To the fellas
I don’t think our guy friends realize the protection they stumbled on when they became our friends. We, the nunnery, would go to the ends of the earth to protect these fellas from a skeezy girl or godzilla, whatever the monster happens to be. Anyway, the point is that we think these guys are great and would do just about anything for them.
HOW TO BE EMO-LICIOUS
Hair
Hair is a big part of the “emo” look. There are many emo-looking hair styles to choose from. Contrary to popular belief, not every emo has short, black, choppy hair (although this screams emo). Some of your abundant style choices include:
· A short bob is always a classic, with or without side-swept fringe bangs that coverone eye, in black, dark brown, or platinum blond. Just make sure your hair color isn’t natural.
· Or try long-ish hair, with abundant layers and even bangs, possibly chunks of bleached-blond sections and other colors, or dyed black.
· If you are feeling adventurous try dying sections of your hair pink, baby blue, bright green…etc….
· Choppy layers are always great! Try teasing your hair for a messy effect.
· Think outside the box. Emo has its roots in the punk scene, and isn’t just limited to black. Hair can be any color you want — as long as the cut is expressive of a punk rock culture and has a little a-la-emo flare.
· Wear super girly hair barrettes, bandannas, ribbons. It’s up to you!
Make-up
· Applying lots and lots of eyeliner is requisite to being Emo. Go thick and go bold. But avoid looking like someone punched you. You can apply it all over the eyelids, under the eyes a little too, but dont’t put it on the browbone. Instead choose a neutral shade for that area.
· The emo look usually includes being as pale as your natural skin tone will allow, so get a whitening foundation of a super light powder. This isn’t extremely important so don’t go overboard with this, because you don’t want to be mistaken for goth.
· Dark nail polish for girls is recommended. Black is normal but other colors such as dark green, dark purple, or even black and white stripes could work.
Clothes
· Black or dark colored clothing is a staple for Emos. The color expresses the emotion in their little black hearts.
· The following are staples in any Emo’s closet:
· Both guys and girls should wear skinny jeans.
· Accessorize with one or multiple studded belts.
· Converse, Vans, Airwalk or any skate shoe will work great as footwear, just as long as you make sure they are black.
· Legwarmers are great accessories for Emo girls, especially when paired with a dress.
· A dark coloured zip-hoodie is a classic must have. Hoodies with thumb holes are a bonus.
· Band Tshirts are absolutely necessary. It doesn’t matter where you buy it. Just scope out ‘emo’ bands for a something great. You could try bands like Dashboard Confessional, Fio Twakey, Lungfish the Promise Ring, Braid, Cap’n Jazz, Thursday, Hot Water Music.
· Hot Topic is your friend. Almost everything there will make you look emo.
Tips
· Don’t pretend to be an Emo. You’ll very quickly lose friends, as you won’t fit in with your old friends and existing Emos will shun you. You have to commit to being an Emo.
· Never admit to being Emo. This is the biggest mistake rookies make. You will risk being called a poser if you exclaim your Emo status.
· Some people dislike Emos, so be warned that you might be disliked for who you are.

Does anybody else have crazy dreams??
How did I go from single-white-female to married-mother-of=four back to single-white-female in the course of a night??
Odd dream? Absolutely.
In my dream, I gave birth to 4 asian babies. But afterwords, I didn’t want the babies. I remember feeling like I wasn’t ready to be a mother. The supposed father was a caucasian guy, who also happened to be the doctor who delivered the babies. How I had asian babies with a caucasian man, I don’t know… I also remember I wasn’t ready to be married either. I felt so bad that I didn’t want the babies. I wanted to want them, but I just couldn’t do it. I didn’t feel bad about not wanting my husband though…hmmm… I woke up from this dream with a very strange feeling, a sort of unresolved, unnerving, unsettling, almost indescribable feeling. Weird.
What have I realized after having this dream?
I’m glad I am still a single white female. Haha!
Go Nunnery.
