★ ━ ( shlomit malka, eh, any ) ━ ★ the other day i ran into ELISHEVA BLOOM. it’s funny because i was just thinking about how the TWENTY TWO YEAR OLD’s birthday was on 09/08 and how the last time i saw her, ELI was CREATIVE, GENEROUS & PERSISTENT, but could also be WITHDRAWN, JEALOUS, & PETTY. anyway, she has been living in THE NORTHWEST DISTRICT for FOUR YEARS & currently works as a CASHIER.
So here I am, back again, to present y'all with a mess, better known as Elisheva or simply Eli (pronounced like elly)
First thing as it's the most important, Eli is rather ambivalent towards gender, she doesn't identify with any existing label but also doesn't really have much issue at all with people gendering her however they choose.
I'm using she/her and vague language where easy but feminine language when not as that's what most commonly ends up being used by people she's talked to about gender stuff, the only thing she really has a preference on is that people pick language to use and then stick with it.
Eli was born at a US military base in Israel, her father being an officer stationed there and her mother being from the area, her first move came when she was only two months old.
She moved around regularly throughout childhood as her father was moved from base to base, spending most of her childhood outside the United States, though there were some periods where they were in the States.
She never got much attention from her parents, her dad was busy with his job and was rarely ever home, and her mom, to help with the social issues involved in moving around a lot got really involved with an MLM, putting most of her time not dedicated to housekeeping to that rather than Eli.
Eli herself though struggled with her lack of a consistent friend group and never managed to find a real way to cope with it, ending up giving up on friends entirely by ten, what was the point of making friends if she was simply going to have to start over in a year or two?
Plus often, while there were other children of American solders around the base she often didn’t speak the same language as the other children around her in other countries, never having time to pick up much more than the basics.
Eventually she did settle down though, returning to the States to attend college at Portland State where she majored in music, focusing on composition, and minored in art history, mostly for the simple reason that by her final semester she only needed to take two more classes to be able to to get the minor so she decided why not?
She struggled settling down in Portland though having lived such a transient life before then, she had wanted to settle down for a while now, hating the constant moves of her childhood, but by eighteen she had become so used to it that she never really felt quite stable, as if she had to be ready to lose everything she had set up there to a move like when she was younger.
Her parents paid for her expenses while she was in college, allowing her to focus on school and her personal music without having to work and at first she had thought this would mean that she could create her music and be successful either while right out of school or before even graduating.
She released her first album, a French house/nu-disco album called Golden Nights, on YouTube at nineteen, then a second called Cherry at twenty, and finally a third called Boundless at twenty-one, none of which have gotten much attention outside of from her friends and family despite her best efforts to advertise.
Still unable to make any sort of living on her music by the time she graduated from college she got a job at a small used bookstore about a block from her apartment to be able to start supporting herself, putting in the absolute bare minimum effort so she can focus on working on her next album and trying to figure out what she’s been doing wrong.
I’m blanking on anything else to say so
