If I’d Just Get Rich and Famous, I’d be so Happy

Psychology professors at the University of Rochester research college students for 2 years after graduation to study the affects of achieving the goals they set out to accomplish. I’m not sure what it is about this study and this video that rubs me the wrong way, but while I’m figuring out how to put that [...]

Things Every 18-Year-Old Should Know

“When you’re 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when you’re 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you’re 60, you realize nobody’s been thinking about you at all.” — Daniel Amen Granted 18 was 9 years ago (ahh how did that happen?!), but I still found this [...]

Gen Y: It’s All In Your Head

This is a continuation of the in case you missed it series. This week in catching up on my twenty something bloggers I noticed a theme… I’m not sure if this theme came from the idea that this is what I’m focusing on right now in my life or if coincidentally (or not) Gen Yers [...]

In case you missed it: Gen Y Career Edition

I remember when I first started blogging a few years ago I felt like the internet was full of professional blogs and mommy bloggers. The hunt to find other 20 something bloggers was quite an adventure. I found a few on BlogHer and a few on MyBlogLog but for the most part there wasn’t an [...]

hi i’m elysa, betcha already knew that :-p The question is, do you know how to say it ...
eh (as in elizabeth) lisa - got it? just like Lisa with an E ok!


i have a weird love of technology. i am a blonde computer nerd (is that an oxy moron).


my favorite color changes every time someone asks.


i spend too much time on the computer.


i am a very easy going person, it generally takes a lot to get my feather’s ruffled.


my middle name is michelle.


i like to type in lowercase, especially my name


i used to be really shy but i think i might be over that (well maybe only a little). some people say shyness is due to lack of confidence but i disagree.


i love love love music, and when i find a new song i like i play it on repeat. finding new musicians is one of my favorite things about myspace. [MUSIC: WHAT I AM CURRENTLY LISTENING TO ]


i suck at sports and all things requiring athletic abilities. i don’t even know how to ride a bike, how ridiculous is that.


i support the military. i am on the board of the dallas based adopt a soldier. [myspace page & official website]


i have fabulous friends and a huge family with a very strange family dynamic. my friends of 6 years still haven’t figured out who is who.


i love to learn new things but i don’t really like reading books. i could read websites for hours but something about books seems to antiquated for me. nevermind you that i love to buy new books.


i love food and i love eating. i’d really like to eat every two hours but my work tends to interfere with that. pasta is my favorite. i even have a shirt that says i heart macaroni (thanks olivia!). i should weigh about 800 pounds for the amount of junk food i have eaten, especially in college (mmmm whataburger)


i am a pretty girlie girl, i love makeup and buying new clothes. if shopping wasn’t such a drain on my finances, i’d love to get a whole new wardrobe at the beginning of every season.


i’m not really a big tv person but i love movies.


i am an extreme night owl, in an ideal world i’d sleep til noon and stay up til 3 or 4 every night. but, as my dad says that’s not how the real world works.


i am a born and raised texas girl but i don’t know that i’ve ever worn a pair of cowboy boots.


even though i busted my butt in college to get a big fancy degree so that i could have this big career (graphic designer if you didn't know) i thought i wanted, i don’t really know what i want to be when i grow up. i do know that sitting at a computer in the corner for 40 hours a week the rest of my life does not sound like the ideal life.


i am blind without my contacts, i can’t see past my arms length.


im not a very enthusiastic person.


i love digital cameras and i must photoshop everyone in any picture i ever take (teeth whitening and blemish removal are a must).


i have a half brother who is the coolest, we are 14 years different in age but he is almost as tall as me. that could be because my dad is 6’5.


babies and animals are drawn to me.


i am a huge procrastinator and the queen of pretending to do work when there is nothing to do (even now)


i am pretty good at figuring people out. i know that i know myself a lot better than some people do.


i don’t remember my dreams.


i believe there are lessons to learn in every aspect of life.


so there is the randomness of me - i am a daughter, sister, fiance, friend, student, designer, and i am me.


ps- i can't spell, so hopefully you can make sense of what i wrote

Whoops! My "celeblogdom" comment was about the "yahoo" mention.....not realizing it was from 10/07....whoops! I tell people I'm the dumbest smart person they know, and I think I just showed it again. :D

Hey Elysa! Welcome to the Entrepreneurs group. What's your interest in entrepreneurship?
At 8:25pm on January 6, 2009, Tim said…
After a few minutes of perusing your blog, I deem it "awesome."

And it's okay that you can't ride a bike. I could when I was seven, but I'm not sure that I could anymore.

Hey Elysa!

How was your Christmas and New Year? And did the blogpost snatcher take down the post he stole from you?
At 12:38am on December 8, 2008, David said…
Wait, don't feel rejected just yet...

I still have to click thru, read AND leave a comment. I just haven't had a chance to do any of it yet - been a busy boy. You forgive me, right? :)

"i have a weird love of technology. i am a blonde computer nerd (is that an oxy moron)."

Say no more. That is enough to make me want to click thru to your blog.
