About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation College Student Services
Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction I began this blog in 2006 after my sister, "The Old Bag", showed me how. My blog is about nothing, really. Just stuff I do, think, observe, draw, or find humorous. I work in student services at a large college and need a diversion. The pseudonym "Emma Pod" originated in 2005 from an ongoing joke with a co-worker about being "drones" and "pods" at work. (For more on Pod People, see "Invasion of the Body Snatchers")

Favorite Music The Moody Blues, Hapa and other Hawaiian musicians
Favorite Books I read everyday. I love novels and check out 6 or more whenever I go to the library. I also love books on art, drawing, painting, colors, etc.

What's the most amount of sand you've ever had in your swimming trunks?

On our first trip to Maui, a wave picked me up, spun me around like a washing machine, filled my suit with sand, and deposited me shaken but unharmed - for which I was grateful. The sand was the least of it.
