Thinking out loud

Actual Results May Vary

My name is Emma. I have a first class honours degree in Philosophy (although you wouldn’t think it, given my usual standard of argument). I have a second major in English and scream at misplaced apostrophes (but I love lolcats). I have classical voice lessons (but listen to The Who, Deep Purple, and Doris Day). I have performed in amateur theatrics (although in the last one I was nearly a cross-dressing prince). I am married to an engineer (who runs our washing machine off a garden tap), I am a home-owner (although I only get excited about IKEA, rather than House & Garden), and I have a dog (who is neurotic). I sew and crochet (and my last crochet project involved big red star buttons on wrist-warmers).

On paper, I’m a married, mortgage-and-a-dog philosophy and English literature graduate who is crafty, articulate, and artistic. Actual results, as you might have noticed, may vary.

This blog is in the nature of an experiment. My last blog, Antique Song, started as something to do when I was bored and became, well, something to do when I was bored. I’m hoping that this one has a little more purpose than that. I have a brain, and I’ve decided it’s damn well time to use it. This blog is, I hope, going to be a showcase of what I can do.

Wish me luck?
