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.
