So today, something big was revealed in the world of Supernatural and it sparked me to think; actually just how emotionally invested am I in fictional characters? My need for characters to be in love, to become friends or to come back to life sometimes makes me think that they're actual stories happening in the actual world to actual people. But they're not! Coming to this realisation is one of the most saddening things for an extremely emotional person as I.
I grow attached to characters as if they are my family. When I found out that JK Rowling was considering killing off Ron Weasley; I nearly murdered an entire family of innocent squirrels; and we don't even have squirrels in Australia! When Sherlock jumps off that dang building and John runs to the battered body at the end of Season 2, I swear to you my heart stopped and my eyes stung like a bitch. When Rose was ripped from the Doctor at Canary Wharf and had to say her final goodbye and miss out on hearing him say that he loves her...Well let's not even start on how puffy my face gets every time I watch that stupid episode. I bawl like a hungry baby when Frodo leaves Middle Earth; leaving Sam, Pippin and Merry behind. Heck, I even tear up when Crowley yells out about how he 'deserves to be loved' at the end of Season 8 Supernatural.
These characters have a way of worming their way into hearts and ripping them apart with one foul, evil, cockroachey swoop.
In this current world of Tumblr, Torrents and Canon Storylines, we as teenagers find ourselves corrupted by TV shows, movies and books so easily. We analyse simple looks between our OTP (One True Pairing; the people you wish to be together; for example, my OTP is and always will be Rose and the 10th Doctor) and make exaggerations about how it totally means they know they love each other. The writers could've just wanted the pair to look at each other or nod, but in our dramatic and fantastic minds, we make it out like it was the true declaration of their love and soon they will be running off into the sunset hand in hand with birds chirping and love hearts flying around their heads as This I Promise You by *NSYNC plays in the background.
We are a romantic generation. That's my conclusion to it all. And now, as blogs start to become bigger and bigger, writers of shows or movies are starting to take notice of what the population wants for characters.
An example of this is the addition of the "I'm mad for her" by Neville Longbottom about Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. Those avid HP fans; such as I, would know that Neville goes on to marry Hannah Abbott and become the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts. However, most people shipped Neville and Luna and I believe this is why the writer decided to add it to the movie. Sure, Neville may still go onto marry Hannah; but let's be honest, in the world of Harry Potter, they marry young! I'm a bit bitter about the Neville-Luna cross over if you can't tell.
The newest example of this is the events of today. With Jensen Ackles (who plays Dean Winchester in Supernatural) admitting to the fact that in the script of Ep 17 of Season 8, Dean told Castiel he loves him. (Though this didn't make it into the show, it's seen in the Season 8 gag reel) It's no lie that Destiel is one of the biggest OTP's on Tumblr. Pretty much everyone ships them and pretty much everyone thinks they're in love (Emphasis on the "pretty much" as I know not everyone does). The relationship between Dean and Castiel is one that most want to become something more; according to my generation, they need to become Canon. The Tumblrverse knew that the writers of Supernatural were aware of how much people want this human-angel romance to become true and even the cast of the show like to play it up. Jensen and Misha Collins (who plays Castiel) have even stated that they now act as if the pair are in love, incorporating it into the way they portray the characters and have never ruled out something happening between the two. The chance of something now happening between the two in actuality is causing almost chaos on Tumblr.
THIS IS GREAT! Bring on Season 9 with Human-Castiel and Dean saying "I love you" for the second time (hopefully!)
I don't really know what I've written, but I feel like I got my point out and can now go and sob about the upcoming 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who with 10 and Rose back together (HOLD ME), the regeneration of the 11th Doctor (HOLDD MEEE) and the inevitable return on Sherlock (MOFFAT YOU BEAST BRING IT BACK, DAMN IT!)
Thanks for reading my babble,
I'll catch ya on da flip side, gangsta.
Peace.

Some Rant-y Fun?
You know when someone says something to you and they don't even think about what they are really saying? Yeah well that happened to me last week and I literally can't stop thinking about it. Now, when I see that person popping up on my Facebook, I literally just want to slap them across the face.
I work hard planning, writing and recording songs and videos for my YouTube because I'm trying to get my name out there in that aspect and to have someone say that when they're famous, I can just mooch off of their popularity makes me feel sick.
First of all, those people who don't really have that much passion or work that hard on getting their name out there prove that they're not 100% committed to ending up where I want to be.
I've taken a year off of schooling to focus on honing in and developing my guitar, singing and songwriting skills and, starting next year, am going to devote myself to a 3 year course on the music industry and music performance, so to be told that I don't have to work hard, I can just be that person that becomes famous because my friend is famous really truly makes me angry.
To be honest, when this person said what they did to me, the first thing that popped into my mind was that they thought that I wasn't going to be good enough to become successful. I created this scenario in my head that they believed that in order for me to achieve what I want, I was going to have to get help from more successful friends and that just bought me down.
The worst part is is that this person is someone who would "make it" simply because they seem to have a good support base.
I have three solid viewers of my videos - not including my family -, one being my very best friend and the other two those supportive people who will always like and watch when I link my videos.
Other than that, the majority of people on my Facebook (not all, there are still others who will like or comment) ignore when I post a link to a cover or a vlog.
I've been making videos on YouTube since May of 2011 (To put that into perspective, that's longer than big YouTubers like Mazzi Maz, Caspar Lee, the Janoskians and Jacks Gap, all accounts that have subscriber numbers in the 100,000 to million range) and sure, my first ones were awkward makeup tutorials that were terrible quality and inconsistent, but I eventually began to put more up and more consistently. In those 2 and a bit years, I've only managed to gain 83 subscribers.
It makes you feel there's no point. I feel like my videos are ok and I take a lot of 'inspiration' from the bigger YouTubers, but I think that if I was seen as a more 'cool' person, my videos would have a ton more views. Things like this make me wonder; if I was to someday become popular on YouTube or live out my dream of becoming known as a musician, would these friends who don't really acknowledge my videos now suddenly decide I was worth their time? It will be interesting to see!
So basically, I lack the 'cool' factor. Which is true, I'm a dork, but I'm a dork who knows what I want however takes little things to heart, like what this person said to me.
I'm probably making it into a bigger deal than it is, but when someone says something like that to you, it's not something you can just forget about.
With all this said, watch my latest video!
Sorry, this was more of a inconsistently ranty post, but I didn't feel like keeping the thoughts in!
Thank you for reading, I love you :) :)

Long Time, No Blog!
Hey hey hey
So, first, I'd like to say sorry for not blogging for quite a while. I just literally haven't thought about blogging and the last time I did, I was in a very different state of mind.
I feel a lot better since then and to be honest, I didn't even realise that I wasn't really okay. All it took for me to feel better was to talk about all this things that had been huge weights on my chest and as soon as I had said it out in the open, it's like my life had a bit of purpose back.
To be honest, not much has changed since then except for my mindset and plans.
I have been busy lately writing songs and taking myself on little adventures around Melbourne. I spend a lot of time alone, but I love it and love being able to do my own thing by myself, I am so content being by myself, especially now that I'm not all down in the dumps about life.
I feel like I have so much more purpose and so many new ideas about what I want to achieve in my life and what I really want to get out of life and this has all come about from spending more time surrounding myself with music, singing and recording. I get such an awesome thrill recording a song and then putting it up on Soundcloud or YouTube to have people see/hear it and that's what makes me know that I want to do it for the rest of my life. You only understand what it's like if you have experienced something similar. Likewise, my main passion is actually performing in front of people.
I perform once a month at a local wine bars' open mic night and though most of my performance goes unnoticed by the crowds as they are there to socialise with their friends (I don't mind it at all), it's the times when I start a particular song that may be a well known one or more quiet, guitar-concentrated piece and everyone just sort of stops and listens, turning to look at me, those moments are the most amazing ones. Even if I sound like crap, just having people taking that time to turn around and listen to you performing really warms your heart.
Having instances like these really help you to want to work hard and concentrate on that passion and it has made me decide to go against myself a little bit and take that plunge into uni next year. I want to learn my passion even more, meet industry professionals, network and get myself out there, get myself known in the cliques I eventually want to be big in.
So since April the 30th, I've truly redefined myself, figured out what I want most and squashed out the thoughts that made me constantly unhappy and constantly feeling all alone in the world. I'd never been to such a weird place like that before and really hope I never go back to one like it, I didn't even realise how down I felt and it was all down to not feeling 100% passionate about how I was to spend the next couple of years.
Eventually, my main goal is to end up in London performing, becoming well known but as a very wise young man said to me, "You've got your big goal of London, but no goals of how to actually get there" (he didn't say those words, but he said something like that).
So I'm setting goals, my first major one, get into a Bachelor of Music course for next year.
My first minor one, continue playing at the open mic night.
Start getting my name out there and hopefully, one day, my dream will come true, but no dream comes true without hard work and determination.
If you read this, thank you for actually taking the time out of your day! If you are someone who regularly watches my YouTube videos, thank you because not many people take notice when I post them on Facebook and it's the special few who do that really matter. So, once again, thank you!
Hopefully, you'll see me blogging again soon :)

Y is for YouTube!
Hey hey hey Facebook friends who randomly read my blog!
So I uploaded another video to the lovely land of YouTube this evening and I think you should check it out!
I discuss the recently announced split of British boy band JLS as well as some other hard hitting boy band themed topics such as the hiatus trend, the depressing thought of a 1D breakup and the 20 year reign of the Backstreet Boys!
So check it out, even if you're not a fan of boy bands, maybe you'll get a kick out of seeing me all frazzled!
Thanks for reading, hot stuff ;)

Wow
I haven't posted in a week because I literally have nothing to post about. That is how boring my life is. Stupid life. Be more exciting. Get famous already.
Wah.
The most worrying thing in my life is that I haven't yet found another job and I'm convinced my dad is going to kill me. He's probably not, but you never know. Everyone I see around me has these looks in their eyes, like they're ready to kill. I'm ready to retaliate though, no one can kill me, I'm unkillable. Ha ha ha, go me! Team Elise, for the win...
How's life, keyboard? Is it rocking? I'm sure it's not, I mean you get smashed by eight random pointy things everyday, how is that fun!? I don't think it would be fun at all.
People seem to link insanity with unemployment, but I'm not unemployed therefor I'm not insane! HAHA TAKE THAT!
Oh god, massive deje vu. WOW IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO TYPE THAT I HAD TO GOOGLE IT. #reckless.
So, anyone want me to perform at an event for them? I play guitar or piano and I'll play anything you tell me to or I'll organise my own playlist, but honestly, you want a live performer, you can have me.
Also, if you want someone to do your makeup for your deb or formal or something, I'm your man! Just send me a cheeky inbox on Facebook or text me if you have my number and I will LITERALLY POUNCE ON THAT JOB LIKE A LION ON A MOUSE.
Anyways, love ya, love me, love always, Sherlock.
I kid, it's me Elise!
SEE YAAAA

Goodbye
I feel like I'm ready to say goodbye to this boring part of my life that I've been living for the past 3 months. But I don't know how to do it.
I want to stop doing nothing with my days but start working towards my dream, but I don't know how to start...What am I supposed to do?
I watch countless YouTube videos of the girls of Little Mix doing sound checks/backstage at concerts and nothing makes me feel more motivated to do that then watching those girls, I just don't know how I'm supposed to get there and I definitely know I don't have the talent to get to where I want to be! I feel like I'm sitting here disappointing people by not having achieved anything yet...I mean I finished school almost 6 months ago and I feel like I'm still waiting for the plate to be delivered to me on how I'm supposed to get to the stage with my guitar and a microphone and an audience who wants to see me perform.
And the longer I sit and think and wait, the more I start to convince myself that it's never going to happen for me, I'm not actually good enough to make it...I'm just going to be one of those 45 year old ladies trying out for X Factor because I failed as a kid. I don't want that at all. And I don't want to enter a career in Makeup Artistry because I failed making into my true passion either. I feel like being a makeup artist would make me happy, but I'd never be truly happy, if you know what I mean. I'd always pine for the stage, for the audience, for the music.
So I repeat, how am I supposed to make it if I can't even think of a way to start? Do I just need someone to help me?
I want YouTube to be a thing for me as well, the desire to be a successful vlogger on that website has grown over the past couple of weeks...But once again that niggling in my mind says to me that I'll never reach 100 subscribers on YouTube, let alone hundreds or thousands and that is something that dampens my happiness a little bit everyday.
I'm scared...is pretty much what I'm saying. I'm scared that I'll end up being a middle aged woman with no husband, no dreams reached and no true happiness.
So if you have any words of advice or wisdom, please inbox them to me on Facebook or Twitter or wherever you feel like. Please. Don't be too scared to if we don't talk ever, just send me words of wisdom to help me...Coz right now at 10:31 on the 10th of April, 2013, I feel lost and unsure of what to do and how to go about achieving my dreams.

MLIB or My Life is Boring
Sup Gangstas.
So I know I said I wanted to try and blog everyday, but as it turns out, my life is actually so boring and uneventful that there is literally no reason at all for me to blog everyday. So I'll just blog every couple of days, unless I'm still boring!
So yesterday, (Saturday) I auditioned for Big Brother. A few people sort of looked down upon me for wanting to audition, but it's something I'd thought about doing for months. It was an extremely amazing experience, though I didn't get in, the casting producer pulled me aside before I left and told me that I was really, really good, just a bit young. She also said she wanted me to come back next year, which made me really happy. Like I said, it was an awesome experience and I wish everyone else who auditioned and got through all the luck in the world, hopefully I'll see someone I recognise from the auditions on the show!
I was waiting for after the audition (to know if I was going to be on or not) before I officially applied for my makeup course. So I shall do that in the next week and in July, I'll hopefully be studying and in December will be a fully qualified makeup artist, which will be amazing!
Other than that, I've been spending a lot of time at home alone and it's getting even more depressing than usual. I keep thinking about this one thing over and over again and it's starting to absolutely piss
me off, but I can't talk to anyone about it! It's the most tedious and annoying thing evahh!! Ya Feel!?
So I shall be off now, I've got a dinner date with my old friends from a production I did nearly three years ago and I'm looking forward to seeing those charming people!
Thanks for reading!

Work and Covers
Hey hey.
Not much has been happening for me. I worked today, which was fun as I had had a week off and I really like my work friends :) Though it was only a short shift, so I was home by the early afternoon.
So I posted it just before this one. And I feel like a douchebag but...All well.
Anyway, thank you for reading! I hope you check out my cover and I hope you had a good day!

Easter, Covers, Doctor Who, America
Sup Wingnut.
Basically.
For uhz.
If you understood that reference, feel good about yourself.
I understand that reference.
If you get that ^ reference, extra gold star.
Anyway.
So it was Easter yesterday (duh..) so that was great! I didn't really do much, just chilled out in my sanctuary and watched Breaking Dawn, coz I'm feeling romantic and want a boyfriend like Edward...Minus the creepy watching you while you sleep, looking pained and brooding all the time and being a Vampire..Actually, I don't want a boyfriend like Edward, he's not much fun. I need a boyfriend who is crazy and weird and laughing all the time so that we can be crazy and weird together and not feel like a complete idiot!
So just order me one of those please! Preferably with a good fashion sense, 'cause you just can't get passed a guy who dresses well, smells nice and reflects your personality just enough.
Oh and if he's British, or from the UK, that's just a plus...But I'm not asking for much...Just give me Harry Styles or someone very similar.
Wow, shut up Elise!
I hope you had a good, relaxing, bunny filled Easter!
Today, I filmed/recorded/sang/whateveryouwant a cover for my YouTube channel of Adele's version of Bob Dylan's song "Make You Feel My Love". I actually played the piano too, which is exciting!
I shall upload that probably tomorrow or Wednesday, depends but there'll be a post about it!
So Doctor Who started again last night with the new companion, Clara. When I first found out that Amy and Rory were leaving, I was devastated. Amy and Rory come just behind Rose as my favourite companions and to see them leave was horrible! At first, I didn't like Clara simply on principle (Actually, I should say Oswin, 'cause that's when we first met her) but after the latest episode, or her first official episode I guess you could call it, I think she's incredible! She's so like the Doctor that it seems to frighten him and I love that! She's so witty and cute and I want to cuddle her! I like the Doctors new outfit as well! It's cute and not to different from his original, which I'm happy about though I don't seem to like the new TARDIS interior yet, but I'll get used to it!
I was thinking how weird it is that the USA decided to take away "u" from words. Like why?! Is it necessary to change the spelling of words? WHY!!?!?!?!?!??!!?!
That's my rant of the day over!
I hope you enjoyed reading this as I certainly enjoyed typing it. CEEEBBBZZZZ editing and proof reading, you're getting it raw.

Basically.
For uhz.
If you understood that reference, feel good about yourself.
I understand that reference.
If you get that ^ reference, extra gold star.
Anyway.
So it was Easter yesterday (duh..) so that was great! I didn't really do much, just chilled out in my sanctuary and watched Breaking Dawn, coz I'm feeling romantic and want a boyfriend like Edward...Minus the creepy watching you while you sleep, looking pained and brooding all the time and being a Vampire..Actually, I don't want a boyfriend like Edward, he's not much fun. I need a boyfriend who is crazy and weird and laughing all the time so that we can be crazy and weird together and not feel like a complete idiot!
So just order me one of those please! Preferably with a good fashion sense, 'cause you just can't get passed a guy who dresses well, smells nice and reflects your personality just enough.
Oh and if he's British, or from the UK, that's just a plus...But I'm not asking for much...Just give me Harry Styles or someone very similar.

Get Ready With Me
So! I made a makeup video! Something I haven't done in ages due to the whole computer/camera/editing kerfuffle! Basically, I was going out...Outside? Something that doesn't very often occur with me these days. Anyway, so yeah! Here's the video:
A ramble about some of the products I used:
Well, let me tell you a little about the wonderful, fabulous, dear, darling, amazing, awesome, incredible and fantastic Maybelline Colour Tattoos! I'm officially obsessed and I'm not afraid to admit it! They are truly amazing. The concept is meant to be like the MAC paint pots and they definitely provide competition to that more high end brand...Well, to be fair, I've only really tried one paint pot and in comparison to the tattoos, there isn't really much difference!
Another product I wanted to talk about is something I bought the other day. It's the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I haven't been able to give a full decision on the foundation yet, as I haven't worn it for long enough to see how it wears, however my first impression of the product is that it has a really nice consistency, more medium coverage rather than full. I didn't realise when I put it on that it actually has SPF 18 in it, so it is probably more of a day-time foundation due to the medium coverage and SPF. My initial decision is that I like it, however I have to wear it for a full day to find out how it wears to make up my mind fully!
So I shall stop rambling about the tattoos and foundation now and tell you what I used!

Nivea oil-free moisturiser
Smashbox Light Primer
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 081 Fair Ivory
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
Bourjois Concealer in 52

Nick Grimshaw, Rants and The Sims 3
Today was extra special. It was Good Friday!
And it got me thinking, how can this Friday decide that it is "Good" compared to all the others? What did it do to deserve such a fabulous title! (I realise that there is a religious reason behind it...but #YOLO...)
Anyway! So today I woke up after a failed trip to a club last night (the lines to get in were ridic, so we just went home hahaha living the thug lyfeeee here!) and got my wee little bum out of bed to enjoy a hot cross bun and coffee! After that I sat myself back down in my glorious bed and played like 4 hours of the Sims...I created a very sad family (Sad because of what I called the two of them, not because they were sad...In fact they were the complete opposite!) and wrote a ranty blog post!
Now I'm sat here about to edit a video I filmed yesterday and then probably have a shower and pop myself into bed!
Before I leave, I'd just like to mention that I think Nick Grimshaw is actually incredible. If you don't know who he is, then let me tell you! He's a radio host for Radio 1 over in England and is sort of like Hamish and Andy (But...only one...If ya feel me). He is amazing! I've always known that he was great, but I don't know, today just sort of showed me how hilarious the guy actually is!
Anyway, I'll be off now!
I hope you all had marvelous days and have a good Easter weekend ;)

Ed Sheeran and a Rant
I often like to believe that one day, just maybe, I'll be
dubbed as the "Female Ed Sheeran".
But as I sit here listening to him, I've decided that,
for today, I don't want that title. I don't want to be compared to Ed Sheeran
and I don't think anyone should be compared to Ed Sheeran.
He is on his own scale; no one can really get to
that level that he is on. It's reserved for him and him alone.
The man is incredible. Similar to another
singer/songwriter out there (whom, for reasons I shan't name), he writes about
past relationships however different from the other, he doesn't bash his ex; he
doesn't make them seem like they did wrong and he was innocent the whole
time.
The way he beautifully writes without shaming the person
is incredible and inspiring. Even if it was a bad ending to the relationship,
you don't have to bash them in a song, especially if you are extremely famous
and loved worldwide. I feel like, if you're going to write a song about a past
relationship, you write about the good things that occurred, it might help you
feel better about the break up, or not...It just seems to me like it's
pointless to dog the person you once decided to spend time with or even
loved. If you have the ability to write beautiful lyrics and music,
wouldn't you want to use that skill to write more meaningful songs? That's what
I feel Ed Sheeran does. He has this incredible talent with words and he knows
how to use it. Even with the songs he gave to One Direction, they're still
beautiful and mean something to him.
Moving off from Ed Sheeran now, otherwise I'll get
carried away.
Something that annoys me about the music industry and
critics etc. is how more pop bands/singers aren't taken seriously. I'm not that
into pop music, I enjoy the more acoustic genre; however it is no secret that I
am a massive fan of One Direction. So, it irritates me how disregarded those
boys are. They each have incredible voices, if they didn't, they wouldn't have
even been considered to do the live auditions of X Factor by the producers in
2010.
I don't think many people realise that to actually get
onto the televised auditions of any singing/talent shows, you have to make a
massive impression upon the producers of the show at an earlier, more private
audition. Sure, they put some acts whom have little talent through for humour purposes
and to make the show that little bit more appealing.
Anyway, back to One Direction. People who really know nothing
about the band apart from that they were put together by Simon Cowell like to comment on how overly publicised and
managed the boys are and enjoy believing that they only use auto tune to create
their music, the boys actually having no real talent. I’ve observed/noticed
that some of these people may then look up the boys and actually listen to them
live and watch some of their video diaries and they can’t help but like the
boys. It’s because they are as real as stars can get. Sure, they waste a lot of
money these days getting tattoos, but they’re not big headed, they haven’t got
massive egos and they are as down to earth as the person next to you. But
because they are a “boy band” they get harshly judged and are often taken less
seriously than others out there.
Is this simply because they don’t really write their own
songs? Because the amount of singers out there these days who actually write
their own lyrics or music is so limited that it seems more lucky when one like
Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift; who do write their own content, pop up. So to judge
them on that and then say how much of a fan you are of Beyoncé or Nicki Minaj’s
songs is a bit hypocritical…Beyonce’s song “Run the World (Girls)” had 6
writers and 4 producers, Queen’s song Bohemian Rhapsody had 1 writer (with the
assistance of his fellow band members) and 1 producer. I’m not dissing Beyoncé
or Nicki Minaj at all; I just can’t seem to see how they are taken seriously
when One Direction are not.
I think that all musicians, whether they write their own
songs or not, should be taken seriously. It is one of the hardest businesses to
break into, so recognition for actually being able to get a song played on the
radio or to bring an album out should be received to all!
So the boys of One Direction are a boy band? How does
that offend music? Their songs are light hearted and harmless. And don’t say
they won’t last long because they were put together by someone else. The
Backstreet Boys were put together ten years ago and they are still going strong
to this day. Sure, they had breaks during these past years, but they are
together today and making music and touring.
The amount of chemistry between the boys of One Direction
is incredible and will help the boys to stay together, not to mention their
contracts…
Another thing I question is this; when did it become necessary
to be able to play an instrument to be called a band or artist? Some people
just want to be singers, so why do they get judged if they don’t play the
guitar or piano? I hate it when people say to me, “Tell me, how many members of
One Direction play instruments?” in judgemental tones. I always reply with “Niall
is amazing on the guitar, having been playing for most of his life and Harry is
now learning and Louis and Liam play the piano,” They always, without doubt
answer with “Oh, Harry’s learning the guitar now, ha. Ha” Yes, he is, but he’s
a singer and trained in singing. It’s not easy to get up on stage and belt out
an hour and a half worth of pop songs. The amount of vocal training these boys have
to go through is incredible. Since the start of this year, I’ve learnt to
appreciate just how much work goes into training the voice. Rigorous exercises
to help balance the vocal chords need to be done every single day, more than
once, in order to get your voice prepared. Learning to sing is just as
complicated and time consuming as learning to play an instrument and I have
experience in both vocal training and instrument training, it took me 10 years
to get my piano to the level it’s at and two of guitar and I’m still learning
every day.
People judge too easily these days. Most don’t even give
singers a chance; they just dub them as “auto tuned” or “crap” without actually
listening to their songs. Sure, most of the songs played on the radio these
days are all light hearted, lovey dovey songs, but that is what is in high
demand these days. Singers like Justin Bieber and the boys of One Direction are
labelled as “gay” for no reason…It’s such a tedious and immature way of
bullying. Who cares if they are gay? If they are, it shouldn’t matter or change
anyone’s opinion on their music and it definitely shouldn’t be seen as an
offence thing to be called.
But you’re judging their personalities without knowing a
thing about them and I’m so sick of that! To be fair, I’m not the biggest fan
of the Biebs, but I didn’t just wake up one day and say “I don’t like that
Justin Bieber, he seems bad,” I actually watched some of his videos and
listened to his music and it wasn’t up my alley! And that’s fine! I don’t go
and diss the kid for no reason. Not everyone is going to like your music, or
your art, or you work or the way you play football. If you don’t like
something, you should just leave it at that and let that person get on with
their life while you get on with yours. But the thing to do these days is to
apparently bully and waste your own time abusing the person you dislike.
I’m going to stop typing this now, as it went from being
a nice little chat about Ed Sheeran to a rant about the music industry…
But if you read this, thank you for reading and I hope you
didn’t get too bored.

A Day at Home
Well hey, hi hello!
Today was a fairly uneventful day. I woke up and went out to buy a laptop cooler mat thingy to help prevent my laptop from overheating! Other than that I filmed and edited a video (successfully!!! YAY!) and chilled around.
BORING!
Right now I'm watching Supernatural and waiting to go out to a club with ma friend-a-loons!
So...That's it...Imma link my YouTube the video here: My YouTube Video!
So last night, I was having trouble going to sleep and as a result, my brain was ticking away at random thoughts. I ended up turning my laptop on and writing a detailed post about something on my mind. I don't know if I have the courage to post it...Maybe I will one day! We'll see!
So thank you for reading, you're the best! I hope you had a good day and are excited for overeating over the Easter weekend!
Smell ya later :)

Work, Laptop and Supernatural Funnies.
So here we go! Officially day one of blogging.
Today started in the early hours of the morning, with my shift at work starting at 8:30. When I got there, it seemed that the rule of the day was to wear bunny ears as it is Easter this weekend and I jumped on that band wagon faster then you can say Quidditch. So my short, four hour shift was a bundle of laughs with the bunny ears remaining in their position atop my glorious head the whole time! It was one of those shifts that make me happy that I work in such a friendly and easy-going environment with awesome people surrounding me! I'm pretty lucky with that :)
After work, I met up with my charming mother for lunch and to pick up some stuff from the shops before returning home to my wondrous haven of a bedroom. After an episode of Supernatural, I decided to finally figure out what the Hufflepuff is wrong with my laptop. It has been crashing a lot over the passed few months and it has started to become as tedious as Snape's long pauses (evidently today is a day for Harry Potter metaphors...I accept this). After a while of researching, reading and becoming frustrated, the conclusion was made that it is just over heating and that I now need to buy a cooling pad for it. Yay! More money gone!
Ever since then I have been watching Supernatural gag reels/bloopers, starting from Season 1 and working my way through. Wow, those lovely guys are truly the weirdest and most amazing pair I have ever seen. If you watch Supernatural and haven't watched any gag reels, please, I beg of you, go onto YouTube and search them...Your life will forever be a brighter and better place!
It is now that I realise just how boring my day actually was...I thought that I would have more to report but, basically...I'm boring...
One good thing (well more than one, but...whatever) did come from today; I resisted a trip to Priceline. This is a big, big thing for me. Priceline is my downfall and I waste far too much money buying things I don't necessarily need (I somehow all practically all the Maybelline Colour Tattoos...Yet I only really need three of them. They are incredible though, seriously, check those babies out, they're cheap and fantastic quality!).
Emma, if you're reading this, you should feel proud of me right now!
So that is it for today, I guess. Like I said, boring, very boring, but #YOLO. That's right. I went there. Bow at my feet, peasants.
Oh god, I am so sorry about that, it was my "hipster" side popping it's unruly side-fringed head out to say "sup".
Wow, now I'm generalising. High five Elise!
Catch ya on the flip side!

Back again!
So, a couple of years ago, I had a trusty blog that I
would come to and write pointless and silly posts about anything on. After
deleting it out of a random desire to move onto bigger and brighter things
(A.K.A Tumblr....That website has ruined me...Just kidding, I love it more than
life...) I have decided to return to a blog that I actually write things down
on instead of just "reblogging" pictures of One Direction, Doctor
Who, Supernatural and other random funny things that pop up on my dashboard.
To make things even more interesting, I want to see if I
can blog every day, kind of like on YouTube when people do a vlog every day.
Similar to that, I'll tell you about things that happened in my day and put
pictures of things that entertained me. In between this everyday blogging, I
may put up some reviews of makeup products and do other random posts about
things that intrigue me.
With that said, let me tell you a little of my life
story.
So, my name is Elise and I am 18. Born in the sprightly
month of May in the charming year of 1994, I graced my parents with the
glorious task of dealing with the utter craziness that was to come about from
this small, ugly baby that I was. Having a pretty fantastic childhood, full of
a loving family, opportunities to pursue many different things including
netball, dancing, drama and piano lessons; the latter three contributing to my
massive love and enjoyment of the performing arts.
I was an extremely lucky kid, receiving no worrying or
completely stressful events occur, even to this day.
Throughout my entire life I think I always knew that my
desired career would be something to do with the arts, more predominantly the
performing arts. Acting was always something I enjoyed so much and still to
this day have never experienced anything that matches or out does the
exhilaration, excitement and comfort I feel when I am on a stage in front of
many people performing.
Throughout my high school career, I performed in front of
the school community and it just cemented in my mind that this was something I wanted,
or even needed, to do for the rest of my life.
When I was 16, I picked up my dad’s guitar and decided I
wanted to play it. After a year of half-hearted self-teaching, I finally
decided that it was something that I needed to put more concentration in as
there was nothing like being able to pick up a guitar and play it, much more convenient
that taking a piano everywhere you went.
Maybe, the ease of which I started to pick up skills was
due to the nearly 10 years of piano lessons I had received, the knowledge of
chords and melodies helping to quicken the learning process, however i seemed
to find it quite simple to learn the guitar and slowly but surely, my passion
for the wonderful instrument grew.
I am still learning new and exciting things about the
guitar and slowly improving, probably helped by the fact that I play it every
day at least once for long amounts of time.
After singing untrained for 18 years, I finally decided
to get singing lessons and, since the start of this year (2013), I have been
receiving fantastic vocal lessons, already improving my balance and knowledge
of singing immensely.
Once again, when I was 16, I decided that I wanted to
learn how to do a fishtail braid. After searching on YouTube for tutorials for
the wonderful hair trick, I become extremely intrigued by makeup tutorials. I
started watching a fishtail braid tutorial by a YouTuber by the name of Loepsie
and continued on to watch all these different sort of makeup looks.
Three years later, I have grown a huge passion for makeup
and the artistry behind it. Many people don’t seem to realise just how
incredible makeup truly is, they don’t seem to grasp that these products are
massive and there is a huge industry behind applying products.
Makeup and performing now are the biggest parts of my
life. I can’t leave the house without having my brows down and mascara on. I
also can’t survive a day without belting out a random tune and playing that
wonderful six stringed instrument!
Ever since I was little, I have had this obsession with
London and the UK. My desire to move to London became stronger when I was 14,
writing “London in eight years!” or “London when I’m 21” all over my school
folders. My desire back then was to move there when I was 21 and to this day, I’d
still love to be there by then.
People think that I won’t like London, however to them I
say, let me figure that out for myself. But I think that, I’ve wanted to move
there since I was little, I think I’ll love it no matter what simply because I’m
there.
Britain seems so intriguing and beautiful to me, the
weather certainly suits me more than Australia’s!
So hopefully, one day I’ll be blogging from that
wonderful city, enjoying performing in pubs or even having recorded my own
album!
So, that’s the main things you need to know about me. I
know that was a lot and if you read it all, then thank you, I consider you a
true friend if you stayed to the end.
I hope you read my blog and enjoy finding out about my
day!
Also, I have a YouTube account, for vlogs, covers and
sometimes makeup related videos! It would make my day if you subscribed!

So thank you once again for reading and I hope you learnt
a little more about me.
