12/13- Poems
12/13- What is Beauty?
To me, it's different. The best way for me to describe what I feel is beauty by saying Beauty is Photography.
If you look at photography, each picture shows a moment in life, weather good or bad. It doesn't have to really be 'beautiful' physically in the picture, it just has to mean something more then just 'it looks nice'.
Beauty to me is a moment captured in time that inflicts strong emotion, and creates feelings. Happy ones, sad ones, angry ones, and everything else in between.
I had a previous blog about a picture from National Geographic that I believe means something. Now, when I went to there website I realized what a wonderful example that site was, especially the one collection of pictures about humans and cultures. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, visiting that site is a wonderful idea. It really is beautiful to see.
A lot of pictures might not even have anything really extraordinary about it. Like this picture:
Great. It's a whole bunch of pigeons. But that's not my point, is it. Look at it closely, how dose it make you feel? What does it make you think of? Why? It's only a bunch of birds, right? Or is it really? Does this picture mean more then it leads on?
This picture too. All the colors and movement. Fun, right? The excitement and brightness. This picture has to say something. It's all about catching the moment. Feeling the slit second. It's beautiful.
And this one. Just a tunnel right? But maybe this picture makes you feel curious. what's around the corner? Where are these people going? Or maybe this tunnel makes you feel a kind of loneliness. It's so empty. Are these people running away? Maybe just going away for any other reason. Are they leaving their family? Wife's? Children?
Photography presents beauty.
12/13- What have I learned?
I've noticed a lot change in me when it comes to thinking about different things. It's more so of the blogs then the articles that make me feel like that. Even when it's something all about why Nate Bailey is "The Boss", the blogs help me think more out of my own bubble.
Describe your writing process.
Biggest thing is the general idea. A subject always comes first. Then think about what you're trying to write. Like if my subject was birds, I want to think about that I'm trying to tell my readers about birds. Birds, they're the coolest animal. NOW, I want to think about how I'm going to tell the reader the bird is the coolest animal. Birds, they're the coolest animal, because they can fly. And TA-DA~
What do you like to write about?
I like writing stories more. I mean, I like Online Publishing, It's cool, but if I had to pick between Online Publishing and Creative Writing, I'd take Creative Writing. I like writing fiction, horror, fantasy. Something imaginative, that I created all by myself.
What do you not like to write about?
Myself. In the blogs when I'm asked 'What do you like?' or 'What's your favorite...?' or 'What do you like to do?' I'm not really SURE why, but I really think it's not enjoyable to write about. Maybe because I like creating stories rather then repeat something I go through daily.
What impact, if any has this class had on your writing?
Mostly, It's made me think in a completely different way of writing. As I said, I really like writing fiction and stories, and now that I'm writing articles and events that are actually happening, it's defiantly something new to me.

12/9- "What's really going on..."
My now grimy hands tugged at whatever weeds they could scout out. The strawberries in my mothers garden were ripe, but sadly, there was little that even grew. No one in my family really had an outstanding green thumb.
tap tap
My patience was wearing thin, but I knew my strict mother would scan and make me redo any parts I missed.
tap tap
I blew out a strong, heavy sigh. Today was going to be long...
tap tap
I turned, viewing what was poking at my side. "Oh! It's only you Starchy."
"G'mornin' Miss'us!" I saw the chattering gnome waddle his way to my side, addressing me like he always did.
"Morning Starchy. What's the scoop today?" I leaned back, clapping my hands together in the way you would wipe dirt from them. The soil is under my nails.
"WELL, here's what's really going on." He gave me that look that ment he was really onto something today. "The pentagon has a plan to get rid of some of the population, because their planning to move to Mars, and because Mars is smaller, we need to get rid of some people to fit the world. That's why they created the Swine Flu!" I looked at him skeptically. Here he goes again.
"I thought Mars was inhabitable..." He leaned towards me in a whisper.
"That's what they want you to think." Oh geez. Here we go again.
12/9-My fav. Childhood game.
It's a video game I played when I was younger for the PS2, when it first came out. The creators of the game were called Naughty Dog. They're the same company who made the old Crash Bandicoot games, and currently make the Uncharted series for the PS3.
I even play the same game to this day, with it's outdated graphics and all. When I was a kid, the game was so challanging, but now, as I'm older, I can beat the whole game in a matter of hours. It's extremely easy to me now. Like...pathetically easy. Then again the game is for little kids.
That game was so much fun, no loading screens or anything. It was a platform game, meaning if you saw a mountain off in the distance, you could literally walk all the way to that mountain. A free roam kind of game.
And of course, now there's sequels of the game which are way more mature and complicated. Like JakII, Jak3, JakX, and Daxter. I'm such a nerd, I have every single one of those games, except Daxter, because I don't have a PSP.
To this day, if you ask me to play that game, there is no way I'd deny the offer. I'll play that game over and over and over again, until there were no counsols left in the world that you could play a PS2 game on.
12/9/10-Fav. Childhood T.V. show
I used to watch it religiously with my older brother Adam. he's almost exactly 10 years older then me, with his birthday on June 1st, and mine and my twin brothers on the 7th. When he turns 29 next June, I'll turn 19 a few days after. I looked up to him a lot when I was younger, even to the point where I'd watch him play Resident Evil, a zombie based video game, even though I knew I'd get nightmares the day after.
So the fact that I liked a television show that he'd want to watch with me was really important to me. He would always shoo me away when his friends were older, and kick me out of his room when he was playing Resident Evil because he didn't want me waking him up because I was scared to be alone late in the night. It's as simple as he was older, and didn't want to hang out with his annoying little sister.
So every week night, around 6p.m. the show would start, and we'd sit in the living room together, wondering if Goku will really be able to save the world once again, or if Vegeta would betray the team of hero's. Maybe a new bad guy would come, or maybe the guy who died last episode would turn out alive, and just did some awesome trick to do so. It was super fun to enjoy the show with him.
I always loved that show, but the biggest reason I liked it so much is because I had someone to enjoy it with me.

11/29-National Geoghraphic
I chose this picture because of it's sheer beauty. I'm a big fan of photography, and all of the pictures I saw on the National Geographic website were gorgeous. It was so hard to pick just one.
I picked this one though, because of the brilliant camera angle. The was the photographer shot it made the water shine directly under the mans feet, whether is was intended or not. The angle also make him more of a silhouette, but still showing some of his features, rather then if the sun was directly behind him, which would make him almost a complete shadow. The BEST thing about the angle though, is not only dose it show how close the man is to the edge, but the vast deepness of the cliff behind him.
I was drawn to this picture because it made me feel so fragile, and small. It's more of an amazed feeling, seeing something that huge and beautiful next to a skinny, frail human. It's extraordinary.
I really love seeing pictures like this, showing something bigger then ourselves, in one quick moment. It's always nice to think more abstractly, whether you're an art major or not, viewing art is always a good time. A lot of people don't understand that you really don't need to adore art to have a valid opinion of it. It's everywhere, and one person could see more art a day then they realize. All you need is your own opinion.
But I feel like this picture shows way more then just a guy in water, near a cliff. It gives way more emotion then that, some I can't decipher, and others that are just to plain to not see. It's strange how simple it looks, yet how complicated it meaning may seem. Not only that, but different people see very different meanings.

11/22- "Fear Builds Walls"
Well in my opinion, it has something to do with how fear only breeds ignorance, while ignorance breeds fear. We're all scared of something, and most of those times its because there's something about it we don't know. Humans naturally fear the unknown. And usually if we're scared of something, we stay far away from it. So we'll never learn about it, reinforcing the 'fear breeds ignorance'.
If we fear something we'll become prejudice against it, whether it's from needles or some person. You'll hate them. Are you scared of spiders? Then you obviously hate spiders. And in some cases, like spiders, it doesn't necessarily create walls. But in other cases, like you're afraid of a person, whether you have a real legit excuse as to why or not, it'll build walls. You hate what they do, you hate what they stand for, you don't want to be involved with them, and you'll get protective of yourself if they're around.
Fear Builds Walls.
It's weird how people work. But to be honest, it's quite simple. If one of your best friends said a hilarious joke, you'd laugh, right? But what happens if someone to hated said it? You'd glare at them and probably say something along the lines of "Was that supposed to be funny?"
Think about it, really. It's just our initial reactions. It's human.
If someone's a threat, we fear them, and that fear turns into anger. And either way, it makes someone protective and closed off.

11/16- Fav Holiday
No doubt. If anyone even reads these blogs, you'll learn that I am a HUGE horror fan, and love costumes. So the holiday that devotes itself to horror and dressing up, I'm thumbs up for.
My favorite part about this holiday is probably the haunted houses. And I'm not talking about the lame ones. I'm talking about the Haunted Catacombs, and Fright World.
I love seeing scary movies, and they seem to come in the masses during Halloween. This year I saw a few, and I personally thought it was AWESOME~ I also REALLY like candy. Like....a lot.
So getting an insane amount of sugar just tops the whole thing off!
I remember when my mom used to make Jake and my costume all from scratch every single year. It was so fun to just tell her what I wanted, and seeing what she did with it. She was really good at knowing exactly what to do with the costume to make cool effects. It was awesome.
She was also really good at doing my make up and hair.
Now, I'm learning to do it all on my own. And so far...I'm not doing so hot. But I'm still learning, and I'm getting it all at a steady pace.....I think. I hope.
There's plenty of other talents that incorporate themselves into making a costume. In the 2009 year, I was a whale for Halloween. I didn't sew anything. Y'know what I did? I bent chicken wire into a whale shape, and paper mache'ed the whole thing, and spay painted it all. It took a little time, but it was super easy.
Halloween's always fun for me. ALWAYS. And every year, I clean out my candy bag in less then a week. It's just that good for me. DELICIOUS~
I even steal a bunch from my brother Jake.
11/16- Winning
It's not so much about beating someone, or the trophies and glory. I find it as an accomplished feeling because I know I have pushed myself, either body, mind or both, to improve and get better.
Winning is a very weird thing to discuss for me, I'm having trouble describing how I feel about it. Because I'm not trying to go the really cheezy way and say the nice thing "Winning doesn't matter."
Because in my belief, it dose. Now I know what you're thinking. "Wow Morgan, what a really cruel thing to say!" But It's different then that. It's not that I'm saying I don't care what happens, if I win I'm happy, BUT it's much more complicated then that.
Without winning, there is no ambition to win again, and no self value. If someone never one anything, they'll probably think of how pathetic they are because they believe they can't win anything, rather then they just didn't. It's just that they didn't win, when they think they can't. And that type of thought is only hurtful to them.
Now, losing is just as important as winning too in my opinion. Without losing you lose a sense of value. You don't really appreciate what you've obtained, and believe it's a divine right of yours rather then maybe the others need to practice more or something along those lines. Without losing, there is no sense of equality.
So this is my explanation to why winning is important, but not everything.

11/15- I'm Thankful for...
I'm thankful for the house I have, the father I have, the mother I have...not so much my brother. haha
I could've had abusive parents, or parents that neglected me. Jake can be difficult to deal with at times, but the fact is, if I was ever made fun of, or yelled at, he wouldn't waste a second in turning into a furious madman, and call them out. He's very...protective. But I know he cares, and that's what really matters.
I could not have a home. I could'a lived in a box, or in a country that has no clean water. Or a country that gave me no rights if I was arrested for no reason. I'm not perfect, and I'm sure I don't notice other things that I should be thankful for, so I'm thankful for those unknown thing's too.
I'm lucky I have a father that's able to support me and Jake even after our mother has passed away. And I'm lucky my mom didn't suffer too much before she passed. I'm lucky I have a boyfriend that doesn't hit me, and treats me like a lady, instead of his B-I-T-C-you know where I'm going with this.
I'm lucky I have three older brothers, that although they have a different father, still want to keep connected with me an Jake, instead of not care for us because we're not pure blood siblings. I'm lucky my dad isn't one of those fathers that'll choose my life for me, and get mad at me if I didn't live how he wanted me to live. I'm just purely lucky for more then I could even say in this blog. I'm just lucky. And I'm very thankful for having such an opportunity.
I hope one day, I'll be able to see all that I'm lucky for. And I'll be able to thank all of it.

11/12-Dinner with the Dead
Edger Allen Poe
I want to meet him because he's my favorite poet in the world. I admire him a lot. I love to write, and one thing I absolutely love to write the most is horror, and that is Poe's specialty. My favorite work by him is probably The Cask of Amontillado. Where the main character plans to plot revenge on another, getting the man drunk and disorderly before leading him down into some catacombs, and tying him up, right before closing the man in by building a brick wall in the only opening, sealing the man in a room with no way out, to die.
Jack the Ripper
I want to figure out what the hell happened. I don't really know why. And if I get to meet him, I want him in a strait jacket. Honestly? I have a theory of who Jack the Ripper is. Either he's 1. Man Bear Pig: Because that thing is BEAST. 2. Raptor Jesus: Just cause it's so like him to slaughter a bunch of hookers, and lastly 3. Bob Saget: Because he's Bob freakin' Saget. He'd do it. He can do ANYTHING. Then again.........I think I might know another person who could of done it. Chuck Norris. He can get away with anything. I'd love to have dinner with him. Hopefully he won't implode my face.
Karen Koziel
Cause she's my mom, and I miss her, of course. hahaha I could make her dinner for the first time and see how much she'll make fun of me for it for how FAIL it'll be. LOL
Sherlock Holmes
THAT MAN IS MY HERO. If he was real, I would adopt him, and have him figure out wear my freakin' car keys are! GENIUS. I literally think that this man is the greatest man on earth. Even though he's not real. lol

11/8- Thanksgiving
Our customs are the same, we watch the parade, we join our family, we eat a huge meal, and we talk and mingle. Nothing's really different besides the dressing up part.
The parade isn't always a 'custom' seeing as we don't ALWAYS watch it, but usually we do. I have a large amount of family members, and that means we need a big enough house to fit us all, so depending on who's willing to host the party, and has room for it means who's house were spending Thanksgiving at. And also the fact that I have planty of family members in other states, like Virginia, Texas, Washington, New Jersey and more, it varies every year on who is there because sometimes they can't always make it.
Usually family members that visit either see us at Thanksgiving, or Christmas, and the choice differs with every different family member. So somtimes a family mamber from Virginia will see us Thanksgiving, while the one from Texas sees us Christmas, but the next year they both show up at Christmas. It's always different.
And everyone always comes to New York to celebrate the holidays because most of the family lives here.
Whoever hosts the Thanksgiving party makes the turkey, and other members just collaborate and make the side dishes. Although, my cousin Becky always makes the deserts, because she is a baking expert. She even made her own wedding cake.

10/27- Injured
Not a lot of people really notice it, but it's actually a pretty big scar. About and inch in length, and a have inch in with. Its in plain sight, but I'd actually be surprised if people noticed it more often.
It'd mean the creeper would be staring at my right handed wrist.
I was seven at the time, and although I'm actually a polite kid now [or at least I think I'm polite] I was close to a nightmare when I was younger. I was violent, got into fights, and although I didn't bully kids, I wasn't exactly nice to them.
So one day, I forgot what exactly I got angry about, but I acted like a complete brat, being sent to my room after upsetting my dad. Once I gotten into my room, I believe I spent quite some time fuming and stomping in circles. I was pretty P.O.ed
I looked out my window, watching as everyone continued to play, only making me even angrier. I literally circled my room for an hour or two pouting like most kids would. I would keep looking out the window, over and over again, watching everyone else. I suddenly was fed up, and in a childish fit of anger, I balled my right fish, and thew it at the window.
I actually dont really remember hearing it breaking, or feeling any pain. The fact is, I didn't cut myself when I broke the window, it was when I drew my hand back to myself that the skin in my wrist tore.
I just kinda stared at it like an idiot for a bit before I realized "Hey tard face! You're bleeding!" At that moment I started to rush for my door, but stopped right as I was going to leave. Even though I had this giant gash in my wrist, I was more worried about getting in trouble for leaving my room while I was grounded.
I yelled fantically for my mom, who was in the kitchen, and wouldn't hear me that easily. Luckally my older brother was in his room which was right next to mine. He hear my screaming through his CD player, and immediatly ran to me, and squeezing his hand around my wrist to stop the bleeding once he saw the injury. After he carried me bridal style down stares, and showing my mother, the nurse, who took further care of me before going to the hospital.
I even watched as the doctors dabbed iodine, gave a numbing shot, and stitched up the cut.

10/25/10- Person who I look up too
Not only was she a dedicated mother. She was a dedicated nurse. She first married a man named Mr. Belmonte at age 19. Giving birth, and taking care of three children while also working her way through college. While going through medical school, she cooked, cleaned, helped my older half-brothers on anything they needed from homework to teaching them how to ride a bike, and still was able to tuck them in at night.
After finishing off a good marriage turned bad, she met and married my dad a few years later in her early thirties, soon having my twin brother Jake and I. She had a job in home nursing, going from house to house, and taking care of medical issues for patients who couldn't go to the doctors themselves. Either they were too weak, or in a mental state where it was difficult for them to take their medication, or even someone who needed daily shots. My mother did it all.
If you had a boo-boo, she clean and fix it up to stop the blood, and would give you a kiss to stop the tears. She was a grade-A nurse, and an even better mother. She didn't have a terrible life, but she had her fair share of trials, and the fact that she pulled through still as happy and loving as ever proves she's the best. She never missed a stride.
Even though she had a terribly busy schedule, she still knew how to cook the most delicous meals, and give all of her children the attention to feel more then loved. Even when she'd cook food for more then ten people, she's wait patiantly until she was sure everyone had their own plate before she even made a motion to get her own.
She was kind, understanding, talanted, gentle, and self less.
She was my nurse.
She is my hero.
She is my mother.

10/22 Creepiest Movie
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
10/19- Nate Bailey. Boss? Or not?
No one can be every singe definition of the term. Yes, I know. Not even Nate.
The question is, what TERM of 'The Boss' is Nate? Surley there is one definition that would fit him. A true 'Boss' really dose deserve a proper definition to his/her name. Nate should not be a boss, if he dose not get a designated term. Which is sad, because it's impossible for him NOT to be a Boss.
Choosing what kind of Boss Nate Bailey is obviously the most troubling task the species of man could ever go through. It's a daunting task, but it must be done.
Maybe it's 'A person who exercises conrol over workers'?
Or possibly you're refering to 'BOSS, the acronym for Biochemical and Organic Simulation System'. Need molecular mechanic calculations? Then the BOSS, is the one for you.
Possibly, what you really mean is the fictional character in the anime Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, created by Go Nagai, usually used for comic relief. And for those of you thinking it, yes, I know. I'm an anime nerd. You shouldn't be surprised I mentioned this.
OR MAYBE, Nate is 'Bo$$'. A female 'gangsta' rapper who was popular for only a short time in 1993. As for what her name 'Boss', stands for, well, that's not school appropriate.
Maybe even "The Boss", a song by a Russian rapper witten in 2009, or even the song under the same name, sung by Diana Ross?
But what Nate Bailey really stands for, is "The Boss" sung by Rick Ross.
Listen to it.
And then you will know.

11/14- Best meal ever
Garlic bread as a second side.
Because it's delicious, thats why. haha I just hate when you get premade garlic bread, that you didn't bake right, where the seasoning on time didn't melt correctly, so it's all buttery and gross.

10/8- RESIDENT EVIL: Degeneration
I wasn't kidding when I said I had no life. haha
If there's one thing I love, it's Zombie slaying. And this movie has plenty of it. If anyone reading this plays the games, they'll know exactly what I mean. This movie is completly C.G.ed, and is based off of the horror survival video game series RESIDENT EVIL.
The movie stars Leon S. Kennedy, the main male character on Residant Evil 2 and 4, and Claire Redfeild, the leading female character of Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica. Both of which are very recognizable faces when it comes to the franchize.
This movie was definetly horrifying. It's just as gory and suspensful as the games. The G-Virus makes a bug debut in this one, and for you people who don't know what the G-virus is, basically it's the T-virus, the virus that makes you into a zombie, on MAJOR steroids! Oh, and you automatically have a giant eyeball growing somewhere like on your shoulder. Creepy. I know.
I had alot of fun watching this movie, seeing familiar faces, and recognizable monsters. It's one of those nerdy things that when you see something you recognize, and you yell out like an idiot "OHHHH! NO WAY!". Just because. hahaha

10/01-Recent Visit
Goodbye responsibilities and hello childhood!
One place I just recently visited was Bounce Magic. And, dare I say, I loved it. If no one knows, Bounce Magic is a place mostly for ages falling in between two, too seven. Age ten the most. Me and my boyfriend went the first weekend of the school year, playing all the games, and going into every single bounce house.
Bounce Magic is a huge warehouse, with plenty of arcade games and prizes. But the main attractions are the multiple masses of bounce houses contained inside of the building. The different inflatable objects ranging from slides, to obstacle courses, to climbing walls, to the simple plain old bounce house. I’m probably WAY too old for it, but I absolutely couldn’t resist going. There was just no way I could’ve passed it up.
I defiantly plan on going again, and again.
And yes, if no one had noticed, I enjoy simple things. Although, next time I go, I’d probably bring my nieces or younger cousins with me, instead of just me or something. It’ll make them happy, and make me look like less of a creep. All I know for sure is that there are two Bounce Magic’s in the area. A smaller one in Orchard Park, and another bigger one somewhere else I’m not quite sure of. MapQuest it.

9/29/10-Interveiw with Kelsey Oshucha
Me: What do you have going on in your life inside, and outside of school?
Kelsea: I have National Honors Society, Key club, Help Club, Athletic Assosiation, and Cheerleading in school. Ummm.........I don't know what I have out of school....Morgan(D.)? What do I do outside of school?
[All in all, Kelsey needed the guidence of Morgan Dulski figure out what she did that didn't involve school. Such as hang out with friends, her Mother, and loving boyfriend. Shopping too.]
M: Are you doing anything currently to get ahead in whatever you plan to do once you graduate? What is it?
K: I've done some tours of colleges, like Daemon, which is the college I want to get into, and Hilbert college. I've started my letters of recomendations, and I've even sent my application for Daemon. I also plan to get a job at a daycare center to get experiance for what I want to do when I graduate high school and college.
M: What's your plan when you graduate?
K: I want to get my degrees in earlt childhood education, and buisiness, because I want to open up my own daycare one day.
M: Do you have any fears?
K: Uh oh....Morgan? What I'm I scared of? Uhhhh, scary movies, being home alone at night? Failing and not making it through college, going to college for a long time then realizing the thing I went to college for wasn’t really what I wanted to do, and death. …I’m pretty much paranoid about averything.
[Once again, Kelsey needed Morgan's help to determine her own fears.haha]
M:If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
K: Read peoples mind? I probably would go insane though, so if I could, I’d also want to turn my power on and off.

9/24/10-Past
Adam gave me and Jake a proposal for a fun game he was thinking of, right after giving us a few sugary treats. The way he was talking to us made it seem like a PERFECT idea to spend our free time. So after moving the furniture into some sort of ring, placing me and Jake in the middle, he made sure we were hyper and aware with a sugar rush, before setting up matches for me and Jake to wrestle. What was the point of this? Adam used his younger siblings to make bets on who was going to win, and earn a little extra cash. Resulting with me and Jake with multiple bruises and a terrible sugar crash.
On the other hand, a few months ago, Jake and I were on our X-Box, playing LEFT4DEAD, with our brother Adam joining us online. After countless zombies and horrible scenarios, bothe me and Jake are low on health, and incompaciteded. Not able to get up, Adam sets us on fire. He also thought it would be really funny to set the difficulty to Expert, and start a car alarm, alerting all the zombies. What did Adam do? Hide in the safe room, perfectly protected.
What's the Lesson?
DO NOT TRUST ADAM.

Personally, I like the peacefulness. Sounds weird, but if you notice the average teenage life is actually pretty relaxing. The best thing I enjoy is probably the ability to act freely. I'm at that age where I'm old enough to be allowed to do things, but young enough to act ridiculous and have fun, without being criticized that I'm too old to act like that. I also enjoy having all the free time to play video games and be a nerd. So worth it.
I'm pretty happy now that I actually understood more than I did before. And I'm not talking about some innuendo I didn't get in a movie I watched when I was five. I'm talking about how I realize what advice my parents or other grown-ups gave me when I was younger. I mean, when we were younger, adults would constantly say something along the lines of "You can be anything you want to be," or "You can do anything you put your mind to". Now that I'm older, I finally feel the actual ability to make choices and go wherever I want. Besides actually hearing the words they said, I can actually feel the opportunities I can choose to get to wherever I want.
What I DON'T like, is how Jake's still at home, taking all my snakes and food I buy when I'm at school. The Jerk.
Another thing I like is how I have the ability to get a job and earn my own money to spend however I want. It's pretty sweet.

The best thing I wish for is to acheive upper middle class all on my own income. I want to have a peacful, yet interesting life. Thats really all I want to get out of life. 36
I plan on choosing a college to earn my two major and minor degrees in buisiness and fashion, and finding a good location to rent the building and start my buisiness. I hope in college I learn how to prepare and know what I'm doing, because I'm not too clear on that right now. 55
I enjoy sewing and designing clothing, more so for fancier purposes then every day wear. I'm not really sure why, but I prefer being creative in a way wear people can enjoy it more then just staring at it. I'm probably dramatizing and sweetening it up by saying it like that but it's true. 53
Maybe I'll even get to be well known and start my own line of clothing, or maybe a buisiness franchise.
