That's right ladies and gentlemen. I will be onstage and will be made fun of for wearing what are now known as "Emily Shorts".
It all started when we went to the zoo this summer. I live in the desert (as do most of you who read this) and it is very hot in the summer. So, I went and bought some shorts. [Note: nowadays all they sell are short shorts in the juniors department, for the most part] I wore a pair to the zoo because we were planning on being there all day and I didn't want to die. However, they were bright blue so that could be an attention getter, I guess. When Tom picked me up he asked me where the rest of my shorts were, ha ha very funny. After the pictures were sent out, by the lovely Kristen, the whole Sanchez family started in on the make-fun-of-Emily's-no shorts fun. Now they are branded as Emily shorts. When ever we are out together and we see someone with really short shorts mam Sanchez leans over and says, "Look she has Emily shorts on." I will never live to see the day when all this mockery ends. [Note: I have not wore the shorts since because of this, and I had no ulterior motive for wearing them.] [Another Note: Jessica and I saw a really old man wearing Emily shorts at Walmart on Friday...ew right?]
The play I am in, which has been devised by a group of us, will involve the use of Emily shorts. Throughout her writing process, our writer/director has been giving us writing assignments that coincide with high school/teenage years/what you feel insecure about in high school/what are some of your high school past times/ when have you been betrayed by a friend/etc. I once wrote about being made fun of my shorts when it wasn't my intention to look like a whore. I got the script in my email inbox today and one of the scenes involves me wearing short shorts and everyone is making fun of me and I try to defend myself but cannot, we then lead into the sense of sluttyness in teenage girls. So, Thank you Tom for this wonderful opportunity.
Also in the script, I have a line that goes a little something like this, "lets go camp out in the middle of a public park and tell our parents we're at your house..."
That's right, the whole Cassy-Duncan-Emily camping adventure got roped in also!
This will be fun to rehearse! I am really excited about this, too bad we aren't bringing this to local high schools, I would love to see the look on his face....O well, I'm over it (honestly I am).
As for my weekend, good. Some ups and downs. A lot of praying now and ahead of me, but it wasn't a total disaster. Mom and I had some nice movie bonding time Saturday evening. And this morning in the car on the way to church. By the way, I have officially decided I hate backseat drivers. I was listening to her directions and I ended up driving right past the entrance I needed to go in and it was being monitored by police officers, so I had to pull into a neighborhood and turn around, and lets just say next time I'll do it my way.
Speaking of that. I love driving. Which is ironic because it took me so long to work up the courage to get my license. Thank you Kris and Linds for dragging me to the DMV. Saturday afternoon (before movie bonding time) I dropped off Britt at a friends and got some alone time in the car. I had the windows down because it was beautiful outside and I was listening to some 80's music. It was so enjoying. I needed that alone time.
Other than that not too much more to report. I have a terrible headache for staring at the computer for the past four hours, so I will wrap this up and go do something else.
This week has busy moments, but should not be overwhelming. I will write more as the week progresses.
I now will add in a mad-lib.
Emily shorts are unique because _____________. (be nice, please. remember who judges these)
As yet another sun sets,
Bon Appetit!

I'm confused, and not just because I got 4 hours of sleeps and I still managed not to get any work done. nope, its because you guys go like two weeks with nary a peep and suddenly, wham, I'm supposed to read and comment on your lives.
also, did you get your license? You failed to explicitly mention the fact that you did, so for all I know, you went to the DMV and got the title to your vehicle. You need to tell me these things, remember, I live far away now, I can't be expected to know these things if you don;t tell me.
"Emily shorts are unique because..."
They don't really exist.
OK, Tom, I got my license in July; I was at your house that evening. I think that might have been the night you went to a party I wasn't invited to and I hung out with your sister. So, you should have known about that.
Emily, I'm sorry about the whole shorts thing, although I have never been in on the insulting you for it party. I feel bad about it none-the-less. I am also very excited that people feel close enough to you to make fun of you. :)
The weekend sounds like it was kind of tough. However, like you have already been doing, prayer is definitely key to getting through something difficult. God is awesome and watches over you and loves you very much! Also, keep in mind that what you might want may not be what He wants to do for you so you could also be praying that He will just help you to accept whatever He chooses to bring out of this time. And I will be praying for you too! :)
Yeah for movie bonding time! What movie(s)? And it's cool that you like to drive. I have also found driving quite a relaxing/ enjoyable experience which isn't completely great because I don't have a car and if I didn't, I wouldn't want to pay for the gas to just take a drive.
Emily shorts are unique because...
Emily tends to spill things on them- pineapple juice in particular. :)
Love you Em!
~And Tom, you totally should have know about the license thing!
Then why go the DMV? Please, make sense world, make sense!
They are the ones who took me to the DMV in July....that is what I was referring to....Learn to speak Emily, Tom....
