Young Poor & Angry Press

Name:  Emily

Position: Intern

Album of the Week:  Lost Ground- Defeater

Weekly Song Obsession: I was jamming to E-Town Concrete on the way home from Disneyland, so Mandibles has been stuck in my head all week

Movie you have to see or saw this week: I haven’t seen any movies this week unfortunately but I keep hearing good things about Law Abiding Citizen and I still have to see Zombieland!

Most Random Text Message: “AFWA. Anti Farming Women of America” in reference to me and my friend’s dislike of the Farmville obsession on Facebook

Most Embarrassing: I screamed while falling up the stairs at the Rainforest Cafe, drawing the attention of many people around me and, since I bruise very easily, I had big bruises on my shins the next day. Also, someone at school is out to redecorate the inside of my locker, this week’s addition being saran wrap. Last week was silly string.

Geek Indulgence: I went to Disneyland twice this week dressed in my Minnie ears and gushed over the insane amounts of adorable kids there. I want them alllll!

Funniest Follower Tweet: @myrasshole IM HER MOM! NOOO SHE’S NOT! Hahaha laughed for a good 2 minutes. Check out the kittens inspired by kittens video on Youtube if you haven’t seen it. Adorable and hilarious!

Favorite Staff Moment: When the boss told me to write my first review earlier this week!

What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory: My grandma invites 2 ladies that goes to her church with her one that’s like in her late 20s and the other in her 60s to Thanksgiving dinner. The older one is so intelligent and the younger one is a complete airhead so it’s hilarious to try to watch them have a conversation. We started talking about the OJ murder trial, and she referred to DNA as “people stuff” and it took everyone a good 20 minutes to figure out what on earth she was talking about.

What are you thankful for: The people in my family who act as family should, my friends, and music. I swear I would be lost without those things

Teenage celebrity crush: Well considering I am still a teenager, I have a good range of people I can contribute to this list. My “always” crush is Johnny Depp he can never stop being sexy it’s impossible. Currently, Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 500 Days of Summer, James Franco, Josh Duhamel, and Ryan Reynolds top the list. Oh and I’ve had a pretty consistent girl crush on Megan Fox

What’s it like being an intern for YPA Press: It’s a lot of fun! I was nervous at first, but the staff was super considerate and helped me through my first times doing certain things. I think it’s awesome to help to make a contribution to the music scene that has really become my life. I also love when my friends ask me about the website and then they start to like it and read it too.

Whats your staff nickname?: Em.I.T! I love it, Justin gave it to me like my second day as an intern.

Do you have a boyfriend? : I do not have a boyfriend. I’ve never really been a boyfriend kind of girl, but I think that the fact that all my close friends are guys and they are the people I trust the most and have the most fun with might intimidate some guys.

Are you easy to get along with?: I would like to think so. I hate not getting along with people, unless they give me a reason not to like them. I hate people that are rude just for the sake of being rude or to make themselves seem tough, it doesn’t get you anywhere. I love making new friends, so being amiable to others is pretty necessary.
