The Ellie Zone - A Little Too Much of Everything Else

Welcome. Please follow me. Now, as soon as you read past this line, you will enter...

The Ellie Zone

This place is dangerous and wrought with horrible, awful things. Proceed at your own risk.

Alright. Now that the introduction is over with, it's time to get started. Basically, I'm just gonna talk about stuff, but that's not the fun part. The fun part, is something you'll have to find out. Hee hee hee....
Some of you may know this already, but I'm... weird. Well, maybe past weird. Maybe I'm insane, but that's what I've been hoping for all along, so maybe it's just wishful thinking. I've actually wondered what it would be like in one of those padded rooms...

I mean, think about it. You're in a room, where you can't move your arms, so you're constantly hugging yourself. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy? And that's not even all! The walls, the floor, even the ceiling (though I'm not sure how I'd get up there...) are all padded! So you could, technically, bounce off every single wall, fall on the ground, and still not get hurt! Imagine the fun one could have!!! I wonder if people could use this as an exercise facility... I mean, wouldn't running around and bouncing off stuff burn a lot of calories? It's too bad no one thought of this sooner. I could eat all the ice cream I want and keep in shape by bouncing around a padded room.

On that note, has anyone else noticed how insecure the common populace is? If they aren't abnormally thin, they think they're too fat. Now, I'm not saying this is everybody, I'm just saying that I'm noticing a trend. And the trend terrifies me.

The world in general is and has been saying that America has a problem with obesity. They got the fact that we have a problem right, they just messed up the problem. You see, it's not that we're all too fat, it's that we're all too thin. If we all stopped worrying what we looked like, the world would be a much happier place. But that's just wishful thinking again.

I'm not saying everyone's perfect. I'm not saying anyone's perfect. I'm just saying people focus too much on the little stuff. This is going to sound corny, but it's the inside that counts. Yes, I know, people repeat this time and time and time again, but apparently it's not enough, because it's just not getting through. We're saying it, but nobody's listening. They all think they're listening, but when was the last time you saw someone smile just because they were there? Yes, we're not perfect. Yes, we're not beautiful. But we should be rejoicing in that fact, instead of wallowing in it.

I mean, think about it. If everyone's ugly, what's the difference between this ugly and that ugly? Just pick a preference. It doesn't matter which. Someone's sure to disagree with you every single time. Come on. It's been proven. You can't please everybody.

I apologize now if I've offended everybody. I'm not trying to. I'm just saying what I think. It's just that what I think is a little wacky.

Smile,
Ellie the Gremlin
