way. But that is a story for another time. Coming soon to Absolutely Bonkers: Emma's boy stories from the 2011-2012 school year :P fun fun.

Well, TTFN!

-Emma Caroline

P.S. For those of you who are staring at your computer screen with a blank look of wonder and confusion on your face- TTFN stands for Ta Ta For Now. Spoken by one of my favorite Disney characters: Tiger :] haha see ya.

I guess I'm a boring person...

My idea of fun/keeping myself properly entertained (just some stuff off the top of my head)
1.Go coning
2.Finish all sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."
3.Finish other people's crossword puzzles
4.tell people I can't come to their parties 5 days in advance because I'm not in the mood
5. Spray everything anyone touches with a can of Lysol for a day
6. running up the escalator going down
7. Late night dance parties with myself
8. finish every sentence with "ya man" with a Bajan or Jamaican accent.
9. insist that absurd things are true like Bush is still president.
10. head bang with the bass UP and the windows down the street....to Mozart.
11. ask the kid at Riddley's if they take federal reserve notes.
12. move peoples bookmarks when they aren't looking.
13. pay for dinner with pennies.
14. call Wendy's to make a reservation that night.
15. insist everyone remove their shoes to avoid contamination.
16. Put everyone on speakerphone
17. have a hot tub party in the snow
18. paint a cat's toenails.
19. Street light tan and convince people it works
20. taking bubble baths
21. making gourmet dinner

Just a little humor to brighten your day:) <3 Carli

Lyric of the Day

For every moment there is a lyric. For every day there is a song. Every time I hear an especially lovely song line I write it down. Usually so that I can share it with you in the future. I have quite a list. So I am going to start taking it one day at a time, sharing random lyrics with you.

Lyric of Today:

You are beautiful in every single way. Words can't bring you down.

From Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.

Never forget that. Words are just words. And usually they are nothing but wasted breaths coming out if the mouth of someone who secretly wishes they were more like you. So don't let stupid words bring you down. Don't be the source of pointless words. Because YOU are beautiful in every single way imaginable. That is why I love you.

-Emma

where are the classy men?

where are my Cary Grants and Frank Sinatras? 

i'm sorry, and i'm not trying to vent. But lately, i have not been impressed with what i've seen.

"this is the modern generation." modern generation my foot! just because we are advancing into a modern world doesn't mean we have the right to act like weird, impolite animals. the word, "old-fashioned" does not refer to a time period, but to one's character. being old-fashioned is not a sissy term. take note, boys.

and no, just because you dress nice and put on some man perfume doesn't mean everyone will assume you're gay. Gays aren't the only one's who can dress nicely!!! take note of that as well. 

Ladies, all this applies to you, too. be classy.

look here, two of the classiest people ever to walk this Earth.

 Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.

you can be sexy AND classy.

you can be goofy AND classy.

and this has always bugged me, how guys freak out when they see other guys cross their legs. immediately, they think he's gay. well, news flash: He's not! you're jealous you can't look this classy AND cross your legs.

suck up your pride and dress like a king, because you're trying to attract a queen.
