Creative final


1.)A few of my pieces of writing that I have done this year in this class include my six word memoirs post on my blog that are exactly what the title says. That post made an impression on my friends and I especially on our band trip right after we did this assignment because we were bored and we had nothing else to do so we came up with a bunch of six word memoirs such as “who cares we got a medal”, “walking until I find something cool”, and “I watch too much star trek”. Other writing pieces that I enjoyed were the newspaper and magazine cut out poems and stories that can be all found in my journal. Usually for these poems and stories I was able to reference some sort of television show that I enjoy which made me happy because I’m kind of a movie/ TV show fanatic, so being able to write about the things I love made me really enjoy writing. The children Stories that we created was another one of my favorite things I was able to which was about multiple dogs: Lima, Pinto, Jelly, Green, etc. who their owner was talking saying “my dog ___ likes to roam. My dog ___ left their home. She/he came home all nice and clean, oh where, oh where had ___ been?” so the joke of the story was that when the owner was asking where their dog had been, it sounded like they were saying the name of a bean like Lima bean, Pinto bean, Jelly bean, and so forth.  And also I made a cow out of the word “moo” for my (acrostic) poem inspired by a picture(the picture was of a hamburger) http://youvulcant.blogspot.com/2013/11/moo.html

2.) The piece I really enjoyed reading was written by Carissa was titled “Johnlocked” it’s a fan fiction based on the TV show Sherlock, which is my favorite show. Plus I just really enjoy Carissa’s writing style in general and I wish she would finish the story for me but I’m pretty sure I’m going to wait like how long I waited for series 3 of Sherlock to come out (which was two years). She uses really good descriptive words in what she writes, and I wish that she would write more because it really is very good, and I bet other people would like her writing style too.

3.) Setting up my blog wasn’t really difficult being that I was already the owner of a blog which I tend to edit the html on a lot already to add things I like, but I came up with the name for my blog because, well I am a huge fan of star trek, a Trekkie if you will so how could I resist a perfect opportunity to involve more star trek into my work at school. The things that I did post aren’t normal things that I would post on a regular blog because well this was for a class so the assignments don’t really flow with the theme of my blog; I can’t really see anyone really enjoying this blog because these aren’t the things that I would have wanted to post, but I will continue to blog on my own on my tumblr blog that I have.

4.) I don’t think I will continue to journal, maybe online but not with a pencil and paper. I don’t really consider myself to be a “good” writer so it’s really not my thing to journal. However, in my Journal there are a lot of doodles because I do like to doodle because in a sense it does give me ideas to write about, mostly about the TV and books I enjoy.

5.) (Newspaper cut out stories/poems)

The man in the blue box was there first and then I told him it’s not my division.    

Never make your demos far from heaven: Why can’t your worries stop? And everything be divine. It’s nice to see life after death, feel less inadequate. But never be someone else, everything will shine on. Ready, set, restart.

6.) This was the Famous first and last lines story that we had to create and I think I was most proud of this when I wrote it at the time. “I had the story, bit by bit, from various people, and, as generally happens in such cases, each time it was a different story. Though, being the Doctor and all it was my job to figure out what was happening here-and then it hit me, but as soon and the idea reached my brain and begun to spill from my lips, Martha and I were sent back into the past."Doctor what's happening?!" a breathless Martha exclaimed to which I answered "we-all... apparently the angles have gotten a hold of the tardis and have sent us into the past in an attempt to get inside, but fortunately for us I know someone who can help."
"The angels? Like in the bible?"
"Not exactly Martha, there are these statues that appear to be angles, and appear to be statues, but actually they are one of the oldest creature still around on earth. “Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used up and blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had, all your stolen moments. They’re creatures of the abstract. They live off potential energy.” Now we need Sally Sparrow to bring us the tardis since we are so unconventionally stuck in the 1970s."
Now all I need to find are some supplies in order to send Sally a message in the only way I know she'll get it. I started the camera, handed it over to Martha and began my message for the infamous Sally Sparrow.
"Don’t blink.
Blink and you’re dead.
Don’t turn your back.
Don’t look away.
And don’t blink.
Good Luck."
Are there any questions?

7.)The only creative writing that I may or may not do, well I don’t know if it’s considered creative writing but I really like to format html and write in what I do know how to do (still learning). That’s technically considered creative writing I hope… but I also come up with a lot of puns and silly things like that. Writing in school is completely different because you have to write what the teacher wants you to write, but when you do it on your own it has more freedom to grow and be an “individual”

8.)

Carissa: you really should write more, I do believe you are a genuinely good writer and people will love it.

Trevor: I will miss all of your hilarious gifs of everything.

Jordan (Pablo): I wish you were signed up to be in my Spanish class because we’d have so much fun

 - Jenifer

Shay: I appreciated your use of alliteration in your blog title and I have no idea how you and trevor got so many page views.

This class was a lot of fun, and i really enjoyed it. I would take this class 100 times over if i could, thank you for a great semester.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          




Resolutions fill-in

This year I will try not to procrastinate quite as much.

This year I will let go of High school and embrace college with open arms and empty pockets.

I will honour my ferrets and love my ferrets

I will stand up and share my ferret gifs with the world!

writing as a gift


Dear Carissa,
I know how much you like cute boys and cats so I put a bunch of animals and Ian Somerholder on the envelope thing, so I hope you enjoy it. We’ve been friends since the second half of 5th grade, which makes it about 8 years now that we have been besties. There is so much that we’ve done and much of it would be inappropriate to include in this letter but you know what happened, and it’s all definitely what made how I am today. Which is why I’m an awful person; but all in all I’m actually pretty happy that we were able to stay close friends for so long and I enjoy the time that we spend together. And the thing I think that I love most about our friendship is how we respect each other, and that we are so entirely different from one another. We aren’t those friends that you see that are basically the same person which makes me really happy. I just hope we will be able to maintain a friendship past high school and college (so we should definitely get an apartment in a couple years after OTC. We can smoke hookah and drink out of fine wine glasses and have raging Netflix parties because we can’t have real parties because we don’t have any other friends.) You have no idea how much that idea makes me excited except that I’ll probably just be watching star trek half the time on my computer so hopefully we won’t become too overwhelmingly tired of one another. All in all you probably won’t ever be able to get rid of me ever. Even when were old as hell ill still always find some way to contact you whether it be through phone or text, or me breaking into your house and kidnapping you I’ll always be around. This is not a friendship I’m willing to give up on, unless you kill my family or something.
                                                                                                                                Merry Christmas bb,
                                                                                                                                From Desiree bb

(Writing) about a boy

“I am not a sheep.”
Me neither.
Sheep have four legs while I have two. Sheep have hooves while I have hands. Sheep give wool whereas I do not. I am not a sheep because I’m not white. If anything I refuse to be herded anywhere and eat grass from the plains and go “baaa” for if I did I can surely assure you that I would be put in the loony bin, and I wouldn’t  be here writing why I am not a sheep. It should be pretty obvious after all. The biological make up of a sheep is very different compared to a human, yes we both have blood and a heart and the hearts are very similar and all, both having left and right atriums and ventricles and valves and what not pumping blood throughout the body because our blood wouldn’t be able to do it by itself because of this lovely thing called gravity. But more to the point I can assure you I am not a sheep because look at my face with my fur and my oblong eyes, and my snout with my mane of wool around my body and my four hooves; oh wait…. So I might be a little bit like a sheep.

Food inspried


Although small, these chocolate mice mean a lot to me. Every year for Christmas my grandma and I always make these little mice together. She always dips the cherry in the chocolate while I assemble the ears and the face together. I've always enjoyed making them with her because I feel like I don't spend a whole lot of time seeing her because of how busy I am on a day to day basis leaves me little time to visit, so Christmas is when I'm finally able to be with my family and spend quality time with them even though I don't necessarily enjoy cooking or baking, these are easy and fast to make. I feel as though my family may not be as traditional every year for Christmas, like we don't have a set date to put up the Christmas tree, and we don't always wait till morning to open our presents; but I always make time for making these treats with my grandmother. They’ve been our tradition ever since I can remember them, even when my grandparents used to live in Texas and they would come here for the holidays she would always bring these mice that she made the day before so we could have them while we celebrate Christmas.

 

I also feel as though I have a lot of food connections with my grandma on my dad’s side because she really loves to cook, she’s always cooked the best things I can remember from enchilada Wednesdays to back bone soup most of her dishes are that of more Mexican cultured, being that my dad’s side of the family derives from both Mexico and Spain so naturally most of the meals we do eat usually have the stereotypical rice and beans on the side. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to trying new things, like my mom’s corn beef and cabbage that she grew up with, and her meat loaf or Sheppard’s pie. So I guess it really just depends on who’s cooking supper that day, but in the end that bowl of guacamole looks pretty good.
