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.
