Creativity

I was never good at writing poems because I never knew how to put words together. People who write poems seem to be very creative and have a lot going on in their minds. I am creative and I do have a lot on my mind that i would love to express but i never knew how to express them. The excersises that Ms. Stronach did with us during class really helped me open up the back of my brain instead of the frontal lobes. I think i am pretty stressed and so when i calm myself down I can write. I enjoy writing poems that are sort of morbid and sad. Or poems that tell a story about something that I think is amusing. I really enjoy describing an object. For instance, I picked up a rusted brown nail from outside by the smoke hole. I described it as being lonley because I found it just lying there all alone. It was as if it fell out of a wood because it was suposed to be holding something together, but now its not. It is not holding anything together anymore. This sort of reminds me of me at some points in my life. I have a hard time holding things together and I also feel alone sometimes. Today I feel amazing though.

Writing a Short Story

I did not know what my title was going to be for my short story. At the end of my short story I suprised myself with the title. A Blurry Mind just came. Writing the short story was not that hard. I already had half of it done because I used my betrayal story from one of my journals. When writing the ending of my short story I found it pretty hard because I did not know exactly what to add to half of a true story. The begining was all true from when i was a child but the ending was all made up. I made the mistake of saying that we went to a bar and had a few drinks but at the begining of my story were were 7 years old or so. I will know not to do that next time.

How are we Connected?

Our society has changed in many ways over the years. When my parents were kids and they wanted to get a hold of a fellow friend, they would pick up the phone and call them. Now that hardly happens anymore. I do not think I have talked to a friend on the phone in a few months. This is because instead of using the phone, we all connect in different ways. It depends on your age, the elderly probably use the phone more often then middle aged people or teenagers do. As a teenager myself, I connect with people over the internet and by using my cell phone. Over the internet we have facebook and e-mail. Facebook is used by so many people! You can connect with someone who lives in China if you wanted to. If I want to find out what a friend is doing, i just facebook them. I usually will get a reply in at least 24 hours. Also if i text a friend over the phone, i could get a reply from 2-5 minutes. It is a great way to communicate with others!! Another way is talking with someone in person if you meet up. I think communicating in person is the best way to have a conversation. That way you know exactly what they mean and what their emotions are.
