The Movie Of Your Life Is An Indie Flick
You do things your own way - and it has made for colorful times.
Your life hasn't turned out how anyone expected, thank goodness!
Your best movie matches: Clerks, Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite
I very rarely watch TV. However, when I do, I'm likely to watch one of the following: Frasier, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, The Colbert Report, the Food Network or the Discovery Channel. Oh, and let's not forget Arrested Development (on DVD), the best show ever in history.
Books
Anything by Hermann Hesse! Salinger, Steinbeck, Orwell, Marquez, Chekhov, Jung...plays, historical fiction, psychology, poetry. I love Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnets.
You Are an Auditory Learner
You tend to remember what you hear, and you have a knack for speaking well.
You excel at debating, foreign languages, and music.
You would be an excellent diplomat - or rock star!

Clubs: If it had anything to do with violin or theatre, I was probably in it.
I have extensive experience playing weddings and all other types of occasions where classical music is needed. If you desire a string quartet or other ensemble, that can be arranged. (To listen, visit http://myspace.com/horsehairandwire)
I am available as an extra or for small roles, and have some experience in these areas. (Most of my training and experience has been in theatre acting, and I am interested in this type of work as well.)
Need a violinist for your album, film score, or other recording project? I am experienced, reliable and professional. (Visit myspace.com/horsehairandwire for bio and audio samples)
Elyse is your friend Posted at 6:14 AM Sep 30, 2008 view more
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.
You see the world with an artist's eye.
Finding beauty is easy for you - even in the dullest of moments.
You notice all of the colors of the world, from fresh grass to sunsets.
You are a total optimist and hedonist. You love to drink life in.
Who I'd like to meet: People who defy stereotypes. People with interests similar to my own. Intelligent, creative people who think for themselves. People who know where to find a foosball table (and who don't mind losing to a girl - haha). Also, old friends who would like to reconnect. Almost anyone, really...however, I must say this: IF YOU CAN'T TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE AND SEND ME A COHERENT MESSAGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ME TO ADD YOU. Come on, let's preserve our humanity in spite of this little fake cyber-world we're currently floating in, shall we?
Much love. :)
Oh my goodness! It's like we're twins! I just recently had the same profile layout (it reminded me of my very precious mood ring that I wear frequently) and LOVE 'Joga' by Bjork.
This may sound odd, but Bjork makes for great holiday music. Reminds me of frosty trees. Hm.
That's sounds great Elyse! I'm so glad to hear things are going so well for you these days! If only I could hear you play sometime! But alas.
I'm working as a studio model, doing a lot of auditioning and producing a performance piece. We are submitting to some festivals overseas, so who knows!
Besides that I've gotten into volunteering as a reader for the blind and dyslexic which has been neat.
No significant other in the picture yet, but maybe soon? Eh.
Do keep in touch and I'll try to send you an audio book I'm recording for Christmas!
I think the website puts up random artists whenever you visit the page. Every time you refresh it it changes.
You're almost done, eh? Congrats! I love the cruiseship idea. It'll be a great experience (pretty Bohemian too)! Traveling sounds fantastic as well. I'll be visiting Spain this Christmas (first time in Europe!).
I was curious to hear what you were up to just 'cause I figured you'd be graduating soon and also because it seems like there's a growing tradition of UBC violinists coming to study here at McGill (Tally and Mira are both here...Mike the bassoonist is too if you know him). Let me know if you're ever tempted towards graduate school :)
Hey Elyse! I went to procallspro. com looking for a friend of mine and you happened to show up amongst their "featured artists" so I thought I'd swing by to say hi.
And I'm curious, what are your plans after graduation?
Thanks Elyse! Yes, we're trying to be the greenest violin shop since the time of Stradivarius. All the best to you in your violin career. Andy Fein Fein Violins FineViolins. com
on my birthday i saw that i missed a call from you, and i got a voicemail that was all static... i assumed it was you. =) no card yet, but i'll be looking. you know its matties birthday today, right? love you, see you in... 12 days!
Happy happy happy birthday!!! Press the more button to see more quotes...I was gonna go with something funny...but this is more my style today...hope you have a wonderful birthday and many many more to come!!
oh, and i forgot to address the whole quincy issue... actually, we'd be moving to soap lake, which is kind of a cute little place... matt's mom has a house there. there is a job opportunity at a winery in quincy that has won a james beard award (thats a big deal) and stuff, they're looking for a sous chef. anyway, its just something we were thinking about. BUT, if we moved over there, i could have a horse at len's dad's farm, and the house is RIGHT on the lake... there are some definite upsides. nothing solid yet, though, so unbunch yer panties. =)
yeehaw! wouldn't it be rad if samuel l. jackson (what does the 'l' stand for?) was on our plane, and said, "why are there so many mother fucking babies on this mother fuckin' plane?"
i hope she behaves herself. she wont, but i hope she does. =) i love you! family!
