...About Me.

May I be vain and have an “About Me” page?  Too bad.  You have no say.

I’ll start with the basics.  Hi, I’m Emily.  I have brown, curly hair, hazel eyes, and a crooked pinky.  I was an Aquarius…I’m not sure what I am now nor do I care.  I would tell you my blood type, but I have no idea what it is neither.

I go to school at a university that definitely surpasses BYU (sorry, cougar fans).  That celestial place on earth would be BYU-Idaho.  No, unlike half of the students there, I don’t go there just because I didn’t get accepted to BYU.  In fact, I was accepted into both.  During my last few months of high school, I was torn between the two, but for some reason, I got a better feeling when I considered Idaho.  I didn’t understand why BYU-I felt like a good idea until I got there.  I don’t regret my decision at all.  

I now have the greatest friends, including my roommates (Beth and Melina) and "the guys" from my Fall FHE group. 

I met my heartthrob of a beau, the Han Solo to my Princess Leia, the climax of my romance novel of life, the cat's meow, my ray of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy day, my personal Fabio, my pride and joy and greatest accomplishment, the only reason to carry on with life, and, lastly, simply my boyfriend, Eric, while at BYU-Idaho last November. (He helped me come up with most of those descriptions of him.)  For some reason, I still keep the butthead around...must be a good kisser.  He's one of the coolest people I know with a personality I find addicting. I love being in his company.

I have just about the coolest family in the world.  My parents have a marriage I dream of having one day.  My siblings are the only people I know who can get under my skin, but I tolerate them enough to enjoy their company. They’re a crazy bunch, but I fit right in.  They never cease to make me laugh.  And of course, my family would not be complete without Maggie, the love of my life.

I guess I should actually start talking about myself...I’m currently an English education major.  I say “currently” because it may change.  I nerdily love the English language.  It’s one of the few passions I have.  Yes, I will correct your grammar every now and then, and yes, I will edit/revise your papers…for a small fee. 

Some of my other passions are ones that I have developed recently.  I started running not too long ago.  I’m still horrible at it, but I love doing it nonetheless.  After attending some dance workshops on campus, I decided that I really love dancing.  I’m going to take a social dance class this Fall, and quite frankly, I’m dang excited for it.  I love learning, deep thinking, and intelligent conversations.  

I’m passionate about music, but that doesn’t mean that I’m talented; I just love it.  Like every other good Mormon girl, I play the piano.  My favorite genre of music is what I call “eclecticism.”  It’s basically whatever I choose to listen to.  I have a wide range of taste.  Some days, I prefer folk music; others, I prefer metal.  I occasionally listen to British rap…occasionally.  

I love trying new things which includes just about anything.  I haven’t made it very far in the world, but I love experiencing new stuff (for lack of a better word).  I have a bucket list with items that I try to mark off as often as I can.  I have yet to ride in a taxi or donate blood.
…one day.

So…that’s me, Emily Josephine Bardin.  I'm crazy, psycho, weird, and whatever else you want to call me.  I try to be comfortable admitting it all.
