Update - Welcome to LiederWynd

So welcome to my new blog, I guess.

I've wanted a spot to put thoughts and comments and things for a while, without using my actual website. I had a blog before, but I wanted a clean break, if that makes sense. And I've liked Blogger okay over the years, and it's easy to start one here, so I figured, why not?

Here are some thoughts:

  • My name is Emily Ann Imes; I'm talented; I am a Christian and I am a lesbian and the two are mutually inclusive; I go looking for God at Cedar Point every year. 
  • She/her pronouns MOST of the time unless I am clearly presenting male! I identify as genderfluid panpolyromantic homosexual. This puts me at a 5 on the Kinsey scale. I also identify as gay/lesbian because that is a label I have had to FIGHT SO HARD FOR in my life. "You're dating a guy, you can't be gay." Lies. I'm old, get off my lawn. Let me have this one thing.
  • I'm old enough that I remember 9/11. Plan accordingly.
  • I spent 5 years in NYC and I don't regret a single one of them.
  • I will rant about: Jesus, roller coasters, anime, rhythm games, being gay and Christian, music, writing, my Place Of Employment (the POE), friends, family, etc. I will occasionally talk about sex ed because I think it's really important!!! But I will always mark those posts. I will always talk about friends and family without using names! I may make up names in their space. The only exceptions to this are my direct family members, because my Dad can't get away with not being my Dad, and Mikkun. Mikkun is my partner. If I read this a year from now and he's still my partner, you all get cookies.
  • I will probably disable comments on a lot of this, unless I open things up to what people want to say. This is to prevent bots and nasty people. If you really want to reply to me, you know where to find me.  
That's it for now, I guess. I'll promo things, I'm sure, and there will be some insight to my creative process, but I'm not here for you to buy my stuff. I'm just here to share my life with you all. I guess I don't expect a reply.

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (August 2018)

Okay, so it's a couple of days late, but I was so stressed out last night that I actually got sick. It's a miracle in itself that I'm still awake. Regardless, here are my 5 things I did in the month of August! What's funny is that you probably know most of these already, because a lot of them happened at Matsuricon. I staffed my first anime convention! It was way less stressful than I thought it would be...despite the fact that my body and mind thought it was, LOL. I sang an Akiba Idol Emily song for the first and last time in front of a crowd! It was completely unexpected, but I'm glad I got to sing at least once before I retire the project for good and put my idol days behind me. (That's a whole 'nother story, but I got this.) I went to go see Teddyloid in concert at Matsuricon! I don't really go to concerts, and I really don't go to concerts or anything for Japanese acts. I'm too embarrassed to. But this was one exception I really wante...

Update: 2020's End Of Year Review

2011 + 2012 + 2013 + 2014 + 2015 + 2016 + 2017 + 2018 + 2019  Official End Of Year Review -- 2020 Once upon a time, there were five boys and a star. The boys and the star made a promise. “Even if we go our separate ways, we will meet here again.” 1. What did you do in 2020 that you'd never done before?: I know of someone who felt like he was trapped in an eternal winter, not sure if spring would ever come for him. Well, if he were still alive, he'd probably have an entire weeks' worth of soiled underwear, because it has been March for ten months now. It's part of the reason I stopped posting things that I've done every month, because there was nothing to do. But I adapted surprisingly well. While the rest of the world was dealing with not getting haircuts and being trapped, those of us with mental health issues were able to pull out ALL the resources we use on a daily basis and handle it the bes...

Update: 2018's End Of Year Review

2011 + 2012 + 2013 + 2014 + 2015 + 2016 + 2017  Official End Of Year Review -- 2018 The scent of you, carried along by the wind When I touch your cheek, it's freezing It's completely unbelievable --  we're meeting again. It's a beautiful, beautiful life...   1. What did you do in 2018 that you'd never done before?: I think the biggest thing for me is that I was able to go to therapy! Not like HARDCORE CBT or anything like that, I've always been able to dig myself out of that. But I was able to go to career counseling to figure out what I ACTUALLY want to do with my music talent, instead of just letting everybody else mold it. I lost a major project I wanted to be in at the beginning of the year due to a micromanaging leader who took what was supposed to be mine and made it hers. Later on, I lost the Akiba Idol Emily project because I started it for the wrong reasons, which of course led to a massive mental breakdown WHILE at Matsuricon . Neve...
