Ellie from D.C.

My name is Ellie and I currently live and have lived in Washington, D.C. since I was just a babe. I attend George Mason University as an undergraduate student of the College of Arts and Sciences. Because of my love of the written word and my passion for literature, I am majoring in English with a concentration in fiction.

My Online Presence and Activity

I, not unlike everyone else in my generation, have a presence on the typical popular social media sites, namely, Facebook and Instagram. I am apart of special interests communities such as Goodreads, as well. I also have a Tumblr blog on which I regularly post to that has amassed more than 800 followers. Since Tumblr’s platform is groused in the idea of “re-blogging” posts from other blogs onto your own, many of my posts are not necessarily original. However, I do post original posts including my own works, occasionally.

Again, just as my peers, the internet takes a good bit of my life on any given day. The frequency of how much I use Google and Wikipedia each day is probably not healthy. If I am reading the Express paper and I stumble upon something that catches my interest, and literally everything does, I will stop to google it and learn more. I most likely use my smartphone for these sorts of tasks much more than I actually use it for making phone calls. I have certain websites and blogs that I visit on a daily basis, my favorite and most visited being Autostraddle, a queer woman’s news and culture online magazine.
