do you like to go to museums? yes - especially when I have unlimited time, because then I can look at things in detail and get excited over stupid little things.
Do you like roller coasters? yes, especially with Hilarie and Abby and Stacy while skipping out on awards :) man those were good days
How do you eat bananas? regular like - peel it, take a bite..... hahaha, I feel dumb, but I guess I use them in banana bread too, and in smoothies
What kind of soap do you use? - lever 2000 is my favorite, it doesn't leave a scum, or leave me feeling slimy still
Have you ever been in a car accident? - unfortunately, the first one I remember I was hanging upside down and finishing singing "I am a child of God" with my Mom on our way to Canada. Another one I remember.... well, it wasn't an accident but being pulled over was with Joanna and Doug coming home from Canada one year, another was while my Mom and I were in Georgia with Joanna and Doug going to the airport, it was weird, memories, wow. The one in Montana with Abby was pretty funny too, along with the bird that I hit on that drive home.... do flat tires count as an 'accident': if so I remember getting my first flat tire, I was driving a student driver's vehicle from the school first thing in the morning and we were on Wasatch and poof, got a flat tire, but wait that isn't the only one of those that I have been in the vehicle when it happened. One with Mason coming home from Timp caves Homecoming date, and another in Joey's car on our way home from listening to General Conference together. And I guess the REAL question that you were asking was any accidents that I have been in that have been my 'fault' and I guess there was one, but I don't think that it should really count because I was going less than 15 mph, but it was snowing and I was turning and was on the phone to Joey coming home from a Madrigal reunion thing, and went over a fire hydrant..... oops. And I guess I got a ticket for it so technically it counts, so there you go.
What is your favorite color? pink. baby pink. it is so precious
Do you have any scars? - can I COUNT how many I have, oh so many. scars from my sister and I scratching each other when we were little, scars from falling, from picking, from chicken pox that never go away - ever. yes, but that is alright, I like looking at my pie and africa
Did you always dream of going to BYU? - I never really dreamed of going anywhere, but I am glad that I have ended up here. It is trying me and is good for me. I've met amazing roommates that I otherwise would never have known. It is good.
Do have any pet peeves? - LITTERING. It is disgusting and wrong and I despise it. That would probably be my number one thing, I also don't really like when you push down the wrong bubble thing on the lids of drinks - it is silly I know but I don't really like the inconsistency. What else... well, I don't like it when my room is messy - messy with my own stuff, that is bothersome because I should just fix it

title
title: what is a title - is it something the defines what is to come, or is it something on its own, a distinct entity by itself that gives its own message?
I was thinking about this as I came to my blog tonight to see if anyone had commented on what I had to say, and realized that most of the time when I write on here I am just commenting on the events that have recently occurred, and I rarely share my actual emotions, on how I see life, how events look to me. Yet my blog is titled "life through the eyes of Emily"
Does this mean that I am a poor writer or that my reservation is how I see life, or is it a completely different thought?
I think I have played a trick on myself because I do not know the answer, and I am the author - maybe now I'll qualify to be a modern artist (jab)

A Good Season
Well I am really glad that I did this. A chance to get out and move, something to break up the monotony, a great way to find new and amazing friends.
GO DESMONDATORS!
