Reading Reflection #10

"reading relection 10. @Cre8tiveHavoc My character is a man eater. she isn't even doing it in a classy behaviour. nothing she does shocks me"

Honestly, it seems to me Darcy can't control herself when it comes to men. It is crazy to read about all her experiences with them and she just can't seem to live normally with one. She is always on the edge and always thinking about herself.. it seems sometimes she just wants to get caught cheeting to spice things up a bit more in her life, cause it is just so boring already...

Something Blue

Pages 34- 40

During the beginning of this reading I really felt more positively towards Darcy as a character. She was really trying her best to be faithful to her fiance and brush away any temptations towards Marcus. In fact, she set Marcus and Rachel up on a date and you could tell that her intentions seemed to be a bit better and wanted to truly be happy for the two of them, after all Rachel was her best friend and Marcus was also one of Dexter’s closer friends.

Of course, Darcy ends up slipping and confesses her thoughts and plans that she claims she will not go through with behind Dexter or Rachel’s back but of course things get out of hand and Marcus and Darcy end up sleeping together. It is so sick to me because you can tell how badly she is urging to be with Marcus the whole time. I just do not understand how she can let the fact that her best friend likes this guy slip right into the back of her head, and of course... how can she forget her fiance? I am beginning to think Darcy is extremely selfish and is always thinking about herself first. I don’t even feel bad for her that Dexter and Rachel end up also having an affair together. I don’t feel bad because as much as no one deserves that in life those two deserve to be happy instead of being stomped all over by Darcy all the time.

Writing Reflection #11

"writing reflection number 11... my goal for the rest of the week in class is to get up to 20 visuals completed and posted! @Cre8tiveHavoc"

I can accomplish this goal by staying motivated and reminding myself that there
is no more time for fooling around, especially with only 14 days left of school.

Reading Reflection #8

Something Blue

Pages 24-34

I’m starting to really get into this book. I’m at the point where she is talking about how she met Marcus, her fiances best man and room mate from college. This part is so interesting to me because it’s like watching a love story or even a soap opera. It is funny because I actually imagine what all the characters look like now and visualize each scene and what is taking place. When Darcy talks about her feelings for Marcus I can sort of relate. She says he is not someone she would typically be attracted to but his personality and his I don’t really give a crap behaviour really make him more attractive. I feel like I mostly judge on personality too, I don’t care what you look like as long as there is some physical attraction all is good. It is all about the damenor of the person and if they are cool calm and collected its irresistable! 

Continuing reading this chapter Darcy makes a comment explaining this attraction to Marcus. She says, “I thought about what a shame it would be that I would never experience another first kiss. That I would never fall in love again.” Right after reading that I knew that Darcy would not go threw with marrying Dexter and that it was so obvious why she always cheated on him. She was not happy in her life and needed a spark of something. A spark of sin and a spark of Marcus.

Reading Reflection #7

Page 22-24

Reading this book has really brought my attention to the good old saying, “once a cheater, always a cheater” But, is that true? For some reason I always want to think no it isn’t. People can change and can change for the better, but only if they want to deep deep down inside. I put this book down for quite a while and had to re read a few pages. 

Focusing on only page 22-24 the main character Darcy has really made a statement for herself of what kind of person she is and makes me almost a little but nervous to know that anyone can act on their temptations to the opposite sex even when you’re in a long term relationship like her. It seems she is always wanting attention from someone weather it be her closest girlfriends, current boyfriend (s) or even parents. I have re evaluated Darcy a bit and I just feel like she is a very confused individual who thinks they are looking for someone, or something in particular. She always seems so love struck and is always thinking about a man but in reality it is so evident and clear to me that the only person she should really be trying to discover or pay attention to is herself! Darcy needs to learn who she is and be on her own. You know what they say, before you can find love you must love yourself first!

THIS MAKES ME SHAKE MY HEAD NON STOP.
losing items... and the thing is. It's not just a pair of shorts or your favorite book. It is an iphone. You think oh my gosh stop being so materilaistic but the thing is I just paid $250 to get that phone fixed and now BOOM, it is gone. Also, I found out the price of replacing this device today.. aint cheap. It is $700. The thing that frustrates me most other than not being able to afford a new one... is not knowing where your phone is and being bothered by who might have it... this keeps me up at night. Dont judge me.

Author's Note

Author’s Note 

This year through creative writing, myself and other students in this class have been pushed in a few ways. We have been challenged to jump out of our comfort zones and during that we have all become complete technology experts. I know for sure that this class has been a learning experience for me and I have had my ups and downs struggling to do the simplest things like just logging onto the computer or network, never mind creating new emails and twitter accounts. However, I am now proud to say that I am a complete technology nerd!

One of the easier assignments of this course was our final project that I am working on right now. Making a list of things that I want to do before I die. To me, it is so exciting to be able to stretch your mind and try to visualize and create such great goals four ourselves. I’ve always been one to push my own limits no matter how high or unachievable they might seem. I have always been more than willing to try new things without being scared, so this was the perfect project for me.

Along the way of creating my bucket list I discovered a large amount of things about myself as a person and what my interests are. While I was making my list I learned that I really want to make a difference in peoples lives and also in my own.  A lot of my goals on my bucket list may be difficult to achieve but I know that if i try and strive to reach every single one either way no matter the outcome, I will gain so many memories and experiences. Nothing is impossible and I will set out to find my buried life!

Writing Reflection #9

So far my new twitter account @Forcedentries is going really smoothly. For me it is really easy to tweet qucikly and sufficiently because I already had a personal account before my creative writing twitter was made. It is so easy for me because I already know how to properly search for whats trending, how to tweet at people, and how to look for friends or influential people for me to follow. One goal I want to keep for myself for my new twitter account is to just stay on task and you is just for class purposes and to of course keep it up to date! My things that I want to do before I die list is coming along really well. It is not as hard as I thought it was going to be and i'm finding it really easy to keep thinging of things to add to the list. Even though some of them are really small, theyre goals I want to accomplish. I may not be able to accomplish everything on my bucket list but having those goals is a first step!

Reading Reflection #6

What do you want to do before you die?By: The buried life boys
Whole book

In class we all looked through the book the buried life together. This reading reflection will be a little different then the usual one. The book the Buried life is almost like the show. The real life characters discuss what they want to do before they die and share with readers and viewers of their show what exactly it is they want to do before they die. It's so crazy to think that these four guys have really made a huge impact on a lot of peoples life just by thinking outsisde the box and really making something out of their lives. The thing I really liked while reading this book was the introductory and each of the four beautiful men sharing a bit about themselves. I also really liked how each page was different and had an illustration to go with the topic of what they wanted to do before they die. Some of the things really inspired me and touched my heart. Some of peoples ideas or thoughts were just so sweet or really inspiring. It makes me really want to influence others lives and make an impact like how the boys did on so many young and old people. This book really showed me that no matter how big or small your dream is you can reach it by having goals and going out there to chase your dream!

Things that make me shake my head

it is the most annoying thing having to walk on egg shells all the time around some people. Oh, I'm sorry I offended you by doing nothing wrong. Now, please grow up and get off the training potty. Why do people make such a big fuss with their friends about the littlest things that mean nothing.. oh you didn't come over one night? let's get mad about it cause it was obviously the friends intention to really piss you off and leave you out on purpose. SMH.

Things that make me shake my head

My 50 dollar foundation runs out... I see it coming. Days before it saw its last day I planned... "what next?" I knew I was on a tight budget and I knew that my face would break out from any other cheap foundation... I was right. so what do I do you wonder? I buy cheap stuff and my face blows up.... today I decided I needed to splurge.. after all it was payday Monday. I went and spent more ten usual on a new foundation that is more convenient for my laziness it's a spray called Dior airflash.. and let me tell you the name suits the makeup perfectly cause my money was gone in a flash. things that make me SMH... why is something that is only going to last for a few months so dayum expensive??
