memorialrainbowLast night when I was eating dinner with my family, my grandparents pulled out an old letter, written on a typewriter, from 1969. A "record" of something that had happened that my great-grandpa had written. It finally made sense to me, where my writing came from.
And I wanted to share my life with others in the same way.
Welcome to Memorial Rainbow.
So who am I? My name's Emily. That's putting things simply enough, I guess. I won't try to give out my last name on here, but I'm sure you'll hear it eventually. Then you'll all be like "hey, I know that girl!" when I make it big. (If I make it big.)
There are some things I'll be careful about talking about, like:
Where I'm from: All I'll say is that I recently graduated from Miami University (in Ohio, not Florida!)
My parents: I love them, but they don't get me. I won't try to bash them in my journal, but there will be some days where "they don't get me" will be the only thing on my mind.
My current crush: I seem to go through guys pretty quickly. The one I like right now probably doesn't even know I like him (if you think it's you, you're probably wrong!). Don't be surprised if I go through several guys in this blog. I think the issue stems from a core lie of mine.
My other LJ: Yes, I have a private LJ. No, do not ask where to find it.
But there are other things I want to talk a lot about. I'll try to write in here at least once a week.
I do have a friendslocked journal somewhere. But this journal is more for me and just my own stuff. Anybody can read it. Anybody can become my friend!
One more thing: why LiveJournal? Because it's awesome. And because I've been a part of it since 2004, but my parents deleted my old journal because it wasn't to their liking. They were right about a lot of things, but I'm finding they were wrong about others.
I think this journal, most importantly, is me figuring out how to be myself, instead of putting myself down like I have for years and years, instead of trying to mold myself to fit somebody else's image, and I want to take you all along for the ride. Because, despite being myself, I still love people.
And I wanted to share my life with others in the same way.
