My music differs from what most kids my age listen to...
It is a 99% chance you have never heard of these people because:
1. They are from the United Kingdom
2. Most are independent singer/songwriters and unsigned
3. They are far better than Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers/Other crap labeled "music"
They might be different from what you listen to, but give them a chance and you might be surprised! (By the way, my favorite is Emmy the Great! My blog name was inspired by her! She is an amazing singer, but i think only one song on here she sings in, so you might have to look her up- you won't be sorry!)
Stay Cool.

Driving Away
This is a song I wrote so please don't be too mean =]
Driving Away
Changed my name
Moved out of the state
Broken heart
Forgetting that part
[Oh woo oh woo oh]
Driving away
Trying to clear my head
Listening to indie
Drinking down Pepsi
Taking up smoking
Sunglasses on
(And I’m)
5’ 4” now
Only sixteen
Taking shots of whiskey
Sleeping in the backseat
Crying nonstop
Staying up all night
Driving far
Me and my guitar
[Oh woo oh woo oh]
Driving Away
Leaving me behind
Listening to indie
Drinking down Pepsi
Taking up smoking
Sunglasses on
(And I’m)
5’ 4” now
Only sixteen
Taking shots of whiskey
Sleeping in the backseat
Lost control
Given up the fight
Dreams are gone
So I wrote this song
[Oh woo oh woo oh]
Driving away
Trying to clear my head
Stay Cool.

These Days
This summer has been a drag lately. I haven't been doing anything fun since I am home alone. Basically, my days this past week have been sitting on the couch, clicking through programs. Hopefully next week will be more action packed. Today I took a stand though- I read all day insead of sitting in front of a screen! I read Twilight, some of this book I never read that was sitting on my bookshelf, and a new seventeen magazine. Go me! I think in the near future, I'm gonna post a blog about the music I like. I figure, since this whole blog is dedicated to me, I might as well show you what I love! Sorry this blog entry was so short...I just really have nothing going on in my life right now...Hopefully your days are a bit better.

My Life Plan
Since my life is just so darn interesting, I figured I would tell you my plans after highschool. So, I will apply to a college somewhere. Perhaps Washington or anywhere thats not sharing a border with New Jersey. Once I am through with college, I will go to London for an extended vacation, and maybe stay for a year or something. If I like it there, I will move there. I probably will also carry on my nocturnal habits with me to London. Then I will meet someone named Charles Lerche who is a musician and we will live in a small apartment in the hub of London. Later on we will have two twin children. A boy named Benjamin and a girl named Charlotte. They will go to Harrodian Private School and grow up to be musicians. Benjamin will play the guitar while Charlotte sings and they will be called the "Lost Lerches". They will even have a myspace complete with the recordings of their new single. Then we will all live happily ever after.

Harrodian Dream
So the school that Rob went to was Harrodian School in London. Basically, I had a dream last night that it was my first day enrolled in this school. I will be posting pictures next to the story periodically so that you can picture it.

Okay, so my dream starts off with me at Harrodian's auditorium. It is where the school is giving us an orientation-like presentation. After the speech by the principal or whatever, they play a movie on the projector. It is some abstract version of Alice in Wonderland I think...but they all wore masks. I was very interesting.

After that, all of the students were transported to the "hub" of Harrodian where they gave us our class schedules. Everyone started rushing to get to their classes now and I was left staring at my paper. Then I spotted one of my friends [Alyssa!!] and I asked her to help me find my first class, which was Math. She tried to help me for probably ten minutes until she said she was going to be late for her own class. So I was left to try and find it myself. I made a turn into some alley, and I ended up in the mall. In my dreams, I always have the same mall, so I'm gonna call it "Dream Mall". So, I was at Dream Mall, and I was walking around really confused. Then, I went to a stand that sold watches, and I asked the man where my school was. He said to find Harrodian, you have to walk through the unusual parts of a store where no one goes to. Sort of like the darkest corner. So I went to some dark dance studio place, and no one was there. So I walked up to a really dark corner, and then the mirror wall like transformed into a door. So I opened it, but it was the entrance to the Harrodian cafeteria, not my Math class. So I keep trying more stores, until one store I go into, and it leads me to this really small underground pit thing. It was so small that I was crouching down to fit. Then I see this mole, who apparently works for the school. In the pit, there is a printer and the mole uses it to print forms for the school. I had lost my schedule, so I asked the mole to print me out one. He said he couldn't, but he knew where the secretary was that could help me.

So all of a sudden, some cannon thing burst a hole through the dirt pit, and I was shot up into the secretary's office. It looked like the picture on the right. The secretary asked me what I needed and I told her that I lost my schedule, and I can't find any of my classes, and I told her my mall story. All of a sudden, she bursted out laughing and told me that the mall entrances were for emergency purposes only. Then, as she was printing me put a new schedule, she explained to me the way every student goes to their classes. It is really a bunch of roads right outside the school that leads to any and every class you have. I felt so stupid. I grabbed my schedule, and the map she gave me of the roads, and I left to find my classes. I was walking, and there I found all of the students walking on the roads. I was walking to find my next class when I realized a mistake on my scehdule. Spanish class was on my schedule, and I wanted to take French! So I went back to the secretary to get it changed and I ended up in the cafeteria. So I then decided that this school was just a big maze. Then I woke up.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Wow, I actually used a quote from "The Outsiders". Okay, technically from Stevie Wonder but whatever. Now I have learned that it is true. Everything good eventually dies out, whether it's your mother's flower garden, that macaroni and cheese in your fridge, or even friendships. Unfortunately, I've learned that the hard way. What I don't get is, shouldn't keeping friendships be easier than keeping macaroni fresh? Macaroni will always go bad, but why do friends have to? Oh well. Right now, I am going to attempt to make a youtube video! Guess what its about! Take a wild guess: TWILIGHT! Well, technically it will be about my favorite book of the series, New Moon. This is getting on my nerves because Windows Movie Maker isn't cooperating with me. Bad Windows, BAD! Well, I'm gonna go hassle with it some more. Watch for my video when I'm done with it. I will post it on here!

SUMMER '08 BABY!!
Yeah! Yes! Si! Oui! Summer is here! Yes people, the time to sit back, take a deep breath, and chillax. My finals are over FINALLY! Ha Ha- Finals...Finally! Sorry, it was funny to me... Anyway, this summer I really want to make a list of things to do for fun. Since I'm only going camping this year, and not a real vacation, I want to do something extra to keep me busy. Maybe, like taking a hike or a bike trip or something with my friends. Something active and adventurous. I also want to do something like organise my room once and for all. It is a mess! I can never find anything! It's going to require a lot of tools though...a file cabinet, secret compartments, closet storage for sure, ect. This summer I really want to do some volunteering for this group I'm in that's basically a bunch of environmentalists all over the world. It's called GreenPeace. They are well known for their petitions and strikes made at the scenes of the crime. GreenPeace is really hardworking and strong, and I really want to help them out this summer. If you are concerned with the preservation of the Earth, you should definitely join this group! Even if you don't have time to get out and volunteer, you can help them out write at your computer! You can send letters, emails, and sign petitions over the internet, which is sent to your government, or others from different countries. Every little thing counts! Remember that! If you are interested though, go on to http://www.greenpeace.com/. So, I think I will have fun with that this summer. I hope I don't sound to much like an info-mercial, because I really mean what I'm saying. Oh well, have a good summer- I know I will!

Breathe a Sigh of Relief
The hard finals are a thing in the past, so it's all downhill from here! So basically I stressed over nothing at all. I was expecting the final to have teeth and claws, and possibly able to chew me up and spit me out! But, fortunatly, it was not that hard and I was well prepared. I noticed today how different my teachers really are. My science teacher is extremely laid back, especially about the test! I think she let me up to sharpen my pencil about five times, and her test was only about 100 questions. On the other hand, my phsyco english teacher treated this test like it was the SAT's! Oh I almost forgot, during the test, someone texted me, so my phone went off in that class! He was like "WHO EVER THAT IS, TURN IT OFF NOW! DON'T TURN IT ON SILENT, TURN IT OFF! I WILL COLLECT YOUR TEST IF I HEAR IT AGAIN!" Well, I didn't want to look like the culprit, so I didn't do anything but prayed it wouldn't go off again. His test was about 150 questions- It looked like a book! When I had about 20 questions left, he made an announcement that there was 8 minutes left. And when he was collecting the tests. I was trying to finish the last five questions! Oh well, at least I finished them. Now I only have computer applications and honors french finals left, but those will be super easy. And tomorrow's the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! Woot Woot! Go Summer '08!

Only Two More Days!!!!
Yes, you heard right! Only two more days till school is over, and summer begins! I'm sort of terrified right now though, because my dumb high school decided to stick finals during the last two days of school and I'm totally stressing over them! To top it off, my teacher told us that his test was very very hard and if we didn't study thoroughly we would fail. It's like they have nothing better to do than to give us ridiculously long and hard tests [which will end up being wasted paper from virgin trees, nice going!]. Basically, these tests serve no purpose other than to harm our environment. Well, I have to go study some more for this earth-killer.

My Favorite Twilight Quotes
Edward: "Afraid of a needle." he muttered to himself under his breath, shaking his head. "Oh, a sadistic vampire, intent on torturing her to death, sure, no problem, she runs off to meet him. An IV, on the other hand..."
Bella: "Do you want me to bolt the doors so you can massacre the unsuspecting townsfolk?"
Bella: "I wasn't interesting. And he was. Interesting...and brilliant...and mysterious...and perfect...and beautiful...and possibly able to lift full-sized vans with one hand."

My 3rd Twilight Dream!!
I have had three Twilight/Robert Pattinson dreams so far! Woot Woot! Well I am just gonna tell you this one since it includes some other twilight actors/actresses besides Rob. So my dream takes place at the twilight movie premiere- but it isn't a real premiere, it's more like a really fancy dinner. I was at one table with the girls from twilight including Kristen Stewart and Ashley Green. The table across from us was the guys from twilight including Rob, Kellan Lutz, and some of Rob's dopey friends. So I was up getting food, and this little girl comes up behind me and says, "My name is Ariel. I'm lost!" Then I basically ignore her and walk back to the table. The whole time I was eating I was staring at Rob and his friends.
He was wearing his "Rainbow-Stylin" sweater from "The Bad Mother's Handbook" but with his Edward hair. He was drinking beer and I don't remember what he was eating...but his friends were really drunk and they were all wearing these blue "private school-like" suits with khaki pants. All of a sudden, I was in front of a hotel. Me and Kristen were by the front doors talking. She said "Have you seen a little girl named Ariel?". I don't know why, but I said, "No". Then she said, "Well if you see her, call Rob at his hotel room and tell him." Then she gave me his number while I wrote it on my hand [oddly, the number she gave me was my own house number!]. Then as I walked away from the hoyel, a bunch of paparazzi started attacking me and yelling, "GIVE ME ROB'S NUMBER!". Then I woke up from my stupid alarm clock at the butt crack of dawn...

Future Husband: Spunk Ransom
Where do I start? Okay, the first I ever heard of Robert Pattinson was through Harry Potter. Then I started liking him the most through Twilight the movie! Personally, I like better him in those quirky movies he plays in [The Bad Mother's Handbook/How to Be] because I think it better depicts his personality. For example, he likes the name "Spunk Ransom"...nuff said. Many people [mainly fan girls] just like his appearance. I actually like his quirky personality!!! I mean, don't get me wrong, he IS gorgeous, but there is more to that pretty face. There is SPUNK :]

Numero Uno!
Woo Hoo! This is my first blog entry. Okay, this is my first blog entry EVER! Hmm...well I'm fairly new at this sort of thing...I don't really know what kinds of things to write on here. Should I tell you about my day, maybe? First, I will tell you a little about myself. My name is Emily, but I go by Emily the Great on here. Second, I am completely, and utterly obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer-and even more obsessed with the movie adaption of it coming in theaters on December 12! So you can be sure that I will write a bunch about the movie. So I'll be back here as often as I can, filling you in on all of the enticing details of my existence. Yay!
