1. I don’t think anyone thinks they’re cool for smoking. also why does this bother you so much? 
2. It really wasn’t a great song but again why does it bother you so much? 
3. Are you speaking specifically about your father? Because yeah he’s racist but you can’t change people that don’t see the issue not worth getting all worked up over it. 
4. The first time I actually experienced racism was when I was leaving a bar in Lowell a few years ago. Some nice guy literally just wanted my parking spot and I told him no problem he could steal mine and I told him to follow me to my spot. He said “ I'll just hang back here can’t have a black guy following a white woman from his car”. It was like 8 o’clock on a busy street I felt crushed that he felt he needed to mention that joke or not. I don’t know why racists were mentioned in the above post because there wasn’t much exposure to it.
5. I really do hate being cold. I’d rather be sweating to death 10/10 
6. It kinda does still bother me when people are that obsessed with social media. I get it but like come on man... 
7. I don’t even know what this is referencing. Like people are people you don’t get to manipulate others enough said. 
8. Being sick does blow. We agree. 
9. Being ignore and people who don’t listen also suck
10. I’ve grown some fondness for cities ( seeing as I live in one currently ) I think what I meant was I don’t like driving through cities which still is true it’s not my favorite but I do enjoy the endless possibilities of things to do that cities offer. 
11. ( Apparently I’m not good at counting ) People who touch things without asking is a bummer yes I can agree
12.  Theres no 12? 
13. Okay? Are you just making a statement or ? 
14. Why you gotta hate on fish man? 
15. I mean we agree... passive aggressive much? 
16. Dude stop worrying about the little things so much. 
Emily’s New and Potentially Improved List of Things She Hates 
1. People who call me pet names when they don’t know me very well.
2. Anyone who calls me loud
3. People who think littering is okay 
4. Anyone overly obsessive with a cause ( turns me wayyy off ) 
5. Anyone who hates animals. Like you’re wack dude
6. Anyone who hates music. DO NOT TRUST THEM. 
7. This kinda goes along with #3 but anyone who spray paints or damages national parks and such. Like you’re an asshole 
8. When your hair elastic snaps and breaks when you need it most
9. Blisters like it’s not even a cool cut. 
10. When things don’t work the way they should. I’m looking at you leaky pot I purchased from Marshalls 
10 Things I Hate!
People who think smokings cool.
ITS NOT TIME TO GET DOWN ON FRIDAY OKAY! YOU CAN’T SING!
People who think their not racist but they defiantly are.
Racist. 5.People who are mean for no reason.
Being super cold.
Girls that take photos ever single time they hangout with someone.
Girls who think once you date a guy. your in charge of him.. Your not alright. 9.When people don’t listen.
Being sick. 11.People touching my stuff.
Being ignored 13.Wishes at 11:11NEVER WORK. 14.FISH. 15.Liars 16.People in Pep Rally’s that feel it’s necessary to scream to their friends in a quite time.. You know who you are.

[Relationship Status] – Happily single
[Parents still together] – Separated ( thank fucking god ) 
[Siblings] – Two! Brendon & Katelyn 
[Pets] – Yes, Nebula ie. Nebby for short 
[Best thing that’s happened in your life thus far] - Oooff um, I think getting to know myself has been the best thing. It’s sappy but I think you generate a lot of your own happiness and how are you supposed to do that without knowing who you are. 
FAVORITE...
[Color] - Black or really any neutral color 
[Number] - 8 I think it’s just because it’s my favorite one to write 
[Animal] – Ohh this is a hard one... sloths maybe
[Book] – So I haven’t read anything since high school ( not something I'm particularly proud of so I'm just going to swap this category out for podcasts because I do listen to a shit ton of them. 
[Podcast] - Terrible Thanks For Asking ( that's the title not a sassy pun ) 
[Flower] – Offf any and all! I love Peonies, Buttercups,Tulips and Sunflowers 
[TV Show] - Mmmm Stranger Things or The Office
[Movie] - 10 Things I Hate About You 
[Holiday] - Halloween
[Album] - AM by the Arctic Monkeys 
DO YOU...
[Have tattoos?] – I do, I got a bee tattooed behind my ear while in DC. One of the better decisions I've made in my life 
[Cheat on tests?] - Oh god its been years but maybe I would depending if I really needed to pass something. Ideally you just study! 
[Like roller coasters?] – Ugh this is a tough one, depending upon the roller coaster yes. Like I'll ride Superman at Sixflags which is decently high but miss me on the stupid bring you up 300 feet and drop you rides I refuse to be on those.
[Like cleaning?] – Everything but dishes PLEASE! 
[Own a cell phone?] – I do, you kinda have to at this day and age.

[Do you believe in the one?] – I would be disappointed if there was only ONE person out there for me. Like what happens if they get hit by a bus then I'm alone forever? Plus I think timing is everything someone who may be best for me now may not be best for me in 10 years. 
[Whose the last person you said you loved?] - Austin Dugas
[Did you mean it?] - Absolutely 
ARE YOU...
[Sarcastic] – Mmmm I think I grew out of most of my sarcasm but the sass is alway real. 
[Shy] – Never. Unless its a super hot guy who I think is out of my league or that super annoying neighbor I have that I feel awful cutting off in conversation. 
[Talkative] – You’re kidding right? 
[Simple or complicated?] – So funny that a high schooler would think that they’re complicated. I guess that’s just what I wanted to be. I got what I wished for I guess. Complicated yes, very. 
[A good person?] - I really hope so 
WOULD YOU RATHER…
[Pierce your nose or belly button?] – Still my nose. Belly button piercings are weird to me.

[Have to listen to the same album on repeat for a year or listen to a new song without being able to replay them for a year?] - Oh dang that's a hard one I think I'd stick with the same album I know. Only because I know it takes me one or two listens to determine if I like a song.

[How many kids do you want?] – If nothing else was a factor maybe one or two but I tell yah right now I don’t know how anyone can manage more than themselves. 
[What kind of job do you want if you had all the money in the world?] – I still think a Marine Biologist would be cool but I would rather be a flight attendant or maybe own a small cafe or a plant store. I think I would make a good small business owner.

If only I could inform Emily of 2013 that murder podcasts would be a massive thing. Still obsessed with murders and true crime, some things never change. 
i’m sorry but the West Memphis 3 and the Holocaust just totally capture my attention. I can’t wait for this new movie to come out!

I was either super cryptic as if the day I was typing about was SO IMPORTANT that i’d remember it 5 years from now. Or my posts were super not focused and aggressive. I’ve grown so much as a person I barely recognize who I was. I’m going to post some of these with some updated thoughts. Might be funny! 
I’m okay. Lot’s going on with Mom and i’m bummed because Austin is moving to Maine but i’m trying to remain optimistic and motivated. 
well hello there pretty how are you doing today?

Oh how things change.
After detailed review of the following contents I want to say thank you. Thank you for all of the joy that you’ve brought into your own life when there really wasn't any to begin with. You’ve grown into a very strong woman although you’ll never admit that to yourself. Times have no been kind to you but here you are, fighting through it all. Chin up Emily Ann

So this is the people i work with now at Pet Supplies Plus. I love everyone here except one person. That girl with the pink hair in the front row..yeah she could just get fired and i really wouldn't give two shits. Her names Amanda. The one in the red shirt is Kyle he looks like a douche bag but hes a really nice cool kid. Shift managers are April and Alex who are both super sarcastic and nice. My manager Sinan is kinda annoying but i guess what manager isn't, Meg is one of my faves but shes not in the picture. Liz and Miranda who are next to me are really cool girls who i want to hangout with later in time. Behind me is Cory who likes to make me feel awkward but i guess everyone here does. Next to him on the right it William well Will but hes such a nugget i gotta call him William. below him is Matt who is Austins brother: you know the one who kicked my mirror off... yep his brother hes less immature but just as funny. metal will is in the other side next to Andrew who is next to Cory they are both cool... Andrew is very by the book which is kinda annoying and metal Will is to smart for his own good.
