For one of this weeks Daily Creates the assingment (http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc185/) was to draw a tornado. Drawing has never been one of my talents; I am 22 and still draw stick figures. However, whever I think of tornadoes, I think of the Taz the Tazmanian Devil. So before doing this assingment I watched a few episodes of Looney Tunes and googles Taz and then I began the drawing process, which consisted of drawing about 10000000 ovals to get the right shape. I think I did Taz proud.

Another daily create that was assingned this week was (http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc186/) to take a picture of an outdoor scene with nothing that is of humans in sight. To do this assingment I went out of my aunts back door, took a few steps and was suddenly surrounded by forest, at which point I took the picture. Seeing as though I am not a big fan of nature (although I have gone green) I did this assignemnt at hyperspeed. Nature and I have never been on the same page, either it’s a nice day and allergies kick my butt or its super hot/cold and allergies still kick my butt it’s a catch 22, which is funny because if my daughter could live outside, she would!

Here’s my sound:

One of this week’s Daily Create’s (http://tdc.ds106.us/) couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The assingment was to make a video, telling everyone about your favorite piece of jewlery and to tell everyone how it became yours. I decided to tell the story about how I recieved my grandmother’s wedding band and why it means so much to me. A few weeks ago my dad gave me my grandma’s wedding band, which is not out of the ordniary for familys to do, but in this situation it meant a lot. My dad who raised me is not my biological dad, although you would never ever hear him utter those words because he never saw me as a ”step kid”, and out of all the other girls that are on that side of the family, I was the one to receive the ring. Not because he felt obligated, but because I am the oldest daughter of the oldest male and nothing less.

People around me were sleeping, so I tried to be quiet. Hope you can understand.

I’m having a problem getting the hang of WordPress. I’ve downloaded plugins and things still don’t seem to be working right. For example with my audio, when I try to play it back nothing happens. I was okay before with the pictures.. But the audio, just wont cooperate.

Doing an audio weekly letter is a bit different. Hearing myself talk is super different, I had no idea that, that is how I sound… because that is definitely not how it sounds in my head! Oh well here is goes…….Week #5 Letter Home
