Avatar- No, Not The "Blue People" From That Movie

Discussion by: Anonymous on Tue, 2013-02-26 15:11 with 4 comments

To create an avatar that showed my culture, hobbies, and school, I used a photo editing website called ippicy.com. I found and saved images from the internet that I wanted to include for my avatar. I then uploaded these images on the photo editing website. The first image I uploaded was the “background” picture. It was of a sunset. It represented the country Ecuador, where my mother is from. Then, I inserted a picture of music notes. Making music is something I love to do. I faded the picture and moved it onto the top of the image of the sunset.

The book "Understanding Homicide" is very detailed and allows for me to describe the methods of killing and reference them with the reason of killing. A very important quote I've encountered is "It is these psychological or personality traits(such as impulsiveness, excitement-seeking or assertiveness) that apparently account for what is termed 'behavioural consistency' within individuals.

Upon doing research on my Personal Project topic, I've come to find this book very helpful in terms of the psychological development of criminals. However not the biological and scientific developments. The chapters mainly focus not on motive but the rates and crime scenes. My topic specifically focuses on the psychology and how criminals come to be what they are. Whether it is biological or environmental or emotional. This book includes

This Year

This year was a bit of a downer for me because of my stressful time and my laziness to get work down. Due to the workload, I think I've let myself down and believe that I can never get the work done so I do not try too hard. Instead, I proscrasinate and busy myself with outdoor activities. This only inspires me to do better and quit fooling around and telling myself that I can't.

Tears of servitude wore on his face. Those once bright hazel eyes were now glazed over with a deep black which could peer into the soul of a person with the toughest exterior. With each morning he rose, his orange juice was accompanied by that clear Devil’s liquid in his flask. The kitchen had changed in the few years he had entered daily. Those bright faces he used to see with the rosy cheeks and all the worlds ambition was now replaced with little parts of him which he had lost. All traces of morality were gone and all his values reflected were the beliefs forced on him by his wife.

Opinion on Sex

I believe that sex is a priority in maintaining a population. However, I believe that there are too many people going around exposing themselves to the dangers of sex. If you are to have sex, I believe that you should have some priorities for thyself.

Opinion on Abstinence

The person I admire the most is Amber Heard, an exceptional actress with firm beliefs on attraction to humans. Not only does she act well, but she acts for her own well-being. Amber Heard clearly came out saying she finds someone attractive not because of their sex but because of how and who they are. This made me really support her idea and she became my role model. She came out saying she had a girlfriend and said she shouldn't hide it because it is disrespectful and shows that she does not love her girlfriend.
