Fool's Gold Silver Lining

If I was anyone else, statistics might comfort me, but with how my life goes, I just think "Great. There's something ELSE that will probably happen to me." I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. My life reeaaaly sucks that bad. Only Me.

Something else I probably won’t follow through on…

I decided to start a blogspot for some comics that have been floating around in my head for a while. You should check out my first post :)

My elbow hurts :c

I think I have tennis elbow. Although I wouldn’t really know…because I’ve never had that…nor have I ever really played tennis…not successfully enough to name any particular ailment after it anyway… 

Point is, my elbow hurts. Why does my elbow hurt? The technical reason…I’m not really sure. The PROBABLE reason…I stayed up practically all night surfing the internet. My computer “desk” is actually a dining table that comes up to my belly button when I stand up (seriously, I just checked), so when I type or have my hand on the mouse, my hand is above my elbow with most of the weight of my arm resting on the table just above my elbow. So the rest of the night while I was trying to sleep, my elbow’s all “MHEEERRR I’M HURTY” and all morning while I’m trying to surf the internet some more it’s all “I DUN WUNNA STRAIGHTEN :C” and I’m all FFFFFUUUUUUUUU……!!!!!

The End.

Birthday Wishes

I know I won’t get any of this lol, but it makes me feel nice to have a list of things I’d like for some reason. So here goes.

1. Pretty much ANY of these bags http://www.etsy.com/shop/seaoats 

But especially this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/49076978/upcycled-new-jersey-city-birds-pouch-in

2. Some sunglasses that resemble these (or just heart lenses in general) that are real and not made for 6 year olds and will stay on my face :)

3. A full body mirror, even just a cheap one, that’s not all janky and missing a frame like mine :)

4. Some maternity clothes that are cute and fit me. My wardrobe has become so limited these days, mainly just because nothing fits me. It sucks when I can’t express myself through what I wear because I have to just wear what fits :(

5. A baby book

6. A pair of those A-MAZING tights I reblogged about a few posts down. *drools*


Happy Birthday toooo meeeeee ^_^

This kind of makes me wish I had lots of Tumblr friends to make me stuff for my birthday, like signs where they wrote out “Happy Birthday” and took a picture of themselves holding it instead of just writing it, or like a picture of a funny cat with a birthday hat photoshopped onto it or something, I dunno. I’m not good at that stuff.

I do, however, have the most amazing friends and family, who (bless their hearts) have been telling me happy birthday since midnight on the dot last night, just as I had FINALLY fallen asleep. Here’s a few of my favorite messages and birthday wishes so far. I may have more later, the day is young :)

Brother Sam: (at midnight, my phone rings twice before I reach over and smash it like an alarm clock and turn it off. this morning, I get this voicemail)  “hey, sam it’s emily. I’m callin this phoooone….. leavin a messsssaaaaaage…it’s someone’s birthday right about now, so i was just calling to say hell yes happy freakin birthday, I love you and stuff, you better call me when you get this, or I’ll kill you, and I don’t think you want to die on your birthday….. call me…. you better….. i’m serious….. right now.

Dad: (I wake up to a missed call and voicemail from dad. Here’s the voicemail. It’s written in all caps because he’s all but screaming into the phone for some reason)

“HI EM HAPPY BIRTHDAY — IT’S DAD— UUUUUH I LOVE YOU — HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY UUUUHHH CALL ME IF YOU CAN — UUUUUH ALSO I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE ON YOUR FACEBOOK —IT’LL BE UNDER YOUR BABY PICTURE— I COMMENTED ON YOUR BABY PICTURE, ALSO IN YOUR INBOX -CHECK YOUR INBOX —UUUUH LOVE YOU BYE”

The comment under my baby picture: “Happy Birthday Emily! I love you! I sent you a message to your inbox!”

The message in my inbox: “Happy Birthday Emily! Congrats on the boy! I love you! I commented under your baby picture! Dad”

I’ve tried explaining notifications to dad, but at least he’s thorough :)

I also woke up with a text from my best friend in the whole wide world Aesha, who I’ve never even been able to meet in person, but this proves that that doesn’t matter:

“Happpeeee birrffddaayy. I like saying it like an excited black dude. Left a little sappiness on your wall. i’ll likely pass out after sending this, but I just wanted to say how truly wonderful it is to be able to celebrate not only your life, but everyday I get to celebrate you coming into mine. I can’t send you anything yet cuz I’m broke, but I will once the skies clear. I love you.”

To that I say, PLEASE Yoshi. Just you existing is present enough :)

And here’s the “sappiness” on my wall from her:

happy birffday, my love. oh boi. about to text you. i love you so much. i cant imagine anyone besides my son whose life i love to celebrate more. youve been a blessing to me ever since you myspaced me the obviousness of our similarities, and thats the day my life changed. xxxo ♥”

Yoshi, I love you more than words can say, and that’s why, today, on my birthday, you are my favorite person in the world. Out of everyone, friends, family, boyfriends, dogs trying to hump my leg, YOU have made me feel the most special, and you did it from a bajillion megamillion bullionillian miles away. Hold your head high friend. Feel proud :)

It’s that kind of morning,
and I’m obviously doing this wrong.

For some reason I woke up ready to go at 4:30 this morning. He wakes up at 5 usually for work, so I decided to just go ahead and get up and make some coffee and breakfast. As I’m standing there trying to figure out how much coffee to grind and where to put it and how much water to use and where to pour it, he comes out of the bedroom still more than half asleep.
“What are you doing?” He asks with a groggy tilt to his head.
“Making coffee…”
“Why?”
“….for to drink…”
“Why are you awake?”
I glance down at my belly and repeat the question at jr. There’s no answer.
“Nobody knows” I exclaim as I throw my hands in the air, obviously waaay more awake than he is. We share a giggle that almost makes me believe that everything is ok. I have to cherish these moments when they come. I’ve learned to just try and enjoy these when they come instead of letting them remind me of all the times things aren’t so pleasant.  These have become the moments I live for.

Finally got a better scan of Theophilis! He is a : Friendly Giant Sea Monster Thing.


I wish I could create things like this with my own hands. I MUST follow through and learn how to draw or I just might lose my mind.

Sometimes I want to just sink into the ground and cease to exist as I currently do. I want to spread my body out like roots so that I can sense, actually sense the world around me, feeling everything as a part of myself. That’s what this reminds me of.
