You like me! Of course, you probably don't know me very well.

We had our rehearsal last night.

Everyone was fabulous. If you’re coming (tickets here hint oh-so-subtle hint) you’re going to really enjoy yourself.

The best part, though? How much braver they made me.

The reality:

How they made me feel:

I have been close to withdrawing several times – school is a little overwhelming and speaking to 1300 people in 7 days isn’t exactly helping to alleviate that. However, do you SEE the crown? I can’t not do it. They made me a ‘you’re cool’ crown. An imaginary one. In my head and nowhere else. But still. A crown.

what does ‘placed at a crime scene mean?’

It sounds to me like something is put down in the place where a crime was committed, but that doesn’t make very much sense. If your car was ‘placed at a crime scene’, doesn’t that sound like the cops borrowed it, drove it over to the scene, lifted up the yellow tape, and gently parked your car above the ajar pothole that was used to get into the sewer where the tunnel into the bank vault had been dug?

The only time I’ve been the victim of a crime was this time in high school when someone broke into my 1983 Audi, took my Rent CD OUT of my CD player, and then stole the CD player and the rest of my CDs.

Otherwise known as the day that my stuff was stolen and my musical tastes were harshly, harshly judged.

Other than that occasion, crime in my head is always very heist-like. There are always black outfits and expensive tools, sexy co-criminals and evil targets. When I hear about thieves, I always picture them leaning over a drafting table in the corner of a dimly lit warehouse, planning entry points and exit routes.

Clearly, this isn’t the most accurate version of things, but it’s the one I prefer.

Also?

It’s the kind of thief I’d like to be.

P.S. I know that The Road More Travelled, which I have been pimping like mad, isn’t working. We’re trying to figure it out REALLY HARD. If you don’t believe me, ask GoDaddy – I spoke to them 6 times yesterday. I have the menu options memorized. I will make it work.

well hello there

While I have been vacation going/job quitting/school studying/company starting, I’ve picked up quit a few new readers.

I don’t know where you came from, but I love you more than you can possibly know. If you need anything, call me. Liver? (Wait… which one do I have two of? Kidney?) Whichever organ I have two of, you can have one.

That’s how much I love you.

Just so you know EXACTLY what you get from emma-nation, though, I’ve made you some pictures. Print them out small and stick them in your wallet, print them out huge and hang them on your wall, get them tattooed on your ass, whatever. I don’t judge. (That’s a lie, I judge all the time. I judge like I’m being paid for it. But I won’t judge YOU, obviously.)

For when you’re feeling blue:

emma-nation: because we can't all stare longingly at the ocean

For ANYTIME. EVER:

For when you’re feeling intellectual:

emma-nation: you want meta? I'll give you meta.

Also, don’t forget The Road More Travelled, a new collaborative quarter-life-crisis we’re-doing-good-just-by-making-it-through-the-day blog. It’s so new there aren’t any posts yet, but we’ll be up and running daily starting Monday. It’s less about shit-that-happens-to-Emma and more about growing up, having thoughts, stuff like that. Thoughts: everyone has them. Well, mostly.

For when you’re feeling snarky:

The Road More Travelled: Because really, what have YOU done with YOUR life that's so great?For when you want to know you’re not alone in thinking that regular everyday things are kind of cool:

The Road More Travelled: Because sometimes? Growing your own cauliflower is exciting enough.For when you really just want another cocktail:

The Road More Travelled: Beer bellies for all!

And finally, if you feel like looking at pictures of food (and who doesn’t, amirite?), you can always head over to my sad little love child of a blog Mangled Baby Duck.

Mangled Baby Duck: Because my foot is sexy.No, my sexy foot doesn’t have anything to do with it being a food blog. Neither does the title, for that matter. What do you people expect from me?? God, you’re so demanding sometimes.

That’s it, I’m taking my kidney back.

well THAT doesn’t make sense

I sort of have a crush on Jack Black. He’s unattractive, crude, and yet somehow I dig him. The fact that he’s hilarious doesn’t hurt, but still.

What is that? I know I’m not the only one with an inexplicable crush. (See also, Seth Green.)

Maybe I like him because he’s the anti-Taylor Lautner. If you put the two together, you would basically have my perfect man.

Hm. Are you seeing this too?

Star likes John Cusack, even though the man is INSANE. (Sample John Cusack tweet: also due a sincere apology for daring to cub-bash with shockozulu–will save herthe darkness of beber– but will require tough love3:30 PM May 27thvia TweetDeck. Seriously – WHAT?)

A buddy-of-a-buddy really had a thing for Rue McClanahan. Like, recently. (Well, pre her death – RIP, Blanche.)

Who do you like? (Please don’t say no one, ok? We all have ‘em.)

what happens when you leave your boyfriend alone with your Netflix app?
