did you know?

i thought i should tell you that i took the header picture (just up there) in paris, because then you would be impressed.

horray for culture

Thats what my boyfriend looks like

i hope everyone who reads this will be very jealous, unless you did what i did in which case...

WASNT ANDRE RIEU AMAZING?!?!!!!!

I imagine the responses as thus:

"YES HE WAS!!!!"

"omg jealous! lmao!"
"who the fuck is andre rieu?"

"umm...why the hell did you see andre rieu?"

Well, i was supprised too, but not really. you see, my sweet boyfriend plays the piano alla beethoven, strauss, chopin and bartok, and over the last 10 months i have spent more time sitting by my piano then i ever have in my entire life. he really is quite impressive and you should all be very jealous.

reccently, ive been ditching my scientific audio books (short history of nearly everything. its interesting sciencey facts for idiots.) to listen to chopin nocturnes all night. i dont know what happening to me! im becoming...dare i say it...cultured! Last night i cried as three tenors sung a tribute to pavarotti, i danced the waltz across the testra dome footy field, and i sung along to "tie me kangaroo down, sport" as it was played by a world famous symphony orchestra. then, on the way home i listened to beethovens entire 3rd, 5th and 9th symphony while me and Will planned another classical music outing in favour of a 20/20 cricket match.

i truely never realised just how beautiful music can be. Im sure you will all agree with me that there is alot of crap out there today, music wise, with playa's like soulja boy and bitches and hoes like the pussycat dolls tearing their loose and used up vagina's up the charts, and its easy to forget that music can still be beautiful. i was thinking today, after hearing all the amazing and poetic sounds coming from such beautiful instruments, that we will probably never come across anything and beautiful again. but then i realised that beneath all of the superficial, sell out junk existing only for the primal purpose to make money, is music just as beautiful and splendid as strauss' blue danube waltz! We just have to find it, and then hold on tight so it can never escape!

i have more to say on the matter, but i will conclude at a more appropriate time, as it is now approaching my bed time and i find myself breathing in such a manner as to express my physical and mental exhaustion. mmm yes, quite.

yeah im pompus now.

my strawberries

I've been wondering what i was going to do with myself after tommorrow (last exam, 9am) until my mother came home from shopping the other day with heaps and heaps of plants, and guess what i got...

MY VERY OWN STRAWBERRY PLANT!

im just so excited i dont think you could even concieve just how excited i am! its like i have my own little child, and i intend to be an irresponsible parent, smothering my plant in water and love and kisses and music while systematicaly sabotaging the others. Oh yeah, i forgot to mention she bought one for everyone (well, me and the other 2 kids) and since they have been planted in a straight line all next to eachother i can only asume it is a competition.

Its making me so nervous all of a sudden because my study window looks straight out the back alley thingy of my house, but i can see my strawberries and ever since they have been planted i swear i have been hearing more and more of those little sparrow things flying around and im positive its got nothing to do with that it is spring and there are more birds in spring...they are after my strawberries i am sure! Already the biggest one (not very big...it was still just green-white) got eaten all up the other day, so ive put toby (dog) on watch.

If theres any updates with my strawberries i shall document them here with haste.

eloise

ps sorry for the boringness of this blog

a little something...

In all my years of wisdom I've found something....people like free stuff and Im sure you do too! therefore, as a little reward for all your hard working in reading my first blog post, i have a little supprise for you....a mixtape!

because im too scared to post my mix on Arms Around, im putting it here where no one can compare me to summer or lucy (not ronan, becuase i had trouble opening his...wait...this is about my blog, not theirs!!!!) but i hope you like it and get something more out of it then just total devotion to Almost as Interesting.

click me for your new music!

theres a little typed up list inside the folder (because my handwriting is just awful, and not even that cool kinda quirky bad handwriting that defines people...its just shit.)

please keep in mind that i created this the night before the night before my exam, so my time was very very precious(...actually i feel a little sick now that i have done so little study) so please enjoy it and let me know what you thought or perhaps i shant bestow another upon for a long long time!

eloise

welcome, wont you pour yourself a cup of tea?

"rather, let me pour you one with my beautiful new tea set i just inherited from my mother! Oh yes, my sister was rather upset at her failure to sercure the china, however it is of no consequence for the vast majority of the fine furniture was bequeathed to her and i dare say to be sure she must be content with such an inheritence, however I do believe the soft leather couch would have fitted so into place amungst the decor of this house, do you not agree?"
Imagine if i wrote my whole blog as though it were a 19th Century conversation between two upper class socialites? But i wont, so there is no need at all for alarm! (but i actually am going to get mums pretty china and sister WILL miss out and be cranky)

So...my blog eh? Do i need to introduce myself or do you all know me? im hoping you dont, because that means that the only people reading this are my friends and i can tell them all this anyway. But i am better at writing then at speaking, so i guess this way they will get a more eloquent and articulated story. (although apparently my stories are "shit" and "go nowhere" and "have no point at all" but to my defence the lead up to the anticlimatic endings are quite entertaining)
So, i hope to see everyone back here every single day to read my shit and leave me comments so i have to motivation to keep going (otherwise i look like a pathetic and lonely person whom no one cares about and to be sure that is not the case at all! Oh ha ha ha!)

goodnight, eloise.
