- New header! Somebody rub Sydney's tummy, k?
- The title of my blog, "existence of ellen", comes from the olden times, when I weighed 115 pounds, wore a lot of jewelry made out of chains, padlocks, and rosaries (you know, kind of Sid Vicious + Madonna = melancholy 80's college girl), and attended Radford University. Everything was called RU something or other. I lived -- and I swear I am not making this up -- in a big apartment complex near the university, called RU Living. Whenever I talked to my older brother on the phone, he would ask me: "Are you living, or merely existing?" I didn't know, actually. But, bam! A couple of decades later and it makes a good (?) blog title.
