While most people classify themselves as optimists or pessimists, I have the unfortunate privilege of being a pesstimist. Pesstimist, of course, being my made up term for being part pessimist and optimist.
This makes it really hard for me to follow through on anything. Most of my projects start out with me working really hard toward my goal and essentially booking it toward the finish line. At some point I stop and sort of plateau for awhile, occupied with the likes of school or a job (if I'm lucky enough to have one at the time). After a while, I take out some time to continue with my project at which point many brain begins to berate my work and intellect. Its always a really troubling time that ends with an unfinished promise and broken dreams :(.
So the moral of this story is: I hope this blog doesn't end up that way. I would really like to reach my partially undecided end goal... at least at some point.

What is in a name?
Note: I'd like to begin by apologizing for my poor grammar and/or spelling. I wish I had some sort of excuse as to why I'm such a piss poor writer, but there really isn't one.
I've spent an inordinate amount of time thinking up my incredibly clever blog name (#sarcasm) so I figure I should take some time out and explain it :D
The second word is fairly simple I love elephants and if I could own a tiny midget elephant and carry it in my purse like a more original Paris Hilton, it would be a dream come true.
The first word has a story (even though it's probably obvious). At around 12 years of age, I hit puberty. As many of you will know this means my body changed a lot, the biggest change I remember is that my hips and thighs were suddenly much wider. Considering I'd spent my entire life up to this point I'd been a tall and thin girl I suddenly became obsessed with my weight and being the girl I was before. Being the girl I was before is almost entirely impossible considering now I have a 32D bra size (I was probably a 18-A before I hit puberty, with a concave where my chest should be :D) and a more defined pear shaped body.
Though my many attempts to achieve a body I'm more proud of have failed, I'm hoping this attempt will bring me more than self loathing and an intense sense of defeat. Therefore, I am relying on you fine people to help me stand when I've fallen...and for that I would like to thank you.
The third word is there because I figured "skinny elephant" was too much of an oxymoron to exist on its own so I added the most common word a google search of "whimsical blog title ideas" gave me!
With love to new friends,
Nisha :D
