Welcome To The Hellmouth
Opened: August 8, 2008
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.

I never really finished my last blog, not that it matters because this one is far more important. I have so much I want to say, it's very hard to stop it from all bursting out at once. Let me just start with: I am so very excited. About the future, about life, about everything. However, this is never good, because it always means something bad will probably happen any minute. Oh, but I'm not going to dwell on any bad things because... well, things look too good. You see, I was always worried about the future and how I might spend my whole life working hard at University and trying to earn enough money to do what I want - which is to travel - and waste my life never actually living the life I want.
But I had this amazing plan and my Mum has even agreed to it. My Grandad always said that he would save up and cover my University tuition, but then I knew I'd still have to work for years before I got enough money to go travelling all over. So, the plan is that I get a loan for University fees and go to wherever, hopefully to study PPE, and when I come out I take a year off and use the money that my Grandad has saved to go travelling - knowing the prices of University fees that'll be more than enough! It's amazing, with nothing sacrificed. It'll be fantastic, alone in the big world, living by chance and all that crap - I can't wait. I've been on roundtheworld.com already and checked out flight prices. For slightly over £2000 I can get a flight from London to Los Angeles, then to Rio De Janeiro, then to Sydney in Australia, then to Tokyo and finally back to London. Obviously not all in one go as that would be pretty pointless. Maybe I really will live by chance. Since reading 'Dice Man' by Luke Rhinehart and even more after watching 'The Dark Knight', I keep thinking how awesome it would be to flip a coin on your future, to have that utmost, wonderous flexibility... to take chances as they come. I'm also going to earn some extra money by hopefully getting a job. I've already applied for Adsense by Google, which I hope works out because you can end up earning a fair bit if you pull in the visitors.
Alrighty then, let's take a trip back to the more present time. I'm beginning my travel urges now, in this very half term. After reading Bill Bryson's 'Notes From A Small Island', I realised just how little of my home country I had seen, and even less I had appreciated. I want to begin by visiting some Cathedrals (quite seriously), especially Salisbury with it's tallest Spire in... either Europe or the world - I'm not sure, or York Minster with all its history, or even Durham because Bill Bryson says it is completely understated and equally as beautiful as York's. And next time I visit London, I want loads of pictures of me outside Buckingham Palace, me stood next to the soldiers, me on the London Eye and, of course, me peering out of red phone boxes. I can't believe how ignorant I've been for so long of the world around me... how many times I've been on holiday to these amazing places and never even really taken a good look at them. This is a new Emily being born... a cultured Emily.
And I'm going to have to mention this no matter how much I try to suppress it: I saw the Dragonball trailer and
James Marsters playing Piccolo. Haha, he was green and I still love him!! Anyway, I made Jack promise to take me when it starts showing. I never cared much for the cartoon but I need to see this... and I also found that James has another concert on May 3rd... as if one wasn't enough to feed my obsession!!! And I've just realised that I completely forgot to say some things earlier. First: the blog title - well, it's an annoyingly catchy song and it kinda felt right for expressing my mood. Second, I'm going to write a book whilst away on my travels called 'Dear England: Postcards From Abroad'. Third, I want 'Amazing Grace' played at my funeral, but it must be a capella. Last, commenting is up and running: YAY!!!
Final Thing - Question Time:
What is your favourite place that you have visited?
If you could go anywhere in the World, where would you most like to go (3 places Max.)?
How happy are you with where you live?
