EMILY was born in May of 1989. This may seem ironic because her username states that she was born in 1988. This is something called a lie. EMILY was born and not much happened. She was a nerd and bullied at school so she learned Japanese to be cool, not realizing that speaking Japanese only made her more of a nerd, anyway. EMILY attended over 15 different schools growing up, and graduated a year early at the age of 17. This is because EMILY is a nerd. Also when EMILY was 17, she uploaded her first video on a weird Web site called YouTube. One of her friends dared her to get onto the most subscribed list on YouTube, and so she accepted. Two years later she has reached and surpassed her goal, and probably has a lot less brain cells because of it. EMILY now lives in the country of Japan, has a Chihuahua and a velvet purple jacket.
GothicMae, trying not to be too sad.
EMILY has an alter-ego called Gothic Mae who likes to stay away from the Internets because they intimidate her. Sometimes, though, Gothic Mae shows herself on BlogTV.com or Stickam.com, where she does emo poem readings and discusses the meaning of life. When this happens, people tend to run away and ask themselves “Why, God, why?”. To Mae’s knowledge, God has never replied to that question.
About EMILY’s YouTube:
EMILY recorded her very first YouTube video in October of 2007 in her living room in South Florida. She and her super special awesome friend, Mad1, were very bored. Mad1 suggested to EMILY that she record a pretty intense video for the Internets to see, and EMILY agreed that that sounded like a splendid ol’ time. Once Mad1 and EMILY recorded their first video entitled “Pretty Intense Workout”, they uploaded it to YouTube. It was unpopular because no one knew about EMILY. EMILY was as unknown and uncool as Joe the Plumber.
Before finding out about YouTube from her friend, EMILY had never made a video before, or even looked at YouTube. But over the past two years she has gotten a better feel for filming and video editing, and now enjoys it very much. Her videos on YouTube are (mostly) in-character, which can be confusing for some people who don’t understand what ‘in-character’ means. All of EMILY’s videos are 100% un-scripted. This isn’t because she is creative, but simply because she is lazy.

Your amazing
Emily you rooock ;O;
Please make more super intense videos.
I’m hoping for more japense lessons
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~
Hey, baby! Your so cute and smart! love u xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi there Emily,
Ive been keeping track over the past 6 months or so on your various profiles across the net, particularly youtube.
What an interesting charicter you are.
Some love you others hate you, Encyclopedia dramatica is a good example of this.
A smart person will take information and make up their own mind about whats crap and whats genuine.
While alot of whats said on there may or may not be accurate, I stll think your a nice girl just trying to get somwhere in life while others try and shoot you down just because they can.
Sorry to hear you couldnt stay in japan, I just came back myself and want to live there eventually. People bitch about your level of japanese but I can only hope to be as fluent as you some day. Its a difficult language to learn.
I did 2 days in Tokyo then off to hakuba for a week snowboarding, staying at (the lab).
If you ever go back you should take a trip out to nagano and see the snow monkeys.
well gotta go for now.
An admirer.
xx
You’re such a beautiful person Emily!
we love u
wish u the best in Japan dear
its interesting how many fans, lovers and admirers you have,,, you seem like, hmmm, like a pop star or something,,,
is that annoying? (was that the right word,,, Im still not sure if my english is pretty intense enough to understand, greetz from berlin)
Don’t ask me why, but I love the fact that you talked here at the third person, it is so … you
.
And as your Emily, you are an international pop star, not because you live in Japan, because you can reach other people heart, despite of the differences of culture (sometimes it doesn’t work and you have some haters).
Sin is from berlin, I think he likes you too.
I’m from France, and proud to know you
I Was Wondering If There Were Any Good Science Universities In Japan? I Am Planning To Go Abroad To Major In Sciences. Any Suggestions, Even If You’re Not Majoring In Science, But I’m Sure You Have A Better Idea Of Universities In Japan Than Me Here In America.
Thank You!
emily u r so cute and funny,hope to see more clips of u
love you girl
今日は！！ あなたのビーデオがだい好き。 今、私は日本語を勉強する。日本語は楽しいねえ～。 がんばって！！ｗｗ
Yes please post more “pretty intense Japanese” type videos to youtube. I get a kick out of how you speak it so fluently….for an American.

Yeah pretty intense huh
omg i wish i was you O.o
jk
Hey emily i’m into this site,
what you write on it seems natural and from the heart, and not plasticy dribble. Watching your journey myself, your words are truly moving

Dear Emily,
Whatever you may do in the future, never let anyone stand in the way of you pursuing your dreams. Know that you will always have friends to rely on whenever you need them. No matter what you may decide to do in life, We will be right there to help, support, and love you. I wish you only the best as you continue chasing your dreams.
Tomorrow’s hopes and dreams will never die as long as you believe in yourself and follow your heart…
Sincerely Yours;
Alex
P.S. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for 無罪其ノ壱. Those 7 minutes and 16 seconds never seemed to end…
You are the reason I live, breathe, love and laugh. You mean everything to me.
Keep going… and don’t ever ever stop.
Hey, why is Emily written EMILY? I can’t tell if you’re writing in the third person or if someone else is writing it for you. If someone else is writing it for you I can understand that, but they are attempting to talk like you… which is lame, (that is to say if it really isn’t you).
Also typing in this box has a nice feeling, typing small white text on a dark gray background… you should try it out. I’d say it’s comparable to walking on a wet sandy beach.
Anyway, I’m not an obsessed fan, I don’t even know why I typed anything, I guess that the “EMILY” was kind of a hook for me, even though it annoyed me… maybe you should keep it after all.
Do you work in Japan?
If you do, what work?
Can you also read kanji?
If you do how did you learn?
I’m not asking how I can possible learn
But I just wanna hear how you learn
thanks..
I’m guessing this smap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MJaBpcTxv8 isn’t the kind you were suggesting to learn Japanese from??? ice mocha for learning kanji rocks btw. you taken the jlpt?
I am a nothing… I am invisible… I am floating in the eternal spaces of the universe into infinite boundaries…
I am as small as the smallest atom, I am as un-important as a piece of dust, I am nothing and nothing is never and no where…
I am tiny, I am little, I am invisible and invincible…
The nothing which comes from no where will never appear and never win…
Victories of glory, battles for peace, wars for freedom and eternal death…
These is not my poem, this is not my way…
I am small, I am nothing, I am no where and never…
No one
can
see
me…
And this is my secret…
Light will come and darkness will fade…
Warm sunshine get into our spirits
enlighten us and bring us to the gardens of love…
I am nothing, I am small, I am little,
I am nothing, I am small, I am little…
No one can grab me, no one can see me…
No one can stop me, no one can avoid me…
Small, tiny, little
atom, molecule, bacteria…
endless…
eternal…
light
shadows and darkness
conquered and gone for ever….
Victory….
small, nothing,
NOTHING!!!
Hey there!!! very nice your japanese lessons!!! would you teach me in my home!! lol
take care!!!
nice job!!!
un beso!!!
bye!!
you’re just a day older than me.
Uh, I have no clue why I’m even looking at this. I was browsing porn on 4chan and found you in between.
I think you’re probably the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen many girls.
I see them walking down the road, out my window, on the bus, and sometimes they sit on my couch and watch movies with me…
So yah, I pretty much stopped looking at porn and started watching your youtube videos.
(I don’t need the subtitles)
^_^ kekekekeke.
I was just watching requiem for a dream, and I’ve only ever been in love with a girl through the ‘media’ once. Her name is… Jennifer conelly. Or something? She’s gorgeous. Probably the hottest girl in existance. You come in second…
You know why you’re not first?
Because your eyebrows look weird.
Barbiedoll plucked and penciled eyebrows are disgusting.
You looked alot better with natural eyebrows.
Suki de dou shiyou.
Write me back!
Love, anon. <3 /6/
Hi Emily!
I saw you on NHK TV tonight. おもしろい！ 日本語は上手ですね！
Wow! Your Japanese pronunciation is very good for my foreigner ears
Show me your secret to learn Japanese as fast as you do!
がんばってね！
Hey Emily,
I think that’s awesome that you’re living your dream in Japan.
Now I’ll start talking in Japanese. starting… NOW!
私は コリン です。十八さいで 大学いちねんせいです。 私は 高校で 日本語を 勉強した から アニメが だいすきです。 私は 二回 日本に 行った事が あった。 私は アニメ VOICE ACTOR に なりたい だよ。 やっぱり 私の ゆめ だ。 アニメ と いえば エミリ さんは どんな アニメが 好きですか。
おれは 幽遊白書 （ゆうゆうはくしょ）と 天元突破グレンラガン が だいすき。
エミリ さんは 私に 日本語を たすけて くれますか。
おれを だれだと 思ってやがる！！！
I’d really like to get a chance to talk with you as I too am planing on living in japan for a few years possibly doing the JET program, where native english speakers teach English to Japanese students.
I would greatly appreciate an email with any advise.
(btw, I’m almost certain my japanese has spelling errors/flaws as I am only a college level one stundent, but I am doing my best lol)
Hi Emily. My name is Yves and I’m fan of your pretty intense Japanese lessons. My friend and I just started taking Japanese class. We must be prepared when we’ll be in Japan. We’ve got only three months to learn Japanese. I think it’s possible because our brains work well. I’d like to say thank you because I’m able to say when I wake up in the Morning I always drink tea. Watashi assani okitara suguni ocha hononda….
Anyway. I’ve read you are in Japan now. We’d like to meet you there just to have a coffee, eating an apple or doing anything else funny. We are both living in Switzerland then we can bring with us chocolate or cheese. You love apple, 私のチーズ好き.
Bye for now,
Yves
HI Emily
I came across your work yesterday from another random link. You have a wonderful natural sense to editing. I particularly like I’m Human. Beside the youtube awards etc have you thought about trying to make a short. I’m am just starting to make shorts myself and hope to have a few things completed in the next 3 months. Check this site/contest out. It would be cool to see a piece from you here.

Hi ^^ I love your vids on yt. I think the only reason I gave your videos a chance (and trust me I don’t give “regular” people videos hardly any play lol) is because my cousin bragged and I mean BRAGGED about how he went to OPRF with you. And I was like “really?” (with a lack luster ring to it) I honestly couldn’t care less but he insisted and I mean really INSISTED that I give you a chance. And Bada-Boom-Bada-Bing I’m watching you vids and subi-ing to you. Crazy, I know O_O But good job ^^ Also you were bullied?? That sucks monkey-balls but I honestly don’t know how that feels. I’ve always had a smartass mouth and didn’t take crap from anyone. *shrugs* Idk just wanted to share that fact ^^
Oh and Berlin is my real name, it’s pretty sweet ^^ I know >:]
Hey could you help some of me out? I can not for the life of me find out how to translate that amazon page to english. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated and I can finally buy that DVD. Thanks!
How’s the school (or whatever you are doing) going?
hi there i made a blog. I dont know if you remember me but I told you at some point I was going to India and well, I really did. I left everything and went. In the meantime I made a blog deusadesion.blogspot.com. It´s in portuguese so you might not quite understand somethings but if you use a translator device perhaps you can. Some parts are in english anyway. Now I came back I restarted my studies and had good grades which after so many years absent I never thought it couldbe possible. Im today independent finantially which is simply a great thing and so relaxing. I love you very much Emily. Answer me someday…. I love you bye…
The blog means the goddess of Sion. You are my goddess. Please learn portuguese so you can understand my heart and i promise you i´ll learn japanese so i can understand yours. I´ll only translate one part to you. This was the best I could do with the translation program. It´s much more beautidul in original but I think you´ll get the idea, oh well, I tried… And I love you deeply
bye . I´d marry you tomorrow with no second thoughts my sweet ice love

Is it possible there is someone playing with the words stronger than me? No, it is not possible! It is not possible! It was of such a pureness that it´s simply not possible! I wrote everything eliminating all the remaining portion that was not related with the world that I more wanted. Clearly, I wrote this afternoon! All the gods conspire so that Emily´s and Alexander´s relationship works out! We will be together in one week. An oracle one day said me, I see you working with wires, joining them and offering them to people. I did not understand than what she meant. One day someone had spoken to me that a master worked with light wires that only some holy and divine beings could see them. I went to see her. Today I understood what she meant, It weren´t those the wires she meant. No, the truth is in such ways alive in me that simply using the best of my knowledge and belief I can detach thoughts from my life ones from the others and join them as I wish. And with immediate consequences in the world around me. I was writing to my blog next to the entrance of a metro in my city when I wrote “This is a world of anime. One day an oracle had told me. She had come far away only to see me. She sat down and started to speak with me in French.” At the precise moment where I wrote and I thought about “She sat down and started talking” a random girl that was passing next to me stopped her march and started to look at me at the same flowing of my thoughts. It wanted more. I wrote, Emily will pass by Alexander in some minutes and is going to seat to speak with him. It is written. And neither I neither anyone can undo this. The leaves of my booknote started flying leading the way. You were in the University Stadium. I ran, I ran as i did not run in a very long time and with my heart in a baby´s heart shape I looked for you everywhere. To each opposition that came across my mind I repeated always. No. It is written. I deceived myself. They will never allow me to find you. Not if you don´t want. The gods want to play with me but I do not want to play with them. This is not love they say. You are forcing her to love you. Perhaps it is not. But this love that sacrifices and gains nothing in return does not interest me. When I was eight years old I saw a story of a boy who was sad. One small bird asked him “why are you sad”? He answered «The girl I like does not love me» The little bird went to a sacred forest. He told what happenned to a white flower. The flower said, I grants you that wish but you have to sacrifice yourself for me in my thorn. The little bird stabbed the thorn into his chest and painted the flower in red at the same time his life went vanishing from his body. Someone took the flower to the boy. He didn´t want the same girl anymore, he wanted a different one now. And I always was like that bird until the day I saw that japanese anime. Until today. I´m ready to scrifice for you Emily. LV YOU.
We are gods my dear, and you are my goddess of Sion,
For you my love,

Hi. It´s the last time I write here. I would like to defy you. I just posted in the place of the «website» my passwords from my blog. I would like to defy you to be the most creative possible and whatever and whenever you feel like posting something on my/our blog you can do it. Feel free. It´s as much yours as it is mine. It will never be as important as yours of course but I think we could have a very nice conversation and exchange of thoughts in art terms and mainly pure art in a total open space between ways of seeing life that are necessarily different. In time we will be able to share the passwords with other creative people which would like to join. The only rule is to never erase what the others may have written. By what you know about me by now I think you know I´m not in search of protagonism or anything like that. It´s pure art. And my love for you is really deep and true. What do you say. If you think i´m psycho or something it´s ok also, I just ask u to say it in my blog. Do you accept the challenge? Whenever you feel inspired, in the middle of the night, morning, in two days from now in one year from now. Feel free. Whenever you feel. I will leave the blog there until I die and will do the same, as I just did by posting under the poem of a portuguese poet the video I like the most from you, as I had the chance to tell you a long time already… OK
? PS: To compensate you from this «invasion» of ur blog I will donate something so you can buy some more corn flakes because i´m guessing in Japan they must not come cheap… haha… I´m waiting then… LV U Emily. Always. 
And remember, you are free to write whatever you want, it´s your/my free blog 
… And you would honour me if you accepted the challenge… 
)) LV YOU my sweet ice love…
Great Im such a dork I revealed my passwords to everyone. And since there are outthere so many people that know they will never have a chance because they´re too afraid to come close to such a beautiful girl like you in so many ways they treat you very bad and they would promptly destroy our blog. So im going to put the second word in addition to the first of a fake mail ok? LV u
, bye….
