The name Emily means to rival, which I find oddly ironic because I'm a twin. I wonder if my mum had any knowledge of this when she named me. I find it even more ironic that Katie (the name of my twin) means pure and virginal.

I really like gardening. I know that might make me sound like a weirdo but I don't really care. That's the whole point about the internet - you'll probably never meet me. The thing with gardening is it's quite therapeutic. I'm not one of the nutters who talks to flowers and strokes the grass but I just like planting things and watering them and watching them grow and then watching them die. The garden is the only quiet place in my house. It's nice. It's different.
