Random post; Christmas, Gossip girl, etc.

So Christmas is over for this year. It is depressing to think that we have to wait for a year to see it again. I basically love Christmas as much as Blair Waldorf loves Thanksgiving....

I've had so much spare time lately that I managed to finally finish Gossip girl. I just love that series. I started watching it such a long time ago but for some odd reason I quit watching it for a while. After I decided to start watching it again I had already forgot whereabouts I was so I just wanted to start it from the beginning.
So in the end of May I started watching it again. Now I've finally finished it. Today I watched 7 episodes of it. I regret nothing. Regret is for the weak. Just kidding. But seriously I don't regret it. I'm just so sad that it's all over now!! No more episodes.. And I can't believe who gossip girl is! So many feels... I can't, I just can't.















              I just love that series so much. And the weird thing is that I actually relate to Serena. Which can be interpreted in so many ways. I seem to compare myself to her so much. It's kind of weird. But I do love her so much (in a non creepy way). Actually Blair reminds me of my best friend. Sometimes out friendship even reminds me of Blair's and Serena's relationship. Without the fights of course. I just hope that I find my Dan someday and my best friend finds her Chuck. Ok this is getting weird now. This whole post seems to be about Gossip girl now. I need to change the subject ASAP.

I just love Christmas... Especially the gravy.... *drooling*..... This year I expressed my love for gravy loud and clear. My father made a loooooad of it. I am so happy. Gravy just makes everything better. The only bad thing is that I end up eating a load and I end up feeling crappy. Like now. I ate a load of it earlier and now my stomach is full. Poor me. I regret it now but later on I'll forget it all and do it again. I have no self-control. But hey Christmas is only once a year. So let's enjoy it shall we! Like my gym teacher says. It doesn't matter what you eat between Christmas and New Years but it does matter what you eat between New Years and Christmas.

Now go eat left overs my pretties! 'Cause that's what I'm planning on doing later.
Now may the odds be ever in your favor.

The liebster tag

Ok so I got this tag from my friend Suvi. Thank you!  :)

So liebster means dearest, the most loved or favourite. The point of this tag is to give attention to blogs that have less than 200 readers. And when you decide to do this tag remember to explain what liebster means and to do everything in the instructions below.   

The instructions:     
1. Thank the blogger who tagged you.
2. Pick five blogs that have less than 200 readers by leaving a comment on their blog telling them that they have have been tagged.
3. Just hope that the people who you tagged decide to do this tag too. 

So here are the blogs that I decided to pick and no,  I didn't pick five, I picked three. The reason for that is thst this blog of mine is kind of new and I haven't followed that many blogs on here. But go and check these blogs out people :)

Pics from the funeral and other randomness

So it's been a couple of days. I came home the day before yesterday aka Sunday. We had a super long ride home. It took for nine hours!
   
     So I was gone from school for two days and I missed ten classes all and all. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do... really not interested about that. But I do have some good news about school. I got my Swedish and my German tests back. I got 8 and a half from my German test and a 9 from my Swedish test! I'm so happy right now! Especially with the Swedish test because I was told that many people from my class failed it. I was petrified that I was going to get a crappy grade too but for my luck it went waaay better! Now I just have to wait for the rest of my tests to come back. I'm really worried about my maths test. We'll just have to hope for the best.

     On Friday we had the funeral and oh my goodness my grandma's casket was so beautiful and it reminded me of her so much. The chapel part of the funeral was just so sad. I was just basically sobbing through the whole thing. I actually thought that I wouldn't cry at the funeral at all but now I'm just really glad that I used a waterproof mascara.
     The memorial part of the funeral was a lot happier and there was really good food. And here will be a couple of pictures from the memorial:
   

This is me just waiting for the food at the memorial.

And here's my little sister, Tess, playing a celebrity, not wanting that I take pictures of her.

Here's me (on the right) with my cousin Annika (on the left).

And here's from left 'til right Annika, me and Tess. :)

So that was it for the memorial pictures but here will be a couple random ones just for fun:

Here's my dog Penny. Isn't she adorable?

Me on Saturday, the day after the funeral, having a lazy day :)

Random post; tests, funeral, shopping

Well hello there, fancy seeing you here.
So my life has been semi hectic. I had a test week in school for a week and it luckily finished yesterday. Now I'm in the Joensuu area, about 600 kilometres away from home. Because I'm going to my grandma's funeral tomorrow. I'm actually staying in her house now and it's really weird being here without her.. but I don't know. The annoying thing about this place is, that there isn't an internet connection.. even the data connection on my phone is crappy. But anyway I decided to write something on this blog today even though the internet is so crappy.

    So yeah, I just had a testweek and I had tests from Finnish, English, German, Swedish, maths and physics. I'm so afraid for my maths test... because I'm on the advanced course. I really hope it went well. I really  don't want to drop out of that course. So yeah.. I'm happy that that week is finally over.

     And I ended up going shopping for a black dress yesterday for the funeral and I ended up buying the most gorgeous dress ever and a really cool looking blazer.

And yes people, I'm planning on wearing stockings or something as well. I've got a really cool outfit planned. I think I might even do a post about it. Maybe. Lets see what kind of a state I'll be in tomorrow...










But I think I'm just going to go and hang out now, so good night people! Talk to you later :)

My first post :)

So this is my first post. As you can probably read from the title. I think, that the best way to start of this blog is to tell you about myself.
   My name is Emma, but people call me Emu (which the name of the blog kind of hints...). I'm a 16 year old girl from Finland. So I'm Finnish. Though the only interesting thing about this is, that my dad's English. So I'm half Finnish and half English. Still with me? Ok, good. So I'm just a basic weirdo. I like to hang out on the computer quite a bit. I mostly hang out on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. On my phone I like to use Instagram as well. The thing is that I don't really think twice about posting something on there. If you check my profile on there, you'll notice that my first picture on there is me with a orange slice in my mouth smiling. I don't really care what other people think of me. The key is just not to take yourself too seriously.
 
      I'm the oldest of four children in our family and I've got two little sisters and one little brother. And of course I shouldn't forget my dog, Penny (actually she isn't mine, she's ours). And of course I've got a mum and a dad. Family is really important to me and they always come first.
 
      I also have hobbies. I like to think that I'm musical in some sort of way. Not too sure if it's true or not. I like to perform in my school's concerts and musicals etc. Also I've played the guitar since 7th grade. So for about three and a half years now. I've taught myself to play it, but I just started lessons about two to three months ago. And on top of that I kind of play the ukulele. I love it! It's really cool 'cause it isn't one of those instruments that everyone plays like the guitar, piano etc. and it's tiny so it's easy to carry around!
 
      I'm in highschool now. I just started this autumn. I'm kind of a nerd, so I get pretty good grades. Most of the time school swallows most of my time, which is kind of annoying... I really do try to do all of my school work well. The reason for that is, that I'd really like to get into medical school later on. But of course my mind might change at some point. My favorite subjects are chemistry, German and music of course. I do think that biology and physics are interesting too, but during the classes I get bored. I'm not sure if I should blame myself for it or my teachers.. But that's kind of irrelevant right now.
 
      I'm hooked on The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, American Horror Story , The Carrie Diaries, Under the Dome, Revenge etc. I really do like my tv shows! And of course I love Gossip Girl. Right now I'm kind of stuck in the 5th season. Which I think is good because I've still got so much to watch!

   But I think this just might be enough for now. I need to go to bed 'cause I need to wake up early tomorrow morning... I'm going to see Catching fire tomorrow! I'm sooo excited!!
But bye for now,

xoxo Emma.
