I am a descendant of the fallen and the merciless.
A split personality consistently at war.
Visually obsessed, I live for skyscraper heels and long lielashes.
I like dark, sexy things, black metal boys and pretty creatures.
"I'm a falling stone in a world of glass."
I fucking love kittens.
I am a cliché.

Do you know what would be cool?
Some conversation, I think.
I can’t believe how warm it is. I got a bit drunk last night so I feel kind of wobbly today, and really not in the sort of mood to go and die in the sunlight… I might burst into flames and whatnot.
Jokes aside, I went out yesterday without sun cream on wearing short shorts, and my house mate and I were just chilling in the garden in our sunglasses, she looked at my legs and laughed because they’re so pasty, took her sunglasses off and exclaimed. So I did the same… It turns out my legs are so white that they physically reflect the sun light and it hurts to look at them. The fuck.
I really don’t feel pretty lately. It’s hard to feel pretty with a disgusting jaw bone and a huge spot on your chin and being all gross and sticky in the heat. Blehh.
But no I seriously hate my jaw.
So.
I’m panicking a bit now, really.
I go home in two months… The date’s been set. I’m so excited to see my friends there, you have no idea, and if any of you are reading this, you cannot relate this to any of you at all. I miss you so much and I will be so overwhelmingly happy to see you all again <3.
…But I don’t want to go back to Sussex. I really, really don’t. I’m terrified - more so, in fact, than I was before I moved here in the first place.
I’ll be back into the tiny bedroom I once had in my parent’s house - it will be “my room”, but it won’t be my room. My room has long since changed and become my brother’s. It’ll be a room in my parent’s house that I’m living in until I get a job. As soon as I get a job, I intend to invade the Saunders’ residence as planned, which will probably make life much happier for me. It’s so hard to explain why this is going to be so hard for me. It’s not the people I’ve met up here - though I love and appreciate them very much, and it’s not the places - varied as they may be. It’s the feeling.
I stopped taking my anti-depressants in August, very suddenly (I know, I know, bad Emma). I’ve been without them for nearly 11 months now and I have changed. I am a new me, I have shaped and formed into someone stronger, free-er (is that even a word), with less inhibition. I’ve come out of my shell, I’ve broken out of depression and I am confident. I’m happy. I’m stressed, but I’m happy. I just feel like moving back to Sussex will be like climbing straight back into that cage with my wings clipped, you know? There’s nothing to do, nothing to see, nothing to experience that I haven’t already. It’s a box - a very small one at that.
My chances of finding a job down there will be much greater and for that I’m thankful, but I’ll be living with this… guilt, because as soon as I’m debt free, paid back everything I owe, I’ll be making two lots of savings. One smaller saving for treats, like tattoos or whatever, the other much larger. For a place of my own.
Not in Sussex.
I’ll not move away as far as I did this time, I know that, and I’ll not be making the same mistake (ie. moving before I actually have a job), but bottom line is that as soon as I can, I’ll be leaving again. It’s going to be a huge burden because I understand that it will come across like I’m just trying to escape the people I care about, which of course will never, ever be the case.
I’ve never quite experienced a feeling like this. After all the hardship, the trials, tribulations, stress and homesickness… The very thing I longed for most only a few short months ago has become the very thing I’m dreading.
I know I’ll be okay, I’ll ease back into it, but right now I can’t stop thinking and worrying and panicking about the fact that Lincoln has changed me for the better… what if all that goes to waste? What if I end up back where I was? I’m scared of feeling trapped again and then I’m scared of the connotations attached to my urge to break out again.
God, what a horrible, horrible thing this is. I really wanted to keep this to myself - I don’t want my friends to assume I’m trying to get out and away from them, because as I said I could never do such a thing. But I had to get it off my chest, so they know exactly how apprehensive I am about everything.
I want to type over and over again that I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to go home.
But realistically, I don’t have a choice.
Sometimes I wear lipstick and pretend I’m a lady.
(Also check out how gloriously long my nails are! I measured them >_> 2cm long!)
My face is such a fail in this, but here is me today with Mindy, the beautiful boa constrictor that decided she was going to be both my necklace and my headdress!
Dem reptiles love to spoil me. :3
I have many unrelated things to relate to one another.
Yesterday I had to run home from Dan’s and then back to the Job Centre (which is right near his house) because I’d forgotten my fucking booklet thing. I thought I was going to be late but I wasn’t so that’s cool. The guy I spoke to made a joke about forgetting what day it is, something we’ve all done. Then he said “Most mornings I woke up and I can’t even remember my name… but then I remember it’s not important anyway.” He meant it all in jest, but it really made me think about how realistically, our names really… don’t matter. Like, at all. They are a label and a means of identifying an individual but when it comes down to it, that’s really all they are.
How peculiar and sad.
Next, my house smells of Victoria sponge cake because my house mate who studies Marketing and Advertising is making her self promotion video for the end of year show. It’s about baking and the patience involved with getting it perfect - after getting egg shell in the mixture, or burning it, or forgetting the sugar, or making it so it caves in the middle, and so on and so forth. It’s a really cool idea and she’s made the kitchen artistically messy, with flour and eggs on the floor and stuff. I’m really fucking hungry and haven’t eaten all day, so as cool as that all is, oh my god I just want to get some food =[.
That brings me nicely to my main thoughts of today. Last night, or evening, I went to the Brewer to meet with a few friends. Had a few pints, got some pizza, went back to the Brewer because my mate was fucked on about 5 vodka and cokes o_o. Saw my friends Adam and Toma, and hung out with them for ages just talking about shit, when my house mate Lou appeared with her boyfriend, Lloyd. I was like “Oh, cool! Hi!” and we sat talking for ages, when she finally decided to tell me that she’d invited Callum. I was like eh, to be honest, this will do us both good. I’ll try making small talk, just to see how things are. The fucker outright ignored me, downed his drink as soon as he sat down, got up and went back to the bar. So, rather upset and insulted, I went back outside. I cried a little bit seeing him again, I won’t lie about that. Adam and Toma comforted me for a while but then I was just like eh, I’m leaving. So I went to Spoons to ask one of my friends behind the bar if anyone had been about, which they had, so I went to L4 to meet them, and then on to Sugar Cubes… I was absolutely and entirely fucked. All night. Leanne got the two of us into the strip club for shits and giggles, and all I can remember about it is that one of the bouncers knows her dad, so he bought us a shot each, and there was this really, really fat chick on the pole. It was awful. Funny, nonetheless! Then back to Cubes, drank even more, danced like a twat I expect, and then got walked home by another friend who bought me chips from Poppins to eat. I was useless at the walking part, and to link this post together nice and smoothly, you might say that I was so drunk I’d forgotten my own name.
I got home, and because I didn’t say anything to Lou before leaving she assumed I’d gone to Dan’s… Which I suppose is a fair enough assumption to make. I had originally invited Ben in for some tea, but I got in, and lo! In my living room there’s a Lou, a Lloyd, and… oh! A Callum! I told Ben he had to leave immediately because as soon as I saw him I flew into a blind rage and went upstairs, blasted music out (at 3am, before telling Sarah who is in the room below me that I didn’t give a shit that it had woken her up - I regret this, of course, and feel awful about that), rolled a cigarette, stormed downstairs and went out for a smoke, slamming the door behind me. Callum abruptly left, and Lou came outside because she knew what was wrong, so she just let me shout at her for ages. I cried my fucking eyes out and I guess I don’t even really know why, I can’t remember the last time I was that filled with absolute and utter rage. I guess it could have been the whole behind-the-back nature of it, or that Callum only came to our house twice during the entire six months I lived here that we were together, though obviously it’s more likely to be that “one does not simply get over a three year relationship”. Whatever it was, I felt a lot about it and had a lot of pent up frustration to let out, it seems.
I probably overreacted, but because of just quite how drunk I was (I don’t even think I can call it ‘drunk’… It’s like, there’s drunk, and then there was what I was), everything just seemed so much worse.
I paid for all the crying, shouting, and general drunkenness this morning, though.
I ended up with my head in the toilet for like an hour, lol, and I only properly got out of bed about half an hour ago. I still feel ropey as fuck which is why I need food. But alas, I cannot have food yet.
This has been a very long, very pointless update.
I made my eyes look rly big :3
Starting the day with Carach Angren’s ‘Lammendam’.
I’ve a few things to do today, mostly tidying… I need to stop letting my bedroom get into such a state, it’s far too small to be comfortable when there’s stuff everywhere.
Hopefully it won’t fuck my back up again - yesterday all I did was hoover downstairs and the upstairs hallway but the fucking thing put out and I was in agony T_T.
I’ll probably shower then. I’ve been thinking of ideas for pictures lately, too, since I keep saying I might take some but never do - mostly because I never feel inspired or pretty enough. However, I like my ideas so I’ll give them a go.
A visual indulgence for all!
…Or so I hope. Hah.
I am absolutely furious.
How dare you say that to me? Or anyone, in fact? What is it that you see in yourself that gives you the right to say such things to people who are obviously struggling, no matter what it is about?
I was feeling relatively stressed anyway about things I’m finding difficult to talk about, but fucking hell.
I’m now feeling completely vehement and would happily punch a hole through something with rage.
The fact that I’m this angry about it is ridiculous to be honest.
But UGH.
Me being a dick with my camera that hates taking pictures without flash, before and after dreadlocks.
Oh Lord.
So in June I’m attending a Game of Thrones themed bonfire party.
I’ve decided to shotgun Daenerys Targaryen because she’s by far my favourite character.
Thankfully I have until June to work out how exactly I’m going to do this…
I think I am going to have to find a very, very cheap, very, very blonde wig so I can just plait it all messy and pretend I’m blonde for the night >_>
Sewing/customisation projects:
- Fix my house mate’s work trousers
- Sew a button back onto a different house mate’s jeans
- Fix the button hole on a pair of my own jeans
- Take in my Dimmu Borgir strap top
- Take in my Way of Purity t-shirt
- Customise and take in my Sisters of Mercy t-shirt
- Turn my Behemoth t-shirt into a long, fitted vest top
- Attach spiked studs across the top of one of my bras
- Make a floor length skirt out of the green imitation velvet I have
- Take in my PVC skirt
- Make a short skirt out of leftover black imitation velvet
- Probably more things
This list is mostly here to remind me. I’m going to busy these next few weeks…
