I have let the idea of running a blog run around in my head so many times I don't even think I can count them anymore. I know lots of people who blog. I mean heck its such a normal thing in culture now its like asking what your last name is. Hello I am Emma Austin and my blog address is... Every time I think about writing a blog I wonder the same things what the heck will I write about? Who the hell wants to listen to my life any more than I already talk about it? and of course do I really have time to update and remember to check another site on my never ending lists of sites I can't remember now? You know I have tried blogging before well actually I have tried a lot of things before. I am one of those people who jumps head first into everything she thinks might be exciting and fun to try. Then the honeymoon phases where off and I either lose interest, or run out of time to do that project too. It then becomes a new addition to the pile of "Things I will pick up again one day," but recently I have been thinking about it way more than normal. My head is full of those movie voices of girls sitting at their kitchen table writing late into the night drinking tea and some awesome narrator saying in perfect English what they are thinking and of course they never have to hit delete or stop to think about what really needs to be said. I know I need a blog for my photography so I want to start that too but is it really safe to start my very first blog with things my clients will see or should I do a personal blog first? I am sure you figured out I am trying the personal blog first since you are basically about to read my dating profile. So here goes nothing..
I am 19 I live 12 hours from my family in Philadelphia. I grew up in this little bitty town called Converse, IN. I have 3 siblings and my parents are still married. I have a crazy dating history and one hell of a story of how I met my current girlfriend. She is from Indiana as well. We live in this efficiency apartment, If you have ever lived in an efficiency you know there is nothing efficient about a tiny one room apartment, in the basement of a house full of bigger apartments. I am in school for photography. I am really not sure that school is where I need to be but after my fiance' and I broke up over a year ago my parents said I needed to go to school. I had a full time job but when your parents keep asking you to go to school and are making you feel like you have screwed up your life already you just go on with it. so just over 11 months ago I picked up my 18 year old ass up and moved 12 hours from home and started a new job, have made new friends, and am attending school so I can get a bachelor's degree in something that I love.
I am a coffee addict and I can't decided if it is from the caffeine or the copious amounts of milk and sugar that go in my coffee. I have a huge addiction to sweets. That includes coffee, candy, fruit, sugar, well really anything really sugary. I try really hard to remember to work out but that is not really a thing I seem to remember in my life very often. I have so many emotions it's not even healthy. I can't watch a movie without crying. I mean cartoons, horror, chick flick, or humor. I always get attached to the characters and end up crying at some point or another. Books are not much better normally I end up in a complete balling heaving mess laying on my girlfriend's chest.
I work two jobs and take 20 credit hours in college. So no matter how many movie scenes I image in my head about long days blogging in the coffee shop that prolly won't happen. I run around from one thing to the next way too much and I don't have internet at home. I have a lack of follow through but we are working on that. Hopefully this is the start of new follow through.
I don't recommend holding your breath for that.
