Me: Hi, my name Emily. I am a member of the University of Pittsburgh Varsity Marching Band (top left) and am an active member of the National Honorary Band Fraternity: Kappa Kappa Psi. I love Pitt Band, and also enjoy all the Pitt athletic competitions at which I get to perform and attend. I also have a kitten (top right) named Hemingway (due to her extra toes on each paw - Ernest Hemingway had a passion for polydactyl cats). I brought her home one day from the farm that I work at and have been her loving ADD owner ever since.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Hey Emily, if i may call you that, how intelligent would you say you are?
You may, indeed call me that, and well, I'd say I'm pretty averagely smart. Although...I think on occassion my parents dropped me on my head as a young child... or I could of just inherited the lower quality of traits from my mother's side of the family. Either way, I could probably beat you at scrabble any day of the week and I have a knack for finishing wordsearches in less than a minute
What do you look like, and where can I find you?
Well, i'm younger than old and taller than a midget. I have various bodily organs that help me to get through the day, and though you can't see them, I'd just like to thank them for being there when I need them most. Sometimes I can be found saving the world: people say I'm more powerful than a speeding building, faster than a locomotive, and able to leap speeding bullets in a single bound. lf you need to find me, you can always look in your local grocery stores' freezer section or at your neighborhood Ford dealership.........but I won't be there.
If you were president, what would you do?
I'd promptly assert my authority, of course. Anyone who disagreed with my opinions/actions would be force fed large quantities of jalepeno peppers that I'd import from mexico, without water. I'd make sure all donuts and cheese danishes were taste tested by me (especially the french glazed donuts) before being placed on store shelves. I guess in reality I'd turn my presidency into a fascist dictatorship in order to serve only myself, but that's really beside the point. My first act of presidency would be to call up Bill Gates and invite him fishing with me. My second act as president would be to invite you all to the White House for The Best Party Everâ„¢. Queen would, of course, be playing the music.
If you had a million dollars and only one day to spend it, what would you do?
I'd probably...no, no...I'd definitely put a copyright on the acronyms "lol", "lmfao", and the phrase "omg i can't believe she said that". and further-more, I'd charge everyone who used the previous phrases 1 penny. I'd bribe out the governemt to make this legal, because well, everyone knows money talks. After that, the people who used these terms would soon die off due to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. Then the world would be ridden from these horrible acronyms. All in all, I guess you could say I'd make the world a better place, for everyone.
Oh, and I'd buy a lot of milk and ($1) 5 minute instant pudding packets. I've always wanted a pool of pudding.
If you could meet anyone ever, who would it be?
President John Adams would be kind of an interesting character to meet. I hear he used to go swimming stark naked in the Potomac River. I'd also like to meet anyone who can juggle flaming chainsaws...that is a serious skill that deserves a high five or two. Oh and last one, I promise! I'd like to meet the inventor of silly puddy. You. Rock.
