And then my heart with pleasure fills,/ And dances with the daffodils.

Ok, so after only a few not-so-subtle hints, let me refer you, my reader, to my lovely boyfriend's blog:
  

"Stuck with it now".




Love goggles off, it is a really good blog and I will be referencing it heaps. We also expect to write interacting blogs/ stories from our own perspectives (thereby telling a slightly different version of the same story!) 


I will also add, both for my readers and for my boyfriend, a few words not of my mind:

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. 

William Wordsworth

Blog number one

So, I have started a blog. I am sitting here, right now, on my opp shop couch with my bed 'n' bath doona and my sweet boyfriend (who is also blogging as we speak) and am I writing my first blog.

Let me tell you the reason why I am starting a blog. I am starting a blog partly because I am a stickler to grammar. It's incredible: I get side-tracked with my grammar. I'll be writing a sentence and halfway through its enthralling content, I'll get stuck on whether or not it would be fun to put a colon in. But then I get excited. All of a sudden I contemplate how I could incorporate garden path sentences or how this preposition will affect the effect of my imperative mood!

Anyway, so I took my work off to my fellow grammar friend who edits better than I do (partly because he didn't write it, partly because he is better at grammar than me) (background information: I am writing a thesis on environmental refugees) who told me that I needed, needed, to write a blog.

He told me that I needed to write a blog so that I can put all my creative ideas and expressions into it and leave it out of my dry, academic thesis writing.

Around about the same time I started to put my opinions up onto my facebook page (with useful and helpful links) and decided that I have opinions outside of environmental refugees (my thesis topic) and that these opinions could use a wider readership than just my facebook friends (yep, that's a disguised shout-out to my super cool facebook friends, you know who are!)

So, I decided that I'd write a blog. I named it Eleanor the Professional after a cool movie I've recently watched called Leon the Professional. Leon has cool glasses and is a nice guy. The movie also equates to the coolness of Leon's glasses. 

'til next time, kiddos. 

Cool thing I found out yesterday that I will impart to you as knowledge: the last words that Vincent van Gogh said were: "The sadness will last forever". Now that ("the") is a conjunctive to consider.
