WRIT200 Blog Post #5: Spiders
Will this blog one day have a real theme? Who knows? For now, I'll continue simply talking about anything I find interesting. This is Letters From a Not-Quite Lunatic, after all. Maybe by the end I'll achieve full lunatic status and enter my final, most powerful form, but regardless, today is the day I talk about spiders.
I think maybe it all started when I was little, out of a desire to be fearless (or perhaps, the simple recognition that I was fearless about uncommon things, just as the things I did fear were usually odd). My mom and brother were both terrified of spiders, so when my dad was at work (a.k.a. most of the time), it fell to me with my concerning ability to switch off my emotions for a task to be the slayer of these mighty, tiny beasts.
I took pride in my warrior's status for years, only having one or two big scares (wrapping a towel around yourself out of the shower to see a huge wolf spider right on the front of it is not for the faint of heart), but over time I went from apathy to an actual affection for them.
The seed was planted most likely by my nana, who told me she was glad to have spiders around because they were good for her garden, eating all the smaller bugs that preyed on the plants. They were protectors, in that way. Nature's guardians.
I kept this in mind as the years passed, especially as I found myself to be a rather odd and lonely child. What was so offensive, I wondered, about a little creature who traveled alone and ate flies? We don't even have more than two species of venomous ones in my state. I pondered this, as I tended to ponder things.
My life changed drastically at twelve when my mom had my little sister and we outgrew my childhood home. We moved to the east side of town and bought a house built in the 70s with problems I don't even blame the seller for tiptoeing around. It was my parents' first time buying a home, being just ahead of millennials in being able to do so at all, and it was certainly an experience.
The house had a finished basement (a somewhat generous term, in hindsight), and I alone slept down there in a room we had to erect a small wall to create. And perhaps it was the eerie backyard pool just outside my ground-level window (by pure coincidence and having been built in the 70s, it was the exact same blueprint as the one they filmed at in season 1 of Stranger Things), or the fact that the stresses of school difficulty and caring for my little sister were beginning to truly wear on me, but I couldn't find it in me to worry very much about my constant roommates, the basement spiders.
I think I used to kill them at first, but there were so many of them that after a while I got tired of it, and unless they were in or near my bed I began to leave them alone. I would idly watch them crawl along the wall or the floor, and something like compassion for them began to grow in me. We weren't so different, really. Small, lonely things who kept to the shadows and watched as good, social, normal people turned up their noses. As time went by and life changed, another sibling came along and school got harder, we moved again, twice, and I grew only more wracked with anxiety, I began to almost see spiders as a sign of good luck. A small moment of companionship between me and the creature, two otherwise unconnected beings who despite the so-called ways of the world, had no desire to kill each other.
A couple of years ago I even got a plush spider at a gift shop. It looked cute to me, with its big shiny eyes, and it had just the right constitution to squeeze. I named it Paolo, and with the exception of my youngest two siblings my family found it rather horrid.
"What's with the spider?" a relative asked. "Why would you get something scary for a stuffed animal?"
I pointed out that bears were quite scary too if you actually came across one, but had been the standard stuffed toy for around a century with no complaint.
"Well, you can at least see the good things about bears," I was told, "like how they care for their young. This is just…creepy and evil."
I didn't say that spiders protected gardens, or often died for their young. I forgot. I was quieted.
But despite their rampant unpopularity, I still find myself defending the little creatures, perhaps all the more because they're so universally hated. I tend not to trust human vitriol, I suppose. We often aim it at things, or even people, who have committed no sin but inconveniencing us or being a bit too "different" for our personal comfort.
It does things for the soul, I think, to love a horrible little creature who can give you nothing back. Perhaps, then, there is hope for yourself, too.

pre-study session message to myself"
Hi there...
Okay, so you're not doing the best, are you?
But youre not doing the worst, right?
Right.
So here's what you're going to do:
You're going to finish your assignments, take the overload as a lesson to not procrastinate on them again, and use your remaining time to prepare ahead.
You're going to study for those tests, you're going to do your best to ace them.
You're going to drink that fucking water. You're going to not worry about how much you're eating, or how your eating habits are fluctuating- because so far, that's only making them worse. You need a break.
You're going to think about yourself, and yourself only. You're going to forget everyone else at school right now.
Can you do that?
Yes.
The only question that remains...is will you?

January
Feelings run fast through our veins, a wild river in our flesh, an uncontrollable shock we will feel. Once again, the multi-faceted and clamorous life would pass by inside our minds; pinning the guilt, regret, acceptance, and breakthrough.
Oh, January how merciless and beautiful you are.

24 more days until school starts
I've mostly just been chilling at home recently. Tomorrow I have voice and guitar lessons. Then on Monday I'm doing a Jumpstart program at my school for two weeks. Then I get two and a half more weeks off, and school starts on the 17th of August. My mom signed me up for the Jumpstart since I'm a freshman in high school now, and idk what I'm doing tbh. So yeah, that's that. I've been preparing my supplies for school and I charged my iPad. So yeah, there's that.

BLOGPOST8: close and far connections
Growing up around everyone using technology and social media, it is hard not to use it yourself. Over the years I have met people online that have become some of my closest friends. Finding others on social media that have the same interests as you make for great conversation and connections. Some of my friends who I grew up with that do not live close anymore use social media to keep in touch. We send funny posts and messages to one another. We also keep each other updated by sending pictures and video messages. It is hard keeping a close connection with someone who is so far away. When there are multiple methods of communication and virtual activity then it makes it easier. I believe it is easier to keep a close relationship with people we see often or every once in a while. People we do not see all of the time tend to drift apart or do not have as close of a relationship. By keeping in touch through social media and other forms of virtual communication, we can keep a better connection with those we do not see as often. I enjoy using social media because I believe it is a good way of keeping up with others you know even if you do not interact with them all the time.

It’s been ages since I’ve posted
its been a while, so here’s what’s happened since I last posted:
- the girl that my friends kept annoying me to date has told me her feelings for me I also like her back but I cannot find the chance to ask her out. I was planning to yesterday, but then we saw my two other friends and they came along with us and hung around all day. one of the other friends that came along decided to really annoy me. he wouldn’t let me talk to anyone other than him, and every time I tried to talk to anyone else (even on texts) he would interupt by either taking my phone or walking in between and changing the topic. it really annoyed me so when he took my phone for like the 80th time I decided to walk away to teach him a lesson. my friend said that he felt bad, yet never apoligised.
-I finished all my exams and now I have like 2 weeks of doing nothing because I’m off school, but I’m happy that we go back to school quite soon. I am almost 100% sure that I have failed math, which isn’t good because that means that I am forced to do it again.

the fall semester cometh
Okay! It is time to register for fall classes!
I’ll be taking math, biology, and French in the fall. That’s the only real update on the school front! I’m waiting to hear back about some credits my old school awarded that two different counselors at this school have said they’d check on but I haven’t heard anything back yet. Here’s hoping because that would allow me to have one less class to take.
In other news, I finally started guitar lessons! I like my teacher a lot. He’s got a super chill outlook on music in general but also very clearly knows his stuff to a ridiculous degree so I think I’m in good hands. Ive been having a lot of fun playing lately so I’m just excited to have someone to guide me a bit.

𝟎𝟒/𝟎𝟗/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒
Sooo I'm currently on spring break and I feel like this is finally a good opportunity to break into a bunch of new good habits! Today I plan on setting some goals for myself and maybe telling you a bit about my day and stuff :)
I'll break this down into a couple sections...
𝙰𝚌𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚌 𝚐𝚘𝚊𝚕𝚜
During quarters 1-3 of the school year I was kind of out of it, I didn't really study or do much. I wasn't up to my own standards and I think that's because I didn't really set clear standards for myself. I feel if I start planning more and setting more goals I can have improved motivation and productivity that I've yet to experience. During this last quarter of the school year I want to actually be active in school and mentally, here's some goals I've set...
bring all my average grades up to at least A's (bio is killing me ;-;)
make quizlets for each class to prepare for finals !!
to start actively participating in class taking notes and finally raising my hand
to actually spend at least one day a week studying (a small start— but an impactful one :3)
𝙰𝚝𝚑𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚌 𝚐𝚘𝚊𝚕𝚜
I've never really been an athletic person until now. My whole life I was never forced into sports or anything, I always wanted my mom to do something like that, but she never did, and with that I just grew up kind of lazy. At the age of 11 I picked up gymnastics but then stopped due to the pandemic, I didn't really train or anything so I didn't improve till I started taking classes again, I've been taking classes for around 2 years straight now but only recently I actually started taking gymnastics seriously, I've realized that I could be just as good as the girls I long to be like if I'd only put in the work and effort.
I didn't really realize how much I liked sports up until a couple weeks ago when I impulsively joined my schools track team out of boredom, I'm lowkey one of the worst on the team, but from the bottom you can only move upwards! Now I really want to take my sports seriously, I'm on my gymnastics pre-competitive team and I'm thinking about committing to their bronze team this fall, but I need to actually put in effort now, and I really need to improve at track. Here's my current goals that I'm aiming for...
to start stretching everyday
to run a mile everyday till I can reach a 5 minute mile easily
to get a 15 second 100m dash (guys I'm slow ik...)
to vault 6ft on pole vault
to regain my lost skills on bars (after my last gymnastics comp I keep getting overly anxious before doing legit the easiest skills on bars)
to train my core more
𝙷𝚊𝚋𝚒𝚝𝚜
My mental states been pretty messy recently, but I've been contemplating what's factoring into it and I'm come to the conclusion that my habits need to improve, they've been negatively effecting me for too long, now it's time I implement good habits. I always procrastinate, I think but never do, my rooms a mess which ='s my brain being a mess. I need to get myself together by cleaning and starting new good habits, some of these habits include...
working out and stretching everyday (as mentioned before!)
making sure to do my skincare every morning and every night (recently I've finally invested in some new skincare products and this is really a helpful habit both physically and mentally for me)
cleaning my room and keeping it clean
having me time (whether it be reading a book or playing a lil video game by myself, I feel like as an extrovert I literally force myself to be around or on call with people 24/7 and I think I need to start having time to reflect and be just Kay for a minute)
𝚁𝚎𝚓𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚙𝚢
(my version)
I feel like my whole life I've been terrified of rejection, I've let it get a hold of me. Sometimes I miss out on really good things, since I'm too anxious of the possibility of an unhappy outcome. I think what really made me wanna start rejection therapy is that a week or so ago I applied for this really cool looking job at a creative workshop and got rejected due to my word choice and not diving deep enough into my experiences within the application, it really upset me. I finally put myself out there and I got rejected. Rejection is really scary, I've confessed to like 3 people and gotten rejected 2/3 times... I feel as though I need to prove to myself that rejection isn't that bad, if it's meant to be it'll be, and if it doesn't that is perfectly fine. To combat this fear and disappointment rejection gives me I'm going to put myself out there more. Who knows, maybe good will come out of this too :) I'm gonna start... (these aren't really 100% rejection but I think they'll help me be less scared of the possibility of rejection yk?)
applying for more jobs
signing up for more possible opportunities
entering more contests
trying to talk to more new people (I'm always terrified that they'll tell me to go away or that I'm annoying or something)
Anyways sorry for the yap fest!! I'll be updating on my goals every once in a while sooo stay tuned ig :)

WRIT200 Blog Post #2 - Opinion: It's Time to Let Realism Die
Before people come after me in the notes, no, I do not mean philosophical realism or that nobody can make cool paintings that look like photos anymore.
What I mean is that blunt artistic realism as an approach to modern media is no longer serving art or audiences as a whole, and we desperately need to let ourselves grow beyond it.
Before color film, we wanted color to make things look more real and accurate. Now, our phones have filters to turn photos black and white for aesthetic purposes. Popular 3D animation used to strive for totally lifelike textures and as much detail as possible, and now with things like the Spider-Verse franchise we're seeing it branch out beyond that into artistic symbolism.
As humans, as audiences, we instinctively understand that the most technically realistic depiction of something is not always the most entertaining, aesthetically pleasing, or effective in its message. Hence, things such as hyperrealistic CG lions are certainly an impressive feat of special effects, but they don't capture audience hearts the way that the original, distinctly stylized cartoon did. Can you imagine if something like The Muppets was computer-generated rather than actually puppeteered? Perhaps it would look more like characters moving on their own, free of the signs of human intervention, but in its attempt to look more "real" it would actually lose its authenticity. We wouldn't feel like it was more realistic, because we are accustomed to and enamored by the way that puppets move when real people operate them.
It is my solid belief that humans crave the handprint. We don't want things to be accurate so much as we want to see ourselves and each other in them. We want to see that they were crafted with a purpose, not just copied or imitated from what we can already observe.
One of my favorite examples of this is the way I felt sitting in the theater at the start of TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, and appreciating a small but telling detail in the art style. The camera panned forward over the city, staying long enough that I could clearly see a stoplight above an intersection, and I noticed that each circle on the stoplight (red, green, and yellow) was a different, roughly sketched shape.
It is not difficult to make perfect circles in any art or animation program. A realistic stoplight would have been an incredibly easy, almost thoughtless choice. But that wouldn't say anything. A stoplight on its own is just a stoplight. A scribbled-in, oddly shaped stoplight gives the audience the additional imagery of childhood drawings, New York's chaotic atmosphere, and the inherent strangeness of a film about mutant turtles with martial arts skills.
Realism isn't bad, but it's so often used as a thoughtless default that it no longer communicates enough information to be truly interesting. Realism has just become static, perfectionist copywork, and in doing so, has lost its human touch.
So let it die, or let it sleep, and let us be moved by the implausible and decidedly alive.

Day 2 blog
It is April 10, 2024 8:39 pm
Omg guys today was actually so good!!
I had testing but it was super easy because it was math and I’m pretty good at math and the day just went by pretty quickly so that was very nice 👍
I helped my brother out with his homework and he was being really nice today but I did have to clean the bathrooms and my room but it was super fun I put on nice music and I always feel good when I get everything clean and my room looks so good!!!
I took a shower pretty late because I just got done with cleaning but it was a quick and calming shower, I washed my hair, got my pajamas on, did my skincare, lit a candle, put some hair oil in, and put on so calming music and I’m just going to chill before going to bed
Days do get way better and I know some feel like the end of the world but the next day is a new day and you can restart change your mindset and be a new person every day and every moment and I know this sounds a little cringe but this month has been a blast of emotions and I really needed a good day like today to remind me that not everything is so terrible
I hope you guys have the best days and a amazing year 💕💕💕
Today 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️

Pompo: The Cinéphile
Today, I learned what Cinéphile meant, it means a person who really loves cinema/movies.
I learned this word from watching the movie “Pompo: The Cinéphile” with my partner today. I know who would've thought I would learn about the word cinephile in a movie that has that word specifically on it. Anyways, me and my partner were planning to watch a movie today and we came across this movie, the poster was intriguing so we watched the trailer for it, we both were in shocked to see how eye catching the animation is on the small parts that we saw on the trailer and was even more surprised on what the story was about. My partner proceeded to tell me about what he knew about the movie on how it was a movie showing the struggle and passion and the making of a Movie it seemed so interesting so we gave it a shot.
The movie started, we were excited to learn more about the cinema world and how things would work. It started with a musical note which was very catchy and the small introduction of the main cast that we will be seeing more often soon showing how they are slight, giving us a glimpse of who they truly are. While a woman performed on stage with stunning visuals, literally that was good animation! They were showing the location they were at and me and my boyfriend laughed at the sight of “Nyallywood” we made fun of it saying nyamerica and nyalifornia, after that we were introduced to the character Pompo, she's apparently a genius producer and we saw more of her skills as she talked about movies with her assistant gene ho looked like he needed sleep like seriously, the story moves on form gene getting late for auditions and the introduction of other characters.
It is later revealed that Pompo picked Gene because she saw potential in him so she entrusted Gene to make a move from the script she wrote and Gene was nervous. I mean even I would if it suddenly happened like that. I love how they slowly put in characters we saw from the beginning and showing the importance of the situation that's happening right now, so they got to work Gene was trying his best and how he was a loner before and stuck in his own world thinking about movies since he loved them so much so he wanted to really make his first movie the best he can it really showed how hard the work is being a director editing the the movie, marketing and finding sponsors for the movie the cinema world is scary.
I don't wanna bore and spoil too much of the movie so I'll be Moving forward seeing the amazing visuals animation that they put on and more info about the movie production scene. Watching the movie really gave me an insight on how hard it is. Me and my partner loved watching the movie and it really showed how the characters struggled and especially Gene. Gene struggled to put himself in his movie, not in the literal sense no, put himself in a way of doing it because he's passionate, making his movie because it's his movie and his mark on the world and so he made his movie inspiring others at hand. I saw how hard the industry really is, but I also saw why we do things we do as people and as artists of our craft to inspire people and make our mark on the world.
