About
My name is Emily and I was born on Friday the 13th exactly two minutes after my brother. I was born and raised in Boston, MA and I loved it. Every Sunday morning my dad would take us downtown for breakfast while my mother slept and we got to see the street performers and eat gooey cinnamon buns.
When I was seven, I discovered the love that is writing. I wrote my first story at that age and of course it’s crap now but to a seven-year-old, it was solid gold. I didn’t write fairy tales or love stories, I wrote thrillers and scary stories, stories that would make my friends shudder. Of course a scary story to a seven-year-old is when a bully picks on you. But my love for writing never ceased and it’s something I aspire to do today.
When I got into high school, I started studying music seriously. I took singing lessons and piano lessons and taught myself how to play the guitar. When I started college, I was studying to be a musician. Then, for personal reasons, music wasn’t fun anymore so I stopped. I switched to my other love, writing, and in 2008, I graduated college with a degree in English Literature. I still sometimes wish that I played but I know that I’ll never play in front of a crowd again. Not even my friends.
I have a small set of friends whom I adore with everything I have. I met two of my best friends over the internet back in 2001(ish) and since then we have met up in person numerous times. I even flew out to Illinois in June 2008 to be a maid of honor in one’s wedding. I have a few friends here but it seems that I rarely get together with them. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that we’re all so busy that it’s hard to coordinate our schedules.
I like being alone and I’m very independent. I don’t need a boyfriend to feel happy and I don’t need love to feel like I’m accomplishing something. What I do defines who I am, not who I’m with. Some people like to think I’m lonely because of this but in fact, I am not. Being alone and being lonely are two entirely different matters, one is by choice and the other isn’t. I’m alone by choice. I like children but don’t think I’ll ever have any of my own. I like men but don’t think I’ll ever get married. At this point in my life, I don’t want to deal with the crap that relationships bring. I’m tired of it.
I have a few different jobs when it comes to a career. I don’t have an established career yet but I’m working on it. I currently work in the theatre industry and I love it. I stage manage with a professional company and I’m their office manager as well. Theatre is another area I studied in school and a part of my degree is theatre as well.
