Graduation Ring

Graduation is just around the corner... And with my Grad pictures being taken last week and my Grad ring FINALLY coming in, I thought I should show you all it's beauty. For anyone who loves it and wants to get their own, go to www.jostens.com and design your own!! This ring was only 197.06$ with tax, it was originally 160$. You can order online at anytime! This is one of the cheapest you can get for a memory you can keep forever! (for ladies rings, sorry gents!)
 
This was made before I ordered my ring so I knew what it would look like. Under school name it says College Sturgeon Heights Collegaite and it has the Husky symbol on the first side. I love it!!

Disney tattoo

Since I was a child, I've been obsessed with Disney. I've learnt so much from these movies and grown up watching them. They will always be a part of my childhood that I will never give up. Disney has made so many quotes to help people move forward in life; Hakuna Matata for example means no worries, A dream is a wish your heart makes, never grow up, Remember who you are, etc. Disney has always been a place where dreams come true for people. I finally made the decision to go with the quote "Keep moving forward" from the Robinsons. It was a quote made from the actual man Walt Disney. It's like a philosophy for life, keep moving forward, through the good and the bad. This has now become my philosophy.

This will be close to what I get except smaller and Mickey and Minnie will just be outlined or the disney castle will be above the quote. It will be around the same position except higher and I havent decided exactly where to put it on the top of my back. I find it's so important to remind yourself and others to keep moving forward.
Never let go of your childhood.

RIP Walt Disney 1901-1966

The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker Ballet

This ballet is one of my favorites, I only have one other. I haven't seen it since I was probably 8 years old and I'm excited to be seeing it again this season. I've always loved the music and dance that go with it and I'm excited to see the directors own personal view on how the ballet should look. It's always done slightly differently. I recommend going if you get the chance!
 
Here's some samples from youtube
 

Writing Reflection #10

Reading & Writing Reflection #10


Writing Perspective: Writing twitter fiction was an interesting experience. It for sure brought a new perspective to some of my writing. I found that writing the shorter stories wasn’t as difficult as I thought beforehand; I am a person who generally writes longer stories, essays, etc., but I needed a challenge. Therefore I found that to be a real success of mine when they actually turned out the way I wanted them to. Also some of my imagery came out way better than I had previously thought they would be and I was very proud of that success. I had a couple frustrations for sure, such as trying to keep some character dialogue in the story with the proper punctuation but still keep it under the 140 character limit, especially when it was the VSS stories. Another one was attempting to write when the inspiration was just not there. There were a couple stories I didn’t like just because I had written them so I had done something that day. I learnt that the story truly writes itself and if that story isn’t in my head, I can’t force myself to try to write it. I’ll always end up redoing it because I don’t like how it turns out.

Reading Perspective: I read Alina Simone’s Twitter fiction. The story was called Anatomy of a Break Up. She wrote a story about a man who thought he was in love but realized he needed to find himself first. It’s true what they say, “You need to love yourself before you can love another”. I also read it because let’s face it, there was a bit of romance in it and I can never resist that. It felt strange to be reading twitter and not realize you we’re actually on twitter, if that makes any sense. If the author does it right, they can bring you right into the story and can make you forget you’re even reading a twitter feed. Alina Simone accomplished this for me. The only thing that surprised me was the amount of character depth she was able to give to Joe; she brought me right into his subconscious. It had me really loving his character.

About Twitter: This assignment did change my perspective on twitter but only by a little, I still don’t generally like it. My opinion is that it’s tolerable now and that it does have some good use for it. The twitter fiction is probably one of the only things I like about it, it would be one reason to keep my twitter; to continue writing and reading others writing. I don’t much get the point of using it besides that, it’s just another facebook with fewer words.  The only other use I would have personally for twitter would be to keep tabs on my favorite authors and bands, just to see what their newest projects are or when something new is coming out from them.
