Day 9- A list of my favourite.....

Well, the two pages I have bookmarked with the list for the 50 day challenge says two different things, either
1, a list of your favourite facebook fan pages, or 2, a list of your favourite tumblrs.
I don't use tumblr and I don't use fan pages soo.... a list of what today??

My favourite books? Movies? Artists? hmm.....how about just a list of my favourite websites
Well theres the obvious thats always open, facebook and hotmail, I like to know what my friends are doing, and I like to see if anyones has emailed me.
I always have ebay open to, I often have something up for sale and it's exciting to check how many watchers, viewers and bids there are, I love making money, and most things I sell have been bought off a carboot for next to nothing and sold on for a profit. I am also a massive shopoholic so I pretty much always have something I am watching which I may like to purchase.
Another little gem of a webiste is hotukdeals.com I go through phases of what part interests me the most, at the moment it's the misc section, just like a general forum, where people ask random questions, post silly jokes or videos etc. It also has a for sale/trade section, but it is there mostly for the deals section. If you want to find something for a good price, you'll find it on there, from tea n coffee, to tvs, cars, mortgages and phone contracts, when people see something for a good price, they'll let you know on the deals, no need to shop around as everyone else has done it for you. I always check there before buying anything costly as it can save me a packet!
And finally my recent always open website is deviantart. I am a deviant myself, it's a great place for posting bits of drawings, and looking at others for ideas, there groups you can join to keep you motivated and it can be great for networking. You can find me here and here. The second page has nothing on it as yet as I have only just opened it. When my degree is finally over I will be putting all my best work on there.

Anyway, theres my most heavily used pages, not a thrilling post for today, but a post all the same.

Day 8-A recent photo of myself

Well I think this is one of my fave pictures of me thats has been taken recently. This was taken at my friends birthday party, which had a burlesque theme. I had on a black corset, a frilly skirt, fishnets and a purply-red tailcoat. I love tailcoats, I have 3! There was a big buildup to this party, I love to dress up, and I always put in loads of effort. I enjoyed myself here, it was a good night.

Day 7-My favourite youtube vid

I have a couple of these. One in particular makes me laugh out loud everytime I see it, the first time I saw it I nearly fell off the table. I think the only person who hasn't found funny is my dad, which is surprising.

The second one is just the cutest video ever, I have to have a cat like this, but ginger, a big fat, stocky ginger cat called garfield who does silly things just like this one :) check out his other vids, Maru is pretty famous u know.

I hope you appreciate them as much as me

Day 6-A list of what you ate today

Well today isn't quite over, but with it being about quarter past 11, i'm hoping I won't feel the urge to eat much more

My day began (at about 11:30) with a fried egg on a toasted bun(one half, so its open, not a sandwich). Got to have a soft yolk, which is broken with a knife and mixed with a good squirt of red sauce. I always cut off about a third of my bread, cut round the yolk and make a yolk sandwich to finish the meal with as it's the best part.
I did munch on sum hot paprika and smokey bacon pringles not long after with a nice cup of coffee, not a great idea, felt very ill after that.
After recovering I had a mint ice-cream, it is a nice sunny day after all.
Late lunch was the other half of my bun, toasted with butter and cathedral city smokey cheese spread.
One or two cups of tea
Tea was an odd one, I'd taken some chicken out the freezer, so I cut it into chunks and fried it off, with pittas and salad needing to be used I figured we would have a chicken pitta with salad, but the sauce I made was too much, so it was all abit wet. Tasty though, tinned tomms, garlic, cream cheese, lea&perrins, salt and pepper and a dallop of bbq sauce. I served it with a pitta each, lettuce, pickled onions, beetroot and potato salad. was actually all really yummy.
I may have had some more pringles after tea
Thats everything I've eaten so far, I know I'm going to go bed shortly and have somesort of chocolate with a brew while I watch something. I can't help it. But after friday I'm giving up chocolate and crisps, I did it for lent, I'll do it again. Oh and I gave up biscuits since monday, sweets will be next. This week I am eating whatever the hell I want, as of saturday, it'll all be gone.

Day 5-A picture/letter to your crush??

I have the '50 day challenge list' bookmarked from a few different places, and some of the questions vary slightly depending on which website they are hosted on. This is one of them, some say letter, some say photo. I think I'll start with a letter and see how I get on.

Dear Secret Crush
    I am a simple being who is swept away by the simple things in life. An innocent compliment, question or smile is all it takes to stir the butterflies in my stomach. I am amazed how oblivious you are to my obvious reactions, my heart races so fast the whole world should be able to hear it, and yet you stand next to me, in that friendly kind of way, and kindly do nothing, just smile...
   I shouldn't be attracted to you, you aren't my type, but theres something exciting and wrong about you that makes me think you would be good for me. I do not know you well, I've seen you maybe...a handful of times, but I feel like I know exactly how being with you would be like. I imagine everything would be turned upside-down with spontinaety, mischief and fun, but I would feel like I was really starting to live, like I had finally been set free from all my current confinements and I can really feel again.
   I know that if you read this, and it wasn't handed to you by me, that you would have no idea who I am, I have never made myself known to you, we don't share anything apart from precious moments, and because of this I shall carry on only drifting around wishing I had some sort of courage to let you know how I feel. I am just a ghost that wonders through the halls of one miniscule part of your life and I just hope that I have left somesort of imprint to show that I was there, and existed, for a short time.
   I would hope that if you did read this it would inspire you to smile often, and smile well, with your whole being. You have an amazing smile, it's what attracted me to you in the first place, and it may just be the thing that gives me the confidence to share my thoughts with you, and if nothing else, feel satisfied that I didn't play out the rest of my life never knowing if you maybe, just possibly, felt the same.


I don't think I want to include a photo, I never know what would be appropriate. If you were trying for the advances of somebody, you would hope that they will love you exactly how you are, not how well you can edit yourself. I feel like I would want to spend ages making sure my hair and complexion were perfect, that I was wearing something flattering and that the lighting was perfect to enhance all my features, yet that isn't who I really am, so I would be sending a farse, and who wants to start a relationship on fallacy? Something so important should be easy, true, happy and natural, not contrived, hard work and designed.

Day 4-A photo of me taken over 10 years ago

Well I'm not really sure how old I was in this photo, about 4, maybe 3? So that would make it over 20 years ago! I'm the one one the right, with my mums friends daughter. Obviously around this time it was fashionable to have the most horrible looking couches. Aww I look so innocent.

Its funny, I always thought I looked alot different now than I did as a kid, looking at photos of me now, I look exactly the same, just older(and paler I think), I'm even back to being blonde at present, although I prefer ashy tones to the nice golden locks I had in the picture above.

Day 3-What is your favourite movie?

Hmm, this is a difficult question, I have many, not sure I could pin one down.

Firstly I am obsessed with Harry Potter, so much so I have a death-eater tattoo on my left forearm, designed it myself so it isn't the official dark mark, I didn't personally like the one they used in the films. Anyway, I love all the films, but the books are better....

I also love the Pirates of the Carribean movies,I am very excited that theres a new one coming out soon, and there is plans for a 5th.

And I do have quite a thing for Wall-e, the cutest robot ever!!

Day 2- Make a bulleted list of everything that happened in your day

Day 2 was yesterday, however, I couldn't make a bulleted list of everything that happened in my day before it had ended, I just hope I remember everything.

• woken early by mum, bowt 7:45 to go to the carboots, she very nicely made me a cup of tea, she mustav forget me saying I like to have coffee first thing now.
• got to the carboot in kirkham by around 8:30
• bought 2 vintage dresses, yummy. £1.50 each, I'll have some of that.
• went to a closer carboot on the way home (carboot obsessed). bought nothing at all
• nipped to the posh shop in poulton, spent £70 on an amazing jacket and unusual top
• visited my sister to drop off some things we bought for my niece
• swung by the 3rd best chippy in Britain, seniors for haddock, chips and mushy peas for lunch, just after midday
• went home to eat it with red sauce, yum yum
• curled up on the chair at home, full to the brim, to watch supersize v superskinny
• nipped out to put nanas lottery on, she died a month ago, but want to keep doing them for her, maybe she'll smile down on us and make her numbers lucky. Bless you nana, love you
• came home to stuff myself full of chocky biccies and roses, gave up chocolate for lent, need to catch up.
• Britains got talent started at 8 so had to watch that, not so many numpties as usual, which is dissappointing.
• 10:00 tea, not healthy, but wasn't up for it earlier, dug a flat garlic bread out the freezer, loaded it with sweetcorn, leftover pepperoni, and lots of cheese, was really yummy.
• Michale mcintyre on the comedy roadshow at 11ish, love him!
• Time for beds around midnight, got to have a hot chocolate, and take my laptop so I can watch something, last night it was some Jericho, mustn't stay up late as gonna be up at 7 in the morn.

A day in the life of me, quite a simple being.....

50 day challenge : Day 1-Introduce yourself

Hi, my name is Emer and welcome to my blog. I set this up initially to sit along side my FMP for my graphic design degree, however I have only 10 days left to go until deadline and just remembered to come back to here, so too little to late really, but will have a go regardless. I am also going to combine this with the 50 day challenge I stumbled across on facebook, this will sit nicely with my project as it is about showing how people are more than they seem, or more than you know. Day one of the 50 day challenge is to introduce yourself; my name is Emer, I am 25, I have no kids and no intentions to. I live with my dad and two Lhaso Apso dogs.

My first piece for FMP is to introduce myself as a graphic designer, the initial thing we are judged upon in college. The aim here is to show that I am more than I am initially judged to be.........don't judge a book by its cover. The poster above is unfinished, I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Will repost again when it's done.
