Welcome to eloquensa! Currently masquerading as a newspaper hot off the press for want of a better idea, the story behind this edition of my world is a fairly simple one. In order to unfold it, one need only use the navigation above. Some articles will be viewer censored, and all commenting is only available once registered and logged in.

I'm Melissa; pretend journalist and currently real-life accountant wannabe. I used to be a kid in highschool, but I've since kicked the habit. At 18 years of age I'm just moving through life, enjoying my free-time and earning lots of money whilst still living with my parents. Continued on page 2...

Appearances

“Run away, run away tonight. It ain't no victory but I don't care, I don't care if it's wrong or right. We can just run away, run away tonight. It ain't no victory, but I don't care. I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care. Runaway Live - Runaway”

Appearances can be extremely misleading, and so very often lately I’ve found this to be the case. Certain people that I spend time with seem to feel the need to reinvent themselves, be someone other than who they are to gain popularity and/or acceptance. Why put on the show? When everyone finds out the truth about you, you’re only going to look like even more of a dumbarse than you do to me right now. You’re acting like an egocentric guy (not that being a guy is anything bad to be, but this behaviour is more typical of a male), and what you think you should be praised and admired for isn’t all you think it to be. If you actually are telling the truth, you must certainly have little to no self respect whatsoever, and that only results in pity from those who think you’re worth pitying. Get over yourself, and actually be yourself - people will like you more when they know you’re for real.

Mysterious and inconclusive advice aside, I’ve had a fairly rough last week. :P A recurrence of last year’s sickness which left me at home for 3 days and feverish, and then later on my right eye being an irritation due to its handy ability to flare up and hurt for hours (that eye has too much pressure in it). I’ve slightly organised to go to the movies with Elyce this weekend, most likely to see The Passion of the Christ. It looks like it’ll be a really interesting movie, controversy aside. But in the event that we don’t get to see that, I want to see Underworld again. :P Now that was a good movie. I was a little reluctant to call it a good movie at first considering the main reason I liked it was because of the main character’s awesome black leather boots, but now I’m just needing to see it again because of its overall coolness. It’s kinda like one of those songs you THINK you don’t like, but then they’re stuck in your head for the entire day and you have to listen to them again.

Ever had one of those days where you just don’t want to do anything but stay nice and cosy in your bed, not because there’s anything in particular that you don’t want to face, but more you don’t want to find out whether today’s going to be another dreary day? I’ve had lots of those lately. School has lost its touch for now; when I first started again it was great, and I was all excited about the new year and having a new school diary to decorate (I have issues, okay? :P).. Now it’s just boring. The only subjects worthwhile are Latin and geography, and that’s saying something considering geography is usually on the bottom of the list. Ah well, that’s life for you.
