The Ramblings of Elyse

Titles and names are the two weakest points of my ability as a writer.

Not that I am a great writer by any means, but I am really incapable of thinking up names and titles. When we used to have to do the creative writing part of English exams and have to write whatever the thing was, I'd try to either use first and second person or just look around the room and go on weird associations in my mind to get to names.

What that has to do with anything?

Well, I hate making up titles of blogs. I am just bad at it.

I'll Never Tell is the current song I'm listening. Yes, it is the Once More with Feeling Soundtrack and yes, it IS awesome. Thanks for asking.

So, I'm sure everyone here is thinking, "Why am I reading this again?" "Wow, Elyse, she is super insightful" or "What the fuck you mother fucker! YOU LIED! YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER WRITE AGAIN! How can we trust you again, you fucking motherfucker fucker!"

It might not have involved that much swearing, but I saw [Title of Show] last week and it features lots of swearing. The listening to the original cast recording hasn't helped with my swearing either. 

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

So yes, yes I did say that I wasn't going to write in here again and for a brief second that was an accurate statement.
I had planned to not write in here ever again.
However, I am not in the  same place as I was last week. I'd go into that more, but you know, that is not a conversation for the blog.
If you'd like to have that conversation. I have never been a particularly hard person to find.
Just saying.


You know, I can't even work out who that is really directed to but I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble for it.

So, I'm back.
I'll come and go, but absolute statements are foolish to make and I try and avoid them as a rule, it just ends badly.

In honour of my glorious return to the blogger realm, I present this clip.
Listen to it. It's good.

Yes, I have another vlog for you.

I actually did this one a couple of weeks ago and didn't upload it for some strange reason or I thought it wasn't very interesting but then I figured, no one has told me I'm uninteresting and it really amuses me. So enjoy.


There is another one to go up in the next or so.
That one features a preview of what's upcoming next on Elyse's Adventures Talking to the Camera.

Yeah, I'll eventually get around to making actual videos with proper editing and stuff, but you know, Lazy.

I think the begining of this is my favourite...

That and I love the screen caps of those.
I just want to know how to change them.


Enjoy.
Please comment. I need external validation.

Ok, I've been meaning to do this one for a while.

I actually did a draft on Saturday night, not on my computer...

It's not a draft if it's a video, is it?

But whatevs, enjoy.
It's not as long as the Spike rant and I'm not sure what happens to the video half way through, but it still has audio, so I consider this a win.

 Hmmm...
Reckon I could get the Co-op tetris video up here?

I'm gonna go no, because even though I am still delirious, I'm pretty sure in my delirium I did something that I will regret.
Not now because dude, delirium!

Seriously, you people need to comment to give me more material!

Ok, these are just the questions I was asked about my hate Spike.

The other video is just much longer.
I'm pretty sure this involves less swearing.

Also, apologies for the audio being crap, this one was just recorded on my laptop and the mic distorts at a point and can't handle my Spike hate.
I assure you, it bothers me a lot, so apologies for that.

I probably should have also edited the end, just to clean it up a bit, but that one was no editing, so once again it will be things that annoy only me.

Today, I got involved in a conversation with someone and it left me feeling, really, really angry and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Then I got to thinking what I was angry at.
And I was angry about the fact that someone was meant to have their shit together and have some stuff organised.
That stuff hasn't happened.

The bigger issue is, if you can't organise something, ask someone to help you. This is what being a leader is about. Seriously, fucking delegate. Basically, get your shit together.

I was pissed off at this, so very, very pissed off. Have we identified a theme?

Then it hit me.
I had promised to make my Spike rant into a video and I promised this sometime ago and had yet to follow through.
Thus, how could I be pissed off at someone for not organising something when I had been lying to people on this for so long?

So, I did it.
I set up my video camera and started ranting.
The rant goes for about 29 Minutes and 29 seconds. Minimal editing and I would say, very much NSFW since there is a lot of swearing.
There are also a lot of comments about my pants, but I am wearing them, so it's pretty much the swearing that is an issue.

I also need to add that I love the screen shot of that, I feel I'm about to fight ninjas or break out into a rap.

Yes, yes I am. Sorry gang.

That being said, when one of my friends die, I have permission to change his status to "is dead." I currently don't have his password, so the conversation then went to the fact his dying words will be his facebook password.

I don't have a plan like that.
Maybe I should invest in one.

Though, I'll just accept someone writing a blog about how much they hated me and how they are super glad I'm gone.
If it is a vlog that features the Final Countdown, I shall resurrect myself, high five you, punch you, consider eating your brains, and the return to my grave to rest in peace.

If you didn't get the song from Once More from Feeling in your head, I have failed as a person.

Which is my segue!
Yeah, see what I did?
Yeah, that's how I roll...

Long ago, I promised a Spike Hate vlog!

No, it's not ready yet, but day I had a promising start to this.

After having an awesome day of sleep, NHL and packages that feature cowbells! That thing is loud AND AWESOME!!
I started to play around with my computer.

What exactly did I do?
I messed around with recording stuff! Yeah!
Which is interesting since I was recording myself... That is just weird and my software is not the right software I need for it. But still, not the point!

After messing with recording, I moved onto finally uploading the video of Chris' wedding.
Which my favourite parts include just my commentary about various things. It is VERY amusing.

As I was doing this, which was a long process since my camera was deciding to not connect to the computer. I fixed it up.
Still having problems with my iMovie, but I'll move on.

I got there in the end and I came to the conclusion, that maybe to make my vlog about the Spike hatred I don't need my traditional partner in crime in these things AND NOT have all the writing reversed, coz that's important if I want signs for some reason.

So, huzzah!
Looking like this vlog won't be a Mary Egan Production... Or unless, I just still use the name when flying solo.

Now I'm conflicted.

Ok, I'll just put it for a vote:
Should the Spike Angry rant being a Mary Egan Production, a Double Thumper Production or it doesn't matter since it will be just Elyse in front of a wall talking about the hatred of Spike?

Ok... I'm going to have to include some dramatic recreations and make it a production...

Damn, that wasn't planned.

Oh well...

That's a tangent.

Have you missed it?

Brief preview of my next blog:

The Infamous Elyse Spike Rant...


Video Blog.
I'll talk to my camera man about it and see what I can get done.



I've had this rant with many people the most interesting person of note was a Priest who was a fan of Spike and his whole "redemption" thing.

If you want to ask some questions about my thoughts on Spike or you Buffy the Vampire Slayer in general, ask away and I'll include it.
