30 Days of Blogging - Day 12: I'm Weird, Episode 2

Et voila! We have arrived at Day 12!

Why is that exciting?  I have no idea, but here we are so lets enjoy ourselves!

On this grand(ish) occasion, I present to you...

3 [More] Ways That Emmi is Weird
(still, not even close to a comprehensive list)

1.  When I wear headphones, I play with the cord in my mouth
Gross, I know.  I don't MEAN to do it!  And when I notice I (usually) remove it.  And I don't like chew on it or anything!  I just wrap it around one of my canines and let it hang out there.  Why am I even telling you this?  Seriously, I'm an odd duck folks.

2.  I won't turn down your Facebook request, I will just let you hang out in limbo forever.
Sorry.  (This doesn't actually apply to anyone reading my blog, probably.)  Somehow it feels less permanent and insulting (even though they probably won't know) to just not do anything.  I'm kinda picky about the people that I'm friends with on Facebook.  So, yeah, I have 12 friend requests pending (presumably) forever. Hey! One of them is my Uncle! ...oops.

3.  When I'm bored (and even sometimes when I'm not), I put things on my head
Again, without thinking! Especially if it is box shaped, but I really will do it with most anything.  Am I holding a roll of tape?  On my head it goes.  Do I have a book in my hands?  Up on the head!  Have I just emptied a laundry basket or a fruit box?  You guessed it, it's up there.  This has become so commonplace that my family doesn't even notice it anymore.  A while ago, I had a whole conversation with my mom while I had an empty laundry basket on my head AND SHE WASN'T EVEN PHASED!

I keep telling people!  I'm weird; we all just need to accept it and move on :)  Everyone ends happy.

Byebye for now!


Edited on Day 21:
I just now had the thought to update this, but only after I had been sitting here talking to my dad for several minutes with a cucumber box on my head. Why is it on my head? Because it was empty and just sitting on the table between us. I saved it from it's loneliness, so I ask you instead, why not?

Yes, of course, I took a picture.  Yes, my eyes are slightly cross-eyed and my face is ridiculous.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to take a selfie while balancing a wide box on your head?  It is quite difficult.

I could have tried again (and gotten a better result, preferably in landscape form), but my dad was making fun of me and I had already interrupted our conversation (that was progressing just fine while I had a box on my head) to take a picture so I though it was wise to just leave it at this.

In case you were wondering, yes, I continued to wear it for quite some time :)

Letters to Anxiety

Edit from the future for some context: Summer of 2015 I learned that I had been living with undiagnosed anxiety. And not just for a few years, but likely for my whole life. To say that the coping mechanisms that I had learned in those 25 years were "bad" is a significant understatement. It took me 3 years from this point to learn enough healthy coping mechanisms to -start- to tip the balance in the right direction, and another 2 years before I stopped using "failure" as a label for myself. Of all the posts on this blog, this one is the one I've wanted to delete the most. Just look at it! It's so cringey!! But, for better or for worse, I've decided that it gets to stay. It was an honest moment in time, and I don't have the heart to hide it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey Anxiety, You suck. Sincerely, Me P.S.

So... How've you been?

Hello lovelies!  It occurred to me today that I have been neglecting my poor little blog! To make up for it, here is another  Random Things  post :) Thing One:  Movies!!! So many movies coming out in November that I want to see!! Off the top of my head... Big Hero 6, Mockingjay, and The Imitation Game. I know that's only 3, but considering a that a typical month has maaaybe one, I think it's impressive. Such a random spread too! I feel like it gives a pretty good insight into my personality... you've got the love of disney/animated/adorable, the gotta-see-how-well-they-adapt-this-book-why-are-they-making-it-two-parts-that-seems-unnecessary, and the nerd in me wanting to see 1) Benedict Cumberbatch, and 2) the history behind the one of the coolest set of code-breaking nerds ever!  I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it...etc.). Thing Two:  Singing in Public I'm not sure how I missed this about myself before, but it has come to my attention lately that I

Dear Love, About Boxing Day...

I haven't blogged in months. This is mostly because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety in this time and had the (decidedly disabling) thought that if I blogged at all, I should write about anxiety... Turns out that it is kind of anxiety inducing to write about anxiety. So I'm cutting myself free of that for now and I'm sure I'll write about it eventually, just not when it's a "should" write about that, but instead a "want to" write about that. I'm going to write instead about something very currently important. Dear Love, I need to talk to you about Boxing Day. Yes, December 26th. It's on a Saturday this year. (It's not important that it's on a Saturday, I was just pointing it out because I'm nervous.) So here the thing... Boxing Day is a big deal for my mom's side of the family; it's a big family reunion and all that jazz. And, well, I was kinda hoping you would be able to come this year. BUT th
