Basic Information
Name: Eilidh.Get it right: Eilidh is Gaelic in origin, which in turn originates from Scotland and Ireland - both countries reknowned for their eccentricity, probably explaining... well everything. It's pronounced like Hayley, without the 'H' at the start, or like Ellie, with an 'ay' aound at the beginning. Still two of my teachers enjoy calling me 'Eelid' and 'Eyelie'. Pleasant.
Hometown: Prestwick, in Scotland. I lived there for 11 years, and I must say, it was a pretty good place.
Currently Located: in Perth, Western Australia. Hrm.
Aged: 16. Won't be blowing out more candles til February 3rd.
Year at School: Year 12 - last one [Changing education systems causes year-skipping].
In a Few Words: Sarcastic, blonde, excitable, nerdy, impatient, indecisive, a worrier.

A Little Bit More
The following is an example of one of my major failings, I always write too much feel quite free to skip on through this v v long blurb.I am eilidh. Which for some reason or other, in an online forum is never Eilidh. Just eilidh. ay-ley. I read a lot of myspace profiles to sit and think about how ridiculous people sound, I just hope this doesn't seem pretentious.
I sometimes like to think of my life as one big TV show, a theory I often share, and this could possibly be a reflection on just how involved I am with the world of fiction. I'm a bit of a dreamer, and though things never play out as well as they do in my mind, it's quite a happy place to be sometimes.
I think it would all make a decent TV show to be honest, although I have my concerns that if my life really a weekly hour-long-installment type teen drama, it has majorly jumped the shark in the last few months. I think I'm about to get cancelled on account of some erratic storylines, character hopping and questionable actions.
In want of a general synopsis, the life of eilidh TV show is dominated by symbolism, metaphors and codes, along with the conflict of faith, fate and a need for control. [Does sound rather like an English essay here, doesn't it?] Quirky occurences in life can become 'signs' that I joke about with my friends and the smallest things and objects can be symbols for concepts with a much higher meaning.
Haha, like my lip gloss thing earlier in the year, if you've heard that story.
The power of fate or faith versus the need to control your own outcomes seems to be recurring themes going on around me.
I make secret bets with myself, staking my own happiness on stupid random events, which really, I need to get out of the habit of doing.
".. if my iPod battery survives this whole song, it has to mean suchandsuch will happen."
Cause I know it doesn't work like that, I think just for lack of control over my own life, I need to know there is some kind of order to all that is going on.
I like split ends and Vaseline. I am a hopeless romantic and would like nothing other than to spend entire days reading sappy Harry/Ginny fanfiction. I'm an avid shipper for many fictional couples, it's truly awful, I make up for the failings in my own romance department but living through people that don't actually exist. Jellie! Sethummer! S/V! HPGW! :)
I put too much meaning into songs. I physically rely on songs that bare resemblance to my own situations to provide solace and comfort. If only Pumpkin Soup didn't have a rubbish chorus... I have a soundtrack to my year, with different songs as different themes to the many events of this year so far. Thus far I sound like an intensly sad person.
What this means for you however, is that the song on my profile has probably been meticulously planned, selected and the possible effect explored so that i can get a specific message through to a specific person. It's rarely coincidence.
Or I could just like the song.
Stop laughing David.
I'm very sentimental, rather dramatic and just possibly highly strung. I get jumped up about things and I'm not very good at being with people. I can be rather opinionated, I worry too much, I get easily intimadated by social taboos, and the summation of these types of things mean I don't really give a good first impression.
Or second impression.
Let's just say I possibly have more enemies than friends.
The problem to this, is that I don't really care, I have those that are close that I need and I'm quite happy. The general dislike is rather a default for me and I'm quite fine with that.
If you want to get me talking at a million miles an hour, want to get me happy or want me to get violent and abusive and highly opinionated, talk to me about politics or football. Either will do, avidly involved in both :)
And you know what. I'm quite happy with all the above. I'm quite happy given all the above. I'm quite happy.
