I just tried, unsuccessfully, to win a radio...
It has been a decade or two since last doing that. You know, fingers dialing furiously in the hopes of being the lucky 10th caller. And the irrational disappointment every time your attempt is met with a busy signal. I didn’t win. Obviously.
The prize?

I think you should start a blog.
Don’t know where to begin? Tumblr! Don’t know what you will write about? Just start writing, stuff will come to you (and if not, there are always GIFs to reblog.) Don’t have anything interesting to say? Of course you do!
Almost 4 years ago after a chance encounter with one of my favorite bloggers at a club in Miami, Georgina suggested I start a tumblr. I am so glad I...

fallingdeep asked: Hi Emily! I've got a question for you: one my friends just had a baby today, and a group of us would like to get a small gift for them.

When Tim said to Simon:
You sure have a lot of girls in there.
Yes sir… He...
