In other news… I know I still haven’t answered a lot of questions from the whole “Interrogate Emily” thing. The truth is, I hate making those videos. Just sitting there talking about myself isn’t worth the time and effort it takes to make a video. Sooo I’m going to answer all the questions here, through text. Look, here are some now!

Do you think James would look cool with a mohawk?

- No, he’d look dumb.

What do you think of the new Eisley album that is streaming on their myspace?

- They’ve been hanging around too much New Found Glory and Taking Back Sunday. Blech.

if u could have 3 super powers 1) one to fulfill ur greatest dream/wish/desire 2) one to benefit the world and 3) one to smite ur foes what would these three super powers be?

- My first power to fulfill my greatest dream would be endless creativity and inspiration. Then I’d never run out of ideas for anything. My second power to benefit the world would be an unbreakable heart. If you’re going to face the tragedies of the world, that’s something you’ll be grateful for. My third power to smite my foes would be the ability to forgive everything. Nothing pisses a foe off more than being forgiven.

How has your personality changed over time?

- It has gone all over the place, and yet stayed the same. I have changed in so many ways… I have been so immature at times, so arrogant other times, so unsure of myself, so lost, so negative, and then so positive. I think my greatest change was learning – TRULY learning – that what is popular is not always cool. I always thought I knew that, but it has only been in the past year or two that I have truly discovered that I, as strange and unpopular as I may be, am cool despite what others may think.

Was there anything else you wanted to be other than an artist when you were younger?

- Art has always been #1 for me, but there were a few other things! I have considered teaching, as well as being an astronaut, a firefighter, and the first woman president.

will u be answering any of these questions any time soon?

- No.

What is the answer to the world, the universe, and everything?

- All we are is a result of what we have thought.

how did you decide on the name hobbes for your cat?

- James and I were sitting there watching this chubby little orange kitten tumble and waddle around, when James said “Hobbes!” When we took him home we changed his name to Merry but after a day we realized that the only name for him was Hobbes. James and I are big Calvin and Hobbes fans, btw.

How’s your relationship with your dad?

- I was always a daddy’s girl. I was completely obsessed with him. I remember being a kid and saying he was the handsomest man in the world and I wanted to marry someone JUST like him. I thought he was the most amazing thing ever. At some point things changed, but I still adore my dad. I respect and admire him so much for what he has accomplished in life, and I still think he’s right about everything. If anyone ever contradicts the computer or car advice he has given me, I’ll be like “well my dad said this so you’re wrong and he’s right.” It took me forever to trust James with a computer. “That’s not how my dad does it.” And his sense of humor is so corny. I’m the one that always laughs at his jokes, without fail. Dad-jokes are some of the best. I really look up to him and love him in a way that’s different than with my other family members. It’s like no matter what he says or does that hurts me, I can’t help but forgive him at the end of the day. Well, most of the time.

What would you prefer…for a guy to be ugly but a great personality or great looking but a crappy personality!

- Great personality, of course. Looks just grab your attention. It’s the conversation that holds you to them.

That’s all for now. PEACE.
