According to behavioral analysts, serial killers and mass murders are less likely to kill a victim if disclosed personal details. So, on the off chance that any of my readers enjoy a little ax murder in their spare time, here are some important things about me.
I am 21 and a senior social work major at a large university in Southern California.
I work as the training manager in my university's IMT department, which consists of constantly updating oodles of handbook documents, as well as working to train each new employee. I'm super organized, which makes this job easy...and me a nerd.
I also work at Once Upon a Princess...as Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, Belle and now Cinderella. Although the hours are weird, I love getting to celebrate birthdays and other major events with families that I otherwise would never have met.
Next year I will be interning and eventually employed by Los Angeles County's Department of Child and Family Services. I'm not sure exactly what I will be doing, just that I will be a caseworker and probably extremely stressed and overworked, but happy to be trying to make a difference.
I want to make humanitarian documentaries for a living. This dream occurred to be after seeing the awful way that America has been reacting to events in our country and around the world. I think that the main reason that Americans have become so close minded to change is because they do not know who the change actually benefits. If the majority had a chance to watch an honest unbiased film about every day people and their struggles...who they actually are, not a stereotype or an assumption, then we'd be a lot less resistent to help those people. So that's why I want to make documentaries, to show who people actually are.
I am leaving for Israel on June 13th, and this will be my journal while I am gone. I am so excited to travel to the Holy Lands and bring all of my Bible learning to an end.
Welcome to my adventure...

First Impressions
First posts are always so awkward. Similar to first meetings, anyone reading this blog will subconsciously judge whether or not we can be friends, lovers, roommates, of just blog buddies, and all in about 10 seconds.
Well, let me tell you this now. I am worth more than 10 seconds. Give me 10 days at least, I promise I'll keep you reading.
Besides, I already have a handsome lover, grand roommate, a handful of great friends and plenty of blog buddies. So, the tables have turned, and you're going to have to be just as interesting, loving, and internally gorgeous, as they are, if you want some sort of relationship with me.
If you're still reading, we have made it past first impressions. Greetings! Welcome. Glad to have you.
You should know, my name belongs to me, and like most of my personal belongings, I like to keep it safe. So you can call me Ellie. Madagascar Ellie, to be precise. Madagascar because I'd love to go there, and Ellie because Pixar taught anyone watching that she was the girl looking for adventure.
My favorite season is Autumn, animal is sloth, and sound is wind. I love all forms of art, especially those found in nature. I am a content caffeine addict, poison of choice pouring into me from The Coffee Bean. I think that knowledge is power, violence is usually bad and every single person has a brilliant piece of goodness within them.
Now you know a little about me, and if it's quite alright, I'd like to know a little about you. Leave me a comment with your favorite season, animal, sound, and a random fact about yourself. I'd also love it if we could follow each other, and I'll electronically walk alongside you on your journeys as you walk beside me on mine.
