http://modernemily.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Every time I see the full moon, it reminds me of Japan, cos I left Japan on a full moon. Oh Emily, how maudlin can you get? Yeah, I know. But it's true. Both the leaving and the remembering. Sunday, June 08, 2008. Aubrey: Car. BANANA! Both [after one second of silence]: Hahahahahahahaha! Really, they entertained us all. Thursday, June 05, 2008. My New New Job. Now ahahahaha. ha hah . aheh. I keep telling myself that this is a step up, because now I'm a specialist for a particula...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog: December 2009
http://modernemily.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Several months ago, I read somewhere (I wish I remembered where) that when one prefaces a statement of opinion with a qualifying statement meant to dissuade the listener from developing a poor view of the speaker in light of the opinion about to be uttered, it actually has the opposite effect. That didn't make sense, so I'll just explain it by example. If you say, "I don't mean to sound like a snob, but really? You shop at JCPenney? Any other plausible examples?

Thursday, March 13, 2008. A few weeks ago I scored a full-time position in the jewelry department at Departo.* This is somewhat different work from my previous part-time position in Customer Service. I'd been kind of hoping I'd have to deal with fewer frustrating customers, but this isn't so much the case. Customer: Is it okay if I try on these earrings? Me: We prefer that you don't. Customer: You prefer. So that means I have a choice? Me: Mm. no. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog: Spring Break
http://modernemily.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-break.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Walking past the Green Line Cafe on 45th and Locust today, I passed by a small group of kids. I would've been wearing sneakers, but I was coming back from a last-minute job interview and lunch in Center City, and was wearing the most formal-looking shoes I could walk in. Girl #1: She's got Sketchers on. Girl #2: That's so dumb! Girl #1: What's so dumb? But I never did find out. How did the interview go? April 24, 2009 at 1:24:00 AM GMT 1. I got the job. :).

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog: February 2009

Sunday, February 01, 2009. This one's for my memoirs. Score, however, that had a photo of a young man and woman looking happy, holding hands and running down the street. The music, it turned out, was to our liking, and the album became a perennial favorite. "Officer Krupke" was a great sing-a-long. We're distoibed, We're distoibed,. We're the most distoibed. Like, we're psychologically distoibed! Hm I'm going to have to think up a better punchline if I want to be published. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, March 17, 2009. I'm awake now. And it's still real. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. She said. "That means that the current here is very strong.". Later, in high school, my English teacher read a story I'd submitted to the school's art and literary magazine. It was a stab at humor, and she read it with the right kind of amusement. "Wow, still waters run deep with you, kid.". I'm sorry for judging you too soon. You may not have realized it (or I hope you didn't), but all the same I wish I hadn't.
