My name is Lauren Christine Price. If you take my initials L&C, read them together, you will get Elsey. I am a student from Kennesaw State University studying English with a minor in linguistics and a concentration in professional writing. If you'd like to see my professional website, click here.

I love reading and writing, obviously. (I'll go more into detail on that below). I love music. My go-to genre will be pretty much anything under the sun when it comes to rock. The beach is my happy place. I'm a Capricorn. I was born a redhead. My favorite animal is a jellyfish.  Tomatoes make me gag. I love sunshowers, the color teal, old cartoons from childhood, and antique stores. 

Okay... so what's this all about?

I've had a love affair with words for as long as I can recall. And, I mean, ALL types of words. Spoken, for sure. I was the kid that had parents being called after school to say I'm a chatterbox. For a long time, I'd speak even if I didn't have anything to say. And when I did have something to say, it wasn't too meaningful, usually. I found at a young age that I can be quite the storyteller. (This applied to even when my stories weren't completely true...)

Then, came printed words. In second grade particularly, I found that a good book was like a drug. At first, it didn't matter what book. Any and every book, I wanted to consume. Given that I was a child with a lackluster attention span, it was truly a miracle how I could finish the novels I started.

Lastly, came written. I found out that I loved writing when I was in about fourth grade. Short stories were first. I had such a young, nimble mind, that I treated them like improv exercises. It was a great vessel for the storytelling I mentioned previously. 

Fast foward a decade and some change, and you get to the creation of this website. After years of posting my unsolicited opinions  online that few asked for, and filling up my friends' text messages with audio messages with various thoughts on whatever media I'd been digesting at the time, I realized that I needed a more comprehensive medium for all of the words rushing to find an ear.

Hence the name... Elsey's Word Salad.

This blog is comprised of several posts across different types of media and literature that I deem worthy of attention, for whatever reasons. Is it amazing? I might write about it on here. Is it simply fun to analyze? Maybe I'll write about it on here. Is it amusingly bad? I'll certainly write about it on here. Is it deplorable? You guessed it... I'll write about it.
