Home of a future Starving Artist

Hi I’m Emilie.

I’m 19 (no longer obvious from my sn, huh?) and a Sophomore at St. Martin’s University. I am currently double majoring in Music (vocal and flute) and Theatre Arts. I really want to become a college professor…which means a lot more college (hurray!) Which means more money (oh dear). Here is a fun emo picture:

I love to act, sing, dance, collage, paint, create, write, scrapbook, play my flute, figure out how to belt, sing 1st soprano when my voice teacher isn’t around lol.

I love nature, although I’m no hippy. I am also most definitely not an activist. And going green? Meh. I’ll recycle, but that’s about it.

I don’t really know what to write here, I guess I should find a handy dandy survey or something. Here, I’ll make one up.

My favorite color is pink (sorry, it’s predictable) but I don’t wear it exclusively (anymore). I’ve done a lot of growing and maturing over the past year–my first college year. I’ve done things I never thought I would, but I’m not a crazy rebel or anything. Just finding my way.

I’ve always wanted to sky dive, I want to travel. I love making films, I love organizing my books.

I dream of someday having my own library. With about 300 books I’m well on my way to being there, but I still have a lot further to go.

I love the medium of film. It entrances and intrigues me. I watch movies over and over again, and every time I find some new element that enlightens and excites me. It is the same with books. I am a crybaby when it comes to books and film, but for some reason I find it hard to cry when real things happen. Deep things.

It’s the same with pain.

If something hurts a little I howl, if it hurts a lot I am silent (or try to be). I tend to internalize things although I try not to.

I am pretty good at reading people, even though I keep it under wraps. I try to be kind to everyone, but sometimes I fail.

I’m not a thrill seeker, but over the last year I’ve become a little more adventurous. I love spending time with friends and (sometimes) with family.

My blog is a place for me to share my inner feelings and get them out (since I internalize so much) and for me to write about day to day occasions, or anything that really interests me.

I don’t promise to be always light or always deep.

And I apologize in advance for my flowery language and my whimsical thoughts. It’s how I write. If you don’t like it, I am truly sorry but I wouldn’t change for the world.

I was born in Ellensburg, while my parents were in college. I’ve lived all my life in Washington (mostly in western) and I absolutely love it. I live in a small logging town on the Puget Sound, but lately it’s been a little cramped.

I’m ready to move on with my life, and to grow.

Wish me luck, and I hope you travel with me via my blog.

Sincerely,

Emilie
