CAMP and Other Lovely Stuff

21 Feb

Finally, another video! Sorry about the lack thereof in the past month! Yikes! I’ve had some rather busy weekends, which is usually when I film, so I was happy I could record this one. I expect to have a video completely devoted to camp in the next week or so which I may or may not post on my blog. You all have a link to my Vimeo account (Contact the Human), so you have absolutely no excuse to be all “Ellieeeeeeeeeee, I couldn’t find it to waaaaaaatch it!” Anyway, watch this video! That I made! For you!

 

CAMP and Other Lovely Stuff from Ellie Shackelford on Vimeo.

Thanks for watching, love; I appreciate it and hope you liked it!

Much love,
Ellie
P.S. Special guests! Oooooooo.

Florence + the Machine and My Obsessions, Oh, Wait, That Is One.

19 Dec

Hello, my lovelies.
MUAHAHAHA.
I don’t know either.
I have just finished my English midterm final, and now I’m lip syncing in the middle of the upstairs are of my homeschool co-op/church/IT’S A BUILDING to Florence + the Machine. It’s fun. Not that it’s any different from what I usually do here.
I will not be seeing my classmates for a month and a half, I THINK. I’m not sure how exactly how long our winter wreak is, but it’s super long. Don’t worry though, I’m not just not doing English for that long. I’ll be reading my literature group books. And all that.
Okay, I think I’ve covered the rambling component of what I associate with my blog, what’s next? Hm. Hmm. Hmmm.
HEYHEYHEY, guess what? I had a Christmas party with my friends yesterday, whom (have I used that correctly?) I adore, and that was brilliantly fun, and thank you, Mom, for hosting that. Essentially, we did a lot yelling and screaming and laughing and singing along to Broadway and Christmas songs. ‘Twas excellent.
Oh, I like that girl’s coat. Ooooh, it’s pretty. It’s all red and pea coat-y and big, black button-y. Oooh, pretty.
Hey! The Doctor’s coat is lovely too! You know, the long overcoat one that’s all formal and beautifully amazing? Yes, you know what I’m talking about. Isn’t it gorgeous?!
TARDIS!
HOGWARTS! I really want to take a Charms class from Professor Flitwick. Charms sounds so fun. And Neville! I wanna take a class from Professor Longbottom! And MCGONAGALL!
I really want to know where my letter is. It should have been here two years ago. Harrumph.
-sings Florence + the Machine-
Okay, even though I will have nil to do after I post this, I will post it because it’s getting long and random and silly and I’m going to start being boring really soon. So. Um. Bye.
Wow, I really don’t have anything to do. Hm.
Bye for real this time.
Hahaha, my nails are painted red. In the UK sometimes people call nail polish nail varnish instead. I want to call it that too, kind of, but I don’t think anyone will know what I’m talking about. Well, unless they’re some weird Anglophile like, what? Who? Me?
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Okay, bye. You’re distracting me from all the important things I have to do.

Technically, This Comes In Nine Parts

13 Dec

Hey-o, kids.
This post comes in three parts.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for all your nice comments and followings and stuff, it’s rather spectacular of you to do. When I decided to start blogging again, I didn’t think anyone was still reading my blog or would really give it a (bazillionth) chance, but I WAS PROVED WRONG. So thanks. Even though I don’t really like being wrong.
Oh, and newsflash, I just got my first-ever Vimeo comment today, and I was all like: *GASPITYGASPGASP* YAAAAY! -texts friend-
Second, I have absolutely no plan for this post, is bear with me through my babbling, okay? I promise I’ll end this with a point.
And third, the actual post. Which comes in five parts.
1. Recently, I have begun a journal of doodling. It makes me extremely happy, like my collages. They’re very similar when you think about it.
2. I am doing a Secret Santa with my friends and I’m (Hi, Mom! Thanks!) hosting it at my house. It should be really fun, but it’s sort of stressing me out a little bit because of the amount of people that have been included and the size of our house, and the people that need rides, and -sigh-
Let’s move on, I don’t want to concentrate on this right now.
2- I mean, 3. Today I babysat and it was really fun. We made snowflakes and listened to Christmas songs and sang and drew pictures and sword-fought and ate cookies. Then I went home and had dinner and took a shower and VOILA HERE I AM
4. I love tea so much, oh my gosh, it’s so good.
5. Talking on the phone is fun! It’s waaaaay more fun then texting. I can see all of you rolling your eyes and all that, and I say stop. Or I’m calling your mother. And saying you’re being mean to me. BOOHOOHOOHOO

Sorry this is a bit of a mess of the post, but this is what you receive when I try to post every day.
My point: I am a crazy teenage girl with no point for this blog post.
So long, comrades. I expect we will meet again in the near future.

ow.

ow. ow. ow, ow, ow. it is awfully hard to type one handed. i vow to try. i, quite literally ten minutes ago, jammed my finger under the seat of a chair i was sitting on. under the nail its bleeding, and it is pretty cut up. i’m icing it right now but its swelling and, honestly, it hurts so bad i want to cry. but i’m babysitting right now and i dont fancy the idea of any attention whatsoever from my lil cousin and siblings. not that they care, the meanies. : P oh yeah, and i cant knit either. wonderful. can i even flip pages of a book? its terrible all the things you use your hands for. >:( ill c what i can do about learning to use my toes.

ow.

Wowie-kazowie!!!

Wowie-kazowie! Ellie’s changed her blog’s theme!

Sorry. I just felt like saying that…

I do think the bright green is an improvement though, ::looks around at self, and nods::, it’s very springy, don’t you think? I think I’ll change the theme more often though. I mean, we do change clothes at least three times a day, why can’t blogs? Maybe I’ll even change the name that often…that would really confuse you, huh? Muahhahaahahaha….

Okay. That’s all for now. Have a good day, now.

:) Ellie
