Ramblings, Dreams, Dad, and Zero Exciting Pictures to Provide Visual Interest

     So maybe I've just now noticed, but it seems like blogs are the it thing these days. Did this just start or have I been missing out? Also, everyone but me posts tons of pictures. I feel like I should step up the visual aspect of my sad little blog. ALSO, I have a new random follower. Kelli I believe... Hello Kelli. I don't know you but I think its neat that you're interested in my life. I hope that you are not a government agent sent to spy on me report my actions to the uprising communist party.
     I haven't updated in a while. I'm really worried that this blog is beginning to become something of a chore. I think this stems from the feeling that everything I say must be well thought out and slightly profound. Or light hearted and highly entertaining. However, I have reminded myself that this just won't happen with every blog I right. I'm not that important, or that funny so I'm just going to blog whenever I darn well feel like it, and it way very well be an entire page of rambling that no one cares about including me. So followers be warned. Keep your hopes and expectations low to the ground least they be shot down.
     I read an article on travel writing this weekend that says to keep readers interested, it is wise to write in short paragraphs. What do you think? Did anyone put up with this silliness long enough to still be reading?
     But yeah, travel writing. That's an interesting thing I could talk about. I think it's neat for sure. For the past few years I've entertained the possibility of attempting some sort of travel series in the future. Having traveled a little bit I've been kind of frustrated and overwhelmed with the travel guides that are out there. They give incredibly overwhelming amounts of detailed information about EVERYTHING. It's too much for me really. My friend Miles and I came up with this awesome idea on our Peru trip. We talked about making a series of travel books called "ME Vacations" (get it? Miles and Emily? Me? clever right?). What we'd do is go on awesome vacations and document them really well. They'd have to be exploratory kind of backpacking vacations that steer fairly clear of the beaten tourist track. We'd discover all sorts of unique and culturally stimulating things to do, and then come home and write about it! There would be pictures of miles and I (only I would have a really hot girl pretending to be me... volunteers) chilling with groups of smiling children, climbing mountains, eating in tiny home restaurants, talking to the super sweet old woman who sells cinnamon tamales on the street, and tons of other interesting and new things. So basically we'd tell people about our awesome trips so they would know what to look for and what to avoid. THEN after we become fabulously rich and famous, people would know us by name and it would become a big deal to go have a ME Vacation. They'd say things like "this is the same tree branch that hot fake Emily sat on!" Yeah. So that's my dream. Poor Miles probably hasn't thought twice about that conversation. But unless I get married soon he's been sucked into my vision and will have to deal with it. As sad as this is to say and as much as it hurts my pride, it really is tough traveling alone as a woman these days. I need a man wall to shield me from all the would-be husbands who would like to woo me all for a visa to the States. So yeah, cool idea right? So much for my short paragraphs....
      Part of the reason I've been thinking about this is because I may be working as an International Journalist soon! I've been waaaaiiiiiting and waaaaiiiiiting to hear back if I got the job. My darn sister got her job offer yeserday, and now its my turn dang it! They told me to expect a call in 3 weeks, and they've got 5 days left. I is nervous!!! Ready to just know. I'm done with all this uncertainty. Yuckers!
      Also, things are not better with my father. They are worse. I am frustrated and upset. AND I agree whole heartedly with Jill's last post which talked about all of our towers falling to attacks from the Devil. It's not just towers tho. It's all sorts of people. What's the dealio? And how can I fight back for the people I love who are floundering or have fallen? I talked to my mom about my dad finally, and told her how I feel and about my concerns for him. She says be supportive and love and pray. Blah. So true but so not what I want to hear. Also people, I don't know if I should leave up that blog about my dad and Gabbie. Is it too much? I still feel the same, and I don't think I was disrespectful, but at the same time this is just his time of struggle right? I wouldn't want my sins and struggles posted on the internet. But he DESERVES it!! What should I do? On or off?
