Random Questions

I found this list of random (and very random) questions, let the answers begin!

Can you make a cake?
I'd like to think so! I love baking and deffinatly haven't had enough time to have fun with it or really experiment beyond my comfort zone but I would like to! Currently I'm still at the "following a simple recipe" stage but I like to think that when I bake the thinkgs I make are rather tasty, at least they never last very long before they are all gone! :)
What was the last album you bought?
I haven't bought any albums in a really long time but the last cd (which I'll count as an album) was the new Octopus Project cd Hexadecagon, which is insanely awesome!!! I love their sound! I also bought Starfucker's self titled album at the same time that day, these two cds are pretty much all that I've been listening to since and I'M NOT SORRY! haha ;p
When was the last time you got in a fight?
Fist fight? I don't think I've ever been in a serious fist fight ever, I'm not the fighting type, I don't even like to argue! Verbally the last REAL fight I had was in July, it was a good fight in the sense that it got many unsaid things out in the open and I think made things better in the end.
Where's the best place you've been this year?
hmmm, that's really hard! I've been to a lot of good places this year, one of my favorites being Annie's house becuase I got to ride horses and her family is so nice. but the "best" place? I'm going to say the rock shoreline in Racine that I went to occasionally when I took breaks at work in summer. It's my favorite spot because I love looking out on the water and basking in the warmth of the sun on the rocks, ahhh such peaceful times!
What's you favourite ice-cream?"
Instantly I want to say cookie dough or cookies n cream both of those are tasty. Truth is (Hello, My name is Elly and) I am a Ice Cream Addict. I love almost all ice cream, and actually have to make rules about how often I can buy ice cream and usually just avoid the ice cream isle altogether or I will buy some. I hoping though, to try some new homemade flavors sometime...like peach mmm!
Who's your favourite writer?
Tough! I have favorite books but I hate picking favorite writers because many are good in thier own way. For poetry I like David McWane, for series I do like the Harry Potter books but mostly because they are nostaligic and the characters fucking rock! I,I, I just don't know!
Did you ever play 'Dungeons and Dragons'?
I like fantasy book but I could never get into RPG card or board games like that, just to confusing.
What do you drive?
Currently I'm driving my Dad's Toyota truck, I don't like pick-up trucks but the cabin on this one is fairly small so I don't mind so much. It's a good truck, gets me to and fro and besides gas it's free, biggest bonus ever! The car I would like to have someday?....Honda Fit baby!
What's the longest trip you ever did on it?
Probably from Milwaukee to Menomonie aka home to school. I'm a pretty boring person I guess haha no, I just don't want to drive to far in that truck and have it brake down while I'm on the road. And it's just not a convient time for an awesome road trip. (p.p.s. I don't like driving that much either, I'm waaaaay happier being a passanger!)

aww no more questions? Because that was fun! I'll find some more and keep adding on!

Ultra Non-Special Blah Blah Blah 2

First off, Scare town was AWESOME!! I screamed so much and one time a guy was following me for a bit and when I noticed I took off running and he just kept chasing me until I eventually just coward on the ground and played dead. School has been keeping me overhwhelmed as usual and on top of that now Annie and I have FINALLY decided to go as Katy Perry (Annie) and the Mint Backup Dancer (me) from the California Girls video.

short post and nothing at all special but I'm bored in class because I forgot a template I needed. phewy!

Enjoy your day! as I will enjoy mine! (hopefully :)!)

Ultra Non-Special Blah Blah Blah

I keep meaning to write but either get side tracked or feel like I have nothing to say, which thinking about it I know that's not true. Hmmm, par events going on in my life, school mostly although this year I do have to say my social life is finally getting a perk! (which is sooo fun!) I'm hoping to be in two fashion shows this year instead of just one and in spring and hopefully I also have all 3 planned pieces to put in! I start my second job as Costume Shop Supervisor. I'm revamping my resume currently so it's ready within the next two weeks to be sent out to hopefully find me an internship!! (in California please!)Also currently I am playing intermural soccer (which if you ever need a good laugh, me playing soccer is one for sure!). Amd I just got promoted to Student Manager at the Library! whoo! (or should it be whew?) I feel like I have a lot going on while at the same time feeling like I'm often doing nothing at all. The closer winter gets here the more I realize that everything is just around the bend, internship, studio, graduate, job! (job!!??!!)Sometimes it freaks me out because I don't want to get a job I don't like and I don't want to be stuck in a dead end job either (which is my biggest fear right now.) I have the passion but not the portfolio right now so I'm trying to stick in extra design stuff and Annie is going to help me out with my business cards! (so happy!) Next year though I will be sad becuase Annie's going to Germany for the WHOLE YEAR! :( I will be living in a house with her German exchange student, and our friends Nick, Andrew, and Paul. It should be fun!!! (especially if the German a man, I'll be the only girl in the house hahaha) Once I get the pictures from Annie I can show pictures from the Rennesance Fair, we all dressed up!! So much fun! This Thursday a big group of people are all heading to this park called ScareTown so we can get scared hahaha!! I've never been to anything like this before so I'm super excited!

Something else fun, I went to a concert this last weekend it was The Octopus Project and Starfucker with opening band From a Fountain. Every band was really good and fun to listen to. I haven't been to a concert in so long it felt amazing to go and really this was probably the most awesome concert ever! EVER. It's hard to describe what it's like for me at concerts, it's someplace where I always feel like I fit in no matter what. Everybody is united by the music, so it's almost like becoming one entity or something. Having it been so long since I've been to a concert Saturday night felt like the first night I've felt ALIVE in sooo long. It was a deep breath after a long suffication period. There's something wonderful and inspiring about being in a crowd yet able to think about only yourself and the music. Your connected but disconnected, in a crowd yet all alone. The beat fills your body and the music fills your soul, the vibrations of the bass drum become more a purring sensation in the body. You can move, bob, dance, or just close your eyes and experience it. Music can become color. For a little while at least you can feed off of and share the passion of the musicians on stage. It's unexplainable and it's freedom. Starfucker (who I had never heard of before) was absolutely FANTASTIC!! If my personality could become music it would sound like Starfucker. The energy they put out was so different and fun, and the sound was easy to dance to but still good music! (why is that so hard to find these days?) I ended up getting thier cd that night and have been listening to nothing else since then haha.

It's strange, I can't pinpoint when it started I only know it has been a while now that I've felt, disconnected, like I was wrapped in a cocoon or more like shoved into one, one that didn't fit. Something in my life was off, something was strangling me. Sad enough I think it was myself, I was strangling me, trying to change myself by shoving me into some cookie cutter shape I thought everyone would accept. After Saturday I feel life again, screw cookie cutter! I have been able to step back and see what has really changed inside me and what I forced. I'm not sure if this is a new problem for me or one that been an undercurrent throughout my whole life. A part of me doesn't care, because now (at least right now) I am cured! I feel alive and active (although after 1.5 hours of sleep last night I also feel really tired)I am breathing, the air is fresh, and that is all I care about right now.
