Best trip ever

I think the best trip I ever went in was with my family when we went to Disney. It was like being a kid again and I would really like to go back there one day. I think that it is a place that everyone should visit.the food was amazing I had some really good Italian food and just some really good food in general I loved all the parks but I think Epcot was one of my favourites because it's like going to a bunch of different countries. It's really neat how they bring a little bit of culture to each pavilion it reminded me of folklarama a little. I think that magic kingdom though is the one that everyone remembers. Animal kingdom I found a little boring but was still fun. I think that MGM studios has the best rides thought the one rollar coaster is awesome.

Animal testing

Something that I'm really passionate about is stoping animal cruelty. This is a post that I think everyone should see that is from my other blog about stoping animal cruelty.

One of the new documentaries coming out is called blackfish. Blackfish is about a whale called Tilikum who was kept at sea world and ate a trainer one day. This movie talks about how keeping animals in things like amusement parks can make them go crazy. In the trailer a new reporter makes a statement saying "if you were kept in a bathtub for 25 years would you go crazy?" I think this documentary should be a just see because it will open peoples mind to the consequences of keeping animals like that add animal cruelty. Here is the link for the trailer or you can look up blackfish trailer.

3 naive beliefs worth believing in

3 naive beliefs worth believing

Life is not fair (some times it is we just don't know what is fair and is not)
You are either good or bad ( everyone has a little bit of both)

Top ten travel tips

1.) always pack a camera no matter what. There will always be things you want to take pictures of.
2.) there should never be any down time in a trip. Fill empty spaces with things you want to do.
3.) bring someone with you. It's always fun to have someone to remember memories with.
4.) pack light. You don't want to be carrying lots of stuff around.
5.) you know those really old comfortable shoes in your closet? Bring them. You don't want to be killing your feet by wearing those brand new shoes.
6.) try new kinds of food. You are there so experience new things don't go to a chain restaurant.
7.) if your have the urge to take a photo of something take it.
8.) always pack a bathing suit. Even if you don't love to swim it's always a good idea. 
9.) pack at least one nice outfit. You never know when you will go for a fancy dinner.
10.) have fun and don't stress out!

Dialogue and verbal body language

Dorothy looked at Alice,her arms folded across her chest and a sour expression on her face
" Just because you went to wonderland doesn't mean your life is interesting," said Dorothy to Alice  "you think it was so great but oz was way more interesting." 

Alice rolled her eyes "Ha," Alice said " In wonderland I met mad people" and do you know who is interesting? mad people!"

Dorothy looked at Alice.  " I met a scarecrow that could walk.... How is that not mad?"

"So," Alice exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air, " I met a white rabbit with a pocket watch!"

"That's nothing," Dorothy countered , "have you ever met a lion with no courage?"

Alice scoffed " I found a Cheshire Cat." Alice brushed at the air as if she was waving away Dorothy's words.

"I killed the witch," yelled Dorothy "Ha beat that!"

"I Sang with flowers!"

"I am way more interesting!" Screamed Dorothy, pointing at her.

"Ha," Alice scoffed "only in your dreams."

Dance

To me dancing is one of the best stress relievers I will ever find. I like how in one dance I can get it all out by making it into power and showing it in my dance and in another I can be graceful because I have just let it go. Dance is one of those things that can never be taken away from me. It is my first love and a love that will Last forever. I think one of the reasons that I want to continue dance forever is that I have put so much effort into it. I will not be able to compete forever but I know one thing. My children will irish dance, they have no say in it.

Gossip girl

I have started watching the tv show gossip girl. It's a very interesting show. It makes me what to go to newm York and see if the people who live there are actually like that. There is a lot of drama that goes on in that show from people sleeping with other peoples boyfriend and rumours and spelled hooking up with other people and scandals involving money and other people. Overall I think it is a good show but a very confusing show with a lot of different plots going on at the same time. I think that it is going to get a lot more confusing.

Eavesdropping

 Caitlin and Kendra 



We went downstairs into the halls and found a group of friends (2 guys and a girl) talking outside a locker. We were there for around 5 minutes listening to there conversation. It was mostly one of the guys and the girl talking to each other.  It was hard because people talk really fast, I also think they kind of knew that we were listening to them. I don't think people speak in full sentences and they cut each other off. The girl talked really quietly and I think it was because the girl was with 2 guys. People also jump all over in the conversation. You can kind of make it broken and have people cutting other people off. As well as having topics change quickly. I think that personality comes through in dialogue through the word  choice a person uses and there tone of voice shows how they are. I also think depending who controls the conversations shows if they are more controlling or not. When to or more people participate in a conversation I think that two people talk more then the rest of the people involved so it is controlled by the more dominant people in the group. I think that people converse differently with there girls friends then they do with their boyfriends and some peoples conversations have absolutely no meaning and are just to hear the sound of their own voice talking. Think in spoken conversation it is a lot easier to get the tone of voice a person has and you can learn a lot more about there personality and how they act around people. I think in written you don't get that one and it is a little harder to understand the tone.

Art

My favourite artist is fabio napolini. I love the way all of his art is about the common theme of love. I think that all his art has very god messages. Such as love is blind or you don't choose who you fall in love with. I first saw his work At a gallary in downtown disney. I fell in love with it and have been following him ever since.

This is my favourite piece of art

Imagery paragraph

1. I choose this passage because the first think that stuck out to me was "cracking noises at my window" it made me think of the noise go hearing things at my window. So the the auditory part of the paragraph was the first thing that such out to me.

2. I think that visual is the most common type of Imagery in the passage. There are lots of visuals because I think that the author is author is trying to get the reader to imagine and see in your mine what is going on in the scene.

3. I think a "handful of pebbles" is the most effective imagery.i think this is because you can see in your mind what a handful of pebbles looks like as well as you know what it feels like. I think it also helps you to visualize what is hitting the window.

4. I think that it is positive because it does not try to make you think of anything bad or vile. I think that think like hand full of pebbles and cracking house at my window are not negative imagery.

5. I think the emotion the author is trying to recreate is an anxious emotion Or a feeling of suspense because it talks about the main character Jessica sneaking out and you are anxious to find out weather or not she will be caught.

6. I think the purpose of this piece of imagery is to show all the parts of the main character Jessica sneaking off. I think it is also to make the reader feel that feeling of suspense.

Imagery

The robot play ground.

It had been a long time since Jen had been here but she remembered it clearly like it was yesterday. The sweet smell of the fruit from the tree, the sound of the shoes running on metal and the wedgie you got from sliding down the leg. Now her own children were playing on it as she had many years before them. They raced, trying to run fast enough so the wind would go through there hair and they would feel like they were flying. The robot, Jen thought must have been a good robot. Jen sighed  just thinking about how long ago she had played here and how old she was getting. Her back had started to hurt and her knees ached but she was happy. She watched her two girls running, dresses flowing behind them and wondering how they had so much energy. The sun felt hot on her face as she sat there in silence, only hearing the wind and the sound of kids laughing and screaming. Suddenly she heard a noise she had never heard. The loud sound of metal started to clang. The straight leg of the robot started to bend. Kids playing Jumped off screaming and ran to their parents. Jen grabbed her kids and moved back, away from the danger shielding them with her body. The robot stood up blocking the sunlight and looked down.He looked around at all the faces below him. One of her girls, Jessie came out from behind her and went towards him. "I think he's scared" she yelled to everyone. She started to walk towards him. "No! Come back" Jen screamed "Jessie!". Jessie walked towards him slowly. He bent down until both knees were on the ground. Jessie continued to walk towards him slowly, her shoes thwacking the ground. Once close enough he put his hand down and Jessie climbed onto it. It was dead silent, the wind had even stopped. Jessie waved , the robot waved. He then put her on his shoulder. He was friendly.

Log challenge: Day 18

Quick write: What hurts


I think one of the things that hurts the most is a broken heart. I think everyone experiences at one time in there life. It may not be from a failed relationship it might be from sling someone close to you or having a best friends move away. I think it hurts the most because when your heartbreaks you think nothing will ever be good again. I know for me if I lost my best friend I would be losing my best friend and boyfriend at the same time and it would be really painful and really upsetting. To me that would be what would hurt most. I think another thing that hurts is being lonely. No one wants to be alone. I think that to be lonely in this world becaUse it is so cold and harsh it's hard to face it without someone. That person Could be a friend or a lover it doesn't matter as long as you have someone. Having someone to be with you through everything is a warm feeling. The last thing that hurts to me is January 3rd because that's when Christmas and Boxing Day and New Year's Eve is over. I think that is the worst thing in the world because Christmas is the best.

Quick write: Minions



I would have around 500 minions. I would get them to clean my house till it is completely clearance there is nothing for my mom to complain about. Then I would tell them to go clean my grandmas house because I know that I'm going to have to do it sometime or another so after that I wouldn't have to. And because the minions are meant to steal things I would send the to steal me the kind of dog I want a double doodle. I would also send them to go work for me at my job because I hate my job. Then after doing that they could just entertain me because they are funny and way better then TV. And maybe at the end of the week we could all have a dance party and an ice cream party because everyone knows how much minions love to dance and how much they love ice cream. So because they cleaned for me I would let them have all the ice cream they want.

Tea

Tea is something I love. I have it everyday. The tea that I drink is David's tea. And all kinds of David's tea. I especially love their green teas. I think they are really light and not to harsh. The kiwis green tea has to be one of my favourites. The flavours work really well together. The seasonal teas as we'll are also all very good. I think the one I enjoy most at all times of the year is forever nuts. It's fruity and pink and all together is the best smell in the world.

Pre competition

Over the last week I have been getting ready for my dance competition. Going over steps lightly and trying not to get hurt. I got my new wig I'm and it was the wrong colour so I had to dye my hair to match. It happens pretty often. I also have to tan my legs because it's the look the judges like. It Doesent look half bad except for the like where the tan lotion stops.

News paper black out

This I am favourite poem so far during news paper black out. 

Can't by my love: she remains a popular fixture of beauty. She's encouraged by media. 

I think this says a lot about what is considered beautiful and how the media influences it.

Once upon a time

If been getting into this show once upon a time. It's about an evil queen who has put a curse on the fairy world turning it into a modern day town. None of the characters will ever be happy and only snow whites daughter can break the curse. In the show it takes traditional fairy tales like Snow White and Cinderella and sleeping beauty and changes there stories. I think it is an interesting twist on these old tales. I was wondering how the company could also do this seeing as the copyrights belong to Disney. I learned that abc is owned by Disney...

Bastille

I found this new band called Bastille. This is one of my favourite songs by them. The song is good but I also like the lyrics. 



There's an albatross around your neck,
All the things you've said,
and the things you've done,
Can you carry it with no regrets,
Can you stand the person you've become,
Ooh there's a light [x2]

[CHORUS]
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living

Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging off the dust and memory
Though it's soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see
Oooh there's a light [x2]

[CHORUS]
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living

It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes [x4]

[CHORUS]
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living

The Weight of Living [x4]

Quick Write: Small world

in the ride a dark world it will have many factory buildings pumping lots of smoke into the air. The air sky will look brown and black showing what we are doing to our world. in the next part trees will be dead. and there will be people looking for food. they are hungry and skinny. There would be now sun anymore because you can't see it through the smog, there would be no animals anywhere because they will have left of died off. there will be very few people left. next the earth will be deserted with a faded wood sign that says last ship to mars today, 11:30 am. i think the ride should show the impact we have on our own world and how we are destroying it with all our chemicals. At the end of the ride it will have my favourite Dr Suess quote "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not." -Dr.Seuss

Quick Write: Robot

my robot would be my dance teacher. She would be able to tell me what i am doing wrong. If my toes werent pointed properly she would tell me. it would be useful outside of dance class. she would also be able to clean my room for me because i really don't like to lean my room. My robot would also just spit out money because then i would not have to go to work because i hate my job so then i would not have to go to work. It would be medium size and purple. And it would talk with a southern accent.

Dance friends

I think the best thing about doing any kind of dance but Expecially with Irish dance is you get to have dance friends. Dance friends you have known for a long time. You go to competitions with them and for us we do folklarama together. In my group if dance friends it's Quinn who is one of the funniest people i know. There's carling she's really nice and a very good dancer. Imani is really funny as we'll and Maura and Helen. Helen kills me she just says the funniest things. One time during folklarama Helen was filling in for a girl in a group dance and she had no idea what she was doing but she put on a smile and just faked her way through doing it. It is very hard to dance when your laughing really hard

Post dance competition

Iall in all this weekend went pretty well. I didn't place in the overall on the stage because only the top 6 were announced and got trophys but I did place 8th I missed out on the trophy by 4 points. It's pretty good for my first completion In 2 years. In one of my individual dances I did get 5th so I got a little medal. It was nice not to go home empty handed. I'm proud of the way I danced and look foreword to Calgary in January. Here's a picture of how i looked at the feis. 
 Ps it's not my real hair it's a wig.

Post challenge

Over the next weekend I'm going to be going to Calgary for a dance competition. Through out the weekend I'm going to try and post pictures and other things to show what the life of an Irish dancer is like during the week of a competition. 

Six word memoir de-brief

I think there were a couple things I learned about story telling. One for them is that you don't need a lot of words to tell a story. You can give people a little glimpse of who you are through six words. I also learned that if your are only using six words you need to choose your six words carefully because you only have six words to use and you need to tell a story with those six words


I think I used my knowledge of story telling skills through my photos. I really like children's books. I like how your words do with your pictures and try and tell a story on your own. I think that my photos add another aspect or layer of story telling. So I used my knowledge of children's novels for putting the picture and photo together to make a story. 

I have learned that as a writer you have a hard time telling a story through six words. It can be done but is difficult. I think that's maybe why most books are so long. As a reader and reading other peoples six word memoirs you learn a little bit about them. Such as what they are interested in or their thoughts on certain topics.

Phone






I drew the back as reduce reuse and recycle because lani is very into being eco friendly. She always recycles and does her best to teach other people to recycle as well. She is responsible for the green program at her school. her parents are also very green. so it makes sense that she would be as well. i think that because thats what she is most interested in i think thats what her phone case would be.

Six word memoir 3: Hate

I tried to find a photo of something that I hate that could go with the words. I ended up using a photo of my work schedule because I do hate my job. My six word memoir is about a specific person but it could be applied to many different people that I dislike. And it's not that I dislike a lot of people but there're some people that when they talk i have to summon up all my strength not to tell them to stop talking. So I think that the picture and the words go together because they show things I hate. I choose the font colour red because it is a colour of anger and to me anger and hate go together. I put it in the place I did because it was the only place that would fit.



Six word memoir 4: My future

I took this photo specifically for this six word memoir. It is of the lockers in the school and it fits because I would like to be a teacher after high school. I think that it describes my future job because I would like to be a kindergarten teacher and a big part of teaching kindergarten is telling them to not eat things like glue and crayons. I choose the colour white because it reminded me of chalk on a chalkboard which also goes with teaching. I tried to use the font that's like chalkboard which also works with the teaching.



Six word memoir 7: My past

This picture shows my past well because as a child I was always laying dress up. This is my Marilyn Monroe costume. That's what my mom called. It to me my past is my childhood and this describes everything that I played as a kid. This and house. I used the orange font because I shanked it to Match something in the photo and it matches the orange on the scarf. I just used a period because I wanted it to be made a statement. And I moved the text out of the way because I didn't want to distract from such a beautiful photo.



Six word memoir 6: Growing up

I used this visual because I thought that it shows me when I was young and what I loved. I loved ( And still love) Disney. Disney world is one of my favourite places in the world. Considering I still love Disney it really does show I will never sto growing up. I want to go back to Disney world I think that is the one place where everyone is still a kid. Soi thought that it kind of worked with growing up. I used the colour blue because it goes with the hat. I also choose that font because it reminded my of the Disney font a little.


Six word memoir 8: Love

This six word memoir to me accurately describes all my relationships. My friend Anne told me once that I don't hate anyone I just don't appreciate having them around me. And I don't like anyone I just tolerate people and I tolerate my boyfriend, Daniel the most. I think that is completely true. I choose the photo because it's of me and Daniel and I really like the photo and it shows who I tolerate the most in my life. He's the person I can really be mad at but I can get over it in minutes. I tried to put the the words out of the way of the picture because I want people to be able to see my visual. I also used the colour pink because I think it works when you talk about the topic love. I used just a period because I wasn't to sure how punctuation could have changed it but I like the way it came out with just a period.


Six word memoir 5: Confession

I choose to do my confession by saying I thought toast could fly planes because I had friends that actually convinced me that toast could fly planes. So it was super embarrassing and it wasn't until later that they admitted that they were joking. I choose the visual because I really like the picture and I thought the sky is where planes find so it relates. But it's one of my favourite pictures my mom took of the sunset at our lake. I used the red font because I tried to get it to match the colour of the sunset. 



Six word memoir 2: Family

I choose this picture for my six word memoir about family because I think it shows how my family really is: somewhat weird, creative and a little bit out there. This is the potatoes that my mom made for a Christmas dinner. They are really cute and they were delicious. I choose the colours of the two fonts because they go along with the colours of the snowmen. I used thepunctuation of just a period because I wasn't sure how else it colour be taken with other punctuation and I also wanted to be stating it as a fact.

Six word memoir 1: Me

I think this is one of my favourite photos of me dancing. I really like it because it was one of the first photos I got taken in my purple dress. To me this picture sums up the one thing I'm passionate about. Dance is everything to me. I choose this font because I thought it looked pretty and it looked somewhat graceful kind of like dance. I choose the colour of the font because it matches my purple dress. I put the words at the bottom of the photo so it would not cover up my face. I think that the face I'm making in the photo also accurately shows how much I hate having my photo taken by my mom.

The BEST show in the world.

I think the best way to describe my downtime is how I met your mother. This is my favourite show of all time. I don't even know how to describe how good this show is. I really enjoy the humour in the show but I think my favourite part of it are the little life lessons in it. I think this photo perfectly sums up the shows messages and it gives you something to think about. I think my favourite lesson is wait for it because sometimes you just have to wait for good things to come. All in all I think this show is the best show ever and I think it gives you something to include in your own life

What is Irish Dance?

I don't think i could really explain irish dance to you. I could always give you the technical view of irish dance which is a form of dance where dancers who are the same age compete against eachother in specific dances and try to place in the top 3. There are different levels of dancers from beginner, the lowest level. to advanced beginner, then novice, after that prizewinner. You only compete againgst people who are in your age group and level. After prize winnner the is preliminary championship and then the highest, open championship. In open and prelim you only do 3 dances.

Nobody really thinks of dance as a sport but I think one of the best was to describe Irish dance is in Irish dance quote.

"Welcome to our world. Where blisters and sore muscles are given a whole new meaning. Where wearing a wig comes as a second nature. A place where the name "Gavin" corresponds to a god. Where seeing orange legs and rhinestones covered everything is normal. A world where the words sock glue, hornpipe and Oireachtas are used in every sentence. We trying like athletes. We re no strangers to injury, rivals, victory and defeat. We are tough and beautiful. And yes, we kick your ass. Welcome to the world of Irish dance."

I think this quote describes everything that it is part of our world.  I think if people saw what we actually go though and everything we are able to do as irish dancers, they would stop and think I wish I could do that.

Jig


Possibly one of my favourite movies ever. This movie shows the lives of top irish dabcers right before the worlds. Every dancer hopes to go through this one day. its what we all practice for and hope to finally acheive. We spend months training, multiple hours a day for those 5 minutes on stage. These dancers are some of the most acomplished dancers. They are truly inspiring.

Reading survey

I have a couple of favourite authors. All of them have different writing styles though. One of Them is J.k. Rowling. Harry Potter has always been one of my favourite series. I like the way she suggests that there are other worlds within our own. The stories are exciting as well as interesting. One of my other favourite authors is Sarah Dessen. Her stories are normally about teenage love  but I still find them enjoyable to read. One thing I really enjoy about her novels is that they all have different characters in them but they are all in the same town and things that are in other books are referenced. So it has some familiarity for fans but at the same time it is not confusing to new readers. 

I have only re-read a couple of books. One of them is why we broke up by Daniel Handler. It is one of y favourite books mostly because I really enjoy the format the book is written in. I like that it is a letter that goes along with a box of things. In the letter the significance of every object is explained and how it relates to why they broke up. The other book that I have re read a couple times is Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. 
  I just really enjoy the story even though it is sad. It is one of those books that's fluff but is still enjoyable and heart wrenching. 

I think that one of the ways that I decide which books to read is by what the cover of the book looks like. To me if it as an interesting cover I will be more likely to pick it up and start reading it. I think this is mostly because the cover is the first thing you see and the first thing that grabs your attention. The other thing that will make me more likely to read a book is If it has an interesting title. Most of the time it gives you an idea of what the the book will be about. I think with an interesting title it will r an interesting book and more often then not it is. But I still think that there are a lot of different ways to goose a book that are better then my way. 

I have an iPhone that I use for everything all the time. It is my child. I never let it out of my sight. It comes with me everywhere. I also have an iPad that I use for searching things up on the Internet as well as reading in iBooks by downloading PDFs of the Internet. I also use it for Netflix. I normally e read on that. I do not e read on my iPhone because I think the screen is to small. I don't have twitter or a blog just because I haw never really found use for one but I wouldn't like to learn about both though.
