I Did It!

OKAY. Finally. It took me an embarrassingly long time to do all this, but you know what, for a first-time newbie at anything coding-related, or blog-related, I think I did ok!!! I remember wanting to make my own blog many years ago, clicking on "blogger," and seeing all the intimidating blank space and immediately exiting out. I thought it would be easy and I could just drag and drop images wherever the heck I wanted on the page, and make it all nice and pretty, but NO -- you cannot!!! 

So, anyways, whatever you're seeing is what I've attempted in the last couple of weeks. BUT -- I promise I'll likely be changing it up, and fixing things that don't work!!! It's going to take a long while to build up this website, but I hope it'll be fun :-). I've always been a "journalling" kinda girl: I've had a journal for almost every year of my life, whether its a physical book, or, lately, a series of rants on the notes app of my phone. Recently I was posting on Tumblr, treating it like I will this blog, but I didn't like the lack of control I had. I felt like no matter what, everyone could see what I was doing, and how I was doing it -- I don't know. Here, it's like a little space of my own. I can control who comments, or what kind of comments I get; I can do whatever I want really. So I like that! Maybe that makes me a  control-freak, or maybe just someone who wants to scrawl "emma waz here" on the park bench of the interwebz, I don't know. 

About Me!

Let me introduce myself!!! My name is Emma! And this is my blog! Here I plan on writing about everything. Most of it will be rants, and tons of it will be like my own virtual diary, but I'd like to share creative things too, hopefully. Most of all, I want this to be a space I can come back to in many years from now and shudder at all things past-me had been thinking and feeling. I also hope people visit! I don't believe I will get many visitors since blogs are a bit out-dated, SO IF YOU DO, YOU BETTER SIGN MY GUESTBOOK! SIGN IT!!

The Big Deal!

Okay. So this (the main blog), will be my diary! I don't know where else to make that clear. This is a LOT of text, sorry. I like to ramble. And the links up at the top are where I will "curate" my interests. I'd like to post lots of pictures of the sky and other pretty things, but alas, it is winter in this wretched country, and everything is grey. That's partly why my blog looks the way it does, it distracts me from how sad it is outside. But it's fine, because SOON (maybe even two months? Please, March???) I will be able to go on all my adventures and take lots of pics! 

I'm so tired, it's 11:25PM, and I have a three-hour lecture tomorrow. It's on an interesting topic (Art History something), but three-hours is kind of absurd. Oh, also, currently I'm a fourth year art student studying English! One day, I'd like to (maybe) be a librarian, but who knows. I'd just like to graduate at this point. Wish me luck :-) Good night!

← Oh my gosh, this is me at Niagara Falls using my mom's busted camera. This is so funny to me because I'm not even pointing at the actual falls, it's literally just the lake. I don't even think I thought it was the actual falls, I just didn't care because I've been there so many times. It was so cold that day, and the big salt-truck thingy drove by and GUNNED EVERYONE IN THE VICINITY DOWN, even the children. We we're literally pelted with big chunks of salt. I still have the stains on my boots to prove it.
