Who am I? WHO am I?!?

That was supposed to by Mushu from Mulan.. Anyway, I figured I can't just make a vague, uninformative post without really telling you who I am. As I stated my name is Emilie, I'm the proud owner of 17 animals. Fear not, 13 of them are fish. I own a 29 gallon fish aquarium but they absolutely terrify me. They're beautiful to look at but I had one jump and I panicked, froze. I don't want to touch them, I don't want to touch them. As indifferent and nonchalant as I made that sound the jump had a big impact on me...I even wrote a poem about it. Keep reading for the poem!!! (See what I did, that's called tactic..)

Anyway, the remaining animals are cats and I love them. Fiona, Finnegan and Annabelle. Here's a snap of Finnegan and I. I found my orange fluff-ball about a year ago in a parking long, at four months. The vet concluded his mother and remainder of his litter were killed by dogs, as evidence by the dog bite that afflicted his rear leg. Nevertheless Finn has recovered and is as lovely as ever!

He's basically the greatest cat I could possibly ask for.

I live in my own world, which is a suburb of a North Carolina city. I like to write and read and bake things. I really, really want to claim I have a green thumb but that is a lie, I have neither the patience or the materials needed to make a beautiful garden, instead I'll admire my neighbors' gardens.

I am currently not in college, though I should be. When I tell people they seem to think I'm some sort of idiot or loser..I mean I might be..it's pretty stupid to forego college, but it's not forever. I do plan on enrolling sometime soon to earn a degree in elementary education, and in my classroom I'll have a fish tank and if a fish dies one of the students will remove it because I can't.

I could waste your time talking all about my fish and naming them but I'll name my favorite..Fatty, Fatty is a Gourami and a 'Walmart Survivor' she was a lovely Walmart fish and a gift...along with three other fish who were sadly DOA. Fatty has been going five months strong now and she eats like crazy and I would definitely cry if she died.

I guess like anyone I enjoy doing silly things and looking silly and not wanting to deal with the repercussions of my actions or deal with the responsibility of the looming future. Instead I spent hours creating what I called 'Equestriationary', a mouth-full I know that was probably my folly, it was a combination of equestrian and stationary..basically envelopes with horses. I listed them on Etsy and no one bought them so that was that...I'll probably give them to..relatives or something..



That's me in Sepia because arguably everyone looks happier in sepia.
Well that's all for now! Please don't forget to do my completely irrelevant poll at the bottom!!

Until next time,

Emilie
