Six Word memoir #6

This happens to be the closest person to me in the world. His name is James Wilson. We've been together for over two years, and he is so much more than my boyfriend. He will continue to be my best friend. When Mrs. McLauchlan asked us to make six word memoirs on Love, he was the first to pop up into my mind.  When you find love, you should hold onto it and never let go. Who knows if we will ever find it the same way again. It's always worth fighting for. Any form of love is to be cherished, between friends, family, or spouses. It's always nice knowing that the people you love will always be there for you in a time of need. And i know he always will be. Even if in the future we are just friends again, (not saying that it is going to happen of course) i know he will continue to be there for me as he always has been. <3

Six Word Memoir #5

This was also one of my favorites. It was again taken on my photo shoot with Maryssa Levesque. I thought she looked beautiful in this one at the bottom of a slide from a play structure. You have to let your inner child shine through or you will never have any sense of humor. It brought about a good saying for life itself. When you get to the bottom of the slide, you always want to go down again. When you get to a bottom point in your life, all you have to do is climb up again. There are always going to be ups and downs in life, but always enjoy the ride. Just as Maryssa loved going down this slide.

These people, are a fantastic group of people. Music is a huge part of my life. I have been in divisional choir for 8 years and it is almost time for it to be at an end. When i graduate i will no longer be able to be a singer in it. This was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on our annual choir trip last year. We all had a fantastic time and i will surely never forget it. These memories will surely last FOREVER.

Six Word Memoir numero 3

This was my favorite one to create. Immaturity is something that is very close to my heart and something that you should let shine often. Even adults love to show it so that they feel young again. This was my best friend, Maryssa Levesque, doing a photo shoot for me for photography. We decided to do some on the tire swing and she had a blast doing it. I found it was one of the best ways to get a real smile from her. Everyone loves to be a kid every once and a while and i think it's a part of our personality that we should never hide.

Six Word Memoir #2

For the past two years, i have learnt the game of football and am now obsessed with watching it. It is one of my favorite pass times. This is Derrick Hrabchuk, James Wilson and Jared Berthelette (from left to right). They play for the Sisler Spartans (A Currie Division). They had a 12-0 season and won the championships. They had a very strong year and they we're one of my favorite teams to watch. I loved this six word memoir for this photograph because it shows that they we're stronger as a team and it was very true. They all stood together to win that championship.

In my future, i want to be a mother. It's one of my biggest dreams. Children will always give you unconditional love. It's something you will never have to earn. This is my boyfriends little sister, Renae Tauber. She's a gorgeous little girl and i love her very much. This is also her favorite bear. This picture was taken for my photography class for window lighting and i always loved how it lit her face. The bear helps bring out her innocence, even though in real life she isn's as innocent (: Credit to her for being such an amazing little model!

Song of the moment #2

No Place Like Home
Marianas Trench
 
There's no... yellow
bricks to follow back, and run from that disaster.
Familiar sins, come crashing in.
And sever forever and after.
My old friend, it's time I leave you here
For whats for all in frozen alabaster.
Believe me.
There's no place like home.
There's no place like home.

A shallow grave, where I can keep it safe
for hide away for just in case I need it.
my old friend, it's time to say goodbye again.
no need to tell me where you've been, I feel it.
Shallow graves for shallow hearts.
For pick-me-ups and fall aparts.
For promises that never started right.

Carolina, Carolina, tell me how I'm gonna get down from here?
You only ever just disappear, but I can't let you go.
Carolina, Carolina, tell you how am I getting the ending right.
I know I started it wrong but I...
I think that it's as easy as 1,2,3
Do you see what I do?
Truth or dare, yes I double dare you.
You, you mean now I think you got it right.

(There's no place like home... there's no place like home)
(There's no place like home... there's no place like home)
(There's no place like home)

Oh, another day on the assembly line.
Everybody better march in time.
'Cause the fact that we don't care why.
you been saying could've, should've, would've.

Oh, another day on the assembly line.
Everybody better march in time.
'Cause the fact that we don't care why.
you been saying could've, should've, would've.

Oh, another day on the assembly line.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
Everybody better march in time.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
'Cause the factory don't care why.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
you been saying could've, should've, would've.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)

Oh, another day on the assembly line.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
Everybody better march in time.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
'Cause the factory don't care why.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)
you been saying could've, should've, would've.
(Toy soldiers will you follow?)

I face the music when it's di-ei-ire!

This is true love, ever after.
This is true love, ever after.

True love! ever after!
This is true love! ever after!
This is true love, ever after.

Once upon a time
This place was beautiful and mine
But now it's just a bottom line
(There's no)
Yellow bricks and happily. ever after we lived.
The End.
 
 
As you may tell, this is my favorite song of the week <3 I will probably continue this tradition hopefully for a long time. I have loved this band for a while but I just found out I'm going to their concert on October 21st! So for the next month, I will continue to prepare myself for their concert.
Marianas Trench <3

Quote from a Love Movie

~The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

 
This is a quote from one of my favorite love movies, Moulin Rouge. It's a tragic story which is more so a musical. It shows that love is always the most important thing.
 

Six Word Memoir #1

This is my first attempt, i love my family, so it was appropriate to do it on them.

Writing Reflection #3


Writing Reflection

Six WordMemoirs

Writing these memoirs was actually a loteasier than I would have thought. I would write four or five for each category.Writing is something that comes very naturally for me. I choose to go tosolitary confinement near the class by a window. I work better when I don’tfeel confined in one space, even better if it’s outside. It’s not alwayspossible if it’s cold outside. It went a lot better than if I would have beenin the class. I quite like this genre. It makes you think outside the box. Tobe able to sum up life or love in six words is amazing. I learnt that I’m stillable to write very easily even though it’s been a while since I’ve been able towrite freely. The hardest part was trying to put a good sentence into just sixwords. The rewarding part was being able to write as many as I did.

Blogging

Blogging is going very well for me. I’venever been bad at being able to express myself through technology. I haven’trun into any problems but I’m sure I will in the future. The most rewardingpart is seeing the amount of views you get. People are actually taking aninterest in what I’m writing and my thoughts.  I would like to blog more personal additionsof myself, at least four. I love being able to express myself. I put the app onmy phone so that I will be able to achieve this goal. I’ve learnt that, as awriter, I’m still obsessed with the idea of love and romance in books and myown writing. I wonder if I will ever get over it.

Reading Response #3

Reading Response #3
 
Dead until Dark

Charlaine Harris

Pgs. #62-198

Reading this book, I continue to be overrun with questions bursting through my head. In this book, someone is killing people in Bon Temps. My biggest question through this reading was who is it? Who tried to poison the vampires with Sino-Aids? Who killed Dawn? Who killed Gran but intended to kill Sookie? All these questions have yet to be answered but I’m sure all of them will have the same response. Many of the town’s people believe that it was the vampires from Munroe but I highly doubt that it was. They we’re burned because the town wanted security, but they will soon find out that it accomplished nothing in the grand scheme of things. I’m very confused as to why Sookie is now being targeted. Dawn and Maudette we’re connected to vampires because they enjoyed them as lovers, but Sookie wasn’t into one until recently. I’m sure she will continue to be targeted, but why? I’m hoping to have the answer soon.

I had many predictions throughout my reading. I knew that Dawn was going to be hurt in some way because Sookie just seemed to walk into every bad situation throughout this book. She seems to always be connected to the victims or be around them when they die. Another one is that Sam is not human. He continues to prove this fact by being able to block his mind from Sookie and know when she’s there. That’s automatically a signal that he’s not human. It has yet to be proven. It also seems as if the person or creature who is murdering people has a grudge against vampires. It seems they could be trying to frame the vampires so they will get blames. I also think that her brother, Jason, will become psychotic. He would go against his sister. It has been proven when he hit her over who owned their grandmother’s house after Gran was murdered.  I knew that Sookie was going to want a break with Bill after he murdered her Uncle. Even if he hated him for molesting her as a child, it pointed out that Bill wasn’t human. She would have to think about whether she would be willing to be with a vampire when she would age and he would not. My last prediction is Eric is going to try and take Sookie from Bill. He is an older vampire so he does have a sort of seniority over Bill. He will use it to his advantage. Sookie will stay with Eric because he will threaten Bill.

I didn’t have many comments. Just about the people of the little town and how they all work together. When you’re in that small of a town, you get very connected with the people around you. Nothing is secret. So when one person was angry with the vampires, everyone became angry because it passed along through every person and the anger grew until they went and burnt down the vampire Munroe house. It was amazing in a way that they could accomplish that.

I made a text to text connection again through the same Night Huntress series. In that series, when you are a vampire, you have a certain power level. As you get older, that power level grows. A vampire can sense that power level and will respect the older ones. Same as in this series, because Eric was older, Bill respected him and also feared him. It’s a common trait in many vampire series.  A text to self connection I made was when Sookie’s grandma was murdered. She didn’t want to do anything or go anywhere and she didn’t for three days. When my great grandma died, I had the same sentiments. I didn’t want to go anywhere. The grief did pass, but it did take a couple days at least.

Tramtic Events Rant

Tramatic events.

Yes. Tramatic events are terrible. But is the outcome just as terrible? Do you not learn and grow from these events? When it comes to these sort of things, you have to keep an open mind or you can shut down emotionally and physically. These events can bring many people closer together when they have seperated. It can bring about better communication. Better relationships. When a traumatic event occurs, you become dependent on the people around you, there for the relationship will become stronger because they were there for you. Do not look down on those traumatic events. Everything happens for a reason. Any type of bad event is there to help you grow as a person.

Grad Trip?

 
These are cliffs on the coast of Ireland. I will be traveling there this year as a graduation present to myself. It'll be nice to finally get a chance to see a part of Europe before going to University in the fall.

Bombers for life!

 
This is my favorite Winnipeg Blue Bombers player, Doug Brown. I watch a lot of CFL football. Sadly he retired last year but he still narrates the games over the radio. The Bombers may not be doing good this year and will have to scrape this season, but this picture is proof that they can make it to the Grey Cup. They we're the East Division Champions.

Song close to my Heart

Angel by Sarah Mclachlan
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
 
This song is very close to my heart. My mom has been singing it to me since i was a little girl. My mom and i are very close and i dont know what i would do without her. I've been to two of Sarahs concerts and she is always amazing.

Song of the Moment #1

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'Till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home   
 
 
This happens to be my favoirte song of the moment. I just started listening to Christina Perri about a week ago but i think i've fallen in love with her voice and music. It has a lot of depth and meaning and i'm very much so into romance, so any song of love i love to listen to.

Digital footprint

My digital footprint includes Facebook, tumblr, gmail, hotmail and an apple sign. They are all programs I use. They are branched together because they all need the Internet. They all have forms of social networking as well. I may not have a very big digital footprint, but they are frequently used through out my daily schedule.

Reading Reflection #1 + 2 put together

Reading Respone #1+2
 
Dead until Dark

Charlaine Harris

Pgs. #1-62

Starting to read this book took no time at all. Although I have a lot of questions that being to surface as I read. My very first one was what was Sookies disability? It was answered quickly when it was said that she could read other’s minds without even trying. After this was answered, it lead to why did everyone believe that she was crazy if she could for sure say exactly what you had been thinking? It wouldn’t be hard to prove it and what does she have to lose when everyone believes she’s crazy anyways. I’m sure she doesn’t want to use it because it makes it harder to stay around people if they are thinking hateful or degrading things. When a vampire shows up in town and not just any town, but a hill Billy trailer kind of town, you can’t help but wonder why he would chose that place to stay. The question was answered when he discussed with Sookie that someone from his family had died and he had gained land. He was tired of wandering from city to city. There was only one question that constantly stayed in my mind throughout my reading. Why was Bill drawn to Sookie? Yes she’s different and yes she’s more accepting but that doesn’t seem to be the whole reason. She is still a human after all. Being around human kind can be dangerous to a vampire, so why be with Sookie?

I didn’t have many predictions to make. My very first prediction was that a vampire was going to appear in the bar Sookie was working at. It was quite obvious with how much the Author had been foreshadowing in Sookies thoughts.  One was that Sookie would be attacked by the Rats after she saved Bill. It was correct. It happened a couple pages later. She was almost killed. My latest prediction is that somehow, Sookie is going to be caught up in a vampire mess she is no longer going to want to be a part of and it is going to threaten those she cares for. What kind of mess you ask? That is what I’m not quite sure of as of now.

Some comments I had we’re mostly on character traits. At first, I was not happy with the idea of the main character seeming as innocent as a child. She didn’t have that much experience or knowledge of the world. My view of her changed when Sookie took out the rats to save Bill from being drained of his blood. I began to admire her character more for her courageous traits. She had absolutely no hesitation. I also admired her Grandmother. She was so fascinated with the idea of vampires, she had no fear. Her open mind in this kind of situation was refreshing. If this we’re to ever happen in real life, I don’t think our world would react in the same light.

I had made a connection from text to text with this book and another series I have read. It’s called the Night Huntress series by Jeanine Frost. In her series, vampires, when they are old enough (called masters), we’re able to fly and levitate as Bill was able to do. Bill also said that every vampire can do something different it is also the same in that series. Some have telekinesis, telepathy, etc. Kind of like how humans have different traits that they are better at than others. I have also had a text to self connection when Sookie knew her gran had specifically stayed awake so she could get information out of Sookie about her walk with Bill. My parents have been known to sit in the porch and wait for us to come back. I’m sure Sookie shared my feelings in this time, very embarrassed. Another text to text connection I made was when Bill spoke of taking blood from willing prostitutes. That has to be a factor in almost every vampire book I have ever read. Must be because they are easy to manipulate, they will not be missed, and also are able to satisfy both of their needs.

New adventure

Since my old book has gone to another universe, I have taken on a book I never thought I would read, the first of the true blood series. I have no interest in the tv series, so im hoping the books will be a lot better and maybe even bring about an understanding as to why my parents watch it.

Reading

Reading is wonderful, an escape from the reality that we have no control over whatsoever...now if only my book would stop running away from me and let me find it so i can continue into that world. (:

Exhaustion

Is there any true way to beat this ugly disease? I feel as if i've been an insomniac lately and it doesn't seem to want to let up. It's been a long two weeks.

Rambling Autobiography

My name is Jacqueline Paquette. This blog was created for creative writing and for the social interaction between my class and teacher. From this blog, i want to obtain a certain higher level of writing and a vaster vocabulary. Hopefully to begin to write more often, for i have not writen as much as i've wanted to in the last couple years. Also, to be able to post certain things i have written for others to see for the first time unless you count my teachers. Writing is something of an adventure, along with reading. I've always enjoyed these adventures. Theres so many different hobbies I am into. Music is a true passion of mine. Hopefully it will become easier to check in on this blog daily, which i'm not used to doing. The only blog i have updated for longer than a couple months is tumblr, so i don't know how well i will do this but as my friends have continued to say for the last couple days...

YOLO <3

(i actually hate that saying...)
