Hi friends! Thank you for visiting Emily’s World :3
This website was born from a class project in college and later uploaded to neocities as a way to immortalize it. I update Emily’s World semi-annually, but mostly forget about its existence until inspiration strikes.
This is a moment of inspiration....
Here are some fun facts about me, media recommendations, and ramblings!
- I am a girl living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is my hometown and I love it, but I'm also really bored of it.
- My favorite foods include malai kofta, pad see ew, spicy yellow curry, buffalo chicken dip, white rice, Sheetz appetizer samplers, and donuts. I'm currently on a mission to make the perfect gluten free malai kofta. So far it's going really really badly (my BLENDER caught on fire bro)
- I rarely experience embarrassment. Is this a super power or a major character flaw? Who knows…..
- I’ve been told many times by many people that I have a very expressive face.
- Self-expression has been, and always will be, extremely important to me. Whether that be through clothing, art, makeup, writing, perfectly curating an instagram post, hanging 100 pictures on my wall, publishing this website, etc etc.
- I am less afraid of confrontation than most people.
- I love being put in random situations and predicaments. The movie After Hours is like my ultimate fantasy.
- My all time favorite movies include:
- No Country for Old Men (2007)
- I first watched this in my Freshman year Intro to Film class. It had me on the edge of my uncomfortable wooden seat. The cinematography is breathtaking, Anton Chigurh is menacing. Karmic retribution may or may not exist.
- Bring It On (2001)
- One of my favorite movies as a kid, and I appreciate it more and more every time I watch it. Kirsten Dunst I love you. I love fun movies.
- The Doom Generation (1997)
- The first time I saw this movie was on 123movies on my laptop. It literally changed my life. Gregg Araki is my favorite director of all time. His work is weird, gay, existential, and most of all, COOL. This is a cool fucking movie. I love you Gregg Araki.
- Mysterious Skin (2004)
- Another Gregg Araki movie. This is objectively his best work. Absolutely gut-wrenching, doesn’t stray away from uncomfortable details, tackles the subject matter in a realistic, powerful, and painful way.
- The Truman Show (2000)
- Just another fun movie. I love fun. I love being entertained. And in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
- Jennifer’s Body (2007)
- This movie was literally made for me. SORRY! It’s my exact aesthetic, funny dialogue, homoerotic friendships, the soundtrack SLAPS, Megan Fox is the blueprint, I’m not killing people I’m killing boys, etc etc etc. If you don’t like this movie, you’re boring and you suck.
- Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
- I like watching women get revenge.
- Her (2014)
- A very realistic and bittersweet portrayal of humanity. Watching it in 2025 is surreal. It predicted almost everything. Cinematography is beautiful… soundtrack is beautiful… it’s hard to not be entranced by this movie.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
- Do I really even need to explain? It is an actual masterpiece. Genuinely, through and through, a perfect movie. (And also, has really cool and innovative practical effects)
- My favorite book of all time is Joy Luck Club. I first read it in my 10th grade World Literature Class, and I’ve reread it multiple times since. Each reread brings a new revelation that directly applies to that era of my life. So simple, so beautiful, themes that defy cultural and generational divides. A perfect portrayal of feeling lost in the world and trying to find your way.
- Recently, I’ve been mesmerized by the works of Miranda July. The First Bad Man, No One Belongs Here More Than You, and Kajillionare have all left me dumbfounded. Never in my life have I been more confused by any piece of media. If for some reason my life depended on correctly predicting the plot of any book or movie made by Miranda July, I would literally be dead. I highly recommend it.
- I really want to have a “pregame expedition,” which is a term I just made up right now and involves walking an hour to a bar with your friends while drinking a 4Loko out of a brown bag on the way there. I think this would be SUPER fun. If anyone wants to do this with me please hit me upppp
- I enjoy riding my bike along the river. It brings me peace.
