Shake It Off (3/1/15)

Starting a new month is always a good time to take stock. Emily has done just that. Having recently heard Taylor Swift's mega hit "Shake it off" for the first time, she has made a "New Month Resolution" -- Shake it Off. When she hears bad news, or really anything negative about the world, she just turns her head to one side and then to the other and...Shakes. It. Off.

In an effort to keep herself from constantly engaging in shake off behavior, Emily has compiled a list of things that are ideal to shake off:

1. Haters.

2. Foods that are not salmon.

3. Water. (on her body)

4. Dry Food. (with no wet food to accompany)

5. Catnip Drought. (also the name of a punk band she is thinking of starting)

6. The Rainbow Snake. (aka The Multi-Colored Devil, aka The Serpent of Sin)

7. Unexpected loud noises

8. Consistently occurring loud noises.

9. Human-caused loud noises.

10. Self-caused loud noises.

11. Really just loud noises in general.

12. The news that Scott Walker might be a viable candidate for the presidency.

13. Winter/the cold.

14. Snow. (As she calls it, "The Devil's Dandruff")

15. Those who say that Roger Federer is over the hill/will not win another Grand Slam. I mean, seriously did you see the way he handled Djokovic on Saturday!?! Come on.

16. Those who say that Gilmore Girls is anything other than one of the best TV series of all time.

17. Haters (those who are going to hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.)

18. Fakers (those who are going to fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.)

19. The news that Scott Walker might be a viable candidate for the presidency.

20. Human affection.

21. Human touches.

22. Human snuggles.

23. Human kisses.

24. Human existence.

25. Cast Away (an affront to cinema goers worldwide)

26. Things that wake her up.

27. Any and all other negative influences.

Emily displays the proper way to shake below. As always, her majestic movements are best viewed in Slow Mo.
