Merry Christmas

I'm a bit late, but Merry Christmas. I've been busy hanging out with family and taking numerous naps, while in between talking to that special person in my life. He's in New York right now (which is not where I am) and I miss him more than I thought was possible to miss a person. He doesn't come back until the end of the week, so bare with me if I seem whiny while he's gone. I did have a good Christmas, though, honest.

Christmas has become all about the gifts lately, but it shouldn't be. On Christmas Eve, I was at my Aunt's house, and one of my closest cousins got proposed to. That is what Christmas is about, I believe. Not just the birth of Jesus (which is true, as I am a devote Christian and believe in that stuff), but about love and happiness and moving on. Christmas is the signaling of another year ending and one more beginning. Goodbye 2010, hello 2011. It's about being with family and making the best of what you have, whether you get five dollars or a car. It shouldn't matter. Christmas is made special by the people you are with, not the presents that you receive.

Happy New Year.

Music

Music is what keeps me sane on days like today. I won't go into much detail, but school three days before Christmas, and then work from 5 to close, and then homework and writing an essay is not what makes a fun day. I did, however, see a special person in my life who gave me a special Christmas necklace. I am very grateful, and seeing the necklace has put a smile on my face all day. I'd like to thank my special person.

I thought maybe, on the second post, it was time to get into a few of my interests. Music, obviously, is one of them. I personally dabble a bit in percussion, and want to learn guitar and piano, and write my own songs. Not because I want to be famous, but just because I want to. I think it'd be fun to do, and I'd enjoy it immensely. Now if I could just find the time...

I am and always will be a Harry Potter fanatic. I listen to songs by bands based off of Harry Potter. The Ministry of Magic, The Remus Lupins, Harry and the Potters, and the Womping Willows are just a few. Other 'nerdy' bands include ALL CAPS, Skyway Flyer, The Oceanic Six, or Mike Lombardo. Please take advantage of those people, plus all of the covers by Tyler Ward, Julia Sheer, and Alex Goot. There are many untapped sources of raw talent out there, my friends. Better than Lady Gaga any day (sorry if you like her, I'm not a fan).

Besides loving everything related to Harry Potter, and music, I am a writer. I did, after all, start a blog. I write, I read, and I enjoy some history from time to time. Chemistry is interesting, but I am not a huge science or math person. There really wasn't a point to this blog except for to talk about myself, I suppose. Sorry to be so selfish, but after all, how can you connect to a person you don't know?

Keep Dreaming
Emac

P.S. I got 12 hours of sleep last night. I was sick to my stomach. I'm still pretty sleepless (it is one in the morning. I have to be up in five hours for school on the day before Christmas Eve. Yay.)

Lunar Eclipse

The Lunar Eclipse was this morning, around 2:45 a.m. and I missed it.

It's okay though. I was sleeping, as a special person in my life wanted me to. The eclipse will come again if I'm fortunate enough to live to see the day.

This is my first blog post, so I suppose I should introduce myself. Hello, I'm EmAC. Pronounce it e-mac if you so please. Like e-mail and mac and cheese, two things that I love. It sounds like a male name, in a way, or a rapper name. I'm neither a guy nor a rapper--I'm a 16 year old girl. I'm a writer. And I'm a sleepless dreamer.

Nice to meet you.
