Welcome to Emily The Vampire Slayer, my name is Emily (surprised?) & this is my personal webspace that is free for me to say as I like in. You don't agree with my ramblings? That's fine, leave. I'm not out to offend or upset anyone but, like most, I'm very opiniated... that can often get in the way of my desire to be friends with everyone I meet because I won't drop my beliefs for anyone. Why should I? But feel free to take a look around and comment my blogs. Any questions, issues or complaints can be addressed here.

Wow, well as you may or may not know, last week I was off college with my Mum to help her through this whole depression thing and the week before I was ill. So, basically, I felt so weird about going back this morning I was thinking about all sorts to get out of it - playing on my Mum's depression, illness again, etc. Well no one would be stupid enough to fall for the latter and my Dad was working from home anyway. So I sat on the sofa, dreading facing that part of my life again when we looked out of the window and it was snowing. Heavily. Jake made a brief comment about the school maybe being closed due to the weather but our school never closes. One of the Maths teachers once told us that the last time it closed was in the seventies, he reckoned that it would practically have to be on fire for Mcnally to step up and let us stay home. But then Copley called and told us it was all over the radio, a whole bunch of schools in the area were closed, including ours!!! Fortune truly has snowed upon me. While I'm hear, though, on this subject, I'd like to fill people in on exactly what did happen last week. Nobody but me and my Mum knew what was happening and also Chris one of the days. On a morning, I'd get ready for college as usual and go in the car with Jake and Chelsey... and then when they went into school I told them I was calling at the shop and I went and bought the Times before going back to my Mum's car where she'd parked further down the street. Then when she would normally have picked us up I went with her and sat in the car, so it looked like I'd just got out before them. And during the day? We watched Roswell and I did crap on the Internet - it was bad, of course it was, but I really don't feel guilty.
Last night, the snow wasn't as heavy but me and Chelsey went out in it and ran around taking pictures - I've added some to the gallery. I'm in my shiny pink pajamas, hehe. Then today when we realised we were free, we went out and built a snowman and made snow angels. It was freezing and the snow was really soft so didn't stick properly for the snowman's head but the end product was pretty good. Jake jumped in towards the end for the photos. This is completely random and not related to this morning or the weather conditions at all, but I've been listening to the good old war songs and also the awesome 'Old Home Guard' song from Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks - I never saw the point in it before but I'm becoming increasingly patriotic as I get older. Anyways, whether you're English or not please listen to these couple of songs and excuse the crappy videos:


Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler?
Old Home Guard


But there's something I really can't stand. I was listening to Rule Britannia on Youtube because it's a good song and a few Americans started bitching and moaning saying something about British egos and that the USA rule. Now, I think everyone should be proud of their country and I also believe that we should seriously get over this stupid: "My country is better than yours" thing. I mean - how ridiculous is that? People should be able to say "I'm English and I'm proud" or "I'm American and I'm proud" or "I'm Iraqi and I'm proud" and not have somebody else saying: "Oh, but they did this, this and this!" and "Yes, but we're better because we beat you in a war 200 years ago!" Please say it's not just me and that someone else can see my point, we need to get over this stupid competition thing. I sometimes can't stand the world for such a petty, annoying way of looking at things. In short, grow up.
