Elle

I'm not too interesting-- just a nerd that likes Harry Potter and cats. I force kids to make music for a living.

Me: “The name Elle is funny, because you can spell it all fancy, and it’s still just pronounced like the letter L.”
Me: “Hey, my Twitter name is L...”

I have fancified my Twitter name. I feel dignified now.

A coworker told me Twitter was now X and super weird, so I had to come investigate.

Yup, he’s right.

Back to your regularly scheduled absence of me 💪🏼

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@Andrea_Bettis I really appreciate that, thank you ❤️

[Elle @_encantadaa]

It's been so long that I couldn't remember how to log in... oops.

I've just come to apologize. I know that I hurt a lot of people here, and I'm sorry. That was never my intention. You are all wonderful people who didn't deserve that from me.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@MyRandomness03 Wow, he's an actual kid now! Was just a baby last I remember.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@jerrytysons Aw, that's sweet :) Thank you! You cross my mind from time to time, too.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@MyRandomness03 Thank you! I hope you and your son are doing well.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@writergirlprob1 Honestly, not too good. The past year and a half has not been fun. But I'm making it. Hope you've been well!

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@Andrea_Bettis I do think about you from time to time-- I hope all is well with you!

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@Andrea_Bettis Thank you, I appreciate that, but I don't belong. I'm learning that I really don't belong anywhere in life, but this Twitter community is a place I feel very strongly that I don't belong. I don't fit-- not here, not anywhere. But that's life, and I'm rolling with the punches.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

I don't plan on coming back to Twitter. I just wanted to apologize, because I know I hurt a lot of people. I really, truly am sorry.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

I hope that you all can forgive me for the hurt that I caused, and I hope that everyone is doing as well as possible.

@DonnellKearney @CBSThisMorning @GayleKing The rule is more there to prevent boys from having the top knot/“man bun” hairstyle. It wasn’t written to intentionally discriminate against Blacks/Native Americans. Not denying that it is affecting them— just saying that wasn’t the intent of the rule when written.

@DonnellKearney @CBSThisMorning @GayleKing Braided hair is not against the dress code. The ponytail is.

@aspen_writes @lily_bart @Kate_Christie_ @pinktheatre I’m still mad that I messed up the ending of that! Glad you like it, though. :)

[Elle @_encantadaa]

Hey, it’s my Twitter anniversary. I picked a good day to randomly log on.

Here’s to not using Twitter this year! 😂

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@MSRnotSculder That’s a fair point

[Elle @_encantadaa]

For anyone curious, this is what many Texas grocery stores are like right now.

1) soda
2) bread (there was NONE)
3) eggs and butter
4) milk (I’m amazed there was any)

[Elle @_encantadaa]

@MyRandomness03 Yep! There’s just no way to prepare when the infrastructure isn’t there.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

For anyone wondering if things are as bad in Texas as people are saying... yes.

I’m very blessed to not have had a power outage yet, but much of my family was without power for 12-16 hours yesterday. My sister’s house got down to 48 degrees inside.

[Elle @_encantadaa]

I hope everyone else dealing with this is staying safe!

[Elle @_encantadaa]

Numerous wrecks on the roads due to ice. Stores closed because workers can’t get there safely. School cancelled, and can’t even go virtual due to insane power outages.
