What's your favorite color? Why?

My favorite color is blue because to me blue is soothing. Most people say that green is a soothing color, but I myself think that blue is more soothing. You may think differently and that's okay.

My digital footprint

What is included in having a positive footprint? To have a positive footprint, I don't put my personal information(where I live) on any web site I visit. For example: Facebook and Myspace.
When should you start using your proper name and photo of yourself rather than an avatar? I think a person should start using their proper name and photo of them self when they either start a business of there own, have a business card, become a teacher of some sort, or when dealing with something for a job.
Who is responsible for showing you to be internet savvy? I would have to say that I taught myself what to put on the internet by seeing my friends put it out there and then regretting it. I also would have to give credit to my English teacher because she tells us what we should put and what not to put if we want to stay safe.
What information do you include on profiles when you register at a website? I put my name and my birthday(if asked for). I might(very rarely) put what town I live in but not my address or PO Box. I guess it all depends on what the web site is for.

Simpson's Episode: Tree House of Terror

I'm writing this to show that I know what the literary elements mean.

In this episode, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are in the tree house telling "scary" Halloween stories while Marge and Homer are cooking supper outside. While they are reading, they here a noise outside and go see what it is. It's an alien ship! The aliens take them and try to take over Springfield. The aliens feed the Simpson's and then Lisa finds a recipe book on "how to cook humans". The aliens see that she has found it and blow on it to dust it off. It then says, "How to cook for humans". Lisa blows on it and it now says, "How to cook forty humans". The alien blows on it again and it finally said, "How to cook for forty humans". Lisa hurt the aliens feelings and they dropped them off back at their house. The kids went back up into the tree house to tell stories. Homer was sitting outside the tree house in the tree. Marge calls the kids into the house for bed and as they are going down the tree, Homer is still sitting there shaking because he is scared. Homer has a nightmare that night.

Direct Characterization: The alien says, "This will fatten them humans up" while he was mixing a pot of stew.

Exposition: Bart, Lisa, and Maggie go into the tree house.
Rising Action: They start telling "scary" Halloween stories.

Holiday Extravaganza

My favorite holiday is Christmas because I get a lot of presents. I also like Christmas because I like to go snowboarding and snowmobiling. But only if there is enough snow on the ground.

If I could have a fantasy holiday, it would be BLUE COLOR DAY where everyone wears blue because my favorite color is blue.

If I could holiday in(vacation) a country, I would holiday in(vacation) Australia. I have always wanted to go to Australia because my friend Ink(Emma-Jane) lives there and I want to see a kangaroo.
