Hello. I'm Emma. 20. I live in the reasonably unexciting east of Scotland, where summer has decided not to visit again this year. But that's ok. I like the cold =]
I like 80's movies. I have never seen any Star Wars film. I'm a massive book nerd, a huge Harry Potter geek, I like staying up late, sleeping even later and my greatest achievement to date is being voted Clumsiest Person 2008.
So yeah, that's me. Nerdy, geeky, clumsy =D

Chad Sugg | Ellie (DEMO Clip)
I thought I’d share a clip of a song I’m in the middle of writing for my debut EP that’s coming out in February. For this song, I wanted to write something the was just simple, and “prettier” than anything I had every really written before… Hence why this is the first time I’ve really used strings in a chorus.
(Please note, this is a DEMO clip, so 1) the song could change in parts and 2) my voice is not meant to sound perfect in this because it’s simply to convey the lyrics and melody).
I’d love to hear what you all think :)
Ahh really like it!

Everybody Wants Somebody - Patrick Stump
I received Patrick Stump’s solo album, Soul Punk, for my 21st last weekend (one of many wonderful presents; I was too spoiled. But hey, you’re only 21 once right?) and this song stood out from the first listen. I think it’s the horn intro. I love an intro-horn, me. (I think it stems from my love of Sammy Davis Jnrs “That Old Black Magic” that intro is great)
So for my return to Tumblr, listen and love. And turn your ears to the whole album, it’s very good. Especially Run Dry (X Hearts X Fingers)!

I went white water rafting the other week for my dad’s 70th birthday. It was brilliant fun, and the river was especially wild as we had had heavy, heavy rain all week leading up to it.
I’m considering doing it again for my 21st, but on the River Tummel (We did the River Tay before) which is apparently over 18s and prettty mental. So if anyone wants to join me, you better start shaping up now as those wetsuits are far from flattering!

Hello, old friend
I always have long absences from Tumblr, in which a multitiude of things happen that are worthy blogging material. But as I have returned to the working world, and the world of a commuter-at-ungodly-hours, I have neglected the internet and Tumblr.
But I figured that since I have to be online to prep for my radio show on Tuesday (leaving it to the last minute AGAIN. Winging it live on air is beginning to become my signature thing), I may as well come here and post a wee something. But a quick something. Its 9.05pm and as part of my new rock n roll lifestyle, I’m in bed by 10ish every night to be up 5.50am most mornings. Hi ho, hi ho, it’s the quiet life for me.
So what’s been happening? Well, I have a great new job, (well, as new as 2 months is) in St Andrews, where my communication skills and clumsy nature are being put to the test every day. So many tourists! I have to learn to use proper English and try and not be too….Fife. And so many breakables! It’s primarily a glass and china shop and I’m primarily a walking buffoon. But so far nothing too serious has been broken. Touch wood.
I do get a lovely commute though, throught the Fife countryside, and the wee villages up St Andrews way, all the wildlife, deer, sheep, headbanging Highland cows. And most of them are alive. Much, much nicer than the scabby A92 I used to see everyday going to Dunfermline and back, with the Environmental Service scraping dead pheasants and Bambi’s off the road.
So that’s the job front. I spose that’s all, really. I work most days, getting up at the crack of dawn for the bus, never seeing darkness. It really is the quiet life. And I’m liking it.
Next week though, I’m going to a midnight screeing of the new Harry Potter after working all day. Im going to go home, sleep for a few hours, get up to see the film, which finishes at half 2, then go back to bed just to get up again in 3 hours later for work again. I will be the walking dead.
BUT I DONT CARE. It’s the last one. If I have to sell my sister to see it, I so would, so sacrificing one precious night’s sleep is nothing, NOTHING.
So that’s the last wee while in a nutshell. Remind me to tell you of the time some drunken lassie wandered into our house at 2.30am and woke up half the street in the process. And the time I had to disembark the bus via the emergency exit, with my arse in the bus drivers face. Or the time there was that crazy pirate in the bushes in St Andrews.
Never a dull moment.
Until next time!

O Children - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
I’ve had this on repeat all evening (this, and Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way)
June182011
I don’t think I have ever been more excited about anything than I am about the last Harry Potter film.
I’m feeling as though I will actually combust when I see it.
I wouldn’t sit next to me in the cinema, you will prolly be whacked by my flailing Animal-esque arms everytime I…….breathe or something.
Oh my god.
Huge nerd. And reaaally not caring.
I. CAN’T. WAIT
