[/i] cora johanna elliotname,
age, [/i] twenty three
high school, [/i] holy trinity high school
who were you in high school?that girl who hangs out with jon elsley
college & major, [/i] columbia university & art history
marital status, [/i] engaged
kids, [/i] n/a
how many,
names & how you chose it,
job, [/i] interior decorator
position,
how long you’ve had the job, since i graduated so about a year
are you happy, yes
what is your salary, it depends. however much i work is how much i get paid
what kind of things do you spend money on, lots and lots of shoes.
what’s your typical day like, [/i]
i wake up around five or six in the morning and either go to the gym or go on a run through central park. come home, have breakfast with thomas and then go into the office, run errands or do consultations, the usual work. then i come home and do a little wedding planning and then thomas and i either have our cook fix dinner or we go out.
what life dreams did you have in high-school, have you accomplished them, [/i]
in high school, i wanted to be the next joni mitchell. no lie, i just wore long flowy skirts and always had a straw bag of sorts. but then once i graduated high school, i just felt like that was a completely unrealistic dream and so i guess i haven't really accomplished my high school dream but my dream changed in a short amount of time. i'm not that upset
what is a significant change within the past five years, [/i]
well in a short time i will no longer be cora elliot but mrs. thomas elsley. it's a big step and i know my mother thought that we were too young when we first told her but i'm excited it's what i want. and thomas and i are very happy together. i know many of my friends from high school think that this is such a change,i was supposed to end up with jon but i couldn't wait around for him to grow up.
are you the same person you were five years ago, [/i]
definitely not. i haven't smoked weed since high school and i take showers daily and i've been sleeping with the same guy for the last year and a half and that guy alone. and i've actually come to please my mother, not be such a disappointment, so yeah i've changed a lot
if you could go back and change one thing what would it be, [/i]
i don't really think that way, so i'm not sure if there's something i would go back and change. i know lots of girls regret losing touch with people wonder what would have happened if they had kept in touch but i really don't think i would like to change anything like that. i'm content with how my life worked out, and is working out and i'd rather think of what the future holds than what disappointments i had in the past.
what is one thing you feel has remained the same, [/i]
i wouldn't say that anything has stayed the same. i applied to columbia on a whim because that's where my dad had gone, but i didn't think college was a serious option for me...you know i always thought i had other plans, and so here i am in new york with my own business, with a loving fiancee and a bright future.
what is your biggest achievement, [/i]
starting my own business. it's a huge responsibility and i never thought of myself as business minded, but here i am.i couldn't have done it without thomas, he's been such a great help to me.
and your biggest mistake, [/i]
i hate admitting it, but sometimes i catch myself wondering, what if i had gone off with jon and not going to college, is this all a mistake? but i realize that i'm completely happy where i am, with what i'm doing and it's just a case of cold feet that every bride has. i don't have a big mistake, unless it's doing our guest bedroom in blues and oranges. yikes.
finally, what is your fondest life memory thus far,[/i]
i would have to say when thomas proposed to me. we had just seen swan lake at the met and i finally got to wear this dress i was dying to wear and when the driver was helping me into the limo, in his hand was the little blue tiffany's box and i turned around and thomas was on his knee. and it was the most perfect night[/blockquote][/blockquote][/sub][/font]
