All you commenters seemed to REALLY love my gurl Emily. I’m so so happy you did because she’s officially become a guest blogger and I couldn’t be more excited! To kick off her weekly bloggin’ she’s answered a few pressing questions so you could all get a chance to know her… Please give Emily a big giant WELCOME TO THE BLOG comment and enjoy her amaze interview!

If you could make any celebrity some of your awesome cupcakes, who would it be?
Without a doubt, I would make Conan O’Brien THE best cupcakes known to man. I have this saying when making cupcakes that goes, “You know I like you when I make you a cupcake”
That saying still rings true, and this summer I have been crazy busy whipping up those yummy treats. What can I say, I like a lot of you guys!
So Conan, be on the watch for your cupcakes!
What is your DREAM job?
My dream job you ask? I would love to travel the world. I’ve always been a fan of Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel, and having my own show would be so fun! OR, being a professional ice-skater! That definitely is a stretch for me because I am not flexible one bit! I failed the flexibility portion of gym in high school, but you said dream job, right? haha
If you could be any cartoon character for a day, who would you pick?
This is a toughie, but I would love to be Hey Arnold for a day. He lives in that crazy apartment complex, with his grandparents, and there never seems to be a dull moment. While being Arnold, I would buy him some new outfits so he could have more of a variety to pick from!
It’s funny how most cartoon characters are given one outfit to wear. Makes getting ready a cinch!
What are you studying at school?
I’ll be starting my sophomore year at Columbia College Chicago soon, and I’m majoring in Film&Video. My main focus will be the editing aspect of it all. I think it’s so neat how you get edit together all the clips to have it then tell a story for your audience. There are so many choices to make when editing, and I love learning about all the different softwares out there. Right now editing has been a hobby of mine, but hopefully down the road I can make it my job!
What is your ideal dinner?
When I think of tasty dinners, I immediately think of all the great meals I have in the summer. My dad is a grill-master, and he makes the BEST steak! So I’d have some flat iron steak, with a baked potato, cucumbers&sour cream (YUM!), and some corn on the cob. My mouth is watering so bad right now!

comment by Tommy — August 29, 2010Welcome to the blog, Emily! I went to Columbia too, great minds think alike.
comment by Lauren — August 30, 2010Aw, you seem really cool! Hey Arnold is the best. I often find myself thinking about how awesome that show was. And my friend goes to Columbia! Well, she’s taking this semester off, but I think she still goes. Not gonna, I’m still kind of sad that I never got to do this when I was a little 13-year-old. Oh well, past is in the past.
