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: 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: 5 Things On The 5th (July 2019...And June 2019, Kind Of, Too)

I bet you're all wondering why I didn't post last month. (Spoiler alert: nobody's probably wondering why I didn't post last month.) To be honest, it started with one of the five things I had to do this month: I put in ADA paperwork for my job. #OkayEmily, you're probably wondering, you're not sick. You're totally healthy. Why do you need paperwork in order to actually perform your job? Well, it has to do with immense stress, the day to day operations of my job changing, and one too many automatic bathrooms. It's a post for another day, and now that I can semi-think straight again, I might actually be willing to write it. For a while there, I wasn't getting anything done. I was waking up, going to work, coming home, and sleeping. I might fit in some "me" time, but that was about it. Nothing as far as planning for my future or what not. And normally, I would just hide it all away so that people don't think I'm sick or damaged. B...

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (February 2019)

Well, what do you know, it's actually still the 5th when I'm posting this :P Thinking back to this month, I thought I wouldn't be able to find anything I had done, but it was surprisingly easy to come up with things: I got a bunch of dental work taken care of. I know this seems silly to put on the list, but I'm proud that I'm taking care of myself and my own physical and mental health. I've been in the process of making a major purchase for my career, and well, FedEx operates totally differently here than they do in New York City :P But it has finally been delivered, and I can't wait to make some awesome art for you all with it. I got so stressed out that I had to take a day off of work. I really didn't want to, but there are some times where you HAVE to. I felt incredibly sick, I wasn't eating, and I couldn't get out of bed. So Mikkun took care of me, I probably ate way too much Skyline, and finally felt better in time to go home and watc...
