" right so i'm emerson franklin webb, son of edward and pamela webb. However most people just call me emery, i'm not fussy at all with whatever you want to call me. Anyway, i was born in buckinghamshire, england. My family has a distant relation to the royal family apparently but being practically six millionth in line makes it somewhat pointless, right? My parents are heavily evolved in politics, law and charity work whilst also being avid collectors of stately homes in the yorkshire countryside; where i spend most of my childhood in. My family are old money, as in generation upon generation have been well off but it doesn't really matter too much to me. It hasn't put me off anything, if anything it has allowed me a lot more oppotunities. anyway as a kid i was constantly trying to be as scruffy looking as i possibly could, hanging out in the barns with the jockeys, warming horses up before races or polo games, taking the dogs out across the fields etc. i've always been sporty in a way but it wasn't exactly my choice. i was put through rigorous squash and tennis lessons, both being family traditions to play eachother on christmas eve, and highly encouraged to participate in sports such as polo, rowing or rugby. england was great an all but i kind of just wanted something new, my dad always wanted me to go to oxford like him but i'd had my eyes on an american university for a while in boston. so eventually i packed up and went to boston at seventeen, of course my parents were willing to shell out however much for an apartment and to make it more homely since i hadn't really been away from people i'd known for my entire life but i wasn't bothered at all. i would've gladly lived on campus but my mother is someone who can't take no for an answer. there i met ella, who was sixteen and completely different from all the girls i'd known through out my life. after that i dropped out of university after a year to pursue directing and writing. long story short with me and ella...we eloped pretty young, with my parents supporting us all the way and that was that. i guess that happy newly wed moment has to fall eventually and it just seemed a strain to keep it up. honestly, i'd probably still be married to her if i'd had my way because in all honesty i do love her, but it's what she wanted and i guess it was right for us in a way. after the divorce was finalised i went back home to york for a while before deciding to come back to america just to see what else there is besides boston; hense manhattan.
