working hard

Well, I finally figured out how to edit videos. I have insane amounts of respect for the people I know who a) are film studies majors and b)create not-so-amateur videos like I did. Well, I'm still really proud of what I made. After the video, there is a survey of sorts (ahhh, I feel so middle school) that I took from the delightful blog of Annie. (I just realized I know a lot of awesome Ann's/Annie's, no joke)

White Blank Page from Elis on Vimeo The song is Mumford & Sons White Blank Page.

Age: 22
Bed size: Full. I think my room is too small for a Queen.
Chore you hate: Anything bathroom related. I guess the tub isn't too bad...
Dogs: Alex's German Shepard loves me. Her name is Zelda and she just loves having her belly rubbed. I also hang out a lot with Laura's Pit Bull, Sicily (or Piggy, as we affectionately call her) and my cousin's Weimaraner, Apollo. They're all technically still babies.
Essential start of your day: Shower. Showering is a must.
Favorite color: Robin's Egg Blue
Gold or silver: silver or white gold (agreed!)
Height: 5'4"
Instruments I play (or have played): violin, flute. I still remember violin. Give me a week with the flute and I could figure it out again (since I learned it initially in a week). I'm more of a whistler, anyways. Seriously, I could give Andrew Bird a run for his money.
Job title: Photographer, Student, Head Cashier, part-time Barista
Kids: No, I don't want Brian to recoil from my brood so I'll hold off for a looooong time.

Nickname: Ellie, Felis, Felisitaciones, Pinguino
Overnight hospital stays: A couple of times when I was 9. Always for my asthma.
Pet peeve: I have a ton! But I'll limit them to intolerance, rude people, and when tv/movie writers totally botch coffee terms. "I want a double cappuccino, no foam." Uhm...you just want a little bit of steamed milk with your espresso? "I want a white mocha, no chocolate." Uhm, what? That last one, I actually had someone order that from me and I died. I tried to explain it to her, but she really wasn't getting it.
Quote from a movie: "Ethel: Are you in any pain?
Richie: Not really.
Chas: Why'd you try to kill yourself?
Ethel: Don't press him right now.
Richie: I wrote a suicide note.
Chas: You did?
Richie: Yeah. Right after I regained consciousness.
Chas: Can we read it?
Richie: No.
Chas: Can you paraphrase it for us?
Richie: I don't think so.
Chas: Is it dark?
Richie:Of course it's dark. It's a suicide note." --The Royal Tenenbaums
Right or left handed: AMBIDEXTROUS! mostly righty, though.

Time you wake up: 6:20am, unless I'm closing on a sunday, then it's 9-ish
Underwear: under where? hahaha
Vegetables you dislike: Asparagus, cabbage, green beans, any kind of bean, celery...I realize I dislike a lot of vegetables.
What makes you run late: My hair! Or true crime television. I'll leave slightly late and then there are car explosions and semis that have to back up and traffic from nowhere...yeah. shit goes bad when I'm running late.
X-rays you've had done: My knees, fa sho. Also, chest xrays.
Yummy food you make: Give me a recipe and I can do it! Except if it has phyllo dough. That scares me. I make delicious apple cheesecake bars, chocolate toffee cookies, white chocolate amaretto cheesecake, cheesy potatoes....I just love food.
Zoo animal: My nickname Pinguino was given to me by my grandpa and I've loved penguins ever since.
