The Way I See It #1

Hello world!

Welcome to my brand-new blog. I've been blogging for about five years, and I don't think I'm addicted, yet...

I love starting new things and big empty spaces waiting to be filled with words. That's what keeps me buying new journals when I haven't half finished with the old ones- I bet you know exactly what I mean.

In case you were wondering, the title of this post is indeed a direct copy-cat reference to the quotes on the sides of Starbucks cups. Although I was kidding about not being addicted to blogging, I really seriously am not addicted to Starbucks- he and I have always just been good friends. Those who insist on insinuating that it is more than that may know, once and for all, that the feelings I have for Seattle's greatest coffee are quite under control. Do not allow this reference to our once blossoming relationship fool you!

Okay. So one of my goals in this new blog is to use pictures. I am not a picture person, I am a words person, but I love reading blogs with pictures. So, here it goes. This is me:

Except normally I wear t-shirts and jeans. I have a deeply complicated love-hate relationship with dressing up. It's always fun at first, and I love accesories (leg warmers, bracelets, headbands) and skirts, but it all gets uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

This is my family:


We are all squashed into a phone booth here. We get along fine most of the time. Also, we have parents not shown here. You can only fit so many people into a phone booth.

Last but certainly not least, this is my closet:


What? I think it's a perfectly logical next-step in introducing you to the many fascets of my oh-so-exciting life. As you can see, I have a spectacular closet that enables me and all of my stuffed animals to see our reflections in it from the end of my bed. Also, I'm quite proud of how organized it is at this time... I'm never quite sure how I feel about my old archenemy Cleaning, so any cooperation between us is worthy of some note. (You may have noticed by now that my life is quite a soap-opera of complicated relationships.)

Alright. I will continue to tell you about the things that make up my world as time goes on.

For now,

I remain,

Yours faithfully,

Emily.

  1. Emily Watts, you are my twin. you are. I swear. We were separated at birth and the whole thing has been quietly covered up.

    I totally agree about dressing up. I love it, but then half way through the day I'm like, this is soooo inconvenient! and then I usually change into jeans. But you look ADORABLE in that picture. Just saying.

    I think Anna started something with the new blog and pictures. We'll see if I feel impelled to give into peer pressure and follow. :) JK but I think it's cool.

  2. Nice post!! I love the picture of you all in the phone booth - I guess I love pictures in general, which, of course, you have noticed from our family blog!

    I hope you and Starbucks work it out. . .

  3. Yay! Thanks guys. For a couple days I've been thinking, boy, I guess no one likes my new blog... and then suddenly I realized I hadn't set up the comments to come to my email yet, haha. :-D

    Yes, Kacy, we must have been seperated at birth. The fact that you are teeny tiny and I am like seven feet tall has nothing to do with it. :-P

  4. Don't worry, it seems that all the people in life who seem to be my identical twin (I know two others besides you) are really tall. and I'm.....vertically challenged. :)

    you know, genes and environment - you can get pretty different stuff. ;)
