cupcake man.

To the boy who ding dong ditched this box of Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes for me on my doorstep......

I love you. I don't even know you, but I love you. Search over, lets get married. The fact that you would leave sugary goodness on my doorstep on an oh so too chilly march night while i'm spazzin out about summer means that You obviously get me.




That is all.

Angsty Angst.


Sorry for the slew of posts all right in a row!! But I figure, if you don't care about what I have to say, then why are you reading this blog????

Here goes people. Right now I'm ANGSTIN'. If you don't know what that word means then DUDE LOOK THAT MESS UP!. This word is a big part of being emily. I use this word all the time because I always feel this way! But what am i angstin' for? well freak what am i NOT angsting for is the real question!!!!!?


SUMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I also tend to angst for boys. and for really good food.

but I just made a new play list in honor of SUMMER. This playlist feels like orange popsicle, sand, and teenage angst to me. I'm really really good at being angsty. Probably why Dashboard Confessional is my fave band.

I ALSO just had a birthday. And im angstin for ALOT of stuff right now.
Here is my birthday wish list for myself....since I have birthday money and have yet to get myself a nice gift for turning 24.
1. Michael Kors white watch. SO nice.

Fashion Passion....


If you know me at all, you know that I teach the missionaries at the MTC. And I absolutely LOVE them! We totally have all these inside jokes between just us 4 and I feel like they are my little brothers. Sometimes they tell me that talking about baptism with investigators should be like sending subliminal messages.
"So how was your day today....cough.baptism.....how's your family?" HAHAHA we do this all the time now!
Sometimes I call them elders to the 3rd power, or elders cubed, because there are three of them, and when they have unity, their power isn't just added together, but magnified! They are leaving on monday and I'M SAD! I'm gonna miss those little guys. I'll post some pictures soon.
Well the other day i was having my weekly interview with one of them. And He just kept saying "i can't speak Cantonese. And I think that no one likes me"
And I was like "Elder if you expect people not to like you, they won't! Plus, what's not to like? If you keep telling yourself that you can't learn Chinese, then you won't! You have to change how you feel about yourself. Every time you want to say that you can't speak Cantonese, I want you to lie back to yourself and say that you can. Say it all day long. Say it to yourself in the mirror in the morning. Say it in the shower, write it in your Journal. Just keep saying that to yourself until you believe it, and then it will come true"
I really believe this. Power of positive thinking baby. Well its time to take my own advice. And here is my own big crisis.....

FASHION.

I have very bad fashion sense. Since college i have come across a few people that have 'critiqued' the way that I dress myself, and have given me a complex about it.I buy clothes that are too big, bright colors, out of style but on sale, previously worn, and thrift store finds. Well brothers and sisters, i've decided to change this about myself. It's time to change my ways and get down to business.

two weeks ago I came home to find 2 clothing catalogues on my coffee table. I now dress just like half the girls in those magazines. Unoriginal? Probably. But who freaking cares because I look GOOD and people actually compliment me lately. I also copy all of the other girls at school....they look good and they wear army pants and flip flops, so I wear army pants and flip flops. They also wear skinny jeans and boots with skirts and cool scarves......fashion is becoming sort of an obsession for me. And therefore, I WILL be good at it. I mean, if brainless models can pick out cool clothes, shoot I pretty much have a college degree so how hard can that be? And i think I look just as good as them, even without plastic surgery. That's right. I said that. This is my fashion passion.

Here's a picture of some of the stuff I bought because I copied anthropology and Jcrew models......

my fave snack that I make for myself....



Ok girls....or guys. Just whoever reads this....

Its time to show you my favorite treat. I LOVE pizza. I love it. And sometimes i'm too poor to buy it. Or just too darn lazy to make it! So I have come up with these little treats that i LOVE: baby pizzas! not to be confused with bagel bites or any of that other frozen crap that you pick up at wal-mart. Now I have never posted a recipe or other food making thing like this on my blog before (simply because I FAIL at making food....but I DEF don't fail at eating it!!!) However, i've seen some other kids do it on their blogs and its kinda FUN! This snack is SO quick and SO easy, that I love it and I make it for me and my roommates sometimes after school. Here's what you need:

A pack of english muffins
Spaghetti Sauce or pizza sauce
grated cheddar cheeze
turkey pepperoni and whatever else you want on it.

I think the pictures make it pretty self explanatory. And this mess is HEALTHY people!!!!!


Birfday!!!!!!!!

nowit'stimetotalkaboutmy BIRTHDAY!!!
ok....i got older. woo. Newho, On to pics of the great celebrations.

On the friday before my birthday, some amazing friends decided to throw me a part-TAY at their house that is white. Its called the white house. That day after class we went to get food and glow sticks, and then picked up some friends to go eat at this amazing place......BOMBAY HOUSE!!! Its REALLY yummy indian food and I don't even remember what I ate because my friend picked it out for me, but OMG I want to marry this food. hmmmm.

Then we dined for so long that we forgot that our party was starting without us!!! So we ran home to make the playlist of Jamz. Everyone that is ANYONE in the prov was there people. Even some random people ran in and crashed the party as if they were invited. My new soon to be roommates also came, but did not make it inside because they were outside having deep deep convos about life. As if that's more exciting than dancing. Several moves were busted.




On Monday my amazing brother and sister took me to my now second favorite. Second only to bombay house that is. and thats CRACKER BARREL. There is no other place where you can eat mom's home cookin, play checkers on your table, and go shopping in an old country store all in one restaurant!!! My sister also gave me a sweet sweet outfit from forever 21 to wear on my REAL birthday. And there weren't any tags on it so I think she might have re-gifted it. But that mess is hot so whatever.


On Tuesday, 2 of my married friends came with me to SLAB!!! Its this place under campus plaza where you eat really really ridiculously large slices of really really good pizza. Stephanie and I have been friends for like years, and she lives accross the street from me with her husband! Abby slept in the bunk above me in London, and at first it drove me nuts that she always got into her bed at like 4 in the morning after doing art projects and woke me up with her snoring every single night!!! So-because of this of course we were destined to be friends. These 2 supported me non-stop from the time we got back from London, to the day that I left on my mission. And they even wrote to me!!! I love you both! And Abby even has a baby now.....he is just THE. CUTEST. THING.


Then later that night. Fro-Yo. my favorite treat with some of my favorite people. Need I say more?
