!*!*!About Me!*!*!

Well, Hi and welcome to ME!! *lol*

I won't try to bore you to much, so I'll just give you a run through of my 17 years of life...boring or not! I'll just leave out some parts that I think are boring and let you decide on the rest.

Okay...here goes!

My names Emma (as you already know) and I'm currently living in Brisbane, Australia. I'm 17 years old and I was born on the first day of October in the year of 1983! When I was 22 months old my sister Sarah was born in the year of 1985 on the first day of  July. And then on the day before my 3rd birthday, the day of the 30th September 1986, my little sister, Melissa was born.

We were currently living in a small country town 2 hours south of Sydney...and at that time my dad was in the Navy so he wasn't home very often. And then when he did come home we always went to Sydney to pick him up and see the rest of the family that still does live there. And one other good thing about that was, we always got loads of cool pressies from almost every country my dad visited.

At the age of 5, 1989, I had my very first day at school, and although I can't remember it at all I believe it wasn't to bad...cos I'm still at school now.

 In 1991, the family and I came up here to Brisbane for a wedding, that I happened to be the flower girl in (I think if you're lucky you just might find some of those photos in the album), the wedding was heaps fun but I was that scared I didn't look at anyone at all...till I reached the end and no-one was looking at me anymore. I looked at the floor the whole way down the isle till I saw my mum, dad, sisters and one of my cousins telling me to look up and smile, so I did.

I think it was either after the wedding or before it that I broke my right arm in 2 places. I had my arm in plaster for almost 3 months because I broke it again when I got my arm out of the plaster the first time...and then the bones were not mending right so I had to go to hospital and the doctors had to brake it again for me so that the bones would mend properly.

When I was 11, 1994, the family and I moved to Sydney because of my dad's job so he wasn't away from us all the time. We lived in Sydney for 2 and 1/2 years and when I was 13, 1996, my dad got out of the Navy and we packed up everything, left our family and friends in Sydney and moved to Brisbane.

I started a new school and a new life with no friends and I didn't really like it that much at all.

In 1997, I started high school, grade 8 and I had some friends with me from grade 7, so I wasn't completely alone. In 1998, grade 9, one of my best friends came to my school (she wasn't my friend then, she was new), her name was, and still is Sas and she is still one of my best friends. And I hope always will be.

My years at high school have turned me around in a way, it's made me realise what I like and dislike...and who I really am as a person.

In grade 9 maths...there was this girl, Tegan, she started me on the Backstreet Boys, and now I'm hooked, and I'm sure my boyfriend Dave knows I am too...*lol*

And now I have come to me, 2001, 18 in October and in my final year of that high school that made me, me. I'm sitting here, listening to the Backstreet boys new album and thinking about Dave and wondering why my life is so good. I mean, before I had Dave and everything was bad I was very unhappy, very sad, all the time. I would cry myself to sleep some nights because I couldn't understand why I was feeling so alone even though I had people around me everyday that cared about me.
