Emma's Interests

General	Writing stories and plays, playing croquet, roller skating, tidying up, baking cakes, going to Ikea, drinking tea, days out, cross-stitching, organic products, not eating meat, recycling, shops that sell clothes for tall girls. I used to like riding my bike but then it got stolen in a dramatic burglary scenario.
Music	There is a 10:1 ratio of 'Pet Shop Boys:Other Artists' in my cd collection. Although that statistic does rise to 5:1 for 'Pet Shop Boys:Ladytron'.
Movies	Amelie, of course, and Dangerous Liaisons. Why is there no section to say what play you like? I like plays.
Television	LK Today, The Wright Stuff, University Challenge, Flight of the Conchords, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Skins. Retro TV on Modern DVDs: Red Dwarf up to series 6, Spaced, The High Life, Homicide: Life on the Streets. And Harry Hill's TV Burp to make me laugh at all of the other crap I watch but pretend not to.
Books	I like books. My favourite book ever is Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome because it is very funny. I also like Roald Dahl stories and A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. Other books I like include The Remains of the Day (see I can read sensible adult books) and The Yellow Wallpaper and Alice in Wonderland. I highly recommend Tim The Tiny Horse by Harry Hill.
Heroes	Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe, Lorraine Kelly, Janet Street-Porter, Jeremy Paxman, Maggie Smith, Nigella Lawson

Emma's Blurbs

About me:
I am a writer and creative writing tutor. I also potter about quite a bit and like nothing more than going on a good mosey to find out new things.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who also have heightened emotions and can get excited about a biscuit but depressed about that same biscuit on another day.

Lady Librarians Rule OK	Jan 10 2008 9:44 AM I like it too! I saw him in New York...NEW YORK...in October and am seeing him in Doncaster in a few weeks...the glamour!
Lady Librarians Rule OK	Dec 14 2007 10:00 AM Re:Knees up things. This lady librarian tried to go and see a band in the GMEX last Sunday night but got a bit cold in there and thought it was a bit noisy and she got a bit tired stood up and that so after three songs she ended up going to an old man pub for a pint of ale then went home to bed. THAT is a lady-librarian style knees up for yer! xx
David	Nov 1 2007 11:41 AM Right back at you :) x
Lady Librarians Rule OK	Oct 31 2007 11:55 AM Hello hello from the void...how are you? I need inspiration for a new myspace based initiative now that Karaoke Anonymous has died. Any ideas? xx
David	Jul 20 2007 11:00 PM hello. yes. myspace does indeed exist. but it's not as fun. You can't spy on people the same! xx p.s the new pic is great!
coops+esau	Jul 5 2007 11:21 AM Yep I am back this weekend. Don't know if it will be cycling weather but lunch sounds good. You free saturday day time?
Soph	Jun 15 2007 3:43 AM my reasoning is i was at the graduate fair yesterday and I had to act clever all day in order to fit in with the very superior manchester university careers staff. this tired me out. and then i forgot all my clothes. and i have my second driving lesson tonight, so i need to conserve my energy in order to remember things.
Soph	Jun 15 2007 3:34 AM aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. can't concentrate. i've just spent the morning eating giant buttons and aero bubbles.
David	Jun 4 2007 5:16 PM Ain't added comment for ages, so here you go. thats it really. tired and bored! xxx
Soph	Jun 4 2007 6:33 AM what with? my head hurts. i have taken tablets but i think i may be stopping them having any effect by eating chocolate orange biscuits, which therein contain two of the worst headache advancers EVER. i believe we should take a stand and no longer wear shoes in the office. this would be GOOD.
zawe zawe zawe	May 24 2007 1:58 AM Miss Emma! What amazing progress with the writing! You should get your little butt to New York this minute! You must go! Please keep me personally informed with your rise and rise. Would have loved to offer to go to NY for you but I'm doing 'Othello' in London at the mo. CONGRATS! Keep it up missy x
David	Mar 29 2007 6:01 AM do i have to wear a blue dress with a white apron to be able to play? that is the burning question! xx
B.R.I.A.N.	Mar 27 2007 9:32 AM Hi Emma. As always I am honoured to be your friend!
alison lb	Mar 6 2007 1:24 AM congratumalations on your 'slot' on the channel four news hier soir. you came across much better than those two wrinkly ladies. quite disappointed you didn't do a clawing motion with your hands when you said 'they'll be clawing it back from somewhere' though. all in all a fab debut on primetime. xx
David	Feb 27 2007 7:21 AM you're now my number 1 friend. How does it feel? i have a lovely cake as my #1 friend! why can't i make this font bigger?! x
David	Feb 26 2007 2:20 PM hello my pretty! will you put some of award winning stories in your Blog? esp the one about post-its. Have you used any of those supersize ones i gave you yet?! xx
Tabe as Myth	Feb 14 2007 8:40 AM yo! nothing to report, but hope all is well xx
Soph	Feb 4 2007 9:26 AM i love you, you're great. and try night nurse - gets rid of all symptoms AND knocks you out. always works for me anyway!
coops+esau	Feb 3 2007 7:42 AM hiya, you know the woman who is singing when i look at your myspace page? She is going to be djing at clique (you know Ian's club thing??) next time its on if you want to go. x
David	Jan 16 2007 12:25 PM your my space is so much better than mine. its all pretty with very good music. mine is dull and i only have 2 'real' friends' i don't count Ben. He is everybody's friend. :) xx I'll hang around for a while if you don't mind. :)
alison lb	Jan 15 2007 12:39 PM When I try and send you a message 'pimpmyspace' page comes up. This means I cannot send you a message which is why I am adding a 'comment' which is really a message. Thanks for coming on Saturday. It was lovely to see you all but a bit crappy we didn't get to see you and spend time with you properly (as in there were a lot of people). Did you have your camera? If so can I see your pics?? Hey, can't wait for us 3 to come over to mancville in feb. xxx
coops+esau	Jan 2 2007 5:47 AM hello, a funny thing just happened to me. A man rang my mobile and asked me where he could get a kitten from...
alison lb	Dec 18 2006 2:51 PM It sounds full of delight and we three are eager to attend. We will be spending the main two days with famille then are heading out the eve of 27th overseas to visit the green side of famille. What calendar day is your gathering planned for? Oh I do hope we can make it. I love a miss emma buffet. i've seen photos and everything.
alison lb	Dec 18 2006 12:38 PM Are you having a party?
alison lb	Dec 4 2006 1:47 AM hello there. have you been to the christmas markets yet? abroad i mean. you could have saved some cash...we have a german market in liverpool now. it's crap though.xxx
G-Dog & The Pups	Nov 26 2006 4:36 AM Particularly as Miss Emma has different expression in the reflection - her soul? She laughs on the outside but in the depths of her being is actually a little unsure of the true value of Richard's showmanship?
G-Dog & The Pups	Nov 25 2006 2:53 PM I see 1 Rick... and 2 Miss Emmas? Surely a trick of the eyehead?
alison lb	Oct 30 2006 2:31 PM your play .... well done!wish we could have been there but we were in cardiff eating ice cream. i look forward to us acting it out soon. xxxx ps.. will young wrote to me the other day, think he's getting obsessed.
Tabe as Myth	Oct 27 2006 7:56 AM well done again, i was very moved by the play. lots of good dialogue and nice little observations
G-Dog & The Pups	Oct 25 2006 1:36 AM He beat you here too. This interdabble has highlighted a shortage of photos of you in your Billy Whizz trackie.
Fishpie	Oct 20 2006 12:03 PM Hi Emma. When you mentioned you were 'having a cake stall' I thought you meant you were going to stop dessert from reaching some child's birthday party. What you actually did was much kinder (without the kinder).
alison lb	Oct 1 2006 9:58 AM what's your best cake? i am especially fond of delia's recipe for sponge cake as it can be adapted and changed into coffee and walnut cake. i liked it and i don't even like coffee.or walnuts. pass on any tips for good cake. i need to know these things now i am a mother. esme says hi xxxx
G-Dog & The Pups	Sep 29 2006 9:32 AM U m'Lois.
