Hi, my name’s Em.
I’m a 20-something recovering academic, with an M.A. in Forensic Psychology. I recently took a job doing research for a certain policing organization. I live and love in Canada’s national capital, Ottawa. I’m also a knitter and crafter, a reader and writer, and an individual diagnosed with bipolar disorder, though I’m generally considered of the “high functioning” variety. I spend a lot of time with my kitty, Ms.Kiki, and a nice guy called Andrzej.
I love Twin Peaks, mid-90s britpop, 70s glam rock, punk cabaret, androgyny, funk, Gustav Klimt, collecting rocks, Nick Cave, dancing, Noro yarn, Oscar Wilde, curry, Nick Drake, jack russell terriers, cheese, naps, Romaine Brooks, Sparks, purple, Marc Bolan, veggie roti, Glenn Gould, and that brief moment when you wake up and don’t know who/what/where you are.
My blog title – I kinda jacked the phrase from The Hidden Cameras’ song Music is my Boyfriend. After much googling back in early 2005, I was surprised that no one had taken that name. I was the first – accept no imitations!
Oh what else should I tell you? I’ve had a bunch of blogs, personal websites, and online journals over the years, so you may recognize me from something or other. I’m more or less the same person, as we all are.
I’m on twitter too - thatemgirl – where it’s often quantity over quality.
Should you need to get a hold of me for some reason, my email is thatemgirl @ gmail dot com.
