I sometimes procrastinate even for things that are fun. Like, I would say to myself: "how about I play assassin's creed 4?" and then I'd be like "nah, maybe later. I'm just going to sit here and stare at the ceiling for now". I swear I don't do drugs.
I DO THIS TOO!!!! I will LITERALLY sit there and not do the fun shit I want to do because I have more important things that need to be done but end up just fucking sitting there doing NOTHING.
This is quite possibly the most relatable video you've done omg. I moved away for uni and I'm flatting now with a few friends, we're all as lazy as each other. I load up the dishwasher every few days and instead of unloading it when it's done, we'll just use the dishes out of there and refill it when it's empty again. I ate avocado on toast for every meal for 2 weeks straight because I can't be bothered going on a proper food shop or learning how to cook. Someone did washing 2 days ago and it rained when she hung it up so she's just left it in the rain instead of bringing it in. I've lived here a month and I haven't vacuumed my room yet. I've been sleeping in a blanket burrito because I'm too lazy to make my bed. Half of my bed is covered in textbooks and paper because I'm meant to be studying but here I am binge watching these videos! I haven't bought a set of drawers for my clothes yet so I'm still living out of my suitcase... Yeah, I could go on for hours about our flat....
Beating yourself up just makes it worse. What works is encouragement and telling yourself all of the logic of why your life will improve if you do responsible things.
Richard Smith It's also for anyone else with the same problem. Some people really struggle with this. Consider my sister: she quickly got married and never had the time to deal with this problem. Now, her house is always a mess, despite raising kids. We all know that she's not too busy to clean up.
I am happy that your confusion about your "laziness" was explained to you so you can feel better about yourself and understand a little bit more on what is going on upstairs. Also Happy 1M!
And so begins Emmas spiral into insanity. But in all seriousness, I can totally relate. I moved out of my house almost a year ago and it really does give you even more of a chance to just be lazy lol. And not having parents there to do things for you is strange.
FantasticFishfingersAndCustard I started a Tumblr yesterday and have 8 followers. If you are one of the lucky few, then yes - I am that guy from Tumblr. Pleasure to meet you.
Story of my fricken life! I did move out last year for just over a year and I actually loved it. Doing my own cooking and cleaning etc. Because it was MINE and I didn't have to clean up after 2 grown adults! Now back at home (because what even is money?) but now I do cleaning as my procrastination from actual work like uni reports and studying and crap...
I stopped paying attention for a second or two and when I started paying attention again Emma was crying, eating, and destroying things. Ive never been so confused or felt like I could relate more in my life
I moved out of my parent's house at the end of last year and omg, I can totally relate to this. To me, being productive usually involves seeing how many movies or TV shows I can watch in a day. -.-
This so perfectly summs up my last two years of living alone xD before that I had 20m² and everything else shared with others but living on my own now brings out the worst in me -.-
Sophie Grace i thought google because of the white couch plus those pillows it looks like the white screen with the colorful google letters but i could see that too xD it does look like the windows logo
I can totally relate with living alone. I always tell myself: "You're gonna clean today, or go out and enjoy the beautiful weather, or do your homework early for once" and it never ever happens. I literally sit here and watch UA-cam videos all night.
Tell him to #blameemmafromyoutube... my useless talant is wasted on u people trend that T-shirty tag... in other I used runaway... I got away (I think)
When I moved into my halls at University... This happened. Also, putting off my washing until I have to resort to going into town and buying new pairs of boxers... Yeah, new record there
I'm surprised by how much I love you now. The first time I saw you you had this bright pink hair and would talk angrily about your past teenage failures, but lately your videos have just been overflowing with your hilarious personality. Beyond the humor it seems like there's just another sad person beneath the shell and that really makes me like you more.
Wow emma, the color coordination of you and your couch is so fantastic holy cow. Those pillows and your hair and make up, *whistles* that was awesome looking.
WHY have I never watched your videos before?! You could literally say anything and I'd still listen from here on out, your voice is excellent, like a woodland animal's. Oh and I feel your pain, I've been putting off revision for waaay too long...
This video is so relatable that I laughed and then I cried. People don't know how hard it is unless they move out of their parents' house. I still have things to unpack and I moved into my apartment 2 months ago. I literally see my untidy shelf and desk and say 'I'mma do that shit later." I finally washed my wares because I realised that I didn't have a plate. Then I decided to sweep and mop- realising that I don't know how to adult because the entire place smells of PineSol because I used too much, and I can't open the window because it's raining. Don't take your parents for granted, kids.
Oh dear. I'm the kind of person who cleans up as I go. I mean I still live at home, and the problem with that is that the rest of my family doesn't, so the kitchen is still a constant mess which I deal with most times when I get home from work, but my room is always tidy and my washing is always done and if I cook I wipe benches and rinse pots and stuff as I go, and I sort of half-arsedly clean the shower WHILE I'm in the shower which makes cleaning the whole bathroom easier (which isn't something I have to do while living with my parents thankfully, but it'll come). idk just little things that make bigger jobs much smaller. Vacuuming kills me though, I mean I do it, but I have chronic fatigue so I sort of have to vacuum a room then sit down for a bit before I move on to the next room, because for some weird reason vacuuming makes me so much more exhausted than any other kind of housework or general physical exertion. I'm sure I could go for an hour walk and be less tired than if I vacuumed my house in one go... (I went off on a tangent there I'm so sorry)
Oh goodness, there are some bits of this video I can relate to currently (mostly when I'm living at college, haha...) and some bits where I'm like, "Am I seeing my future". This video is so perfect and cute! uvu
I live in a 4bd apartment, and my roommates are rarely home, so I pretty much do exactly what you demonstrated, only with more crying and candy, and less believing my lies than just pretending to believe them
I haven't even moved out yet but my parents went away for 2 weeks so I had to look after the flat, my older sister and our dog. My sister did absolutely nothing the whole time except make mess... I understand the pain of realising you didn't do something when you were meant to, especially when it's comes to cooking dinner when you still haven't washed up from yesterday's 😁
Emma re twitted a comment about her being pregnant and that Dan Nerd3 is actually preparing a house for their child somewhere far away and that she doesn't go to parties and doesn't drink because she's pregnant and now she gets stressed easily and is lazy and not doing anything and Dan has a child carpet for like driving toy cars around,Emma,Dan,you aren't helping with the conspiracy theories. XD
I did this for three years, starting another study gave me something to give rhythm to my life and now I am more used to doing things. It's really something you have to train. But it's fucking hard and people don't really understand.
+emmablackery I'd say for this period of you, best . But the later videos = awsomenessssssss . And I don't live alone but my parents are home like 2 hours of daylight.so I know what you mean
My life! Yesterday I survived on 2 Nobbly Bobblys because I was too lazy to walk to the shop. Let me tell you, cat food has never looked so appetising!!!
I sometimes procrastinate even for things that are fun. Like, I would say to myself: "how about I play assassin's creed 4?" and then I'd be like "nah, maybe later. I'm just going to sit here and stare at the ceiling for now". I swear I don't do drugs.
I DO THIS TOO!!!! I will LITERALLY sit there and not do the fun shit I want to do because I have more important things that need to be done but end up just fucking sitting there doing NOTHING.
Damien Brown I!
Damien Brown i think i might join it later
Do what I do give yourself motivation
TheShadowOfMadness I
"yeah I'll do that shit later" me about everything
Same XD
+suncutie12 sameeeee
this video made me appreciate still living at home lol
keviiiiin
i swear you're on every video how do you do this
Ikr I always see he's commented on videos
Having nobody to essentially force you to do things does cause quite a few problems... With a great lack of will to fix them...
So true.
Your videos are always so colorful. I love it.
Like her hair?
And overexposed
MarvellousMikeMan can't complain.
Literally and metaphorically colorful.
Also hi Repzion! Think I'll watch some of your videos next.
I was also just about to comment on how wonderful the colors are! :D
This is why you and Luke are perfect together...
This is quite possibly the most relatable video you've done omg. I moved away for uni and I'm flatting now with a few friends, we're all as lazy as each other.

I haven't bought a set of drawers for my clothes yet so I'm still living out of my suitcase... Yeah, I could go on for hours about our flat....
literally watching this as i write a paper worth 20% of my grade.
jeez you'd think i'd get it
well.... did you finish the paper?
yes, after eight months, did you finish it?
Rachel Lee it's been 9 months, did you finish?
Rachel Lee 10 months, You finish the paper yet?
11 months... Is it done?
And here we see a wild Emma, slowly, SLOWLY going insane.
AMAZING
At the end we all are crazy. Especially the Internet...
The internet is a deep deep hole of cray cray
with a lot of cats making dupstep
I like how colourful your pillows are.
GO TIDY YOUR ROOM YOU LAZY SON OF A BITCH, luv u.
Oh my xD
Daughte-... oh wait ,na you're right
hello miss Cherry
luv u :3
HII
Emma... you have described living alone to a fine point.
Beating yourself up just makes it worse. What works is encouragement and telling yourself all of the logic of why your life will improve if you do responsible things.

Richard Smith .....6 months? I've been riding that train for 4 years -_-
I like your videos, they actually are really relatable.
Also I like your couch.
Pro-Tip for avoiding people staring into your windows: Buy curtains. Or tell yourself "I'm gonna buy some curtains tomorrow!". Then procrastinate.
Some things don’t change - I’m still this person. Love you Emma.
Anyone else really like her couch, outfit and hair?
It looks like a subtle areal cosplay ... And I love it
DAMN U AUTO CORRECT
I am happy that your confusion about your "laziness" was explained to you so you can feel better about yourself and understand a little bit more on what is going on upstairs. Also Happy 1M!

Any video that you make about being lazy makes me happy. I am not alone.
I am that creepy neighbour
omg arent u that guy from tumblr
FantasticFishfingersAndCustard thats so specific cx
FantasticFishfingersAndCustard I started a Tumblr yesterday and have 8 followers. If you are one of the lucky few, then yes - I am that guy from Tumblr. Pleasure to meet you.
thesheepthatwentmooo LOL
You have seen her naked huh

Now back at home (because what even is money?) but now I do cleaning as my procrastination from actual work like uni reports and studying and crap...
Note to self..... must resist the temptation to spend all night watching emmablackery videos!! NO STOP IT, BOOGIE! STOP IT!!! lolz
i have been telling this to myself alll day
too late
It's 1:00AM right now I need to stop...
It's 9:00pm here and I know the feeling. rofl
Will Dunn same
What happened to Ask Emma 11?
People started stalking me.
Emma Blackery Well you did film it on your roof...
Emma Blackery From the roof? How did you find out they were stalking you? Did you just see a fan creepily watching you?
Emma Blackery
Anyone come up to your door or anything like that?
Emma Blackery haha lol are you gonna make a different ask Emma 11 :) ❤
Andrew the Ghost Dog: the next big summer blockbuster. It's a license to print money.
I stopped paying attention for a second or two and when I started paying attention again Emma was crying, eating, and destroying things. Ive never been so confused or felt like I could relate more in my life
Oh, past-Emma. You're not as lazy as you think, I promise. You're genuinely ill, it's not your fault.
You're not alone. I have been doing the exact same thing since moving into my own place. I 100% feel your pain.
"Playing with mah hamster"
*Hat Fic fans turn around*
Well, #emmaplayswithhampsters
Alrighty then XD
ssshhhhhhhh!! *whispers* No one should mention the dreaded fanfic
Oh shiiiiiit...
I had repressed my memories of the hat fic.
Until now.
I moved out of my parent's house at the end of last year and omg, I can totally relate to this. To me, being productive usually involves seeing how many movies or TV shows I can watch in a day. -.-
Dat flying Blackery kick tho.
Oh my God... I relate to this video every single freaking day...
This is the most accurate portrayal of how I would be as an independent adult
Wow the colors are so beautiful in this video.
they still make net curtains you know !
This so perfectly summs up my last two years of living alone xD before that I had 20m² and everything else shared with others but living on my own now brings out the worst in me -.-
your couch/pillows remind me of google...
maybe she does love google after all
I thought of a deconstructed windows logo :D
Sophie Grace
i thought google because of the white couch plus those pillows it looks like the white screen with the colorful google letters but i could see that too xD it does look like the windows logo
Allyson Wonderland I see it too :D
Fuck you google plus...
your hair is really pretty this colour
Thumbs up for a kickass intro! 😂
I've been living alone for the last 9 months and I tell you, it doesn't change, specially the "I'll do that later" thing
Yep, I feel you. My parents have been on holiday for almost 2 weeks now and this house looks like a dump. I will clean that shit later.
I can totally relate with living alone. I always tell myself: "You're gonna clean today, or go out and enjoy the beautiful weather, or do your homework early for once" and it never ever happens. I literally sit here and watch UA-cam videos all night.
My boyfriend thinks I've farted now thanks Emma :P
Tell him to #blameemmafromyoutube... my useless talant is wasted on u people trend that T-shirty tag... in other I used runaway... I got away (I think)
Stab him then he will never find out the truth
...he probably is getting a bllet proof vest right now...
Moved out myself this year. Can verify that everything Emma said in this video is true.
Yay, Tchaikovsky!
aww, I feel sorry for you! Good luck on tour
The fart noise at the end still gets me every time!!
I'm one of those people who wants to move out, but I don't have money and I am only 17.
***** You're 17 and still live at home? That's kinda creepy.
Morpheus How?
***** lol i am kinda in the same situation at 23 so now its just kinda getting a tad sad
You're 22 now, how that going for you?
I'm 17 now, funny I was 12 when you wrote this
I'M SEEING YOU IN ISLINGTON AND I'M WONDERFULLY EXCITED YAY
i realised you look a lot like hayley williams in this video with the hair and eye shadow
Isabelle T. yea, over her vidz she's looked like Haley Williams, Anne Hathaway, and Gennifer Goodwin.
OMG😊😊 I totally agree with you 👏👏
Bonjour fellow Phandom member.
Your apartment is really cute!
When I moved into my halls at University... This happened. Also, putting off my washing until I have to resort to going into town and buying new pairs of boxers... Yeah, new record there
I'm surprised by how much I love you now. The first time I saw you you had this bright pink hair and would talk angrily about your past teenage failures, but lately your videos have just been overflowing with your hilarious personality.

1:09
This was before she knew. I feel bad for past Emma
?
EvolutionOfNightcore She has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.Before she was diagnosed, she thought she was just lazy
Wow emma, the color coordination of you and your couch is so fantastic holy cow. Those pillows and your hair and make up, *whistles* that was awesome looking.
This video describes my whole life and I don't even live on my own yet.
I connect to this video on a spiritual level.
R.i.p ham 😔😞😟🙁☹️😣
So full of life... Thanks for bringing a little sunshine into my day (in a non creepy way!)
I got a Emma Blackery ad before this!!
WHY have I never watched your videos before?!
You could literally say anything and I'd still listen from here on out, your voice is excellent, like a woodland animal's.
Oh and I feel your pain, I've been putting off revision for waaay too long...
I can officially say
Emma's completely lost it
It gets better Emma! You will be fine, find a routine and stick to it!
**insert irrelevant comment about how your hair makes you look like Hayley Williams from Paramore that disregards the entire video**
omg that hair color is amazing
I like the yellow cushion... But is it dodie yellow?
This video is so relatable that I laughed and then I cried. People don't know how hard it is unless they move out of their parents' house. I still have things to unpack and I moved into my apartment 2 months ago. I literally see my untidy shelf and desk and say 'I'mma do that shit later."

Don't take your parents for granted, kids.
While watching this video, seeing how you live alone with your own apartment, I realized that... I've seen my own future 5 years from now -_-
Same here xD
Exactly.... I can see myself weeping over mayonnaise which is kind of disturbing.
emma your hair looks really good !
Could that neighbour be the one you flashed in your first week there? That could just mean he is hoping for another chance.....
Yup, I feel you.
he's probably staring at you because he realises that emma freaking blackery lives next door
Love your stuff Emma! Keep those videos coming!
Haley Williams look-alike ^_^
Yes. Just yes.
OMG YES!
Oh dear. I'm the kind of person who cleans up as I go.

get some nice modern wood blinds to go with your open plan kitchen ^_^. I should be an interior designer
i hate blinds, the gaps of light make my eyes go funny
philip theaviator close them then :P
Oh goodness, there are some bits of this video I can relate to currently (mostly when I'm living at college, haha...) and some bits where I'm like, "Am I seeing my future". This video is so perfect and cute! uvu
I live alone and write myself notes to do stuff. On my fridge atm "When are you going to fucking vacuum?" Knowing I will never vacuum.
I live in a 4bd apartment, and my roommates are rarely home, so I pretty much do exactly what you demonstrated, only with more crying and candy, and less believing my lies than just pretending to believe them
Laziness resides within us all
Its just really fucking strong in me
I moved into my student accommodation at the beginning of August. There is still kitchen utensils on the living room floor 4 weeks later...
Emma was definitely high while filming this
I can't believe how accurate and applicable this is to me. Living on my own has turned me into a monster.
Get curtains for window
I like the way your hair matches your red cushion
I bet the chips from the bag she ripped up are still on her floor.
I haven't even moved out yet but my parents went away for 2 weeks so I had to look after the flat, my older sister and our dog. My sister did absolutely nothing the whole time except make mess... I understand the pain of realising you didn't do something when you were meant to, especially when it's comes to cooking dinner when you still haven't washed up from yesterday's 😁

Lovin the Haley Williams hair!
How have you survived this long on your own...? Honest question.
I did this for three years, starting another study gave me something to give rhythm to my life and now I am more used to doing things. It's really something you have to train. But it's fucking hard and people don't really understand.
A+ on the appearance in the video! You looked fucking great, well like always but this time is was just a smidge more y'know? Yeah
aw, thanks!
+emmablackery I'd say for this period of you, best . But the later videos = awsomenessssssss . And I don't live alone but my parents are home like 2 hours of daylight.so I know what you mean
I love this hair colour
A spoon full of mayo helps the existential crisis go down...
I feel you Emma.. I feel you.
My life! Yesterday I survived on 2 Nobbly Bobblys because I was too lazy to walk to the shop. Let me tell you, cat food has never looked so appetising!!!
Gotts love dem Nobbly Bobblys
what are those candy bars?
No, chocolate and strawberry icecream coated in chocolate and sprinkles. So good!
OMFG made one these are fucking amazing
your hair and outfit combo makes you look like princess Ariel!
I can't tell you how much I do the lettuce thing too. Lazy student life.
I can really relate to this. It's nice to know it's not just me reaching this level of laziness.
Here's an idea... Get some UA-camr friends to help you clean your house and make a video out of it
The clean house challenge!
This litterally sums up my entire approach to life...
